NHS already offers a (fairly rudimentary, last I checked) diagnostic tool in the form of NHS 111, which as well as being a phone number that people in the UK can call to talk to someone, is also a website (https://111.nhs.uk/) where you can give your symptom(s) and get a suggestion if possible causes.

It may not yet be good enough in all cases, I'm not sure, but is that what you're asking for? I'm not quite sure as you dived into things like data licensing without being clear on your actual hoped end result.

(Of course, the 111 site is designed as part of the wider NHS system, so when in doubt it's more likely to give advice to speak to a GP / call to speak to a nurse / visit a hospital, than to say "not sure, here are all the conditions it could be". But as it gets better I expect it to be able to do both.)

Not to mention that the main NHS site also lets you search for symptoms in the main search bar, so you don't need to know the condition to use it to search for possible conditions. edit: as better pointed out by jjar here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32650958
The health sector will probably be the last to get disrupted mainly because it is tightly controlled and regulated.

Regulation probably isn't a bad thing in itself but if it isn't used to enforce the status quo, keep control and set prices.

I have this idea that health data should be open sourced, I have no problems with my continuous blood pressure, sugar levels and pulse rate (etc) being used in machine learning to identify clusters that might be useful.
Just a thought for now.
This PC cycle is interesting. Bill Maher and "politically incorrect" ended 20 years ago. Paving way for real time, but omg I'm feeling old. The PC cycle must exist, it will come and go in strength. Here's what happens when the cycle breaks.

Tautological by definition, for 'politeness' to exist, you must have impoliteness. If you have a culture whose population has shifted more polite, like Canada, then democratically you end up going down this road of lawfully mandated politeness. Canada is jailing impolite people: https://thepostmillennial.com/rob-hoogland-canada-prisoner-o...

This is in essence what Jordan Peterson warned about and why he came to fame.

This wasn't the first law to jail/punish impolite people in Canada; but also why Canada has a reputation of politeness. You in return get an intentional shift in the zeitgeist of Canada. If you were given the option in front of you to actively boost the politeness of your fellow countrypeople, you probably would do it.

However, the consequence was political prisoners and the abolishment of free speech.
Why does it need an installer if it doesn’t contain dll’s or assets? Is that a technical requirement, or are you saying end users want an installer.
There is tons of medical advice. Wikipedia, cdc, health.gov, mayoclinic, webmd, Reddit forums, hacker news, etc.

You can even get fake diagnosis and fake healthcare from chiropractors who are allowed to advertise themselves as doctors, and fake medicine from naturopaths or whatever who are also allowed to call themselves doctor.

I am using fake to mean unsupported by evidence in the form of sufficiently blind trials and whatever else is needed to qualify as scientifically sound (not the same as FDA approved).
For better or worse, the US legal system and media publishers disagree, and they’ve established the rules that do require cooperation with the copyrights holders to build online streaming services. But as I’m sure you know, it’s at best problematic to call online streaming a “DVD rental”. It doesn’t fall under first sale doctrine if you stream a transcoded copy of the DVD you bought. This is why the laws around digital distribution and copyright aren’t exactly the same as the laws around physical distribution and copyright.
This view is probably a little too cynical. Are some providers honeypots? Sure. But I'd wager that most no-log VPN providers are earnest in their claims and intent.

The problem, of course, is that, as Proton demonstrated, any "no log" provider can be compelled to begin logging for a specific customer by any random corrupt privacy-hating judge.

I am a huge fan of technical solutions to tyranny, but what we need is a VPN provider that provides a jurisdictional solution. Set up the operating corporation in a Non-FVEY jurisdiction with no MLAT, and run all your edge nodes in colos where you install your own hardware with tamper detection switches.

That way, when the Feeb decides to make you an Enemy Of The State, there's no local judge or LEO required to follow an MLAT request, and when they try to go after the edge node providers that are in their jurisdiction, any attempt to tamper with the box will just brick the device.

At that point, the only real option left is for the CIA to smear the country's leader as a "dictator" and covertly fund a coup.
That might affect "deaths due to COVID-19" counts, but it does not, cannot, affect "excess deaths" counts, which don't include a cause of death. It is for this reason, among others, that people looking at global trends focus on "excess deaths."

I think it somewhat strengthens the rest of the work.

This is clearly not the answer the author wanted to find. And the bit about average number of days of life lost was a desperate attempt to hold on to his previous conclusion, before he looked at the numbers, that lockdowns were authoritarian overreactions.

I don't think it's fundamentally wrong to measure healthcare effects with numerical measures like QALY, but it's obviously looks even worse in the context of a big conspiracy theory about COVID.

Researchers investigating QALY impacts of their proposed treatments, fair enough. Philosophical Trolley problems, sure. Someone making a political point about freedom being worth killing people, where 'freedom' seems to mostly involve ignoring sensible medical advice, is less tasteful.

On the topic of total lockdowns, I thought Australia managed to keep a relatively normal life because they had a lockdown on people arriving? So they had less authoritarian stuff than a government that just let it in, could be wrong though, just how I rememebered it.

Sure. And a growing portion of research is made available through places like arxiv. The government is also pushing new regulations to make research publicly available when funded by the government, which is a dominant force in grant funding. This is wildly different than presenting findings on JRE.

And, in general, revolutionary new scientific ideas are targeted at scientists rather than the lay public. Ideas like new models of the solar system don't tend to take hold because the public thinks they are cool but instead because they become inevitable within the scientific community. Being less able to go on JRE and talk about how awesome ivermectin to a massive listener base is isn't going to limit scientific breakthroughs in the future.

This is an overly cynical view of management. Distrust and "screwed by estimations" are signs that the dynamic needs tweaking, not that all dynamics are like this.

People with managerial backgrounds can become quite adept at helping you:

- Identify blindspots in your biases and behavior that keep you from peak performance

- Avoid working on stuff that's not valuable to your team

- Settle disputes within a group

- Motivate you and keep you engaged/fulfilled with your work

- Get unstuck with personal problems

This is not an exhaustive list and you don't have to have a 'managerial background' to master stuff like this. I am an engineer who has had to learn management as a startup founder. I used to distrust the whole management thing but that kept me from growing as a teammate. Management is not only useful in 'non technical' jobs, it's useful in all human endeavors it's why we study it so much and why it has so much leverage.
Liberties are being removed left and right (pun intended) in the US these days. What's sad: it's the cool and normal thing now. Hooray cancel culture, boo firearms, hooray government spying, hooray untraceable elections running on hackable machines, boo keeping to ourselves on an international level rather than being world police, boo gay people from one side - but hooray children at drag shows on the other...

The really ironic thing is that there were armed guards at a children-permitted drag show, that were wearing plate carriers with LGBT flags on them. I'm all for that, man. Defend what you believe in with your constitutional rights. But what confuses me is the same people they're defending, are generally the same group of people that want to eliminate their right to own so-called "weapons of war" (which were originally engineered for the civilian market, mind you).

I didn't get the impression that he's your typical CTO and completely hands off with code and development. If anything, it sounded like he's still very much in the trenches but has learned how to delegate work well and pick which problems are worth the time investment.

When it came to his work on Oculus and the work he's about to do in the field of AGI it sounded like he'll definitely be making direct contributions. It's entirely possible that I misunderstood his stance throughout the interview though and he's a more hands off guy now.
This hits perfectly on an FAQ we have:

Are there any times I should avoid testing?

Experts recommend avoiding testing when you might be experiencing an acute (short term) elevation in hsCRP. Some instances that cause short term elevation include bacterial or viral infections and strenuous exercise (like running a marathon). These cause short term elevations in hsCRP because acute inflammation (short term spikes in inflammation) can help the body clear pathogens and heal tissues.

> why people use Telegram instead of Signal

Telegram has a great bot feature, that you can use to do a bunch of stuff (from smart house notifications, to "uptime robot" tracking of services up/down states, build results, temperature alarms, server monitoring, etc. One curl oneliner, and you get a message on your phone with whatever data needed (even with an image/graph or a file attachment).
Can you elaborate on this because this has been bugging me for some time. I’ve heard Kay’s comment many times but I have never heard him give an explanation as to what practical difference it would make in the day to day task of software development, specifically with respect to Smalltalk 80. When I think of message passing I think of things like Kafka, message queues, ESBs etc. Where the producers and consumers of the messages are completely decoupled and the processing is asynchronous. But I’m not sure how this maps to a thread/proc local context where a caller of a function or method or the sender of a “message” expects a response.

Distinguishing different pitches implies distinguishing dissonant intervals from consonant intervals: there is no way they can sound equally "perfect".

What is definitely possible, instead, is liking dissonant intervals more than consonant intervals, for example because they sound "fatter".

> The greatest performance gains are actually at the lowest TDPs, where the 7950X saw a 74% increase in Cinebench R23 MT performance. These advantages actually decreased as TDPs went up, dropping to 37% at 105W, and finally 35% at 170W.

My money is on the new I/O die being the source of most of the improvement in the low TDP range. That thing was pretty power hungry on 12nm GloFo; 6nm TSMC is a pretty sizeable leap.

Obviously there are improvements everywhere in the V/F curve, implying that the CCDs have also had solid improvements, but since I/O die power draw doesn't change much with CCD frequency, it's a bigger slice of the pie (so to speak) at lower clocks.
This was my thinking. From the way the author writes, they seem to say, "I would skip lockdowns, in exchange for giving up my 15 extra days of life". If that were the thing on offer, I think a lot of people would say "forget the extra 15 days, I'll not have a lockdown".

That's not what it is though. The question is, would you go into lockdown to give everyone in the country 15 extra days of life. That's what you're trading. Personal inconvenience for strong positive externalities, you can't just think about the part of it that comes back to you. It's a general societal good that you're doing.

> I’d be willing to bet there’s more to the story in nearly every case. The non-standard way is often a deliberate choice to attempt to optimize for output, given unpredictable and unrealistic deadlines.

Yeah... I hit this... A lot, in the past couple of years. "just get it out, we'll polish it later". It was... primarily me in dev (I was doing about 90% of the app code), and there was never enough time to catch up. I've moved on, and there's now ~3 people, and they've been given more time and ability to reset schedules and... now it's all "why was this done so poorly? this is garbage", etc. I've pointed to my many messages asking for things to slow down, schedule more time, etc. Always a "later", and now that the personnel have changed, and there's "more time" for everything... most of what I did looks bad. I was the only one writing tests - left them with 500+ tests, some documentation and action/decision log docs - but no one looks at it. "This is bad". Well... sure, but it's tested, and you now can refactor, vs rebuilding from scratch (which... I'd lobbied to do 2 years earlier, before building on top of the very shaky MVP).

> AMD Ryzen 7950X processor enables single-core performance improvement of up to +29%

It appears that the new micro architecture is not providing any performance increase itself since 4.5Ghz is 32% faster than the previous 3.4Ghz clock ... and AMD is measuring a 29% IPC increase.

All of the performance gains must be purely from going to 5nm (vs 7nm).

For reference, the previous chip (5950X) had a base clock of 3.4Ghz [0] and this new 7950X has a base clock of 4.5Ghz.
