The peril of noting the peril of politicizing science is that that itself will be politicized.

There's going to be some number on either side of the issue that genuinely don't believe they're politicizing the issue, they're just right.

If I were to say the sun rises in the east, that would be just objectively correct. If the Penguin Party were to say that it instead rises in the west and not accepting their belief is politicizing the issue, then what are my options here?

Sure there are probably those in the Penguin Party who know the sun doesn't actually rise in the west. But toe the party line, because it antagonizes the other party. And they know that there are those out there who actually believe it. And now they join the Penguin Party because here's a major group that is validating their existence.

But there are both Democrats and Republicans who believe the other party is the Penguin Party. They believe they are right. And they believe the other party is led by people who are telling people lies just to garner support.

Which leads all of us, down here, back to where we started.

And as long as there's support to be had for pushing a fantasy, there's going to be some unscrupulous people who are going to do it. I don't think it can be avoided.
Hi Hacker News! I’m the founder of DocOne (https://docone.io). DocOne delivers the most relevant physicians for any medical condition based on expertise. We currently cover all US physicians and ~4500 conditions.

Why? The complexity of medicine is accelerating exponentially. Medical knowledge doubles every few months. To keep up, physicians are focusing on narrow groups of conditions. While there are only around 40 traditional medical specialties, in reality there are >500 ultra-specialties.

If there’s one thing we’ve heard over and over from physicians (when they refer their patients) and people (when they search for specialists), it’s that they struggle to identify the right physicians. I’ve personally experienced this. Old-school physician directories (hospital, insurance, 3rd party like ZocDoc and Healthgrades) are essentially phone books. They don’t rely on expertise. They use patient reviews, which have no correlation with expertise. They often sell ads.

That’s why we created DocOne. Our team has a background in data science and medicine. We capture and mine large-scale, up-to-date medical knowledge sources, and use data science (computational linguistics, NLP, shallow and deep learning language models, information retrieval) to build models of medical conditions and to rank physicians according to their relevance to any given condition. Instead of doing the traditional search by physician specialty, people can do a precise search by an individual condition.

We're excited to show you the free and open version of our platform. We've tested it with a narrow group of patients, but we're ready to open it up to a broader user base. To search, start typing a medical condition and select an option from the drop down menu. Search nationwide, or type in a zip code or city/state. Filter by specialty (the platform knows all relevant specialties for each condition, helping the user search for the right type of specialist).

We hope you’ll take a moment to try docone.io and let us know how it goes. Excited to have your feedback! Please leave your thoughts and comments.

I always think if someone would break in, everything‘s lost…
Including all the expense of r&d, call center training, liability insurance etc.

Is this a viable business in a 50 square mile area? Is it scalable nationwide? Is it price competitive with traditional taxi and ride share?

The overnight use case is compelling as it opens entirely new transit options. Cars could be made competitive with air travel for the overnight use case. And traffic wouldn’t be nearly as large of a concern for most if they weren’t driving.
Why are people still arguing about a countries population density in late 2021? It is a completely irrelevant metric, lets include the Canadian arctic when calculating the density of Toronto and the effects of Covid, makes a whole lot of sense! A measure which actually has some relevance on country scale is population weighted density.

"Population weighted density refers to a metric which measures the density at which the average citizen lives. It is calculated by taking weighted average of the density of all parcels of land that make up a city, with each parcel weighted by its population" [0]

By that measure we get Sweden is at 2693, Denmark at 2399 and Finland at 1741. [1] Concluding that Denmark did amazingly well given the cards they were dealt and Sweden is at the average of Europe due to very a urbanised population compared to the size of the country.

I edited and clarified my comment with context and added some substance to it and deleted another one in a different thread.

Perhaps you'll now find that my comment is more 'thoughtful and substantive' and the rest of the comments in this thread have already descended further into mini flame wars.

The worse thing about it is that some don't even have any evidence to substantiate their own comments. Oh dear.

> The notion of taking "your shots" is anti-freedom as it implies someone or some organization defines what shots I must take.

Science defines what shots you must take. Science defines what shots we all must take in order to end this pandemic.
Or, more specifically, it defines the percentage of people who must be vaccinated in order to achieve herd immunity.

The refusal of 30-40% of Americans to listen to science, and the fact that resisting vaccination has become a symbol of tribal membership, has without question prolonged this pandemic, resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives.

These are facts. This is science. And people repeating these facts are not infringing your freedoms, they are pointing out the selfish, hateful behavior of those who can be vaccinated, but choose not to be.
Haha it's a great example, though in practice the stuff in display are rarely the healthy stuff ;)
Alternatively uh... Don't commit crimes?
We’ve been through all “for the children” brouhaha before: War on Rock Mudic Lyrics, War on Drugs, etc. It happens ny time a parent with influence decides that what’s best for their children is good for all children.

> Furthermore, electric cars still need complex parts! Sensors of all types, electric windows and door locks, key fobs, air conditioners, steering wheels, windshield wiper motors, etc. The list is so very long.

Traditional cars already have all of those things. For a given volume of cars, the quantity you need doesn't increase for an electric car. They're the status quo, not a way to make up for the loss of some other production.

And electric cars don't have cam shafts, exhaust pipes, fuel pumps, transmissions, emissions control systems, alternators, oil pans, spark plugs. That list is so very long too, and all of that is going away and not being replaced with anything.

So in the UK they can put you in prison for life without being charged or found guilty of any crime unless “they believe you”? Any source on that?
We cannot represent "correct math" on a computer, because the set of reals is uncountable, but in 64 bits we can only represent finitely many numbers, not infinitely many, let alone uncountably many.

And given that we have to implement some sort of approximation to the usual math on a closed subset of the reals (rationals, even), why not extend it with some "numbers" (negative zero, plus/minus infinity, NaNs) that, yes, enable programming convenience?
It's a fool's errand anyway.

Even if we could mandate all-electric tomorrow, it wouldn't make sense or be feasible for quite a while...

At the moment there's neither the capacity (or materials available atm) to make enough batteries, nor the infrastructure in eletry production, delivery, and charging, nor the money lying around to buy them (outside the West), to replace the 1 billion cars all around the world in any short timespan (say 20 years)...
Such an easy argument. The no lockdown failed, but it also succeeded because people locked down anyway.
> Sweden is a different country than Norway or Finland

Pedantic “every country is a different country” aside; Norway and Finland are absolutely fine comparatives.

The population density (in the populated areas), culture and genetic make-up of these countries is so similar that they may as well be considered the same country socioeconomically.

Hell, they used to even _be_ the same country (the union of Kalmar).

I’ve lived in Finland and currently live in Sweden. As a British person I see more similarities than differences. (Language of Finland vs the Scandinavian languages not withstanding)
The duress credentials keep the pipe wrench from being useful.

They don't keep it from being applied.
As somebody who worked on search engines in the past, I think there are contradictory requirements from different people. Some people only vaguely know what they want, and want the search engine to be smart and give them as broad field as possible, and if it doesn't, they call it "dumb". Some people need very precise thing in a sea of similarly looking things, and they need the engine to be strict, up to following the exact word order and keeping "filler" words in (looking for "to be or not to be" with common words filter on might be hard :) and so on. And if the engine is not strict enough, they call it "full of junk". It's very hard to find the right balance between the two, especially if you don't build per-user profiles. I'm not saying there aren't solutions but it's a very tricky business with a lot of failure modes.
According to the Tesla web page today the long range model has 405 miles EPA estimated range. Its possible that the article you posted is out of date.
who pays the driver during the recharging? The truck absolutely need to match the driver endurance, so that recharges can be planned during drivers downtime. The trucks are expensive, sure, but an asset. Drivers are the cost.
>A short explanation is that they set it up once after WW2 by copying from the US and Europe, but since then the countries they copied from got wise to the IP theft and copycat manufacturing and blocked the transfer of later tech and processes. So Japan is forced to keep up the old thing because it's the only way the know how to run.

LOL, that's not even wrong.
> If that's the concern, then triage the unvaccinated COVID19 patients last.

This is an ethics violation.

I don't really get your argument on risk. Non-vaccinated people with natural acquired immunity each got their special card rights by having caused a definite risk to everyone because they computed potential mutations perpetuating the pandemic and most likely perpetuated them. We have too high a population compared to 1918 to even have a that rough equivalent of what happens with a new virus in a pool of any more than 2 billion who aren't vaccinated.

All I hear when I hear anti-vax arguments is a freeloader who refers to natural things that are completely unrelated to the life science is letting them live. If you don't like artificial vaccination, you need to propose how you want to lower the population to pre-science era levels.
Yes, but we all know where this inevitably goes. See Instagram, Reddit, Facebook, Pinterest, etc
I used to really enjoy walking when I lived somewhere with decent parks. I’d wait till early evening, when it wasn’t as hot and head down to one of the river walk near by and just keep walking and thinking about whatever. A little while after things got dark I would walk up into town and grab me something to eat.

I really miss late night walks, but unfortunately where I live now there aren’t so many great options. A few nature trails that close early as hell and are probably moderately unsafe at that time. There are some of paths in the residential area I live in now, but they’re relatively short unless I want to link up to a main road (cars zipping past you at whatever speed does not do well for thinking) and I’m not gonna risk getting harassed because I’m out walking too late.

Thanks for pointing this out. Is it considered standard practice for websites to ignore unrecognized query parameters? Disclaimer: I'm not a front-end engineer; we put the site up in a bit of a hurry, using the framework I usually use for REST API's, where typically you want to error out if given unknown query strings.
Do you have any direct source for that statistic? The article that you've linked to is the Babylon Bee -- a site best known for their satire and fake articles -- lifting some infographics from an (uncited) article in the Daily Mail. Neither of these sources inspires confidence.
Which is what I'd already replied to.
Since they all have cameras, you couldn't go on a local bus or train without wearing sufficient clothes to obscure your face. For example, a hoodie + cap.

Cycling while avoiding roads with lots of shops is probably the best bet. In practise, private cameras aren't an issue except in very unusual cases. (E.g. with runaway children there might be a request for shop owners in a specific area to check their recordings.)
I really don't see generalisation, flexibility and ease of use (!) as strengths of neural networks and I'm shocked you think any of those are actually characteristics of neural networks.

To clarify I didn't mean that neural network approaches don't work. I meant that they don't work _for story generation_ certainly not if the goal is to generate coherent stories. In the article, the best examples of stories generated from neural network approaches (basically, nn-trained language models + x, where x is various clever tricks that try to patch up the gaping holes in neural nets' inability to generate a coherent story) look decidedly worse than the stories generated by symbolic approaches listed in earlier sections.

In my mind, the author of the article is being polite and trying to present the latest work in his field in a positive manner, possibly because of the natural tendency of researchers to not take a huge dump on each other's work. But some of the expressions he uses, like "in case we find opportunities to avoid throwing the baby out with the bath water" make it clear that he doesn't see the takeover of his field by neural networks as a step forward.

Btw, "cynical"? Should I take that as a personal comment? It sounds a little insulting.

the thing that really soured me on apple notes is that, not only did they remove precise drawing and zoom, but they flattened all of the previously vector-based drawings i had on my ipad pro. they did this without any forewarning at all via an ordinary ios/ipados update (no popup, no release notes, nothing at all). before that, it was poised to replace all of my paper notetaking and drawing, especially with the handwriting recognition stuff coming to fruition that they promised with the debut of the original 2015 ipad pro.

And 99.9% of people don't care if your algorithm is O(n) or O(n^2).

It literally does not matter what clueless people think or say about this subject. The informed 0.01% (that number isn't correct but whatever) have a huge influence on things and Apple has just as many incentives to please them as they do for the "I bought a 2K device to jack off and watch Netflix" crowd.
Yes, that is the point. The original saying is Hindsight is 20/20, implying it is very accurate. This version of the statement contradicts that, implying you can't really say what would have happened if things were different.
Have you ever righted a fallen bicycle? It wasn't your responsibility, you probably didn't feel bad or guilty, maybe you just wanted things to be right/nice. I think that might be the emotional tenor under discussion. Being in an emotional state where you take action because you have some investment in the outcome and not because you are trying to soothe a negative emotion.
Technically, that is not a license, since a license is something that grants permissions and that statement expressly does not.

They are somewhat orthogonal. You can have guilt with or without empathy. You definitely can have empathy without guilt.

If I give charity to a beggar, it is not because I feel guilty. I just want the help out the guy and I hope his condition improves. If I don't give charity to him, I don't feel guilty.

Guilt and responsibility often arise from cultural constructs, and indeed they partly exist to compel people who are not having empathy to act. Often it's a case of "You are a bad person for not giving money to that beggar" and so I give money to avoid being a "bad" person. NVC eschews the notion of "good" person and "bad" person, and encourages you to remove it from your internal dialogue. Give the guy money because you want to, not because of how others may perceive it.
It depends on the speed (that was 75 mph) and other factors - I would bet that car could go 700 miles with the right tires at a pretty slow pace.
This is missing a key crucial insight: the overall number of evaluated cases increases when AI is helping meaning that borderline cases which may have been ignored prior are now being evaluated. Said another way, with AI handling the obvious cases, the number of borderline cases being evaluated by humans increases. With humans having large amounts of inaccuracy, borderline cases before which may have been ignored due to not having manpower to evaluate are now being evaluated. This can and does lead to many more erroneous accusations despite the fact that all the borderline evaluations are being handled by humans.

Another factor here is that simply evaluating more data is also likely to lead to more erroneous evaluations since random chance has a much larger impact.
>"Scots pretty much is a dialect of English that is phonetically spelt out - it's not surprising that a US teenager could write it."

No, there are a number of distinct linguistic features of Scots, and it has its own regional dialects, e.g. Doric, Orcadian, Shetland (which is also in part based on the extinct Norn language). See e.g. https://dsl.ac.uk/about-scots/history-of-scots/ (and sub-pages such as https://dsl.ac.uk/about-scots/history-of-scots/grammar/ ) for further information. Simply doing a dictionary-lookup word-replacement completely misses all of this nuance.
Why not trains then? We could put the vehicles on tracks and link them together for extreme space and energy efficiency.
Anecdotally, I invested in Go and in IAC tools (Terraform etc). I've been building infrastructure, pipelines, as well as cloud-related tools for developers, and this niche has worked out for me really well. By that I mean, I doubled my income after a year of focus in this direction, after spending years doing more traditional web development (Python / Flask / Javascript / React / etc).
That's not what a fool's errand means.

The long distance coach to e.g. Leicester starts at the same place, but takes the motorway and doesn't stop until it gets to Leicester. Maybe it will then continue to another city, e.g. Manchester. (I've done this trip.)

The OP took intercity / intertown "local" buses, but they stop at many larger villages and towns along the route. This is much slower, as it usually involves leaving the large road and winding through narrow roads to the centre.

> Some birds of prey, such as hawks, are believed to have an acuity of around 20/2; in this respect, their vision is much better than human eyesight.

The scale of how good vision can be keeps going and going indefinitely (presumably until you get into physical limitations to resolution related to wavelengths). While 20/20 is considered normal and not in need of correction, it doesn't mean it's the best vision observed among human beings, or the best that's physically possible (for human beings or other animals).
I have about seven acres of woodlands on my property that are littered with invasive plants. If the government is auctioning off my property because of them, they're either going to be auctioning it off over and over, or somebody is going to have to strip the entire forest bare.
It depends on the region. Local news in Australia is on how lack of incentives for electric vehicles means there are very few models available. The cars are there, just sold elsewhere where the market is. Crank up your emissions standards or carbon requirements and the cheaper electric cars appear, with the old petrol models dumped in the backwaters.
