That argument is exactly the one made by my former company, Rad AI. Rather than focusing on trying to "solve" radiology they're focused on augmenting radiologists. Their main goal is to reduce the amount of time a radiologist spends on each report while increasing accuracy and reducing errors.

The point I'm making is that focusing on mammograms is not the way to do that. It's already a very optimized specialty. If AI researchers worked more closely with practicing radiologists (not academic ones) I imagine there's all sorts of areas where existing technology today can improve things.
In addition to these other answers, a commonly used metric in the literature is the k-Recall@R, or the portion of the top k ground-truth vectors that are found in the top R ANN queries. This parametrization can make it clearer when comparing between different approaches

For your case, you might find it helpful to look at the excellent ann-benchmarks.com, and in particular the benchmarks for GIST, which is an image embedding.
I've seen that call quite frequently in the past couple of years. Such as in a Guardian article [1], and from groups such as Neeva [2] - worth checking its "about" section [3] to see its backers etc.

Also, I think, worth taking the sort of sceptical stance expressed in a Wired article [4] from 2019, What’s a Digital Bill of Rights Without Enforcement?, which points out that some players ostensibly backing digital rights are possibly wolves in sheep's clothing.

It’s also worth noting that the resolution of the receiver or level of sensitivity required for actually receiving the data from these mediums from any considerable distance (from within a metal computer chassis case) even if it exists, will not be something that is likely attainable by a non nation state.

Also the amount of man hours required to set up a working receiver that is outside of detectable range would be too expensive to consider using this tech against anything but an extremely valuable target. There are of course other possible methods of pulling this off such as if a nearby mobile device is compromised it could be used to listen and repeat the weak RF signal coming from the memory but that would be another level of complexity keeping this from being an efficient technique.

Also of note is that there would be no way for the listener to reliably communicate with the compromised airgapped device to update their code if there is a problem so the communication would be similar to one way UDP.
A bunch of people have written about this. One major obstacle is that it's difficult under the law to get the Sacklers themselves convicted for actions taken random executives in the corporation, especially if (as has been written) the Sacklers were not themselves intimately involved in the operations of Purdue, but rather just the beneficiaries.

I'm not here to defend the Sacklers, who are odious. I'm just saying that there are reasons they aren't on trial for their lives, but rather having their assets attacked.

The important thing is that the vaccines are having a large effect on Covid-related deaths. Despite the current number of reported cases in Israel being equal to (or even a bit over) the January peak, the number of deaths is much lower.

According to Google's numbers, their current 7-day average number of deaths is 23, while in January they had a 7-day average of about 65. And it looks like the deaths peaked in the past week.

https://www.google.com/search?q=israel+covid+cases&rlz=1C1CH...

For reference, the numbers in Florida (where vaccination rates are significantly lower) look a lot different. You have many more cases and more deaths than the January peak.

So, they just become proxies, but then we have to figure out how good they are as proxies.

It's pretty sad actually. Especially if I'm trying to look up anything that might be related to a buying decision. What's fun is reddit's search feature is kinda garbage so they really need each other.
And how do you stop them being bought?

I'd actually love to see companies, especially ones in winner-take-all/network-effect types of tech start out with some sort of unbreakable guarantee of being cool forever. All young platform providers wants to appear open and free and interoperable and trustworthy, but incentives will have their way with them once the valuation gets high enough.

Is there a legal or moral vehicle that could prevent this? Has anyone tried it? Would the invisible hand get pissed and remove the magic that makes growth happen?
I will be impressed if they deliver any in 2022.

I've worked on both. I worked at Irrational with Unreal on about 3-4 games until we shipped Bioshock 2 and recently released Void Bastards on Unity.

Unreal is heavily oriented towards 1st or 3rd person walking around a level. Unity begins with a blank slate for really any kind of game.

The visual scripting in Unreal is a turn off, and nobody want to work in c++. Working in C# for Unity is a real pleasure.

Either you are twisting my words, or I phrased what I said very badly. Let me rephrase what I said, hopefully more clearly:

First, from the perspective of "the universe", the very concept of meaning is meaningless (sorry, no pun intended). From THAT perspective, Stalin or Pol Pot or Hitler or Djenghis Khan killing millions of people is no more or less meaningful or morally good or bad than the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.

But you and I are not "the universe". Nor is any other human being. To us, it DOES matter, a lot, what choices Stalin, Djenghis Khan or Napoleon make. As well as the choices you and I make, every minute of every day.

From a cosmological perspective, life is quite likely nothing more than a chemical curiosity. From our perspective, it is pretty much everything. The sun doesn't care if you are happy or sad or angry or scared. It cannot care (at least as far as we know). I can. So can anyone else who is reading this.

Ethics, I am trying to say, does not exist outside ourselves the way gravity or time does. But to us, it is just as real, maybe even more real, than any force of nature. This is what makes us human.
Switched browsers, ended up using bing for a while... It was even worse. SEO has destroyed the Internet, it's pretty hard to find anything relevant anymore... Outside a very few sites like Reddit, Stack Overflow and Wikipedia. And each of those has it own host of issue. Somethings kinda still work like technical information. Now to think might it be that some engineers at Google actually try to keep that section somewhat usable?

Chesterton has experienced quite a revival over the past couple of decades. The is even a Chesterton Society devoted to honoring his legacy. Given his impact on the early 20th century, the bigger surprise is not the revival but the fact that he became so quickly forgotten in the first place.

I enjoy both his fiction and nonfiction. He introduced me to distributism, an economic system that I have become a strong advocate for. He had a lot to say about Catholicism that I have found very insightful.

Yet I have always known that he had his flaws. He was a blowhard, and he admitted as much. The charges of anti-Semitism need to be acknowledged. The writer Dawn Eden, who credits Chesterton in part with her conversion from Judaism to Catholicism, has recently been tweeting about how she has continued to wrestle with this aspect of Chesterton.
Wow! The history of Monopoly continues to amaze me! :)

I have lived in Germany during many periods of my life (adding up to 3 years) and German language is still difficult for me even although I can speak and have simple conversations in German, I'm not able to write letters with the required formality in that language. Where I live (medium-size town in west Germany) few people speak English.

If I was to take a job in say, The Netherlands, I feel that at 39 yo, I have no chance of learning a fourth language (I already speak ES, EN, DE) with the needed proficiency to integrate by purely speaking Dutch.

Therefore, I hope that language barriers are lowered in favour of a real European integration.
Ask HN: Where is Aaron Swartz's PACER document dump?
Aaron Swartz purportedly downloaded ~20% of PACER. 760GB or so. Are the documents available online?

---

Carl Malamud: “And data started to come in, and come in, and come in. Soon there were 760 GB of PACER docs. About 20 million pages.”

Narrator: “Using information retrieved from the trial libraries, Swartz was conducting massive automated parallel downloading of the PACER system. He was able to acquire more than 2.7 million Federal Court Documents. Almost 20 million pages of text.

Here we go again... platform vs publisher...

If you choose to decide what stays on your platform and what is removed, you should be responsible for the stuff that stays there. If you want to offload the liability to users/posters/commenters/..., then you should not be able to have agendas and decide what is removed (except for illegal stuff of course).
>> Why couldn't overdrive simply cut a deal where a group of people (a school, a county, a company with benefits) is allowed to 'check out' a copy.

That is literally what they did. In the US, most public libraries are at the county level (though some at the township level or city level (e.g NYPL).) The library is serving to validate residency in the county and to segment county funding from tax dollars to the private service. The rest of the service is between the end reader and Overdrive. Even the catalog appears to be a whitelabel service atop Overdrive's APIs. The Library checked-out list likely reflects an API call on Overdrive -- there is no way a county library has the sophistication to build this out.

Similarly, my employer used to pay for the OReilly Safari service which is very similar, except from corporate coffers.

Similarly, my University used to pay for a textbook service, this time from University coffers.

> Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) plans to take a more proactive approach to determine what types of content violate its cloud service policies, such as rules against promoting violence, and enforce its removal, according to two sources,

I am old enough to remember in the 1990's that a lot of people believed that video games promoted violence.

I believe that once a technology becomes widespread enough to become infrastructure it needs to be regulated to allow fair access to it. See examples of railroads, phone lines, etc.

While that's in the style of a pull-quote, it is not a pull-quote. It's a quote from the Bloomberg article that the author of this article is generally disputing.
That's not a difference in what they do or even in how they're used. There are plenty of subreddits that rely on real-time interaction between posters; arranging pokemon trades is an obvious example.

The difference is purely branding.
I did some quick googling and reservations for a signature 2020 roadster were able to be placed as of November 2017 for $50,000. At that time Tesla's stock price was around $60. (I'm assuming that price is adjusted for the stock split that occurred, correct me if I'm wrong.)

As of right now the stock is about $730. Had one purchased Tesla stock instead of reserving a roadster in 2017 it would now be valued at around $600k which is enough to buy 2 roadsters and change at $250k each. Who knows where it will be in 2023. If I recall correctly reserving a signature Model X was a similarly terrible investment vs buying the stock.
I noticed later submissions often had higher scores. Could this be a function of hn getting more popular over time?
It does sort of make me wonder what community need Reddit fulfills - discoverability/searchability? Single login? - because it's sort of a weird halfway house between forums (differing in that not searching, and duplicating an old thread is somewhat necessarily okay) and chat.
For breast screening, this task is high volume and low prevalence and AI can help with radiologist burnout from increased caseload.

Why? Look how fast technology progresses these days and how people have become so used to it. Seemingly impossible technological advances are rarely met with skepticism and disbelief but rather a shrug of the shoulders and a “Huh, guess they figured that out.”

That’s partly why people are so easily scammed by companies like Nikola and Theranos.

Well, Brian is firmly in the LISP-style camp of programming which eschews static typing, promotes heavy use of macros, one-man-army style development, excessively interesting code. He also doesn't like automated testing, or any kind of tests. "Why would you plan for failure?"

It is not a scalable attitude to have in the modern software world.

I think it helps that Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are all very similar to English in grammar – but with less flexibility, e.g. a sloppy but understandable word order in English might make no sense at all if spoken in Danish.
My Japanese wife knows all the grammar rules for English and sometimes corrects me. But she still asks me to proof read her public documents because her writing doesn't always flow like a native, she'll use unusual sentence constructs that, though grammatically sound, don't sound "native".

Iriduim phones are much smaller (~5x, I guess) than first Motorola mobile phones. They are capable of internet access, likely with first-generation GPRS speeds, and at killer rates.
Not necessarily. If you were running a casino and someone was able to significantly beat the odds on 34 of your 36 tables, would you assume they cheated at all other tables but not those two, or just that other players at those tables were really good?

It could be that 2 of those systems are actually better. It could also be that the state of the art in deep learning just isn't there yet for radiology. But this is a strong suggestion that research is being dramatically overstated, so I would get real careful with my investments in this area overall.

Well, sorta. In practice people don't use one line statements and it's considered unpythonic. So much so I forgot it was even possible, so you're right, I was wrong. Black converts it to a multiline statement. Also, the Ruby syntax for them is better because it makes it clear it isn't a mistake.

By conditional assignment, I meant more something like this:

some_var ||= 45

And I know I can do either:

some_var = some_var or 45
some_var = some_var if some_var else 45

I'm living in a universe where Slack and Gmail are horrendous yes. That's why I brought them up as examples of low bars. Twitter is somehow even worse.

There's nothing "correct" about Twitter's infinite scroll: back button is never quite sure where in the timeline it should bring you. Occasionally the top or your last position, but most frequently a random tweet somewhere in between.

But the major issue isn't UX: I don't find it as bad as some here say. The real problem is the abysmal performance. Not just the load time (the page loads blank, then starts loading actual content) but then after everything is loaded every single interaction comes with enormous UI lag. Literally an active click-wait-click-wait cycle.
pre-WWII British literature is knee^h^h^h^helbow deep in casual antisemitism. Graham Greene, Stella Gibbons, John Buchan... they all got in on the act.

Of course, there were plenty of writers who didn't fall into this trap, but I grew up reading my Dad's knackered Penguin paperbacks and hit this kind of thing often enough to find it unsurprising if endlessly gross.

I don't really buy the whole "let astray" thing. Either Chesterton had rare penetration of thought, combined with half-witted bigotry that all his own, or you think he was so dim he couldn't identify stupid arguments put to him as an adult. You can't have credulous and analytic at the same time.
Maybe they have control over people because its as easy as reducing complicated nuanced issues into black and white or red and blue.
