Show HN: Tenalog – A Tool for SLPs to Automate Note-Taking and Progress Tracking
Hello everyone! I'm excited to share with you my latest project - a software system called "Tenalog", specifically designed to aid speech language pathologists (SLPs) in writing their notes efficiently and improving patient progress tracking.

Around 4.5 years ago, I set out to develop a solution that would help SLPs extract structured data from their patient notes to track patient progress over time. The initial version of this software, a visit note editor, included advanced keyboard shortcuts to streamline this process. Though it was a significant step forward in data collection and progress tracking, the steep learning curve for the keyboard shortcuts and the conventions posed an initial challenge to our users.

Inspired by this feedback, I moved to the next iteration where I incorporated AI to automatically extract structured data. This change dramatically alleviated the burden on the therapists, cutting down the time it took to write a comprehensive note and further enhancing the ease of progress tracking. However, I still felt there was more to be done.

A question that continued to linger in my mind was: what if the note could write itself? What if the SLP could dedicate 100% of their attention to their patient during the session? Personally, I struggle with multitasking, so I wanted to devise a solution that would allow individuals like me to be entirely present in the session, without the background stress of trying to remember the details of the ongoing proceedings.

This line of thinking led to the creation of "Tenalog" (tenacious logging). To utilize Tenalog, all the therapist needs to do is record the session. Tenalog then auto-generates a complete transcript with speaker labels, a visit note, detailed progress tracking data, a parent summary, the next session's plan, as well as links to evidence-based practice references relevant to the patient's current goals.
Nobody's arguing in favor of building more coal plants. The fact that nuclear is better than coal is irrelevant to the discussion of what new plants to build.
I think the footnote is pretty much the solution.. imagine you implement replication within a DC. Yes you risk data loss and maybe inconsistency (if you fail over to a new region and start doing writes without a way to fix this later) when the DC becomes unavailable but you can now offer strong consistency without expensive cross DC hops. Pretty sure this is how Google Cloud Spanner is implemented: you have a single region for writes and everywhere else is just a read partition? And it’s probably nothing fancy to set the read partition, just pick the first hop at the time of creation

Basically: implementing a distributed global db without structuring the topology to minimize hops/making engineering trade offs can’t be fast. It’s all about deciding which part of the CAP theorem you want to relax.
usually I do something like:

# ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig eth0 up

that said, I have done this:

# reboot

I believe you underestimate peoples ability to ruin their own lives, regardless of what laws and regulations are put into place to try to help them.

We’ll be in a much better place if more people become knowledgeable in the workings of their own minds, bodies and emotions so that seeking self-destruction is less common.

One of the variants of the Football (American football) game called "FTBALL" is particularly intriguing; you will notice that the playable team is Dartmouth. This game is traceable back to Dartmouth College, where and when BASIC was first developed by Kemeny and Kurtz. It was, as I recall, originally written by members of the Dartmouth football team as a way to have a bit of fun. The idea that someone who wasn't a scientist, engineer, or professional programmer could program a computer to some non-tech, non-business purpose was a huge mind blow at the time, and a major contributor to BASIC's enduring popularity.

Not series, maybe a bit serious:

Cloud computing energy use appears to be on an exponential trend driven by general trends (all things automated), with new forms of automation compounding competitive pressures (deep learning models quickly getting larger, more powerful, more useful, and more versatile in a way erasing many lines holding back past competition.)

At some point, it seems inevitable that computing usage will be a first level climate driver, regardless of how green the energy is.

Harnessing orbital solar, fission and fusion power, may solve the CO2 energy problem, without requiring us to steal the biosphere's energy needs, but will eventually create a massive waste heat energy problem.

Unless we find someway to efficiently transfer mass amounts of heat energy off of Earth.

Or we eventually limit computing on Earth, and export that to the Moon and beyond.

So at one point the answer was robots.txt and now it's not: https://blog.archive.org/2017/04/17/robots-txt-meant-for-sea... - that information appears to be current - email info@archive.org and request removal is the process, which some "reputation management" firms talk about. Weirdly I can't find much info.

Furthermore, I don't think archive.org tries to hide/obfuscate their user agent so it's relatively easy to block them - I know that it's possible to manually upload stuff to archive.org, and there are other sources (partnerships with Cloudflare and Brave, at a minimum) but that's not as easy as the Wayback Machine.
The guarantees provided by the PBGC are very limited and create a terrible moral hazard. Defined contribution plans such as 401(k) are much safer because the assets are in individual named accounts which aren't at risk if the employer or plan sponsor goes bankrupt. Most such plans allow employees to invest in risk-free assets such as Treasuries if they desire.
The recent unscientific moral panic about "skunk" has been bizarre to watch. Even conservative Germany is on track to legalize cannabis in the very near future (usage and cultivation, though perhaps not sales quite yet), and in the UK it's just not even a conversation.

You keep saying that about effect of moderation on fact- vs opinion-based questions. You haven’t proven it, though. Let’s look at an alternative.

They could’ve created different categories of questions where some are fact-based and some are opinion-based. Then, focused moderation on the precise questions that need higher quality. Their search engines can also put them ahead of opinion-based questions.

In that way, they keep the questions they prefer at a high, quality level while others are hit and miss. The latter are still there to benefit people. Users will then go where they prefer to go. StackOverflow would have both types of traffic.

Caffeine is addictive, marijuana is not.

Unless you're one of those morons who can't tell apart psychological symptoms from physiological ones.

You won't get flu-like withdrawal symptoms after quitting cannabis, but, if you became psychologically dependant on it (eg. as a way to cope with depression), you will experience anxiety.

NX with a Nest.js backend, and Next.js front-end. These tools just aren't very nice to jam together into a fullstack app. I'm really not a fan of NX itself. Lots of people love it, but I think it's way too much for most use-cases.

Furthermore, in our case, the front-end and backend are really coupled, so having these as separate systems is just a big headache. All of the web app's views are tied into specific backend functionality, and our API doesn't really stand on it's own without the front-end.

Yes this is poor architecture. I'm just pointing out a case where JAMStack was a mistake. Rails (or similar) would have been a smarter choice.
> having conversations in Slack somehow becomes documentation because you can search for things

It was probably oversold like that, but in my daily life, the old threads i find in slack people troubleshooting similar things from way back when, that can be life-saving. Totally not a replacement for proper docs, but still an improvement to have those past threads around.
I see what you did there ...
I have a hard time trusting climate data from before we had satellites or other forms of precise automated recording. If climate scientists are telling us they _know_ detailed information about global atmospheric temperatures, greenhouse gas concentrations, etc. over millions years because they cored some ice from a select set of places on earth, I just don't know how an average person is supposed to believe that. It appears to the layman to be data generation on par with an episode of CSI where the lab somehow 'enhances' low res photos to high res.

Where are the million year long experiments demonstrating how ice and its contents changes over such long time spans, that vast majority of which we were not even conscious for as a species? It is too many variable to fit into any sort of computing technology today, and the science is mostly based on statistics which everyone knows can be twisted easily.

Sounds like your lead engineer setup NX too soon. we made it about 5 years in to our monorepo before having to use tools like that. Once we were at a point where our codebase included multiple products, apis, frontends was when build and test times became unbearably slow and only then did we add NX to conditionally build changes and their dependants. I wouldn't recommend starting a new project with it by any means.

When I was eating edibles every day I'd easily do 500mg doses. That said tolerance falls very quickly, 50 is fine now that I take it less often.
I could have done better on the initial definition -- the key context is "recreational" use.

It's incredibly important that we collectively recognize that alcohol is a drug. More so, recent research shows that it has zero health benefits. We need to understand the extensive damage it does to society -- not to demonize or prohibit it, but to give context to when pearl clutching happens about other drugs.

Likewise, people should understand the history of the War on Drugs and be aware of the real reason they came about (spoiler: to oppress their users).

It is true that psychedelics can have incredible therapeutic value, but they can also be a lot of fun (I certainly consumed them in that context when I was much younger). Cannabis can be added to that list, as well as others.

So yes, let's be entirely honest about the subject (which I'm trying to do). We can't wish them away, so let's deal with it like rational adults and minimize the risks of harm.
It is weird to see Java listed as a "scripting language". Although these are all very loose definitions, I'd assume Python, Lua, Tcl, Perl, Ruby, Basic...etc as scripting languages.

I enjoyed the read. For readers who skim the comments before deciding to read the submission, a main idea of the author Nielsen is that one of the most important principles to develop a successful research career is to carefully choose the right area of study, making sure there are lots of opportunity for growth.

The author makes the case (after a good deal of noting that his advice may not apply to every reader) that finding a niche with growth potential is far more important than your abilities, or even your willingness to choose the most difficult topics. Another major idea of the author is that keeping a positive attitude about your work over time is crucial, and you should be cautious if you are beginning to feel cynical about your work. The author also notes that you should make sure to rest properly and take vacations to avoid feelings of exhaustion.

A particularly interesting quote from the Nielsen was: "[...] By contrast: you can be astoundingly talented and hard working, but if you're in the wrong area you will only make a minor contribution."

Another perspective by computer scientist Donald Knuth is relevant to one of Nielsen's nuanced points (that he advises against "figuring out what's fashionable, and going where the crowd is going"). Knuth wrote [1]: "Don’t just do trendy stuff. If something is really popular, I tend to think: back off. I tell myself and my students to go with your own aesthetics, what you think is important. Don’t do what you think other people think you want to do, but what you really want to do yourself. That’s been a guiding heuristic for me all the way through."

To integrate the two perspectives, it's plausible that when choosing an area of focus, a researcher may find it useful to find a balance between selecting an area of high growth, while also trying to avoid fads or trends that may fizzle out or lose favour years from the present.

This kind of perspective ("but <web site whose content is created by humans> isn't about <essential notion of humanity>") is the bane of such platforms. I think it stems from an engineer mindset that considers users as abstract entities rather than people. Almost as if people are like sun's rays that energize your web site, rather than actual beings who experience it, have emotions and all kinds of complexities and individual differences.

Any web site that relies on humans for its content must accept humanity, and commit to serve the needs of the humane sides of its users. Otherwise, you'll end up with all kinds of toxicity, abuse, and finally abandonment that is observed with SO.

Clearly I'm becoming a dinosaur. Back in the days there were newsgroups and IRC. What do the non-dinos use these days?

Like, not long ago I was looking for a library to X in language Y. Most of my questions are like that, so SO is almost never a fit for me. And I'd love to get some input from people who have tried the alternatives.

So yeah, where's the plethora of places to ask for such things?

It's amazing how common this attitude is, when the opposite is true. From working in U.S. municipalities, I can promise you there are regular monthly or quarterly meetings where these issues and budgets are brought up, specifically to solicit public comment.

Beyond open forums, it's so easy to find the name of a park director, and schedule a face to face. They might not be thrilled to field the issue, but they are bound to by their public office. If they don', there are so many ways to force the issue (e.g. go one office above them until someone sees it as politically useful).

My concern is that it's easy to be concerned online, but it does nothing but empower government overreach. So much better to translate real concern into effective local action.
> he admitted to giving an equal amount to Republicans

I think this should be "claimed" rather than "admitted", till some evidence of it appears, because the statement he made was more self-aggrandizing than it was an "admission".

> Production of batteries may grow in the future,

To me it seems reasonable to assume that not only will battery consumption grow, it will grow exponentially (over the medium term - say the next 10 - 50 years). Rationale:

- There is high demand

- The production process is well established technology that can be easily replicated

- There are no obvious limits to growth in the medium term (In the short-term there are resource constraints as mines are opened).
On a tangent, is Twitter broken for anyone else? I can now view profiles again without being logged in, but it only shows me really old Tweets.

You don't understand how addiction works. Most people can try almost any drug and not get addicted. Some people will seek out drugs and get addicted no matter what the laws are. Banning the drugs does nothing to help most people, because they don't need any help, they don't have the genes, the impulsivity, the lack of executive functioning for it to be a problem!. It does plenty to harm the people who are going to get addicted anyway.

And I mean, if you have to use Singapore as some shining example of your vision of the world, you're pretty far into crazy land already. There is no way to meaningfully enforce drug legislation without violating human rights en masse. History has proven this again and again.

Nuclear plants produce 68% of the energy in France. If that’s not statistically relevant, doubling the number wouldn’t be statistically relevant either.

For that matter, even in the USA, nuclear power produces about 10% of all electricity. Multiply that by 10 and that’s the entire population as a sample.
