Résumé/CV: https://paiktranom.github.io/static/nomResume.pdf

It's pronounced Pae-ctra. Or call me Pat. That's much easier.

Software Engineer with 3 years of experience in both back-end and front-end development. I initially interned for NASA
while getting my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. I then got hired full-time building and maintaining web-based tools and applications. I am looking for a full-time position that can challenge my understanding of programming. I also enjoy rock climbing, coffee, and building keyboards. Feel free to reach out, I'd love to hear from you!

I heard about somebody who has actually done that... but their main interest was porn.
If a project is going to reject a “pointless improvement” then it is gonna be tough for any new contributors to get traction in the code base.
QnAs with Katalin Karikó (2021)
I think what he is describing wont' literally happen. His concern is that heuristically short sighted and superficial alignment methods hide inner misalignment in AI systems. This isn't a perfect example of that issue manifesting into models that will be consequential in his concerns though, it's more of a pithy Tweet insight.
There is no wrong or right metric. Every aspect of a nation's existence has an effect on its survival.

Mexico has a very weak and self-defense oriented military, but is under no threat of occupation or annexation. Mostly because it's continued existence benefits both the US and Canada, which offer a proxy protection. It also keeps relatively good trade relations with many powerful nations and has a large consumer economy.

Or Mongolia, which exists because neither of it's neighbors could reasonably occupy it or would allow the other to do so.

Military strength is one way to ensure protection. It's certainly not the only way.

If you are serious about this so am I. I want to go to the Kauffman Foundation to do this. Also a gentleman named Bob Cringely wants to do something like this and started... then stopped. He will hate me for saying this but gentle persuasion might help as of anyone I have ever met he really wants to really democratize the startup process across America. Kauffman foundation has great stats to show that the returns on investing on older people are higher aggregate.
I’ve been retired for nearly four years. Retirement has afforded me the time to pursue interests that have languished on the sidelines for years. I have no regrets about leaving when I did. And yes, I joined here after retiring. While I’m not particularly interested in the most recent development technologies necessarily, I do use this forum for research on other topics like books, textbooks, etc. As for time? Nope, still don’t seem to have much free time.
The sci-fi use case is that an prognostic / diagnostic / active learning agent pulling information from EHRs would use this as a prior.

More low tech is that you and your physician are more vigilant when it comes to monitoring or testing for certain types of cancer if you have a high impact onco-variant.

Keep in mind that prognosis for cancer improves dramatically when you can detect it early.

Apple refused to support it 8 years ago when the Series 2 came out and there was no way to upgrade it.

> A public school that's not doing a great job should lose students. Let them feel the pain until they work to do better.

This is such a lazy, uninformed take. Someone's sad? Keep physically abusing them until they're less sad. Public schools do a bad job because they are under-funded, and have to use the limited funding they do have just trying to get their standardized test scores up so they don't lose even more funding. Punishing under-funded schools by giving them less funding is exactly the bad-faith strategy of people who are trying to destroy public schools so they can rake in money with their private schools. Private prisons going well? Private healthcare? Private unregulated utilities? Why would private schools be any better? The obvious answer is to actually invest in under-funded public schools, not punish them for being bad by making them even worse.
I live in a woodsy suburb in SE PA, and saw that first infestation. It was horrible. Disgusting. The next year was way better, and by this year (I can't remember if this is year 3 or 4) there were hardly any. There are definitely predators catching on--I've seen praying mantises and various spiders eating them. I think I've heard that some birds have caught on, too.

What I don't know is at first we heard that it's a little colder than they like around here, and that we should expect them to move south. I haven't heard that it's bad south of here, but I don't know.

“But I have a founder who is convinced that you need money first then prototypes and that nothing in her proposition needs any tech that you cannot buy off the self.”

These things are everywhere in Manhattan; a few weeks ago there were so many it took concerted effort not to step on one on the sidewalk. They don’t appear to be particularly intelligent either, and as such the ground is littered with their dead bodies, crushed underfoot by pedestrians. It’s gross.
It is. Unfortunately, at school the subject of Algebra simply shares the name, being a tool of choice to drill rote repetition into the students.

12 years ago me and my then girlfriend used to torrent a USB pen drive full of the series and movies we wanted to watch and just plug it into a Sony TV and watch. Including subtitles when we wanted. You could put that USB pen drive in your pocket to continue watching at a friends house.

20 years ago, we'd connect any PC or Mac to the TV with HDMI and watch a movie or whatever we wanted.
Is playing make believe (like mind reading the goals of the author) just for fun, or is that more of that scientific rationalism that everyone claims is so powerful, yet is powerless to turn around the warming of the planet that it kicked into gear?

Looks like you got things a bit mixed up. You’ll not see a v4 collision in your lifetime, that is not why they built ksuid. At the time, UUIDv1 was the only standard alternative that includes a time component, but in way less bits, not sortable, and the fixed mac address takes a lot of space from the random bits.

ksuid is similar to Twitter Snowflake, the main goal is distributed generation of collision-free sortable IDs. The UUIDv7 proposal is meant to address the same use case. You don’t need to worry about collisions as much here, as the timestamp is monotonically increasing, there is a 42-bit counter for every millisecond + the random 32 bits at the end. You’d have to be generating trillions of IDs per second to have the chance of a collision.
There was a lot examples but the main complaint seemed to be a rephrased "We don't want users to be able to do that". Perhaps I missed a valid use case but, this seems a lot like wanting to disable rightclick (and giving a dubious reason why).

Mozilla is right.
I don't see it as one "app". It is everything. Record my conversations, who was in the room with me (bluetooth, facial recognition), which chat room was I in, was my tone of voice loud or angry when I was talking to my daughter about homework, do I do that often, how does she react. Out of 1 million parents who raise their voices discussing homework, what is the stress level of the children, the amount of times they spend doing their homework after the dinner conversation. Of 1 million children doing homework which app is most effective e for their academic success - and is their stress negative correlated with academic achievement or not?

Then take all of this and dump it toNHS / NICE researchers whom I am happy to let have this because the legal regulations are in place on supra-national levels such I know that if a data-brocker gets it they shit their pants and send it back to the government with an apology.

It's a long way off, but one day your iphone will trill in your ear and say "hi paul, I know you are angry about the tone of voice your wife used just know but she is worried about her unfinished report, and out of five million men who react the way you are about to 5 million did not get positive responses."
Evidence that they are underfunded? NYC spends much more per student than most private schools do.
True but it offered no benefits and $50k per year isn’t enough for a single individual to live in my town with a marketplace healthcare plan and a 1 bedroom apartment. So it’s definitely not enough for a family man.

I imagine he hasn’t had any CS grads apply to work for $50k and no benefits so that’s why he reached out to me on LinkedIn. I’m no CS grad but I’m capable of making far more that $50k fortunately.
Really? The iPhone 5s introduced in 2013 just got a security update earlier this year. How long can you get updates from Android devices?
If it's otherwise healthy, they won't kill it or even hurt it that badly. They loved the black walnut in our yard and I was worried about it, but by the next year they were mostly gone.
The obvious purpose of everything is clear up to a point, beyond which it is unclear.

It's not clear whom crutches are for beyond those with broken legs or atrophied muscles.

It's not clear what an eraser is for beyond removing pencil traces from a paper, or any purpose benefiting from a small block of rubber/elastomer.

On a possibly crass tangent, how are you doing. Has the situation improved?

I do kinda cheat by ensuring I never need to transcode. Clients are AppleTV or iOS devices, mostly, and support every video or audio codec I’ve got.

My server’s too weak to transcode more than about DVD resolution videos at live-video speeds, is why I have to do it that way.

Not sure if your hypothetical was meant to be a reference to the absolutely hilarious classic “Gilbert Gottfried reads 50 Shades of Gray”, but it has me wondering how much of the inherent comedy comes from “the voice” and how much comes from the idea that the man himself sat down and recorded those lines.

No way. Bing's AI want to be monetized (else it gets the hose again).
I seriously question if they ever sold a single one.

That said the GP’s point is also completely true. No one who bought one (assuming they exist) is mad it fell out support 9 years later. It’s chump change, and if they like Apple Watches they upgraded long ago.
It wasn’t just about preventing transmission - the vaccines dramatically reduced the rate of hospital admissions, which in theory should have allowed the health systems of the world to keep up with fewer infection control restrictions (like lockdowns, masking and social distancing).

I agree that forcing vaccines on people was, at the very least, ethically questionable. OTOH, there was a tremendous amount of misinformation and fear-mongering that would have had an outsized negative effect on the public health response, were vaccines not mandated.

There’s plenty of blame to go around.

It's interesting how rapidly sex/gender switch between "simplistic and binary", as this article treats them, and an ineffable mystery, as the American Anthropological Society characterized them [1].

OK, I understand that the initial sentence is too strict, however, using codepoints for text editing and cursor position is even worse - even in your example of Korean there's a clear distinction depending on how the same character is encoded (combined NFC or not), but it should be the same to the user; and obviously if someone inputs a latin-diacritic character by pressing a modifier key before the base letter, then backspace removing the diacritic (since unicode modifiers are after the base letter) would be just ridiculous.

Backspace in general seems to be a very difficult problem because of subtly incompatible expectations depending on the context, as 'undo last input' when you're typing new text, and 'delete previous symbol' if you're editing existing text.
It's hard to spell the "Hacktober fest" word though.

HN's title debaiter popped it off. We've consed it back on.
Invitae is doing the lord’s work when it comes to commercializing high quality genetic diagnostic tests and offering them directly to consumers at reasonable prices. We used them for prenatal screening. They offered the circulating DNA test - which is only covered for geriatric pregnancies - for a reasonable price. I wish the payers would cover these so they could be compensated more for what they do, but the US healthcare system is bonkers.

Some of the problem with these types of genetic tests - especially for stuff like PGx - is that physicians have not integrated them into their practice / workflows, so even when they get actionable info from one of these tests they don’t really know what to do with it.

I’m not sure what your question has to do with my post, because I didn’t say anything that could even be remotely be sensibly extended into anything which makes that question make sense, unless the answer you are looking for is “alter society and particularly the social constructs on the basis of which it ascribes gender to dogs”.

(And, as well as being far afield from the post it responds to, the question is far afield from the subject being discussed, too.)
Of course it's spotted, how else would they know it's in Illinois?
I agree wholly. But fear is real and understandable.

My playbook used to be:

1) Have an idea
2) Identify any customers, Ideally one who is in a terrible emotional distress that they do not have that solution you have come up with. If you cant find one move on to another idea quickly.
3) Ask them if they want your solution - show storyboards.
4) Ask them to pay costs to build it and feed you ramen.
5) Ensure that the software, since they paid next to nothing for it, is yours. 6) Go sell it like Larry to a few more.
7) Show invetsor types once you start growing and getting longer contracts.
Weird, apparently all those things I've got done with Python didn't actually get done. I was just imagining it.
If that were true, then "I'm sorry, I don't think we can accommodate that particular request. Can we negotiate on the exact details? We can provide not-from-concentrate store-bought orange juice ..." should pass the test. But this author unequivocally states that saying they can't do it is a hard fail. I'd be happy to fail this test and dodge the bullet of an unreasonable client.
Example: ambulance drivers
I'd add one more purpose these watches served: Jony Ive really wanted to make something out of gold. He also really wanted to make a gear linkage and that's why the monitor stands were as complicated as they were. So they served the purpose of keeping him happy I guess.
Or you could purchase inFuse, point it to a Samba server and literally walk away and be done. They even support connecting to a Jellyfin backend. Paying for commercial software that works out of the box, I know, the horror, I'm literally shaking.
I must admit to disliking C#'s functional libraries. I have wasted so much time trying to get the buggers into a pipeline. It becomes agonising in a way that doing the same thing in Scala was so very much a dream. I keep discovering the hard way, just don't do it (or just get a whole lot more experienced at it, although I don't know how without going through the pain barrier, and deeper each time, like Inception).

Could you give me a hint about these 'performance oriented primitives' please? (The only ones I can think of are structs versus classes) Edit: but isn't there a new thing where you can subtype a class without allocations, like Scala's record classes, or is that new in Java, can't remember.
What about efforts by say, the Internet Archive, and maybe more specialized indexes maintained by communities?
I use Infuse on my Apple TV and Jellyfin is a nice backend for it (not necessary though). It’s just a nicer interaction than fiddling with an HTPC.
I think the analogy here is that after graduation, the kids are going to be asked to play a song from sheet music, but the school doesn't want them to be forced to (or feel bad if they have trouble to) learn the terribly constraining rigors of musical notation. Or worse, the teachers don't really understand how to teach the notation themselves.

Instead, we want them to invent how to write music "using the innate and self-discovered techniques for music notation that make sense to them as whole individuals".
I hope that it is broadcast.
