On the other hand, your MD is going to look for the obvious, or statistically relevant, or currently prominent disease.

But they could be presented 99% probability for flu, 1% or wazalla, and that testing for wazalla means pinching your ear tout may actually be correctly diagnosed sometimes.

It is not that MDs are incompetent, it is just that when wazalla was briefly mentioned during their studies, they happened to be in the toilets and missed it. Flu was mentioned 76 times because it is common.

(for the story, he was diagnosed with a worm-induced illness that happened one or twice a year in France in the 80's. The worm was from a beach in Brazil, and my dad never travelled to Americas. He was kindly asked to provide a sample of blood to help research in France, which he did. Finally the drug to heal him was available in one pharmacy in Paris and in Lyon. We expected a hefty cost (though it is all covered in France), it costed 5 franks or so. But we were told with my brother to keep an eye on him as he may become delusional and try to jump through the window. The poor man cold hardly blink before we were on him:)
Ah, and the pills were 2cm wide, looked like they were for an elephant. And he had 5 or so to swallow)
Listen more than you talk. Listen to first hand sources. Don't put an expectation on the oppressed to do all the work. Amplify their voices rather than putting your own voice first.

I trust that if I listen with an open heart and come from a peace of good intention then I will do the right thing.

It's certainly better than any alternative I could imagine for myself.
Most of the trades in that stock have been routed through dark pools (they don't hit lit exchanges), so even if there are (huge) trades you wouldn't necessarily see the price move.
Yes, that's factored in. The average coal plant outputs 830 MW, and obviously nobody is building wind turbines that large. That's why wind power installations are called "wind farms".

The naive approach where you just index with the ASCII values you have would have to contain 16 million elements since it needs to look at 3 bytes.

I don’t think it’s as widely applicable as they try to make it seem. I have worked specifically with PolyGen, and the main problem is “out of distribution” data. Basically anything you want to do will likely be outside the training distribution. This surfaces as sequencing. How do you determine which triangle or vertex to place first? Why would a user do it that way? What if I want to draw a table with the legs last? Cannot be done. The model is autoregressive.

I don't care who wins - I don't have a horse in this race at all.

I'm sure the FTP devs were just trying to get something working - they weren't worried about supporting all the possibilities for the definition of "file".

I'd guess the only people who really care are those affected (mainly VMS/Apple people who have to send/receive files via FTP).

Well, I guess if I was trying to FTP a file that had data in an alternate data stream (ADS) from an NTFS drive, I'd care. But then I know that the ADS wouldn't be sent by FTP and package the file accordingly.

I don't think POSIX designed anything - they just codified/standardized what was running in the wild.

Wouldn't something like the VMS-equivalent of a tar archive of your files work better for round-tripping to a non-VMS computer?

The largest use of alternate data streams is actually when a user downloads a file from the Internet via Internet Explorer/Chrome/Firefox on WinXP+. The browser creates an alternate data stream, Zone.Identifier, for the downloaded file so Windows will know that the file may be tainted.

That's what always struck me about this story. I like to think that if I was in the room we would've turned the system off at 9:31 when we knew it was working abnormally but didn't know why. Instead they let it run for over an hour while they tried to QA it. I've heard that Knight had no kill switch to stop all systems from trading, which seems like by far the biggest mistake they made.

> Failure to exercise a large dog properly leads to bad behavior, which is hard to correct because they _really want something to do_. So many people, not providing enough training nor enough job for their dog resort to using harnesses and other restraints when in public, and then when they have company over the dogs are reactive until they are put in the place where they can be out of the way.

This is definitely true...in a single-dog household.

Treat it like dog ADHD. Working/fighting dogs don't want to sit still. Trapping them in an apartment all day, alone, will make them miserable. Would you be happy in solitary confinement?

But-- in my experience (huskies), stimulation appears to be just as effective as the vaunted exercise goals. Crazy as it sounds (and it is a lot of additional work and expense), getting a second husky keeps the first one busy. While she was left alone, she tore everything up and acted out a lot. Now they wrestle with each other all day, terrorize the cats together, and crash on the couch. A constant supply of new toys also helps.

(FWIW they're both rescues; I would never recommend huskies in small spaces, especially not around cats, as a conscious choice-- they're wolves in kabuki mask. Apparently everyone bought huskies because of Game of Thrones and dumped them on the streets once they became difficult. They're wolves. I'm having to build indoor chicken runs for the cats to traverse the house safely.)
What you're talking about was a bug in LLVM. The paper says:

>Infinite loops and recursions are Undefined Behaviour in C and C++, therefore the compiler can assume that a loop always terminates.

... which is wrong - only C++ requires loops to terminate. C allows non-terminating loops (with some specific requirements), and LLVM was already known to miscompile C in this same way until it was fixed in LLVM 12 with the `mustprogress` attribute.

https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=965

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59925618/how-do-i-make-a...

Then this:

>While LLVM does not require loops to terminate and should compile Rust loops correctly, its code contained assumptions that only hold for C/C++, thus miscompiling Rust code.

... is implied to be a different LLVM bug after the first one was already fixed, ie despite using `mustprogress` LLVM had additional miscompilations for Rust code because of "assumptions that only hold for C/C++". I can't tell which one in table 4.2 it is, though; none of them see to match.
As a follow-on question, is there plans to integrate the AWS CRT under the hood or does the existence of Tokio and async/await negate the need for it?

They are both victims. Whether someone drowns in their bath or drowns in the ocean they have drowned.I can see and accept the tragedy in both circumstances while still understanding the respective gravities of danger between bathing and ocean swimming.

I'm not sure what you mean by sharing victimhood with fervor. What emotions do the perpetrators of micro-aggressions exhibit when they commit? I would ask that we question the position of perpetrators as much, if not more, than victims.
That can all be true, of course, and the feelings understandable, but still the comments are off-topic and repetitive.

They could do even better than that: they could plant trees. They could build natural gas power plants that would provide the electricity to desalinate water and pump it to the desert, and create artificial oases. I didn't run the numbers, but I'm quite sure that would be carbon negative by a wide margin. This way they continue doing what they know best (extract fossil fuels from the ground) and also beautify their landscape, and help humanity, and maybe even collect some carbon credits from the rest of the world.

I think it's dangerous to publish things like this at the moment due to the amount of dreadful journalism and carefully misquoted titles out there. We are literally in the middle of a misinformation war.

Harsh reactions with consequences result every time the press print things. Adding dead children weaponsises this as the final taboo push.

It takes one mistake, one misquoted image or one manipulation and there's just going to be more dead children.

Edit: to clarify I am NOT against publishing these things. Just now is a really bad time due to rife misinformation and poor journalism. All it does is inflame already terrible situations for people all over the world. Its divisive and dangerous.

It matters from the design and architecture perspective. It's foundational underpinnings we're constructed to support remote terminals. That really hasn't been a usecase for a very long time but the core architecture was built with that in mind and the monolithic nature of the code makes it very hard to change that.

Show HN: Numms, a Responsive Calculator with History for iPad and iOS
Hi,

I'm an Indie Designer/Developer. I learned to code a couple of years ago and worked in a co-founded startup, but this is my first solo project.

Numms is a fully responsive calculator that adapts to the screen of the iPad when using the Stage Manager or a split view. It also works on the iPhone. Some other functionalities include:

+ History (Persistent local storage)

+ Notes for your calculations

+ Sheets (like pages in an Excel file)

+ Memories (Global for all sheets or local per sheet)

+ Dark/Light mode

It was developed in Flutter but is only supported on Apple devices due to the new Google Play policy about the 20 testers. Please write me an email at: hellodiegosebastian@gmail.com if you'd like to help me test it on Android.

Thank you in advance for all your comments and feedback.
Because it was thought that being rich meant you were close to God. If the people they thought were closest to God could scarcely be saved, then how could anyone else be? So the thinking goes. It's an argument a fortiori.

Of course Jesus' point was that the poor and sinners are much closer to the kingdom of God than the rich, hence their astonishment.

A decade before people start looking for a replacement is pretty good numbers. Especially if you consider that's when the search for replacement starts. Xorg continued to see significant development for about a decade alongside Wayland.

Of course W was only a couple years old before being replaced by X. So maybe we'll see Waylands replacement much sooner. I wonder if people were debating W vs X the way we debate X vs Wayland?
I think you might be confusing software standards with functional safety standards. They are related, but one is required by the other. FuSa from my role has been predominantly architecture and process. Developers do need to follow coding and documentation guidelines. If they are fighting that then there are bigger problems with leadership.
Regarding (1), it's not that simple. It depends on what form fusion takes. Fission was once thought to be the future of energy generation, unlimited clean energy for all, but now we realize the (justified) regulatory, maintenance, safety, and build costs are so incredible it is usually more economical to build gas/coal plants or solar/wind.

If we achieve fusion production in the form of modern tokamaks with insane regulatory, maintenance, and build costs similar or worse than fission, we will be in the same situation so the real goal is to achieve fusion without all of those added costs. Only then could fusion realize the result we all dream of and that seems unlikely for many decades.

The best hope we have atm is one of the fusion startups working on alternative methods of fusion has a breakthrough. Some have made claims of breakthroughs and also claim net energy gain in a few years, but as history has taught us, that's unlikely to occur.

As much as I want and hope for the unlimited, clean fusion energy we all dream of, the realist in me recognizes the challenges we face and that we probably still have a long way to go. In which case, it's probably good to put money in other efforts like geothermal and not put all our eggs in one basket.

> Computation is substrate independent. I'm not saying neurons and ANN weights and «pulleys and gears» are the same. I'm saying it does not matter because what you perform computation with does not change the results of the computation. If the brain computes, then it doesn't matter what is doing the computation.

It's a tautology. If the substrate did change the computation, then it wouldn't be the computation.

Claims where it isn't possible for you to be incorrect may be less impressive than they seem.

>> Seems like it's at least partly a visibility issue
> I don’t see how that can follow from that article, as it says

Very simply, if you don't see a pedestrian approaching from the side due to the limited visibility of the vehicle, then as a driver you have less time to react and slow down. The slower a vehicle is going at the point of collision, the more likely a pedestrian is to survive.

If a vehicle is going 45mph and hits a pedestrian, it doesn't much matter the aerodynamics of the vehicle or even the weight or size of the vehicle, that is an incredible force of impact.

So of course visibility is a factor in deaths and that's why newer SUVs and trucks with collision avoidance systems reduce deaths by 27%.

From [1], "SUVs, pickups, vans and minivans are substantially more likely than cars to hit pedestrians when making turns, suggesting that these larger vehicles may not afford drivers as clear a view of people crossing the road, a new study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shows". Notably, these types of collisions would not result in a roll over the top of the vehicle in any case as the pedestrians are being struck by the corner of the vehicle at an angle.

"Earlier studies have shown that A-pillars — the struts connecting the roof to the vehicle’s body on either side of the windshield — can create blind spots that can make it difficult for drivers to see pedestrians and that these blind spots grow larger as A-pillars become wider."

But historically the topic of an article I click on will be about something like the AWS SDK, and the comment section will be about how Go is trash. Though, I'm sure there's also a fair amount of the exact psychological effect/bias dilemma you're referring to as well.

Do you have a citation with statistics for this?

I don’t know if it’s right or wrong but regardless, it’s extremely interesting as far as assertions go.
It shouldn't require price history. You just need the order book and you can simulate the execution of any order, and figure out its average price.

If the average price is X basis points worse than the current top of book, that's slippage. So eg if highest bid in book is $100 and you are entering a sell order that would eat so much of the book that it would fill with an average price of $70, that's 30% slippage and probably not what you meant to do.
The parent post suggests that Google's moat is search quality, I suspect that is not true. Google earns about $70-80B a year, if they even suspected there was a way to reduce or eliminate a $20B yearly expense it would be top priority to investigate. We can assume they've looked at this problem from a lot of angles. That they keep paying implies they have a lot of confidence that it's necessary and if they didn't have the default slot a lot of users would use something else.
