Working from home has immensely increased the value of the lunch hour and my afternoon productivity. Spending an hour in my home, whether in the kitchen or just relaxing, recharges me in ways that sitting in the company cafeteria or in my cube never could. Even when I worked at jobs that had a nice park nearby, it simply didn't compare to the decompression and mind clearing that I get from a midday hour at home. Six hours in an office would easily collide with my point of declining productivity but at home I'm still going good at the end of the day.

This is of course dependent on each individual's needs and circumstances. My manager has three kids that need feeding at lunchtime for several weeks at the end of and beginning of the school year because his wife is an assistant principal so the kids get a longer summer break than she does. He seems a bit frazzled after lunch during those periods.

Not speaking for coolwulf obviously but I can perhaps shed some light.

Screening breast mammo has an occurrence rate problme. Something like less than 10 in 1000 studies will require further review; this means in practice as a radiologist you look at a lot of negative films before seeing a TP. It also means a typical read is done fast. Seconds-to-small minutes.

This results in a couple of things. Reader variability based on experience/throughput, and false negatives. There were some double reader studies that caught something like 15% (going from memory here) of FN - but nobody can affort to have two radiologists read everything.

So the profession is already conceptually used to the idea of using an algorithm as a "second read" and reconsidering. Typically this won't "overturn" anything here but rather say 'hey have another look', but the decision to proceed or not is still the clinicians. Having a positive from the algorithm makes them review carefully, but you have to watch the FP rate here or nobody would get anything else done.

I have heard of health systems using algorithms as a first pass too (i.e. radiologist only see films that have had a postive in a tuned-to-be-senstive version), but that has it's own set of issues.
They also evolved from the original Airline Control Program (ACP), which was written in the 1960's, at which point assembly was pretty much the only way to get the level of performance required. I think there was some incidental "vendor lock-in", given that IBM was so dominant in the mainframe space for so long, but I think the more relevant principle is "conceptual lock-in", kind of like why banks still rely on COBOL. There was such a large investment in assembly that rewrites into higher level languages -- and we did consider them -- were prohibitively expensive.
CICO is nonsense not in the sense that it's wrong, but because it's useless. It implies that the solution to obesity is either eating less or working out more. However, both of these do not work for vast majority of people. Diets for example fail for 98% of people over 1 year of dieting.

If people, try to eat less their body gets unhappy -- it starts to burn less calories. Furthermore, it starts ramping up your hunger trying to convince you that you are starving. Over a year it typically wins.

The big crypto exchanges are currently acting as a sort of unofficial federal reserve. None of the big players has an interest in seeing USDT collapse and will step in to bail it out at the first signs of trouble.

I'm not saying that Tether the company is not shady. They should definitely be more transparent about what assets they are holding and their collateralization, but I think the risks of total collapse are largely overblown.
Are you unfamiliar with Khan academy? I thought it was pretty famous.

Free, high-quality lessons/education is pretty much their mission statement.
I suppose “write your representatives”? This is an area with reforms actively being proposed, and it feels like banning this stuff is inside the Overton Window.

Heyo, one of the Mito creators here. Thanks for sharing Datasette. I haven't seen that one before. It looks neat!

You're right though, there are several tools that fit the general shape of: GUI on top of Jupyter on top of Python. There's a few general vectors to understand these tools by:

1. Excel-ness: Although most (if not all) of these tools incorporate some type of spreadsheet, the interface for interacting with the data in that spreadsheet differs greatly. Some tools, like Bamboolib [1] and Datasette [2] resemble Excel only in the spreadsheet. Other tools, like Mito [3], stick to a lot of the other Excel design decisions -- things like having a toolbar with buttons and menu items to access functionality, the ability to write spreadsheet formulas inside of the cell & formula bar, etc. In many ways, this Excel-ness design vector is a proxy for how easy it is to get started with the tool. What we see, is that users are able to download Mito and get something useful out their first analysis because the interface is one that they are used to!

2. Ownership of your analysis / lack of lockin: We believe that the most powerful low-code spreadsheet tools allow spreadsheet users to easily transition to full programming languages, if they want to. Instead oflocking users into a limited and proprietary product, it's better if users can transition to a full programming language (like Python) very naturally. This transition is super natural in Mito because we generate Python code for every edit that a user makes. So if Mito doesn't support the exact transformation that you want, you can use Mito as a starting point for your analysis and customize the script that Mito generates.

Yeah, this was very intentional. Because this is HN, I'll say some things that greps usually support that ripgrep doesn't:

1) greps support POSIX-compatible regexes, which come in two flavors: BREs and EREs. BREs permit back-references and have different escaping rules that tend to be convenient in some cases. For example, in BREs, '+' is just a literal plus-sign but '\+' is a regex meta character that means "match one or more times." In EREs, the meanings are flipped. POSIX compatible regexes also use "leftmost longest" where as ripgrep uses "leftmost first." For example, 'sam|samwise' will match 'sam' in 'samwise' in "leftmost first," but will match 'samwise' in "leftmost longest."

2) greps have POSIX locale support. ripgrep intentionally just has broad Unicode support and ignores POSIX locales completely.

3) ripgrep doesn't have "equivalence classes." For example, `echo 'pokémon' | grep 'pok[[=e=]]mon'` matches.

4) grep conforms to a standard---POSIX---where as ripgrep doesn't. That means you can (in theory) have multiple distinct implementations that all behave the same. (Although, in practice, this is somewhat rare because some implementations add a lot of extra features and it's not always obvious when you use something that is beyond what POSIX itself strictly supports.)

I think that probably covers it, although this is all off the cuff. I might be forgetting something. I suppose the main other things are some flag incompatibilities. For example, grep has '-h' as short for '--no-filename'. Also, since ripgrep does recursive search by default, there are no -r/-R flags. Instead, -r does replacements and -R is unused. -L is used for following symlinks (like 'find').
I don't use `fd` on the command line because I have very ingrained `find` muscle memory, but it's really made using `projectile-find-file` in Emacs totally usable with the huge monorepos I deal with at work. The same goes for `rg`, I love using it with `consult-ripgrep` in Emacs for searching through mountains of code.
The whole day ticket actually costs 8.20€, the after 9am ticket 6.90€ (for the zones AB / city area)

If you're commuting and have monthly ticket it will cost 93.70€ (AB), though you might get around with a cheaper ticket if you're living in the center (zone 000).

Precisely. Every barrier in place between using a system and programming it serves to elevate the decisions of its designers over those of its users. The greatest power of computers is their ability to be reshaped to meet whatever need the user has, but we mostly lock that power away from them.
In 1975, my high school's "Independent Science Study" class took a field trip to the Crerar Library at the U of Chicago[1]. In the stacks was a paper on AI that changed my life[2].

It was a 3 hour drive, each way. Now it takes 3 seconds.

You are underestimating the abilities of “efficiencies”-driven I.T. management.
Here is my issue with all of this. It very clearly states on tesla's website that "Navigate on Autopilot is designed to get you to your destination more efficiently by actively guiding you from on-ramp to off-ramp, including suggesting lane changes, navigating motorway interchanges, and assist in taking exits."[0]

Its unclear which autopilot features the driver thought he had, but if believed he had purchased the "Enhanced autopilot" and that it was enabled wouldnt that mean the Tesla's system failed here? The intersection in question is at the end of a freeway[1] which would constitute an exit.

I do agree with most that the driver is partly to blame, but probably not as a felony manslaughter. Tesla on the other hand should be held criminally responsible since at best they are misleading customers into believing their car has features it doesn't and at worst they are claiming a level of system reliability in their product that just does not exist (something I would classify as gross negligence on their part).

My father has one of these cars with the enhanced self-driving enabled, and I am always gripped in mild terror whenever I ride with him, regardless of whether it is the car or my father who is driving...

We travel a lot. Experiencing different cultures and landscapes never gets old for us. My wife will take her laptop because she’d miss her work, I won’t :)
Musk is not old. Obviously he wanted easy A (hey, it was RIGHT there), but a man of his position could drop by any hotel bar and score with a stranger. Whenever he wanted to.

Not really.

Mine? No. You want a title to go with that house ? Well then, yeah, there are some third parties whose opinions matter.
My first dev job used Forth (with inline assembly) on Z80-class CPUs for SCADA applications.

I'd claw my eyes out if I had to write entire applications in assembly.
Did you offer to pay for the MRI cash (roughly $5k I would bet)?

Because to me this sounds more like "your insurance won't pay for it because it is not an indicated study by ACR criteria."

I hear that spending hours on the phone trying to justify a test to an insurance company is no fun, and I bet the task is not made any easier if you don't actually believe that the study will help the patient.
> even at extra cost (e.g. you choose to get a cup of coffee and a sandwich in a restaurant nearby).

That's the pessimist's view. The optimist wanders around and randomly finds a place they would never have found otherwise. I mostly do the first. Sometimes I find something truly interesting. Sometimes not, but I don't think the unproductivity you mention has harmed me. (Yes, occasionally I absolutely have to hack something, so I search the first place where I can use my laptop. But I try to avoid that in all but the most familiar cities.)
That's exactly what Boeing said too.
