The medical industry prioritizes treatment of current problems instead of prevention because that's how incentives are set up in the system. Most treatments are delivered under under a fee-for-service model. Insurers and government generally won't pay to prevent a patient who isn't obese yet from becoming obese.

Any major changes will have to come at the state and federal government level. The medical industry can't do much to change that on it's own.
Which ones do they ban? I have Chrome, Orion, and the Onion browser on my phone, I'd think one of those would be on the ban list if such a thing existed.
Rob ter Horst's (The Quantified Scientist) test results compared against a fingertip pulse oximeter—which include at ground level and on flights—seem to indicate that they're okay for detecting whether your SpO2 readings are normal/abnormal. Basically it seems that if you get a one-off abnormal reading then it's possible for it to be a false positive, while you're unlikely to consistently get false positive results.

See the video for the Apple Watch Series 6 [0], and Series 7 [1].

There's also tests for the Series 8 [2], although it doesn't include data collected in a low oxygen environment.

Worth noting Microsoft actually distributes an "official" (quotes cause it was made by an employee seemingly out of their own desire, but it's distributed on MS's website) program that maps ctrl to capslock. Aptly named, Ctrl2cap [1]

Thought they really ought to just let you do this out of the box already. macOS lets you map modifier keys to other functions just in the regular old system settings.

And obesity skyrocketed because nobody knew the difference between a fat person and a skinny person before 1970? We knew what cancer was before 1970. We certainly knew what diabetes was. The simple fact is that people started getting sicker in the 70s.

For a very long time people have been going to the doctor when they feel sick. Oliver Cromwell consulted with doctors and was convinced that he was very ill. Later on we understand that he had bipolar disorder. When people feel sick they consult doctors and have been doing this for hundreds of years. An illness like diabetes presents very specific symptoms and doctors have been aware of diabetes for a very long time. The same is true for many kinds of cancer. And even mental illnesses as I have pointed out were recognized as medical ailments by people for hundreds of years. It wasn’t that we suddenly started diagnosing these things.

Also, there are communities of people who do not develop heart disease or insulin resistance or depression or cancer. The common thread between every community like this is that they live outside of the modern world and do not eat modern foods. They live in an old way. This is well documented. Yet another insane data point that people somehow ignore. There are literally people out there who basically do not get cancer heart disease or diabetes and nobody seems to think it’s important to get to the bottom of this, people like you who leave snide comments and contribute nothing. A worthless parasite.

So there are communities that live in the old way and do not get any of these diseases. We see that these diseases exploded for us around 1970. It couldn’t be more obvious.

I think everything I wrote is accurate. Bandera was a vicious anti-Semite. Bandera did collaborate with the Nazis. Bandera is venerated in Ukraine (since 2014 and especially since 2022). Maidan was made possible by armed support from neo-nazi political parties. Based on my reading, I do not think that Ukraine is a particularly anti-Semitic place, and I think that they like Bandera mainly because they see him as an anti-Russian fighter. But it's easy for me to understand why Germans are much more uncomfortable with the symbolism that I am.
Why not? I’m doing it right now. The infrastructure is versioned just like the app and I can say with certainty that we are on app version X and infra version Y.

I even have a nice little db/graph of what versions were in service at what times so I can give you timestamp -> all app and infra versions for the last several years.
Given the high rates of delegation, we could just make delegation the default. Then we could have people vote, not on issues directly, but to choose delegates who will "represent" them. We could even call them "representatives," and call the resulting system "representative democracy."

There, I fixed it! You don't need to have fixed geographical districts, of course; party-list proportional representation is pretty close to just deciding how you want to delegate your share of power.

"Well known"

That's not sufficient evidence
1) That sounds like a "nudge" i.e. you're already manipulating the system to encourage your preferred outcome.*

2) Also, how are you going to get something like that passed without the agreement of the delegates?

I'm going to start a new term: goldilocks repo.

Too small and you end up needing to deploy 5 apps to get your feature out and tests are difficult to coordinate.

Too large and the huge CI suite takes forever, people step on each others toes and it can be difficult to get things done. Access control and permissions is also difficult if you ever want to transfer ownership to another team.

The happy middle ground is to follow Conways law a little and have a few related apps/modules belonging to the same team in one repo and an a CI that has a simple integration test for all of them. It's fairly natural to achieve this if you don't have people following cargo cult memes.
> "Only paper ballots, with humans counting them, and humans observing them, can properly be "Proof of human""

In Glarus and Appenzell Innerrhoden the discussion, voting, and vote counting is live and in person. The votes are typically tallied by counting raised hands. Probably superior to counting paper ballots.

Exactly, and each time the theories are proven wrong, it's explained as a never-ending series of "oddities", yet the theories are never altered in any meaningful way other than ad-hoc additions to explain each "oddity".

At some point there needs to be a reckoning that, for instance, the current theories of star formation are essentially completely wrong.

You're the only one making a characterization involving trans people. Trans people use pronouns, so what? You're being transphobic because you're automatically associating trans people with the negative thing I said even though that association doesn't need to be made and you're the only one suggesting it.

This really isn't that hard. As I explained elsewhere, if you buy an iPhone that doesn't automatically make you an Apple fanboy. Likewise, if you're trans and you make it a point to use certain pronouns that doesn't make you a narcissist. I'm specifically calling out SOME people, not even trans people.

Some people absolutely do latch onto pronouns because it brings them attention. These are the people that want to be celebrated, because they're narcissists. I really can't make this any more clear that these are not just trans people. Do trans people tend to care more about pronouns? Sure. But that doesn't automatically mean they want to be celebrated for doing so.

Thanks. I now think that Mono would be a better choice. As we only do Integration and azure related stuff. So most of the code will be dependent on each other and reusable.

Is it also better if we have to use some open source dependency at multiple places?
> It’s a bit of a stretch to think “field work” would be used as a double entendre to evoke the meaning of a slave working in a field.

Calling it a stretch is way too generous. It's a lie. It's not based in reality at all, which means there is an ulterior motive. This is the interesting part.
My PhD qualifying exam was a nightmare but I'm not letting it define me
Unless we figure out a way to take measurements of areas outside of space-time to compare against (which seems quite impossible), it’s probably a question humanity will never answer.

It might be a question with no meaning: The universe interacts with nothing else. It spawned out of nothing, and its expansion is only meaningful if you’re inside the universe to see it happening.

It could be a question with a lot of meaning: perhaps the universe exists on top of some higher dimensional substrate that is conducive to big-bang style expanding universes. Maybe the reason the universe expands is only possible to answer by having access to the information of what it is expanding into.

It could be question impossible to wrap our heads around: Maybe the area outside the universe runs on metaphor, and our universe expands in a sense that would make more sense to a writer than a physicist.

Basically, endless sci-fi can be written about that question. But given we are (probably) restricted to staying within our universe’s laws of physics, it’s quite likely we’ll never really know.

Don't forget Lua! Can be easily sandboxed, meaning you have full control over which functionality is made available to the user. Also, the Lua interpreter itself fits in less than 300kB and can be easily embedded in any language that supports C extensions or FFI, so people don't even need to write their own parsers.
I mean you can do whatever you want, but versions, tags, releases seem like a lot less work.

What a peculiar statement. I’ve been using vim as my go-to editor for most of my 10-year career as a software developer. I am very productive. I haven’t read said book.

As a counter data point, I switched to vim precisely because constantly reaching for the mouse was causing my problems. I switched to a vertical mouse for a while and it helped, but still had problems. I switched to a connected split keyboard (Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000) and now use a fully split keyboard (moonlander).

Having the keyboard tilted and each half far away so that my shoulders aren't rotated inward was a huge win for me.

But I guess when I was using the mouse, I wasn't "slow". I would "rapidly" switch from keyboard to mouse as fast as I could. The longer it takes me to get something from my head onto the screen, the more distracting and exhausting I find it.

Eventually there will probably be neural links, and you just think something and it happens. Until then, vim is as close as I can get it.
I wouldn’t say that at all. I know several successful indiehacker types who started in the past five years and have had success with Rails. Several of them started with JS first, but Ruby is still growing on an absolute basis, despite having a smaller portion of the market as a whole than it did a decade ago.

I suspect a part of this is that startups that use Rails (or Phoenix or Laravel) don’t need as many devs as startups doing a mix and match of many libraries instead of a full stack web framework.

Pascal:

[…] But to show him another prodigy equally astonishing, let him examine the most delicate things he knows. Let a mite be given him, with its minute body and parts incomparably more minute, limbs with their joints, veins in the limbs, blood in the veins, humours in the blood, drops in the humours, vapours in the drops. Dividing these last things again, let him exhaust his powers of conception, and let the last object at which he can arrive be now that of our discourse. Perhaps he will think that here is the smallest point in nature. I will let him see therein a new abyss. I will paint for him not only the visible universe, but all that he can conceive of nature's immensity in the womb of this abridged atom. Let him see therein an infinity of universes, each of which has its firmament, its planets, its earth, in the same proportion as in the visible world; in each earth animals, and in the last mites, in which he will find again all that the first had, finding still in these others the same thing without end and without cessation. Let him lose himself in wonders as amazing in their littleness as the others in their vastness. For who will not be astounded at the fact that our body, which a little while ago was imperceptible in the universe, itself imperceptible in the bosom of the whole, is now a colossus, a world, or rather a whole, in respect of the nothingness which we cannot reach? He who regards himself in this light will be afraid of himself, and observing himself sustained in the body given him by nature between those two abysses of the Infinite and Nothing, will tremble at the sight of these marvels; and I think that, as his curiosity changes into admiration, he will be more disposed to contemplate them in silence than to examine them with presumption.

For in fact what is man in nature? A Nothing in comparison with the Infinite, an All in comparison with the Nothing, a mean between nothing and everything. Since he is infinitely removed from comprehending the extremes, the end of things and their beginning are hopelessly hidden from him in an impenetrable secret, he is equally incapable of seeing the Nothing from which he was made, and the Infinite in which he is swallowed up.

I've also seen changes to the type system that break existing library typings. (e.g. when they started strongly typing generators.)

Ask HN: In 2023, what resource will you pick for learning AI/ML/DL?
AI is old, ML not so old but still older than DL. There have been several online courses and books for someone to learn these topics on their own.

But the field has progressed quite a lot. For someone in 2023 who wants to learn AI/ML/DL with the ultimate aim of working in DL, what resource should they pick without an iota of doubt? Resources that have a perfect mix of concepts and real practice using real datasets.

I just noticed that if you replace "God" with "Big Bang", it's pretty much the same question.

The answer to Big Bang is that before it, there was no time itself, so there's no notion of "before" (or if you wish, it's an error in the question itself that assumes there was "before").
That's the exact case I was referring to in i) - and what drove me to write this post :)

> I wonder what the motivation is to keep working once you become a billionaire.

Some people don't work for the moeny.
I hope they took into consideration a corollary: that new code often _exposes_ bugs in the old, by exercising untested code paths or just by breaking assumptions. When a bug arises this way, do you attribute it to the new code or the old?

A good takeaway is that the old code should not have exposed paths that didn't yet have a consumer. I frequently fall into the trap of making my code too general to support future use cases, and this usually ends up being rewritten when those use cases are actually implemented, or the code is just dead for the lifetime of the project.
Vim isn't a CLI based editor. An editor like ed is.

Vim isn't the only editor with shortcuts. Many of the IDEs listed come with pretty of shortcuts and you can configure more if you want. Those editors also let you use shortcuts without having to switch through different modes making you more efficient.
Same for me. The Galago Pro (galp5) is quite ok but the firmware has bugs and they are not fixing them. Over the last 2 years I have had the fan running constantly when a USB-C device was connected, the fan going into full turbo mode over night, the screen started to flicker after wakeup on battery and some other issues. And battery life is beyond terrible.

After two years of struggle I have thrown the towel and got a used Macbook for the same price. I am starting to question their engineering priorities. Instead of developing new desktop environments I think they should make sure their devices are rock solid and work perfectly with Linux. That's their USP and they are not delivering on that promise.
> Only for an unusual definition of "completely" IMO.

Agreed. While the "usual explanation" may lack the details that actual testing provided, deduction and logic in this case were pretty much harmonious with the findings. The water layer being thinner or more viscous than expected doesn't invalidate the basic assumption, and that's where all science starts, right? Some basic, yet to be disproved* assumption.
Please do not do programming language flamewar on HN. Even if someone else's comments are provocative, or you feel they are, reacting this way only makes things worse, and is just what we're trying to avoid here.
