Inc-Query | Solutions Eng. (not dev) | Full-time | REMOTE [US/Europe/Africa] | https://inc-query.com

Small, profitable, rapidly growing, fully remote tech company. We program surveys insanely fast for private equity and management consulting clients.

If you enjoy dealing with very smart clients in a somewhat technical and fast-paced environment, this role may be for you. The Survey Director exercises 3 different skill sets:

1. Client management/communication skills: Interact with clients all the time

2. Business acumen: Learn about different industries/niches and transfer learning across projects

3. Technical skills: Never-ending supply of short coding puzzles (think <10 lines)

This is not a software engineering role, but some coding familiarity is required. It's a tough role, but super interesting work!

If you're interested in learning more, shoot me (the founder) a note with either your resume and/or LinkedIn: hn [at] <our-domain-from-above>. You'd be joining a bunch of other HNers who work here.

But 100% of AI systems are more accurate than some radiologist.

Is your interest enough for you to pay to hear it? If so you answered your own question.

Otherwise just know some people would be willing to pay for it.
I have not seen one that is. You can block data access and revert to USB 2-level power "negotiation" with a couple of passives and that is all I've seen anyone do.

I did look into designing one a few years ago. The PD negotiation is quite complicated (and is done through the signaling lines, so you have to manipulate them yet block all other uses).

That was early days for USB C -- there may be better chip support for doing that today.
I'm pretty happy with my Coway air purifier, and that seems like the consensus based on the reviews I've read. The purifier was pretty affordable, as are the filters (keep in mind that filter costs and electricity consumption can impact cost of ownership much more than the original purchase price!).

It isn't Apple, but one of their models does have a striking resemblance to an iPod shuffle: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61716qA3rEL.jpg
for 2020 I made one, it was well worth it for having indoor air that wasn't AQI ~300.

It was a stop gap until I could actually get my hands on a large commercial air purifier, those were unavailable at the time.
One thing that I find a bit shocking about the linked article as well as this thread is the complete abscence of discussion from the recommendations on how to learn philosophy. Yes, reading philosophy is an essential prerequisite, and the truly novel stuff is often done in silent reflection, but discussion is hugely helpful in both understand and expanding philosophical discourse.

Take almost any book on the list of the OP, read it with a friend, and you will probably disagree completely on at least a couple of the points made, or how they should be interpreted.
"Sometimes there are pedestrians in the road", yet people still drive.
The methodology in this paper compared the results of the radiology report to a follow up biopsy.
I upgraded my heat pump and furnace system last year and spent the extra money to put in a filtration system. We had a two week stretch with AQI of 500+ outside from the fires and never even got a hint of smoke in the house. Great investment.
You could simply see if the person had actually gotten cancer with the benefit of perspective.
> 1. Presumably we are most interested in the 6% that are more accurate.

Why? At 94% failure, this 6% sounds like lucky guessing by a computer.
We just need worse radiologists.
I don't know how much guessing is involved in making a diagnosis but some AIs could have been lucky. It would be hard for the doctor to win all 'games' even if better.

I agree. I think the implied conclusion that “none of the AI know what they’re doing!” is disingenuous.

This is like the comparisons of 200 top hedge funds to index performance and concluding that hedge funds can’t beat the market. Ignoring the other conclusion: most hedge funds suck

Edit: or most hedge funds are fraudulent?
Oh, there’s definitely a double standard here.

> There's no rule that says it couldn't potentially use a large fraction of those atoms for its functionality

There is no question that a neuron uses a large fraction of its atoms for its functionality, as is every other cell. What I think you're postulating is that these atoms form a functionally uber-complex network with mind-boggling combinatorics - but that position does not align well with current science. Single neurons are not that smart. For starters, they don't have the I/O address space or bandwidth to be, nor do they have the energy budget to behave like a block of Computronium.

Neurons have not been opaque black boxes to us for a long time now. We understand a lot of the biochemical processes going on in there. We may not have a complete picture in many areas regarding many neuron types, but there is not enough unexplored space in there to allow for a cell-sized quantum supercomputer or anything like that.

The upper bound on a neuron's computational complexity is dictated by the intricacies of its protein machinery, which is many many orders of magnitude lower than the number of atoms making up the whole.
The cable claims that it's a random 3rd party keyboard when it talks to the Mac, the cable claims it's a random non Apple device when it talks to the keyboard, the keyboard falls back to non-encrypted mode as it's not on a product that supports it.

Man in the middle is hard to prevent when you need to be compatible with incredibly broken insecure legacy protocols.

Apple could maybe go the route that all new Apple keyboards only work with new Macs and iOS devices, but that would mean that they can't work with any existing Apple hardware or third party systems.
I do recallusing a 3M filter that removed VOC's but perhaps it was a higher MERV Rating.

Here is a substitute.

FPR 12 HomeDepot filter.

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Honeywell-16-x-25-x-1-FPR-12-Air...

The Honeywell Ultimate Allergen filter is made of a reinforced pleated media designed to capture particles down to 0.3 microns, 300x smaller than the diameter of a human hair. This filter incorporates the power of Arm and Hammer odor reduction technology into the media in the form of performance enhancing dots. Its large surface area improves the efficiency, providing a greater dust-holding capacity and lower energy costs. The filters electrostatic charge helps attract particles that would otherwise pass through. The Honeywell Ultimate Allergen Filter is effective against the following contaminants: dust/lint, airborne dust mite debris, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, microscopic allergens, virus carriers, odor, most smoke and smog particles, as well as VOCs.
Well, just like all technology that wasn’t perfect from the start we should probably just give up. /s
I was sent RAM that contained a space blanket. Didn’t catch it until I was doing my build later on. It was a few days after the return window but they ended up honoring a return.
I strongly suspect this "fleet-in-being" effect of private arms only marginally affects outcomes, and even that is outweighed by their utility as a tool of oppression.

The best I can figure as a credible argument for private arms ownership, is that it's a canary-in-a-coal-mine: states that retain private arms ownership probably aren't heading toward tyranny, but ones that lose them might—might—be. Seems pretty weak, still.

Simply, when a pro-liberty or pro-democracy position is popular enough, guns don't seem to be needed—not even the threat of them, mass resistance absent guns seems to suffice. When those positions are not popular, guns don't have have a history of helping—in fact, they tend to be used to suppress those positions, if they play a role at all.

Or do they? Again, I'd love some examples. I'm a big fan of argument-from-what's-actually-happened, when it comes to politics (and economics, for that matter) and my inability to find much of that sort of evidence in favor of widespread private firearms ownership, specifically when it's justified as being necessary to preserve liberty (there may remain other reasons to keep them around, but that's the usual argument for why we must not touch the 2nd Amendment, in the US), is why I'm at where I'm at on that issue.
A quick summary of what is included for those who don't feel like reading the spec:

- Some miscellaneous bit twiddling instructions (rotate, permute, pack, ...) useful in various crypto schemes.
- AES.
- SHA2 (-256 and -512).
- SM3 and SM4.
- Physical entropy source (with some variants to accommodate low profile variants)

The SM3/4 were unfamiliar to me - apparently it is a hash function & block cipher used in Chinese WiFi variant. Should I just assume this is backdoored?

Show HN: Interactive Visualisation of Bézier Curves
In the last 3 days I've worked on this little side project. I got the idea when I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVwxzDHniEw . I just had to agree with her. Bézier curves are truly beautiful. While coding this project I sometimes found myself playing around with the curves for 10-20 minutes. Something about them is just hypnotising.
You seem to have relatively clean air already. I probably wouldn't even bother with air purifiers in such a situation.

Where did you buy air filters? I live in a third-world country and couldn't find them anywhere, so I had to buy a factory-built purifier. It really struggles to keep up when it's 1000+ µg/m³ outside. I'd like to add a second one (preferably DIY).

Class differences are understated or poopooed in American politics. But class divides are very real and they marr everything you see, including the Sacklers getting a pass.

> feels like it was designed to protect families

That's because it is designed to protect them. When a good enough team of lawyers can free you from consequences, it equates to being able to buy off justice.

When the majority of financial instrument controls are designed to limit the financial activity of the layman, who does it benefit? Just yesterday I was fighting with my bank about how much I could spend on a single purchase. It was a startlingly low number. The amount I can actually withdraw from an ATM at any point in time is lower.

And what divides the classes most is the law. The law benefits those who can navigate it effectively. This boils down to people wealthy enough to buy, barrow, and steal professionals to navigate it for them. If the law were simple, everyone would benefit because everyone could navigate it easily.

All that to say, you aren't the only one.

Sure, the article does that, but not Spring themselves. Spring responds to the product creator that it's not their fault, it's Affinity's fault for trademark enforcement. But the reality is that it's not Affinity's enforcement that's the issue. So yes, the article does a good job of getting to the heart of it, but for everyone who can get the attention of the press for their cause, how many are stuck with Spring's nonsense answer and attempt to shift blame?

Maybe I've misunderstood the situation, but it seems like the free software community's distrust of TPM may have been a setback to desktop Linux security. Windows 11 will ship with what seems like reasonably robust TPM-based anti-rootkit security. Open source tools for using TPM exist, but does any Linux distro enable them by default?

As clever as this idea sounds, it's not a good suggestion. I once accidentally left my windows down in SF for 12 hours and my car was essentially stripped clean - headrests, registration, proof of insurance, manual, floor mats - all gone. Additionally all my doors and trunk were wide open.

Can’t find what it is, but many years a 6 cent sheep pill was approved for human use for some rare but deadly disease. However the price went up to thousands per month.

So of course people were using the sheep pill instead. Family were not happy it. But if you can’t afford human version, well....

Was a bunch of news cast on it at the time.
I have one, but I still use Locast because I'm in an apartment. I don't have line of sight at all, and I have a lot of issues with signal quality. And I live 3 miles away from my local NBC station, and the only window I can point my antenna has a bit of line of sight, thought it is at about 70 degrees. Yet my recording of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies had severe compression artifacts due to missed parts of the signal every 2 minutes. Locast or paying nearly $70+ for cable is the only way I could watch over the air broadcasts, and I'm not going to pay $70 for cable to watch ad filled content that's 80% reruns and barely any of the sports content I want to watch.
Not sure why this is getting downvoted. I know at least one person who had to get rid of their car after a stinky street person crashed in it. This is a real thing that happens and once an awful stench has permeated cloth and upholstery there is no easy fix.

The "USB condoms" I know are USB2/3 only which means there isn't any form of PD negotiation anyway, and the oldschool Qualcomm Quickcharge and Apple's negotiation won't work either as these depend on D+/D-.

A decent USB-C condom would also have to cut not just the USB2 D+/D- line, but also the USB3 SS and SBU lines... the really interesting thing is the CC wires, since without these you can't have reversible connectors, but not cutting them leaves an avenue for attackers (e.g. putting an USB-C port into JTAG mode). And on top of that USB-C PD 1 used the Vbus line with an overlaid HF signal.

That means a decent USB-C condom will need:

- a low-pass on the Vbus line to block PD1

- cut D+/D-, SS, SBU

- cut CC1/CC2 and insert an as-dumb-as-possible controller chip to handle plug orientation

> 2) I'm less worried about creating new things to be unethical to than I am about the dis-ethical treatment of currently sentient beings.

Both of these relate to one of my major concerns:

We don’t yet have a testable definition of “feelings, desires, or consciousness” [0] such that we could even tell if an AI did or did not have this characteristic.

[0] and any of the other various words frequently thrown around as attempts to create such a definition. Every time I make this claim I get responses along the lines of “yes we do: $foo!”, but in my experience so far, all of these turn out to be one of (1) circular definitions, or (2) things humans don’t have, or (3) things which plants and the enemy characters in Wolfenstein 3D do have.
Do you think that politicians there are being tempted into authoritarian legislation under CCP influence or is it more homegrown? Most Australians I've met have seemed to be freespritied, I just don't see them so easily rolling over for 24/7 surveillance and 1984 policies like this.
What was really strange about the whole Opiod Crisis thing was this weird narrative that was being pushed for a while with all sorts of people claiming that Ibuprofen was just as good as Hydrocodone.

I have tried to make a cable like that in the past be the best I got was to hide the electronics in what looked like a bead.

As an engineer who doesn't use many cloud services, I personally agree with this perspective.

On the other hand, there are a great number of "users" who have no interest in "using" their computers in as much as they are simply trying to accomplish some other task. Many average consumers just want to enjoy the outputs of their technology -- if someone else is giving the orders to the computer, that's not a drawback in their mind, if anything, it's a benefit. There is a reason why people are eating up cloud services, and this is it.

RMS's argument made a lot more sense when computers were a professional tool used by trained individuals. But that audience has changed a lot in the past 30 years.

Title isn't remotely clear here. "94% of 36 AI systems evaluated were less accurate" could mean the 36 systems were less accurate in 94% of cases, or it could mean that 34 of the 36 systems were less accurate.

From the actual article's abstract, here is what was meant:

> Thirty four (94%) of 36 AI systems evaluated in these studies were less accurate than a single radiologist, and all were less accurate than consensus of two or more radiologists.

I wonder if the HN title was written by one of these AI systems.
