> I’m sorry, but if I’m at a place in my life where this is a reasonable expense, even 1% odds such a scan turns up something genuinely troublesome is very worth it.

That's actually not how diagnostic tests work.

Because of Bayes theorem, tests that have a high likelihood of returning a positive result in a high-incidence population are totally useless when applied to asymptomatic random people in the general public.

Your likelihood of being harmed by one of these wild goose chases exceeds the chance that an early diagnosis will help you. First, you don't know there's a 1% chance that it'll turn something up - you don't know the chance at all. And you also don't know the likelihood and magnitude of harm chasing down false positives.

That's why we don't test people randomly for things they likely don't have.

It's just a logical fallacy and cognitive bias to think that doing something, anything, is better than doing nothing. Often that isn't the case.

> It’s a life we are talking about.

Which is why we shouldn't let our biases pull us in unhelpful directions.

It would be a scandal either way, but tragically CBS decided to make it a racially charged scandal because that clearly drives engagement. It's pretty disgusting.
Tests freeze code and design. Often this is exactly what you want but sometimes it's not what you want at all. If your internal interfaces are unit tested then you can't refactor easily because you'll break all your tests. However, if only your external interface is unit tested then those tests actively benefit refactoring the internals.
That's what I was thinking. I'm trying not to write Actors off because I'm not an expert on game dev and can imagine the possibility of an unusually large-scaled game. But yeah, if you're writing a typical game, I imagine you're best off doing it the typical way that's been optimized for.
It might be better just to sacrifice specific spots rather than to try to spread it evenly.
I would personally expect an eight year old could figure out the importance of crime scene evidence in that situation.

I have a Miele dishwasher in the US. It works great, but normal clean cycle is 2h37m :( it takes forever. Comes out clean though!

I run it on sanitize (baby bottles) with just pods (and rinse aid, it helps getting the water off/dry) and everything comes out squeaky clean. No matter the gunk on it.

Had a Bosch when I lived in Germany. 1h14min for a normal cycle, pods. Came out squeaky clean too. I miss that machine. The extra time the Miele in the US takes is really annoying
Projects Innovating Around RISC-V
We all know how that's going to play out
We had advanced image processing techniques to detect tumors almost 20 years ago. With more advancements in computing power and AI techniques, it should be so much quicker and easier to do the same. The AI need not be conclusive but it could be a great assist to a radiologist who is looking at the scans.
Right, so the point still stands. The Fed is granted the power to literally set the interest rate the US government pays on its debt. Laws that are created through human political means, not natural physical laws. The challenge is that there’s been such a dumbing down of political economic understanding that people have premised their understanding on ‘markets’ being some kind of divine natural law of the universe which blinds debate, arguably intentionally, away from what is possible to what satisfies vested interests
Yes, but they can sit at a screen and analyze this stuff all day. It's not like a surgury where you have 3 or 4 OR staff and dozens of support staff to account for who all have to be on site and scrubbed in, etc.
This is interesting, I do something similar with unfetch.com - I have some examples on unfetch.com/directory - There are a lot of potential use cases for LLm & APIs
Thanks, that is fascinating. The amount of gold/silver is too. Even just the amount of salt. Measure in parts per 1000! I like having a wow moment about something we take for granted.
$2,500 sounds like a bargain. I had to fight an insurance company to get someone an MRI of their head.. With insurance it came out to $2,100.
In my experience it is not the amount but the composition of the pod/tablets that makes a huge difference. My machine (Miele) on the same cycle program has excellent results with Dreft pods, Ok'ish with Sun tablets and very poor with Finish.
> I had a CT scan of a fracture taken when I was a child, and doctors coincidentally discovered a tumour.

> My mum discovered she had breast cancer through a routine mammogram.

These two are not the same thing. We do mammograms, and only in women over a certain age, because they're a high risk population.

CT scans, especially chest CT scans, expose you to huge amounts of radiation. The odds that you randomly stumble on a super low-incidence tumor is dwarfed by the fact you're exposing people - especially children in your case - to large doses of ionizing radiation.

A chest CT scan smacks you with 7 mSv which is about the same as spending an hour at Chernobyl, or 7X the EPA annual dose limit for radiation exposure. [1]

Lest we not forget Bayes theorem. We only do tests on people who are likely to have the condition otherwise the risks associated with a false positive outweigh the benefits of early detection.

Even if it does, it's a ceramic which makes its very limited for usability and you won't see it in an MRI machine or transmission line like the media wants you to believe. Also we actually already have some high temp super conducting ceramics.

We need a metallic high temperature super conductor.

Okay, so the first dev writes 60 lines of indecipherable code, runs some sample invocations, looks at the output, says it looks good. A few months later, someone - maybe the original dev, maybe some other sucker - notices that in some edge case the code misbehaves. Now what? (Obviously, any answer that involves "don't write code with bugs" or "write perfect tests" is a nonstarter)
I think the 9/11 and JFK conspiracy theories are dissimilar, almost opposite.

The official explanation for 9/11 is also the simplest possible explanation: terrorists carried out a very low tech and plausible hijacking attack that exploited some rather obvious holes in our airline security.

The 9/11 conspiracy theories are orders of magnitude more complex than this official narrative.

I don't think the JFK "second gunman" theory is more complex than the official truth. In it's simplest form (Oswald worked with another gunman, but there was no overarching conspiracy involving Russia or Martians or lizardmen or whatever pulling the strings) I would argue it's simpler than the official narrative.
Microsoft Edge is a privacy nightmare. They have buried dozens of data-collection settings in so many menus under so many different names and categories it's insane.

Is that not just the outcome of #1? Short of trying to capture many different things in a singe test, which then becomes a nightmare for future readers, a single test just isn't going to touch that many lines of code and if you get ahead of the tests by doing more while you're in there then you're back to the problem #1 tries to solve.

No one says you have to follow up with anything invasive. I know someone who had a sinus polyp turn up on an MRI. Knowing what it was let him live with the symptoms it was causing without fearing that it was something much worse. I don't think he ever got it removed.

If you don't have symptoms and a scan showed an incidental something, you don't have to act. Personally, I'd rather know. And, if something does go wrong in the future you can say "I have an X in my left Y." Might give the doctor a place to start debugging.
You don't need to litter print statements, you can litter log statements :D

I can't even remember when was the last time I was on a project where debugging would've been even a bit doable. Maybe, just maybe, during development when it's running on my computer.

But it worked on my computer, that's why it ended up in production =)

With proper logging (or just print statements) I can go in after the fact and narrow down what happened when it didn't work in a specific situation.
It will still need to spread from that spot.
Thats the point, you didn't apply the precepts and therefore did not fulfill their purpose - and by so doing, manifested the very thing they were designed to prevent.
I'm not suggesting that, at all. I just don't like the framing that any new screening process must be part of a "quest to live forever" instead of a quest to e.g. live long enough to go to your kid's wedding.
Open sourcing windows probably would be so difficult that you could consider it a nearly impossible task.

Over 40 years of licensing and patent agreements with thousands of companies and institutions with the unavoidable flux of acquisitions, merges and deaths, big customer agreements. You'll need an army of lawyers and sizable team of developers working in a multi-year project to secure all the paperworks and sanitize the code where you couldn't reach an agreement with the other party.
Same person posted that thread as this one.
Tracing debuggers give you the best of both worlds. I've recently started using Flow-storm [0], by @jpmonettas), and it's been quite transformative. You can still easily see the values flowing through your system (better than just "prints"), and it can handle multi-threaded / async scenarios quite nicely. You don't need to manually step through code, you can just "see" your data flow, and when you have loops or some other form of iteration, you can see the data for each pass. Coupling this with a good data visualization tool (such as Portal [1]) really feels like magic. I've been doing Clojure for quite a few years now, and was very happy with my plain REPL-driven workflow, but this is way better.

Just plant trees in the cities. Go and Chech what is the difference of temperature in cities with trees and without. Of course sometimes it's too late: in my hometown they cut away 40 huge trees and made a market square, "because that's what they do in Netherlands" (exact explanation of local ministry), and now you cannot pass the market square in a hot day. Installation of some sort of irrigators doesn't make difference and is not hygienic (see Legionella). They took away trees and grass and made everything concrete.

Meanwhile my parent's home is much cooler, no AC needed because they have trees between the blocks
I think the point is more that rich tech folks (like many people) think doing more testing must be good even if there's no scientific evidence to support that conclusion - the difference is rich tech folks can afford it anyways, and they're going to be very loud about it.
It's the same thing, just one company has taken it further. I realize this is a slippery slope argument, but when there are countless examples of how this slopes is slippery, I think it's a valid point of contention.
He was with the kids when it happened. THEN they hustled him into the plane, and took him to a bunker.
1 tech to take the scan. And another one to actually examine/interpret the scan. Which for a full-body scan with no symptoms or specific areas to examine takes a lot longer than just taking the scan.

> They may be expensive, but they don't get $100 an hour

Radiology is one of the highest paying medical specialties. My cousin is one of the radiologists who interprets scans. He makes about $500k per year. Searching online, about $170/hr is average.

While this is true for coal, algae can still form oil. Oil is primarily formed by organic material dumped out by river deltas that are sealed by their sea drying up. That is why places like the Gulf of Mexico are so oil rich. Seabeds are pretty much organic sludge which can be sealed in by salt, and then compressed and heated into oil.
Yes definitely, one has to assume that from time to time, bugs will reach the prod servers, no amount of tests and code review can completely prevent that.

Hopefully the kill switch system is reasonably easy to code review and test :-)
How is a minimum age not ageism?

> There are great advantages to age, and people age differently.

The problem is the health of elected officials can't be trusted--their medical staff explicitly mislead or omit issues. "A pharmacist says he has filled Alzheimer's prescriptions for members of Congress" A single news article from a handful of years ago (and a huge ethical breach) is often brought up because there's a problem. That's the only reason anyone is interested in finding another proxy.
> there are less extreme examples such as McMaster-Carr. They've had the same design more or less since 2010 at least and it is usually considered both functional and tastefully current.

On desktop, sure. But they don't work in mobile. And that's easily 80% of the troubles of modern design: to avoid building everything twice, today people write "responsive", "mobile first" websites that, on desktop, tend to have an excessive amount of whitespace and other issues (see for example the old vs new reddit layout)

What's being demanded of websites in 2023 is just much more difficult to do well than what people wanted in 2010.

Is there any other profession where as a general rule, they don’t pay state/local taxes?
> I would imagine this is downplayed because us insurance companies are generally not huge fans of expensive preventative care procedures...

Sure this but also: the evidence does exist and it will be a huge expensive, inconvenience, and maybe dangerous unnecessary tests/surgery for >90% of the population. Really someone has to do the math to determine the inflection point; X% of people will get some early cancer/positive result found early, Y% will get a false-positive and undergo expensive and unnecessary procedures, and Z% will still get a false result but have cost some amount of money and time.

From a public health perspective, this is unlikely to be the best-next-thing because so many people die from more preventable diseases/things or lack access to health care at all. Is it a obvious service for the upper class in SF? Certainly, because the market thinks they are 5-30x more valuable than the average person so 2.5k is nothing to be extra certain of their survival.

Does that sound weirdly dystopian? Sure, but it is just moving your chance of living (for the next year as our unit) by 0.00001% or less. Most people would not spend 2.5k on a 1/100k outcome.

What room+ temperature ceramic superconductors are there? Why would this not still be immensely useful anywhere a ceramic superconductor is currently used?
Imagine winning the online bet after it drops to < 5% confidence. Yum.

Why are we supposed to believe this new paper? Realistically there’s nothing here. This is an announcement of an announcement.

In other words, your stock investment better be worth it or get taxed if you change your mind. This tax policy introduces positive feedback loop that makes big companies like Amazon bigger. Not sure how profound this component is, people trade stocks all the time.
Heh. When reading that Wikipedia article, they only referenced European (and UK) countries in their "Adoption and Bans" section. That kinda made me view the entire world as "The US or EU/UK", and—with that anchoring—I assumed you must live "in the other one".

Here's a decent breakdown for US installs: https://solaractionalliance.org/residential-solar-panel-cost...

Your 5-10k range installs will be $10-20,000 AFTER the tax credit, which might be a little higher now than when that graphic was put together.

Of course, this doesn't account for things like needing to re-do existing electrical work to get affected areas up to code, or if you need to replace the shingles on your roof while you're at it because it's typically recommended to do both at the same time if you're going to add solar.

Then again, you may also have the problem of ensuring your roof will withstand the extra weight, depending on the system. Most people are probably fine here, but for older houses in snowy climates it's worth thinking about as well.

I've looked into solar for my house. Aside from not getting enough sun throughout the day due to tree shade, there's also the problem that every solar calculator available wants to pretend that energy prices are going to go up 5% a year. Well, I've lived at my current house for 5 years and they haven't gone up once. The real payback for me is 20 years, if I'm lucky, even without the trees in the way.
