There is (long abandoned tho) a GNU superoptimiser that supports multiple hardware architectures including HP PA-RISC, Motorola 68k and 88k, Intel i960 amongst others – https://www.gnu.org/software/superopt/

It is based on the exhaustive search with backtracking, kind of what Prolog is best for, and given a function that takes an input vector of integers, it attempts to find the most optimal instruction sequence that produces an output integer.

If `cat` is a pager on your system (which is the only way I make sense of this)... Why? And what's so annoying about paging to `less` (retaining colors) than your paging `cat`? I also don't see why the author doesn't `< $FILE | jq $FILTER` instead instead of `jq $FILTER $FILE`. Finally , if it makes the process easier for the only user of the script, that `cat` served a purpose and was not useless.
Lots of businesses in my city refuse cash transactions. There's minor controversy about how it tends to shut out marginalized people, but AFAIK it has survived legal challenges.

It doesn't matter that cash is "legal tender" if the business can just refuse to enter into the transaction in the first place.

This article was strange to read. The author seems surprised that people with obesity don't want to undergo permanent, organ-changing surgery, and that doctors don't want to perform permanent, organ-changing surgery on their patients.

Not to mention over a month of recovery time. Not many Americans these days can afford that kind of time off of work. And yet the author presents the 4-6 weeks of recovery time as inconsequential?

The key is consistency across the organization. Even with a complex (perhaps even over-engineered) standard template, it's nice to be able to open an application/service you've never worked on and have a pretty good idea how to find the key bits.

The worst is a huge monolith that has dozens of styles and favorite patterns sprinkled all over from years of opinionated developers leaving their mark. For anything non-trivial, it might take an hour or two just to get your bearings and enter the mindset of the original developer. Then, you have to make the decision of whether your new function is going to follow that (broken) pattern or add yet another new one.

DEI is about what you "are", and reduces what you do/did/can/... to stuff that was decided when you were born. In a perfect "DEI" world, your status would be decided the moment you are conceived and would be utterly unchangeable. It's fundamentally a status game. It's about "blood", what blood, skin, hair, ... you're born with.

DEI has advanced in society to the point that, ironically, it's not tolerant of other viewpoints. And the ideology doesn't see this as a problem, in fact like all zero-merit ideologies (meaning they don't value individuals at all, and certainly not on personal achievement), they're actively proud of being bullies. Except this is a bullies club where entry is based on your genes.

DEI as "let's make a meritocracy more meritocratic" is great. Fantastic even. And it certainly was a necessity. DEI appears to not be that, anymore.

And even this is disregarding that DEI is at least partially a coverup for dumb spending cuts by government. Or that it's failing. The advancement of DEI is certainly not making the poor better off.

You're missing the point, it takes me < 5 seconds to clear the adrenals. The example is intended to illustrate that there is no feature to extract that would make a model BETTER than a human for the things that we care about (rare and challenging diagnoses).

No one is arguing that ML can't segment and measure a structure, this is the lowest hanging fruit. ML can't diagnose an adrenocortical carcinoma (an example of a rare disease) because medicine doesn't know how to.

> In other words, we extract a single feature, and apply a single nonlinear activation function to that feature to decide whether or not to activate the 'treat' signal.

Now do this for the > 1000 other possible diagnoses on a CT abdomen, and have it be as fast as a human with equal or better ROC curve in under 5 seconds and cheaper than the $70 a radiologist bills for this. Unless you can eliminate having someone like me read this scan a ML model to measure the adrenal glands is worth $0.

I'm aware of the literature in this space. Your proposal is not novel and has been attempted. As soon as you try doing this on more than a handful of (typically easy) diagnoses it stops working. Currently the only useful models flag normal/abnormal to triage interpretation priority.

> Look at how LLMs are able to do stuff like write code that has comments written in pirate speak.

This anecdote doesn't prove anything but we can instead look at OpenAI's own white paper for their more rigorous data on hallucination and accuracy. LLMs aren't ready for a production CRUD app let alone human life.

> ML models looking at diagnoses with small training sets that are largely in obsolete scan formats could stil

It's not obsolete. It's a completely different image type. This is akin to saying a ML model trained on black and white sketches can paint the Mona Lisa in color.

> all the anatomical knowledge.

A misunderstanding of the problem. The anatomy is easy. The pathology is updated every 1-5 years so there is no historical dataset.

For honest users it's not noticeable in normal conditions. But the DDOSer will DDOS themselves. They might make your service slow down for the users when they attack
but not because your server gets swamped just because you choose to increase the difficulty of the challenge while you are attacked. DDOSers will notice because they won't be able to make requests as fast. At least not the ones that are costly for you. It's an enforced client side throtling that affects even bad actors.

Generating challenges is really cheap. Calculating a single SHA256 or sth out of a querystring+salt (or better yet 128bit SipHash). Generation and validation can be done on separate layer/server so requests without valid PoW won't even register on your main system.
Interesting. I tried easyOCR, I found on handwriting it was about 35%, on typed it was 95.7%, so not bad at all with typed, but for handwriting pretty bad. I focused on Tesseract and TrOCR since it wasn't working out that well, still could easily have just been my particular use case.

I also tested paddleocr and keras ocr to round them all out.

The extreme emphasis on monetary earnings is precisely the reason alimony exists. Not all labor is paid for with money. Emotional labor, child rearing, homemaking — these are difficult to quantify in monetary terms but certainly play a role in the “success” of the household.
A bullshitter most certainly can care about the truth. A lot of people speak on the outer limits of their knowledge, such as when they talk about what's healthy or legal. That does not mean that they will carry on cynically after being informed.

And this is exactly what a DEI office would be necessary to make happen (you could call it a non DEI office, but that's what it would be).

Just because you disagree with a particular form of DEI (and to put my personal cards on the table, I am somewhere between indifferent to moderately against race based affirmative action) doesn't mean the concept of DEI is not important.

In fact, as we can see in this thread here, most people who say they are against DEI are in fact in favor because they do recognize that, at the very least, current higher educational practices are highly tilted towards those who are rich and those whose parents already have college degrees.
DNSSEC designers screwed up by making rollovers to be atomic. Instead, they should have allowed the responses to be signed by two keys. And a way to specify as a hint which key should be used, so that the zone owner could gather feedback on the rollover safety.
Have you read the article? The fungus described evidently is quite temperature sensitive (though at a temperature higher than what we’d like).

> Architect Mick Pearce famously based his design in the 1990s on the cooling and heating principles used in the region’s termite mounds, which serve as fungus farms for the termites. Fungus is their primary food source.
>
> Conditions have to be just right for the fungus to flourish. So the termites must maintain a constant temperature of 87° F in an environment where the outdoor temperatures range from 35° F at night to 104° F during the day. Biologists have long suggested that they do this by constructing a series of heating and cooling vents throughout their mounds, which can be opened and closed during the day to keep the temperature inside constant.

> Relative to a kernel version you'd encounter in something like rhel or debian stable however, tracking mainline's "stable" branch is still pretty damn aggressive.

If you want to run hardware released in the last year or so, LTS kernels have a funny tendency not to ever work. I've yet to buy a laptop that didn't at least need latest mainline.

It shouldn't have to count as 'aggressive' to want a kernel that will work with my hardware, but I guess that's what we get when there's no HAL.

You're most welcome, and I'm glad you had a successful visa process. It's not easy. A few more data points on the need this fills:

Basically as the attorney, I've been serving as the translator. My job is to take things like iPaaS, or TLS certificate management, or ring algorithms in distributed databases, and explain to the examiner what that means, in very simple stories. Like, this resets your password when your computer locks you out. Or, this makes your Netflix run faster. Really at that level, or below.

This is honestly my hardest problem. It can take weeks of iteration. I'm familiar with the industry, but I'm not an engineer or a programmer. I do write my own HTML-CSS, but beyond that, just, no. :)

There isn't much out there, that does what your product does. I've used things like the Sideways Dictionary, and various hashtags like #badlyexplainyourjob and #postitnotescience, and searches for articles like "explain your job to your parents." They don't quite get the job done.

ELI5 is way too general, and the quality of the Q and the A isn't helpful. The AI queries are promising, but right now they're kind of weird. Like the magic castle one was cool, but it wouldn't help my examiners much.

It's even harder for the applicants to translate it to this level too. James Cash elegantly called this "the problem of trying to teach something, when you don’t remember what it’s like to not understand it at all." *

And yet, the payoff of solving it is so huge. If all the other pieces are in place, a good narrative is the grand-slam home run of the EB-1A process.

Anyway, this is a super niche application for your thing, but it's going to help a lot of people (and I'm first in line). Thank you.

Maybe you guys need colleges looking only at grades and SAT scores, and no questions about race on any of the forms. This is how most of the world does it, and there is no need for DEI offices.

Nice, is it using a WebView? How did you build it?
It is a good thing: obviously - you were resuscitated.

I did a first aid course a few months back and one of the attendees (six in total) had done a similar job for a colleague a few years back. Their description was quite something. To be told first hand what happens, corroborating the instructor is a lesson and a half. It isn't pleasant at all and I won't spell it out here. As well as CPR we covered quite a few other things and you are far more likely to encounter choking and the correct response is far more likely to have a good outcome than CPR, so first aid courses are a very good thing.

If I end up having to deliver CPR, I will do it without hesitation. I will do the checks first, mindful that I will be performing what amounts to ABH. A small success rate is better than nothing.

OK so something like 5-10% is the real success rate for CBR. Now, would you be interested in something like 75%?

DEFIBRILLATOR.

A defib will talk you through how to use it but a short course will get you going much quicker. They are just like jump starting a car but instead of croc clips, the wires are connected to sticky pads that you stick on the person. They are battery powered and can be very small and portable. They are nothing like as big as you see on old school TV dramas.

Upside: ~75% chance of resuss. compared to around 5-10% for CPR. No need to potentially break ribs or other unsavoury side effects of battering a person. Downside: Costs around £1000 a pop - they are reusable.

If you own a business, why not grab one, slap it on the wall near to the first aid kit and get the staff clued up. When you get to a certain age (over zero) why not get one at home?

I have not yet followed my own advice yet but I think I will quite soon! Have a chat about it with your staff, family and whoever will listen.

I think that CPR should be likened to camping without a tent, in the Arctic. A defib: glamping, with free Cava! That said, I will still cause ABH on someone that I deem needs it if nothing else is to hand.
