> guilty of spreading fake news, in an update to the "Hippocratic Oath"

Yeah, that is probably quite the "update"...

After the scare about fake news everyone can be sure that medicine overall became much less trustworthy and this is not due to internet comments.

> also say doctors must speak out if they encounter “toxic” workplace cultures that threaten patient safety.

Hey, did they copy from another script somewhere? I think the working conditions in some hospitals could qualify here but I really doubt that this council is too interested in helping employees here.
I hope this happens, web3 and all of this needs to end very soon.
But priors are not *just* numbers between 0 and 1, as GP claimed.

It is true that in your example, the outcome is binary: there is only a single proposition (the coin landed heads). And so the prior distribution is a Bernoulli distribution, but I would agree you could think of this prior as a single number between 0 and 1.

But in such a scenario, the only possibilities for updating beliefs based on evidence is to observe heads, then update the posterior to P(Heads)=100%, or observe tails, then update posterior to P(Heads)=0%. I might say that this is updating your beliefs based on evidence, but only trivially so.

If you observe heads and form a posterior of P(Heads)=99.999%, then it means that your prior probability distribution was more complex: it included the possibility that "the coin landed heads but I mistakenly observed tails". In this case, your priors include a family of propositions, not a single number.

In GPs example, the prior included the possibility that the coin was magnetic, etc. So it could not be represented by a single number.
I had this thought in my mind too - just with a few "modern" things I grew use to and it would be perfect (I am thinking application switching and maximizing windows). Without Nextstep, Copland was going to be the long-term answer and I remember looking forward to that, with how many system crashes there were.
Honestly, the best guidance is just "put more than 2 seconds effort into your commits". No one really believes "More code" is a good commit message, it's just laziness. So yeah, put a little effort in, it's literally one of the few parts of your work that will remain once you are gone. Most code I've worked on gets replaced/updated/modified after I'm done working on it - but the one thing that I know will stay is the git history that some poor bastard will have to search through to figure out why this random bit of code ended up this way.

The only other thing I'll say is don't be weird. I knew a guy who would prepend his commits with a [tag] saying what part of the repo his commit was touching. This was a mixed sw/hw project and every single commit of his started with [sw]. It's like, ok thanks, firstly, you're a software engineer working the ../sw/ folder, secondly no one was confused that your 17 changes to a C++ file were going to be a hardware change.
There was an essay recently on HN on the merits of individual tutoring for children, in the spirit of Renaissance aristocrat education (not the exam-prep style tutoring that is common today). Projects like Khan Academy could make this extremely resource-intensive style of education a bit more accessible (not on their own maybe, but as a building block).

Edit: PS: just remembered, if there were orgs like Khan or other leaders in online learning that managed to become accredited by established programs like the International Baccalaureate, that could be very interesting for students, as it offers practically universal global recognition (as well as a very well-regarded curriculum).
It does feel like a GPT-3 bot. I tried testing the GPT3-Davinci model with similar prompts and I get 3 to 5 of the same 10 recommendations.

I would argue that the fundamental problem is that the companies selling software "engineering" products do not actually take any responsibility that the product they have engineered works as intended. (see: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/car-balk/ )

And of course, the main reason they do not take the responsibility is that the customers won't pay for it.

It is kind of interesting. We are very good at making bridges that do not fail unexpectedly, even if there is unlimited amount of unknown failure modes when working with physical materials. And on the software side, well, managing to come up with a fizzbuzz without failure modes is used to screen people on interviews. What would be similar for bridge engineers? Here is a hammer, nail and two pieces of wood. Can you make the two pieces of wood stick together?
Was this Railroad Tycoon? I never played it, just sounds like what you are describing.
I'd be interested to know how quickly that runs natively on your mac.
We have proof of the contrary. There is quite a lot of reports about ppl killing their partners (children, family) when abandoned and then committing suicide. I'm not saying that you should not stand your ground, I'm just saying that your are making dangerous assumptions, some ppl can be irrational or just overwhelmed with emotions. With micro-scale MAD 2 ppl die, with a large scale one you just need 1 person go crazy and it's over.
TBH I'd never believe that the real reason for avoiding ww3 was MAD.
Why do people mention so often about js being disabled? It’s such an insignificant use case imho. Ssr(in js world) is mostly for public pages who get scanned by search bots, right?
Hi @qudat, first of all, this is an awesome work! I've tried ssh and scp successfully, but my blog is still empty. Would you mind checking it? Really appreciate it, thank you!

Sometimes they'll need formulas they don't understand (can't motivate) for doing work things?

Then what? Are they going to incorrectly use anther one, a wrong one, because they understand it better?

(Searching not where one lost the key, but where the light is stronger)

Hmm, I wonder if you studied stats? It sounds as if you studied lots of math.

I did long ago, mostly forgotten, and, hmm, I don't think there's a single real life useful probability function one can understand, without knowing the underlying calculus? Except for understanding in the sense of trusting the teacher.

Which works pretty ok in medicine
I'm not dismissing their effort, on the contrary! It's commendable, but they're still way off, and would probably need years of work. A fully fledged browser is a monumental undertaking.

Mozilla.. basically they're lingering on due to Google's fear of having the only browser available and the scrutiny associated. Ideally Firefox should be funded by public funds ( like thr EU donating money to FOSS projects they use like VLC, 7 Zip, etc.). But if a browser company at it for a long time can barely survive while also having a browser that's not "fully featured"... and Microsoft, with their infinite pockets, also abandoned theirs... what hope is there for anyone succeeding at it? And make no mistake, for any browser to succeed it would need the full feature set of Chromium.
I hope web pages are never removed from servers on the basis of last modified date!

I wonder what is the etiquette for devs in their update notes, when there's no other change except this pulse update? Describe it accurately or slap a generic 'bug fixes' label on?

Photons have no identities (they are exchangeable), the fact that you need to mark them (to differentiate a random one from an entangled one) is a consequence of your choice of model (QM) that you need to keep track for the computation. Field theories are not subject to such constraints.

You can interfere a photon with its entangled photon. You can interfere it with itself too. As soon as your first photon get absorbed, in your calculations about the second photon you incorporate the new information you got about the first, and you update your probability distribution accordingly (but that's not a physical process it's just your way of computing the probability).

When the first photon is absorbed the second is not necessarily so and he can go its merry way. (If you use the information you gain from the observation of the first photon about its polarization, and you have set-up your experiment so that you have time to orient a polarizer in the right orientation so that your photon can pass, you can catch the second photon 100% of the time).

There have been tons of experiments, where you entangle the photons n-way, split them multiple times, and interfere them in various ways.

Feynman propagator conserve various quantities allows you to evolve your probability distributions forward and backward in time. When you compute the conditional probabilities that correspond to your observations, you can shift them all back to the same instant where the entangled pair was produced.

You can't expect to change conserved quantities, because they are continuously conserved.
For quantities that are not subject to specific conservation law like for example the time of detection of the photon, you can compute correlations, but there are also subject to conservation of information.

You could also theoretically imagine experiments where you entangle photons and have them interact with entangled pairs of electrons. But it's more for the intellectual pleasure of trying to do complex calculations correctly.

Personal unorthodox conviction : It's not the way the universe does the computation. The universe has its (finite) configuration it is in which is continuously (and locally) evolved through time, but which as an observer inside the universe you can't have access to (think of it like the seed of a random number generator). It doesn't need the results of your experiments to evolve through time. The way you can compute the same way the universe does is through Monte-Carlo simulations of the joint probability, but from inside the universe you have to generate a lot of (possibly infinite) candidate trajectories (aka possible universes) and do the sum (or filter to match the observation to the universe you are in).
Some providers, I suspect gmail here, have new requirements for e-mail. SPF entries, using DKIM to sign mails perhaps.

I don't recommend actually following these guidelines to the whims of Google although it might be good practice for some applications. But this is again not against spam, there are other interests involved here and not necessarily to the interest of the users and the mechanism can be used to make email exclusive overall.

If it is just a spam filter, you might want to include some personal information although the filters have become far more aggressive because they had to. Scammers already use personalized info to send out fake mails. If you have a customer where this happened perhaps ask their IT what methods they are using. Perhaps adjusting the mail for a popular methods of spam filtering can solve the problem.
signing up with an email is optional but you need to enter a valid one ? :)

I'm not sure about your example - "black" and "African American" are still perfectly acceptable terms, or did I miss something?

Regardless, it may be the case that a permanent state of euphemism treadmilling does solve a problem - a social signal, perhaps, to distinguish those who embrace social change and those who resist it. It's pretty effective at that too.

> Something like an extension of email, without instances acting as gatekeepers

Email has "instances" that act as gatekeepers. Gmail is one, Outlook is another, Fastmail is...

They are both federated systems and on these systems (email, fediverse, matrix, xmpp...) end users have accounts on servers that then connect between themselves to create the whole network.

The only difference is the underlying protocol and/or the main purpose.
I love how you bring up diplomacy. It brings up all kinds of associations, good old Clausewitz not being the least of them when you consider what else happens at schools.
> Competition in the natural world is typically zero sum.

Evolution itself can be seen as a positive sum. Without it, even single-celled organisms would not exist.

Evolution, through natural selection, can be seen as driven by competion between pieces of information (genes), much more than it is competition between individuals. (all individuals die eventually, so for them the game may be zero sum).

Similarily, competition within human culture also produce positive (or in some cases negative) sum effects that need to be closely tied to individuals, but more often to memes/ideas (and sometimes, still, genes).

When Henry Ford introduced the assembly line, he did benefit personally (some of the profit was spent on introducing a minimum wage and 5 day work week), but soon, competition would force everyone to use the same idea.

Depending on your point of view, this can be seen as positive sum (increased productivity, less work) or negative (fewer and more boring jobs in manufacturing).
> The problem is lack of alternatives. Name a single privacy preserving smart home assistant that the average person can buy, install, and use.

You are implying that all alternatives have to be "buying a smart home assistant". There is another alternative: Don't buy one. If all existing alternatives are bad, then not buying any is also a way to "vote by wallet". Then there will be a big market segment of not-having-bought-yets that can get tapped into by just coming with a privacy-preserving offering.
For the intended audience of a paper, many things are considered trivial or easy. The attitude may be harmful when teaching(if you’re unaware of what the students find trivial), but in professional communication it is a signal to the reader that they shouldn’t spend unnecessary time focusing on some (trivial or easy to verify) part of the argument.
A business? Maybe not, but certainly many a masters degree has been had doing just that.

How does this work for the reasoning you just gave? Was there some evidence that moved your priors about Bayesian reasoning from near 0 to close to 1?

Apply that to any philosophical or mathematical reasoning. Let's take an interpretation of QM. How would you assign a probability to Many Worlds Interpretation? Do you have some way of assigning your degree of belief between 0 and 1? Or are there just arguments you find more or less convincing for it?

There was a thread on here the other day about black hole information paradox and how we may never be able to test any mathematical reasoning regarding what happens to the information inside a black hole. Can you assign a Bayesian probability to that?
Basically linux is moving from a hobbyist operating system that a single person can reasonably manage in their spare time to an enterprise ish complex monstruosity that requires training and a time investment. Probably because the main Linux sponsors have found that it's the only way to make money with it.

SELinux... systemd... who knows what's coming next.

Let's not forget ipv6, although that's not a linux specific problem.

Edit: went through the discussions and it appears that all defenders of SELinux have used it in a paid professional context where it's justified to have a tight security polities. Hobbyists can't afford that time investment.

Risk of colliding with stalactites was the problem, as well colliding and communicating with each other. Don't think the tech is there currently.
I would expect that any modern insulin pump is required to be protected very thoroughly against random malfunctions. Some certification authorities seem to require IEC 61508 (functional safety) as a prerequisite for IEC 60601 (safety of medical equipment). IEC 61508 kind of requires self-monitoring against malfunctions in a reliable way. This includes mechanisms for detecting random bit flips if these can cause potential harm.

Are they dumbing down the curriculum to promote equality?
Something involving a web server, a websocket (ws) server acting as a switch or repeater, a emulator specific websocket client to act as a network adaptor. Each emulator would then send packets via websocket to the ws server which would then send to the other connected ws clients. All the ws would be abstracted behind the emulated network adapter.

That would give you enough to let a bunch of Bolo addicts go to the same site and play multiplayer. It would also let them share files amongst those emulators.

But that wouldn't necessarily let any of them talk to an appletalk server near the server, eg on its real lan. For that you'd need a tuntap thing acting as a bridge or router.

That said, you probably wouldn't require that appletalk/netatalk server. As long as one emulator holds the maps or files etc you could use that as a file server. No tuntap required.

Hmmm...
I have mentioned this a number of times here on HN, but each time I'm told by other users that it just appears that way because the topic is fresh in my mind... I don't think that's the case.

Uhhhh, there is a reason why people from other places want a greencard, even if just to work at minimum wage. The 95% in the US surely are better off than the majority of people in the world?
Even if it's entirely deterministic above the quantum/micro level, that doesn't mean we can predict anything without computing the entire future world, just like in the game of life. Also, the wavefunction is deterministic, so you could in principle compute the many worlds, but that wouldn't tell us which one we will observe.
> I won't say it's easy, an employer of mine paid for two weeks of training that focused a lot specifically on this.

The F-expressions in this paper are not the same thing as FEXPRs.

This was an internal, implementation terminology. Early Lisp has EXPR and SUBR routines: SUBR were written in machine language, and EXPR were interpreted functions. So EXPR doesn't mean "expression", but "function made of expressions that require code walking evaluation, rather than a straight machine-code subroutine ("SUBR") that can be called.

The F prefix denoted functions that implemented special forms. That may be where the F comes from: FEXPR and FSUBR. These F variants receive the unevaluated forms. So COND might be implemented as a FSUBR, which interprets it: walks the cond pairs, evaluates the test expressions, and so on. Whereas CAR and CDR would be SUBRS (no "F").
AppArmour assumes everything is allowed unless it is explicitly denied by policy, SELinux assumes everything is banned unless it is allowed by policy. This makes SELinux fundamentally more secure because unlike apparmour you cant forget to deny some access that leaves you wide open, instead you forget to allow things and your app breaks. It also makes SELinux more complicated to implement because you have to allow everything you need or your app breaks whereas apparmour lets you deny the things you're worried about and ignore everything else.

SELinux also supports interesting things like applying security levels and contexts to data, so you can have data that is only accessible to appropriatly cleared users in one department but not to people with similar clearances in other departments. Very few people use this stuff though.

Selinux uses extended attributes to store its labels which is a pretty standard way of associating metadata with objects, and is supported by most standard unix commands (via the -Z flag) so I'm not sure what you mean by "filesystem hacks". Fundamentally they are both implemented as security modules in the kernel and do pretty much the same thing, which is best depends on whether the added security of SELinux is worth it to you.
