Not mentioned: the US research complex and healthcare spending subsidizing development of state-of-the-art therapies for other countries.

They don't bear the cost so expecting the US to do better at same or lower cost is structually impossible.
You know what could be good, these charities talk about stories, not their statistics. Maybe they could humanistically keep records of their stories, like use a good system for that, maybe part digital, but with paper, so they can be read.

Like the complaints at Liga Chilena Contra la Epilepsia, they just have a Sugerencias y Reclamos book, which you can read (though they told me it is not for me to read). You can see for instance that they addressed one complaint they got a lot, which was the lack of cashiers, so in fact with their remodel five years ago they changed it completely so they now have up to 8 cashiers at a time, and short wait times. My favorite Chilean pharmacy, I'll repeat here the comment I left for that charity: "Un siete!"
BS headline both on HN and vice. Content is not about AI inventing its own culture.

However, there is a clear long term agenda claiming humans are more are more "worthless" (here they say "biased" as if AI models wouldn't be "biased", lol) so power must be transferred to platforms owned by BigCorps and BigMoney, "because" these platforms going to have AI smarter than everything so everyone must just trust and obey.

"You stupid, poor, biased, limited humans... you are not capable to understand why you must to do what we, the author/owner of the AI "calculated", but hey, it's AI with so much computing power, we don't even have to debate with you poor biased suboptimal creatures. By the way the AI shall limit how to spend all your money, IT MUST BE THE ONLY OPTIMAL WAY on the whole society level!111!$11$!1!$ And it's unbiased, because SCIENCE. No, the humans working on it are perfect, or at least the bests, never to be corrupted, that's not an issue you suboptimal naive creature. Now go and do what I say you lazy stupid bastard."

It is a true attempt to hack our norms, I hope more and more educated people are going to realize this. I already see a trend on that realization. They just don't hide their cards at all at this point.

I think a more apt description is "owning a home". Owning a home brings all kinds of complications beyond just paying a single bill. One of the major benefits of renting is that you effectively outsource all the maintenance headaches, for example.

When they introduced c6i they did it at the same price as c5, even though the c6i is a lot more efficient. They're raising the price on c7g vs. c6g to bring it closer to the pricing of c6i, which is pretty much exactly what I suggested?

As a researcher in the field and someone who has seen a few friends go due to cancer, the current standard of care is very frustrating.

I believe cancer is orders of magnitude easier to treat when it is still asymptomatic but detectable using metrics such as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). However, it is taking ages to deploy this technology because healthcare struggles with any data-oriented solution.

It implies nothing of the sort.

You're just trying your best to misinterpret what I actually wrote.
While your premise may not be wrong, I'm not so sure that COVID statistics can tell us much between countries. There are a great deal of countries that are either wholly inadequate, or purposefully misleading when it comes to their true COVID numbers.

For example, India has an official COVID death count of around 500k. The WHO has made their own estimates and believe their death count to be closer to 5 million, ten times the official number.
It's rather trivial to write your own specialised form of array management, that is both easier to read & debug & also produces less bloat.
I've worked at several places where std:: is verboten.

Only some of the people coming onboard never got over the shock of such a rule, but for the most part, all developers embraced the different paradigm. Teams inter operated faster, iterated changes faster, & there were less issues with inter department libraries. Bugs were far fewer.

It really gives you freedom to have complete ownership of your code, rather than 100% relying on boilerplate libraries. I now see std:: as a disempowering limitation to modern development.

Of course, YMMV.

It also makes it easier to work on other platforms, like embedded, where resources are a premium. Writing your own vector & hashmaps then become part of your muscle memory & it's no longer daunting to write a custom allocator.
A bit unrelated - but I always thought the American concept of "annual checkups" sounded a bit weird. Here where I come from, Norway, that is not a thing - unless you have / or have had some serious illness in the past. Obviously cancer patients, or those in remission, get checked up every x months.

But for regular people, it's pretty much not a thing. It also made me wonder: How much more would it cost our health-care system, if everyone took advantage of things like annual checkups, or going through those extensive screens/tests that a lot of American patients go through. I guess the fear of malpractice lawsuits, higher insurance rates, or whatever make the medical centers in US a bit more incentivized to catch anything at all.

But AFAIK, we don't have any higher mortality rate here than those living in the US. Earlier this year I went to the doctor, because I was feeling a bit lethargic - turned out I had severe vitamin D deficiency. But other than that, it must be 7-8 years since I talked with a doctor.

(But credit where credit is due - the US seems like an excellent option IF you really need to get treated for certain cancers. It's not like we have "death panels" or awful long wait time here, but I know patients that have gone to the US to get treatment - on their own bill - for cancers that were deemed too advanced for treatment, here in Norway.)
Please don't take HN threads into nationalistic (or regionalistic) flamewar. Last thing we need here.

As someone using the German railway for a large distance destination couple a weeks ago it was a total disaster, we got stranded in a unfamiliar German city. Deutsche bahn told us they didn’t have any of their (partner) hotel rooms left. Just arrange something yourself. That was very nice because all the hotels were full anyway. It took us another 2 hours of calling to find something. I was exhausted when I finally checked in somewhere at 1 am.

I try to avoid flying, but the German railway is giving me nightmares. I frequently travel through Germany and it is the exception if there aren’t any large issues.

The article itself is very thin when giving its reasons. I’m sure it’s oké for people without the money to spend, but I would rather pay more for increased reliability. If the German summers are similar to how the Dutch maintains their railways, I’m sure they will plan a ton of construction while the masses of people that usually take the trains for work are on holiday. So I’m inclined to see this promotional as compensation for bad summer train service.
I can't tell if you think companies should hire everyone or hire no-one.
This guy lost me after listing his biases. If your approach or the technology requires you to work at that low of a level, then we're doing something wrong. We should be abstracting complexity away, not depending on being knowledgeable of the inner working of things, like browser specific tricks (unless necessary).
Can you not just block the specific addresses? Sure, you'll probably have to do some log digging to find out which ones, but I'm guessing someone else on the internet has already done it.

I'll bring out the fainting couch. These devices are enough of a poison pill that you're better off without them. You can problem block them with Pihole, but you're one update away from either circumventing the Pihole, or breaking your IoT device because something got changed on the manufacturer's end.
Sure, there are multiple ways to run a company, but people aren't machines. A pure focus on measurables to the exclusion of soft motivation and skill has proven to be less effective. I'm honestly surprised you believe otherwise.

The sunset commission is a great idea. Similar to what you mentioned, we really need "garbage collection" for for laws, regulation, boards, departments, etc. A periodic review and cleanup of legal and organizational garbage.
Yeah a Stanford professor told me you need 6 months to be productive in a coder job. 3 months, others have said. To pull your weight, and then pull more than your weight.

Of course where I've worked the firing threats start on day 1, and they obviously expected (Unholster for one) that I work at home. Those guys wanted the whole install to be done at the end of day 1.
True, they’re a risk in most areas. Responsible for more technical debt than a scrum master.
A lot of my classes the average grade on a test could be as low as 30% with a P100 of 50%. The material was extraordinarily difficult. I’m glad it was because it stretched me in equally extraordinary ways to do my best. But I don’t see how they would have assigned grades without a curve. In most cases I agree with you, but in those classes I wouldn’t have changed to tests to dumb them down but I also wouldn’t have accepted score based grades. The curve felt fairly rational in the situation and I think the distribution of performance reflected a grade curve well enough. The GPA though for the department was depressed relative to others but it was also widely regarded and recognized internationally as extremely difficult.

There's going to be a point where choosing to work at Google in 2020+ is going to be a black mark on your entire career. Nobody has the excuse of claiming they still don't know what's going on.

As is often the case, preventative maintenance is a lot cheaper than remediation. It's easier to safely dismantle a tree that is dying but not yet rotting. If you ignore the problem for too long, that's when things fall on your house and fixing your roof will cost a lot more than getting the tree removed properly a few years ago would have cost.
> Students are just as much a part of the system as teachers, so I don't think this elitism about who can have an opinion is helpful.

Of course everyone can have an opinion! But are these truly likely to contribute to solving the problem? Of course not. Some people are more likely to have the experience and skills to comprehend and advocate for better solutions.

Yes, I tend to support democratic forms of government over others. However, I'm under no illusion that democracy's broad, sweeping claims about what government are "best" are really defensible when applied to the general problem of collective problem solving under real-world constraints.

Having one person, one vote seems intuitive and valuable for certain decisions. In particular, it seems useful and practical for selecting certain representatives. But I (and many others) don't think it is a great way of making policy decisions in general. Just as one example: committees of experts can make sense in some contexts.

But in general, we can do better than what most of us have seen so far. We have to do better than that. Look at how well government(s) at all levels are serving their constituents. I think it is self-evident that all can stand tremendous improvement.

So, for any particular context, think about how to design mechanisms that are likely to work well. In so doing, one must account for many factors, including: human biases, cognitive limitations, cultural differences, imperfect communication, economic costs, time constraints, factions, self-interest, lack of experience, and so on.

Keeping these in mind, how exactly would you select, organize, and structure an ongoing set of interactions between, say 1,000 people such that one can maximize the quality of their resulting collective recommendations?

One option is to choose 1,000 people at random and weight their opinions evenly. But this is underspecified. How do you compress those recommendations into a form that others are likely to read? How do you discover collective preferences? There are dozens of key questions even if you generally adhere to the idea of "equally weighting each person's opinion".

But there are manifold other options where each individual's starting opinion is not the driving factor.

I encourage everyone here to study political economy, history, philosophy, and anthropology. Disregard your preconceived framings of how people make decisions. Look at how others have done it. Look at what theorists suggest might be alternatives. It is an amazing journey. I've been thinking about it for almost twenty years, and it is just as fascinating, if not more, as when I first got exposed to these ideas in policy school.

> If you suffer a total disk failure of one of those disks in the array, you have likely lost some data. [...] The reason is, with a total loss of a single disk, any read error on any of the remaining disks is a lost/corrupted file.

Wait, what? If a RAID-(z)1 ZFS array loses one disk, there's data loss? I've ran so many RAID-1 and RAID-10 arrays with mdadm that I can't even being to count them, and I had many drive failures. If any of those arrays would have corrupted data, I would have been mad as hell.

Part of the reason why it’s a thing in the US is that a huge number of people do have/have had a serious illness in the past: heart disease, diabetes, obesity, etc. Part of the reason they have those illnesses is because they neglected their health due to the cost of prevention.

shrug perverse incentives. For a lot of college students, the actual learning or lack thereof, while still important, does not affect them directly. But getting a bad grade does. Drop in average grade might affect their scholarships, various arrangements with their families and possibly future employment prospects. So while not learning the material properly is bad in a somewhat abstract and theoretical way, getting a bad grade might have a very practical adverse effect. And I am not even going to mention the social stigma of getting bad grades.

So yeah, getting a good grade is more important than actually learning and let's be honest, cheating is a more energy efficient way of getting good grades.
It might not "just fix" hiring, but at least it doesn't blinding accept the status quo and attempt to engineer an alternative that can then be evaluated. We are supposed to be scientists, are we not?

We shouldn't expect outcomes to be much different, because when someone gets cancer in the rich world, they get treated with whatever medical science thinks is best. Contrast that with an ordinary purchase like a washing machine.

What's left when you're definitely going to buy the Cadillac is that the price depends on how much money you have, and Americans tend to be wealthy.

It also depends on factors relating to restriction of competition. If there's only so many doctors, which is the case because they restrict how many can be trained, doctors can extract more. Add to that the fear of litigation (friend dated a girl whose father made a living suing US doctors) and they end up spending money on tests that they wouldn't in the rest of the west. Possibly collective purchasing in national systems means something too, not sure.
I think actually whats happening is some people are just not good at interviewing on the spot. And people are looking for gotchas in these interviews, "He didnt know how to use breadth first search?!?!?!", when the senior engineers daily life is probably more like a surgeon operating on a highly convoluted large scale code base full of business logic.

Besides the autovectorization, the second version also has two additional assignments. Depending on how the storage is used for these, whether it’s to registers, L1/L2, or stack, there might be performance hit.
> Hygienic macros are too hard to understand let alone implement, while ordinary macros are more powerful (and maintainability does not matter much for toy language) and relatively easy to implement.

Understanding hygienic macros isn’t all that hard but I agree implementing them is difficult. On multiple occasions I’ve tried to plan out how to get them to work but (ironically) everything I can find only explains the theory and not how to practically implement them.
What is this comment supposed to mean? Postmodernism is a (nonsensical, imo) philosophical program. Do you mean postmodernity instead? In what sense?
While I agree with what you've said, but "skill of SQL" makes me cringe. It sounds like some fundamental skill, like running or swimming. But it's more like "navigating your local govt bureucracy skill" – you generally better off when you have it, but there is nothing to be proud about.

SQL as a query language is truly horrible once you get past simple data queries. Most people never question if SQL is even good for its job, or if there is an alternative to the SQL, and blindly work on their SQL skills. It's still better than working on the "MongoDB skills", though. But in 2022 the DB interfaces exploration space is expanding, and there are some good alternatives to SQL to learn too.

The balance has shifted away from SPAs - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31459316 - May 2022 (444 comments)
I worked for a company (2009-10) that made big spinny ones for outdoor advertising (they got a few deployed in the UK) and were working on a 8'x5' billboard-style one which had 8 huge rotors, each with 4 arms, coated in (of the time huge) LEDs.

When it span up, it sounded like a steam-powered 747 trying to take off.

Thankfully (because the potential for catastrophic disintegration was huge) the company went bust before any of these got deployed anywhere near the public.
An answer I gave to a different post addresses some of your comments. You are correct teachers (and schools) serve two (or even more) purposes. It is to teach someone how to do things, i.e. the teacher role and they serve as gatekeepers, i.e. make sure that they know enough to get this qualification.

I also agree with you that in an ideal world we would not need the gatekeeper role and tests would only help the students on how far along their learning journey they are. However, reality means we do need gatekeeping, we need to test that a student has sufficient knowledge to perform a certain task, because literally lives can depend on it, e.g. we would not let people drive on the roads without an exam or let a doctor operate someone without proven knowledge that they can do it.

Because of the gatekeeping requirements and the interests of students they will optimize for outcomes, that might mean they learn some subjects in depth, but it will also mean they learn some subjects with the bare minimum to pass (and that is fine).

Unfortunately the students who optimize for outcomes generally outweigh the students who want to learn (at least vocally). I think everyone who taught will be able to tell you that students are incredibly conservative towards changes, even if they improve their learning outcomes (give us recipe instructions, not try to get us to figure out things for ourselves), because it might mean more work.

And I agree that ideally (and practically) we should need much less carrot and stick, but saying we will never need them is quite unrealistic IMO.

"Everyone I disagree with is a Nazi." [1] In the real world, Orban was just reelected with overwhelming majority (increasing his vote share). He didn't contribute to the causes of said migration and didn't set out to solve the problem either, he just made sure his country and the people that elected him were minimally impacted.

> We housed, clothed, fed and educated millions of people in need of our help and it was an amazing success!

This is precisely the problem. In Europe, we maintain a high standard of living, and a social safety net. That simply isn't logically compatible with unrestricted illegal immigration (because the resources with which we run the social safety net aren't infinite). We need different solutions, preferably solving these problems (food, housing, ...) where they happen (would also be much cheaper!)
