I disagree.

It’s ‘only’ converting each pixel into 4, so the starting point is not going to change a lot. Also keep in mind that interpolating has been part of image reconstructions for 20+ years. MR suffers from slow acquisition times so we cheat and image resolution is rarely symmetrical in pixel dimensions when you compare x, y and z directions.

Previously we just made pixels square (made up data) then doubled the pixel count (more made up data). It was that dumb.

I’ve tried acquiring an image and up scaling it 2x. Then acquiring the same image at double the resolution and not upscaling.

It’s hard to compare as the longer acquisition is often hampered by patient movement.

When I set up a scan with the AI I’d estimate it as adding about about 30% signal. I make up a scan that will look good. Then turn the AI on, then shorten the scan or increase the resolution such that it’s 30% ish down on signal, then I press go.

We are seeing things we didn’t previously, particularly with cartilage injuries.

Thats how you make something that doesnt look good or function that well because you're focusing on too much.

They are taking the Apple path with linux. Make the hardware and make the software tailored for the hardware for a great experience. Yes they support people installing on stuff other than their hardware, but they make sure their hardware is supported and runs well.
I love Mod Archive! Managed to find 99% of my favourites from the 90's on there... though they don't provide a way to play a list in sequence, so I made one for myself: https://www.mirthturtle.com/crunchy-reliable-beats

Ironically it's been unreliable since HN traffic started crushing Mod Archive.

I think it's just because redditors tend to be younger (and the site is advertising to young people specifically). There's no point in arguing with literal children
Well you're not wrong. A big reason why I've never checked out rust is because of how rabid the fanbase was for a while. Seems to have simmered down within the past ~6 months though which is nice.
author here. i'm deeply, genuinely grateful that you all care enough to revisit and discuss this decade-old work. special thanks to throwayyy479087 for stirring some shit on my behalf, saving me the work of creating a sock puppet just to cast shade and spread rumors. i'd be happy to answer any questions if you have them.

That is pretty incredible and all the more interesting given his colleague's purported background of being recruited and trained as part of some soviet cold war psychic force.

It's funny... On one hand, I don't believe in psychc phenomenon. But on the other, I have certainly seen and experienced some things in my life that are very difficult to explain.

I've become a lot more aware over time though of the very subtle ways in which information can leak about things. People are often awash in information which they are totally oblivious to.

Here's my theory: Elizabeth was charged with Investor Fraud - which probably means she told investors "here is a product that is awesome"

The employees knew they had the product and had various vantage points about how well it worked - but none of them knew what promises Elizabeth was making or how poorly the entire product performed
This is what the internet, and our tax dollars, are for. Warms my heart, puts a grin on my face.
How experienced is your director? It sounds like there’s a (mutual?) lack of trust. If that’s the case, there’s not much there to build on.
It's also very hard to tell an enthusiastic supporter of a regime from someone paid or imprisoned by the regime.

IE I used to think the phrase "lifting a billion people out of poverty" was a dead giveaway for state-sponsored PRC shills.

Then it occurred to me: anyone who had heard that phrase enough, and was sympathetic to it, would naturally (and often times subconsciously) repeat it.
Definitions are what matter, they're the reason you can use words and I can understand what you mean by them.

800 years is also a lot of time for genetic drift to occur. If it’s not being actively selected for anymore, it can end up being in increasingly smaller parts of the population.
True, this very much may the common experience of the community I stayed in, but it was not advertised as such, nor was it priced that way either.
Thanks for the corrections.

Some examples of the processes followed by the authors - there's some terms in there I don't understand, but perhaps they aren't complicated to everyone else.

"Structured data on diagnoses, symptoms and referrals are recorded using SNOMED CT coding terminology. Selection of SNOMED CT codes for data extraction was conducted by a team of clinical researchers using an inhouse developed software platform called Code Builder, with systematic searching of existing code lists, reference to the SNOMED CT terminology browser and through clinical knowledge and discussion. Data extraction was performed using the data extraction for epidemiological research (DExTER) tool for automated clinical epidemiological studies.

"To control for confounding, each patient infected with SARS-CoV-2 was propensity score-matched with up to four patients with no recorded evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection using a logistic regression model including the covariates listed in the covariates section below and a caliper width of 0.2. The SMD between patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and patients with no recorded evidence of infection was reported for each variable before and after matching, and a variable with SMD > 0.1 after matching was considered to indicate imbalance in baseline characteristics. Kernel density plots were drawn for the two groups before and after matching to check the distribution of propensity scores."

Compare against dismissive comments proposing this is all coincidental, or the data set / study is is useless because the 2-page summary article mentions 'self-reporting' (it feels this phrase has been grossly misunderstood in this thread), and some casual claims that all long COVID is psychosomatic, etc.

EDIT: I don't think it's an 'appeal to authority' when you defer to expertise of the authors who've detailed their data & processes -- that's more a logical fallacy when you claim an opinion is valid because of who the author(s) is/are.
I think this is a different case.

This sounds more like profit optimization. Maybe it is true that it is acceptable to have x% vacancy if it means that your overall occupied rental price remains higher.

An analogy here would be if you're running a hot dog stand, you start selling hot dogs for $10 instead of $5, and have greater unsold hot dogs but higher overall profit.

The 12.9” is a huge, quality canvas for drawing or viewing photos and videos. It’s great for entertaining kids: make a drawing together, look through photos, or open a children’s book.

Yet for its size it is agile and light, easy to carry. My laptop is far less agile.

Edit to add: it was also my only computer at university. I typed up papers with a magic keyboard sitting on my lap - a comfortable setup for long sessions.
Nah, what I'm saying is that huge numbers of people, today, trust a DNSSEC verifying DNS server, often one run by Google or Cloudflare, and thanks to DoH that "last mile" connection (from a client to a trusted DNS server) is secured. We're actually more or less done.

It's neither "top down" nor "bottom up", it's horses for courses. (Is that phrase clear? I have a feeling it might not translate but I'm not sure what the equivalent is in American)
Whoa. This is almost unbelievable. This smacks of a Capt. America like drug. Article claims "no side effects" and the "system" they used to discover this compound sure sounds like AI.

"Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) used a novel drug screening system in a recent study that was published in the journal Bone Research to identify a compound that replicates the changes in muscle and bone that arise from exercise."

Also, this sounds like a possible cure for Boneitis for that 80s guy from Futurama.

Both the US and the USSR had very little to lose at the scale of their economies investing in "out there" research. At worst it cost money. It had potential to lead to unexpected discovery, mask other more serious work, or in an extremely unlikely universe provide a "missile gap" class advantage.

The guy was a professional animal trainer. The soviets had dogs trained for war. Who knows what other side benefits he might uncover in animal behaviour?

Clowns are taken very seriously in some cultures as licenced lords of misrule. Soviet circus acts toured the world in my childhood in the sixties. Projecting modern aesthetic on what he did before this work would be counter-productive. The British employed Maskelyne, a well known illusionist in their camouflage unit in the middle east. He made inflated claims about some mirror and light trick defending Cairo, but searchlights absolutely were used in wartime for offensive and non AA reasons.

Personally, i have never believed PSI and assume almost all animal communication is "clever hans" but non communication animal intelligence research has confounded much of what I think about animal reasoning. Just not what I think about PSI.
At my jobs I've seen bosses decide what works based on whatever they thought is best. How much do they get feedback from real users? Never. They're the boss so they must know what's right.

I assume this is the work of one major decision-maker at Mozilla who either likes this stuff or assumes that other people do.
Yeah, this is all well-established. When you buy an apartment building you know the legal rent for every apartment. That only changes by a percentage amount every year, and the amounts are available historically, and landlord reps make up a big chunk of the board that sets those percentages.

There’s no mystery here, everyone knows the score, it’s just that landlords try to take advantage.
Each of their lines are geared towards a specific market. The Lemur is the "portable" model, where weight and battery life are the top priority. They do also emphasize that it is a capable device in its own right, but it has a slightly smaller screen and lower max specs than the more powerful lines (14", up to 40gb ram vs 64 for others).

I wouldn't doubt that the claims are real; I can easily go a whole day of programming without needing a recharge on my lg gram, which was likewise advertised as having oodles of hours. If I'm careful with my usage, I could easily push 16. As it is, I've got two instances of chrome (different profiles), three instances of VS code, a server running, docker and postgres in the background, sitting at around 48% battery remaining and I haven't plugged in to charge in about 8 hours or so.
Anything that you can easily checkpoint/finish quickly, while needing a ton of computers to do, map-reduce type jobs.

For example, let's say you need to process a few million images, each taking a few seconds to process. You can start a manager task that distributes images, and a pool of interruptible workers, when a worker dies you just reissue the images to another.

We've worked closely with our team at AWS to ensure we are following best practices. The consensus has been that 4+ AZs and 12 instance types is sufficient diversification.

We also heavily leverage managed services for state.
I used to do a lot of solitary road trips exploring America. I noticed that drivers in the car next to me could tell when I was looking at them even though they were staring straight ahead. And they would notice me looking at them all at once and their head would snap to look at me. I tried experimenting with this by looking at them from further back. I never did figure out how they knew.
I suspect in most cities it is the land that is valuable not the house. Even the 1940s-1950s houses where I live are selling for 800k. I suspect that an empty lot would sell for slightly more since they get immediately torn down and something bigger put up whenever they sell. And I am just in some random suburb of a city that is not even close to top 10 in terms of population or wealth.
Yep I've had the exact same experience. I love that pop is setup out of the box to work well with flatpaks and flathub too--I rarely have to mess with out of date debs, the pain of snaps, etc. The gnome extensions they pack in for tiling windows, adding desktop icons, are fantastic too. It just works.

It's been discussed in many places on the internet before, but CGP Grey has a lot of profound misunderstandings around the Columbian Exchange and the new world as a whole. Some of it is that he's not an expert, some of it is that he chose particularly bad sources (e.g. the zoonotic hypothesis he cribbed almost directly from one of Diamond's older papers), and some of it is that there's a lot of misinformation about this particular topic on the internet.

The reality is that dense urban settlements (many without good hygiene), domestic animals (e.g. parrots), unsanitary conditions, and widespread trade/social networks all existed, subject to the usual caveats of time and place. We even have strong evidence of highly contagious diseases like Kirsten Bos' paper on zoonotic Tuberculosis in ancient Peru.

There are still many open questions regarding why the Columbian Exchange happened the way it did. Academics are still trying to work out the truth through centuries of mistaken narratives about what went down, including the now-suspect idea that there was ever a single continent-wide epidemic wave. We can reject some ideas (like innate genetic susceptibility) on the basis of scanty evidence, but most of them are hard to definitively reject and few people have the knowledge base to write books challenging the dunning-kruger type academics that are comfortable talking about continent-wide phenomena with simple narratives.

Covid made the social dynamics of epidemics a particularly interesting research topic to grad students, so maybe there'll be more consensus about big questions in a few years.
The Ghost in the Machine is beautiful.
You get time from all sorts of technically reversible things though! Even in a totally classical universe entropy gives us an arrow of time. Under MWI decoherence is reversible, but is functionally irreversible in the same way entropy is.

You're right though, I very much doubt QFT as it stands is the bottom. However, that doesn't mean the current debate is stupid. Whatever underlies QM, you'd still expect the measurement effect to also be an emergent property. The debate about whether atoms existed is still meaningful even though we now know that "atom" isn't a perfectly natural category. Indeed there are protons and such underling the physics, but the protons do pretend to be atoms much of the time, and thus pretend to do all the things we use atoms to predict.

Similarly, MWI and collapse (as well as, if less so, weirder theories) can be good explanations as to why a quantum phenomenon occurs even if there's also a reason they happen.

On what basis do you say that? You seem to be in conflict with Israeli law on this one, and I think on a moral level that is a bit shaky. If your art could be appreciated by disabled people, it seems a bit questionable to assert that there is a 'right' to exclude them.

I want to be clear - I think all this regulatory interference is doing more harm than good. But I don't see why this case is different because it is working on behalf of disabled people rather than ...

Maslows hierarchy is at best a sketch model. That said, the instability of the bottom layers for longterm unemployed people bring need/want distinctions into sharp focus.

I am told that care kits for street people have varying responses by sex and age. My company does a lot of flying and we generate a lot of airline socks and small lotion and hygiene surplus. We're told a lot of homeless and rough sleeper women appreciate them, a few men, and that mostly they look to opportunistic ways to convert any non immediately useful, non food items to cash. I take this as a strong indication that poverty alone is the true fundamental here.

During lockdown almost all rough sleepers in my town were housed, grossly inadequate housing, but given shelter, and were given enough funds to do things like basic dental and glasses or shoes which fit. I am told for many it was transformative.

When sound advice is to remove teeth and avoid future cost, maslow changes. When fixing teeth is transformative maslow changes.

OK other than the several holy wars and church schisms and most of the physicists of the early 1900s including Einstein. And quantum-woo obsessed people on the internet. The point is that all the quantum stuff still adds up to mostly deterministic classical physics. Maybe only quantum physicists get to have free will, so long as they make decisions based on the exact results of their experiments?

> Yes. Because if not each and every restaurant, who gets to pick and choose? If the restaurant owners, none. If the disabled, all. And there isn't really an in-between is there? So all is better than none.

I think this is why some laws state “reasonable accommodations”. If a ramp is impossible or unaffordable with the restaurants margins, what should be the course of action? Should the restaurant close? If so, that doesn’t actually improve accessibility.

The current law may already use this barometer and the horror story examples may be overblown, but at least this seems like a reasonable way to approach things.
