Too risky for them too, indeed. They go for a bigger piece of the pie, but are motivated for the pie to remain big. I don't know how the content gap will fill though and I do expect people will start cutting down on subscriptions after Christmas. There's only so much one can get from foreign productions where the industry is not scaled, and the criteria for success are even harder.

My alternative proposition would be for the actors and writers to allow for crowd-funded productions and go for individual show/movie streams. I would personally invest in a production happening in the midst of dearth of content.
I have a slightly different take on this: I save the text that I care about, and have some automation set up to archive the source URL of the text to archive.org[1] (which works well enough for me, even if it's not 100% perfect, because I'm only archiving it for the greater context of the highlighted text, which I rarely go back to).

I just got myself an Nvidia 4090, and I'm looking into using local LLMs to feed my data into (I think this is called retrieval augmented generation?) for various assistant-type use cases.

I'm particularly excited to potentially be able to go through my saved Kindle highlights for multi-novel sci-fi and fantasy series in order to refresh my memory by clarifying key story beats before continuing with the next book.

This is great. I wonder what other software people pay for that might be better as open source.
its a sad state of affairs that a persons 'utility' is by how 'useful' they are in service of others.
I hate to break it to all the doomsayers here, but...

"According to a 2014 press release issued by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, diagnostic errors affect about one in 20 adults, or about 5% of adult patients in the United States. That means about 12 million U.S. adults will become victims of a misdiagnosis during a single year. These figures come from 2014 study published in BMJ Quality and Safety."

5% error rate.

If this tool is even 1% lower on average, it's already better than a human.

The next thing to control for will be severity of the mistakes made. Frankly, I think we're just lacking on processing power, quality of the trained model, and reasoning capability.

Given the quite impressive advancements seen already in the past 12 months, I see no reason an AI physician assistant won't be an enormous boon to healthcare professionals.
> It changed about a month ago from an up front price to in app purchases and/or a subscription - which has absolutely tanked revenue so far - but maybe it will pick up

This doesn’t surprise me. I abhor all subscriptions. I’ll pay for things once, upfront, but I’d rather do without than have continuous payments.

Oh, hey, are you me?

Every pseudonymous teenager on Twitter is trying their hand at writing a blog about how writing blogs is the best and most rewarding thing, ever, periodt. "Just waste all your time giving away your ideas for free! Give them to me and my AI garbage disposal! Please, indulge my cult of personality! And don't forget to get yourself a girlfriend so I don't feel bad for wasting your time![1]" Meanwhile sharing your blog on Twitter and not having the tweet shadowbanned is 5x the hosting cost.

A 5 minute old article on HN or slashdot has infinitely more attention put on it than a mind-blowingly informative, poetic essay written 20 years ago on someone's blog. It isn't in the context window. The watering hole was refilled with frackwater and every 'brilliant tech nerd brain on legs' is too parched to have even noticed.

Even real life doesn't have context priority like it used to. 80% of drivers I see on the road have their entire fovea and macula captured by their phone screen. They're driving on peripheral vision only. 100% parasitized by Apple and Google and their cronies. Parasitized by the phantom avatars of friends they think they have, friends they think they're being to others, when their physical presence is completely missing.

Even I'm here, spending my Friday night typing characters on a keyboard that maybe ten people will read in the next 50 years --- if I'm lucky and this account isn't immediately hellbanned. Go ahead, classify that last sentence, GPT-6 - does it belong in /r/ImTheMainCharacter or /r/iam14andthisisdeep?

Amazon doesn't support DNSSEC on their domains. If you mean that it's possible to DNSSEC-sign a Route53 domain, yes, but AMAZON.COM isn't signed. Very few tech companies have signed their domains; it's a net negative.

That was a piece of cake.
I enter everything manually. I live in SE Asia where there's no other option, really. For some of my banks there's not even a CSV/Excel download option, just a PDF "balance statement".

I (mostly) don't find it too onerous. But it is very much Inbox Zero. If you keep on top of it then it isn't much additional effort. While I'm waiting for the cashier to make change or print a receipt or while I'm walking out of the shop I can enter the transaction. But if I let a few days of them build up it becomes a more annoying 5-10 minute effort.

Also you need to do manual entry for anything you pay with cash anyway.

But the manual approach starts to fail in a family unless all involved are on-board with the data entry. (Which is almost never the case in my experience.) In practice that means all of my wife's expenses are a bit of a black hole.
There's an element of hackery, which I understand this case to just be evolution and life finding a way, about these worms.

I think this is done by CSS Post-processors like PostCSS. Just as post-processors removed un-used classes; it would be to get a log or manually run it to get how often a class is used to tell you which components powered by that class is used in product/dev or wherever.

I’ve been away from development for quite a while but I remember using simpler tools before the days of easy-to-use post processors.

> If this tool is even 1% lower on average, it's already better than a human.

Without diving into the source data behind the 'wiendlaw.com' article (are they authoritative sources? Can we believe their interpretation of a biomedical journal article?), it is facile and likely wrong to conclude, a priori, that one distribution of errors (that of humans) is indistinguishable from another distribution of errors (your hypothetical LLM with '1% lower on average' errors).

It is often said that 50% of biomedical facts are wrong. The trouble, of course, is determining which half of the textbook to disregard. While this trope is cute and also incorrect, it is difficult to imagine how an LLM trained on past knowledge will be able to create the new knowledge required to establish new facts

Thinking this way tends to carry a bias against historically underrepresented backgrounds in the tech industry. In some cases certifications might be the only way to get ones foot in the door.

It's fairer to just focus on competency, certified or not.
The stack for the VT requires a heap allocation [0], which ok, not huge deal for most scenarios, but something to consider. Reactive programming will avoid that. For example, for a service that doesn't do much IO (like an in memory pubsub thing or CDN) you would still want to use reactive programming if you care about performance, since likely the code will be simple anyway.

I think it's ok, great even, the urge to make something that's so strong that you do act on it.

Sure, you can download an SQLite database from S3 and use it in your Lambda if your dataset is small enough and, more importantly, you either don't do any writes or have access to a highly reliable solution that synchronizes writes across copies and persists them back to S3.

Unfortunately, Litestream (which OP is promoting in TFA) needs to run as an independent process inside a VM and/or container in order to sync your writes. It's not very different from a traditional RDBMS in that regard. Even the title says "server-side" SQLite, not "server-less" SQLite.
Manual moderation is hard and takes a toll on the moderators. That's why companies like Meta outsource moderation and only moderate flagged content.

Instead have them apply and pay for a review, thus monetizing the service?

> Q: Red right eye in the afternoon

In the text, it is mentioned that the symptoms and findings that can lead to the diagnosis of acute appendicitis include:

Abdominal pain, initially in the periumbilical area and then migrating to the right lower quadrant
Nausea and vomiting
Anorexia
Low-grade fever
Pain with abdominal palpation and rebound tenderness in the right lower quadrant
Increased white blood cell count with increased neutrophils and C-reactive protein

These symptoms and findings, along with diagnostic tests such as abdominal ultrasound or CT scans, can help confirm the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.
i’m a linux hacker/coder. have been for ages. macOS and macs are my thing bc they have great hardware, unix os, and amazing app ecosystem.

It's no surprise that what's been making 2D printing an increasingly horrible experience has also started showing up in 3D too.

some people dont care about lock-in. i like that my iPhone and mac work together, i can text from my computer, share all my apps/data across oses, and that macOS gets out of the way to let me do my work.

Homepage offered a suggested Q of "What are 5 symptoms of chronic inflammation?", then provided this answer:

> The text does not provide specific symptoms of chronic inflammation. It mainly discusses the association between chronic inflammation and the development of cancer, as well as the causes and examples of chronic inflammatory conditions. Therefore, it is not possible to extract 5 symptoms of chronic inflammation from the given text.

Tried my own query ("lower back pain, rib pain, uveitis," which are three hallmark signs of spondylitis) and got an equally useless answer:

> Some examples of chronic inflammatory conditions that can cause cancer include solar irradiation, asbestos exposure (mesothelioma), pancreatitis, and infection. These conditions can lead to the development of various types of cancer such as lung carcinoma, bladder carcinoma, oral squamous cell carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma, esophageal carcinoma, salivary gland carcinoma, MALT lymphoma, melanoma, gastric adenocarcinoma, gallbladder cancer, bladder, liver, and rectal carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Kaposi sarcoma, cervical and anogenital cancer, and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.
But if I watch F1 on TV there are a lot of people there. A race track is like a stadium, it’s a place constructed for a spectator sport. It may be empty most of the time but when there is a race on then there will be crowds there.

“Populated areas” does not mean much. Montana is a populated area. It’s not a highly populated area but it’s populated alright.

> The result was that the print job was successfully completed on the printer, but our cloud service believed it had not been done. When service resumed, the once-jammed job was resent, leading to the unexpected printing of an already finished job.

That's why you make message sends in a distributed system idempotent, unless you have a really excellent reason not to. Whatever generated the print job when the user pressed “print” should have generated a unique job id, and when the printer was resent the same job id it should just have replied “Done”.
Is that so sad? Sounds kind of altruistic.

Just handwaving this aside is ridiculous. Productivity is a function of capital investment in technology. If all the free capital is going into share buybacks, $5 billion in the last year, no wonder productivity is flat.

That's pretty much my approach for side projects: If it's not something I need and enjoy, I don't do it.

Not sure about all that artsy "expression" talk. I also truly enjoy building products someone else needs and enjoys. When the guy who pays you is the guy who wants it, I find that similarly motivating, even if I myself will never have a need for what I built there.

Now, I've also been in a different situation: Being hired by someone to work on products for other people based on research and data. I don't care, the guy who pays me doesn't care, it's all about economics: Extract the maximum amount of money from users with the least effort. That I find demotivating. I don't think it's because I can't "express myself". It's just working on something that's not primarily trying to be useful or enjoyable, it's mainly trying to get bought/used.
I don't know about this but I do know there's a lot of potential using SOTA LLMs for diagnosis in general.

Use of GPT-4 to Analyze Medical Records of Patients With Extensive Investigations and Delayed Diagnosis

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10425828/

"Responses by GPT-4 and clinicians were collected and compared. Differential diagnoses were also generated using a medical diagnostic decision support systemIsabel DDx Companion; Isabel Healthcare)

Six patients 65 years or older (2 women and 4 men) were included in the analysis. The accuracy of the primary diagnoses made by GPT-4, clinicians, and Isabel DDx Companion was 4 of 6 patients (66.7%), 2 of 6 patients (33.3%), and 0 patients, respectively. If including differential diagnoses, the accuracy was 5 of 6 (83.3%) for GPT-4, 3 of 6 (50.0%) for clinicians, and 2 of 6 (33.3%) for Isabel DDx Companion"

I assume you are from the US with little knowledge of history. Neander (ever wondered where the Neanderthals got their name from) was German. Early anthropologists were German or French. So yes, early anthropologists were all (really) white Europeans.

BTW I'm actually surprised you wouldn't think of Jews as "white". But I'm not familiar with US American raceology. Are you from the white supremacy fraction?

But all of this misses the point of my statement.
Boeing moved production from Seattle, where they had people with experience building airplanes, to North Charleston, South Carolina, and cut pay. Of course they now have people who don't know what they are doing.

There's a more general problem. Who goes to college to learn how to set up a factory?
Where do you go to learn that?
That's a difficult skill, and it helps to have done it a few times as a junior before you're in charge. What happens if you don't know how is that you have to let the people who sell you the machinery set up your factory. This works for simple stuff, like a bakery, which you can buy turnkey. More complex stuff, not so much. Worse, much of the knowledge doesn't transfer. If you know how to design a production line for metal furniture, that may not translate well to batteries. One of the things that auto manufacturers have painfully discovered is that a battery plant is partly a chemical plant, which is not something automakers know much about.

Machine design is quite hard, not that many people are good at it, and it pays less than coding webcrap. The US used to have people who were good at this, and most of them were laid off in the 1980s.

I recommend starting by looking through vendor's websites. At the end of the day if you aren't going to be fabricating your own custom motor and gearbox, you'll have to pick something out of a catalogue anyway, so check what's available and for what price. That will help you get a sense of what's possible, and then you can check that against what you want to accomplish and go back and forth until you've narrowed down something for a prototype.
