Cholesterol and blood pressure can reach out of normal levels fairly suddenly. They need to be treated as soon as this evidence appears. All sorts of conditions can be spotted by a capable practitioner. Contrary to the tone of the article, most doctors are not over-treating; they will watch something that’s on the borderline. I fear that this article will give justification to the many people who are “too busy” or just don’t like going to the doctor.

ChatGPT has this to say about the bill:

This bill primarily aims to safeguard national security by regulating and mitigating risks associated with foreign investments in U.S. information and communications technology companies. It outlines the processes and authority of the Secretary of Commerce and the President to identify, review, and take necessary actions against transactions that pose a threat to national security. The major and minor intentions of this bill can be summarized as follows:

Major intentions:

Define "covered transactions" and "interests" that warrant scrutiny for national security purposes.
Establish a process for the Secretary of Commerce to review covered transactions and interests.
Allow the President to take action against transactions that pose a threat to national security.
Outline the penalties for violating the regulations set forth in this Act.
Provide a framework for judicial review of actions taken under this Act.

Minor intentions:

Establish the protection of sensitive information during the review process and any subsequent legal proceedings.
Clarify the relationship between this Act and other existing laws and authorities, such as the Defense Production Act of 1950 and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
Specify the transition process for implementing this Act, including the continuation of actions taken under Executive Order 13873 and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

Possible hidden motives or unclear side effects on user freedoms:

The broad scope of the bill's language may allow for an expansive interpretation of "national security risks," which could lead to a greater number of transactions being scrutinized and potentially restricted.
The bill might deter foreign investment in the U.S. information and communications technology sector, which could impact innovation, competition, and economic growth.
The exclusion of certain administrative and judicial review processes might limit transparency and accountability in the implementation of the Act.
The protection of sensitive information and the limitations on access to classified and unclassified information in legal proceedings may hinder the ability of affected parties to challenge actions taken under this Act effectively.

Overall, the bill intends to protect national security by regulating foreign investments in information and communications technology. However, its broad language and limitations on transparency and access to information could potentially impact user freedoms and the technology sector's growth.
My uninformed speculation is that this might be an artifact of the embedding layer (e.g. CLIP), not the image training data.

Presumably, the dataset for training the embedding layer (which is trained separately and then fixed) is not stripped of copyrighted content. So it will have learned that "Pikachu" is related to words such as "yellow" and "rat".

Therefore, even if the image dataset didn't have a single picture of Pikachu, the image generator will still likely produce a yellow rat. Just one that doesn't actually resemble Pikachu.

> I’m gonna ignore your personal insult

No insult, just a description of what you've posted (idiotically) here

> Starlink is an excuse not to rollout proper infrastructure.

That's ridiculous. Australia's infrastructure plans were laid out long before Starlink was conceived. They were then undermined by a right-wing gov. Invidividuals are then left by government inaction to do what they must. That involves (unfortunately) use of all kinds of less-than-ideal individualistic solutions like Starlink. It's not good for society, but, like private health care, it can be necessitated.

> Really? Are there honestly scenarios in the real world where
people don’t have power but need to do school and healthcare via the internet. I find that hard to believe.

I don't care what you find hard to believe because of your limited experience of life. The solution to limited experience is either to gain more, or to refrain from judgement outside of your realms of competence.

> Remember it's a bandaid solution to your governments poor planning and infrastructure rollout of a core utility / service.

Agree. Like healthcare, it should be there. But again as with healthcare, when it's not, those with the means just have to go where they must. Whether that be health care mercenaries, or Starlink.

> Do you mind listing some of them?

I won't list them. The fact that you, clearly knowing literally nothing about this part of the world, still feel like doubling-down on your ignorance (a factual description, not an insult), makes you not worth enlightening.

Anyway, you're uninteresting and incurious. I shall block you.

I agree should be, but unfortunately that's not the case. Not in proper detail. Broadly, the DEA's power comes from the Controlled Substances Act, originally passed in 1970 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_Substances_Act, but the modern day limits themselves are secret.

The medications described are Schedule II, which is defined as "The drug or other substance has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States or a currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions."

One citation for the limits being secret are:

Ike Swetlitz, I (2023) "Xanax and Adderall Access Is Being Blocked by Secret Drug Limits". Bloomberg, Online edition. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-04-03/adderall-...

> Xanax and Adderall Access Is Being Blocked by Secret Drug Limits

> The Drug Enforcement Administration regulates the manufacturing, distribution and sale of controlled substances, which can be dangerous when used improperly

> the limits themselves are secret.

> A Cardinal Health document reviewed by Bloomberg News says that limits are calculated on a daily, monthly, and quarterly basis.

I think you meant, "pick nico's LLM."

In any case, you bring up an important issue: can monkeys bitcoin?

Could we backport a blockchain experiment in the same way that demoscene Hungarians have backported math hacks to fuel unexpectedly sophisticated realtime graphics to the C64?
I guess it is time to send an FOIA request to the DEA to find out what the limits are.

Yeah, I'm a monster who does Solarized Light.
I think the market is plenty big enough, because I suspect Framework will sell a lot of their upcoming 16" laptops to Windows gamers.
So something like this?

def add(df1, df2, meta_cols, val_cols=None):
# join on meta cols
# add val cols (default to all non meta cols if None)
# return df with all meta and val cols selected

In theory I think that's fine. The problem is that in practice this will cause a lot of visual noise in your models, since for every operation you would need to specify, at least, your meta columns, and potentially value columns too. If you change the dimensionality of your data, you would need to update everywhere you've specified them. You could get around this a bit by defining the meta columns in a constant, but that's really only maintainable at a global module level. Once you start passing dfs around, you'll have to pass the specified columns as packaged data around with the df as well. There's also the problem that you'd need to use functions instead of standard operators.

One thing that would be nice to do is set an (and forgive me, I understand the aversion to the word "index") index on the polars dataframe. Not a real index, just a list of columns that are specified as "metadata columns". This wouldn't actually affect any internal state of the data, but what it would do is affect the path of certain operations. Like if an "index" is set, then `+` does the join from above, rather than the current standard `+` operation.

In any case I realize this is a major philosophical divergence from the polars way of thinking, so more just shooting shit than offering real suggestions.
> If [...] everybody there thinks I'm an all-knowing, all-capable oracle.

So.. the opposite of Jim Cramer.
What matters are the function properties, which you can get by running the function.

One important property is how much compute and memory do you need to run the function. Which induce an order on functions.

If we assume our current state is the result of an execution of a function currently being run, we can learn plenty of things.

For example we may infer the source code of the function being run. If this source code happens to be sampled from a simple class of function, this would be strong evidence that we are indeed being evaluated.

The classical example is the constants of the universe being fine-tuned for life. Presumably universes that are uninteresting get simulated very quickly, therefore if the upper universe is running a search for interesting universes, it would spend most of its computation time (and therefore our current state is most likely to be sampled) from an universe that require more computation, aka near the edge of chaos, where life thrive.

This kind of inductive reasoning may provide strong evidence for the hypothesis.

For example we could be in a quine universe : A universe that can run inside itself the source code that created it and be able to observe itself and match its own past to its simulation.

Being inside such a universe would be strong evidence for the simulation hypothesis.
I mean, what do you expect? If you work in a high paying job, it's tempting to start increasing your lifestyle spend (eating out every night etc). If you want to retire early you have to save that money, which means making coffee at home etc.
Where are you seeing they were informed it was fixed?

In any case, the relevant thing about that issue is two people reported running into a serious problem, months later it's still open with no information on what may have caused it.

Personally I'd really really appreciate if you would dial back the medication shaming a fair amount. As someone who can function with a lot of effort and the support of medication and who has gotten into several rough spots in life when I've suddenly run out of meds and have needed to motivate myself independently to refill them... please don't opine on what other people's experiences are.

Additionally, Adderall and the like aren't just like +2 INT boosts - the stimulants have a different affect on most people with ADHD than it would on a regular person... so whatever you've experienced abusing the medication is probably quite a bit different from what I'll experience using it.
This would be a useful feature. Though how will it know when you die?
I think those are fair critiques. I also noticed that it's a transparent PNG that doesn't look great on every background.

I wouldn't want them as vectors fonts necessarily. One of my complaints was that duplicate letters would just re-use the texture. I get that it's probably a caching mechanism to finish generating the word faster. But, since the AI can generate infinitely, it seems a bit self-limiting to re-use a letter. I guess my complaint is that the re-use really points out that it's _not_ a custom illustration.
Weirdly, the hard part here is reliably knowing when you died. Messy solvable in a localized way. Really, really hard to solve on a global scale.

S3 Select supports parquet, which means you can push query to individual S3 blobs. I think there is a possibility we might see someone build a postgres foreign data wrapper which pushes the querying via S3 select to S3 blobs and use postgres only for the final aggregations. Someone on HN had done this with sqlite files in S3 queried by lambdas using sqlite, but pushing it wholly to S3 would eliminate a lot of overhead.

I don't know why but I'm always tickled when someone comes up with yet another data-oriented / flow diagram programming language like NI LabView. And my first thought is always "this will break down exactly like LabView and for the same reasons." Someone will inevitably come up with a use case that is just a little too complicated but without any mechanism to go from data flow to program code there are going to be some really painful migrations.

Ah, the song of the concern troll everywhere, projecting your own cult-like attachment to nuclear power on others. Slimy and pathetic tactic. Calling out your idiocy isn't getting emotional, but it does seem like I've touched a nerve.

> With deep burial sites there are two problems: technological and political. You are claiming here that WIPP does not solve the technological problem. I prefer to trust the EPA and DOE on that, rather than some random dude on the internet.

Then trust their opinion that it's not suitable for SNF. Also the US government (including after the EPA and DOE were formed) signed off on cotter mill and countless oil pipeline projects which later did massive ecological harm. They are not really great at saying no to ecological danger.

> Regardless, my point is that without a doubt, the WIPP has solved the political problem. For the simple reason that it exists. Congress has passed an act, the facility was funded, it was built, and is in operation.

The military getting away with half assing solving a much smaller problem isn't solving the political problem.

It is absolutely insane right now with medication... My wife blew out her knee last year, breaking her tibia, patella and femur. Do you know how many painkillers they gave her to take home? 12 pills! They said to come back to the ER to get more if she needed them, before surgery the following week(?!). I think it was like a 3 day supply and we both were like WTF.

My 1 year old dog (who is batshit insane, but we still love her) had to have part of her tail amputated because she kept breaking it open, the vet had us giving her 3x painkillers 2x a day. The pharmacy tech insisted they weren't going to fill a followup script because she had already been prescribed 60 pills, 10 days before and refused to perform basic math. (3*2*10=60)

I'm all for trying to address our opioid issues, but it feels like instead of addressing the issue of doctors running pill mills, over-prescribing these drugs, they are focused on just not allowing them to be prescribed at all... Even for people who genuinely need them.

That's stagflation, which happened in the 70s.

Inflation usually means wages going up. Of course they don't all go up at the same time and people get shuffled around, which makes them really angry.

But low wage workers in the US have gotten significant pay raises since 2019. In fact, they're the only workers who are making more after inflation.
