But MRI does not use radioactivity. It's just a huge magnet that swing your hydrogens nuclei and a detector for the tiny light produced by them.

If you want to be scared, CT is beter. They send you a lot of x-rays. The x-ray can produce cancer, so the total dose should be low to be safe, so you can't take a CT everyday.

But PET is better to be scared. They inject you wit a radioctive liquid that produce positrons. Positrons colide with your electrons and produce two gamma photons. The photons are detected and after a lot of calculatons you get an image. Don't take one eveey day.

There are a few more. They have a small risk, but used correctly the benefit outweight the risk. Ask your medical doctor and don't take they just for fun.
Sure, if you like. Although a nit: communism historically doesn't mind celebrating individual heroics or achievements as such, if they're seen as selflessly done in service of the cause. The view of society as a single organism which knows better than you is more central to the definition and prototype of fascism, even if it's also a result of any kind of collective reordering of a society.
I’m working on a lot of things which, when I think about it, are all related to the "smolnet/smallweb". (offpunk, mainly, but also other email/gemini/blog related stuff).

It is funny because it seems that I’m now always looking for "the next small thing" instead of the "the next big thing" ;-)
Same! I took a break from my job. A couple of years ago. My new full-time engagement is myself, and it's one of the most challenging and exhausting and fulfilling jobs I've ever had. Sometimes I catch myself "wanting" to go back to the "less complex" version of myself, but there's no turning back now, and it only takes a few minutes to realize I wouldn't want to go back anyway. ;)
I liked the new one fine, but I felt the same way. It was mostly just gawking at effects rather than story-intrigue for me, although I'm already familiar.

Spent more time thinking about the CGI than I did thinking about the plot, I think that might indicate something.
I thought the same. I wonder if they did already? If so I would love to see the picture(s).
This is kind of what tldraw are doing except they use 4V and instructions are png files. This could be a nice wysiwug for llamaindex or langchain agents in certain cases.

So this is just linkback but over ActivityPub?

Also, this name has already been used in a social network: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes_Ping
In what way? Isn’t it just a choice a company commits to that can have a good outcome or a bad outcome for the company?
I'd guess the more mundane, someone probably had a spreadsheet of a few thousand updates or improvements, checked a reasonable sample of them, then accepted the lot of then. I bet you they don't make that mistake next time.
This is true in mid and late career, but not early. Lots of mathematically and engineering minded college students consider both CS and mech/aerospace as majors. Of course career prospects are a major influence.

Also fwiw my wife left a 10 year aerospace career, moving from NASA to Google, largely for comp reasons. She was a structural aerospace engineer, now she’s a data scientist.
If you find yourself thinking “this is all for nothing”, you’d be correct. You can’t take any of this crap with you when you pass. You do what makes you happy. What makes you happy? Searching for external validation of a pat on the back for a job well done is not what makes one happy. Take a moment, pause, just be, focus on your happiness and what that means to you. Stop comparing yourself to others. Stop trying to find fulfillment through praise or purpose and instead search inwards and ask yourself “What do I like, dislike, enjoy, and am I doing those things?”. If you are just going through the motions but haven’t searched within then I suggest you take a time out and get to know you again. Remember you. Rediscover you. Or start a new path. Life isn’t a straight line.
This type of behavior (and related) would primarily only be an issue with unconstrained generative models. If you're the one deploying the model, or a downstream consumer, once trained, the neural network can be reexpressed (via an exogenous/secondary model/process) to derive reliable and interpretable uncertainty quantification by conditioning on reference classes (in a held-out Calibration set) formed by the Similarity to Training (depth-matches to training), Distance to Training, and a CDF-based per-class threshold on the output magnitude. If the prediction/output falls below the desired probability threshold, gracefully fail by rejecting the prediction, rather than allowing silent errors to accumulate.

For higher-risk settings, you can always turn the crank to be more conservative (i.e., more stringent parameters and/or requiring a larger sample size in the highest probability and reliability data partition).

For classification tasks, this follows directly. For generative output, this comes into play with the final verification classifier used over the output.
If there is any way you can run a few ethernet cables as a backbone, I think it's pretty simple to just setup additional OpenWRT access points on the same SSID to allow client roaming.

Or, with dual-radio routers, setup WDS between the routers using one radio per router and clients on the other, so traffic does not compete for the same channel. I am not sure whether you can still do roaming this way as I've never tried it. But I did use it in the past to brdige wired clients from a secondary router back to the main router over WDS.

“ Siri is mostly useless and I’ve never met anyone who uses it regularly. So whether it needs ml processing or not is irrelevant.”

You should get out more. I use Siri daily to switch lights, set reminders, turn on timers, and play music. It works well within limited domains like that. I don’t try to use it as an answerbot. That is a much bigger task and it is not suited for that.

Certainly Siri (and Alex and Google Assistant) is not very good right now for more complex tasks. That’s why Apple’s announcement that they will be adding LLM-style AI in the next OS interesting as it could make Siri more reliable and useful for more people.
Yeah, it's crazy how common that view seems to be in the industry for something that simply does not make sense.

What people call "velocity" is an inherently relative measure, but they insist on treating it as an absolute. You can have a really slow team have a "great" velocity if their estimates account for moving slowly, and a fast team have awful "velocity" if their estimates are too short.

Ultimately, it's a measure of something like predictability or consistency. Treating it as if it actually measures development speed is a category error.

And hey, maybe consistency is what you want to prioritize over everything else! But, well, probably not.
Hmm, my reading of the title was, is anyone working on something that they have a good reason to suspect will turn out to be nothing. I.e. does anyone think they are doing a bullshit job.

I am not sure how one can work on absolutely nothing unless one is happily retired/unemployed.
Just one data-point, but I have only seen the _Arrival_ movie and perfectly understood that element of the aliens' writing system, and why it was important to their experience of time. I suspect that the circular design was chosen to be a better visual depiction (time as a closed loop, maybe?) of that idea.

Did you not see antifa going around attacking people and buildings in the 2020 George Floyd riots?
Yeah, but it's incredibly expensive. We got quoted a $$$$$$+ _monthly_ number several years ago, which helped us justify to the business to upgrade to Python 3.

Succeeding as a bad manager maybe. I’ve had the pleasure of working for three fantastic managers, one being now, over my career. The second I began asking for leadership advice as I was contemplating making the transition at the time. He gave me a bunch of sage books to read but summarized it in one quote from General Dwight D. Eisenhower:

“Leadership consists of nothing but taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong and giving your subordinates credit for everything that goes well.”

This has been an easy gauge for sussing out whether a new manager deserves my praise or not in the roles that came after. Leaders that embody that have, in my experience, always maintained a loyal, productive, non toxic team where individuals move up more rapidly, as well as the leader, due to the momentum that comes from not having constant turnover and a team that respects and enjoys their mission and mandate.
A more charitable read of the question could be: GP reads a compelling argument about a topic they have little expertise in, and are curious if there are dissenting opinions.

We can also talk about how much to trust comments on hacker news generally, but multiple data points from any quality of source are better than one.
Triplit is pretty opinionated about how things get stored so it doesn't work with existing SQLite schemas. We support basic `like` operators for searching but are definitely interested in supporting full text search.
If you want to try that out, we use Sqlite in our server implementation so you can see an example there: https://github.com/aspen-cloud/triplit/blob/main/packages/se...
It's not binary. Even caring a tiny bit will add more competitive pressure. And that doesn't address the "inexpensive" part.
Here's a good interactive map with a link to a peer-reviewed study.

https://projects.propublica.org/climate-migration/

Two things to note from the infographics.

In the first map, the US habitable range moves north, then west. Look at what happens to South America. (Sadly, it isn't a world map).

The second to last map talks about crop yields directly. Look at the scale. They're predicting a 20% increase in yields in places like Wyoming and Montana (which are not exactly bread-basket states), and 50-92% losses in yields for California's central valley, and most of the US South. Yields in other countries might make up for it (I doubt it), but the US's agricultural yields are set to collapse.
It's an art project whose purpose is to get people in the present to consider the passage of time, rather than a project whose purpose is to produce a photograph. To spark discussions like this about its feasibility in the face of the uncertainty of the future is as much a part of the project as the camera itself.
It does kinda feel like a movie directed by the Director of Photography and not a story teller. But we know Denis has been scouting locations for a decade or more. Makes me wonder if his director of photography enjoyed the experience or felt like puppet with someone’s hand up his backside the entire time.
Dr. Christopher Essex in a recent interview [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpjpBWxvamA] highlighted that it's called "peer review" and not "expert review" - which I think is an often most important detail that should not put anyone on a pedestal; of course the "peer review" system has been hijacked-corrupted to some degree, where there are gatekeepers to getting published in the "most reputable" journals.
> why does that sand woman shout when Jessica says a certain word?

This kind of thing is a “how much do you trust the audience?” thing. How literate are they in following a narrative? How much cultural or genre context are you relying on them to have? Sometimes phrased in certain circles as “respecting the audience”.

Specifically why might not be attainable, but there are conversations in a couple of scenes before that one, and some dialog after, that let one fill in the gaps on that reaction well enough.
If they want to run national advertising campaigns about the price of a value meal, every store has to offer a value meal at the advertised price.

I suppose they could just leave all the prices off national advertising, though.
>The far left are just as problematic as the far right

No, they aren't. It is virtually impossible for the far left to become as problematic as the far right, because the right wing in the US intersects with the vast cultural and financial power of the gun lobby and conservative Christianity, whereas the left is primarily composed of minority groups systemically oppressed and disenfranchised by the system. Unless you can drape your message in the iconography of the flag and the cross you can't have real power in American politics. That's baked in, down to the electoral college, which is designed to give rural American (more likely to be right-leaning) votes more power than urban (more likely to be left-leaning) votes so as to preserve the status quo, which is white, Conservative, capitalist and Christian.

Every left-wing movement in the US has been infiltrated, undermined and eventually crushed by the right. Occupy no longer exists. BLM no longer exists. Go back to the 60s - MLK, Malcolm X, the Black Panthers, Weather Underground. Bernie, the closest thing the US has to a mainstream socialist, was quickly swept aside by his own, supposedly "leftist" party, meanwhile Trump is still the frontrunner to win in 2024 and QAnon is still a viable political and cultural movement. Native Americans protesting pipelines get beaten, white Americans showing up to the White House with guns and Nazi flags get welcomed in. Show me an anti-war protest in the US that mattered. Vietnam, Iraq, Israel, Americans protesting in the millions, all definitionally "leftist." none of it mattered.

I mean, I wish the far left were just as problematic. At least then we would live in a somewhat equitable society where all political points of view had equal weight, an actual marketplace of ideas. But we don't, and really the only place the left is allowed to exist without facing the violence of the state is online, where it does far more harm to itself with endless infighting, purity spirals and factionism than to the system it opposes.
Is mining waste just rocks and dirt? Or is it chemicals?

tbh I don’t see a problem with dumping rocks and dirt in the ocean
My favorite is "your privacy is important to us" as the first sentence of a huge ToS that absolutely shreds your privacy. Of course privacy is important to them, it's how they make all their damn money. Don't worry, they won't expose your private data to the world. Just mine it and sell it to their buddies. As explained in as vague and general terms as legally defensible, as written by a whole team of lawyers.
In case anyone else saw the name and was wondering: yes, it is "RAD" as in RAD Game Tools, which was acquired by Epic a few years ago.
I'm building things that I find fun and interesting, not necessarily for profit. Of course, I have a revenue generator that I'm also keeping up. But mostly just fun these days. Currently that fun thing is building software synths from scratch, just starting from audio callback.
Does this require the paid FR acct?
There's some speculation involved, and a little hyperbole. Basically, if the gulf stream shuts down, Northern Europe will basically become virtually uninhabitable - not in the sense as in "nobody can live there", but more like "the population density supported will be more like Manitoba/Saskatchewan/Alberta or Mongolia/Kazakhstan". Scandinavia is the same latitude as Greenland and the UK/Germany/Poland is the same latitude as north/central Canada, after all. If the warming influence of the gulf stream disappears, expect the ports to freeze over (similar to the Hudson Bay) and the climate to become similar. It may be counteracted somewhat by general global warming - like the Northwest Passage may open up - but at best you should still expect climate more like Vladivostok or Juneau than present-day Europe.

AMOC/gulfstream shutdown is not a given, there is still scientific debate about it. But the scientific evidence is starting to pile up, along with evidence that circulation patterns are weakening right now. If you Google [amoc shutdown] you can read a quick overview.
It does make me wonder how a reviewer can truly review a CS paper without running the code.
Ah, I see, the real ChipMixer had a major flaw. I had no idea how the entire system operated, I used it just as an example to illustrate off-chain custody handovers. My "logically impossible" scenario was that the mixer has an array of addresses on the chain funded by previous customers, and when a new customer comes in it just runs a knapsack on that set and assigns them a subset of keys. Perhaps add a single layer of coinjoins to dilute each "really bad" incoming transaction, so clients won't directly get the bitcoins laundered by kidnappers and it's transparent to the whoever is doing the tracking that the coins have been laundered.

> why would having a private key to an output address that no one else has touched be an evidence to a crime?

An address is a hash over an ECDSA public key and a public key is a computational derivation of the random private key. If you have the private key, you can derive the associated address which is publicly connected on the blockchain to known proceeds of crime that have been laundered. That they were spent or not (by an another customer than the criminal) is irrelevant, it proves that you handled them.
I hired compiler engineers among others during my career at multiple companies in Silicon Valley. I usually managed to get extra compensation but not always. It's a small pool of developers. Eventually, we hired mostly in other countries.
The door plug was likely an assembly issue, not an engineering one. The problem with both is there's too much for a regulator to effectively oversee.
Not at all. On the contrary, what we can see in those distributed internet societies (internet as a whole is not a society, it's a medium) like e.g. Wikipedia, is that various forms of organized governance also emerge past a certain scale. There are extremely few places on the internet that are fully ungoverned.
Working on yourself / mental health is not working on nothing - it’s probably the most important, hardest and rewarding work you can do apart from recreational work.
Recreational work is all the work that is required for everything to function but that doesn’t produce anything- think of cooking, cleaning, childcare, elderly care etc. - you know all the work that traditionally is/was “women’s work”

I have come to value “productive work” much less than recreational. We have enough stuff already to last a dozen lifetimes.

Just think that the brightest minds of our generation are working on making people click more ads.
And then be thankful that you are not in the same boat and OK with not being productive at all.
I like working on (relatively) nothing. I quit working a few months ago and now I don't want to go back. I've spent these months reading books about everything, working out, playing with hobbies and relaxing. The experience has reinforced for me that I don't want kids, I don't need any "lasting" legacy or any greater career success, and I want to work only enough that I can avoid it as much as I can. I want to learn everything, but I don't want to be compelled to employ that knowledge for "success".
I promise you the person you're replying to can't provide a single number or statistic off the top of their head to back up their position.

It seems like such viewpoints are mostly mind-virus based; they simply saw lots of other people on HN/Reddit/Twitter say the same thing so it's now become "true" in their mind, and now they've become another cog in the machine blindly repeating the same thing, influencing other people, and spreading the virus onwards.
That's what I am reading as well. So instead of incels being woman haters, they were right all along? It is certainly having "They hated him, because he told them truth" vibes.
Another 737-800, not a good look for Boeing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98TQv5IAtY8
Military procurement in the US is already privatised in everything but name. The brass get a place at the top table in matters of national policy and critical event response, but procurement is essentially privatised, with an open door between senior military figures, politicians, senior contractors/consultants, and C-Suite.

Boeing is one the poster children for that. Costs would definitely be saved if there were more defence and aerospace bidders and engineering cultures, and Boeing couldn't rely on military pork to keeps its enshitified commercial arm in the air.

In fact if I were in some kind of gov procurement position I'd be looking very hard at the quality, costs, and reliability of Boeing's military projects right now.
I have fewer personal software projects going on than I used to (in fact, almost none), and these days I think I spend a lot of the time on unimportant busywork, under the excuse that "organising myself will free me up in the future, when something interesting comes around".

However I also recently quit social media (by this I don't count IRC, HN and the Fediverse as these are mostly text-based - okay to browse in my books), quit soft drinks, quit YouTube (almost, new videos come in through my subscriptions about once a day) and started reading (albeit very slowly) after a multi-year lapse. So it's not all bad.
What purpose are you browsing projects on github? Genuine question, as I've never done this.
The first Blade Runner was about a standard for personhood for men being defined as being able to cry tears when it’s raining.
Perhaps it should be something else - there should be an upper limit to the size of companies.

The problem is that successful companies converge towards regulatory capture to maintain their advantage - this includes buying up all competitors in order to maintain cartel/monopolistic market positioning. Look at Ma Bell. It was broken up. It slowly reconstituted its old self - albeit in a more competitive, less monopolistic landscape.

Boeing, like the too big too fail banks, like the airlines during Covid is already quasi-nationalized. Perhaps we should make that relationship explicit and demand divesture of business units in order to increase competition and transparency.

I think this is the sort of thing that developers really want, when they consider introducing a Domain Specific Language into their project: to take changes that, for either language-level or project-architecture reasons, currently have to be made, painfully, across N different parts of the code, ensuring they're all coherent with one-another and that none are missed; and to replace that with such changes requiring that only one piece of code be changed, where that code communicates the central spirit of the business constraint, from which all of the changes to disparate concerns in different modules, can then be derived.

But, of course, even more ideally, you can 1. choose a language and 2. architect your project in such a way, that you don't even need any DSLs in order to accomplish that. :)
