Great question. Short answer from the Red Cross and Mayo Clinic: (1) Contact 911 first (2) Begin immediate cooling by any method including removing them from the hot environment, removing their clothing, and applying cold water immersion or cold water on skin with fanning and (3) transfer to hospital while continuing to cool

Details: The American Red Cross in their current guidelines available at https://cpr.heart.org/en/resuscitation-science/first-aid-gui... and https://doi.org/10.1161/CIR.0000000000000900 advise that “For adults and children with exertional hyperthermia or heat stroke, first aid providers should move the individual from the hot environment, remove excess clothing, limit exertion, and activate emergency services.

For adults with exertional hyperthermia or heatstroke, it is reasonable to initiate immediate active cooling by using whole-body (neck down) cool- to cold-water immersion techniques (1°C–26°C [33.8°F–78.8°F]), when safe, until a core body temperature of <39°C (102.2°F) is reached or neurological symptoms resolve.

For children with exertional hyperthermia or heatstroke, it may be reasonable to initiate immediate active cooling by using whole-body (neck down) cool- to cold-water immersion techniques (1°C–26°C [33.8°F–78.8°F]), when safe, until a core body temperature of <39°C (102.2°F) is reached or neurological symptoms resolve.”

From this we can conclude you might reasonably cool those suffering from heat stroke yourself within the generally-accepted first aid standards or scope of practice (in fact, the Red Cross/AHA use the language should for their active cooling recommendations in some summaries). You would want to have a way of checking the patient’s temperature to cease cooling interventions when it reaches 102.2°F (other sources advise stopping if the patient begins to shiver). This recommendation was added in 2020, the most recent guideline update.

The fancy interventions that paramedics and advanced prehospital clinicians can administer include IV fluid replacement, anticonvulsants, and intubation (cf. https://emcrit.org/ibcc/hyperthermia/) and the ambulance has a/c and potentially other cooling devices. Also there is a possibility for cardiac failure https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8843991/ so all providers should be prepared to initiate CPR and EMS has tools for cardiac monitoring and support/resuscitation.

> The root cause of all this madness:

> Ads.

> As long as there is even a marginal financial incentive to get human eyeballs on websites (as opposed to the viewers actually playing for services or, you know, just hosting websites for free because they are cool), this will keep getting worse.

Search will only get worse for google users, not for google or google customers.

Google can easily produce only quality search results, by penalising a result by the number of ads it serves.

They don't do this.

They can identify the SEO people and companies, and heavily penalise their clients.

They don't do this either.

They can, because you're logged in, allow you to maintain a blacklist. They don't.

Trust me, for google this is an easy problem to solve; it's just that, for google, this is not a problem, but works as intended behaviour.

If the entire telephone system was down and needed cold started, and the script had information someone needed to do that, someone would take the time to read it. Maybe not run it, but definitely read it to extract clues.

When I was young in the UK, a TV show got in trouble because their phone in quiz, with a cash prize, was too easy. The verdict was, it's not a quiz it's a lottery, and lotteries are regulated (there can only be one national lottery). That's quite an abstract piece of analysis for a governing body to make. They realised that this ostensible quiz "encoded" a lottery in a sense.

I think a similar analysis applies here: these are not games, they really are casinos, just with the veneer of games over the top.

> the market for radiologists is shrinking

On the contrary, it's expanding and there's a global shortage of them [1].

AI has been changing the role of radiologists but not replacing it [2] and radiologists are needed more than ever, but the industry has been struggling to communicate this to students worried by ill-informed claims the profession is under threat from AI [3].

It depends. I've seen it at Google - in bigtable, megastore and spanner - there are quirks - for example you (may) need a registry with all proto(s) the db may contain. In our case (Ads team), any other team using us could've placed their proto in our db, and during the ETL process (bigtable -> capacitor columnn db) you had to know the protos down to the leaf, as each leaf field gets made into a column (based on allow/disallow lists as we had at some point over million columns).

It's crazy, but worked.

Meh. It 'ain't braggin' if it's true. Worked with Tsutomo on some projects. Dude has an extremely keen analytical mind. Mitnick on the other hand had an excellent grasp of human intellectual frailty. I was always surprised people expected Tsutomo to be some amazingly empathetic mensch and Mitnick to be some uber mentat wizzard.

Each was quite good within their speciality, and kinda crappy in the other's. And that's totally okay.
That’s an awfully big article with no actual examples of how the tests are currently, in any way, biased.
What happens if you need to empty and refill the pool?
Agreed. The concepts were floating around before, but nothing presented the idea of an LLM quite as coherently and presciently like Rorschach did. (I hasten to add that this is in my own limited experience - I am an SFF fan but I have not read every book in existence.)

As a layman with respect to LLMs, I feel like Blindsight and its perspective of the chinese room puzzle is required reading. I wonder if people working in AI feel the same and I'd be really curious to know how they feel about the book.
> Are you upset they aren't making as much money as they possibly can, rather than what is available?

I'm not particularly upset at the moment about anything. I disagree that one should have to choose between eating today and having a chance at a real career though.

> That certainly makes it faster - you don't need to negotiate individually, instead "take it or leave it", and hopefully it's a good deal for both.

That's not what I'm suggesting. The absolute basics that ensure human decency should not need to be negotiated every time though. Use those at the starting point, and people can negotiate individually from there.

The thing is that parsing is a solved problem and has been for decades. But because this sounds like you must be incompetent if you can't do it, people get very defensive if you say it's easy. Everyone who believes that parsing is terrifying is highly invested in that belief. And it does take time to learn how parsers work. Write a parser, a parser generator, a regex engine, and then tell everyone else "it's easy" and see how that goes.
Have you validated that simple implementation with anything besides English?
It’s funny how that article doesn’t mention the most obvious reason - it turns out intelligent people generally don’t get jobs as janitors, retail workers, or other minimum-ish wage jobs. Those intelligent people then have intelligent babies.

For some reason a large part of our society doesn’t want to acknowledge that genetics (highly) influence intelligence.
>most code is already written by AI

It is not. 90% of the Job a SW dev is doing is impossible to do for ChatGPT. Writing 15 line snippets from a CS101 course is useful to reduce boring repeated tasks, but nothing more.
That's a reasonable question; I did think about it at the early stages of the idea as well.

Someone you believed was your best friend suddenly going off the rails is only one example of why you wouldn't want to be friends anymore. There's also "what do I do if we just drifted apart too far and now I don't care about their life?" or "What do I do if my best friend for life slept with my spouse?", etc.

There are at least several possible ways to deal with it. Over the course of working on friends!forever, I could've never imagined I'd make the decisions I did and add the features I did. Yet now they seem vital and even more important than some of the original ideas I put into it. At least for now, I believe that it's best to let the concept progress naturally and make decisions about how to handle situations like that when there are more people actively using the platform.

Reading falls apart, and much of the self scatters with - Harold Bloom

okay, adolescence with a computer is a new phenomenon and not something to trivially assume that TV will lead to a habit without books... (you can read things and learn on the internet, too)

I figured before reading the article that they were going to be like "people who read books (and not the news) are distant, stuck up pricks", which would also have been false because good moral people can arise whether their media diet is of any combination of fiction, nonfiction, paper news, college courses, TV, social media, etc - it's not a guarantee that a book reading 40 year old is a saint, nor that a 20 year old with a smartphone is a demon.

I think there is a huge difference between making something illegal for business (here: gambling in games) so that huge companies can't profit off of that legally, and making something illegal for people (war on drugs).

Like many people, I think the war on drugs was a terrible idea. But preventing huge pharmaceuticals companies from selling drugs isn't.
Any data on inference speed? I’ve found that the non quantized model was much faster on GPU than the quantized versions due to lower GPU utilization.
This tracks with my experience too. For the past few years, I've been using "give me the pinyin for these Chinese characters" as a rough guide for how well a given model would perform. When GPT4 was released, it absolutely nailed this task; every word was 100% correct, every single time. For reference, even GPT3.5 wasn't great at this.

I repeated this last week and it's still getting the phonetic content right, it's now often getting the tones wrong (something which I literally never saw on release).

Perhaps changing the prompt would deliver the correct results, but that's not really the point. Something has pretty clearly changed such that old prompts no longer delivering the same results.

I remember having that Eureka moment when I was a kid playing around with our Mac Classic. No modem so all you had to do was what was on your hard disk. And one of those things was Norton Utilities, which had a program called "Disk Editor". You could page through the sectors of the disk, one by one, and when there was some file-system-related data (HFS at the time) that it knew how to decode, you'd get a decoded view of it (WireShark-style) along with a pretty educational description of what it meant and was used for, which would also link file entries to the block where the file info was stored, etc.

edit: since I couldn't find any online, I booted up the ol' PowerBook 540c and took some screenshots!

Google tries internet air-gap for some staff PCs
True in theory, that is why given my Turbo Basic, Turbo Pascal, Modula-2 background, when I code in C, I do exactly that.

Follow pseudo ADT (Abstract Data Types) approach, with the classic modulename_function() pattern, everything that shouldn't be exposed is marked as static symbols on the implementation file, and for the few cases where there is a possible performance impact using ADTs, there is one or other macro.

However, that is not how most C developers program, regardless of how many books, ACCU and The C Programmers Journal articles, and conference talks on how to write proper C have been written.
> Kind of the wrong side in history there.

Manning’s leaks included vast numbers of documents related in no way to a legitimate whistleblowing issues, some of which helped spark the Arab Spring which precipitated in an ongoing civil war in Syria, slave markets and the beheading of religious minorities in Libya, and on and on all over the region affecting 100s of millions of people. I don’t know about Lamo, but Manning certainly isn’t on the right side of history and deserves to be still in jail.
Every consumer router I have seen blocks all incoming connections on ipv6 by default in pretty much the same way nat does. The only difference being that the UI allows multiple devices to listen on the same port now.

Now that the TorProject has opted to correct the record, it is too little too late. Most presentations at the time did use "TOR" and it was called the TOR router. Even they understand the acronym comes from the original onion routing project from the Naval Research Lab.

Ask HN: For 10 years I've been trying various projects, still clueless
I have a lot of experience with side-projects and startups. I will briefly explain my experience. I'm coming from small eastern European country, so my perspective on everything might be different.

1. My country is too small and market is small. You can do something here, but everything is so limited that it's terrible. 3.5M people and then when you target certain people who wants your product or service or app or website, you get super small amount of people

2. The Balkans (group of countries around my country where people speak the same language) is a better story, but every nation is so isolated. I asked yourself, how often do I use products/app/websites from the other countries and vice versa? Very rarely. Every country is in its own bubble.

3. European market. Every country has its own language, culture, mentality, etc. it's hard to get into those countries especially if you don't know the lang.

4. The US market is great because it's unified, it's easier to go viral, the language is the same, purchasing power is great, but it's a bit of a problem because me as an European don't know their habits and thinking, I have no connections or friends there, I don't know where and how to start. The market is saturated, something is happening there all the time, and now you have to break through with something new.

5. The UK is ok market, they are more related and similar to the USA. For example OnlyFans is from the UK, MillionDollarHomePage the same etc.

I had quite a lot of partners, it didn't really work out. But I think it's me, I think I function better alone. Everything I tried failed, and I tried exactly in those countries that I mentioned. Worst of all, I wasn't persistent enough.

I have the feeling like I'm trying impossible. I had no money or capital, everything I did I relied on word of mouth, but that's shit. Without good capital that will support the marketing, it's all a shot in a dark.

Sounds like I'm complaining here or trying to find excuses but I'm not, I'm still trying to make it. I'm just confused, I don't know what to pursue, where to try, which market to try
