Personally knowing the hit rate of these ML models & their non-explanatory nature, weighed against their low cost.. I'd argue they should be used as a default automated second opinion to radiologist opinion.

Recently went through a pet cancer death so though medical imaging, diagnostic testing, specialist escalation and second opinion workflows are pretty fresh in my mind. There is a shortage of specialists, backlog for appointments and many astonishingly bad practitioners out there.
I assume that the HN mod team (or maybe just dang) can find out if you are doing this. The HN submission algorithm is very sensitive to small numbers of upvotes early on in a submission's life. Using a few alt accounts to boost your posts would have an outsized effect here.

Strange I’ve never worked for unionized workplaces, from retail and fast food to high tech, and they were wonderful places to work with happy coworkers. It’s almost like your vision of a miserable capitalist hell hole is a fantasy, while socialist places like Europe are declining in living standards.
That’s good to know! I was hoping to play with this feature with just a headset or earbuds that aren’t considered to be hearing aids. I’m actually surprised that AirPods have been deemed to be hearing aids.

I agree that's it's possible to create objective collapse theories that are arbitrarily difficult to falsify, but the difference between objective collapse and regular old decoherence due to interaction with the environment has experimentally measurable implications. In particular, if you expect a certain probability of objective collapse in a certain period of time, then do an experiment with a coherence time longer than that, while keeping your system carefully isolated from interaction with the environment. Then if the wavefunction collapses anyway, that would prove objective collapse and disprove many worlds.

Aren't these two things contradictory?

1. "If the speech is legal in a country , then it's legal on Twitter"

Maybe also "and responding quickly to actual issues of safety".
I would as well... but how would you actually target an actual shill? You'd need a dataset of confirmed shills.

If you have a dataset of people who you speculate to be shills, doesn't that trend close to a dataset of people who's opinion you don't like?

To be clear, I'm not saying that wouldn't be personally valuable... but uh, if I was creating a system like this for myself, I'd curate that dataset VERY carefully (assuming I could even get the system to work :\\\)
You can stream 4K on common network connections (20mbps), and 4K TVs are cheap. While I agree that it’s premium, just because many people don’t notice the quality difference, the real problem is the competition. Disney Plus, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime (and even Peacock!) have 4K HDR on their basic paid plans. Netflix is drastically behind here.
Typefully is a great app by the way, I use it often to compose and schedule Twitter threads.
Bought a new home in a community that isn't finished (signed contract last November, closed in July). The prices they are advertising for the new homes under construction seems to be holding firm, but it also looks like those homes are sitting on "available" far longer than my street did. I had an investor come to my door asking about the area; the price he was telling me he was quoted was eye-poppingly low.

POS terminal should support RFID [0] contactless payment to be able to talk with a card or phone, but the main thing is "Payment Tokenisation Specification"[1] and it should be supported by the bank of the merchant both in processing and legal agreements.

iOS device doesn't store your credit card (and it can't, otherwise it would be trivial to copy cards), but a token which is tied to your card.

That's not my experience. The last two hotels I stayed at -- Doubletree Hilton in Dallas and Shelborne in Miami -- had daily housekeeping without any request. But perhaps that's just a fluke. Maybe it depends on which city you are visiting, too.

Interestingly when I was looking up the info on the Doubletree, they mentioned something about housekeeping every X days (not every day), but when I arrived, it was daily. I didn't make any request for it, it could be that the website is just out of date, as I suspect this is more about staffing than anything else.
Can't imagine that will last, unless there's something particularly weird about the US. Pretty much everywhere that accepts credit cards also accepts contactless now, it's the same thing.

Some rent control systems have a safeguard against jacking the rent, then lowering it: The prior tenant gets right of first refusal when it comes back on the market within N years.

I can imagine other creative ways to achieve the goal. However, I'm having difficulty wraping my head around your scenario.

The landlord decides they want an 18 year old Liliputian, but accidentally rents it to an 85 year old Belfuscian instead? Later, they realize their error, and temporarily jack the price up to kick out the Belfuscian they were totally fine renting it to earlier?

Isn't it more likely that, instead of suddenly becoming racist/ageist, the landlord is trying to get rid of them for some reason that became apparent after they signed the lease (late payments, noise, illegal activity, etc...)?

Only the ROI of the probability of 6 consecutive tournaments was miscalculated, not the engine correlation percentages.

Fischer at his best during 20 consecutive winning games at his peak performance had an average engine correlation of 72%, while Niemann's average was 73% across 5 tournaments. I just saw this: Magnus Carlson's average engine correlation across 5 tournaments in 2021 (roughly the same period as Niemann's 5) was 66.48%[1].

Niemann conspicuously appears to be a superior chess player at 19yo than both Bobby Fischer at 27yo during the peak performance of his career and a much better chess player than Magnus Carson at 30yo while he was and is reigning World Champion.

I'm a Linux idiot, just got sick of Windows, and took the plunge in 2016. (After some ill-fated tinkering in 1996 with Slackware, but we don't speak of that.) I started with Ubuntu and had a pretty good time for a year or two, until a dist-upgrade broke everything. Luckily /home/ was easy to restore from backup.

So I was fine for another two years on Ubuntu until another dist-upgrade broke everything again. Sensing a pattern, I decided to give Pop a try.

I'm now about a year into Pop and sure enough, a few weeks ago a dist-upgrade broke a lot of things, but unlike Ubuntu, I was able to find System76's tech support page, I ran the commands it suggested, and everything's fine again!

https://support.system76.com/articles/package-manager-ubuntu...

Miraculous, I tell you.

I still can't figure out why there are multiple versions of some things in the Pop Shop, but they all seem to work, so I'm not complaining, it's just weird. Someday I'll figure out this whole tiling-windows thing, but I think that's for people with bigger screens so I turned it off so my alt-tab reflexes work again.

In general, it just works, and that's more than I can say for Windows or Ubuntu at this point.

The context that I am operating under "artists wanting to make things affordable for ordinary people, at their own expense no less, should not have to battle scalpers to make it happen".
I think it cuts both ways though, over-testing vs under-testing, as the question is when do people actually get access to imaging, and is there more pro-active imaging screening we should have done.

A good friend recently had an unrelated routine surgical procedure go awry, that lead to a CT scan to check on the damage. The CT scan ended up finding stage 2 cancer, larger than a billiard ball, in an organ that is going to be surgically removed. Our friend had absolutely no symptoms of any kind related to the cancer. There is no reason he would have gotten a CT scan other than the unrelated surgical accident. Imagine in 5 years he finally had had some symptoms, they do the scan & and find its stage 4, sorry.

The fact that we only have routine screening regiments for a handful of cancers (breast, colon, prostate, skin) is something that I've been thinking about a lot lately.
I locked in February on a 180-day lock: 3.25%. There were some documentation issues that I had to rely on a third-party (the IRS) to resolve, so I had to start looking elsewhere. Rocket Mortgage was able to lock me at 5.25% (around April/May) - this would cost me an additional $400 each month. (Fortunately the original lender was able to make to adjust what they were asking for - it wasn't a matter of not closing the loan, but it meant they had to hold it rather than selling it while the IRS gets their act together)

Clickbait. It's better to share stuff like this on Facebook.
Some stories I’ve heard over the years when I was at Apple Retail. I cannot confirm or deny any of these are true and maybe someone here can corroborate them.

- employees used to steal Steve’s license plates as a joke so that’s why he was always leasing cars. The maximum grace period for getting plates was six months so he’d change Mercedes every six months.

- Steve used to park in the handicap spot up front at IL1.

- there was gourmet chocolate milk for Steve stashed in the back of refrigerators at Cafe Macs. Yes I know he was vegan but I questioned the story as well. Apparently it was a secret indulgence only a few knew about.

- he had his own connection from PAIX (Palo Alto Internet Exchange) to his house.

- he had his own mail server at Apple.

- an employee with the corporate email steve@ before Steve’s return was asked to give up his email address for Steve.

- Steve had his own personal IS&T person to go to his house or work on things for him. On average they lasted a few months before Steve asked that tech be fired (for whatever reason), and HR just shuffled them somewhere else in the company.

- if you were in an elevator with Steve after coming back from a smoke break, you were likely in deep shit and probably out of a job.

I remember using an old company directory tool app for employees and looking up Steve. It said he report to Woz. When you looked up Woz, it said he reported to Steve.

> Why does it matter if someone is in a rush or not? Why does it matter if someone thinks is/isn't fun or is/isn't passionate or doesn't want to learn more languages? Why does it matter if someone is satisfied with learning just 5% of the language? I have total respect for anyone spending a weekend learning python code to solve a problem and then doing nothing after that.

Because it matters. The quality of your work depends on it. Having respect for someone coding on a weekend is one thing. Believing that it doesn’t matter if you occasionally dabble in programming or on a level of Norvig is another.
I really tried to like the window tiling, and I definitely see the advantages, but didn't quite get to the point at which the shortcuts were second nature.

Riding subways in big metropolitan cities in any city in the world is one of the most glowing displays of humanity I ever see. Everyone doing their thing, club kids coming home while businessmen are going to work, someone dancing or singing, other people barely awake, 10 languages in one car.

Sure we're all just trying to get to our next thing, or home, some happy about it, some sad about it, some just tired. But I don't think you'll find so many ages, religions, languages, classes, reasons or moods shoved into one little moving car as a subway and for the most part people not only use it just fine in trusting ways, but deep down, like being among the crush of just humans being human. At least if it's not 100 degrees and the train is running late again.

But even then sometimes, you suffer together, not because of each other.
I may have misunderstood one or both of your numerical dismissals, then.

As I read it, your first post suggested this was a blip, similar to some subset of the 8000 people in a village that thought they had increased cancer risk from a fission power plant accident.

I wasn't sure what you meant by 'paltry numbers', given the study was across 2.5m patients.

This post is now saying that (extrapolating) the 2 million people in the UK with long COVID are not compelling to you, either because you believe there's no connection to COVID, or because that's not many people -- I'm not sure which?
The problem when trying to optimize resource usage while unemployed is decision fatigue.

In the end, after stressing out about every little expense, you just give up and make very suboptimal and irrational decisions.

I know github copilot gets a lot of flak, but as a user it has been an immense enhancement to my productivity, especially when working with frameworks or languages I am not super familiar with. It is so much easier to write a comment on what I want and then get an implementation that just works than to google something, get a half-matching stackoverflow answer, and adjusting it to do what I want.

I consider it one of the few projects that use modern models to do something that is directly beneficial to me.
I should have specified 2x real income e.g. income indexed for inflation.

If your parents started working in '78 they have likely had a nearly miraculous wealth transfer from owning a home in a world with declining real interest rates. As you noted, their income rose 650% due to inflation - and their housing cost was likely fixed.
Another thing that makes it unique is that it is packaged for a wide variety of platforms, including:

- Linux Flatpak
- Alpine Linux
- Arch Linux / Manjaro (AUR)
- CentOS / Alma / RHEL (Copr)
- Fedora (Copr)
- Debian / Ubuntu (MPR)
- Gentoo
- NixOS
- openSUSE
- Raspbian
- macOS and macOS legacy
- macOS homebrew
- Windows setup
- Windows portable zip
- Windows winget
- Windows Chocolatey
- Windows Scoop

The Flatpak means it's currently the only alternative Minecraft launcher that works on the Steam Deck and Fedora Silverblue without needing to use `pacman` or `rpm-ostree`.

I've never seen a desktop application made after 2010 that is simultaneously distributed for so many platforms before.

There are pretty good (albeit probabilistic) methods for adversarial* analysis - mainly focusing on posting metrics and interaction behavior, with content/semantic analysis as a second tier (although many exceptions apply).
