The article is about UK doctors not recognizing PANDAS as a real illness.

They even quote one doctor who refused to treat "an American illness".

The US NIH has a page on PANDAS and our (US) diagnostic and treatment recommendations here: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/pandas

If you wanted an example of "US healthcare bad" then this is not it. The article is about UK doctors not recognizing a condition and the activities in Parliament to address the situation.
I think it's slightly better than <insert anonymous three day old Chinese company here> but just slightly. Amazon Basics within my company has earned a reputation for being extremely fragile crap that will break quickly and, occasionally, dramatically. I have had absolutely awful experiences with their surge protectors.

But yes - it's a step up from YAYWOWND which is a company that probably didn't exist last week and almost certainly won't exist in a month when their product spontaneously combusts and you try and chase down damages or at least a refund... Still, I'm actually finding myself buying more and more name brand crap because at least that way I know there's a company I can reach out to when it breaks down.

Hell two months in any psychology course will have you questioning that. We are truly biological beings first and rational agents second.

One of the most non-obvious discoveries we made was that for such long documents, turning it into a Markdown (with marked headings), as opposed to plain text, made a night-and-day difference in LLM's reasoning performance. I have my guesses as to why this could be the case, but I'm curious to hear your hypothesis and whether you've seen similar effects in the wild?
If anyone knows a 3d printing service in the US that does prices comparable to JLCPCB I'd be glad to get some recommendations!
I don't think it ever makes sense because the large players will always be able to make new innovations (mobile apps, natural language querying, SSO integrations, etc) that, short of large corps hiring BI teams to invest in the open source ecosystem like superset, your open source solution won't have.
Hopefully it works. Amazon has done so much damage to this world....
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PANDAS

> Pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections (PANDAS) is a controversial hypothetical diagnosis for a subset of children with rapid onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or tic disorders.

> The proposed link between infection and these disorders is that an autoimmune reaction to infection produces antibodies that interfere with basal ganglia function, causing symptom exacerbations, and this autoimmune response results in a broad range of neuropsychiatric symptoms.
does seem weird as the flu usually makes me sore and not want to move at all.
I think grocery stores are culpable for a lot of shady behavior.

The least of which is selling end cap space (most walking traffic) to the highest bidder, meaning a lot of junk food and impulsive-purchase products are put in the highest traffic places.

At least on Amazon it's marked as a sponsored result. Even if most people click the first result anyway.

Both Amazon and grocery stores can be in the wrong.
and others spend a lot of time attacking large companies simply because they are large. In this case, AMZN. AMZN is like the cheapest place to buy things online. But it's not the only place. So, why is FTC going after them?

Isn’t Amazon also the publisher for a nontrivial number of ebooks on Amazon?
There's the old line about "temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

I feel like Hacker News types see themselves as "temporarily embarrassed monopolists."
Some people will just defend anyone or anything regardless of tribalism. Just based on what they think is ethical and/or factual.
If Mathematics helps in explaining Nature/Universe then it is "Real" no matter if the explanation goes through a whole stack of abstractions or not. There are two main parts;

a) A Formal System consisting of Set of Objects, Operations, Mappings, Axioms and Logic Rules. We invent the symbols and notations to express these.

b) A Domain of Discourse/Interpretation in which the above is applied to map to "Reality".

We Humans have an innate sense of Quantities, Proportion, Objects and Relationships which is what can be called the "Mathematical sense". Even the most uneducated goatherd can count his goats (eg. using pattern-matching with one stone per goat) without knowing anything about the number system. He can also compare his bunch with his neighbour's and tell you which is larger. If you throw a ball at him he can estimate its trajectory and move accordingly to catch it. We have merely abstracted out the essentials from the above and modeled them as Set Theory, Integer/Real Number lines, Rate of change of one quantity w.r.t. another etc. and labeled these as "Mathematics". The models are by design "abstract" but once applied to a "domain" become concrete.
If a person was somehow collecting all that mass statistical data in advance and acting upon the mathematical expected return... they wouldn't be a gambler in any casino in the first place.
True, I suppose I was referring to rate of change during those early years.
Ultimately history books are written by the winners. So the question is not whether ai will be the future, but which ai will be the future. From that perspective, it’s just more of the same old same old top down.

To clarify, the the claim is that individuals are more sociable when they are infected with the flu virus.

These results show that there is an immediate active behavioral response to infection before the expected onset of symptoms or sickness behavior.

In other news, world oil consumption is at record highs at 101.5 million barrels of oil per day.

Thats 2 liters (large coke bottle) of oil per person in the world per day, and when burned turns into 3000 liters of CO2 (about the volume of a large couch).

If everyone produced a couch-size piece of any other kind of junk each day, within a week the streets would be jammed with couches. But because it's invisible gas, life goes on as if we're not making a huge mess.
Also do the fact that you never own what you "buy". Buy means buy. Period. Amazon, Audible, Google Play, Apple TV, etc. I would like to _own_!
>It makes you honestly question the idea of freewill.

Not eating and getting low blood sugar can much more simply answer the question of "Do I have free will, or am I a subject of my internal chemical reactions".

I've used Pocket Casts for ~8 years. Can't recommend it enough, a really great app.
Oh, this is a llama.cpp frontend. Y'all should have lead with that!

I saw this on HN before, but I thought it was another from-scratch llama implementation... Which is fine, but much less interesting to me, as a from-scratch implementation probably not as fast/feature packed as llama.cpp or the TVM implementation.

Keeping up with llama.cpp's rapid evolution is very difficult, and there's a need for projects like this.

I'm in the US, so this advice is only applicable there, but LabCorp will test your blood for you without a doctor's note. I had to route around my doctor because I caught covid in the initial wave and no one knew what was going on. Your doctor may be able to help you more these days. Anyway, so I got my blood tested for all sorts of stuff, fixed deficiencies that came up, then leaned heavily on specialists to get medication to fix my symptoms. Beta blockers/other for my heart palpitations/other issues from a cardiologist, various inhalers for my lung issues from a pulmonologist, a whole slew of medications and treatments from a psychiatrist. And so much help from my friends. At the worst of it, it was exhausting walking from my bedroom to the kitchen, and I live in a small apartment. It did take years, but eventually I got there.

Learning to never push myself, because that would cause me to relapse and spend a week in bed. They have a name for it now, but that's the biggest thing that helped, really.

Hope you get a full recovery soon!

>The complaint alleges that Amazon violates the law not because it is big, but because it engages in a course of exclusionary conduct that prevents current competitors from growing and new competitors from emerging

>Anti-discounting measures that punish sellers and deter other online retailers from offering prices lower than Amazon, keeping prices higher for products across the internet. For example, if Amazon discovers that a seller is offering lower-priced goods elsewhere, Amazon can bury discounting sellers so far down in Amazon’s search results that they become effectively invisible.

I feel like ultimately they are accused of violations because they are big. I don't think that's the worst thing. But as others have pointed out - their tactics are very similar to deals grocery stores and retailers make with suppliers all the time. The only difference seems to be that Amazon is big enough that suppliers can't legitimately threaten to take their business to another store - because there isn't one.

Their complaints that Amazon makes prices higher for products across the internet is clearly only true because they are so big.
It just says that 27% of the entries in their database are Linux. You could infer that Linux users are more likely to use the website. Which matches my understanding
Perhaps they have a different opinion than you do on the issue?

I don't have a POV on this particular case but it seems reasonable to assume that there are other (reasonable) people that have different values and judgements than you do. Just because these companies and CEOs have a lot of resources should not automatically kick in the "David v Goliath" instinct that most people have

Immigration is pretty restricted in many European countries, with things like employment and language requirements. As they should be I suppose; I am not sure these countries want an influx of millions of Americans. Not to mention, there are tax implications for American citizens that make it economically unfeasible.
You can't think of a few reasons this is not a great comparison? Like, base expectations to begin with would disqualify this analogy as useful.
(disclaimer: Amazon employee)

For that one, it's mandated by publishers. There's nothing that can be done for e-readers from vendors that don't support third-party applications.

Amazon e-books are accessible on Android and other platforms in addition to Kindle devices.

Kindle is also not locked to only ebooks from Amazon, but third-party DRM schemes are not supported. Calibre for example comes with good tooling for that use case.
At least on PC, you can click a couple times to avoid the animation. I tend to when the outcome is pretty likely (trying to roll above 10 with a +8 modifier for example) but the anticipation is exciting to my monkey brain if it's a tougher roll.

> There are a few old open bugs

When I tried to look, the results maxed out at 10,000 and the bug tracker stopped being able to respond or sort by date. I wouldn't call 10,000+ "a few" it sounds like you're downplaying it for some reason.

Should releases include hundreds of closed bugs? No. But there could be a couple dozen. Mozilla has the resources to do that. Look at their release notes. A handful of security fixes (good) and otherwise nothing about bug fixes. These are not the release notes of an organization prioritizing software quality.

You give a few people at the top the master password. Typically it would be a director, a VP, maybe a CTO or CIO, in addition to whatever "low level grunt" has to actually carry out actions using the passwords.

For larger companies, you'd use CyberArk, so you can grant roles, get audit logs, use a HSM, etc.
It's not a terrible idea as a way of funding work to scrub atmospheric carbon for companies who don't want to or can't do it themselves. I just wish we were more strict about only including sellers that remove (not reduce) carbon from the atmosphere in a directly measurable way.

Please elaborate why said "tech solution" to a societal problem wouldn't end up with the "tech solution" provider undercutting the incumbents by a thin margin and pocketing the most of the difference? I'm not against somebody making money by eating into the fat cats' margins, but this sounds like merely making a different cat fat, without a substantive improvement for patients.
This is stated as if religion has never had it's own pseudo-science/medicine beliefs that conflicted with actual issues. "we don't know what's going on, so it must be a possession" type of things when it could have been something more more like schizophrenia or some other medical condition.

In my opinion networking events isn't really the place to go if you want to network. Networking happens naturally,not by going to one place and trying to meet lots of people. Instead, go to relevant community events,trade shows. Linkedin is a good place to meet new people,but not by sending silly messages asking to expand your network. Talk to people,be useful, or ask help,meet them,etc. For instance, if you work as a dev in city x, message a few devs, strike an easy convo which doesn't turn into a sales pitch or desperate call for help. Offer to meet, talk about work,etc. People are very very willing to meet.

> Having a flat price for internet sounds similar to having flat price for electricity or water - where your grandma (who turns off all the light switches whenever she leaves a room) would pay the same for electricity as a frat house mining bitcoin in the cupboard.

The difference is that to provide you with more electricity, the power company has to burn more natural gas, and pay more for that. When a data network is at less than 100% capacity, higher usage doesn't cost anything, the extra capacity is just lost. So to begin with, data caps that count traffic during off-peak hours are a pure scam; there is no reason for anyone to conserve bandwidth then.

Then you have the on-peak hours. Now, there are different ways to handle this. One is to set pricing that will deter usage, the other is to share the capacity. So you have a 1Gbps fiber connection but the uplink is oversubscribed and during peak hours you each get 800Mbps. People generally prefer this to paying more.

But some people want to have the 1Gbps per second all the time, so they should prefer metered billing, right? Still no. What you have instead is business service. If you want to be sure you have 1Gbps all the time, you pay a higher monthly fee and then get a higher class of service so that you do. Now the lower cost connection gets 1Gbps for 80% of the day and 500Mbps during peak hours -- which is a completely reasonable trade off for your grandma because she gets to save money and 500Mbps is still plenty enough. Whereas if you have some important need to always have the full speed, you can pay more and get it.

There is never any reason to meter it, and some pretty good reasons not to. It screws the people who actually need the guarantee if the metered pricing is ever insufficient to keep the network below 100% capacity. It also makes inefficient use of available capacity, because then you need to keep the network below 100% capacity, but that results in wasted capacity. And, of course, it creates a perverse incentive for the ISP when they can exempt their own services from the cap.

Evil doesn't exist. It's a value judgement. We have an understanding of certain specific instances of certain specific acts being "evil" (which ones and to what degree depending on various sensibilities but for acts involving physical harm at least most humans share a common ground). We also have culturally variable codes of law (religious or secular) which likewise define categories of acts as "evil" or illegal and often defer to scholars (judges and priests) for edge cases.

But unless you literally believe in evil spirits, demons or devils, "evil" is not a thing that exists, it's an emergent property of human behavior and as such can be explained by pyschology and sociology (e.g. as in the Milgram experiment where "evil" is the product of the participant's desire to comply with the experimenter's instructions to the detriment of a fake subject separated from both by a wall with an intercom).

Studies of human behaviors in crisis situations such as after natural disasters causing a collapse of infrastructure and social hierarchies likewise demonstrate a tendency towards mutual support and solidarity, quite to the contrary of what popular media would have you believe as the norm in the "post-apocalypse".

It seems that human nature (because humans are a social species, i.e. we rely on each other as a group rather than natural defenses of our own bodies) is cooperative and it takes social hierarchies and complex systems in order for us to do "evil". Heck, a huge part of military training ever since the modern age consists of dehumanizing the enemy to overcome our natural hesistation against causing harm to other humans. Even the nazi police officers who volunteered to participate in the mass killings of Jews in Poland mostly came up with narratives for themselves to justify their actions as humanitarian (e.g. we know of one such officer who insisted on only shooting children and waiting until their mothers were killed by his comrades so killing the child was an act of "mercy" - turning what was clearly an "evil" act by anyone's standards into something he could justify to himself).
