Il settore sanitario, ricco di dati sensibili e preziosi come i Fascicoli Sanitari Elettronici (EHR), è diventato un obiettivo principale per i cybercriminali. Contrariamente alla credenza comune, gli EHR comandano prezzi più elevati rispetto ai numeri di carta di credito o ai numeri di previdenza sociale sul mercato del dark web. La vulnerabilità dei dati sensibili e il loro alto valore economico rendono le organizzazioni sanitarie un bersaglio attraente per i cyber attacchi.

Le violazioni del settore sanitario risultano costose e problematiche. Il costo medio di una violazione supera i $10 milioni, superando anche il settore finanziario. L'aumento esponenziale degli incidenti di hacking o IT negli ultimi anni, registrati dal Dipartimento della Salute e dei Servizi Umani degli Stati Uniti (HSS), evidenzia l'emergenza di questa minaccia crescente.

Uno degli avversari principali è il ransomware, che sfrutta la necessità critica di cure mediche per esercitare pressioni sul settore sanitario. Questi gruppi di ransomware si sono evoluti in operazioni sofisticate, mirando alle organizzazioni sanitarie per vari motivi:

Alta Digitalizzazione: Il settore sanitario è spinto dall'innovazione e contiene molti dati sensibili.
Limiti delle Risorse: Molti ospedali e organizzazioni sanitarie soffrono di sottodimensionamento e mancanza di competenze in sicurezza informatica.
Alti Rischi: L'imperativo di mantenere la cura dei pazienti spinge le organizzazioni sanitarie a pagare riscatti, rendendole obiettivi attraenti.

Tuttavia, c'è speranza nella strategia: adottare la mentalità dell'attaccante può rivelarsi una soluzione vitale. Gli sforzi per capire il modo in cui gli attaccanti operano e identificare le vulnerabilità consentono alle organizzazioni di prepararsi e mitigare le minacce, invertendo l'equilibrio del potere contro i criminali informatici.

Questo cambiamento di paradigma permette alle organizzazioni di focalizzarsi sulla protezione dei loro asset digitali, comprendendo meglio le tattiche degli attaccanti e proteggendo i punti di vulnerabilità. Questa proattività è essenziale, specialmente nell'ambiente complesso e in rapida evoluzione del panorama della cybersecurity nel settore sanitario.

Mentre la tecnologia avanza, la sicurezza informatica diventa una priorità. Implementare tecnologie all'avanguardia e promuovere una cultura di consapevolezza sulla sicurezza può rafforzare la resistenza del settore sanitario contro le minacce in continua evoluzione. La vigilanza costante, l'auditing delle proprie impronte digitali online e la rapida identificazione di vulnerabilità possono essere le chiavi per preservare la sicurezza e la privacy dei dati dei pazient
The sliders are a factor of the rotational velocity. By changing those, the simulation gets updated in real time, so you can manually accelerate any type of rotation.

Currently there's no support for cross-sections, and I'm not sure how they could be integrated in the current flow. But feel free to submit a feature request over on the discussions page of the repository. I'll see what I can do.
You should try "Obliterated", its hilarious, it doesn't take itself aerious, it plays with almost all TV tropes we know (in a good way), references everything from Rambo to Die Hard and has an eye for detail (every scene hints at something or is important in some regard). Also, episodes 2-8, each roughly an hour, cover an in-series time frame of 7 hours, which is a bice touch. Throw in good acting, good dialogs and liekable characters and you uave a great show.

Bonus: No brand name stars in it neither.
I will echo what the parent said: there’s no way your backend is taking seconds (fucking seconds) to return data unless there is something terribly wrong with your system.

Complex queries should be optimized. The only time I have run into query issues is when: I was lazy, and didn’t want to optimize the query/schema/data layout and structures; the system was built by someone of questionable sanity and skillset; or the generated data is legitimately compute intensive, requiring lots of math i.e. more ops and cycles, but at that point it’s a report and the user can wait for it to gen (but in this case it is a lot of math that hasn’t taken advantage of parrallization).

In the wild, I’ve mostly seen people having zero clue what they’re doing (this includes management, who are as culpable for not caring about perf).
I heard the "no license" theory before but I find it hard to believe because Netflix originals suffer from the same problem.
Next, try addressing why they change all the time, and seemingly for no reason. It's infuriating.

The latest inexplicable, surprise change happened when my Apple Watch updated overnight, I went to open control center the next morning to locate my phone which I had misplaced, and .... it wouldn't open. For 10 minutes I fiddled with this fucking thing, thinking I was going senile at one point, only to find out that Apple moved the control center trigger to the side (power) button, and swipe from below now does something completely different. No warning, no announcement, no nothing, and no way to revert to the old behavior which existed for years. Imagine walking into your car one morning and the operation of the pedals was suddenly reversed due to an automatic software update because some geekaroid at the car manufacturer thought it was a good idea.

At this point I'm convinced they are making changes as a means to justify their existence. If I ran that company the project managers responsible for these breaking changes - and yes, unannounced UI changes are breaking changes - would all be fired.
Mars landing is actually less energy intensive the moon landing.

SpaceX is already launching 100 times a year. Starship is supposed to have even faster turn around, launching multiple 100 times per year doesn't seem crazy, specially as current launches require complex iteration, unlike pure fuel launches. Its likely closer to 16 then 20. And optimizing the process and efficiency it will be less then that.

You end up landing around 100 tons. So you can potentially do 1000+ tons a year, and that is before you even go to having many ocean launch pads.

Ok not enough for colonization, but its a damn good start.
The photographer says it had been expected to decrease by 3 orders of magnitude, which would definitely be noticeable with the naked eye.

The video in a sibling comment by bscphil also seems to show it decreasing by ~2 orders of magnitude (compare it to the stars in the "sword") - do you think this is highly processed?
Or, to look at it another way, they are giving the profitable customers what they want.

It is clear Netflix don't want me as a paying customer, and that makes sense. At least in the short term.

> It's obviously ridiculously expensive to insert null checks before every object access

This is actually the other way around. Both .NET and JVM do it the same way - they inject the smallest instruction that dereferences a pointer (e.g. cmp byte ptr [rax], al or ldr xzr, [x2]) and when it throws a hardware exception, it is then caught by the registered runtime handler, which then subsequently resumes the execution of managed code from the hardware exception location and raises corresponding Null Reference/Pointer exception there.

The only expensive part is when the exception does get raised, which costs roughly 4us in .NET and 11us in OpenJDK hotspot (Java has cheaper exceptions when you throw them out of Java, costing about 700ns at throughput, but much more expensive NPEs).

As a result, null-checks are almost always cheap, or free by being implicit (reading array length can be a null-check itself since it will be dereferencing nullptr + 0x08 or so depending on the implementation detail), and the compilers are pretty good at eliding them as well where possible.
I’m not sure if this is related enough or not, but here goes:

On Mac and now iPadOS (https://useyourloaf.com/blog/ipad-customizable-toolbars/), the built-in toolbar control supports a high degree of customization. You can try this in Finder, among many other native apps.

Powerful built-in widgets are an underappreciated aspect of the Mac desktop, and something I worry about with SwiftUI taking over. They’re also a huge win for iOS, but less so because it is so common for apps to want to put their own spin on the design.

Anyway, am I crazy, or did iOS apps used to support customizing tab bars out of the box? While clearly different from toolbars, supporting editing the order (and which are actually displayed) of tabs felt like the spiritual equivalent of built-in toolbar customization. And I haven’t seen it in years.

According to doc it is still there, but does anyone know of apps still using this pattern? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uitabbarcont...

Anyway, tab bars are cool also because that is what is used by Apple TV in most apps I’ve used, and the consistent experience is wonderful.
I am no expert on such systems. But it seems to me that the comparisons should only be run within the cells. The caller only passes the one to compare it to, and the only thing that comes back from each cell is any matches. That way, only the specific cell has access to its data.
Probably not. This kind of scanning is essentially nuisance behavior. Like any nuisance, you could ignore it, or you could take action to suppress it. Where you land on that is largely personal opinion, but for a commercial project you should probably lean towards "ignoring" since any action against tends to create the possibility of false positives that affect customers.

For personal use, I do feel that Wireguard or managed Wireguard setups like Tailscale are so easy to use that putting everything behind a VPN is cheap insurance and even convenient, since it takes care of NAT traversal for you.
I actually agree with the substance of this comment, but want to point out that the word "startup" doesn't apply here. Presto has been around since 2008, when it was selling table side tablets to restaurants. After years playing around in that market, they did a SPAC IPO and then did a fast and hard pivot into becoming an AI automation play. Nonetheless, they saw an opportunity and went after it quickly. And the fact is, it did move the needle for a lot of these restaurants. I spoke with an owner of a few Checkers stores who was talking about how excited they were to have this offering, not just to replace workers, but because they often had no-shows and absences that would completely ruin their daily operations, and offloading one role could mean that their teams could be more resilient.
They brought me in here to do a job, they asked me to stir the damned tanks, and I stirred the tanks!
What does it mean "to be on the other side" of this singularity in your graphic representation? I failed to grasp this.
> We only know their judgements were "sound" after the event.

In the sense that no human being can claim in advance to always exercise "sound judgment", sure. But the judgment of mine that I described was also made after the event. So I'm comparing apples to apples.

> As for "common sense", that's the sound human brains make on the inside when they suffer a failure of imagination — it's not a real thing

I disagree, but I doubt we're going to resolve that here, unless this claim is really part of your next point, which to me is the most important one:

> Such humans are the norm.

Possibly such humans far outnumber the ones who actually are capable of sound judgment, etc. In fact, your claim here is really just a more extreme version of mine: we know a significant number of humans exist who do not have the necessary qualities, however you want to describe them. You and I might disagree on just what the number is, exactly, but I think we both agree it's significant, or at least significant enough to be a grave concern. The primary point is that the existence of such humans in significant numbers is the existential risk we need to figure out how to mitigate. I don't think we need to even try to make the much more extreme case you make, that no humans have the necessary capabilities (nor do I think that's true, and your examples don't even come close to supporting it--what they do support is the claim that many of our social institutions are corrupt, because they allow such humans to be put in positions where their bad choices can have much larger impacts).
I'm from the UK and currently living in Lithuania, and I'd say it somewhat has an anti-complaining bias.

In the UK people get upset and make a big deal about even the tiniest things. I read an article yesterday about someone who moved to a new area and got upset that a farmer kept their bins opposite their driveway (at the entrance to the farmer's land). They ended up in a court battle - which they lost - and had to sell the house to pay the legal fees.

Here in Lithuania there is an attitude of 'that's just the way things are, and there's nothing you can do'. So people don't bother complaining, as it's a waste of mental energy. I guess this comes from Soviet times, as with younger people it does appear to be changing.
Compromise has been tried. The creation of Israel was a compromise. Rejected by the Arab states. Oslo was a compromise. Rejected by Arafat. Camp David 2000 was a compromise. Rejected again by Arafat.

The Palestinian position is that Oslo and Camp David were not good faith compromises by Israel, but even if so Arafat made no counter-offer. He rejected the offers out of hand. Then the second Intifada started and ushered in Likud and Netanyahu which led us to where we are today.

As far as a Palestinian right-of-return to within Israel's borders. It would be the demographic end of a Jewish democratic Israel. It's the one thing that Israel absolutely will not and cannot compromise on. It's an unreasonable demand.

To my mind: Palestinians have never had effective leadership and they've been used as pawns by the other Arab nations. The lack of Palestinian leadership is not entirely the Palestinians' doing, at least since Arafat anyway. Israel has intentionally kept West Bank and Gaza leadership divided. Nonetheless, Palestinians are going to need to figure out a way to have effective leadership. Someone who is motivated and empowered to negotiate for peace, recognizing that Palestinians are not negotiating from a position of strength.

Same goes for productivity and jerks. Quickly speeding up or slowing down literally requires a jerk, and many wont like it regardless how you do it. You can go fast without jerks, but you can't react fast without jerks.

"A total of 42,939 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2021. These deaths occurred in 39,508 crashes involving 61,332 motor vehicles. This was a 10 percent increase in deaths compared with 2020."

https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/yearl...

When you say driving is also safe, it doesn't really seem like a reasonable comparison when 85,878 died in motor vehicle crashes for every 1 person that died from flying.
That's a great outcome. I was the producer of "The Edge of Democracy" - line 14047 of the Excel file with 200,000 hours viewed. Although we were nominated for an Oscar and became a Netflix originals, they've never disclosed any numbers related to how successful (or not) our film was on the platform.
This could be old info but I believe the Baseband chipset has its own microphone in addition to access to the user mics for the purposes of signal processing.

This was a stink years ago and part of the GSMK product development. AFAIK GSMK is the only commercially available product to have a baseband firewall and their own stuff running to deal with this
Imagine buying a wearable computer with automatic remote updates and thinking it will behave like an analog watch.
No no, we are sure about that. We do not have any free will.
Overall I thought the watchOS changes were a huge upgrade to the visual design and power of the platform and its apps.

But I still end up opening the wrong view (control center or app drawer) at least once a day. And it’s been months! If the choice is so unintuitive a reasonably fanboyish user doesn’t learn it after months, it’s probably the wrong choice.
> turn the door handle, and unplug the rack.

There are door handles that you cannot turn, and racks you cannot unplug: ones buried deep in the Cheyenne Mountains and hidden far away in the Siberian tundra. They are protected by unfathomably powerful systems, with the support of countless people and backed by the whims global economic power.

I say this as someone who likely agrees with you. I think the power of the real world, that of companies, and governments and militaries should decrease our concern with AGI gaining power itself.

But I don’t think it’s as obvious as pointing to the fragility of software. Our human systems are fragile too, and subject to manipulation in not-so-different a way as data centers. I think you should not be so quick to discount the voices of many smart people shouting.
I think RAG are the sweet spot of current tech. I've got a client with a 50 year repository of technical reports and while my memory is great, the organization logic is abysmal.

Something that can locate files, excerpts, timelines and basic QA from just a point and shoot capacity would kill so many small-medium orgs. it's basically plugnplay search to bright engineers, scientists, technical staff, etc up to speed. add flexibility without having to "train" someone up. basically, bypass ever having to hire interns.
it's hard for new gamers to get into a new game when developers are following the marvel universe concept where everything needs to have a backstory and you need to watch prequels/sequels to fully enjoy things. ultimately they are pandering only to their die-hard fans who will churn with time
> Any AGI that is a threat to humanity has to be suicidal to act on it because of how the world works

A "threat to humanity" need not mean "killing all humans next year". It could just mean some entity gaining permanent control. That situation would be irreversible and humanity would be at the mercy of that entity. Chances are, the entity would have emerged victorious from an evolutionary struggle for power and thus would not care about human flourishing.

That entity need not be a single AI. It could be a system like a large corporation or a country where initially a lot of "small" decisions are made by AIs. Over time, the influence of humans on this system might diminish and the trend might become irreversible.

Currently, no individual and no group, (organization, country...) on the planet has anywhere close to complete control over humanity. Further, even if some country managed to conquer everything, it could not hope to maintain that power indefinitely. An immortal system capable of complete surveillance, however, may be able to maintain power. It's a new thing, we don't know. "Sentience" doesn't matter one bit for any of this.

Such a system might take centuries to form or it might go quickly. Humans might also go extinct before something like this comes about. However, that doesn't mean people who think about such possibilities are stupid.
Yes! Someone elsewhere mentions the engineers of the first printing press trying to imagine the future of literature (someone adds: and/or advertising). On the other side of that invention taking off.

My go-to example is that we have run into similar things with the pace and volume of "Science". For a long while one could be a scientific gentleman and keep up with the sciences. As a whole. Then quite suddenly, on the other side, you couldn't and you had to settle for one field. And then it happened again: people noticed that you can't master one field even, on the current side. And you have to become a hyper-specialist to master your niche. You can still be a generalist - in order to attack specific questions - but you better have contacts who are hyper-specialists for what you really need.
I was baffled by the PDP-10 assembler reference manual. For example, I didn't know what a stack was, what a register was, etc.

Eventually, I got a hold of the 6800 instruction set manual. It had what, 40 instructions? Small enough for me to "get" it. All of a sudden, it all made sense.

So I have a soft spot for the good ole' 6800! I eventually designed, built, and programmed my own 6800 single board computer. I had a blast with that project.

Apple basically didn't write anything down.

Tim Sweeney:

The thing with Apple is all of their antitrust trickery is internal to the company. They use their store, their payments, they force developers to all have the same terms, they force OEMs and carriers to all have the same terms.

I think the Apple case would be no less interesting if we could see all of their internal thoughts and deliberations, but Apple was not putting it in writing, whereas Google was. You know, I think Apple is… it’s a little bit unfortunate that in a lot of ways Apple’s restrictions on competition are absolute. Thou shalt not have a competing store on iOS and thou shalt not use a competing payment method. And I think Apple should be receiving at least as harsh antitrust scrutiny as Google.

As long as you have the correct LSN there is no way for this to go wrong.

If you resume replication with an incorrect LSN replication will break immediately. I have spent way too much time trying to do this on my own before the blog post was written and I have seen it fail over and over again.

To give you more confidence, try with the LSN from the "redo starts at" log message. It looks close but it will always fail.
Is this a serious question? Smoking a joint was just one of the clues...
Adding to that, it probably shouldn't need to be bit banged. I've found that SPI peripherals can generally be put into a mode that can speak gameboy link cable. When I wrote a gameboy printer emulator in an arduino that simply spoke over serial instead of over wifi, running the emulation state machine as the highest priority task directly in the SPI interrupt worked great.
Not OP, but it magically appeared by League of Nations (UN) vote in 1948.

"Stealing land" is a very one-sided war to look at it. The legalities and mortality of land captured in self defence are debatable to some extent, but clearly not theft. Pre 1948 there was never a Palestinian state (no Palestinian government, currency, army).

2005 disengagement was a more right-wing government. Interestingly, the real peace actions in Israel tend to be achieved by the right wing government.

But if by your argument every Israeli government is somehow a separate state entity, why did the terrorist attacks continue non stop through right wing and left wing Israeli governments?

War is not genocide. Using overly emotive terms does not make your argument stronger.
Yep back in the early days it was very common to be able to mix around tabs and take out out in the ones you wanted. Back when FB was still decent in the... iOS7? says it let you do this with chat, feed, notifications, groups, etc. as an example.
That is a common time waster.
