If the “government” becomes the only source of truth, that source of truth is necessarily political. The oft-mentioned NHS — do they not have an incentive to lower health care expenditures? Would providing medical information to the public that prescribes a suggested course of action incentivize the course of action that is least expensive to the government but not necessarily the best treatment? Is there any potential for a conflict of interest there? Of course there is. If some condition is best treated with an expensive procedure, would the NHS be incentivized to recommend a cheaper, but less effective approach? Of course they would. The NHS routinely denies or delays life-changing surgeries over cost despite such denials not being in the best interests of the patient. (Try getting an NHS knee replacement.) There are treatments NHS won’t recommend because a person is too old. Not because they can’t handle the procedure but because the expense isn’t worth the amount of lifespan remaining in the patient.

Medical information provided by governments is often centered around what’s best for “populations” and not necessarily the individual. Covid is a prime example: masking kids was bad for the kids but allegedly “good” for the population. Damaging to the individual for the alleged benefit of the so-called greater good. Despite all the kid masking “science” turning out to be garbage. Covid vax for kids is another example: the government right now in the US promotes vaccinating even toddlers despite their individual risk of serious illness being statistically zero.

HIV is also something that the government really got it wrong in the 1980s. https://www.aier.org/article/fauci-was-duplicitous-on-the-ai...

Covid information is another example: the government was wrong on multiple occasions throughout the pandemic. Yet when “official sources” are the only approved source of information, the public gets mislead. The marketplace of ideas is a real idea and it should be embraced. We need more private sector competition for information, not less.

If WebMD is bad, the solution isn’t government, it’s a competitor.
I suspect YouTube alone makes up the majority of my casual browsing data volume.

Asking your users is cute, but at the end of the day, when you're served with a government request, the government prevails.
Check out the National Library of Medicine’s MedlinePlus resource for an equivalent to the NHS’s consumer-oriented health info portal: https://medlineplus.gov/

It’s a fabulous and under-utilized resource!
My dim recollection (I was young at the time) is that based on known times for ice ages, it seemed to someone like we were becoming due for another one. Just based on the clock, no understanding of mechanics. More Newsweek-like.

That seems correct to me. I tried to look up the costs in Australia and I think this is the Medicare Benefits Schedule for it (ie C-reactive protein), though I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong:

http://www9.health.gov.au/mbs/fullDisplay.cfm?type=item&q=66...

If correct, it seems the cost to the taxpayer is $9.70 AUD (about $6.67 US). So even without bulk-billing making it free here, that's still a 10x markup.
In the end the only functional parts that worked algorithmicly are exactly those featured in the GlacierMD demo. What trials are running related to this indication, what compounds are being tested for the indication and what other indications are related.

That's the easy part, it's effectively a word association game, TF-IDF did this job admirably, scoring proper nouns by their uniqueness and then associating them with one another and searching for publications with similar words as the requested indication. Effectively a medical word cloud for each indication and compound. Parsing them into symptoms is the first nightmare, the second is numeric values associated with those symptoms and paper results.

There is a very good reason the demo only has one indication and a handful of symptoms, it's being done manually and then at best showing publications related to the words encountered.

It's not a matter of cost, although the author is all but doomed if they want to cover more than a few indications, it's a matter of not forcing publicly funded health publications to use an electronically parseable Format despite the simplicity of them being able to parse their paper by definition.

See the standards XKCD, the issue is getting many different academics and departments to agree on a set of schema to include alongside their publications. PubMed at least tries with their XML dumps but even those are inconsistent at best and non-syntactically interpretable at worst. The Japanese compound tracker is great to learn about a specific compound and their indications but stops there.
To me it seems clear that GP wrote without hate. A charitable reading is that they just don't have the experience to understand transgender experience.

In the context of a discussion about the motivations for and arguments against political correctness it seems to me that we should try to create a safe space for folks (like deltasevennine) to express their perspectives evidently offered in good faith. (Even, and especially, if they seem wrong. You can't have a constructive discussion slinging mud.)

> That to me is a profound question, and the core central question that's being asked by this culture war. We'd all be happier if everyone was politically correct. But of course we'd also be, in a way, lying to ourselves.

To me too this is a profound and fascinating question. It cuts to the epistemological root of the matter. "How do you know?"

I think a lot of what we're seeing as culture war actually boils down to an axis of Cosmopolitan vs. Provincial. With the advent of globalism and the Internet everyone has to confront everyone else in a giant distributed city. Things that seemed like bedrock (i.e. "There are only two genders") crash up against reality where that "rule" is just not applicable (i.e. there are human cultures with more than two genders, and biologically there are e.g. hermaphrodites, etc.)
Theranos promised to build a machine that would reduce the cost of blood samples by multiple order of magnitudes. They were unsuccessful in building it, and they lied about the progress of it all ton investors, journalists etc.

This is using existing - proven - testing methods and process. The claims are much less extraordinary; they are not claiming to completely transform an industry, but "merely" to give you additional insights on your health based on what's already known to be working.

Maybe it won't be successful or maybe the insights won't be as interesting as they claim, but it's nowhere near what Theranos was doing.
Cite something about the fear?

That is Apple silicon specific (at least for now?) as it isn’t a behaviour inherent to the ISA but rather it is yet another cache related side channel. It is of course entirely possible that other vendors will have the same info leak, but that particular paper seemed to be only interested in Apple hardware - I’m unsure how widely deployed PAC is in other vendor hardware so don’t know how feasible testing is.

[edit: this is also a 2017 article (I hadn't realized originally, cheers @dmytrish) so the gcc, etc support comments are presumably outdated]
An alternate universe where Berners-Lee built his hypertext viewer in NeWS:

Eventually, as more people got hypertext browsers, many desktop applications began to be distributed instead as client-side interactive PostScript documents, eschewing the NeWS network protocol altogether in favor of PSON, a text-based protocol which had the advantage of working correctly through corporate firewalls.

Someone developed a server-side runtime engine called Node.ps, and many people jumped on the bandwagon, claiming that it made sharing code between the client and server much easier. As PostScript development became more complex, preprocessor tools began proliferating, including a strongly-typed version of PostScript, known as TypeScript, which had a sophisticated type system that could handle the often-tortured function signatures of library authors.

Due to PostScript's lack of a good standard library, a company named "PPM" started a package repository, which was soon filled with tiny libraries for each PostScript procedure. This eventually lead to the “string-length debacle” when an upset developer unpublished a five-line package...
This argument is real loose. You seemed to have started with your conclusion and worked backwards, then since it doesn't work the other side is wrong.

"The easiest method to discredit divination is that if it were real in any context, that context can be described, a procedure can be drawn, and we can make tools to do it."

This argument assumes complete mastery of the universe. There are so many biological and chemical processes we don't have tools to do. We can't raise a baby outside of a mother's womb. We can't make solar flares.

"So why not an app?"

Possibly because it just wouldn't work. There's no reason it has to. Jet engine blades weren't always ceramic. Why not cardboard?

Yes, it is unfortunate that I many places the blind hate toward US and the West in general does not see the things as they are and has trust in blatant and obvious Russian misinformation. Many people have therefor become supporters of one of the vilest recent genocides of nation that has nothing to do with their source of hate.

Didn't AVX-512 turned out to be a flop? e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVX-512#Performance -

"On some processors AVX-512 instructions cause a frequency throttling even greater than its predecessors, causing a penalty for mixed workloads. The additional downclocking is triggered by the 512-bit width of vectors and depend on the nature of instructions being executed, and using the 128 or 256-bit part of AVX-512 (AVX-512VL) does not trigger it. As a result, gcc and clang default to prefer using the 256-bit vectors. ()"

it goes to show just how upset it makes people that the JRE podcast exists and is successful. a peculiar insight into how controlling people are that they'd casually suggest we may need "a more authoritarian model of speech" just to combat a weird celebtrity talking to people for 2-3 hours
Disclaimer, I am the founder of Wyndly (YCW21) -- we fix allergies for life through telehealth and personalized immunotherapy.

WebMD, Healthline, and Verywell Health all monetize off of views. They're exceptional SEO operators, and they know how to game Google. The trick is to find people who aren't monetizing off of just views.

Actually helpful information is coming from services that don't monetize off of views, or where the content is written for more than just SEO. For example, Anja Health is educating people about a novel idea (https://www.tiktok.com/@kathrynanja). At Wyndly, we build trust with our content by having my co-founder answer common questions (https://www.instagram.com/wyndlyhealth/).

These are experts sharing their niche. In fact, we source the questions we answer from our support inbox. So, not only are we putting useful information our into the world, we're creating resources for our support team. It's a win-win.

Side note: yes, we do play the SEO game somewhat. At the end of the day, if we have a successful video, it'd be foolish not to resource it for Google and for people: https://www.wyndly.com/blogs/learn/what-kind-of-doctor-for-a...
If I recall that paper properly, they chose to do their work on the M1 because it was the only available chip with PAC at the time.

Thanks -- We actually maintain an exclude list of OSS ads that you can use with your ad blocker of choice: https://ads-for-open-source.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.h...

Of note, we do run our own javascript client on the pages. Our users can opt into hitting our backend API instead of running JS code, but many just use our client directly.

We currently serve the ads on our own domain. We could implement the ability for our publishers to proxy the ad views to our domain (this is generally called "ad cloaking"), but it hasn't felt like the right thing to do.

We are also on the Acceptable Ads non-tracking list, so our domains are unblocked for people who choose that in their ad blocker. If we use a publishers domain, they will be unblocked for some period of time, but then their domain gets added to the ad blockers, and we lose this Acceptable Ads traffic.
TLDR: Violation of the Law of One.
Sure, you are right. I still feel like shit after covid.
MV3 splits permissions into host permissions and classical permissions (tabs, storage, etc). Putting <all_urls> in your host permission list means that whatever the extension does, it can do it on all possible urls you may visit in the browser. In this sense, it's no different than in MV2.

What's different is the classical permissions. Previously you could use the webRequest permission to execute custom JS functions in response to network activity. In MV3 you must now write a declarative rule instead using the declarativeNetRequest permission. By moving from an imperitive model to a declarative one, Google now has exacting control over what ad blockers can and can't do.

Gorhill's argument is that the stated reasons for MV3 do not align with the implementation. The example he gives is that Google claims the new API is more private. However you still need <all_urls> so the extension is as un-private as its MV2 equivalent. The only difference is that now Google controls what blocking you're allowed to declare and how much of it you're allowed to do.

There's a similar community discovery where MV3 implementation is provably counter to Google's claims of performance enhancement - MV3 extensions need to rehydrate state every 5 minutes as Chrome shuts down their service worker and for highly active extensions such as ad blockers this is actually less performant than the MV2 implementation with a long-lived background.

Basically, Google is full of shit.

Keep in mind to have the batch-size low (equal to 1, probably), that was my main issue when I first installed this.

Then, there's lot's of great forks already which add an interactive repl or web ui [0][1]. They also run with half-precision which saves a few bytes. Additionally, they optionally integrate with upscaling neural networks, which means you can generate 512x512 images with stable diffusion and then scale them up to 1024x1024 easily. Moreover, they optionally integrate with face-fixing neural networks, which can also drastically improve the quality of images.

There's also this ultra-optimized repo, but it's a fair bit slower [2].

As I said in my parent comment, there's other attributes better suited to purposes like this rather than overloading the `class` attribute.

You can, for example, use a `data-testid` attribute if the element can't be identified reliably with another attribute, such as the `id` or `role`.

They could have tried SPARC ADI instead.
That’s only true for apps that are compiled and run on a PC. Most general purpose computers in the world run ARM/Android.
Full GPT-6B can run if you have 22gb ram (CPU or GPU depending on where you run it).

Also can run an 8 bit quantized version pretty easily. This takes ~6gb RAM.

The results seem far off from GPT-3 but apparently it can get good results when fine tuned.

Bigger models like OPT 66B can run on cloud machines (or a really big local system)

OPT 175B weights are not open but can be applied for.

175B would require something like 500GB RAM if not quantized. That's a lot, but it's possible to build that locally if you have a couple 10's of thousands of dollars.

Wait a few years and 175B on a GPU will be no problem.
They've got no water in one of the largest cities, but those state officials are definitely on top of making sure that those uppity females have no access to reproductive healthcare, and that city is mostly not white people -- they've got their priorities to take care of!

Meanwhile, it looks like some federal intervention, e.g., Army Corp of Engineers is likely needed.

More seriously, this is what we get when politicians chase "culture issues" and don't actually govern, and people care more about revenge on groups they don't like than electing people who will actually govern.

Because C++ has been used in so many different domains and for so many decades(!), there are an overwhelming variety of architectures that have been deployed to great success in their own problem space. So I think you'll have a hard time finding resources until you narrow down what sort of things you'd like to be designing.

You can spend years learning all about great design patterns that make sense for an IoT or embedded system but have completely backwards ideas about how to organize code for a game that needs to process 1000 unit movements per frame.

But once you figure out some narrower domain that you like, you should be able to find books about it , (if you're good at reading code) can start studying open source approaches to it, and can start prototyping small projects to gain some hands-on experience and muscle memory.
A cynical or experienced view? I'm in management and have seen good managers and bad, but the bad ones are quite a few. To address your points, managers with a non technical background:

- Cannot identify blind spots that keep you at peak performance, only another engineer with more experience (tech lead or senior) can do so. They can only identify behaviors that make them look bad or are inconvenient when viewed from the point of view of their peers -- other managers.

- A non technical manager has literally no idea what is valuable to delivering complex technical work. They can only guess, and often guess badly. Again only a senior or tech lead with experience could do this.

- How could a non technical manager motivate any engineer, without an understanding of their difficulties, problems and ways to solve these problems practically? I just don't buy it. "Let's do overtime on the weekend guys..."

- Managers should not be involved with people's personal problems. I've met so many managers that are extroverted and managing sensitive introverted teams, that all they ultimately do is the equivalent of hammer on the aquarium glass. Remember that sign in the pet store: "Don't tap on the glass"? It's true of technical teams that are of a totally different temperament than managers.

No, you should be using ARIA attributes, such as `aria-role` for this where it cannot be inferred by the element's tag name.

I suggest learning an architecture framework which guides you on what topics to address as part of your architecture - such as 4+1, Viewpoints and perspectives or arc42 which I’ve learned of recently and seems to resemble the former. You’ll then mix domain-specific details into that framework.

Systems design is for me quintessentially embedded system architecture for a microcontroller, a SoC or combination. It could be a smartphone or console, or medical device, etc.
This is a very broad domain… in my case I work exclusively on non safety-critical SW, so I’ve focused on learning Linux internals and system programming which I combine with an architecture framework. Typically I design middleware and daemons which work together to cover a specific area of a product. I work with different kinds of specialists (HW, kernel, performance, etc) and a lead SW architect for each specific platform. The system architect is a different person that oversees both SW and HW and requires skills in both.

For Linux I cand recommend the classics: Stevens, Kerrisk, Love. I found Chris Simmonds’ book to be a good general intro to embedded programming; it has much info which also helps with embedded system design. I’ve also picked up ideas from Making Embedded Systems by White or Embedded Systems Architecture by Noergaard.

Application design refers to individual applications running on an OS. These are the typical MVC or layered architecture styles. The official OS UI framework will likely define a recommended architecture while headless services are quite flexible and support several architectural styles.

Vol 1 of the Pattern Oriented Software architecture is a good intro. I have Software Architecture Patterns by Richards on my reading list, since it covers more recent styles like microservices.
Reading this comment as a person of Irish descent is making me feel queasy it’s so distasteful.

Yeah, fiverr isn't going to pay well, that's right there in the name.

I have had some success with other freelancing sites in the past, where I initially set my rates to $50/hour and raised it to over $150/hour by the time I stopped. More than once, I lost a job in the initial bidding, but was later contacted and hired by the client after issues cropped up with the cheaper hires.

And, yes, as others have said, networking and marketing. I also wrote a technical blog and got other jobs through my network. Over time, that became the primary source of clients. But, when I was just starting, the freelancer sites were very helpful.
