We already saw this play out with the mortgage crises. It was all the banks.

It wasn't the Congress pushing banks to get homes to everyone. (requiring things like a job disproportionately impacts my district!) Nevermind the tremendous number of ways Congress could have intervened.

It wasn't the fault of the borrowers. No, they are all noble people just struggling to get by on pennies. They weren't buying houses on credit and paying by flipping them on the run-up. Deep down, a lot of people knew they couldn't afford the house, but chose to do it anyway.

We saw this play out with cigarettes. The execs get dragged before congress and their performance was certainly ludicrous, but somehow the blame is entirely on them. The result is cigarettes are taxed more. They kill, but are taxed more. So the outrage was used to assign blame so the states could pull in more money.

Same thing here as far as I can see. Everyone has enjoyed their cut of the pharma pie, and when blame goes out the state which has been regulating this entire market heavily from top to bottom is blaming someone else and then absolving liability in exchange for money.

We really need to stop looking for single points of blame for these things. If it's at the point where we say, "look at the last 20 years how obviously reckless this behavior was" it's well beyond the fault of the person exhibiting that behavior.
> This is actually why it isn't ideal for AI to tackle. The fact is there's no market for the product.

I think you're disagreeing with a point that the parent comment didn't make.

It's worthwhile in general to continue AI research. The properties of this application make it ideal for testing and progressing AI technology. But if AI doesn't end up being used in this particular area in the short or medium term, that's another matter entirely.
You make a good point about the conditional probabilities.

The article also said "most". There is some relatively good data from Israel, but, still, in practice most doesn't just mean > 50% but is essentially wildly undefined. So apparently the author(s) of the article like to write with emotional adjectives instead of important numerical data.

The authors were trained in belle lettre (maybe art as in communication, interpretation of human experience, emotion or VEFEEE -- vicarious escapist fantasy emotional experience entertainment) or just like to grab people by the heart, the gut, below the belt to get eyeballs for ad revenue? Whatever, when they got to most I quit reading.
> This is actually why it isn't ideal for AI to tackle. The fact is there's no market for the product.

There's a difference between: not ideal to tackle and not ideal to build a business around.

It is absolutely ideal to tackle which will hopefully build confidence in a system that can then be expanded to solve harder problems. If you can't even solve this problem I don't see how you're getting public confidence in the harder ones.
Yes. I tried a reply above - I think the episode of CSI:Locksmiths has got a few strong replies :-)
Science is the result of the scientific method.

Whether you agree with science is up to you, and you can voice your opinion on it because in US we have the bill of rights ( thank you, founding fathers... )

But voicing an opinion and labeling it science, without using the scientific method, that's ignorance.
It's called rezoning them and letting the market handle it. Land value explodes, owners sell, developers bulldoze and build apartments.

You only have to do three things. Rezone, expedite permits, and encourage investment dollars to flow into development.

Sadly most cities that have this problem are failing on all three counts.
Interesting, interesting. I wonder how WallStreetBets and all the Apes would treat Reddit's stock. This could be quite a ride.

There were only ever 8000 confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-1. It was able to be contained. Wikipedia mentions that quarantines were very effective because it wasn't often asymptomatically contagious.

Let's say that's true. Even though they gained billions through actions that they knew would kill people, and half a million people died, there's no applicable law so they face no real criminal consequences. Oh well. Fool me once, shame on you. That's very difficult for me to accept, but let's say I do just for the sake of argument.

Where are the legislators crafting new laws that specifically spell out that you'll go to prison for the rest of your life if you misrepresent the effects of medication to the FDA and doctors in a way that causes this much harm? Or do we really think the exact same thing won't happen again?
I think this does answer some of the ambiguity I experienced with these concepts.

Your answer would suggest rational thinking does not come natural to us. That it requires a lot of discipline, external tools and culture.

That would suggest that the rational thinking itself does not take place in the brain, even when humans contribute to it.

I actually think we have the same problem, to a much lower degree, in the US. Clearly software engineers do get paid extremely well at top companies, and are paid reasonably at lower tiers. But in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, software engineers on average are only paid a little more than registered nurses and dental hygienists.

Software Engineers: ~145k
Registered Nurses: ~140k

(note these are for SF and San Jose, not overall - the source for all this is at US News Best jobs which relies on labor dept data: https://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs).

I've left a version of this comment a bunch of times on HN over the years, but I'll add the usual provisos - I don't object to nurses making lots of money, or more than software engineers for that matter, but I will point out that SEs overall really aren't remarkably well paid compared to other educated professionals. And while SEs at the top make well above the median, so do many nurses in specialties that require a MS or higher.

I'm just not convinced that women would be well served by leaving nursing, law, finance, or medicine to go into tech. I don't mean this in a work-life balance "do you really want this" way. I mean, if women want to build substantial independent wealth, power, and influence, they may be well served by avoiding tech careers (or, if they work in tech, avoiding SE roles). Honestly, this is pretty much the same advice I'd give men. I'm hesitant to discourage anyone from tech or SE roles, since clearly people do have great careers in them, and it's the right choice for some people. What I resist is the notion that people should be choosing it more often than they do, when in fact, I think the low to medium level of interest in SE careers is probably the product outcome of smart people weighing the demands and rewards of a career relative to their personal professional and life interests.

I consider it very rational that US citizens with choice generally choose not to become developers in the valley in the numbers that Silicon Valley execs think they should. It's not a huge coincidence that the people who staff these positions disproportionately work on visas that limit their range of free choice in career path.
Also not small.
So you want a lingua franca, which is English (ironically). A Japanese and Chinese business meeting would be more likely to be in English than in Japanese or Chinese as everyone speaks English as a second language.
"motivation" is usually the answer. Motivation can be (gaining) money, power, politics, etc.
Finland is a relatively small market. Sure, some consultancies make (or customize and integrate) software for local old fashioned companies like banks or for the government. But if you want to build a product and be ambitious and grow, exporting and going international is the only way. The local market just isn't that big. It looks very different compared to a larger country. I bet in Germany, you can make a lot of money with software just for German schools or banks or municipalities. Same in the UK.
You could also say: There exist at least some radiologists that can be beaten by an AI system. :D

I guess a good questions could be: Will they be more reliable than radiologists in scenarios other than the ones studied?
I don’t read it that way. Titles like “I did X” are interesting to me because then I know it’ll be a firsthand account. Whereas if it says just what it is it could be more likely that it is instead only talking about the same interview from another source that I had already seen.
> The housing crisis won’t be solved by electing new city council members in old cities alone. The incentives for incumbent homeowners to restrict the supply of new housing are too strong.

The bigger problem is that zoning law is created at the state level and then applied by each municipality, but housing prices are related to the housing stock of a metropolitan region of many municipalities.

For every expensive city that is (relatively) developer friendly (say Cambridge MA or Boston MA, which both grew population by over 10% in the past decade) there is a ring of NIMBY inner suburbans like Newton MA, Arlington MA, Weston MA, who viciously oppose even a single apartment building[0].

I can't argue about what general public thought; but I think the epidemiological consensus even before we had experience with these vaccines is that vaccine effectiveness wouldn't be 100%--based on our experience with other vaccines. Instead, we rely on population effects to do the work.

If susceptibility to infection is above some point in the general population, then infections become a self-sustaining cascade through social networks (of course, the composition and structure of that network also matter--I'm simplifying). But if you can push susceptibility lower enough, the infections will not cause self-sustaining cascades.

This is, btw, why I consider anti-vaxxers (in the before times) as free-loaders who relied on those around them being vaccinated to protect them.

SARS-CoV was less contagious and had a higher fatality rate, so it burned out quickly. There's no reliable evidence that it's still circulating in humans.

SARS-CoV-2 is more contagious and less fatal so it has already spread worldwide. It also has multiple animal reservoirs so even if there was some way to simultaneously eliminate the virus from every human (there isn't), we would just catch it again from dogs or deer or something and the pandemic would restart.
> Yes. Women are awesome in tech, and the field needs much more of them.

Aledade | Software Engineer (many roles, see below) | Remote USA | https://www.aledade.com Note: We are hiring for multiple positions for Software Engineers, Senior Software Engineers, Tech Leads, Software Architects, etc, due to a massive expansion in our business.

While we are looking for "T-shaped" engineers, heavy front-end experience is not required. I personally only work on the back-end writing Python and SQL and never touch the front-end. Thanks for listening, now for the canned stuff...

"Aledade is a leader in population health that is using innovative, value based solutions to transform the way physicians interact with their patients. We are on a mission to change healthcare for the better and solve complex problems within the healthcare system.

We're looking for a Software Engineer to help develop our web application, which helps deliver the right care to the right people at the right time. A Software Engineer on the Aledade engineering team is primarily responsible for expanding, improving, and maintaining our existing web application. We're looking for our engineers to be self-starting, and proactive; they are expected to serve as a trusted resource on the business logic in place as well as our system architecture. They are expected to work collaboratively, with minimal supervision, to ensure our application meets our users' needs, as well as project requirements and scalability characteristics."

On a personal note, my time at Aledade has been wonderful. The people I've worked with, both on the tech side of the house and the "in the field" employees have all been very knowledgeable and genuinely care about our mission. Our CEO and other leadership are VERY knowledgeable and genuinely care about the people in the company, and the transparency is like no other company I've ever worked for.

Our tech stack consists of Python 3, Postgres, Snowflake, DBT, Flask, and moving from Angular to Vue for you lovers of pixels.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions and/or a resume if you're interested, and I can submit your resume as a referral. Unfortunately due to the nature of the data and our work, we are only hiring people located within the U.S.

Wouldn't be surprised if this was an output of a WYSIWYG editor. These are notoriously bad for outputting garbage HTML, especially since multiple edits to the content can leave behind unneeded elements. Browsers are incredibly tolerant of invalid HTML (will do things like add closing tags), but they aren't all the same. When you generate garbage HTML, it's easy to see the differences between browsers and their attempts to correct it.
> If they want to attract more tech workers they really need to up their salaries.

Having a good salary is important but the work-life balance is just as important, if not more. I lived in Japan for a years (not as a dev, am now); I can make do with a lower salary due to healthcare being mostly sorted (you pay 30%, government pays 70%) and a good standard of living (better than London IMO), but I don't want to work absurd hours and deal with a toxic working culture, alongside a low salary.

I've met many talented women in Japan via Meetups and Women Who Code Tokyo and there's definitely no shortage of great developers. People just want a fair work-balance and an honest salary, which they are more likely to find at a gaishikei (foreign-run company)
>Perhaps if the midwest or South were more tolerant of colored folks, you'd get more people venturing out there.

Perhaps if you cared about the facts, you wouldn't make such blatantly false claims.

"[Black] College graduates and middle-class migrants make up a major portion of the new migration. For instance, from 1965–2000, the states of Florida, Georgia, and Texas attracted the most black college graduates. The only state outside the former Confederacy that attracted a sizeable migration of black college graduates was Maryland, most of the population growth being in the counties surrounding Washington, D.C. In that same period, California was a net loser of black migration for the first time in three decades."[0]

Many, perhaps most things with a "Made in USA" sticker are done with prison labor, particularly if made in Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama.

States have contracts with such for-profit prisons requiring they be kept fully "staffed", railroading as many victims as needed not to pay contract penalties. Police departments are generally agreeable about such policies; everyone they arrest makes them look more important.

So, to first order, "Made in USA" implies slave labor.
>Remember when we were younger and there was immense pressure on cable news to stop sharing the details of mass-shooting incidents because it was glorifying the shooters and their violent means? What Reddit is doing is what we asked cable news to do.

First, I was never part of said "immense pressure" so don't speak on my behalf.

Second, please read the links I posted elsewhere. /r/news's moderators, and Reddit's own CEO, admitted that the subreddit had completely bungled coverage of the shooting. As the Washington Post article and the replies to the previous posts discuss, they did more than that; for hours it was impossible for /r/news visitors to learn that a mass murder of 50 people in a nightclub had happened at all. I am a witness of the censorship on that subreddit that day.

Third, I question whether there was ever "immense pressure" in the US to do such a thing. Even in New Zealand, where said immense pressure by the government and others caused the manifesto written by the mosque attacker to be universally censored, and overseas sites hosting footage of the shooting itself were blocked, at least the public knew such an attack had occurred in the first place.

>(Also, like, stop blowing your dogwhistle so damn loud.)

Ah yes, the fabled "dog whistle". AKA "I can't find something to attack in what ideological opponent said, so I'm going to pretend that what he said actually means something else, and attack that instead".
I think it must be something about the incentives of publishing.
Sure, if Japan wants to screw itself over by keeping tech pay too low and women out of the workforce, there's nothing I can do from America to stop it. But non-Japanese people can comment on the situation "however way they want", too.

My car was broken into 3pm in the afternooon in Austin last summer. Nothing visible. They emptied the console and glovebox.

* tire pressure gauge

* my car's USER MANUAL, ffs

* charging cable

They left:

* small envelope with $80 cash tucked under the removable console coin holder.

* all the coins.

So very confused.
Van Eck phreaking relies on detecting radio waves produced by equipment like a CRT operating at tens of megahertz, a high-power VRM operating at 500 kHz, or frequency shifts in a processor clock operating at a few GHz. These wavelengths can be radiated by antennas of reasonable size. If someone was able to pick up radio waves off a headphone cable, it would probably be from the higher-order harmonics produced by switching power supplies in the amplifiers, not from the sound waves themselves.

Also, EMI certification just means that it doesn't generate interference that will damage other equipment and that it's not permanently damaged by external interference. It doesn't mean that it doesn't radiate any energy at all. FCC limits are pretty noisy when you're considering whether or not you can detect emissions with an active antenna.
Kudos to HD for not jacking up prices.

Not sure all the credit goes to them since if they jacked up the price during the fire, they'd be violating price gouging laws.

I'd push back on the 6% of AI systems being better than a radiologist and calling that a success, but you are right in the meta.

It's fair to say that yes, AI systems aren't good enough yet. On the other hand, it's pretty clear some technological approach will outperform a radiologist at pattern recognition at some point in the future - whether that's "AI" or "if statements" or some third option.

It's just a matter of time.
I don’t think that’s fair. The article clearly knows about prior art, and ‘only’ claims:

“This PR introduces a novel algorithm that:

- never divides

- avoids rejection sampling entirely

- achieves a theoretically optimal bound on the amount of randomness consumed to generate a sample

- delivers actual performance improvements for most real cases”
Living people aren't some kind of exhibits in a museum. If they don't want to retain their existing language as living, they shouldn't be forced to - just as they shouldn't be forced to drop it.

Same thing with language purity. Loanwords etc are a natural part of language evolution. It's up to the community speaking the language to incorporate more loanwords - or not - as they speak it.
In my opinion science should be about Truth, the rest should be left to people and their leaders. Truth being central to the process of science is what makes science unique and allows for societies to accumulate knowledge.
