Agreed.

The only time I've submitted government ID online was for banking sites where it's only online sign up. I am OK with this because I understand this is a requirement set by the same government issuing the IDs with rules around how it can be used.

Social media sites have no such requirement. They have no such rules around the collection of this information. They can do whatever they want with it once collected. Privacy policies aren't enough. They can shift on a whim.
Cambridge itself varies from a little less than 10m above sea level to a little more than 20m above sea level. I think the highest point of Diziet’s rides was probably Royston, getting on for 100m above sea level. Lowest point probably near Soham, a few metres below sea level. Not Soham itself: the fenland towns are slightly evevated, enough that they flood less than the surrounding area.

Fun fact: in Cambridge city centre there are several streets called things like Market Hill and Senate House Hill. They are called “hills” because they used to be about 0.5m higher than other nearby streets. The difference is most visible on Benet St where there are steps from the road (gradually raised over the centuries) down to the churchyard around the tower, which is the oldest building in Cambridge, about 1000 years old.
such places would be flooded by desperate people in millions, creating slum town around it, a good breeding ground for crime. South Africa, once a functioning country got "invaded" by Zimbabweans escaping their hellhole, distorting the labour market and creating tension/crime. Too many people, unless you create hundreds of such experiments around the world.
Many flights do not have reliable internet access that is fast enough to stream video. And I want to watch what I want to watch, not the random selection of stuff I might find on the inflight entertainment. Not to mention that I want to zone out, and not hear a captive airline credit card sales pitch from the flight attendants at 90db in my headphones while they pause the video I'm watching.

So, for all those reasons, I'd prefer to download content prior to the flight and watch it in-flight.
Hmm ... idk. I disagree with that (sort of) argument in so many ways.

>The disease [...] are, in the general population, pretty rare.

Cancer is not rare, particularly from a certain age. Early detection heavily skews the odds on one's side. This is such common knowledge that it feels weird having to justify it here.

I know I'm not a "survey performed under the most strict standards of quality" but among my close groups of friends and family there have been a few cases where they got lucky enough to detect this disease very early on, and their treatment and outcome was significantly better (and cheaper, while we are at it, bc you mention cost as well) than if they've just waited even a couple more months.

OTOH, I have yet to hear a story from someone who had some sort of scan done, found something worth to take a look at, that then turned out to be nothing and, for some strange reason, had its life significantly affected by that.

Doctors are not stupid, they know (or intuitively correct for) this Bayesian Base Rate you mention, plus they have other things like years of experience in their particular field. It's not like someone's going to cut your arm the moment you find a weird looking lump growing inside.

>these scares can absolutely fuck up a month of your life

That sounds quite immature, tbh. It's definitely a small price to pay compared to all the trouble you save by potentially detecting issues early on. "Oh, but needles hurt :'(", sure, but their benefit far outweigh such small nuisance. This is also an argument I would've thought anyone would just get naturally, and yet I have to explicitly bring it up here, weird.

Also, if it came to be the case that everyone got scanned regularly, that massive trove of new data would definitely help improve the accuracy of said tests. It definitely won't make matters worse, but better.

None of those are in South America or Africa. Maybe it would be good to first understand the problem, including the geography, before proposing ideas.
If all you care about is convenience, then anything cloud or SaaS will be better for you.
Hard to say. Consider a patient without complaints with a scan that shows an abnormal bleb in or on the head of the pancreas. Physician 1 thinks it could be a pancreatic tumor given patient age and family history. Physician 2 thinks it is more likely to be a minor lifelong development anomaly with the bleb actually being an intrusive bit of the spleen.

Is exploratory surgery needed? Watchful waiting?

An acquaintance of mine with the second harmless condition had the head of his pancreas removed and he has suffered greatly for over a decade. Almost killed by FDR misinterpretation.
> They are valued at 1/3rd of what the company was purchased at

That's not really a very useful metric, because Musk paid way too much for it in the first place, and even without that it was probably overvalued to start with (IMHO). Besides, in the end a valuation, especially for a private company like Twitter/X, is not really all that useful and just a bunch of people going "well, I'd pay this much for it, I guess..."

I don't know if Twitter is doing okay or not, but I do know this is not a good metric.
I've noticed that many educated people expect other, otherwise educated people to not exhibit certain dumb behaviors. In reality, people are people. They will do dumb shit regardless of how rich or educated they are.
I don't understand what "base rates" means in this context.

If you have a test result, that you think is showing something with a certain probability, which is higher then the current necessary confidence level required to trigger further probing, and it turns out afterwards it was a false positive, my naive way to go about this would be to raise the minimum confidence level afterwards (and vice versa if it's a true positive)

Does this fail in horrible ways that I am missing right now?

I am, in general, strongly of the opinion that legal blocks to web scraping are ridiculous and a Bad Thing.

That said, ever since I added some invisible unicode characters into my name on LinkedIn and can see the fraction of spam that I receive that addresses me with a bunch of `?`s where I put the invisible characters is rather astounding. Probably half the garbage email I get has clearly scraped my name from LinkedIn.

All that to say: if you're someone who feels affronted that you aren't allowed to scrape LinkedIn, and you try to garner my sympathy about the situation, please accept my invitation to get stuffed.
Value transfer would be worse because it would create bad incentives. Now I'd have a reason to flood garbage fake (/proxy) onion sites to skim the payments. The user would have to go obtain that value too, creating logistical challenges.

There might be legal issues for the users too-- e.g. upgrading copyright infringement into criminally prosecutable commercial copyright infringement.

Can you suggest better terminology? It seems normal to me.
I have been fascinated with the idea of new types of cities for many years.

One of my main ideas is to construct buildings as public or semi-public facilities. Another idea is to have multiple levels of infrastructure such as roadways.

I imagine something like a series of egg-shaped buildings connected by multiple levels of roads for autonomous (mostly single passenger) cars. Inside are several floors of large platforms with modular buildings stacked on them. The superstructure would not need to always provide a perfect climate inside but would aim for making things more tolerable and giving the heating or cooling of the interior modules a headstart.

The buildings could have lush internal landscaping or even some type of agriculture.

IMHO I think the best points you make here are the last 2. To contrast the first 2, I have seen that many users can provide really good capabilities with RAG -- especially combined with some kind of keyword/hybrid blending so that hyper-specific terms still come up.

Of course, it's difficult for most organizations to actually test their results in a meaningful and cost-effective way, which is why we see so much of this "deploy, cross fingers, wait for a call from the CEO" behavior.
Interesting approach. I do give multiple pickup points for the same name (so while my old coal field is slowly running out, trains increasingly move to the new coal field by themselves), but I hadn't considered doing the same with the drop-offs.

And I haven't yet figured out how to disable drop-offs that don't need anything. I often have a single train bring stuff to a couple of drop-offs, but that always feels sloppy. I have to use timeouts on the trains so they don't linger at a station that's too full to empty them. Disabling those stations and giving them all the same name might be a better alternative.

No because the doctor can be successfully sued for not ordering the followup even when the followup would not have been in the patient's best interests. I.e., juries are irrational.
I don't wholly disagree with you, and in fact think you have a very good and thoughtful perspective (FWIW), but I do have some thoughts.

I think there's too much focus on advertising and corporate interests as the thing that undermines journalism. There's such a thing as to little focus, but right now there's too much focus.

For example, I have seen people lionize particular doctors, or researchers, or climate scientists, or what-have-you, who hold contrarian opinions on particular subjects. Clearly those people, in the minds of those who lionize them, have fewer conflicts of interest than advertising-driven journalists or powerful government officials.

The problem is that there are powerful motivations for people to lie or deceive that are equal in power to advertising money. Power through influence. Power through self-righteousness.

For example: I've looked into various vaccine conspiracy theories that have been touted online, and some of them come from highly credentialed people, sometimes with excellent historical track records in medical fields, who none-the-less are playing fast and loose with the data, or drawing conclusions that cannot be backed by research. The people who tout those theories look to those originators, those highly credentialed people, and say, "Look, there's Dr. So and So, they aren't part of Big Pharma, so they must be on to something". Then I look into Dr. So and So's blog, and look at the research they're citing, realize they're misinterpreting, or exaggerating, or what-have-you. In short, they are deceiving the public. They aren't financially motivated to do so. So why do they do it? Well, there's plenty of reasons. A desire to be right. A desire to be relevant and respected. A desire to have an audience. I think these things are easily as powerful, and often more powerful, than advertising money held over a journalist at a large media company.

And I see benefits to journalists working in groups with editorial control. I've seen great authors go astray in terms of quality when they start self publishing, or somehow become influential enough that they can shrug off their editors. I believe any journalist would be subject to the same forces of ego, influence, etc. If a journalist is making their money through Substack subscriptions, that may be even more of an existential threat than one faced by a journalist at the NYT, who can more readily absorb the financial hit of a story that goes nowhere. The subscribers, after all, now have expectations of what they will get from that journalist. Juicy stories -- at any cost?
Right, but there's no contamination studies there. I suspect that RLHF data leaked HumanEval into GPT-4.

It just seems unlikely to me that GPT-4's coding abilities have improved since March (when 67% was officially reported by OpenAI) given all of the examples and anecdotes about degradation.

This is why we use the official numbers.
Try a deathworld then. Once you're comfortable defending until you can secure flamethrowers, you can add in some mods that slightly extend or complicate the early/mid game (like AAI industries and/or Krastorio2). Especially with K2, you get some new options for controlling your pollution (planting trees, running greenhouses, air filters...), and in the endgame you get the tech that enables fully self-sustaining bases. I think all of these are interesting alternatives to the endless expansion and the sudden, rapid power spike of the base game.

Ask HN: I Am Looking for a Cofounder
The general concept is to create an AI-first company that creates "instant apps"/"streaming apps" on the fly.It uses the users location and other metrics to create a personalized experience.

Brief example:(this example is just to explain and our startup is for general purpose scenarios)

Suppose,you enter into a restaurant and based on your location data and context,a mobile application is generated and you are able to view menu ,order stuff,chat with staff about your queries,see waiting time, give reviews etc.The restaurant staff will also have a application that the owner of the restaurant has assigned permissions/roles(like a discord server) and they are able to interact with customers.

Current Focus for idea evaluation:(eventually to consumers)
Conferences,Enterprise Clients on a small scale to evaluate if the idea is feasible or not.

Goal:
Use sophisticated algorithms aka "Good App Generation Algorithms" to make consumers and businesses interact effectively and efficiently.

Co-founder:

You do know that Steve Jobs bought the DeathStar Rendering System from Lucas' ILM back in the day because Lucas wasn't sure about running it, and Jobs bought it and started PIXAR.

I'm all for alternative sources of energy (including nuclear) but I feel like generating and storing nuclear waste for future generations parallels how coal/oil/gas/etc. ruined the environment that our current generation has.

- not enough waste to be an issue

- waste is properly secured so won't be an issue

- less impact than coal/oil/gas

One of the flaws of the comment format is brevity mixed with a tendency to write conclusions without the reasoning behind them.

Mojo is an extension of python. In addition to the existing syntax, there are new keywords to opt into a more static set of semantics, chosen to compile directly to efficient code. You can have a machine integer instead of an arbitrary size python one, but they have different names. This gives you a path to writing code which doesn't opt into pythons compilation challenges. Or you can compile raw python as-is, but you get whatever type inference it manages, and some things aren't implemented yet. It also has calls into cpython for some stuff, but that's not inherent to the implementation strategy and I hope will not last forever.

This is personally interesting because it takes the python + C extension model, and the adjacent C++ that shows up nearby, and reassembles the semantics under a single compiler stack which has a credible path to optimising across the combination.

This is perilously close to what I want a programming language to be, possibly to the extent that I'm assuming they're going to do the obviously correct things in the future, so I would be interested to hear if any of the above is disjoint from your understanding. It may mean I need to recheck that they've built what I think they have.
Honest tries are hard to come by because people are flawed. Even if they start out with good intentions, they inevitably get greedy and it’s just a changing of who is rich and poor more than anything else.
The core of every HashiCorp product is/was OSS. None of Spacelift is OSS, for example.

I’m not claiming it’s not the same monetization model, but with endless talk from these companies about the commitment to OSS and the virtues of OSS and the benefits HashiCorp has and would continue to receive by keeping their code OSS - it’s just ironic to see most of these companies have no open source code and aren’t actually willing to commit to an OSS model.

I’m not sure I understand your idea; the only way to build a stable country in these regions would be to regime change a less stable country, or perhaps carve out some territory from the existing countries.

One possible explanation is to make PyTorch victory over TensorFlow/JAX even more apparent: with Google ceasing to release interesting open-source models, and Facebook / Meta continuing doing so (even if under a less permissive license than usual), it means that there's nothing interesting in the TensorFlow/JAX ecosystem, and a lot in the PyTorch one.
