Hey, i'm interested in the kind of problems you have run against in those cases if you don't mind sharing them ? My email is in my bio
From the abstract:

> In this work, we develop novel machine learning tools to identify providers that overbill insurers. Using large-scale claims data from Medicare, the US federal health insurance program for elderly adults and the disabled, we identify patterns consistent with fraud or overbilling among inpatient hospitalizations. Our proposed approach for fraud detection is fully unsupervised, not relying on any labeled training data, and is explainable to end users, providing reasoning and interpretable insights into the potentially suspicious behavior of the flagged providers. Data from the Department of Justice on providers facing anti-fraud lawsuits and case studies of suspicious providers validate our approach and findings. We also perform a post- analysis to understand hospital characteristics, those not used for detection but associate with a high suspiciousness score. Our method provides an 8-fold lift over random targeting, and can be used to guide investigations and auditing of suspicious providers for both public and private health insurance systems.

As long as you know what you are doing Ruby won't leave you with more technical debt than Go or Rust.

How many people know how to effectively program in languages like Ruby is another question altogether...
> and only a few extensions ever supported it

Compared to desktop certainly, but in absolute numbers it still weren't actually that few, and certainly much more than the mere 22 (!) add-ons (as of today) that can currently be installed.

> At least now, in theory, any extension can run on Android, which is great.

What good is that theory if in practice I actually can't make use of it?

Besides, the transition to webextensions happened with Firefox 57, and support for webextensions was added to the old Fennec-based Android Firefox, too. True, not the full API available on Desktop was ported, but that's no different from the situation today, and yet at that time there were no artificial restrictions on what add-ons were able to be installed on Android.

And even with the webextension API, to some extent extensions still need to be specifically designed to properly work on Android, too (especially if they need to display any sort of UI)…
Correct, here are the related Wikipedia pages for these type of media tactics, which are commonly called Google bombing, whitewashing campaigns, reputation laundering, etc:

Agree on the culture and connection as well, though I feel you get the culture benefits even if you meet in person every once in a while. No need for everyone to be in the same place all the time.

I work in an environment where even before the pandemic we were very flexible with working hours and working remotely. It was weird going more remote at first, but as restrictions eased up, we just naturally shifted back to the flexible regime. My guesstimate is the average work from office days fell from 4 to 2-3. For some people it's still 0 or 5, and it's fine. A lot of the people first came in during the remote times, how would the office make them more productive if it would mean completely changing your habits?

More junior people tend to get more benefit from the in person experience, being more remote means you have to adapt your approach in dealing with them.

I also don't buy the argument of people working less from home. It's just as easy to not do the work in the office. It's actually easier to hide behind a wall of busywork in the office than at home.

I guess large anough companies have to set rules to avoid feelings of it being unfair, but offering the flexibility and choice is a huge benefit which some newer up and coming companies could exploit.
You're paying 4x as much for your self-managed cluster as I am for a vendor managed cluster. I have a single-node digital ocean cluster without a load balancer.
As far as I know penis length is not correlated with body height, hand size, etc. because those all relate to skeleton size, but penises have no bones.

Scientific measurement is done from the top by pressing against the pubic bone since belly fat makes the penis look shorter.
It's not just the viewers either. I guess they need to be there for someone to bother creating content, but on one short stroll through London I saw multiple "content creators" filming themselves. That wasn't something that one often saw when I was younger, now the whole city is crawling in people who are making videos.

I also noticed the quality of the filters. They really make ordinary people look quite a lot better than they do in real life.
> ...while you may believe it to be "insidious" and maybe it is, it's the only reason we have a middle class.

What if the existence of a middle class is transitory? The billionare preppers certainly think our current social order is on borrowed time[1], not that I agree with their outlook, but I take that attitude as evidence that today's capital class does not particularly care for the continued existence of a middle class, unlike Henry Ford.

Once off sales are passé now, and recurring revenue is in. I suspect the middle class gets in the way of profit maximization because of the class' propensity to saving and ability to cross-shop since they have free time.

Selling Patagonia vests for leisure activities may be profitable, but it will lose out to PE squeezing out the middle class from buying homes and making them perpetual renters and unable to afford leisure activity

Why We define ourselves by our jobs (2021)
You described quite well how companies, in their pursuit of profits at all costs, corrupt the systems that should rein them in so that they can freely exploit workers and externalize negativity.

The answer for that is more regulation, stronger and more independent institutions that can rein those companies in. Not wishing thay companies magically become nicer.
VMware's Photon OS is largely designed as a container host - I've been using it for a few years now, and it's excellent. The team are really receptive to external contributors too (it's hosted on GitHub)!
Has it been disclosed what those "passion projects" are? I would have assumed them to be stuff like the museums and the cinerama.
I'm quite certain is because execs are 1) out of touch with workers, and are 2) bad managers.

First, execs stroll into the office and often have a pampered experience. Reserved parking. Admins ready and waiting within earshot. Special executive areas which are quiet and nicer than their homes.

Execs work is often collaborative due dealing open-ended problems (e.g., strategy), or they require specialist help (e.g., let me talk to VP Legal or the CTO about this idea).

But they forget that the majority of the workers who actually get work done think meetings are a waste of time.

Second, as a manager myself, it's very rare that my peers or above actually care about leadership. They might take some baloney leadership course, but do they take leadership as serious as other parts of their job? Do they continuously work on it? Nope. They just think leadership is telling people what to do.

If they can't visually see their workers, they don't know what to do. Their management toolbox which only contains a punch clock no longer works.
Note that the term "Critical" here refers to the likes of "Critical Theory", "Critical Social Justice", "Critical Race Theory" etc. It's biased from the offset so I'd take anything from this site with a pinch of salt.
It's a growth issue. Essentially Reddit and other growth-focused sites aim for the lowest common denominator of user.
my script, it runs a $(fortune | cowsay) pipeline and passes the text through NLTK sentiment analysis, now the ascii cow smiles when the score is high, and it is sad when the score is very low. That makes a fortune cow with a personality, almost like a real pet.

> Isn't the hype more about the relative difference (I don't think most people are claiming NL is a utopia)?

We're talking specifically about self-designated "anti-car" people. I doubt there are any surveys, so we're all just conjecturing, but the rhetoric I see definitely holds NL and Europe generally up as a car-less utopia. For example, the first post on r/anticar is titled "cities built for people rather than cars are so beautiful" and it shows an idyllic picture of a German street. https://www.reddit.com/r/Anticar/comments/mp6t4p/cities_buil...

> The amount of miles driven per capita in the US is twice as much as that of the NL. The percent of trips on bike is 25% in the NL vs 2% in the US. About half of all trips made in the NL are on bike, transit or walking. The other half of trips are made with cars.

I don't see how this is relevant? I don't think anyone in this thread disputes that cycling is more prevalent in NL versus US, and none of this refutes the toplevel claim that NL is a car country nor supports the anti-car rhetoric which suggests that NL is a car-free utopia. Like many "non-anti-car" Americans, I would like to see American transit become more multi-modal, but that's not what we're debating at present.

> However, I am sure that the NL could still make many changes to reduce car ownership if it really wanted to.

Sure (the obvious/extreme example is banning cars by legislation), but this seems circular, because we're implicitly interested in why doesn't the NL public want fewer cars (on the contrary, car ownership was increasing as of 2016)? Like in the US we can plausibly argue that Americans haven't experienced the Dutch cycling/pubtransit system and thus doesn't know what they're missing out on, but that's a much harder argument to make about the Dutch. :)
I don't understand what you mean by "Science".

There's a formal methodology, a social practice, a set of results, a perceived canon...

Is it the problem of lawbreaking experiment side effects you're interested in? E.g. infecting a bunch of people with syphilis to see disease progression?
My undergrad operating systems class used Minix
I consult across a few different industries, but it includes SaaS offerings. Many places could do multiple deploys to prod a day, but choose weekly releases or other longer cadences. This is to allow for documentation, client notifications, etc. It also is more efficient, constantly releasing requires a lot of resources, as this blog implies they are churning dozens of K8 pods several times a day.

I would think constant releasing would also make debugging prod issues pure hell.
Wow, I just completely misremembered that. Sorry!
> You cannot stop hackers by doubling down on the very policies they seek to amend,

You're assuming their goal is to "stop" every hacker, it's not. It's to secure this revenue stream for ag tech farm manufacturers, which they've done. They don't care if a handful of hackers fix a few tractors; if any get too big the boot comes down hard and they're ruined by fines and jail time. These changes are meant to block serious competition, by ensuring the vast majority of farmers will need to get their stuff repaired in official shops, which they still will.

Agreed.

> I can't get it why people would prefer to add "?" to everything instead of just having exceptions which automate that behavior.

Exceptions? Which exceptions? How do you know which exceptions you're supposed to be handling and where they come from or when they happen?

I prefer the control flow of the program and the exact types of errors I'm handling to be explicit.

On the one hand this is a little disturbing because it suggests they might be worried about near-future Chinese aggression towards Taiwan. But then, AAPL is the last company I'd invest in if I thought that someone was literally going to declare war on the semiconductor sector. Not sure what to think about this move.
But the reason that integration works is because at that lowest layer there is pretty much exactly one option for everything, ie. for logging, monitoring, building, launching, deployment and configuration, front-end / load-balancing, storage, code location, service interface, documentation, authn and authz, etc. etc. Sure there are competing tools on the boundaries, but there's so much you can count on existing everywhere.
They do have a good amount of ventilation, since they’re high occupancy, but you would need to run vents to all the units, at least, rather than large ducts to larger, more open spaces.
I could certainly see it being a regulated option for government officials.

GoDaddy is a very complex thing. And bugs lurk in complexity. No wonder.
However, if you're doing it for fun then getting thrown like a ragdoll is actually quite entertaining.

Even the parts that hurt are memorable in a good way. I remember someone quite expert performing a move that made my body feel like it was about to split into 4 pieces, but the pain was not that bad and only lasted for a moment (because they knew when to stop).

It is amazing (and humbling) to experience first hand what a skilled fighter can do to you in a safe context.
Far be it from me to cover for the Boomers’ greedy shortsightedness, but iirc we’re now at 52% of 18-29 year olds living at home and a large percentage of young married couples being DINKs (dual income, no kids). And current day Boomers poll fairly solidly against stuff like NAFTA and offshoring.

So imo, it’s not 2020s grandkid-wanting Boomers/GenX going “you’re on your own, kid” so much as it’s their greedy younger selves getting manipulated into mortgaging their eventual children’s future away in the 80s and 90s.

A distinction without a difference I guess, but the root of this problem stems from the Reagan/Clinton eras and not many people seem interested in discussing how we can successfully roll back some of the more egregious anti-worker legal/regulatory changes from those days.
Ah yes, the classic condescending response.

It must be the case that I simply haven’t read enough, simply because my understanding differs from yours. It can’t be possible that my points are a result of careful study over several years.

Speaking of careful study. I suggest that you go back and actually read what I wrote and address what I said. Please inform me where in the constitution there is a prescription for what the house and senate rules must be.

You keep talking about congressional authority. I will reiterate, that is completely tangential to my points.
I doubt it; I know more people thinking about buying a subscription to chatgpt now than back when Netflix was released here in Germany. They would have to truly mess up to lose the incumbent advantage now, especially considering that the whole current business seems to be about scale and fundamental advancements aren't copyrighted.

Streisand Effect in full force.

The man who meticulously researched, blew open, and legitimized half a dozen "conspiracy theories" in his storied career is now a senile old man who can't wipe his own ass, let alone do properly sourced research, overnight.

Every lapdog of the establishment is, as they did before, working overtime to discredit Hersh.

Every article I see decrying Hersh, particularly from FVEY-associated authors, only works to bolster the credibility of the original claims. They want to hide it, as they always have, since the sixties.

Barbara would be proud.
That's the problem, though, right? 99.999% of the time you absolutely should not be "handling" an error: you should merely propagate it so it gets closer to code that has actual intent. Languages that force you to try to "handle" errors--which includes Java, due to their botched concept of checked exceptions--both encourage the wrong behavior in the developer and cause the code to be littered with boilerplate to implement the propagation manually.

Meanwhile, they manage to encode the concept of "can fail" into not merely the type signature of a function but into the syntax used to access it, when--like other monadic behaviors, including "requires scoped allocation"--this is the kind of thing you tend to need to refactor into a codebase at a later time: instead, the code should always be typed as if everything can fail and everything can allocate (not just memory, but any resource); languages that get this right--such as C++ and Python--thereby deserve their stickiness.
Thats a fair assessment from the the CEO. People can just ignore messages on Slack.
It seems ad prevalence is directly inversely related to the market in that in a down market, we get flooded with ads to temporarily increase the co's cash flow with more ads, but people this time around are claiming it has completely shot the various recommendation engines.

Some tasks are hard, others are easy. I get in the low 60’s trying to predict if a headline will get a lot of votes on HN. Of course this is going to be bad because the same article can get submitted several times, hit it big once and not hit it big the other times. The content of the article matters too but the model can only make a wild-assed guess. I get in the high 70’s trying to predict if a post with a lot of hits gets a lot of comments, it is a cleaner problem. I get about 90% trying to predict if a post winds up ‘dead’, I found up HN is cleaning up a lot of spam posts when they go in but I know it is terrible overfit because it says an arXiv paper which has no chance of being flagged has a 30% chance of flagging.

For some other like “is this an astrophysics or materials science paper?”, getting 0.95 or better was straightforward in 2005.

"poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids"

-President Biden
This is really personal for me.

As a kid, I was part of a "gifted and talented" program at my public elementary school, where I got to go to a different classroom for half a day once a week.

It was the first time in my life I'd been challenged mentally. Before that class, I didn't know how to do anything but survive. That early exposure to science and math gave me a real outlet for individual learning and achievement, something no adult in my life at the time was capable of offering me. The driven curious person I aspire to be today was born in that classroom.

My early childhood was not a nice time. In retrospect, that half day a week was the single solitary positive influence in my life. For years, it was the only thing I had to look forward to. I remember being sad when school was over for the summer, because it meant I didn't get to do it for awhile.

It genuinely scares me to think about what my life might be like if I hadn't had that one thing.

As a person who occasionally consumes TikTok videos, I feel like it taps into the same thing that the original StumbleUpon did; show the user fairly quickly a number of related things and give them the option to either consume more of that same thing or find something else that's related but also new. Same goes for Pinterest. They all share that core element of quick consumption of related things in common.
This is very interesting (and well written) but I'm trying to imagine a real-life use case for this. Are there any you can think of?
