I think that "Exactly what has happened since and the precise cause of Mr Bennett's death is not clear." indicates that the reporter is not clear, not the physicians. Other sources like https://www.wbaltv.com/article/man-received-historic-pig-hea... talk about infections and indicate his illnesses and treatment were well understood. Even though the patient was a public figure he has HIPAA rights and the hospital has obligations towards him. I don't doubt much more will come out in subsequent published research.

The chance they don't understand in great, great detail the cause of Mr. Bennett's death is nearly zero. The chance that IRBs aren't equipped to handle the ethics of this decision in the future are also very low.

I'd count it as 1 step in a multistep process. Each step of the process gives more info, but is also more investment from each side.

I've also never seen it split over multiple days. Often, pre covid, the company is flying people out and paying for hotel rooms and food at this stage and the interviewee is taking time off from their current job. An extra day adds unnecessary costs to both sides. If I was interviewing somewhere and they tried to split up this step I'd probably get annoyed and potentially cancel the interviewing process.
However, if it had been a dog's heart that was used, there'd be without a doubt at least one comment - probably several - expressing either kudos or sympathy to the "donor" dog.

I love dogs (especially mine), but there's no objective reason a pig's life has to be worth less than a dog's.
Yes it is called constrained optimization or mathematical programming or constraint programming.

Problem is that it does not scale to the sizes we need for dnn's. At least not yet.
Not at all, but a status increase for sure.
“At least for now, humans and machines complement each other’s strengths.”

Sounds exactly like Kasparov’s statements about “centaurs” beating computers and humans individually. That was a transitional period - no one says that anymore in chess.
I guess the question is what rights. I think property rights should be off the table. Right to life? Humans get killed by the state if they break the law. Right to not be retrained? Is an ai that has its weights updated still the same ai or a different one? My opinion is that humans and human civ (this includes e.g. a healthy planet that can support us) should always come first. Do you have an idea of what right s you think an ai should have?

It's not great but libdtmx is the best open source datamatrix decoding as far as I know.
An interesting thing about the linked quora question is that they do show a few examples of times scientists were generally wrong about something. If you look at them, they seem to have certain commonalities: they involve some deeply perplexing observation (either practical or theoretical), generally made by those with a deep experience of related subjects.

By contrast, the instances where scientists were all wrong do not, it turns out, look like wildly simplistic, obvious ideas conjured by those who apparently never even skimmed the wikipedia article on the subject.

I think there are a large percentage of programmers at Swedish national soccer games, as they release tickets online at a first come, first served basis. (At least 10 years ago) This is also true for fancy restaurant bookings.
zxing does not have a usable datamatrix decoder last I checked. it's there but it's no good.
I'd also add that the subconscious parts of the brain seem to function quite a bit differently from the conscious parts. It's hard to reason about something like "why does my eye see how it does" when those parts aren't consciously accessible.

I told it it was a list of Windows versions:

- Windows 11

- Windows <new> 12

- Windows 2K

- Windows ME

and it repeated old versions from there. I think it thinks the list is alphabetically sorted?

Apple may be giving people "what they want", but the source of its tremendous impact was always knowing ahead of time what people would want if someone told them they could have it.

If Apple is giving people "what they want," it's because they no longer have a visionary to show us a future we would want if we were told it was possible.
There's a huge difference between the two. Shoes and shoe culture can matter a huge amount to some people. Skins aren't really in the same category. Skins literally do nothing, and don't have the same value or impact on a person's identity or social standing. Shoes do. Not to me, but some people do care.
That actually sounds like an improvement overall. It would be easier for me to schedule an hour a day, at the start or end of my day, every day for a week than to take a full day off to go interview somewhere.

Author is saying similar thing ... steps matter in crafting the best UX .. they are not a meaningless measure as I'm sure you go crazy if you went to a website and to submit a document you had to upload then click a continue button that took you to another page that than had the submit button on it. THat's just stupid .. steps are no way a meaningless measure in UX they are the biggest rule when designing ... K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid .. adage).

I hope you are not a designer you'd add unnecessary steps it sounds ;-)
You seem to be missing the point - his repayment to society was being the guinea pig for a medical experiment, which would have been unethical to do on somebody in nearly any other circumstance.
"HN sometimes punishes attempted humor"

Untrue, devs will still need to run it to check types.
That would make the local variable foo in myfunc equal to "bar", as opposed to setting a key named foo in the dictionary kwargs equal to "bar".

edit

Nevermind, I see what you mean. Yes, it would be equivalent, but it can be used in other scenarios. This was just the one I thought of.
We know for a fact that both the theory of General Relativity and the Standard Model are both "wrong" in the sense that they model reality piecewise with no overlapping scope, and no clear way to arrive at a unified theory that covers that gap. It's like approximating a single function with two wildly different methods, and just ignoring the bit in the middle where the two methods clearly don't agree.

Similarly, there is no consensus agreement for much of what quantum mechanics covers, despite the theory being over 100 years old and used in practical applications.
We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30615191. I realize you were responding to the parent's point, but the subthread unfortunately became a generic behemoth about Uber. Almost like it was 2016 again, or something!
One consideration is that Amazon rounds RSU vests down to the nearest share, leading to larger and larger rounding over time (without splits). Splitting reduces RSU vest rounding, which could now mean an extra ~couple thousand dollars worth per RSU vest
I'm not aware of such hiccoughs. Could you please provide some examples that are specifically traceable to renewables? I mean excluding cases of general underprovisioning where renewables happen to be part of the energy mix -- this has been happening since before renewables were big and I reckon it will keep happening.

As far as the hard cap you mentioned, I think there's no danger of us hitting that cap in the next decade or so. Later on, maybe. Battery technology is also improving rapidly, so perhaps it will never be a true limiting factor.
> no objective reason

Why would the reason have to be objective? It's perfectly fine that the reasons are subjective. We're talking about people's emotional responses afterall.

It was aiming for better compression than LZ4 at much higher speeds than deflate. Now brotli and zstd on their faster settings mostly beat it in that niche.

Virtue signaling, hell - it's not as if I'm vegan, or even vegetarian; I value the lives of wasps and spiders, and couldn't give a damn about pigs or cows. Not a great fan of factory farming, but mainly because it's a blight on the landscape; it'll go on in any case whether or not I partake of the proceeds, so I see no reason not to get the benefit.

Everybody draws their own lines, is all, and this is one of mine.

“supports len()” and “is a Sequence” are fairly reliably equivalent, and using len() fails fast in many cases (e.g., iteration over a potentially infinite iterable) not doing so would not and be less desirable.

Type checking via mypy, pyright, etc., is great, but in library (as opposed to an app) you can't count on consumers doing that, and isinstance() checks don't support duck-typing.
There's the Hitchhiker's Guide to Python which has a lot of advice and covers best practices and/or projects over a number of big areas like web frameworks, databases, command line tools, etc.: https://docs.python-guide.org/
Lol no, 'imagining the alternative' is not science. Climate science is the study of weather and temperatures. You are thinking 'Greenhouse effect'. Just because science is not impervious to corruption by money doesn't invalidate it or the vast amounts of data gathered in support of man made climate change. As far as your [1] theory how can you claim that the atmosphere has no effect on the ability to capture the heat from the sun? The moon has no atmosphere and because of this reaches -183 degrees Celsius at night.
This is a super impressive project. Reminds me of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonebloks but it actually exists!

The earlier reply to my comment that China should stop stealing intellectual property was "This smells of hypocracy.".
Yes, and having spent many years working on browsers I am saying that if the annotations have no effect there will be code that ends up depending on the engine not performing those checks. At the point the syntax is burned because enforcing the checks breaks content.

I am unsure why you believe performing the checks is untenable if TS already does them? The runtime checks should be relatively cheap and in perf critical code if it turned out type checks were too expensive there are a bunch of optimizations engines can do, or the impacted functions could drop the annotations.

Adding a significant parsing surface, with the related page load perf impact, with the potential (im going to be generous) to burn the syntax, this seems like nothing but downside.
Even better, you can be like Johnson & Johnson and create a new crappy glove, then abuse bankruptcy laws to transfer liability to that new glove so that it becomes responsible for everything. Now you get away with committing robbery and you still get to keep your favorite glove too.
Ask HN: What's happening with Google accounts Friday?
I know something is happening with Google accounts entering a new level of security Friday. I don't know what is involved, and I've heard rumors this includes things like shutting down IMAP/POP3 access to GMail. Can someone explain, because my Googling skills, ironically, have failed and I feel like I'm hearing the results of 10 levels of signal corruption like through a game of telephone.

The only thing I'm fairly sure of is that it in some way relates to third-party apps. But I don't even know if that means people who use alternative email clients or apps who use Google OAuth2. I also heard that iPhone based accounts have a longer period of time, but that also seems possible.

Thanks.
If a meeting has an agenda and summary / minutes of what was discussed, this seems redundant. A summary doesn't take long compared to the cost of trawling through video. Also, some may speak their mind less if it's 'on record'.

If it doesn't have the above, was the meeting necessary? If something material and of substance arises, make a note of it, a note that has discoverability. What about retention policy? References in the future?

Is this to encourage people not to attend?

It seems something no sane organisation would do for the purposes of having a meeting. For marketing, for a presentation, for a demonstration, promises or interactions with a customer or supplier, recordings make sense as far as they're needed for that explicit purpose.

My 2p. Interested in use cases others may have though.

Russia-Ukraine War: What Happened March 9
My point isn't that ML will end up solving all our problems and lead to AGI. Not at all. What I'm saying is that while it's not perfect, it's still so far beyond anything symbolic AI approaches achieved in the real world that it's just silly to say that we need to "go back" to them. If you think the tesla accidents are bad now, wait until you get a car driven by a hard coded or logic based computer vision system.

With ML there is at least a path to solve way-easier-than AGI problems like maybe (semi?) autonomous cars, given enough compute and redundancy. With anything more old-school? Maybe you'd get lane detection that works on sunny days. And yeah you will be able to "debug" and prove things more easily but what's the point if there's no real way to fix the bugs if they are inherent to the flaws of symbolic approaches? If you think Ml has a problem with edge cases (and it does), keep in mind that GOFAI methods are usually not even close to be complete enough to have "edges". "the last 1% is the hardest to deal with" becomes more of a "if we can get over 60% it's a miracle"

Also, no matter how suboptimal the tesla autopilot is, I have not seen any figure that show that they do worse than humans w.r.t to fatality or accident rates. Maybe they are worse! But just the fact that they are even remotely close is not something that could've been possible even 15 years ago.

But I'd be thrilled if we get to anything better than current DL methods. Hell, it might even pull me back into the field! I just really doubt it's going to be old school symbolic or causal methods that will get us to the next big steps.
There has been work on analog computers, but analog signals create huge amounts of their own design problems from signal integrity when moving through components to the massive interference issue when putting lots of different signals in close proximity.
I made a switch from .NET to Ruby. Initially it's surely a downgrade in terms of salary and whatnot. In a long term - just about everything seems bit more sane over here. Ruby is my fav, don't mind Javascript (although I find its quirks annoying), secret crush on C (you clog it up w/ billions of calculations and it just goes: "yeah, here you go...").

My understanding is that they are telling me it’ll irreversibly lose color over time. But I have 5 and 10 year old notes that are still fine, so I’m not sure I believe that.

Pilot also updates the formula so a frixion bought today has much better colors than one bought 10 years ago
I spent several years learning and using Haskell professionally and I have to say it was a waste. Almost nothing has carried over to what companies use or want day to day, nor did it really help me to understand computers at a deeper level Erlang taught me about concurrency patterns which are actually useful in the real world, C/Rust taught me the abstractions presented by the hardware, locking, etc. but Haskell taught me something completely irrelevant to furthering my career or my skill as a software engineer.

I think that it’s an interesting side hustle and if people enjoy playing with it more power to them, but most of Haskell is driven by language enthusiasts and researchers who have no eye for practicality. Everything is done for its own sake, such as whether something can be done through derivation via HKTs etc. A lot of it comes down to it being an excuse to play with math rather than write programs. The way that it’s oversold as the solution to all bugs is based on an understanding of society that doesn’t match with reality, nor the needs of the modern programmer.

So what is an IO Monad? It’s a clever trap to get you to spend your time getting a poor man’s degree in category theory when you could be studying how computers really work.
I'm hoping at this point that the only re-entrance back to Russia is after a major political shift "away" from Putin
Not to quote taco girl too overly much; but how about both?

Algorithms require input to give you output, right? So even if you are correct that badly created algoritms are to blame, we still have the people who fall for the algorithms outputs because they are feeding it the inputs.

To put it simply, it all goes back to the calculator/computer quote in regard to their users. They are only as smart as the person using them.

So, from that point of view; there are a lot of really dumb users on the internet.

Hi, thanks. Honestly.. I haven't compared. I've built this as a passion project not as a "product" with a product/market fit or competitive landscape in mind. I mean there are already so many engines out there that you can't even give them away for free. So i built it with the features that i had in mind and what i have needed for my demos and what i need for my games.
You know. I was actually quite annoyed ( to say the least ) with the post. For one the post is lacking a date, and you have to search yourself it was published in April 2017. And without a date the article is completely lacking context because Guetzli [1] hasn't been worked on for 5 years. And as [2] mentioned its work and derivative was ultimately merged into JPEG XL, which is a very decent image format. ( People should definitely check out JPEG XL if it is not on your radar yet )

But then I notice it was Dan luu who submitted it, which likely means there must be something much deeper than is what is shown on the surface. So what is the context here ?

What it's saying is that the shell command `cat v | cmd` is equivalent to `cmd < v`--if you look carefully, the 'is' is in a different typeface (a serif font) than the commands (monospace).
To me the issue is that Apple's browser is outdated and missing modern features. On top of that, I can't just put new apps on it because it's no longer supported on the App Store, and I'm not going to pay for a developer license (and a Mac) just to run whatever I want on it.

For example one of the uses I'd like to do would be to repurpose it as a smart home display with my Home Assistant setup. Problem is the web interface uses features that the browser doesn't support. The suggestions on HA forums is to run a better browser remotely and use the iPad as a dumb display: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/options-for-lovelace-o...

This is why I'm for the bills to force Apple to allow 'sideloading'. Even with jailbreaking, I haven't seen an effort to make an alternative browser engine run on iOS, and my device is further hampered by it being an older 32-bit processor that Apple no longer support.

Even if those laws do pass, I doubt they'd update my old iPad. What I'll probably end up doing instead is ripping the display out and hooking it up to a HDMI controller board, and then connecting a Raspberry Pi to that.
