Healthcare should be universal and require almost no paperwork from the patient. Our current system is too bloated and either requires a job with good insurance or weeks/months of research into your options.

Agencies like the DEA should be abolished and possession/use of drugs should not equal prison time or anything on your record. Of course, things like driving impaired are still punished because you're endangering others.

College should not be expensive or put you into debt for decades. In the US, we need a general cultural shift away from hyper individualism and unregulated capitalism.
In Polish Y is pronounced "igrek" always when we talk about letter "y", but in words it is pronounced differently.

(just like in English "C" is pronounced differently than it normally in words, where it usually is the same as "k").

In one of the books I got on technology (early '00s?) there was an anecdote about a computer at a military facility crashing each night (probably in the 70s or 80s). They brought in a consultant to look at it and after an extended period of time looking for the problem in the code, the consultant was staying late in the data center wracking his brain over the problem.

At 10pm, a janitor came in, unplugged the computer, and plugged in his floor clearer, cleaned the floor, and then when done, unplugged the floor cleaner, and plugged the computer back in.

The consultant then suggested using the outlet on the other wall that had a free outlet (and got a 'difficult to unplug' cover for the outlet with the computer).

The next night he stayed late again and the janitor used the outlet on the other wall.

The consultant then told management that the problem had been solved and it was a buffer problem.
And words with y in it is the most cumbersome to explain to different people... the worst would be ycombinator... as I would have to repeat and say that "igrek" as for the english kind of "i" character.

> Diagnosing a patient is in many ways an expert system problem which computers are excellent at.

I'm admittedly not a doctor, but this doesn't really match my understanding at all–after my dad got sick a couple of years ago I developed a bit of a fascination with reading about the practice of medicine, which has largely changed my view from an engineer's perspective like this to one with much more nuance.

Diagnoses in general are not nearly as cut and dry as people would like to believe, and getting to them is not often as simple as being a function of X symptom and Y test result. Patients are often vague or simply not equipped to provide a perfect history, tests have ranges and associated error, as well as risks of their own, treatments have risks themselves that may interplay with myriad other life factors. In many situations there may not be a definitive diagnosis to be had at all.

From a user point of view Python packaging has probably never been better, but it is still a huge mess from anyone having to maintain these projects which might explain some of the dichotomy in the comments.

In my experience most of these packaging tools work fine for pure Python packages, it is when you try and bundle extensions in a cross-platform way that things get really messy. For better or worse I think third party package managers somewhat outside the Python ecosystem, i.e. conda + conda-forge, are the only tools that get this right.

That such a simple 2D game isn't able to reach 60fps under heavy system load just shows that the vanilla scheduler doesn't boost the process associated with the currently active window though?

Shouldn't this be standard on all 'desktop' operating systems, e.g. anything associated with the user gets higher priority than anything else happening on the system? Even the Amiga had such a priority-boosting system back in 1985 (otherwise multitasking wouldn't be of much use on such a slow computer, because pretty much any background task would make the UI unusable).
Rewriting something, or writing something new but with past experience always produces a better product. Some people still attribute that to using a new language or framework, or market their new product that way.

But the real driver is the rewrite, not the tools. In that case, what's interesting is the algorithm, not the language it was implemented in.

Reminds me of a famous YouTuber making videos about new tech. Every video starts with "a company based in <name of a country> announced..." or "researchers from <name of a country> found..." - This is annoying. Does the country matter? Do people ignore or mock inventions from countries they don't like, writing on HN that they should be reinvented in another country because other countries suck? Fortunately not. But when it comes to programming languages, they do. And this is equally ridiculous.

I think part of this connection reflects an universal (not just coincidental) equivalence: between intelligence, (logical) reasoning and planning. Finding a solution to a logical problem is perhaps similar to finding a path in a motion planning problem. You have to consider a number of paths going from A (premises, or in general your current state), to B (a desired proposition, or in general "something that is good/satisfies you"). You have to search a path (within a heuristic list of possible paths) or plan a path of consistent propositions that in the end prove what you want (although our notions of proof and consistency are usually relaxed for practical purposes: when I say "The window was left open, and we are in the winter, therefore the room will be cold", this is not a real proof in the Euclidean sense.

Cheers, read the paper 10+ years ago. Nothing new or interesting in that time. Very impressive restatements of old ideas introduced by other people in typical pseudo-academic Protocol Labs style. Protocol Labs is famous for reinventing wheels poorly. It's like they look at dated papers and say: 'what can we do to sell this basic shit as our own.' Then they end up with horrible versions of STUN, TURN, hole-punching, DHTs, torrenting, commit-reveal schemes, hash-locks, and other technologies (((that are already well-known and ah... exist?)))

You might be thinking that I'm making this up to troll. But the funny thing is so few people have any idea about this area of technology a company like Protocol Labs can get away with being completely insular, mediocre, unimaginative, impractical, and actually full of shit, and no one will notice. In fact, I'm routinely reminded what a 'visionary' the founder is. Despite nothing of value ever coming out of the company. But what I've learned is if enough people believe the lie it might as well be true.

Well you can invert the approach. So you:

1) Take a given ailment

2) Take all the symptoms that it produces

3) Choose some at random

4) Construct a synthetic patient case with those symptoms where you know exactly what the problem is

The Hindenburg is a largely misunderstood incident [1]. It was one of the safest airplane crashes of the century. As the balloon burned, flames and gasses vented upwards, keeping the cabin and passengers under the balloon safe. Moreover, the balloon descended slowly as the hydrogen was replaced by air. So slowly that most people got off once it was close to the ground. Out of 97 people only 35 died.

I had the battery in my ICE car freeze in lower temperatures, and become damaged and stop starting reliably. I had to get it replaced. the only way to keep the car from damage was to keep a block heater running (from AC power) the entire time or store it somewhere warm which not all people have the option of.

It's easy to think that "up north" means the problems EVs sometimes have with Minnesota, or Ontario.

Not necessarily. We recently had a customer from the Yukon region in Canada. That customer is farther north of Saint Paul, Minnesota, than Saint Paul is north of Dallas, TX.
Oh, look, it's another EV hit piece! From El Reg no less, who would have thought... Anyway: yes, extremely low temperatures do affect batteries badly, meaning you may not get to drive your car for very long for that particular reason a few days every year.

But, good news! EVs with 24/7 heat pumps keeping the batteries alive are a thing and work out pretty well in within-the-Arctic-circle locations such as Greenland, where previously "keep your diesel engine running at all times during winter to prevent the fuel from freezing" was the norm.

So, no, keeping the planet alive and getting to the Supermarket or your Job or your Dying Grandparents are not necessarily mutually exclusive, even in cold climates! Exclusions apply, not everyone may qualify for the technological advances mentioned, see dealer for details.

> In theory the Accept-Language header should be enough to get the behavior you want…

I don't think so. Accept-language doesn't allow you to differentiate between high quality and low quality content in the same language. With accept-language you could say that you prefer Italian or French over English where available, but that means you might also be served a crappy Italian/French machine translation on occasion, even though in that case you'd have preferred the English text.

(Microsoft for example seems to honour the accept-language header when looking at its documentation pages, but unfortunately that means that by default I get served the German page, which quite likely feels somewhat off due to having been machine-translated.)

> For production scenarios, other schedulers are likely to exhibit better performance, as offloading all scheduling decisions to user-space comes with a certain cost.

Aside from possibly increased scheduler latency, there’s the rather larger potential cost of outright deadlocks: what guarantees that the user scheduler task runs at all when it’s needed?

On 60 seconds of skimming the repo, I didn’t spot a specific solution to this problem. I wonder how it was addressed. Or maybe it wasn’t, since this is just an experiment.
An important first step. I am early in my practice and I fully expect medicine as I know it today to become unrecognizable within my lifetime. I am optimistic that it will be done carefully and will ultimately tremendously benefit our patients.

That being said, I had to laugh, this is one hyperbolic headline. There are of course some caveats.

"Few efforts to harness LLMs for medicine have explored whether the systems can emulate a physician’s ability to take a person’s medical history and use it to arrive at a diagnosis. Medical students spend a lot of time training to do just that, says Rodman. “It’s one of the most important and difficult skills to inculcate in physicians.”

This does take a lot of training and experience. The challenge in diagnosis isn't about asking a history and integrating the information, it's about effectively encouraging patients to provide necessary information that they might not realize is relevant or know how to articulate. Different patients often require wildly different approaches. Medical literacy does play a role, but a patient that would say, "Hi doctor, I experienced central chest pain accompanied by discomfort in the upper stomach that happened two hours ago" (from pg 33 of the preprint) is not realistic. More likely you get a vague complaint of "heartburn that started a while ago".

Similarly: "Currently, I'm not on any prescribed medications". More frequently you get something like "I take a blue one" or "Golly Telly" (Go-Lytely) or "Gabatini" (Gabapentin). I do think an LLM could probably parse these but such idiosyncrasies in a history do compound. And though someone may be prescribed a med and think they take it as prescribed, sometimes it takes a hunch and clinical experience to tease out that in fact the med is not being taken at all as indicated.

Moreover, the better bedside manner was assessed via text conversation. I wouldn't quite call that "bedside" manner. I also wonder how such a system will deal with patients that have self-diagnosed themselves and looked up the "right answers" to get what they want -- a difficult reality that takes some parsing to figure out what's real and what's not.

Overall though, the preprint, in contrast to the Nature news article/headline, does a better job of discussing these limitations. I congratulate them on excellent work. Thank god LLMs can't do surgery, though I'm sure my time will come as well.
It used to be the case - before .NET 6 there was only hill climbing so poorly written blocking code could starve threadpool very quickly (for + Task.Run + Thread.Sleep and the like), but since 6 blocking threads in such a way makes threadpool inject more threads without going through hill climbing mitigating the impact much more effectively. This does not mean such code should not be fixed however :)
> I've had doctors that I'd easily categorize as worse than AI... worn out, overworked, frustrated, rushed. I don't think this is too surprising, computers are better at driving cars most of the time too... but the biggest problem is they're better until they're not, and without general intelligence humans need to cover the gaps. AI can be very dangerous without this gap coverage.

This is a hand-wavy doomer argument. This is why we have trials and statistics - if constructed properly those should produce a quality answer to the question of using such systems. If on average it gives the same or better results than an average human doctor then it is good to go.
Assuming this will be used as FUD on EVs. But the gasoline freezes at -45C, too. Diesel does at -18C. Just saying.

But I've been building keebs for a few years now, and I gotta cut back :-P The biggest issue is it takes forever to print a shell to 'test fit' it. It would actually be cool if you could print the shells upside down so you don't have to print the whole thing to see how it feels.
