While I agree with the point that you're making around employing caution against iatrogenics (with colonoscopies being a very good case study that one should make sure to understand before forming an opinion here, as you referenced in another point), I think you're overconfident in your prediction that this hypothetical scenario would be bad.

I think your claim (based on sibling posts) is that in the current medical system, if we just added more screening, we'd not necessarily get net benefits. But I think that ignores the fact that, if we had cheap and high-resolution screening, we could fundamentally restructure many aspects of medical care. The BMJ article you linked in a sibling[1] notes that cancer screening may reduce cancer mortality but increase all-cause mortality. That's an unexpected and problematic result of getting referred to a cancer specialist that might not have (or be incentivized to care about) a wholistic picture of health when you screen positively for cancer. But if we had higher-resolution data, and conceptualized medicine as primarily preventive instead of curative, then it seems likely to me that overall mortality would be your target, we'd have richer data to be able to track that endpoint, and so we'd be more likely to catch the cases where an intervention caused unexpected harms (because we'd be tracking more indicators).

In other words, the problem you're observing is that adding a bit more data to the current system can produce negative outcomes. But that problem would be fixed by adding even more data. (With the remaining question being, how much data would we need to add to reach the "net positive" regime?)

I think you're arguing against a change that looks like a harm from the perspective of a local optimum that we're currently working towards, without considering the dramatic paradigm shift into another higher-utility region that would have been brought along by this sort of technology.

In summary, I am much more optimistic that if we had orders of magnitude more data, we'd make better decisions, not worse. But I agree with your caution that it's not as easy as it seems.

Yes, I am. I am rejecting the premise that videos should be 5min. That 10min on traits and a 5min "demo" in this style is actually a productive form of learning.

If you can only do 160 min, do a 160 min journey. Consider any of the 3hr tutorial videos done at pycon.

10 min on traits, within that 160min, I think would be very productive.

EDIT: from elsewhere in this thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnWGO-tLtLA -- c. 3hrs on rust (I havent seen it, but I suspect that it is approached as a journey, will improve its quality).

Most police jobs don't demand that either. I know retied cops who never had to make a life or death decision in their job. (except first-aid situations which happen often but are different than this discussion)

It is useful for police to have a gun (but not required!), and they should know how to use it. However that doesn't mean they should use one off the practice range.
Much different from Python, though. As long as you compile your C program against the same version of libc you're running against, the program will still work, no matter how old the code. You just can't run a program that was compiled against an incompatible libc. A Python 2 interpreter can't run Python 3 code, and vice versa, no matter what, because the actual language changed.

Thanks for mentioning this. Two questions:

1. In your experience, what is the maturity level of Solid?

2. Would you mind sketching out how you would do the integration with Solid? I'm reading over https://solidproject.org/users/get-a-pod but haven't spend a lot of brain cycles on it yet.
I basically never receive an email to my personal account that I care about, unless it's a transactional email I just caused to be sent (password reset, email confirmation, shipping notice, that sort of thing) or I'm job-hunting. I go weeks sometimes without opening my personal email. I tried for quite a while to keep the inbox manageable with filters and aggressive application of the "mark as spam" button for anything from a sender I didn't care to ever hear from again, but at some point realized that I damn near never care about an email that I didn't expect to find, usually received within the last few minutes, so there's no point.
To go further, a large issue/distraction in biomedical research has been Big Tech types coming in assuming that the roadblock all along has been lack of smart computational people in the process. I will not name names, but have seen so many instances of personal tech heroes coming in & claiming the underlying problem was that some of the brightest computational I've ever encountered simply didn't know how to computer.

Nothing could be further from the truth. People coming in to "disrupt" only add noise. Eventually those people either understand this and put the effort in to understand the domain or they wander off.
Came here to say this. I trained for about 7 months before Covid shut everything down. I figured maybe I would just focus on lifting from here on out.

Then, 6 weeks ago someone stole my laptop from me while sitting in a cafe in San Francisco. Without thinking, I chased him down and was able to wrestle my laptop back from him. Without the BJJ, I probably would have just yelled at him. Anyway, I'm back at the BJJ studio!
Eh, Although I agree in theory I don’t personally agree that this is the way it works in practice.

At the end of the day, police forces are made up of people, and people don’t like their holiday being taken away. The incentive for management you are describing is to dole out more punishment, but the incentive at an individual level would still be to be to avoid punishment. In fact, management may be incentivised to dole out punishment for more minor offences, which again force further good behaviour.

Do I think it’s a good policy though? No I think it’s awful personally. People need holiday to relax and to do their jobs well, and taking away relaxation time can only lead to more stressed officers.

You would if you cared about diversification at all. That is, if Tesla has problems, the stock you hold goes down, and your sales go down. Even if you think Tesla's going to do well, if you're not certain, you're wise to spread the risk.

It's the same logic as saying that an individual shouldn't invest all their money in the stock of their employer. If the employer as trouble, the individual can be laid off at the same time that the stock crashes.
Hey, I can see this is emotional for you, but have you considered a world in which it is not telling this vast body of people "you definitely have cancer"? Something more like "we detected XXppm of [marker] which indicates we might need to do some more testing, can we talk about [risk factors]?".

I know you mean well but I think you completely missed the above commenters point.

You've replied here with answers to address their (our?) potential concerns, but the commenter never said they had concerns about the project itself, rather that this particular blog post doesn't "sell" or explain the value add well. That's feedback on the project's communication strategy, not on what it's actually doing.

> > Why? What's in it for them? Since when was giving our data to third parties a good idea? There is literally no motivation presented here.

You seem to be confusing "theys". The question is what motivates participants, not what motivates researchers.
> “oh wow burnout is real I’m so woke” is a privileged person problem

This is a profoundly destructive narrative.

First of all, comparing levels of privilege or disparaging people with a "privileged person problem" is unhelpful.

If we won the birthplace lottery and live in a wealthy and safe society the best thing to do is to use such advantage to make the whole world a better place and combat inequality.

Rolling your eyes is not that.

Second, burnout and depression are very common in the software industry and yet severely underreported and understated.

Many companies are responsible for exhausting on-call duty shifts, crunch time, endless deadlines. Some try to have employee perform unpaid overtime over weekends by calling it a hackathon.

You never hear these companies taking serious steps to address burnout.

You're wrong here. Folks actually deploying wanted better co-existence options for folks on IPv6, and it's shown up. You basically route ipv6 as IPv6 until you hit a network border that doesn't support IPv6, then go over to IPv4 for the rest. This let's me do IPv6 only devices without giving up IPv4.

As it is, they locked the upgrade cycle, because you can't do IPv6 only without losing access to IPv4 (historically).

> the employee overvalues their skill, thinking that showing up on the leaderboard is a shoo-in. Maybe the employer is right, maybe the employee is right,

Come on, this is just being coy — you and I both know this is a terrible deal for employees — as you write earlier, there’s a very low chance that a random dev will appear on the global leaderboard. What’s more, the best devs won’t even play this game, so it’s left for juniors and people trying to “prove themselves” to trample over each other for peanuts.

Not to single you out, but I wish influential tech folks like you would speak up more about the cynical exploitation that’s going on here in plain sight.

The NYT isn't a single mind. It's perfectly fine to present conflicting ideas. All of us hold conflicting ideas ourselves. I don't like that I discriminate against unattractive people. I'm an unattractive person. But I still pursue attractive people for romance, and I even fall under the spell of attractive people in a professional context. Charisma/mojo/whatever you call it goes a long way, and physical attributes are a big part of it.
This is because a lot of them have social lives that revolve around the workplace, usually because they're still at their first or second place of employment and they don't have kids. When work leads to evening dinners and bar runs, it's a vital part of the social experience. When you work with a bunch of seasoned developers in their 30s and 40s, you find that they have taken ownership of their social lives and their priorities after hours often do not include you.

"Ugly" is a bit of a broad term. What does it mean? It's basically someone who is unpleasant to be around or look at. So if the person is unkempt, has physical ailments from substance abuse, doesn't practice regular grooming, or is obese, he or she would be considered "ugly". But is that an innate characteristic or manifestations of personal decisions? And where do you draw the line? Do you have a right to show up to work without showering (something Steve Jobs did at Atari and they dealt with it without laws!)

It's a lot simpler with gender and race and if someone says I don't hire race X, that's pretty clear that its morally wrong and reprehensible. But if someone expects employees to portray a certain image, then that's different. But again, in a well functioning market, you don't have this luxury. Every company I've worked for, especially the low paying ones, went to great trouble to hire qualified employees. I can't imagine one of my employers ever denying someone a position because they think they'll find someone better looking.
That is a sigh of relief, at least for now.

At the time of this post, there are 3 occurrences of the word "exercise" in this HN post/thread and 2 are valid suggestions of exercising, such as yours, Snarfy! And I think you are spot on! I get that burnt out feeling when I don't exercise or move much, which COVID has increased (less social gatherings, going places).

There is a fantastic book, Spark, written by John Ratey, M.D., who is/was psychiatrist who used to prescribe drugs for depression and switched to prescribing treadmills instead! He makes a strong case for "exercise for brain health".

This type of work is definitely a factor in burn out, and more so, many of us in this industry have wired, curious brains that can exacerbate the situation even more. And then, when we burn out, we do that same thing to try to "fix the problem" and feel guilt/shame or whatever.

Exercise can help us keep healthy brains to help cope with this stuff much better. Exercise helps us secrete endorphins that make us feel good and help us feel good sensations to counter the stress from this type of work. It is super valid science nowadays as Dr. Ratey proves in his teaching.

For a good next step for anyone reading this and feeling burnt out, see you you can make it through this Ted Talk video by Dr. Ratey (the exercise instead of prozac pyschiatrist) > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBSVZdTQmDs. If you cannot do that, you may have sleep deprivation and need a nap, now. When you wake up, then watch the video, it is ~10 minutes.

This is also the same doctor who co-wrote the book Delivered to Distraction (recently brought up here on HN by Mark Suster) and ADHD 2.0 (2021).
Similar thing happened with the Hacktoberfest incident last year: https://blog.domenic.me/hacktoberfest/

It went so far that some guy actually made a very popular YT video about how you can make a PR for a small typo fix (I guess I still fail to understand why you'd need a YT video to explain that). Maintainers were none too pleased.

What a powerful question and distillation of what society is facing. I will think about this.
In 2007, I had a script on my website that records every click and every mouse move.
When my classmates are reading my webpages, I'm watching a video simulation of their mouse moves.

My website doesn't contain any textbox, so there's no personal data except IP address.
Nevertheless, I more or less know who's reading my page because every student has a static IP.

Nowadays, I don't collect mouse moves anymore, but I have navigator.sendBeacon() for video playback behavior.

As per Document No. 9, the existence of free liberal societies is an existential threat to the CCP and they will act to export their totalitarianism to extinguish them.

I was not aware of this document and just read the Wikipedia article and skimmed a translation. Yes, it describes the promotion of a number of western values as threats but I can not find where it says anything about extinguishing them, only how to limit their influence in the country itself, for example by blocking certain content in China.

The Internet Eats Up Less Energy Than You Might Think
If I had to wager a guess, it could signal that you have wealth, time, energy, apply effort into bettering yourself, and you care about things that do matter. Ugly people can reflect often that they aren't putting effort in their lives whether it comes to being fat. Genetic issues can signal basically, you have bad genes. If you see someone with down syndrome, your first instinct isn't "They are so attractive!" because it is an enormous detriment to your survival and future offspring.

It's all a show. But wisdom isn't what you know, it's knowing how to exploit what others don't to your benefit. It's not nefarious but part of the game.

Now this is clearly speculative and based off my own observations. It's significantly more nuanced than this and more than just one unconscious decision people make. It is however ingrained in us to know culturally what "success" looks like, and we meter others based on that.

It's about reaching the % of the population that is for whatever reason attracted by this format - and by no means is anyone saying they should stop there.
