This is one of those examples where we all know how bad it is, we all know they run a scam, have a monopoly, etc. etc. and yet we keep letting them do what they do because the US stopped caring about its antitrust laws pretty much after the whole AT&T thing. In fact, if anything the idea of each market segment having one top player buying up anyone who gets big enough to cut into revenue has become aspirational and admired as much if not more than it was in the Gekko days.
You're certainly opinionated about something that it doesn't appear that you know very much about.

In-app notifications, SMS and web push notifications are all important means of communicating events that clinicians need to be aware of.

This is delivered via a PWA so that it works on the wide variety of devices we see across patients and clinicians.

Many elderly patients are confused by native apps and app store experiences. Many of them refuse to use an "app". Additionally, things like accessibility are problems that have been solved effectively on the web but can be more challenging with native apps.

Many clinical devices don't support app stores or installation of native applications.

When you've tried to implement reliable health care systems for elderly populations, clinical settings, mobile in-field settings and physicians in a HIPAA regulated space perhaps you'll be able to tell me a better way.

Your assumption that we use any technology because "we want to" indicates that you don't have much experience with this stuff, perhaps it would be better for you to reserve judgement in the future until you understand a subject a bit more thoroughly.
Only the CC credits are cheaper, yeah. But factoring in the other 2 years of undergrad and it's much more expensive than a bootcamp. Still far, far cheaper than 4+ full years of undergrad, though!
The only thing they beat smartphones at is optical zoom. And that's pretty important and one of the few areas where smartphones still lag and can't crack due to their size. Add 10x optical zoom to a new iPhone and watch it crush all former sales records.
Don't fire them all, but coming close probably wouldn't hurt. As evidence I offer the below.

My rural college and surroundings depended on a student-staffed fire department to for emergency medical services, fire-prevention and protection.

- Because many emergencies need a quick response, volunteering students lived behind the fire-department in a dilapidated college-owned building. ~30 meters door-to-door.

- Housing on-campus attached us to an administrative process. Volunteers registered as a special interest group focused on community service. This was an administrative formality to house firefighters next to their fire station to protect life and property.

- The special interest process occurred before the lottery to allocate block housing. I was confident that volunteers' 1K+ hours of combined community service and recent suppression of a small dorm fire served as proof positive that we were a bona fide community service organization.

- According to the student housing administrator we were not! We did not adequately perform (paraphrasing) on-campus education related to our community service and were to be housed together in a building several minutes instead of seconds from the fire station. All attempts at rational resolution were pointless/ineffectual.

- This standoff persisted for weeks until the mayor and a trustee got wind of it, putting the matter to bed.

Net, a campus administrator wanted to endanger thousands of people by arbitrarily increasing a fire department's response times over a (deliberately?) misguided interpretation of our inadequate provision of on-campus services a few weeks after we put out a fire in a dorm. We also started burning a mock dorm room on the central quad's lawn after this to amply demonstrate our on-campus education efforts.
Baby got back in Olde English.

I don't know about Harvard (EDIT: now I do, it's the same), but Yale's policy on this is that they do not expect students to take loans, and that the university will provide 100% of the demonstrated financial aid need for an admit.

> It's even worse than that. The way common distros work is not "devs package software", it's "devs convince distro to pick up the package and maintain a fork".

> Of course, you can run your own APT or RPM repo, but that actually asks your users for even more control of their systems (since you now have a way to get any new version more or less automatically installed on their system in perpetuity), and it makes it even harder for them to install your software.

Technically incorrect as you can put (at least in apt) filters on what's allowed from the repo

Also, you want to have your cake and eat it too.

Either there is some 3rd party to look at package quality (even if "quality" in this case is "does not fuck up other stuff" and "uninstalls properly"),

or you trust developer to not fuck you over when they update the package

or you don't and only install raw .deb file.

> You can also bundle your software as a .deb + .rpm + .[...] file instead of a .sh file, but there is really not that much difference.

Main difference is that package can require system deps (so you will be sure that they are not removed on accident) and you don't need to write uninstaller for it.
Any suggestions for engineering observability?
Frost Engine is notorious, as is whatever was used in Cyberpunk 2077. They're apparently going to abandon it after that disaster.
That's why my bro-in-law left being a train engineer. As the new guy, he had no control of his schedule and was constantly on call. He couldn't plan any time off with us or his friends, and it caused too much stress in his life. Something as simple as a consistent schedule would have done wonders for his mental health and allowed him to continue doing something that he had wanted to do for so long.
These politicians and media outlets are either intentionally gaslighting the victims of this fraud or we are living in a simulation and this is some kind of test.
As I got into my 30's, I eventually hit a point where my short-term memory was embarrassingly poor. My brain simply wasn't what it used to be. I started taking a multivitamin most days, and it dramatically improved.

A coworker confided similar fears he was experiencing early-onset Alzheimer's or something. I shared that I had similar experiences and getting more vitamins helped.

I don't know which vitamin(s) I was missing, specifically. I don't know how common this is. But a simple daily multivitamin and a consult with a doctor might fix things.
Also, it's survivorship bias, to a degree. Being nice is just as much tool as being smart, and you can wield it with intent that is just as malicious. Truly successful people have to wield many tools successfully, it's only natural that one of the easiest to master is commonly used.

You never know what people's intent is, and you should assume the best until proven otherwise, but like you say, a spade is a spade, and being nice is useful to the people being nice.
>Standardized testing is the reason why India – despite its billion strong population and heavy cultural emphasis on science and engineering – is unable to produce a single ounce of innovation.

Says someone whose country brain-drains Indian innovators to do the actual work for which nepotistic grifters from Harvard take the credit!

I'm a little confused... I feel like most of these exist in some form already? I've seen chat likes, message indicators, notification reply, homescreen before.

Tagging in a chat app seems like it's trying to make a chat app be something it's not. Unless I'm wildly unfamiliar with how many people use chatting. (totally possible!)

That said, the timeline jump is the idea in here that made me say, "ok that is slick" I feel like I sometimes want to go back and find a photo someone sent me several days ago and I, well, don't even bother because I won't even remember exactly WHEN it was sent.

Just a detail, but sulfur and nitrogen oxides are not particulate emissions.

Sulfur comes from low quality fuel, but nitrogen and particulate emissions depend a lot on the engine too.
For what it's worth, that's configurable under the gear icon. I changed it from "25/3 any technology" to "1000/100 fiber" and most of the green dots on the map area I was zoomed into changed to red.
For now, Twitter can ban whoever it wants, but I don't think that banning Ye really aligns with free speech absolutism. Mandatory disclaimer: I found Ye's comments highly offensive (and stupid), but that is not my standard for censorship.
Could be reaching for a poetic descriptor of the domain of HN’s influence: There’s quite a bit of advocacy and scholarly material that metaphorically divides the world into a rich North and a poor South.
The numbers have been run on simulations of large wide cores, and the benefit of RV-C is pretty clear. Although since the release of the M1, I agree that there's probably a need for a BOOMv4 to publicly explore the problem space.

Going into rumor town: my understanding is that all of the companies working on high perf core are implementing RV-C, including those made of ex-Apple employees who worked on their cores. The tiny bit of extra decode complexity more than pays dividends in I$ pressure (which from a design perspective can let you get away with less I$, and therefore lower latency I$).
This statistic is highly influenced by income tier, donations to religious organisations like churches, the tax code and as a form of a social safety net that might otherwise be missing.
There are no corners to hide in. The entire planet is infested with homo sapiens.

(For the record: I don't hate humans. I just think the current supply is more than adequate, and that in the long run it would not be a bad thing if there were fewer then 8 billion of us alive at the same time.)
Well, I avoid custom repos; I used to have a couple installed on one system a few years ago, but evidently I'm not using "most software".

You're right about Debian, that it moves at a glacial pace. For some of us, that's a benefit. Debian (main) is noted for its stability, and people running services that already work fine, prize stability over new features.

FWIW I switched to Devuan on most machines. I think Debian was over-hasty in jumping on the bandwagon. But Devuan rides on Debian's coattails; I still rely completely on Debian's policies and release processes. I consider myself a Debian user.
Most laws that restrict content on social media sites are agnostic about where the site is hosted.
So this looks like a further convergence of the tensorflow and pytorch APIs (the lower-level APIs at least). Tensorflow was designed with compilable graphs as the primary execution model and as part of their 2.0 release, they redesigned the APIs to encompass eager execution as well. Pytorch is coming from the other end, with eager execution being the default and now emphasizing improved tools for graph compilation in their 2.0 release. The key differentiator going forward seems to be that tensorflow is using XLA as their compiler and pytorch is developing their own toolset for compilation. As someone who cares far more about performance than API ergonomics, the quality of the compiler is the main selling point for me and I'll gladly switch over to whatever framework is winning in the compiler race. Does anyone know of any benchmarks comparing the performance of pytorch's compilers with XLA?
I can relate to what you’re saying. My memory was never stellar, but it took a hit during the pandemic, I suspect. Some of the reasons you’ve mentioned (more sedentarism, a certain level of depression) has certainly affected many of us.
I agree with this, and generally this is why I'm always early.
> No shit they are better for users, that's their entire fucking point!

I'm not even sure we disagree about anything, and you're yelling? FWIW I package and distribute my software but for a long time I didn't.

My position is very simple -- it's always easier if someone else does the work for you. If someone chooses not to distribute with a package, that's fine. If it bothers you, the choice is to build a package spec and pipeline for that project, not to moan about it. But packages are not an entitlement of a non-paying user. That user is perfectly entitled not to use your software, because complaining about the packages you may or may not have available is stupid, and not the devs problem.
But Twitter has long supported allowing speech in different regions based on local laws.

For example, I had set my region to Germany because Twitter would automatically block more content for German users (due to Nazi content being illegal in Germany).

So, is your imaginary conclusion that Elon has changed Twitter's policy from: "speech is restricted for users in a locale according to the local laws" to "speech is restricted platform wide according based on the most restrictive laws that exist in the world"?

It would seem very anti-free speech to me if this new system allows China to determine which content is available on Twitter, or we impose the UK's onerous libel laws on all American users.

ChatGPT has create a poem to cheer up my sick girlfriend. I have written a bit how she feels, what she has (just the flu) and what I did to cheer her up. ChatGPT created a decent poem with exactly fitted my description but was a bit dramatic, she's not dying just tired of being sick. I have asked ChatGPT to create a less dramatic version that rhymes more and ChatGPT just did it. Amazing. I have also googled parts of it but didn't find them! This certainly counts as novel or I would also be totally unable to create novel poems about my sick girlfriend (because I have read poems about girlfriends before?!).

A good idea when dismissing those machine learning models is to check whether a human would pass your standards. I miss the aspect when the dismissive "they only interpolate or memorise" arguments come. I am also quite bounded by my knowledge or what I have seen. Describe something I have never seen to me and ask me to draw it, I would fail in a quite hilarious way.

Hilariously, ChatGPT is also quite bad at arithmetic, like myself. I thought this is what machines are supposed to be good at!
> I just don't understand how you can expose yourself to such risk if you are supposed to be this super smart MIT graduate.

SBF publicly stated (well before the collapse) that he operated his life under a complete disregard of risk in pursuit of optimized expected value with no risk premium.

While this is probably a rationalization, and he might well have actually been something of a risk junkie, even taken at face value its not surprising how he ended up exposed to massive risk that most people would have seen aa unwarranted even given the large potential rewards if it all worked out.
Yes, you are correct. The explanation does't dive deep into the AI part of the system. It talks about the sensors in the football and the video cameras tracking everything happening on the pitch.
If we memoized every computed function and distributed it as a dht, why not? Sounds good and secure.
> Cameras usually take longer to start and get ready to take a shot

What? If you set up a camera and a phone on the table and do a timed run from the moment of reaching out and grabbing it to having a well-focused image taken, the camera will win 100% of the time. Phones with their touch screen and laggy UI are incredibly slow in comparison.

> or run out of battery sooner if you keep them on all the time

The exact opposite. A camera will last for months on a single charge if not heavily used.
Senders will send fluff emails generated from prompts like "tell them okay, but in a polite business speak", and recipients will use AI to extract information out of that.
Not banning a very public figure for posting a swastika would have killed (what is left of) Twitter ads.
Twitter extends beyond USA.
> Even when Android launched, it was open and these stores carried Android apps as well.

Android is still open and you still absolutely can DIY your app distribution. You can completely ignore the existence of Google and their services if you so desire. As a user, you can set up your new phone completely offline, then disable all Google services, and only then give it an internet connection.
He also appeared on Alex Jones and was accompanied by white supremacist Nick Fuente and decided to go all in.

The rapper said: “I see good things about Hitler … Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.”

Jones replied: “The Nazis were thugs.”

“But they did good things too,” Ye said. “We gotta stop dissing the Nazis all the time.”

“Oh my goodness … just because you don’t like one group doesn’t mean –” Jones said, clearly uncomfortable. Ye interrupted: “I love Jewish people. But I also love Nazis.”

“I don’t think Hitler was a good guy,” Jones stated later. Ye replied: “There’s a lot of things that I love about Hitler. A lot of things.”
These statements can all be simultaneously true:

1. It is foolish to walk down a dark alley flashing wads of cash;

2. Anyone who robs another person who is walking down a dark alley flashing wads of cash deserves to be punished harshly;

3. If there's a pawn shop at the end of the alley that is knowingly selling guns to robbers, fencing the goods they rob from citizens, and enticing citizens to walk down the alley, they also deserve to be punished harshly;

4. If citizens are regularly being robbed, we should look for structural ways to create safety, such as lighting alleyways, reinstating bicycle patrols for police, &c.

The fact that it's foolish to invest in these ponzi schemes and outright robberies in no way dilutes the blame that these fraudsters deserve, along with the industry that has sprung up around them to profit from that fraud. And none of that invalidates the notion that regulations and enforcement seem like an awfully good idea.
Why is the wealth to count "the richest" measures only by the net worth of the richest in the city and not by some other more sensible measure? If I were to find myself in what's allegedly the richest city in the richest country I would be shocked to see even a single homeless person, let alone trash and rats everywhere. I think the word "richest" is being used weirdly or perhaps even incorrectly to describe NYC.
IMO for super high packet rate cases, DPDK would make more sense. For proxy protocol injection, this would be fine since you don't really care about a lot of the TCP stack, just keeping track of new connections, and doing the sequence number rewriting to account for the injected bytes. All of the congestion control etc can be handled by the endpoints.

Of course if HAProxy performs well enough, then that's still a million times easier.
As a former administrative staff member at Harvard (web developer in the IT department) for several years, I can't think of a single coworker who spent their days "just writing emails". This is complete and utter nonsense.

The administration is responsible for the entire operation of the university, outside of teaching. And it's a relatively large university with a lot of different divisions/schools. There's a LOT more to "administration" than writing emails and standing on stage at graduation!
I think GP was basically arguing "monopolies are universally bad, whomever wields them" as a counter to a sense of "Ticketmaster is bad because it's abusing its monopoly position". You seem to have interpreted it as "this is what all monopolies do, so it's fine". No, this is what all monopolies do, and that's why monopolies must go.
I think you miss their point which is that has led to a large number of security bugs. Because it is then path to exploits and sloppiness which then cannot be corrected because of backward compatibility or such.

It looks like some of these larger cases take a while to prosecute. Not saying there's no favoritism here, but FYI the Enron scandal unfolded in late 2001 and the current and former CEO Lay and Skilling's trial started more than four (4!) years later in early 2006.
Heck, dude, we don't even seem to be able to control an entity orders of magnitude _dumber_ than us.
I apologize in advance to other readers, but feeding this troll is sort of fun. I only have this one cookie left anyway.

In fact, yes, that is exactly how reviews should work, if there wasn't so many fake reviews that it's not helping. People have a tendency to review and especially comment on a review, if they have an issue with something. Even a product with 3 stars could actually be a 4.5 star overall.

The comments are more important than the number. Like with most 'metrics'. They can make you look but you really have to take a qualitative look after that. Take lots of Amazon reviews that are 1 star and if you read the review comment it says something along the lines of "Product came damaged in the box and Amazon support wouldn't replace it". Or 5 star reviews with text like "Arrived super fast, haven't had a chance to try it yet". The reviews are meant to be for the product not Amazon's service or shipping speed.

Likewise if someone buys say a fish knife and then comments with a 1 star review of "Useless, can't make proper feather sticks or split wood at the camp site." And then I may give a 5 star w/ comment "Awesome fish knife, cut up and filleted the fish I caught beautifully. Been using it for a year now and shows no signs of wear."
Thank you – I would recommend writing up a page with all the details on your docs because that would appease a whole lot of people that would be your target customer (like myself)

Although I might be biased cuz I'm a founder from a tech background so I want those details, but even with those details, I'm one of your target market but my worry with these kinds of products tends to be more about things like:

- am I adding an unreliable piece of infra to my stack? this is going to be a critical gatekeeper, so if this fails, not only is it like my DB being down, as the only method of decrypting my data, does it have the ability to fail in a way that results in permanent data loss (whereby I can't decrypt some subset of the data)

- if I had to yank this out, what's the process? will I be stuck?

- what are the chances of us doing something stupid and lock OURSELVES out of our own data? what guardrails are available there?

- what is the key management story? (which answers a lot of the above questions)

- is this roll-your-own crypto (not just which algorithm, but how the messages are constructed, etc) or something standard and vetted? Because there's no secret sauce to be had there, it's more in making all those OTHER elements easier for me.
Knowing blockchain = bad will keep you out of a lot of trouble. Also avoid anything that ends in "-verse". There are enough real opportunities around that you need not fear missing out.
Sleep is a superpower. Sleep is the strongest legal drug.
Interesting about the multivitamin. Any that you recommend?
