For what part, cutting-edge treatments? Sure.

But oncology is a very big field…

For example, the majority diagnostic testing guidelines are based on meta-analyses.

FYI since you asked to pick one, let's take a look at NCCN. Not sure where you're drawing your conclusion that most evidence is from phase III RCTs:

"[Q] Quality and quantity of evidence refers to the number and types of clinical trials relevant to a particular intervention. To determine a score, panel members may weigh the depth of the evidence, i.e., the numbers of trials that address this issue and their design. The scale used to measure quality of evidence is:

5 (High quality): Multiple well-designed randomized trials and/or meta-analyses

4 (Good quality): One or more well-designed randomized trials

3 (Average quality): Low quality randomized trial(s) or well-designed non-randomized trial(s)

2 (Low quality): Case reports or extensive clinical experience

1 (Poor quality): Little or no evidence"

"The overall quality of the clinical data and evidence that exist within the field of cancer research is highly variable, both within and across cancer types. Large, well designed, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) may provide high-quality clinical evidence in some tumor types and clinical situations. However, much of the clinical evidence available to clinicians is primarily based on data from indirect comparisons among randomized trials, phase II or non-randomized trials, or in many cases, on limited data from multiple smaller trials, retrospective studies, or clinical observations. In some clinical situations, no meaningful clinical data exist and patient care must be based upon clinical experience alone. Thus, in the field of oncology, it becomes critical and necessary (where the evidence landscape remains sparse or suboptimal) to include input from the experience and expertise of cancer specialists and other clinical experts."

From an article:

"We identified 1124 potential systematic reviews from our survey of the 49 NCCN guidelines for the treatment of cancer by site. Five NCCN guidelines did not cite any systematic reviews."

Hugging Face has a demo of the 40B Falcon instruct model: https://huggingface.co/blog/falcon#demo

It’s pretty good as models of that size go, although it doesn’t take a lot of playing around with it to find that there’s still a good distance between it and ChatGPT 3.5.

(I do recommend editing the instructions before playing with it though; telling a model this size that it “always tells the truth” just seems to make it overconfident and stubborn)

That’s not an argument, it’s appeal to authority. If those scientists have arguments or evidence to back up their beliefs, I’m all ears. “Top scientists” working on nuclear fusion have been saying it’s possible and close for years.
That's largely down to GPL3, unfortunately.

That's insane. Reminds me of LTT's secret shopper incident where they rejected Dell's suggested extra warranty package and then Dell included two mutually exclusive warranty packages that you cannot even intentionally select simultaneously on their website.

This feels like a religious slam piece that really doesn't belong on HN. But I will point out that this is ridiculous if you know a little bit about Hinduism.

It's a religion that does not recruit nor convert people and does not reject the idea of others having different religions. The idea of a "supremacist" movement within such a religion doesn't make any sense.

Members of other religions that don't hold such an egalitarian view, such as Abrahamic religions which believe in a single correct answer for God, might be inclined to have such a piece written.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Perhaps kids would be better socialized, and thus wouldn't become school shooters, if they got off their phones. Just a thought.
Finally a decent name.
what do you think is the root cause of the frustration?
When you look up 'reddit alternatives' you find hackernews often at the top of the list. There are MANY live alternatives.

The "digg moment" won't happen over some pricing of api stuff. It's not a serious problem which doesnt come even close to Yishan Wong or Ellen Pao levels of censorship. Reddit should by all metrics have had a digg moment after both of those people.

If you do go back in time before Musk bought twitter. Yishan had made some very odd unsubstantiated absolutely absurd comments. After the twitter files we found out the US government was behind this. The US government is keeping Reddit in power and you'll be banned to prevent migration.
I would assume that you'd use that data in conjunction with others (sensor fusion / kalman filter).

Wenn you know you were at location X 10 minutes ago and now one sensor tells you you are at Y ... You can reasonably assume that that sensor is wrong.
My experience is exactly the opposite.

I know quite a few programmer/hacker types, many of whom are cognizant of and responsive to contemporary security and privacy issues. Almost to a one, the smartphone is where they compromise most dramatically, carrying iPhones or, more bizarrely, stock Android.
I think most data lakes really turn into a data swamp as people/orgs are not diligent enough to keep them in a good shape. In absence of costs, people never delete anything voluntarily and the garbage will grow monotonically until it takes up all space.
The researchers behind the project have since moved on, but the idea of a db underpinning a game engine came up over a decade ago in Walker White's work at Cornell. Unsurprisingly, there's a whole lot of ways in which expertise from the db community can be commoditized to allow game devs to focus on the game, rather than hand optimizing code. For example, query optimizers can make it easier to scale up complex agent behaviors [0]. The project also spawned some interesting work on checkpointing, distributed replication, and computation over uncertain state.

Yes, but that more or less applies to every civilization besides Greeks and Romans regardless of what happened to them (and even the amount of Greek/Romans text that have survived is tiny). Maybe Egypt is an exception.

For instance most of what we know about ancient Persia comes from Greek sources. As far as we know more the Greek/Romans had preserved much more information about Achaemenids than their Sassanian successors.

Even if Carthage was somehow semi peacefully annexed into the Roman empire and and their upper classes were assimilated into the Roman society over time more or less the same thing would have happen (just that we’d have had a longer window during which Punic texts could’ve been translated to Greek/Roman). This happened all the time after all.
What would it take to make it plan A? My take: rust-level WASM support and a decent standard library.
Setting aside whether the actual calculations and data in the paper are accurate, the overall conclusions in "Discussion", i.e. linking current liquidity to propension to take new debt, seems to make sense:

>Further, the ﬁnding that the increased consumption (through borrowing) is concentrated among never delinquent borrowers, whose creditworthiness hardly changes, highlights an important interaction between liquidity and credit.

>The policy serves as a liquidity shock that induces increased use of credit.

>The effects do not appear to be driven by the subset of borrowers who saw an improvement in their credit scores. This raises the question of why such credit was not previouslybeing used.

>We speculate that using credit requires a certain level of liquidity for making down payments or making the ﬁrst due monthly payments. This interaction between liquidity and credit is important for policy design and highlights that policymakers should consider them jointly.

Though the real (troubling) conclusion seems to me that the more educated people are not (in large numbers/statistically) particularly good at managing their finances, which might indirectly mean that the less educated are really terrible at it.
There’s no foolproof way to do what you want at this point. You could have a separate model trained to infer whether a query is relevant to your product, and then reject the query if it’s predicted to be irrelevant. That’s not 100%, though.
I wonder what their query routing service at the end of the article does and what it’s use is? If they have vertically partitioned their database, shouldn’t their application queries also be split in such a way that they query data from the partitioned database and join them somewhere ?
As for AMD v Nvidia, imho it's more often a matter of AMD drivers being buggy even if their hardware seems to be almost on par in terms of performance, also right now NVidia has ridden high on both blockchain and now AI trends thanks to CUDA being propietary.

And the third paragraph is my point, porting would've been trivial instead of requiring another engineer if they had supported more standard API's, but they refused and now they're hedging their bets on another manufacturers API. It's just such a roundabout way of saying that they feel the pain without going back and fixing the basics.

You're taking a backwards-looking view of this.

Imagine if ancient man, living in the woods, saw people of today living in cities. "It feels very uncomfortable seeing all of these people isolating themselves inside buildings".

In fact the very opposite is the case. Now, we go into nature to isolate ourselves.

In the future, going into virtual reality will be where you go to interact with others, and you'll take the goggles off to isolate yourself.

There are enormous advantages to living (as much as possible of) your life in VR:

- your home can be arbitrarily large at zero cost and without taking any land away from anyone else

- you can change the decor whenever you want at zero cost

- you can paint walls as ornately as you like, at zero cost, immediately, without even any prep work required

- you spend zero time on travelling

- you can instantly hang out with friends in foreign countries for free without even needing a visa

As long as the technology is good enough (and please remember that qualifier, because people normally respond with an implicit assumption that the technology is not good enough) - as long as the technology is good enough VR is strictly better than current reality.
> By the end of 2021, borrowers who saw their student loan payments paused increased their credit card, mortgage, and car-loan debt by $1,800 on average

Aren't mortgages good debt? And being able to afford a car isn't a sign that someone is worse off, either. Plus, it's good for the economy.

> and even took on an additional $1,500 in student loan debt compared to those whose loan payments were not paused by the moratorium.

Again, is this supposed to be a bad thing? It seems to imply that these borrowers are still in school.
Developer tools is a much smaller market than people think.

It's consistently missed total market value estimates and been revised down, too, no matter whose numbers you use.

Depending who you ask, it's not even a 10 billion dollar market yet (or has just reached it).

Most of that money is also concentrated in people like Atlassian.
It's a remarkably small pie.
While the Venn diagram of anime nerds and programmers has an undeniable overlap, I don't think this should influence naming choices too much.
> If you don't charge fully until just before the user's normal wakeup time you aren't keeping it all the way full all the time.

You keep repeating this and seem to ignore my observation that if the battery isn't drained below 80% when I plug it in, it will recharge it fully immediately. It will not wait until the user's wake-up time.

And in my case, it's rare that the battery falls below 80%, so whenever I plug it in, it gets recharged fully right away.

So, in practice, it's all the way full all the time.
The teacher has a cell phone. Even if the teacher doesn't have a cell phone, there's yet another system in place: a telephone on the teacher's desk.

The article already talks about why the "what if" argument doesn't work. Uncoordinated responses triggered by direct child-to-parent interaction are inefficient and counterproductive to a coordinated response.
You could make the argument that some web sites are part of the "public good" and could get funding from government. Think of NEA grants of PBS/NPR funding (small amount of their budget but not chump-change).

Of course, it would be a pretty hard sell, and how the country would choose which web sites to fund would be a shit-show, but still, its an interesting idea.
When you reinvent the wheel you can't call it the wheel or people will know it isn't new. 'Entity component' makes no sense for being a kind of spreadsheet, but at the very least it is a good approach to the problem. It should have been called 'state tables' or something like that.
Moderation would become a nightmare since a private business's right to remove certain content wouldn't apply and now what do you do when a mod or /r/buyitforlife takes down a post that doesn't support the type of coffee maker that like, or whatever a shady reddit mod does these days.

I also would rather not post or log into any government run social media, that's seems like a big no from me.

I really don't know what a fix would be but I would be interested to see how a government ran social media would look, even if I wouldn't use it.
I would say:

- Maintainers job is triage and long term vision.

- Developers write codes, tests and reviews.
It’s worse than that: why should you care if someone imagined you naked?

That’s all these things are, just imaginations.
Anecdotally, definitely true. And I'm astounded what people accept as "ok" performance these days given the relative power of the hardware we all have in our pockets, on our desktops and in the cloud. Recently tackled a performance problem for a client where I reduced the load time of a certain web dashboard from over two minutes to around eight seconds. She was delighted with the new response time; I was disappointed that this is now considered acceptable for a simple set of database reads with no really complex processing involved.
Feels like this (and the drivers, as recently rediscovered by geohot) should be their #1 priority to be frank. Or should have been for the last few years but better late than never.

The most bang for buck they could do to improve their competitiveness (and share price)

> I know it's a stretch right now but could you not see the possibility of autonomous agents milking financial systems

No. What does “milking financial systems” actually mean?

> Or, a bigger stretch…

No. Embed itself into biological hosts? This is science fiction. I’ve never seen someone even describe a plausible route to this (even at a high level) that would make sense to someone who has studied biology.

Here's an analogy ... one of the core devs of some important language finds a bug that would have wide ranging security implications world wide but doesn't really want to reveal evidence of it and his colleagues certainly don't either.

Imagine some smart pilot or govt official (with no knowledge of our field) saying "it's not like these guys work in some exclusive club for intelligent people" ?

I mostly agree, but on the other hand: when I was a kid in the 80s, my dad spent my birthday parties walking around with a shoulder mounted video camera. It was lame, but not quite dystopian.
CQ: What exactly do you mean with "virtual instance"?
Do they need to most powerfull gaming hardware? Maybe just the fact that it might get reasonable to play most games on a macbook is enough to get people who also want to game to buy a macbook instead of a windows laptop. And maybe this is enough to get developers to consider mac.

They do not need to compete with nvidea for the top of the line
Same applies for the ones not paused though.
Haxe has CastleDB [0], which I've used once, and it's great (it only powers your game assets statically, and isn't written to during gameplay, or used by the running game itself (I think)). (On Godot now, so mostly using Resources, which can be structured data on steroids.)

You can walk up to the walls of the room you are playing in (or bed, or chairs or flower pots or a ball you left on the floor, ouch) but I guess that if this sticks somebody will build a 360° walking pad specifically for games. Meanwhile they can artificially limit how far a player can walk in a straight line. Mazes, small vehicles, etc

Slave labor produce poor quality results, of course, but per se have no specific bias, most western prosperity was made exploiting peoples for centuries so well... Any morality aside, I'm much more concerned by those who decide how to train and on what data than about the ghost slave labor they exploit...

I have happily used BTRFS in Raid1 on my Plex server for a good while now.
I originally had a chucked WD 8TB drive. I started dreading to rebuild my library if the drive failed. So I got a 8TB Seagate disk and created a Raid-1 setup with one drive missing. I then copied over the data and added the old disk to the new raid. It took a good while to balance itself but it's been problemfree since. I might use ZFS if I switch to Ubuntu for home server, but I am using Fedora now, and want to stick to what is natively supported.

This is a pretty wild but fun topic :-)

Saint Augustine discussed a colorful rumour from his time about dog-headed people (cynocephaly). If you look beyond the actual rumour itself, his thinking provides a useful precedent for contemporary Christians to frame discussions about alien intelligence.

(If I remember correctly...) Augustine's thinking went something like this: if dog-headed people exist, then the question becomes whether they are descendants of Adam or not. (See the protoevangelium in Gn 3:15; or the genealogy in Lk 3:38; or the Catechism paragraph 402 and surrounding paragraphs on the Fall.)

If they are, then they are in need of salvation: the Gospel should be proclaimed to them and presumably they should also receive the Sacraments.

If they are not, given that Adam is our actual ancestor, then we might need additional revelation, because no revelation about this was provided to begin with (Jn 10:16 is taken to be a reference to non-Jewish peoples, who are also descendants of Adam and who would also end up worshiping the God of Israel by the sacrifice of the Cross, as predicted in the Old Testament).

I'd say this need for extra revelation would become even more pressing in the case of supposed intelligent life that is extra-terrestrial and, despite its rationality, fundamentally does not share in human nature and the Fall. My intuition (as a Catholic) is therefore that we will never encounter extra-terrestrial intelligence. Or if its existence is proven, then we would only learn about it from distant observations, e.g. through the SETI program, but we would never have meaningful interactions with it/them.

So far, actual evidence lines up with this more skeptical attitude inspired by the Christian faith: consider the Fermi paradox; or the vast size of the universe and our current understanding of challenges related to faster-than-light travel; or the questionable nature of the existing reports, together with very pragmatic but pressing questions like "why on earth would such advanced aliens secretly buzz around on Earth in highly advanced aircraft and still crash"...

The interesting twist (...imho...) is this: "extra terrestrial intelligence", aside from scientific debates about e.g. likelihood and discovery, also serves a cultural purpose. It is one way in which today's non-Christian society tries to think about what "it" might become. This is not unlike how thinking about angels provides Christians with a view of what they may become individually in relation to free will, moral choices and God, things which in angels are completely pure because they are immaterial creatures. The irony is that the reality of extra-terrestrial intelligence is completely unproven and its nature is therefore a matter of pure speculation and fantasy; whereas immaterial spirits actually do exist and we have some knowledge about them, expressed in solid metaphysical concepts.
HIP is their effort to do that. Not sure they're putting enough dev and optimization effort to extract actual max perf from their hardware. So you're putting one (or 16) 300W board in your system with lower efficiency, risk of no support, bad long term support. And for (easier, more efficient) training you need large memory and hug interconnect. Only NVIDIA has this combination. I'll wait until I see XeLink bridged/switched servers actually in prod, benchmarkable by any noob, before I touch Intel GPUs for training. And if you were thinking H100s were unobtainium, try buying Intel Gaudi stuff...
This confirms to me what I suspected when I was trying to determine whether to host my own Grafana stack or use the Grafana Cloud free tier - that I'd end up spending a ton of time fiddling with a constellation of services I didn't actually care about that I could spend on the projects and services I do care about.

I've not found it too hard to stay within the limits of the free tier. The 10 dashboards limit is the main one that actually constrains me, but I just put more stuff on each dashboard and live with the scrolling. The free retention is not great but it's good enough for my purposes.
Because of the complete lack of evidence.
Honestly bitcoin not being a security has been one of the biggest mistakes the SEC has made over the past decade. They gave that guidance and are stuck with it now. But the argument for it being a commodity is pretty weak and being a security would be useful from a regulatory framework. I think it's pretty clear bitcoin needs as much or more regulation than a typical stock or bond and is a more likely source of fraud or problems than typical stocks or bonds are.
