Meningiomas by chance?

Has the monitoring improved your health? I'm not sure whether I would be more or less troubled if I had symptoms with an unclear cause vs a possible cause but unclear management plan. I suppose this will be highly variable.
I’m a noob when it comes to Pokémon, I only learned to play with my kids. Seems like Pokémon alway devolves to who has the strongest (most hp, best attacks) characters. Sure there are all the special attacks, deck manipulation that can be done but it seems very shallow to me. What am I missing?
> just a matter of time before someone gets severe complications for whatever outcome your program

If you are going to indirectly call someone out for publishing code which you deem severely detrimental to human health, you better back your stuff up.

> You have a false negative? Big problem

How does one get a false negative from multi-class probabilities? There aren't any...

> you just gave someone worse treatment options (if lucky) or led to someone being diagnosed too late and potentially getting metastasized breast cancer. Those bone metastases are quite painful, you know.

An image is already checked by a doctor, before given to the patient. A "False negative" then, is simply the doctor saying they are OK, and the ML confirming this, while both missing cancer. If doctor said, not OK, then no patient will take an OK from a website and be diagnosed too late. The last sentence is needlessly spiteful. I hope I misunderstood the intent of it.

> False positives are even worse, because they are far far far more likely to happen in practice. [...] I speak from experience that this WILL lead to the patient going to the doctor, and the doctor, seeing these very strong words, might want to take a biopsy to confirm the malignancy.

If doctor says OK, but my automated second opinion says not OK, then I go back to the doctor, and the doctor will either sooth my worries, explaining why the patch is benign. This is the desired outcome for my health. Or the doctor will second-guess their diagnosis, and perform, with my permission, more thorough tests. If tests come back OK, this will sooth my worries and the doctor's worries, and all will be fine. If tests come back not OK, then the application helped save my life.

There is zero reason to believe this app will bamboozle doctors into spending 1000s of dollars over nothing.

> If the tool is not for diagnostical purposes, it's not doing a whole lot in fighting cancer as it is just a play thing then.

This does not follow. There is a significant contribution with this app for fighting and raising awareness of cancer. Low-expertise hospitals use it as a diagnostics aid. People reported getting a second opinion from this app, returning to the hospital, and finding cancer early.

> At the moment, it's more like hindering cancer by taking resources from people who need them and giving them to people who don't need them.

Yes, it really seems you are deeming this app both severely dangerous and hindering cancer research. Without any solid (ML) reasoning and plenty of non-sequiturs. I'd suggest that even if you continue to hold such views, that you apologize to a fellow researcher.

Let's talk about this part:

> Having had the extreme privilege of actually working with some really exceptionally smart people I can assure you that intelligence is a general trait without any significant extradimensionality.

This claim is not persuasive. It also may contain various logical and statistical fallacies, depending on your word meanings. If you want to persuade, I suggest that you'll need to give more context.

A. How do you define "exceptionally high intelligence"?

B. Where and in what capacity have you worked with these people?

C. How do you assess this trait?

D. What do you mean by 'crab bucket ideology'?

E. You are aware that there is considerable scientific writing arguing in support of many kinds of intelligence, no?

F. What parts of (E) do you dispute?

G. What do you mean by 'general trait'?

H. What do you mean by 'extradimensionality'?

I. What do you mean when you say your definition of intelligence "is a general trait that does not have any significant extradimensionality"?

J. WRT (I) are you saying that your definition of intelligence is not correlated nor caused by other traits?

K. Do you have a physiological or biological basis for your claim?

L. Please share sources (writing such as studies) that you find persuasive.

M. What are the chances that we are talking past each other? Do you have questions for me?
Yes, having played a bunch of both, chess is cool but poker is a better and funner bet. Only turn based game where you can make proper money if you are good enough (not to mention you can make solid and reliable money as a private game dealer). And the player pool is a much more diverse and amusing bunch of degens

Would also be happy to see my kid get into fighting games, CCGs, MOBAs, FPS games....they're all cool and fun and deep as hell
Going the opposite way, here's a story of an electrical engineering class I had in college. The class subject was a slightly off-the-main-path course, taught by a visiting professor from overseas. It involved deep analysis of electrical circuits with some heavy math. At the final exam, the first thing I noticed was how thin the exam packet was. It was a harrowing experience when I opened the exam -- it consisted of exactly one question. As it turned out, it required using nearly everything we learned during the course to solve that one question, which I thought was a fascinating if scary way to test students, as forgetting one of the methods taught could block progress.
And we can expand this out to every nation so everyone gets a nuke factory to keep the lights on. :D

It's so widely impractical.
Downvoted only because you didn't elaborate or qualify your criticism, which makes for very lame reading and adds nothing of value to the thread.

I'm trying to be nice by giving you some honest feedback, assuming you don't realize that it sucks for people to read vapid criticisms without substance.

Edit: Yes, thank you, please downvote me without saying why. Thank you! How deep does the rabbit hole go? It stings and bleeds.. lol :)

leetcode is just a skill like any other skill. If you understand the data structures / algos behind it (which are mostly CS stuff you learn in college), given enough time, you should be able to solve the problems.

It's okay if instead of doing a medium problem in 15 minutes it takes you 4 hours at first. Start solving and make a habit of doing 1-2 problems per day. In no time you're going to learn that the problems are doable and the time it takes to do a problem will go down a lot. When you can do an easy in 10 minutes and a medium in 15-20 min you're ready. I have rarely seen hard questions in an interview.

Also the more senior you are, the more the emphasis is going to be on system design and behavioural.

Yes, it's stupid. It is what it is. You know what is going to happen, you prepare for it, you get the job.
Will HP also officially support the upstream Ubuntu distribution for this laptop series?

I enjoy System76's option to skip Pop_OS and use a more well known Linux implementation. Less guesswork when troubleshooting any problems.

There is no asset limitation for participation in HUD assisted-housing programs.

What you’re describing is true for many assistance programs, including snap, for example… but not section 8 as far as I understand.
I doubt that Pike was on the Go designers' radars - but to me personally, it certainly feels so. Go is now my favorite language.

Who knows though, the Pike language's main creator has been at Google since well before Go got started.
Start building things. Volunteer for open source projects. Make some pet projects.

Go to meet-ups, join mailing lists/discords, network. Get hired for minimum wage on very small projects (but make sure somebody pays the taxes). Add them to your resume. Get contracting gigs (contractors rarely have to pass the scrutiny full-timers do). Join a startup.

FAANG may not hire you on these alone, but I would, and so would many others. We want to see that you can build something, and we want to see you have made lots of mistakes and learned lots of lessons. After you have proven yourself, you don't need to do leetcode. Then you just have to worry about the rest of the interview...
My favorite one is the process of moving between states on medicaid.

My parents wanted to retire another state. My aunt needed to come with them because they handle a large amount of her care. She was unable to apply for medicaid in the new state until dropping medicaid in the old state but there was no guarantee that she'd get medicaid in the new state. So moving was incredibly perilous.
The evidence is the stonework and the dietary requirements of doing that sort of labor.

> Or three, they can go somewhere that has rules more to their liking. This isn't a prison; they can leave any time they choose.

That's an illusion of choice, though. There isn't any unclaimed, habitable land anymore. If your views don't align with any of the 195 existing countries, then this isn't actually an option. It's just 1 or 2, but in a different location.

You can't be an anarchist, ever. There's nowhere to do it. If you want to live somewhere that pledges itself as a Christian theocracy, you better hope you're Catholic. Ditto for most religions, really. Or if you want to live in a sovereign entity with the population of a small town.

The options are really just "suck it up" or "spend your whole life trying to change it". I'm genuinely curious what the sovereign citizens would do if they were allowed to secede any land they own. It's not for me, but I am curious whether they'd actually leave or if they just don't want to follow the rules.

We're in an uncanny valley in medicine right now where it is good enough to give the impression that we have more control over human health than we actually do.

More and more, the general public has come to see medicine as the Genius Bar service department for the human body. Everything that can be fixed, should be fixed. Let's get this thing back to like-new condition as we can, right?

But in reality, medicine is still much closer to the older model of simply seeking to reduce human suffering. You will die of something one day and most likely you will have 8 other things wrong with you when it happens. Curing all cancer in all humans would only at about 2 years of average increased lifespan because of all the other causes of death that are creeping up right behind it in the background.

So there is a tension here of what medicine should conceptually be doing. If, in the effort to "fix everything" (which is impossible), you actually introduce more suffering (by treating a diagnostic finding that may never have resulted in symptomatic disease), then many would say that's a failure of medicine.

Why not both?

Chess teaches "Deep" thinking about complex problems, which is useful particularly with programming. Much of my day is spent in deep complex problems.

Poker teaches quick calculation, negotiation, bluffing, and reading other's motives, which is useful for everything else in the world.
You are right. The problem is not solving the question, but solving it in 15 minutes with the optimal algo/data structure. Practicing can easily get you there. Also. In the grand scheme of things it's nothing compared to the job/comp bump.

Ahhh! Now I know what this style of interview is called! Thanks for explaining what the heck was going on in some of the interviews I went through in the last few years. Since 2005 spent a long time at 2 companies and then went self-employed 6 years ago. When getting back into full-time employment around 2019, I had a couple really weird interviews where they gave me some intense timed puzzle solving "games", and then brushed me off. I was so confused because it had no relevance to any of the web development work I had done, ever, in my years of career experience, and it was super stressful.

I thought these hiring managers were insane. I get it now. I think code tests are fine, but timed puzzles just don't tell anyone much about any dev's ability to assemble features out of higher-level tools.
Since we can ask you anything: If you're comfortable with sharing, what about your disability makes it difficult to do a tech job?

Right out of school I lost $300 playing poker at a casino and it stung for years.

It stings a lot less now thinking of my MtG, Pokemon, and Hearthstone spending.
One of the worst things about poker IMO is that everyone unnecessarily links it with gambling.

It's one of my favorite games to play with friends and money is never, ever involved. You just play to win as many games as possible.

I feel like a lot of people miss out on a very fun game simply because they don't want to gamble and can't imagine playing without doing so.
Yes because then you'll understand 99.9% of the industry is fraudulent. If you don't get there yet then keep studying
Ironically, this system resulted in lots of insecurity.

Password resets were so common the govt agency OUTSOURCED them - and you just had to provide your username to get it reset. Literally, you called and said I need a password reset for account X, and they gave you a temp password over the phone.

I never complained about how easy this was because this was a CRITICAL feature. Sometimes we didn't even know why a password wasn't working - so after you got done with whatever client came in you called the number and got a new one.

So it's really security theatre + the security provided by the massive annoyance of setting up old internet explorer to login and all the other silliness (which really was security, we were not alone in struggles, they kept on having to do paper backup systems when stuff went down).

I often thought that a hacker could probably make all our lives easier by figuring out a way around the double VPN.

This was a long time ago though (10+ years) and I have to believe better now.

Did Elon Musk get played in the Twitter deal?
Gab was Mastodon backend with a Soapbox frontend - Truth Social is the same, by the way.

But in both cases, Mastodon was just used because it was the most mature software, not because of its federation capabilities or even the user base culture. Gab barely was part of federation. At first, they were blocked. After, they got out by themselves. Truth Social is not even available outside of the US, much less federating with anything else.
The element in poker that tends to be missing in chess is the side bet on the outcome of a game and the various ways the probabilities of winning/losing are calculated (with respect to winning the bet, not game outcome itself).

Ideally, if chess was 'solved' like checkers reportedly has been, then the superior chess engine would win the match and betting on the outcome would be a meaningless activity.

Poker remains interesting because the ability to guess the opponent's position hasn't been 'solved' by AI algorithms. If a poker player's position could be read by AI interpretation of facial expressions, body language, etc. I imagine casinos would be all over this.

The real Turing Test question is, can AI simulate players in D&D games well enough to fool human participants?

I think I've made that clear. Where else in the world has a hunter-gatherer lifestyle afforded the caloric surplus necessary to do this much manual labor?
Yes. Yes, it's frustrating some times, but the cool thing is that if you play against an experienced played that deck is only gonna get you so far.
Also, there are many archetypes and to get a deck that can be competitive against all is pretty hard.

+ I also enjoy events where you build your deck on the fly from boosters. Those are definitely a lot of fun.
I didn't get that stock was part of that equation. I took it as base salary. SV is an outlier, really wish people would stop talking as though that's a universal amount, and that if you don't make that amount then you're not senior. I lived in SV and it's a disgustingly money-oriented culture.
I don't think PragmaticPulp is saying anything about requiring people to rent before getting a house. Just that the purpose of section 8 housing is to help people who can't afford rents. If someone is saving for a house, I think that's a sign that that person can afford rents, and therefore isn't the target for section 8 housing.

Looks good. One critique I have is the slide-to-right animation with the chart. It's jarring. Animating the actual line from left to right or just letting the chart load in place would be better.
I'm curious why you're skeptical... is there some reason why you don't think the most likely explanation is that there is a community of experts who are legitimately concerned?

I've heard the exact same sentiment as yours about a lot of things... Climate Change being the main one that comes to mind. Do you feel the same way about all the "opinions" in the media recently, and are you skeptical of the attention it's getting?

I realize that I may sound glib, here, but I am legitimately trying to understand your thought process, and assess whether you have a broader tendency toward suspecting a conspiracy behind a cluster of news stories.
