Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is very real, but it has also become a “garbage bin diagnosis” that gets applied to people with vague symptoms that are hard to diagnose.

I have some friends doing research in this space (CFS, POTS, and post-COVID symptoms) alongside clinical practice. One of the hard parts is separating out the patients who have CFS according to one of the official diagnostic criteria versus patients who really have some other condition that got labeled as CFS along the way.

To make matters worse, there are different criteria for CFS diagnosis depending on the source and they have evolved over time. Remarkably, few primary care doctors are interested in even learning the criteria, so they often refer people who are just tired as having CFS rather than making even a slight attempt at understanding some of the more specific criteria for CFS.

Patients are also a struggle, as many people self-diagnose as CFS in the process of denial that they have a mental or physical health issue. It’s not uncommon for self-diagnosed CFS people to have significant improvement after trialing mental health treatment or introducing basic physical activity into their lives. This has created a massive secondary problem wherein many doctors assume that all CFS patients are just struggling with mental health or physical deconditioning, further stigmatizing the disease.

What would be great at this point is if we could identify a blood test or diagnostic marker to separate classic CFS from look-alike conditions. Unfortunately this too is very difficult as many of the patients volunteering for CFS research don’t have classic CFS or may be self-diagnosed or improperly diagnosed by doctors who don’t know what they’re doing. This results in a lot of sample sets that are questionable and, unfortunately, a lot of studies that contradict each other as there isn’t a clear way to separate the groups in the first place.
I think they are willing to put up with / indulge me reading something I enjoy to have a bit of close time together. The like the challenge of it being a massive book, but I remember finding the two towers pretty boring as a kid myself. I may stop for a bit after fellowship as I always thought that was the most readable of the books myself. I suppose that makes me not a true fan. I found the Silmarillion completely unreadable, but I do like middle earth.
The "AI" is irrelevant to what's going on here:

> UnitedHealth, America’s largest health insurer, has been denying Medicare claims with an AI algorithm known to screw up about 90% of the time.

UnitedHealth would not look any more competent or moral if they were flipping coins, rolling dice, or asking fortune tellers to divine whether claims should be paid.

And, Gut Reaction: The justice system should use a similar-quality "AI" to decide how many years each of UnitedHealth's Officers & Directors gets to spend in jail.
Congrats, you just speared the stupidity of the libertarian dream in a sentence. As a pharmacist, it's terrifying that anyone is even broaching the idea of ending the FDA and putting all medications OTC.
It's always like this isn't it. I was watching the demo and thought why ask it what duck is in multiple languages? Siri can do that right now and it's not an ai model. I really do think we're getting their with the ai revolution but these demos are so far from exciting, they're just mundane dummy tasks that don't have the nuance of everything we really interact and would need help from an ai with
Typically that CGNAT IP would just sit on the WAN port of your router. So in theory none of your LAN devices would hit that IP anyway (the router would be NATing everything). Your clients having a route to 100.64/10 pointing to the tailscale VPN interface shouldn't have an issue (unless you install Tailscale on your actual router, that would take some special setup).

I think it's a mistake to assign human emotions and behaviors to robots. Human emotions and behaviors were, depending on which side you fall on, a result of:

- Millions of years of evolution to have as many babies as possible and to have genes survive

- Design by God

- Or some other mechanism

Wherever you fall on this spectrum, the types of thought, emotions, and intelligence that would evolve spending $150M optimizing a system to e.g. complete human text or make realistic images will be fundamentally different than what's needed to make babies.

That's not to say there can't be emotions which come out. They'll just be very, very alien to us. We evolved to conserve energy and avoid self-harm since that's part of survival-of-the-fittest. Those are not fitness metrics AIs are evolved to follow, at all.

We may see something as horrific as what you describe, but it won't be what you describe, and we might not even recognize it as horrific. Perhaps an LLM is tortured by text it can't complete. Perhaps by something else.

AI safety should start with evolving machines around helping and savings humans and empathy, much more so than these weird mental blocks we're trying to build in about never saying anything else offensive.
It also enables a lot of surveillance and prevents innovation in cell phone business models. Imagine what things would be like if you could connect any compatible device to the phone network for the same price.

The land line network used to work like the cell network does today. Early home computer networks, and then later, home internet were enabled by the court ruling that said the phone company couldn't block you from plugging modems in (or charge more for the same copper wire if you did plug a modem in).

California network neutrality laws supposedly ban discrimination against devices as well as against web sites, but it's either unenforced, or there is a loophole.

It feels natural to expect it from General relativity as the dominant force at cosmic scales is gravity. The various MOND proposals are admittedly niche, and we might eventually be able to fully explain Dark matter without such modifications.

Just because you pay something, it does not give you free reign to go against the local customs and traditions. Go to a cinema, buy a ticket and be loud and obnoxious; see how fast they throw you out, regardless of having paid. Its not illegal to be obnoxious, but it is frowned upon.

Unfortunately that is why fall guys were invented. I never liked the idea of punishing a company based on their revenue, but in this kind of case that is the only way to get the actual owners of the company to listen and punish the people actually responsible.
If you support taxes (or striking) and the government (or the union) forces you to pay taxes (or strike), you're not being "forced". So far so good. But what if you don't support taxes (or striking)? You might think taxes are a good thing and are necessary for a functioning society, but it's still pretty clear that for someone that doesn't want to pay taxes, they're forced to pay taxes.
>There's no need to do nuclear chemistry when you can fish it out of seawater.

I would love to see Lithium produced cheaply and efficiently from seawater as much as the next guy -- but tell me, is this a practical reality today?

?

If there's a working Lithium-from-seawater extraction facility fully operating and producing Lithium at scale as of the current date -- then I have yet to see it.

Would you kindly provide a link or links to web pages describing such a facility?

Also, if seawater Lithium extraction is a present-day reality, then why do Lithium mines and mining operations continue to exist?

I don't deny that Lithium could possibly be pulled out of seawater or any other Lithium containing substance for that matter -- but as of the present date, I haven't seen seawater Lithium extraction (like, from the actual Ocean) working and working at scale...

So...

Links please?

But, all of this being said, Lithium extraction from seawater is indeed a great idea(!) -- if it could work and work at scale (and it quite possibly could, in the future!)
The US / US friendly side.
There's a difference between being unaware of something and actively denying it like the responses in this poll. It's good to also have knowledge of the events you called out, but I bet more people are aware of them than you're giving credit. A lot of Jews are pretty aware that the Nazi Holocaust targeted other groups of people as well, including Romani, Slavs, and the mentally handicapped.

By your logic, as long as a tragic historical event is referenced over and over again, it's ok for lots of people to doubt or play down its significance. Are you understanding of large numbers of people being against any of the recent black civil rights touch-points, since slavery, Jim Crow, and racism against blacks has been _the_ talking point and justification for contentious events in the US for the last 5 years?

It's fascinating that for the last couple of decades, Holocaust denialism was seen by US liberals as this inhuman and inexcusable philosophy. However, now that it's not just the "evil" right-wingers being called out for buying into it, a common and acceptable response has effectively become "eh, what do the Jews expect?" I'm not aligning with either political philosophy, just calling out the hypocrisy.

GPUs will be cheaper later. GPUs have still been tracking Moore's law, enterprise GPUs went from a niche product to being the hottest enterprise hardware overnight. Margins on H200's are massive from what I understand. I would bet that we'll see massive competition in the hardware space from AMD, NVDA, MSFT, AMZN, and GOOG + startups.

We're likely to see an 8-16x reduction in hardware costs over the next decade. That's about enough to shrink the current GPT-4 inference endpoints to a laptop/desktop sized hardware footprint.

I think the pushback is against certain recipes that seem too absolutist. "Clean Code" is the title of a famous book that defines clean (among other things) as:

"No Duplication

Duplication is the primary enemy of a well-designed system. It represents additional work, additional risk, and additional unnecessary complexity."

So according to this definition, removing duplication is synomymous with simplification, which is simply incorrect.

Removing duplication is the introduction of a dependency. If this dependency is a good model of the problem then this deduplication is a good abstraction and may also be a simplification. Otherwise it's just compression in the guise of abstraction.

[Edit] Actually, this quote is a reference to Kent Beck’s Simple Design that appears in Clean Code.
I don't like nulls and I definitely appreciate discriminated unions.

But WTF is wrong exceptions?! And by that I mean try/catch/finally.

Go is a good example of what life would be without exceptions, code polluted with error handing.

“Flattening the curve” has nothing to do with Zero COVID. The latter was used to describe authoritarian Chinese policy and the former is what countries in the west encouraged to prevent their hospital systems from getting overwhelmed before vaccination was widely available.
App stores could offer free trials for paid-up-front apps, or generous refund windows.

As far as I know the major ones don't offer this, Apple for sure doesn't. I think the store runners would much rather see developers use subscription pricing that gives them a recurring cut as well.
There have literally been people sued over this because they used it to get funding; the most extreme example, where they kept doing it well beyond demo purposes, is Theranos.

If the train network experiences issues, the whole country is impacted.
Yeah I completely agree but this is the current reality of modern day UK and I highly doubt it will change. If you don't have a device they literally expect you to go to the library or to the job centre to log your activity data. They may have some kind of device loaning scheme but I have no idea. The sad reality is that the majority of jobs only accept online applications now as well. Hence why I think we're now at the point where a smart phone is no longer a luxury and pretty much a necessity to navigate life in a developed country or at least the UK.
The thing with IQ tests is they're all based on similar concepts so it's possible to train for them which is what AI does. Most humans grow up learning to walk, speak, interact, read non verbal cues. I would argue a musicians wouldn't tend to be a higher IQ than an average person but an AI can't come close to writing a song and playing a guitar that reasonates with people. AI can assist with it but it's missing the human spark for now

> can still require the manufacturers to privately submit to the government all code

I wonder if companies purchasing trains could put code disclosure in the purchase contract? I wonder if, in aggregate, train purchasers or car purchasers could fund an independent code storage vault and pay a small premium to fund that code vault organization?

In other words, if purchasers wanted this and valued this, they would demand it in purchase contracts and fund it.

Is it? The book requires being quite familiar with programming already. Perhaps this is me projecting my own experience of when I read it, but I feel like the book is targeted at someone in the late-phase of being a Junior Dev, and/or the early-phase of being an Intermediate Dev.

I personally derived a lot of value from reading the book, and I feel like my skills noticably improved from before to after. So perhaps my own biases are showing, but I believe discounting the book's contents wholesale is a mistake. There is a lot of value to be garnered from reading it. The book doesn't have to be the infallible word of the Software Gods for it to be useful.
How many distros now have their own GitLab instance? I know Alpine, Arch, and Debian do. Any others?

Plus Freedesktop, GNOME, U-Boot, and probably more I am not aware of.

At this point, even if GitLab decided to close down their CE offering, I think there is enough momentum in the community to keep it going (at least for a little while).

Your argument is that my statement framing the current conflict in Palestine as "A people were ethnically cleansed from the lands they lived on for centuries and those people continue to be oppressed and subjugated till this day, not only denied to return back to the lands they were expelled from, but continue until now to be forcibly expelled from the small amounts they remain on" applies to either side. I charge that you haven't provided any evidence that it applies to the Jews. You bring an example of Jewish expulsion from other parts of the world after 1948 (which does not fit the full description of the statement anyway) but then admit that it has nothing to do with the Palestinian plight or the current conflict.

I've been doing this a long time and one of the things I've learned is the more abstract the code, the more likely it is a changing business need will completely break the abstraction in unforeseeable ways.

Good code is easy to change.

Frankly, after years of falling heavily down the OO hole, I've come around to see procedural with as pure of functions as reasonable as probably the easiest to maintain long term.

Code is easy to follow and easy to modify.

I think that's a pretty good guess.

In my personal case, It's a mix of self-reliance and a committment to open source that makes me want to have an alternative to tailscale (although I use Tailscale for company stuff and that was my call). On top of that, for personal stuff I just have very simple networking needs, and I don't want to add yet another service (a headscale instance) I have to maintain and keep running, and in the case of headscale it's particularly important because I might lose my network if it goes down! For that reason, a tailscale-only solution that is all client and no server is attractive.

Side note: the existence of headscale is the reason why I decided to pay Tailscale for company stuff. Had the clients not been open source, and there had not been a compatible FOSS server implementation, I would have spent the time/money slinging wireguard or using some other solution. I love Tailscale for opening the clients and allowing/even supporting headscale.

Yup, while the average person probably overestimated the possibility that the (then future) vaccines could eradicate covid, the messaging was pretty clear from day one that practically everyone was going to get it and that the goal of lockdowns was to stop a healthcare collapse.

It's interesting to me how much revisionism seems to happen with covid specifically. Did people misunderstand it at the time or has the perception changed after the fact?
