> There are many things showing up on MRIs that currently require a biopsy

they don't require a biopsy; you're still free to not get the biopsy after the mri

sometimes getting the biopsy is actually worse for you, on average, than the small chance that you'll have a very rare disease. probably in those cases you shouldn't get the biopsy, which means the mri didn't actually help you, but it didn't hurt you much either; you're US$650 poorer and worried, that's all

in other cases getting the biopsy is better for you, in which case the mri did help you

> Is that the best possible way to spend [scarce] resources?

fortunately, we have private property, so we already have a system for allocating scarce resources: their owner decides how to spend them. this turns out to work much better than the alternatives that have been tried, which routinely result in famines and genocides. so we don't need to come to a global community-wide consensus on that question; instead we can consider each case as it comes up
Definitely. I've worked on my fair share of projects where the game is essentially completely changed midway or late in development.

Stuff like "this single player game we've been working on for 2 years now has to be a multiplayer game". That was a fun one.

In other industries I've been able to reasonably strategize for various changes but in games the change can be so profound and out of left field it's pretty much impossible to anticipate the change and plan for it.
The fact that most people don't want to face is that their notes don't contain any valuable insights and their ideas are worthless.
Hi, is there a way to reach out to you?
You've missed the main negative part: the attack on our attention and mindfulness.

I really hope that the results of neurologic research won't take much longer to put an end to this disgusting behavior, which attacks central parts of the consciousness of every victim.

I like what you’re saying, but how do you provide for the existence of evil or simply incompetent scrapers who drag the system down due to incompetence?
Can't wait to try it!
I actually cracked an Apple game in about 1990. It was incredibly easy. The Mac IIci had a debug button. Press it, and it would halt the CPU and throw you into a debugger mode. The key for cracking was that it had a disassembler, which would convert the binary back into assembly code (including any comments if they were left in).

The game Tristan did not remove the comments from its code, so after disassembly, I could see the name of subroutines. One line was something similar to "GOSUB hexaddress" with the comment "doProtec". I naturally assumed this was a subroutine that would run the copy protection code. In those days it was one of those pop up windows that asked a question from a random page in the manual.

A GOSUB and an address was two bytes of code, if I remember correctly. I used the Mac built in Hex editor to edit the binary for Tristan, found the GOSUB line with the correct hex address as its argument and replaced it with two NOOP commands, which were one byte each. I saved the binary file and played the game. And it worked! I could now play Tristan without having to answer the stupid questions from the manual every time.
The artificially rationed – & frankly abusive – traditions for training & licensing doctors in the US makes me heavily discount "the general opinion among doctors" as a guide to what's systemically-optimal.

They've been strongly filtered for obedience & conformity to a deeply-broken system.
Thanks! That makes sense
Brilliant! And for forgive me for jumping in to recommend one my all-time Philip K. Dick favorites: Clans of the Alphane Moon, as it features the memorable and adorable Lord Running Clam a telepathic, intelligent and friendly slime mold from Ganymede.
Same issue for me. I need to archive a bunch of data once or twice, put the tape on a shelf in my parents home and then I don't plan to do anything with it unless my NAS self destructs.

Ideally I would be able to rent a tape drive, even if it costs 100 dollars per day it wouldn't really matter.

This article has zero value (beyond what was known a year ago).
Is there a pecking order for enrollment? If someone needs a class to graduate, and someone else is taking the class simply because it is free and interests them will the student on a graduation track get preference?

This change has just increased the demand for community college classes without increasing the supply.
Many of the design decisions they’ve taken don’t make sense otherwise. The rocket appears to be designed for reusability in Mars.

They could have followed traditional designs and saved a lot of money.
But the AWS provider is owned/maintained by Hashicorp, and I believe under the same license.
While there's multiple competing standards I'm ignoring it. At least with MTA-STS and DANE you didn't have to fork out $1000+ to support both.

There was also this which showed up a month after Google started their rollout of the BIMI checkmark: https://twitter.com/chrisplummer/status/1664075886545575941
It really is -- my iPad has the same CPU as my Mac, and it highlights just how much iPadOS lets the hardware go to waste. MacOS is better in essentially every possible way -- faster, can run whatever you like, better multitasking.

I think it's a good initiative, it's obviously there for CAs to make a buck but it's finally a way to arguably curb phishing emails that rely on similar domain names or IDN characters all the while making your brand identity more prominent.

It seems to also have learned from one of Extended Certificate's shortcomings by relying on trademark instead of company name. I actually wish something similar was created to replace EV certificates as it's easier than ever to perform phishing attacks now that everyone and their grandmas has a DV certificate on their site (which is a good thing).
You say you have 14 FTEs. But do you have at least one major developer who contributed to terraform. Could you give me the users list who will work on this project.
Not surprisingly, your explanation is the most coherent of all of them
The full body scan would be part of the problem, because it's not always clear what medicine should do given a specific finding on a scan, and decisions made on the basis of the scan would then lead to potential harms, as I outlined above. Why advocate for scans that would cause net harm?
I see two issues. Web scraping is clearly a business model problem, and that’s partly due to scale.

If you give away your content for free and expect ads to sustain you, that will start failing once others get the value out of your content without seeing the ads. Examples are ad blockers, answers embedded in Google results, Stack Overflow clones, and things like ChatGPT.

If ads weren’t your business model you wouldn’t be using revenue from it.

The other issue is scale, and I don’t know how to address it.

It’s easy for someone (say the government) to have a friendly policy and say “you can use dig in a park” thinking it’s useful to campers and such.

But when someone shows up with a professional strip mining crew, things are different.

If you run a site providing quality information for free, making money off book sales or professional services or such can be a good living. Even if answers end up in the Google answer box, more complicated stuff or analysis still requires a visit to read and people can start following you from there.

But if ChatGPT or whatever can “read” your stuff and give out 80% of the value without anyone even knowing it came from you, you’re screwed. Your business model no longer works. Any kind of “give away good information” business model fails. Same issue artists are now seeing.

And I don’t know how you fix that without some kind of ban. But unless every country everywhere enforces one… you have to work with the lowest common denominator and lock all your content up. No web search. No Google answers. No chat GPT. “Please don’t scrape me” in robots.txt won’t work.
Idk dude. To me crabs are vastly more precious and interesting than Mars. It's a rock. They are life. Weird devils advocate argument, I know, but just saying. Lots of rocks out there.
Out of curiosity - what problems did you run into?
Sure thinking about it the 'all ([]) => True', 'any ([]) => False' might be more intuitive.
There is no such thing as an open source license that prevents others from doing something specific with the software, that's basically the point of open source.
> Electronic trip devices for circuit breakers have ludicrous list prices

The last one I bought was a GFCI trip unit for a 1000A 480v Siemens breaker and it was around $6000, and that doesn’t include the cost of the circuit breaker.
if the mri scans and blood tests show strong enough evidence of a problem that will impact your life that the risk outweighs the risk of the follow-up biopsy, you should get the biopsy

if they don't you shouldn't

so either you're better off or you're no worse off

unless you have to be dealing with a doctor in cya mode
This is correct. TFCDK is also MPL (for now?).

You will be able to generate tfjson w tfcdk and execute it with opentf

Are those statements really the same?

"For all x, if x is a marble and x is in the bag, then x is white"

I would question if nothingness is a marble. Or would you say that the following statement is also true? I would say that x is a marble and therefore can be neither even or odd because it is not a number?

"For all x, if x is a marble and x is in the bag, then x is even"

That is just a nonsense question same as asking if all the non-existing marbles are of a particular color.
If we are defining ANY as an n-element LIST operator, in a programming language, which recursively applies the 2-operand AND taking literal Boolean values, there are no ambiguities.

Note that this is inherently a constructible relation, which avoids many pratfalls of more general mathematics.

But if ANY & ALL are being defined as general mathematical relations over all EXISTING members of a class (whose members’ construction, consistency or completeness, may be unknown or even unattainable), then there are other issues.

Yes.

But a preprocessor that deserves the glory.

I love many aspects of SE, but I'd _love_ if most of them were stand-alone mods that were built up into a mod pack. For instance, all of the pylons are great! The condenser turbine I think is a much nicer solution for nuclear power.
Anyone who says X must be done in Y way is most absolutely wrong. Who is Tiago Forte to tell how I should organize my thoughts? Am I a robot to follow so simply in the footsteps of another? I would like a more general approach, please.

Any serious note taker eventually realizes that the way their brain works doesn't really fit into any PARA, ARPA or any other standarized system.

Note taking is a messy business. It's not supposed to be organized because you take notes to become more organized, not to organize more notes.

Just take your notes.

Organization will automatically happen. Humans are very bad at doing things randomly. There's always an order, a sequence, a method to the way we do things. Who's to say your method is better than mine?
Forgetting about insight, I'd even love an AI powered search engine on my personal notes.

"Hey what notes did I take this week related for my job? What are the actionable things I owe others?"
you could ask that, and you would be right to

untouchable numbers have what seems like a pretty arbitrary definition and yet the article mentions the numbers being studied a thousand years ago, which begs the question: why? why not numbers that can only be produced by adding 3 primes together? why not only numbers that can be produced by multiplying squares greater than 1? there are infinite unique infinite sets of integers. why is this one more interesting than the other infinity to the degree that it's been studied for a thousand years?

if it's given that the Fibonacci sequence has uses, then knowing the numbers in that sequence is also obviously going to be useful
This is absolutely true of many personality types! But not others. (And there are perhaps some marginal temperaments that could, with more practice & supporting culture, become more sanguine about any worrying-but-non-terminal interim/probabilistic estimates.)

So, rather than denying the info from those who could use it without becoming a 'nervous wreck', maybe the optimal policy would be to offer it based on a psychological pre-screen?
It's helpful to raise the priority on fixing DMARC in an organization.

It is annoyingly expensive, but I'm expecting it to change with additional CAs entering the market. Very "EV" vibes though, but it is literally for that, so.

End users might also appreciate something nicer than autogenerated one-letter icons. Matter of taste.

It also makes phish stand out more than usual, if the user has grown accustomed. We'll see its efficacy long-term though, too early to say.
When the iPad first came out, people knocked it as "a big iPod touch".

But…maybe that wasn't a bad thing?

I feel like the iPad, despite alllll the efforts to seemingly make it a pro device, is an iPhone, but bigger. It's great for messages, browsing Facebook, and watching video, and that's just fine. Because that serves a lot of people's needs, and trying to add in a bunch more stuff just overloads the touch interface paradigm. (Ugh, the number of times I activated the split screen thing when they first introduced multitasking…)

Maybe show a little sympathy? It only looks easy because it's not our problem to solve.

> Raise the price

Although raising a price does lower demand, a different price for a test doesn't make decision-making any easier. Predicting future costs and benefits (based on test results, not the test cost) is the hard part.

Decisions about whether to do a procedure assume current technology, not imagined future technology.

Seriously, another negative Spacex story that's going to get flagged into oblivion? I agree with much of the criticism here, but this is pathetic.
Interesting commentary often appears as throwaway lines, often late in articles.

In this case:

Cal Fire’s mission is to suppress 95 percent of all fires when they are 10 acres or less.

It sounds as if total suppression remains California's official fire-management policy and protocol.

I can understand how this is desirable during peak fire season (though increasingly there is no such thing as "fire season", only "fire years"), but without permitting or initiating limited burns, the past two decades' history of every-increasingly large and ferocious wildfires is destined to continue.

As for the AI component: our human senses work best by utilising multiple senses. For wildfire detection, identifying smoke in visual imagery is helpful (and the figure of 90% coverage for fire-prone wildlands was another sobering trivium from this article), but cross-validating against other data, say, infrared thermal imaging to correlate smoke-like images with actual heat-on-the-ground would be useful. That spy-satellite remote sensing is being brought to bear is another interesting revelation here.
Ruby and Python agree on the all/any functions, but they disagree on the if. And in the "if", I think the Ruby result is better.
This is a silly thing to say. macOS is specifically designed for use with a mouse and keyboard. iOS is specifically designed for use with a touch screen.

Adapting either one to work with the other would only make it worse.
I’ll believe this when they’ve shown that they’re working on solving the problem of life support on Mars rather than a glorified taxi cab to certain death.

Can we not make it a requirement for all of these solutions to provide a small infobox about how much the prototype costs, how long it took to build, and some sort of scalability / feasibility index?

Mike Griffin structured it this way for Elon.
I have some familiarity with diagnostic imaging - a lot of the time with these scans there's enough to say "yes, there is something there you should definitely get checked out" but you can't make a full assessment without a biopsy. The MRI is going to find things you need to investigate further.

It'll also reveal a bunch of stuff you didn't need to know. Do you want to know about that minor slipped disc in your back that wasn't bothering you before? The nocebo effect is very real.
What are you missing? If only a few tasks you could just VNC to a “desktop OS” for these tasks. I would assume most things that requires such OS requires an internet connection anyway.

I still primary use a laptop, but that is because I like the form of it. So I have no actual experience trying to survive with only iOS.
To be honest I found this article to be a bit blog spammy. It’s for developers because they used a startup accelerator analogy? I didn’t see anything particularly differentiated from the equivalent SendGrid/Mailgun/etc blogs that come up.

I always found the 'multitasking' features on iPad OS to be really poor. It suspends things in the background so aggressively that any kind of switching back and forth between Safari tabs (to and from a Github Codespace) is just non-feasible. And the lack of browser dev tools without tethering to a 'real' computer.
Last time I checked they hadn't detected anything.
I'd like to see a "back of the envelope" analysis of how many MRI scanners would be needed to make this universal, and in particular how much helium we'd need. I'd guess it would be challenging, but the scale might be good for spurring advances in AI (edit, I had meant to say advances in MRI).
Sounds interesting. What are your thoughts and impressions so far?
The month or two thing will work for some exposures, but the bummer reality is that these sites are terrible and the worst of them take persistence and escalation to remove, which can take some time.

> It turns out that a fresh note created each day, labeled with a date, is a good canvas for collecting transient thoughts, which can serve as a springboard into deeper thinking.

This type of notetaking has been around forever. Ten years ago I was using TiddlyWiki exactly that way. Click the button to create a new journal and organize them by date.

> The second is known to note-taking nerds as “bidirectional linking.”

Also strange to attribute this to Roam. It was around long before Roam. TiddlyWiki had it forever. I never saw much use to it, but it was there, even if the author didn't know about it.

> In short: it is probably a mistake, in the end, to ask software to improve our thinking.

It's tough to draw that conclusion based on the arguments up to that point. Software is really helpful. I could use a plain text editor, but quality search, hyperlinks between notes, automatic naming of notes, ability to make task lists with checkable boxes, etc. is a clear win for me.
Probably nothing, just like microplastics.

You can't build stable countries in those places as long as narcotraffickers and commodity smugglers exist, and they will exist as long as we have repressive laws on drug use (in the United States and other Rich Nations) and sanctions on commodities from the same. The problem is these combined policies incentivize defacto states that aren't democratic and will extort or thwart any well meaning developers. In countries without a strong rule of law you won't get far (absent finding a way to monopolize force yourself).
I followed the thread just fine. You accused me of being rude (it was someone else) and also accused the other commenter of lying. Neither of which are true.

I agree that Nutriscore is bullshit that was designed to make stuff seem healthier than it is, and it is quite controversial in the EU.

The only good thing about EU labels is that they always have precise values per 100g or 100ml, which allows accurate calorie tracking vs. US labels with ridiculous serving sizes (eg. serving size is half a cookie. Who the fuck eats half a cookie)
