Any sort of treatment is invasive. Almost all form of medical treatment has side effects and risks.

Finding out you have "cancer" is traumatic and extremely emotional, though breast cancer is one of the most survivable (in part because, well, everyone loves boobs. Prostate cancer, on the other hand...)

Putting these tools in the hands of medical professionals is one thing. Putting them in the hands of the general public is beyond irresponsible.

People physically assaulted doctors and nurses for not being given ivermectin; imagine how insufferable people will get when some website examined their mammogram and said they have cancer.
All magic wormhole is doing is agreeing a key, and then moving the encrypted data over TCP between sender and recipient.

So for a non-trivial file this is in principle subject to the same performance considerations as any other file transfer over TCP.

For a very tiny file, you'll be dominated by the overhead of the setup.

I'm someone with a lot of YOE but couldn't reverse a linked list when asked in an interview (why would you want to do that? I remember thinking). After a few years on competitions and LC, I'm decent enough to usually pass LC style interviews. I think I actually learned a lot by doing this, and it has improved my coding skill.
But pure carbon is somewhat reactive, so maybe it could be cleaned by the body. Is it not?
To elaborate a little further:

The attack this device implements requires you to have a run of known plaintext and its corresponding ciphertext, with correct alignment between the two.

The bombe searches for keying configurations that could have produced that encipherment. When you find one, you can go test if it decrypts the rest of the message into german or gibberish.
Those borders didn't exist at the time the "ancient civilization" was constructed. So what's the point?

I believe this can change if we change the amount of patients a physician must assess and treat in a given time period. Because that would be super costly (way more physicians required on staff) Nurse Practitioners and PAs would be a more cost effective way to delve into important and relevant information that takes time to uncover.

The answer is actually quite simple.

The democrats in office simply do not represent their constituents. The democrat-voting population is farther left than the democrat politicians. However, outside of the more radical democrats like Sanders and AOC, most democrats have been bought by the wealthy just like the republicans.

Not exactly for fun, but sort of: frivolously, needlessly, and with an arms race dynamic: Put in 1000x more energy, and you get - exactly the same result, because the algorithm adjusted the Proof of Waste to make it 1000x more wasteful.
> The Bolshevik’s set this in stone towards the end of the civil war...

I'm not sure about the events that you're referring to. The Treaty of Riga was in 1921, the Anglo-Soviet Trade Agreement was signed in 1921 as well, the USSR was only declared in 1922, and the UK recognized it in 1924, the same year in which Lenin died. In fact, related to the Trade Agreement he complained:

> The British government has handed us its draft, we have given our counterdraft, but it is still obvious that the British government is dragging its feet over the agreement because the reactionary war party is still hard at work there

So, I don't think it's fair to assume that it was only the UK who wanted normalized relations, and that the difficulties came from only one side.

> taking Eastern Europe sealed the deal

Which again, seems out of place, since I presume you're referring to events that followed the start of WW2.

Talking about WW2, Europe wasn't friendly to the USSR leading up to war:

The initial anti-comintern treaty in 1935 was extended to the United Kingdom, Italy, Poland and China (ruled by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek).

In 1939, Stalin offered to Britain and France to deploy a million troops against Nazi Germany, but he had been rebuffed:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/322...

and of course, Churchill's Operation Unthinkable means that Britan had a deep, deep distrust of the USSR.

Despite all this, the USSR asked to join NATO in 1954, but again: it had been rebuffed, along its proposals of reunification and neutrality for Germany.

We often forget about all this, and only think of the reasons for why we distrusted the USSR, but we ignore all of the opportunities that we missed for a friendlier relationship.

Hey this is cool, I do the NYT Crossword every day. A few questions.

1. You mention an 82% solve rate. The NYT puzzle gets "harder" each day Monday through Saturday. Do you track the days separately? If so I'd be curious how much of the 18% unsolved end up on Fridays and Saturday. (for anyone who doesn't know the Sunday puzzle is outside of the M-Sat range since its a bigger puzzle).

2. Related to the above Thursday puzzles usually have "tricks" (skipped letters and what not) in them or require a Rebus (multiple letters in one space) - do you handle these at all?

3. Is this building an ongoing model and getting better at solving? Or did you have to seed it with a set of solved puzzles and clues?

Sorry didn't have time to read the whole paper.
> The point is not whether people need to learn algorithms

No, I said design and analyze algorithms, which is a distinct skill from "learn algorithms" (although that certainly helps). And which is certainly very riddle-like.
Phase-out is the key that's missing from so many assistance programs. It's the same with Medicaid, which really discourages you from taking that next step up to a slightly better-paying job, especially if you have a chronic health condition.

Advancing your career in a way that should gradually decrease your dependance on government assistance instead cuts it off all at once, turning a raise into a massive pay cut, thus ensuring you don't climb the ladder and stay dependent on aid indefinitely. It's utterly perverse.

> If they had $48,000 in the bank it wouldn't meaningfully effect their need. In fact making them spend down everything they have before helping them is pretty stupid it renders their life very fragile and less likely to be stable long term and doesn't even save much money.

It's one thing to give someone benefits to support their person, it's another to give them benefits to support their person AND their existing savings. It's pretty natural to be less generous to someone who already has the money to pay for what they're asking you to pay for.

You're not going to get "sane solutions" with that attitude. You're going to get people to feel good about ignoring your ideas because you insulted them.

> The people who do manage to crack these rounds are not necessarily good at programming either because the time they spent doing competitive programming stuff should have been spent learning to build actual things.

I disagree with this, with a disclaimer that I enjoyed competitive programming since before I knew of leetcode's existence.

That said, salaries for SWEs are increasingly becoming bimodal. You can have a fulfilling career without having to do Leetcode-style interviews. Or you can have a go at grinding Leetcode for a few weeks and have a higher salary for the rest od your career - a much greater RoI than a 4-year degree, IMO. Framed differently: would you grind leetcode for $100,000?[1] How about for $100,000 every year going forward?

There are no wrong answers, for some, the answer is "no", and they have my respect.

Actually, when the Earth was formed, it contained a non-negligible quantity of plutonium (supernovae produce all the elements until Z=100, much over the Z=94 of plutonium, but the heavier elements had already decayed before the interstellar dust reached the nascent Solar System).

Because the longest-lived isotope of plutonium has a half-life close to 100 million years, so some 45 halvings have happened since the Earth formation, almost all primordial plutonium has decayed by now.

A few atoms of the primordial plutonium are still around us, though they are much too few to be easily detectable (there have been claims that some very sensitive experiments have detected them).
They do have the ability to pass general bills without Republican support, actually. They can pass a separate bill to suspend the filibuster on another bill, and suspending the filibuster only requires the 50 Democrat Senators and the VP.

The information would have to be transcribed to the EMR, but otherwise many practitioners use written notes to fill the gap until they can document in EMR. I've also worked in facilities where certain medical paperwork was only kept in paper form and never uploaded to EMR, which I thought was insane when it comes to the concerns you've mentioned.
They realized that the investigative journalism type of news was too costly and produced smaller returns compared to this type of lifestyle "news". In addition, a lot of investigative journalism cannot even be reported on anymore because of their newly acquired woke bias. The NY times used to be a centrist/moderate source of news, but now wokeism has taken over and it's really not the same credible publication it was 30 years ago.

For comparison, the federal government is dead bent on building additional 4.1km of highway through Berlin that is estimated to cost over 500 million. And the critics say it will balloon to billions since the estimate is 10 years old anyway.

So basically millions of people will ride the train for three months for almost free, and the cost will be in the same ball park as 4km of one highway.
Helion is working on a deuterium/helium-3 reactor, which if it works will produce only 6% of its energy as neutron radiation. YCombinator was an investor. They've run six reactors and are building a seventh now for a net power attempt in 2024.

There are also at least four companies working on proton-boron fusion, though all but one are very small. (TAE is the exception.)

As tempting as this method sounds I'd be reluctant to employ it for the simple fact that the things you learn first (in this case the lies) are more likely to stick than the corrections. That's not the only factor in learning, obviously, and boy can I appreciate frustration around motivating people to engage with material more actively. Still, the principle of primacy gives me pause.

I wonder how much of the effect is due merely to increased attention from the novelty. What I mean is, could a similar effect be achieved by some other method that grabs attention in some other way without introducing incorrect material?
Ask HN: Mental Health for Hackers?
We live in interesting times as hackers. The Internet has empowered us like never before and everything these days is unprecedented and very powerful if used correctly and wielded correctly. `With great power comes great responsibility`.

But I've been thinking lately, with everything so polarized, and all the different factions warring against each other, and the organized chaos we live in, and the caffeinated hyper connected world we live in: it can wear us down if you don't disengage from it often, or try and tame our information diet we are all accustomed to.

Every day I chow down on so much documentation, security vulns, looking at code looking for defects (and there are plenty of defects to find!) and I realized everything is broken in some way. Hacking or more precisely infosec for me is the art of exploitation. `How can I use this to my advantage?`.

But at any given moment I could go full blackhat and pull off serious damage if I wanted to, but I'm an ethical hacker, so although the temptation is there, I don't proceed further and either 1) report it or 2) sell my exploit legitimately to an 0day broker 3) write a huge blogpost embarrassing the vendors(s) when option 1 or 2 doesn't work.

But all this is disheartening. Roughly ~90% of what I do is hobbyist projects I work on in my free time, and the rest is bug fixing, patching, reporting, etc It's the extra 10% of 'brokenness' that pisses me off. We like to think we can have nice things, but infosec is a dumpster fire, a raging mess we find ourselves in because people are getting away with it (look at the ransomware scene now, it's booming).

All this takes a toll on mental health. I could choose to ignore it, but there it is, the elephant in the room. People, companies, vendors, core infrastructure like hospitals, fuel pipelines; all getting pwned left right and center. And that's just ransomware. Cybercrime in general increases exponentially each year and it's getting worse. I try to help, writing tutorials on how to do defense in depth, zero trust manuals, best practice tutorials etc but it's still getting worse.

Are there any tips on good self-care tactics I can use to disengage from all this and not think about it too hard? Any mental health 'hacks' to approach a broken world? Ways to approach the rising amount of cybercrime news and shit-storms I encounter everyday?

Protocols can encourage rogue or unsustainable behaviour.

That's largely what happened with Usenet, and seems to be well-in-process with email.

Mastodon is an implementation of the ActivityPub standard. I've been on the platform since 2017, five years now, and have watched it go through various teething and growing pains, including mutually-incompatible cultures (e.g., Japanese Lolicon vs. World, also attempts by Gab and similar groups to join, largely rejected). There are strengths, including instance-level controls over moderation and peering / federation. That's scaled acceptably to a few thousand instances, but would likely be stressed were the network to grow to even a small fraction of the world's largest social networks. Given a one-tier model (users -> instances -> network), 10^10 active participants and balancing users to instances would require on the order of 10^5 users per instance, and 10^5 instances --- which is to say, 10^5 peering relations.

Given that most present admins are managing their peering / blocking relationships in their heads with a very minimal configuration system, that scaling problem seems unlikely to succeed.

My suspicion is that more tiers of relationships will appear, effective a hub-and-spoke system, of members, instances, and hubs, with roughly 1,000 of each on average. (This gives you about 1 billion total participants.)

What a "hub" means, or does, and how it interacts ... raises interesting questions. Which are entirely unaddressed so far as I'm aware.

(Note that in meatspace, we typically have geographic aggregations of people -> cities -> counties/states/provinces -> countries, or fourt to five levels of aggregation. This gives, in theory, roughly 100 members within each category. Clearly that's very rough, with cities often having far more people, and counties / states / provinces frequently having far fewer cities than the model would suggest. A large country might have ~100 major cities (again, some more, some fewer), and there are, counting as a physicist does, about 100 countries in the world (195 per worldometers).)

I've been largely pretty happy with Mastodon. I'm under no illusion that its success is guaranteed, or that it is inherently resistant to abuse or misuse.
For many detectable tumors, the best answer is "wait and see", not "immediately remove". There are many reasons for this- surgery itself is risky, the tumor itself might not ever become harmful.

And I think their failure to really understand fusion power either. The sort of fusion reactors we build first will produce tons of neutron radiation, which over time will turn the whole reactor itself into radioactive nuclear waste.
FWIW I just removed pg_attribute_always_inline from those three comparator functions in tuplesort.c and it made no difference to the generated code under GCC 10 at -O2.
