Hernia surgery is not only routine, but quite straight forward. Mesh implants are easy to handle and offer a good long-term outcome. It's one of the first interventions a beginner in the field would learn to master. Also, I am not sure about Sierra Leone, but in Europe and the US it is commonly done as a keyhole surgery, so it requires some dexterity with the tools. The study chose to examine open surgery, which is easier to perform but leads to more post-operative complications. Also, they only looked at elective surgery, so only at cases when the hernia didn't cause further problems demanding a more timely treatment, such as bowel constriction or even inflammation or incarceration. These can be much more challenging to treat properly.

All that being said, the authors purposefully sought to compare performance for a type of surgery that doesn't offer many obstacles for somebody new to the job. I guess it helps to identify tasks that highly-skilled MDs are freed up from doing when they are already scarce in a given location. But it's hardly an indicator that much what they do could be done by others, as some would probably like to believe.

You should be able to trust a contract to mean what is written. It is not my responsibility to ensure that the company is able to hold their end of the bargain. If they at a later point find themselves unable to hold their end of the bargain, they should face consequences for breach of contract / false advertising and those consequences should be greater than the expected gain from walking back on the contract. Otherwise all contracts become worthless which serves nobody.

Monorepo and monolith are somewhat orthogonal. The desire to use a monorepo likely stems from wanting to emulate Google.

Dealing with Youtube's "copyright" department isn't worth the trouble.
Also the same content on a Adsense monezited site yields factor 10 earnings vs Youtube.

Just one example of their copyright shenanigans:

A friend of mine prank called some water cleaning office somewhere in Africa. He was put on hold, while on hold some music played. Youtube wanted to know if he had the license for this "elevator type" music, essentially single tone please hold the line "music".
Of course he didn't and he had to edit the video and re-upload.

Who in their right mind thinks that this hold the line music is copyrighted in a way that you couldn't post a conversation containing that music in public?
The attraction was what he and them said, not the non-essential music to begin with.

So the same piece of audio on an Adsense site, no issues whatsoever.
And 10 times the earnings of the video.
Is that a bad thing

Pretty much got the "whatever he says, invert it" with Kurzeweil. He wants to go gangbusters? Good reason to call a halt.

The guy is a serial self publicist. He's Malcolm Gladwell with less journalism chops.

"We might lose the race" excuse me, people are trying to science here. It's not a race, except a race to the bottom. The problems here are regulatory, and sorting fact from fiction. Kurzeweil is strong on the fiction end where the singularity is(nt) and weak on the fact side, which is misplaced optimism, misplaced trust in highly misleading outcomes.

About as unintelligent as its possible to be.
It's simpler than that. It's just fraud. Don't promise something you're not sure you can deliver.

Fun fact: People didn't like cake mixes when they first came out, precisely because it wasn't "really cooking". Then someone (Betty Crocker?) changed the mix (and the instructions) so that the person had to add an egg, not just water. Then the humans felt like they were actually cooking, and cake mixes were more accepted.

A really smart AI would leave enough for the humans to do that they feel like they're still in charge.
I checked his YouTube account to see the kind of content he was producing and honestly, not really impressed. None of these have educational value per se and look (at a thumbnail glance) like opinion vlogs.

For someone who's making a full-time living out of this sort of work, I suggest checking out https://fasterthanli.me/ who writes long-form technical articles on Rust, and provides similarly educational and enjoyable videos on his YouTube channel. He wrote about his journey and his decision to go full-time over at https://fasterthanli.me/articles/becoming-fasterthanlime-ful...

I believe firmly that the type of content OP is producing is not ones people find of monetary value. Educational content with a semi-niche focus is the hot stuff if you are interested in generating income. Provide service, obtain funds!

How many hours spent on battling Laravel to do what you want? How many hours spent on upgrading Laravel versions?

Framework solves a general problem, but we try to solve a specific problem, thus it will always be a mismatch, frameworks usually solves that with a combination of magic and opaque abstraction layers.

Frameworks works best for short running projects, long running projects tend to outgrow the framework.

Prefer libraries over frameworks.
It only works well with codebases that are probably quite well represented in its training data ime. For more obscure ones one is better off just doing it by themselves. Finetuning may be a way to overcome this, though.
Yeah at some point gpt4 loses track and just consistently is wrong.

Lately I can't feed it too much info, the longer the context the more issues.

With your suggestion, it doesn't know which part of the iteration is correct at the moment. For us iteration is logically but for chatgpt I think it's just more variables that make the chance of being wrong larger. So you need to build that in somehow that it can iteratively filter and prompt

That’s great to hear, but allow me to offer a common example. Ask a pianist to quickly play four octaves of melodic minor in thirds, and especially as one hand is ascending and the other is descending at the turning point, and there are two different modes being played simultaneously, many will indeed miss a note. Now make it a less common key, and you can see why it can be tricky for some. Certainly not everyone, for students yes and even some experience pianists may need to practice a bit first.

This kind of request is very common at many music schools for these kinds of exams.
My experience was from Spain.
I think the author is not taking language far enough. The animals which cannot speak do have a language, their language is just body language — one of actions. This is why when learning how to train dogs or cats, a human must learn how to control themselves and their actions.

Yes, there is not reason why AI must “speak” in English or any other human language, but any language it speaks in will be lossy in the same way. Fundamentally, all of communication is lossy including our computer programs. This is why things like undefined behavior exist and also why people misunderstand.
You're so focused on reducing risk from the treatments/procedures themselves that you're not looking at the risks caused by the diseases that the treatments/procedures are not able to cure because they have not innovated fast enough.

This is the classic pro-centralization bias.

Cancer and heart treatment are still in the stone age, with whole-body toxification in chemotherapy, and cutting open people's chest for open heart surgery, still being mainstay treatments.

Costs are also not declining, making cutting edge treatments unaffordable and inaccessible.

Compare to less regulated sectors, where quality has improved orders of magnitude while costs have massively declined, and it's clear that medicine/pharmaceuticals are underpeforming.
That is why lateen sails came to be.

Of course language relates to things, but I am thinking of language in the sense of a constantly growing corpus of text. It is a self replicator, but like a virus it uses the host organism, a human or a LLM to create more of itself. Ideas have their own life-cycle, they don't get born or die with us, they like to travel and evolve fast.

My point was the capabilities we attribute to LLMs actually come from the training data, not the model. Any model would do, from 10B parameters to 500B, with cosine embeds, rotary or AliBi, even RNNs can do it today. But the data - that is precious, the source of all these "emergent" abilities. We are wondering at the mysteries of the transformer, but the mystery was hiding the training set.

Let's look at the problem from the point of view of language as an evolutionary system of ideas. Like scientific papers and citations, that kind of stuff, leading to AI and human progress. That's where our progress will come from - the evolution of ideas.

There's also McFly which does the same thing.

I've only used McFly and found it to be pretty great. My only complaint is the default search mode is SQL strings, so you have to use `%` for wildcards. I wish it was a more forgiving, less exact search.

Has anyone used both and could compare them?

Good preview of the near future of software dev, but I’m also wondering of the trend of companies forbids use of AI generated code do to copyright ambiguity. I suppose pressure to reduce cost as and move faster will overcome that concern.
What happens if that contaminates something else? I presume that would have a different half life? Not a physicist, so genuine question.
Yeah, we see this a lot with younger people because they are just starting in the world. Also, they're the predominate generation right now that's video taping and posting every even possibly interesting moment of their lives, irrespective of whether some 30 year old thinks it's embarrassing. If 60 year olds were posting every strange thought or funny moment we'd have some opinions about them too (Facebook, anyone?) They're just thinking about and misunderstanding a different set of things. But i think the kids are somewhat closer to a humility that might be hard to find elsewhere.
One also shouldn't form an impression of arch (or any other distro) from the experience of one user. I've had this arch install for over 10 years and don't remember having any issues like that; while hearing plenty of people having issues doing major version updates on more "stable" distros.

Arch specifically attracts people who want to learn how things are put together and mess with their system, which are also the kind of people most likely to break things.
In America a second vacation home in a dark sky area isn’t too expensive because of its remoteness. A person looking for ideas to entertain guests that isn’t another hot tub or fire pit or whatever might easily buy one of these to check out the stars and show pretty pictures of space.

I don't see how it could be used for blackmail. All that's being tracked is that TikTok reckons that you enjoy LGBT-aligned content, based on a lot of chaotic circumstantial indicators. It's not porn, and it doesn't even mean that the user requested LGBT content. You can probably even get put into that category because you frequently argue against LGBT people in replies (the algorithm seems to heavily weight replies, since that's a deeper interaction than a like or a rewatch). The information itself is no more usable for blackmail than if a stranger on the street were to personally declare of you, "I reckon that this guy is gay, based on his typing style."
Let me try some napkin math with nuclear. France is usually taken as a positive example for nuclear. They have 56 reactors on a population of 67 million. For the whole world to get to that level we are talking about 6k-7k in reactors. There are a couple hundred in the world already so let's make it 6k. The costs depend on a lot of things, but 10 billion a pop is a nice round number and for the majority of the world a low estimate. So roughly 60 trillion in construction costs only. Then we need to run them and eventually decommission and store the waste, which even with much smaller scale nuclear programs today will cost hundreds of billions.

Not a realistic solution. We can do more, faster and cheaper with renewables. If you can't get to 100% with renewables, nuclear should anyway be the last option.

I think it's really difficult to answer that because revenue per watch varies depending on the content, because different industries are willing to pay different amounts for advertising.

I imagine if you have a popular channel to with anything around money (banking, gambling, investing etc) or high value/margin goods like makeup, cars, etc. then you make significantly more than niche interest channels.
With bash's HISTIGNORE, I can consciously prefix my command with a space to prevent it being added to history.

ls I usually don't care about, but there are directories I regularly cd to, so it would be nice to have those in history.

I can think of a neat heuristic, which is that I often cd to an absolute or home directory, so if the path starts with / or ~ I'll possibly want to cd there again in the future. Changing to a relative path on the other hand, I tend to do more rarely and while doing more ephemeral work.
Can you demo it, please?
I'm not writing new open source. First, web developers have profited from the work of others while locking down their own work on servers.

They became rich and started looking down on those who wrote real complex code.

Now "Open"-AI launders the output while keeping their IP safe. I wonder though if the whole thing is a scheme by Microsoft to kill open source.

Good point.

Perhaps you are more comfortable with this approach than others, and are part of the tartget market Mercedes may be fishing for, which is just fine.

You straightforwardly don't seem deceived at all here either way.

Show HN: I made AI Agents accessible non-tech folks
Hey HN community!

Long time scroller, first-time poster :)

I'm excited to introduce AiAgent.app, a user-friendly AI Agent making it accessible for say my mom and dad to mess around with this new tech.

Why:
I think the idea of completely automating* some of my workflows is really exciting and if more people have access more ideas will come from it.

*(currently not there but I can't imagine it'll be long)

Some key features include:

- Run multiple agents at one (x10?)

- Web search

- Editing tasks

- Keys included

- 3rd party intergration (coming soon)

- File read & write (coming soon)

- Node graph-like workflow mapping (coming soon)

Note:
All this is all very early stage so I massively welcome constructive feedback, thoughts, and ideas :)

Give it a try for free and let us know what you think!

Check it out: https://AiAgent.app

Someone smarter may correct me but my understanding is that radioactivity doesn’t transfer like that. Contamination means for the isotope to find its way into a system (like a human body) and then stay there, radiating harmful particles from the inside.

If you were to be contaminated by ingesting some radioactive sodium, it would still decay and be gone within days.
