A lot of this is already in marcel. A command run from the command line is a pipeline, e.g. list files recursively and output (path, filesize):

ls -fr | (f: (f, f.size))

But now limit the command to .py files:

ls -fr | select (f: f.suffix == '.py') | (f: (f, f.size))

Also, just look at files changed in the past day:

ls -fr | select (f: f.suffix == '.py') | select (f: now() - f.mtime < days(1)) | (f: (f, f.size))

Those selects can be abstracted. They can be turned into their own parameterized pipelines, and assigned to variables. Here is a pipeline to filter files by a given extension:

ext = (| e: select (f: f.suffix == '.' + e) |)

And for files changed in the last d days:

recent = (| d: select (f: now() - f.mtime < days(int(d))) |)

So the original pipeline becomes:

ls -fr | ext py | recent 1 | (f: (f, f.size))

From April 2020, far before any covid vaccine came out:

> An article entitled “Impact of complicated myocardial injury on the clinical outcome of severe or critically ill COVID-19 patients” in CJC by Professor Hesong Zeng and colleagues from Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, reported on the impact of evidence of myocardial injury among patients with COVID-19.

> Among patients with myocardial injury, hospital mortality was more than three times higher than the normal serum cardiac troponin level.
Moreover, the levels of C-reactive protein, average 153.6 ng/L vs. 49.8 ng/L, and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, 852.0 ng/L vs. 197.0 ng/L, were significantly higher in patients with myocardial injury.

> It appears that prevalence of myocardial injury is high among severe or critically ill COVID-19 patients, who face a significantly higher risk of in-hospital mortality.

> Furthermore, the study suggests that it is important to monitor and manage myocardial injury during hospitalization for severe or critically ill COVID-19 patients.

> The chest computed tomography (CT) features of patients with heart failure are similar to those with COVID-19.

> Therefore, it is a great challenge to make a clear diagnosis early during the global pandemic, as pointed out by Professor Shenghua Zhou and colleagues from Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University in their article entitled “Comparison of heart failure and COVID-2019 in chest CT features and clinical characteristics.”

> For imaging features, both groups had ground-glass opacity and thickening of interlobular septa, but the ratio of central and gradient distribution was higher in patients with heart failure than that in patients with COVID-19 (4/7 vs. 1/12).

> It seems enlargement of pulmonary veins, lesion distribution, and morphology are highly important clinical findings to identify the chest CT features between heart failure and COVID-19.
Additional research on the prognosis, evaluation, and management of cardiovascular diseases and cardiovascular complications in COVID-19 patients is essential.

I went to cardiologists for a mild burning sensation in my chest area, post recovery of my first & only covid infection, in early 2022. They dismissed my concerns. A year after recovery, I resumed my routine strenuous exercises, and I noticed I had elevated resting and walking heart-rate and my apple watch would alert me of abnormal heart rates. I went to cardiologists again and they dismissed my concerns again. Both times, they did all the usual battery of tests (Echo, TMT/EKG, cholesterol, blood markers etc) and they all came "normal". They basically told me stop googling things and to throw away my smart watch. Anyway, another thing my watch was telling was that I wasn't getting enough sleep and I focused on fixing that. A few months after that, my resting heart rate started to trend down and has come back to pre-covid levels. I don't know what to make of it all. One expensive doctor explained it to me this way – historically medical community don't have enough data about how post-infection recovery has been in large populations w.r.t heart rates. Only recently, with smart watches etc such data is available. Until that smart wearable data is scientifically studied, analyzed and concluded, the doctors won't change their diagnostics and treatment protocols, for good reason. While I understand that, I felt that their current protocols are for suited for well-advanced and well-presenting cardiac diseases that occur in old people.

So you think screenshotting and quote retweeting are bad?

I deleted my Twitter and Facebook after the 2016 election but lately I've gotten into Mastodon.

My take is that "screenshotting" is a cancer on Mastodon, not so much screenshotting as a replacement for replies, but generally angry people seem to like making images that are mostly text and because images have viral potential, they get boosted a lot and wind up in my feed. Often these are screenshots, often they are made with some meme generator, but it's always crap. If I were going to make YOShInOn into a Mastodon reader, I'd want to put in some filter that kills these images.

There's a story that black people don't use Mastodon because it doesn't support quote retweeting, that is, it's claimed black people on Twitter really like that feature and they won't switch to Mastodon because it doesn't have it.

Personally I think replies on all of those platforms are half-baked, frequently abused, and frequently fraught.

For instance when somebody makes a tweet and then another tweet and then another tweet, frequently the user interface doesn't work correctly for me. Maybe I see the first tweet, maybe I see nothing, maybe I see the thread backwards, maybe I see a sea of mindless replies to the first tweet. I'd love to get through to these people with the message; "JUST GET A BLOG DAMMIT!"

Kinda related to that are the people on Mastodon who feel ownership not just of their toot but all the replies so if they don't like your reply it's not like they just don't like your reply, but they really lose their shit because they think you wrecked their masterpiece.

It seems like a better user interface for threads that has special handling for the "Bari Weiss tweeted 98 tweets about the TWITTER FILES" case which Musk seems to be so hot for (doesn't want you to link out to your blog, newspaper, Wikipedia, etc.) would be a good thing. As it is, I think anybody who tweets like that is tweeting into the wind.
agree on the stupid decision. but more important: the way forward.

- building up new nuclear reactors takes _many_ years and is still quite expensive, so its not a short-term solution. long term due to climate change the cooling might be a problem (like france already has issues in the summer when rivers run dry and they had to throttle nuclear reactors)
- fossils must be phased out, not an option
- hydrogen is at best a storage option for surplus energy (like solar), but highly inefficient to begin with
- renewables are already cheaper than everything else and prices are dropping still [1]

so either people want to believe climate crisis doesn't exist and want to double down on fossils, or believe nuclear will solve it but it can't right now, or hope that some miracle happens somehow and energy/climate will be a solved problem somehow.

I'd prefer to focus on the here and now, which means renewables, plus some storage in any form, instead of beating dead horses over and over again.

From September 2023 paper linked below:

...numbers of exhaled SARS-CoV-2 RNA copies during COVID-19 infection do not decrease significantly until day 8 from symptom-onset. COVID-19-positive participants exhaled an average of 80 SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA copies per minute during the first 8 days of infection, with significant variability both between and within individuals, including spikes over 800 copies a minute in some patients. After day 8, there was a steep drop to levels nearing the limit of detection, persisting for up to 20 days.

Should catching COVID in a 20 seconds elevator ride concern anyone?

Our findings can be used to demonstrate future feasibility of estimating the amount of time it takes for an individual to exhale an infectious dose of SARS-CoV-2: For example, assuming a conservative estimate of infectious dose for COVID-19 of 300 virions (35, 36), a person exhaling 900 viral RNA copies per minute (as did peak shedders in our study) could be conservatively estimated to exhale an infectious dose in around 20 seconds (not safe for an elevator ride), whereas a person who is exhaling 10 viral copies per minute could be estimated to exhale an infectious dose in over 30 minutes (probably ok for an elevator ride) (37). Along these same lines, once the relationship between exhaled viral RNA and replication-competent virus is established, if combined with rapid SARS-CoV-2 detection methods, our device could be used to assist in development of an at-home infectiousness test.

Of course, it depends.

So the key takeaway is that a device that would help with your first question seems possible.

Interesting that NA sales are this far down. I'm not able to quantify the results (outside of the hashtag of #flipphone @ 850m views) of a recent TikTok trend, but at least anecdotally there had been a wave of users on the platform advocating the purchase of a "dumb phone".

I noticed this on YT as well, and tested this logged out to determine if this was a more tailored algorithm for me, or if there really was a trend advocating for these style of phones. It did appear for a time (around the summer of 2023) that an increase of this type of content were making the rounds.

It's possible that Nokia with it's limited marketing budget had not capitalized on the trend, and simply missed out thus the large decline.

For what it's worth, I every day carry a Nokia 6300, and have an iPhone 13 Mini as a backup.

That doesn't happen on iOS. Apps completely disabling themselves if not granted permissions is explicitly against Apple's terms IIRC. This is how I was able to install Truecaller (yes that invasive app) without giving it my contacts permission and then disable my number from it (which seems to be the only way).

Well the systems controlling Voyager are quite simple, being 1970s technology. Obscure by today's standards perhaps, but not terribly complicated. 70KB of memory, programmed in Fortran and probably some amount of machine or assembly code.

Edit: apparently, due to the post-Apollo budget environment in the 1970s, the Voyager program had to keep costs down so while some new systems were developed, they also reused technology from the Viking program, not even updating or enhancing it.

"The Voyager CCS and Viking CCS would ultimately have the same amount of memory (just under 70kB) despite the routines and programs for Voyager being much more complex. In-flight programming allowed for new routines and programs to be uploaded regularly in non-volatile memory and eliminated the need for large amounts of memory to be required onboard."

Recent research suggests "that some people with long COVID still had virus fragments lingering in their guts, long after they were no longer testing positive for the virus. Those particles, located through stool samples, might be enough to trigger the release of interferons. That could set off a chain reaction, leading to inflammation that makes it tougher for the digestive system to absorb tryptophan — an essential amino acid found in food that helps the body make serotonin.

Hi, I have two suggestions.

First, I sense that you should keep work on improving your mastery of English grammar. I have a few resources for that:

* Technical Writing One by Google [1] is a pretty good self-study course for practicing the fundamentals of writing mechanics.

* Find some kind of program that forces you to write and get feedback on your writing. English classes at community colleges, for example. There are probably a lot of online resources, too. The best way to improve your writing is to practice and get feedback; just like the best way to learn about programming is to create programs.

* A Writer's Reference [2] is a canonical reference text for looking up grammar rules.

I know this is boring work but it really is the foundation of communicating clearly.

After you've got those fundamentals down, you'll want to learn about the processes that technical writers follow to figure out what docs customers really need. Docs For Developers [3] is a pretty solid overview of the process that many TWs follow.

Do you lock the door to your home at night?

In Boy Scouts, we have a motto, "Be prepared." Why do anti-2A people regularly belittle people who carry guns? How is it any different than carrying a pocket knife or locking your doors? You are preparing for any situation the world might throw at you. The likelihood that someone will break into your home is low, so why lock the door? Is it an emotional support lock?
I'm head of processing development at PayProp[^1] where we've been automatically reconciling rental payments for two decades using the techniques described in the article - we just don't call it an AI or a LLM. Our tech saves letting agents huge amounts of time.

We look at the data we have and if it's sufficient we can "automatically" reconcile it - i.e. suggest a match with 100% certainty that the user(s) can then confirm. Otherwise we make an informed suggestions based on all of the likely data from the transaction(s) and sometimes the suggestions are a list of possible matches.

IME the biggest problems in recon are the edge cases around failures in the banking system or the flow that are very difficult to code around and require manual intervention:

* failures of payments X days after they have been reconciled, now you have to pull things apart again
* bank reverses transactions but then puts them back and this appears in their intra day statements (MT942 files for example) but doesn't show on their online portals, leading to "duplicates" in one system that aren't really
* statement and reference data is incomplete or just wrong (who knew that free text fields can be problematic?)
* amounts simply don't match because you invoiced for X and were paid Y - payments are split up to get around constraints, amounts are rounded up, etc.

We deal with these every single day, and we are automating what we can - but you're always going to need a human to confirm the final step in these cases. Perhaps an LLM can improve suggestions, but when the data is just wrong or missing then I'm not so sure.
