I’ve told doctors countless times the medication’s they used to treat my Asperger’s and my bipolar disorder schizoaffective type, make me ill weak and caused me pain. But they never listen to me. So this is not even about people with serious mental handicaps. They don’t listen to patients in general. But that’s true for people with mental illness They think every pain or issue we have is solely our heads.

But I also recently had a friend mother who went to the doctor because her ankles were swelling and she had some other issues. They took a blood test and didn’t tell her. Her kidney function was with stage 3B kidney failure. It was two weeks until my friend showed me the labs and I told her to go back and force him to take more test.

I don’t know what’s going on in medicine if this is something new or is this something old but medical school shouldn’t cost as much as it does if they’re putting out doctors like these.
I moved from SF to Japan, can confirm. YMMV — like any other country, cost of living depends on what city and neighborhood you’re in, lifestyle, etc.
Secrets handling is indeed an issue, you can shoot yourself in the foot if you are not careful. If you are careful you can avoid it though and it is not neccessarily difficult. It is certainly is one aspect of NixOS that requires care and can be improved. But to me, it is not so bad as to avoid it. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages with a wide margin

They also don't teach them how to care for people with Type 1 diabetes. There are so many horror stories about how awful hospitalization is for T1Ds. So many doctors and nurses don't understand the complexity of treating the disease, or respect the patient's ability to treat it themselves while in the hospital. Not to mention how common misdiagnoses are: I was diagnosed as T2, when I was clearly T1. They didn't even do an antibody test, all because I was an adult. So many people (including doctors) still have the dangerous idea that T1D only manifests in kids.

I'm terrified of being hospitalized for that reason. I'll sign whatever paperwork needed in order to self treat with my CGM and pump. I've been doing this for 12 years, no doctor is going to be about to do it better.

This also scares me in terms of inpatient mental health facilities. They often don't even give you access to your own insulin and testing supplies. Which is a recipe for feeling much worse after leaving then entering.
> but his tenure at Twitter was laughable to anyone who has passed CS 101

Honest question: why?
Just because your bubble denounces him and he's doing things differently than other big tech, in a way that upset developers / managers that doesn't mean he's automatically wrong.

Twitter is still running and it has a business trajectory that looks positive (subscriptions are great). Probably if we didn't have a board of do-nothing for years twitter could have turned into the Line of the west. Maybe it could have captured all the profits which ended up on patreon and onlyfans.

If it wasn't for his anti remote stance and general disregard for life-work balance I'd love to work for him. Finally, an organisation when things get done with few hard working people, and not hundreds of drones collecting a paycheck and slowing me down and complaining all the time.

Sure you can: if you have accounting fraud the CFO is liable, and the only question is whether it’s for deliberate fraud or negligence but in either case the buck stops at the top. The reason why such charges are uncommon is because those people tend to be politically well-connected, not because it’s impossible to come up with a regulatory solution.

Most of the $XDG_FOO_DIR dirs are just-in-time created with a `mkdir -p` when something wants to put stuff under them. Given that you're running a program that manipulates the XDG dirs, that program must already exist somewhere else on your system — so it probably doesn't need to write any binaries. It's already installed!

Also, language package ecosystem tooling — the one thing most people touch that could end up installing user-local binaries — is generally just lame and doesn't obey XDG. For just one example, "per-user global" installation of Ruby gems (`gem install --user-install foo`), should properly install the gems under ~/.local/libexec/gem, and then symlink the binstubs of said gem into ~/.local/bin. But it doesn't; it just dumps everything into its own ~/.gem dir and then expects you-the-user to figure out what dir under there to add to your $PATH. Same applies to Rust, Go, Python, and every other language I'm aware of.

One thing you can do that will almost-assuredly use ~/.local/bin/, though, is to intentionally point an autotools configure script at ~/.local as its --prefix. `make install` will then dump binaries into ~/.local/bin.

>Those are very separate use cases and get managed in different ways.

To me they all look the same. For example you could have a /nix/state that had a directory for each program. Each program could have its own global and user specific state it could manage from within its directory.

Interesting to compare the commentary about paying taxes vs app store fees. The effective tax rate for income and healthcare for "corrupt politicians to line up their greasy pockets" is very close to the 15% that Apple charges as a fixed percentage. But the latter passes without judgement.
In sweden they teach them to underestimate what people complain about, and when in doubt send them home and if they come back try to do something about it.
I think the big difference is not "tech vs non tech" but "software vs non-software".

Software companies have beautiful margins. Their incremental cost is practically zero, their biggest expense is headcount for R&D, etc.

Non-software companies have to deal with gross things like inventory, lead times, logistics, shipping, RMA, etc etc... You know, the dirty details of not having the luxury of literally just selling information/bits.

Software companies great margins mean that employees can capture a larger share of that (because they create so much value). Lower-margin businesses can't, so the pay isn't as good.
That is not what I wrote, and not at all what I meant. A high-pressure "test" is cruel to folks who simply don't test well. Simple as that. Interviews can get at the skills of someone without putting them through that.

I can't, so far, think of anyone who faked it past my interview teams over the years. It's not that hard to figure out if someone can actually code, has a sincere interest in it, respects others, craves improvement and measures their work by the value created. I really don't care if they test well.

And, like I said, the bar is actually very high to join my teams. But my teams aren't prototype or manifestations of any theory of teams -- it's just folks getting the work done and enjoying it along the way.

A team of different folks will need different things by definition and still be valuable individuals, each different, each worthy of respect.
Right, see my reply to biztos.
Many thanks for the hint! After doing some digging I found ORCID API endpoints which are able to resolve DOIs and PMIDs to ORCID profiles. While not all of the authors of the papers I checked are included (because some obviously do not have ORCIDs), this will likely solve the issue for a good chunk of the authors. Great!

Ask HN: Replacing Nvidia GPU with AMD
Dear community
I am currently exploring the feasibility of replacing Nvidia GPUs with AMD GPUs for LLM inference. Can anyone share their experience or point me to any relevant research on the performance differences between these GPUs for this task? Are there any particular hardware or software limitations that may affect the feasibility of such a switch? Thank you for your insights!
> realistically TikTok is just very good at giving you content you're interested in.

Why are employees touching leaking batteries?

Just have some hardware stores keep a bucket labeled “recycle your batteries here” and the recycler can make monthly visits.
It's a bit weird because electricity delivered to your home is generally more expensive than fossil fuels. What currently makes EVs cheaper to operate is that at the pump, you pay hefty taxes that go toward road maintenance and related purposes. For now, this taxation disparity incentivizes driving EVs. In the long haul, this will probably go away.

I'm surprised by the "more spacious" comment, however. In the same size class, EVs tend to be more cramped because of how much space is needed for batteries. Even for large cars, like the Cybertruck, the trade-offs are fairly evident. No spare tire, for example.

Have you tried the indie software thing like this guy? How has that been going? I feel like I have enough saved now that even if I can't get corporate work anymore due to age (which I kind of doubt due to the age of people I've worked with in FANG, and the fact I'm already pretty much a manager of managers, which tends to run older) that I would be pretty happy doing the indie thing too.
That's just rude. Using children's entertainment to push geopolitical narratives about mineral rights.

- "Still, the Canadian government was careful to drive home the point that it believes Santa's workshop lies within this country's territory. [...] As The Globe and Mail first reported earlier in the month, Prime Minister Stephen Harper made a last-minute intervention in Canada's planned submission to the United Nations commission that is accepting claims for seabed rights in regions such as the Arctic. Mr. Harper asked Canadian bureaucrats to go back to the drawing board and craft a more expansive claim for ocean-floor resources in the polar region after the proposed submission they showed him failed to include the geographic North Pole."
I disagree, given one of my favorite synths FM8, which in particular I've always found easy given its very thoughtful interface mechanisms of an "easy mode" and a "hard mode" both of which have extremely powerful, precise envelopes which can be dialed in really cleanly to visually carve out any kind of sound one is looking for. It's easy to grab a preset, customize to taste, and experiment with it to gain your footing and intuition around how it works.

I also disagree that a synth which "reverse-engineers" the audio sounds you feed it is the right way to go. By doing this rather than learning how to do it from scratch (albeit with training wheels as I've previously described), you rob yourself of the rich experience of learning how to use FM synthesis as applied physical modeling.
Words change roles, and shit is a very good contemporary example. Among my children's generation (mid-20s to mid-30s) it is now just as much as stand-in for "stuff" as it is an expression of anger or insult. "Where am I going to put all this shit?" does still carry a hint of a negative tone (directed towards the stuff), but barely any.
I probably would agree with the unsnarkified version of what you're saying to some extent, but I think it's worth mentioning that the argument you seem to be dismissing can take a much stronger form, questioning latent premises about free will by proposing that _neither_ computers nor humans are sentient, that they are both entirely deterministic and utimately amount to interference patterns of ancient thermodynamic gradients created in the formation of the universe.
I agree and I'm not too happy about this approach as well. Still, this appears to be my best shot for the authors without ORCIDs. I will try to increase the accuracy through guardrails, good prompting and occasional spot checks.

It is nice and it's interesting how if you go read stuff like Einstein's general relativity paper you (or at least I did) find that it's actually quite similar and not so dense.
To be fair though, Beowulf in its original form would be incomprehensible even to well read native English speakers. Old English and Modern English are so different that they're no longer mutually intelligible even. Same goes for a lot of languages if you compare them to themselves a millennium apart. Or if their common ancestor was milennia ago.

E.g Icelandic and Faroese aren't really mutually intelligible with Norwegian today, despite both being evolved directly from Old Norwegian, because both places were originally settled by Norwegian vikings.

Shakepeare is essentially just very old school, yet still Modern English. This still feels within the realm of understanding of current day native speakers equipped with a good dictionary.
Agree about the accountant, they are expensive in some countries, but usually worth it.

Can you elaborate on your last point? For salary you still need to pay >20% income tax + social insurance, and for dividends you still need to pay >20% after you just paid your corporation tax >15%.

I'm curious, why its better to pay yourself more, when your laptop, phone and even food can be covered by the company? (Assuming a single founder company, doing everything legally)
> So they don't explode when they're new, but after a while? How old was the machine exploding?

No. What they say that the problem occurs only very rarely. The first of this MRI model was introduced in 2001, there are hundreds of them used all the time and only one explosion happened. Presumably that is the explosion which has shown them that there is something wrong with the model, and now they are taking corrective action.

> this would be the second recall in few years for philips

It is a huge company doing a lot of things. The safest way to never make a mistake is by sitting on your hand and refusing to do anything.

Some of the affected MRIs are old enough now to buy you a alcohol, how is this an evidence of anything recent with Philips?

> whatever, doesn't come through as high quality

They found a rare but potentially high impact issue and are fixing it in decades old equipment on their own dime.

Show us that you have done things of similar complexity better. What equipment you have designed is in constant operation since 22 years? How do you know it doesn't have any low probability, high consequence failure modes?
I hate to say it but my kids aren’t as good as their cousins. I haven’t talked strategy with any of them. My own strategy seems to be approximately a wash.
When it comes to transistor scaling, as implied by Moore's law, isn't the company driving the advancement TSMC and friends? The ones you listed are all fabless.
In ancient Hebrew and ancient Greek, there was no T/V distinction, so their equivalent of "thou" was never considered informal. Some Early Modern translators of the bible tried to preserve the thou/you distinction as it existed in ancient Hebrew and ancient Greek, while deliberately ignoring how it worked in the languages they were translating into. This then influenced the language of prayer.

Another pattern is that religious language tends to be archaic. For example, Jews pray in ancient Hebrew, Muslims in classical Arabic, some Catholics in classical Latin, and so on. I don't know whether this is done to create a sense of awe and mystery, or because religions try to appear unchanging.
And what do the different heads represent? Why are query, key, and values simply linear transforms of the input.
Totally depends on country.
> "People say "just show the posts in chronological order," but this doesn't scale for humans reading it, especially as you follow more people."

I'm not sure I agree with you. I'm in 40+ IRC channels and multiple networks. I have an IRC Bouncer with playback enabled and my window stops when I log off at the place where I left off. I can easily scroll back to the bottom an see what's current. Same thing goes for Discord and Slack.

I have never in my life thought, "wow I wish I could get a summary of all the dumb shit said in ##chat and ##politics in the same place when I come back." Maybe, just maybe, I don't need to know the highlights of everything that's happened since I last logged on?
You're more likely thinking of Quakers. At least those still a part of the mid-Atlantic tradition historically use "thou" to avoid power distinctions. Not many still do this in daily speech, but it's not absolutely lost, and is sometimes used for emphasis in a conversation in which matters of power and equality are lurking.
I too "read Vaswani et al. (2017) multiple times, carefully, and was quite unable to grasp what 'attention' was supposed to be doing. (I could follow the math.) I also read multiple tutorials, for multiple intended audiences, and got nothing from them."

It took years before I finally realized it was just a kernel smoothing (though I never used quite so precise language), all because of a poorly written paper. This is what I mean when I say almost every ML paper is trash. "Attention is All You Need" is even way better than most---ever read the Adam paper?
Adobe is on record saying something like "people say to us they want Photoshop on Linux, but when we ask them how much they would pay they say 'what do you mean pay? software is free on Linux'"
Yes, but imagine it not sounding funny like in the English case, because it's a normal feature of the language/culture...
> konsole: As far as I can tell it isn't supported. Creating a new profile and setting the "Terminal bell mode" to "Visual Bell" doesn't seem to result in the urgent hint being set.

However, Konsole has a way better solution for the presented problem: it has been possible to "monitor for (in)activity for a long time. It is also now possible to monitor for process termination, which you can (un)check anytime if you decide that you need to be notified.

These features are very convenient, much better than having to hack a solution using the bell in my opinion.
Use Apps, Not Tabs
I'm working on apps for nonprofits that can't afford people of my caliber. I don't charge for my work, but take it every bit as seriously, as if I were. It's actually part of the satisfaction that I get from the work.

Keeps me busy and up-to-date, and is extremely gratifying.

I'm getting ready to release an app that is a top-to-bottom system, involving a couple of servers that I wrote, along with a fairly robust native iOS frontend.

Works a charm. I've enjoyed it. Of course, I have to keep my scope humble, but I've always been able to punch above my weight, so it's working out.

I think about what’s discussed often as it relates to euphemisms. For example, exonyms for minorities or disabled people changes all the time. My theory is that euphemisms are “disposable” in that they start “clean” with no external meaning or definition and therefore can’t be perceived as negative. Over time, it absorbs meaning and context and eventually it becomes as “dirty” as word it supplanted and the cycle continues.
I qualified as a nurse - Registered Nurse Mental Handicap - RNMH - here in the UK in 1989.

Many of those I cared for needed regular blood tests. Esp those prescribed lithium and other anti-convulsants so that the drug regime was within therapeutic limits.

There is, for example, a patient called John. He needs a blood test. He comes into a room with a person he has never met, to be subjected to something he is unfamilar with and, unsurprisngly, get agitated and refuses.

This happened again and again and again.

We, as a group of nurses say "Hey, let us do the blood sampling, we know the person, we can time it right, we know this person"

This idea was opposed 100% because DOCTORS KNOW BEST.
