There is an app for assistance in skin cancer detection (SkinIO) but of course it’s more limited by the cellphone’s camera vs. the device in the OP. I can see both approaches co-existing, especially as SkinIO’s database expands and mobile phone cameras and AI improve. But it would be great to have the professional device become cheap and small enough that it can be a phone accessory, or perhaps phones can pack more sensors if it somehow makes sense (ie if they can augment phone functionality in other ways).
Since you’re arguing from a very dishonest place and intentionally misrepresenting what I said, I really shouldn’t bother engaging with you, but:

Despite his later religious appeals, Girard’s original argument is more anthropological with regard to the emergence of various monotheistic traditions. Archaic virtues and religions were about hiding the nature of sacrilized violence, specifically the fact that the victim/scapegoat had no real power to dispel whatever crisis predicated their victimization. This becomes fully exposed for the first time in the Christian mythos, but had orthodox and heterodox precedents in almost every world religion,and especially Judaism, as Girard’s work itself engages with. Overtime, the effect of this mythos is to undermine the efficacy of sacrificial logics, such that we now, in modern society, more often than not, identify with the victims vs. the victimizers. This is a complete inversion of the archaic social order, as Nietzsche railed against in his notion of Dionysus vs. the Crucified. The impact of the Christian mythos obviously also extends into other world religions (e.g. Islam and its two billion adherents, where the Christ figure also holds special status) as well as into various secular moral philosophies that derive their origins from Abrahamic traditions.

But then how do they end up with the subscriptions in the first place?

I know I don’t have the time for the high transactional overhead of most subscriptions. As such, I don’t subscribe to anything beyond insurance and internet service.

Would it be nice to have other subscriptions? Sure, probably, but the (time) cost is more than I’m willing to bear.

First off it looks like they identified 15M tonnes of lithium hosting rock (pegmatite) which has a grade of 0.4% of lithium in the form of spodumene (which then needs ot be processed to extract the lithium out of).

But in general, how it works is they drill a bunch of holes in the ground and analyse the cores. From that that interpolate the size/shape of the ore body and calculate an estimate of size.

The more holes they drill the greater the confidence.

That “someone” who made the fix for Proximity is Mike Welsh, who created Ruffle! He has done a lot of work for flash preservation and truly cares about Newgrounds and it’s community.

They’re less than electric equivalents because the battery is substantially smaller, and batteries are essentially the biggest cost in an EV. Assembled pack pricing is still around $100-120/kWh and even smaller batteries are like 65kWh. Most cars are closer to 70-80. For a PHEV, the largest battery is a lot closer to 10kWh.
How many people act like they know this?

Given how many people are willing to burn themselves out because of their job I’m going to guess not too many.
If the technology and infrastructure stays the same as it is now, the problem will never get fixed.

Yet, every year there are more charging stations, and the battery tech gets getting better, so I don't see stagnation winning out here.

Nothing sells itself. It's a painful lesson to learn. But one of the most valuable.
Booking directly also gives you more opportunities to rack up points: once with the airline and once with your credit card. Depending on the card/airline you can then pool points by transferring from the card to airline or book free tickets/stays through the card provider.

At a very pop sci-fi level, think of writing down the biggest rational number that you can. As many 9s. Eventually, you'll run out of space in the universe to store 9s.

In a computer, this text is stored in binary format. That's a base2 number. Arbitrary concepts can be encoded into a form that can then be represented and worked with by mathematical operations.

If you want to get really cafe philosophical about it, the universe can be broken down into its smallest elements, quantified, and represented by numerical values. And thus the universe is a number. Of course, there's all sort of "gotchas" and "whatifs" and this is a wildly over-simplified version.

No, no, no - if they could have pinned it fully on China, it would have been 24x7 on the news.

But the big problem was that funding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology came from the good old U.S. - from Dr Fauci-sponsored EcoHealth alliance. NIH awarded EcoHealth Alliance - who were contracted with the Wuhan Institute of Virology - three grants between 2014-2020 to especially study bat coronaviruses.

So, the original idea was to fully cover up the US sponsorship and there was a LOT of hush up and be silent around the matter. The U.S. does not want to be held responsible after all.

u/hnlmorg edited one of their comments in this chain I recognise right now.

This is super interesting. I've been visiting HN every day, multiple times a day for the past year. Over the last month, as I was preparing for interviews I removed the HN bookmark on my browser tab, and almost for weeks in between interviews I would go without checking it.

And honestly I think I was healthier, and happier. Reading, and bookmarking things on HN overflowed my brain with information, and created more anxiety in me I think. Just visiting back to see what I missed after not checking it the past week, and I was better off without it I feel.

Personal responsibility only works if parties are roughly equal in terms if power. This is not the case in corporation-consumer relationships. Corporations can employ hundreds or thousands of people whose sole goal is to employ the forefront of scientific psychological knowledge to design dark patterns to make end users not cancel their subscriptions.

I hope you wouldn't ask a person who gets harassed by their boss to take personal responsibility, and such a relationship is a lot less asymmetric in terms of power balance than corporation-consumer relationships are.

> … hold [USD] for free as opposed to the fees my bank would charge and I don't get hit with conversion fees on every deposit.

Note that, in the U.S. and Canada, Wise accounts aren’t traditional bank accounts but “transfer” [1] accounts, and aren’t really built for holding money. Senders can do chargebacks, for example.

https://wise.com/ca/legal/terms-of-use

[1] I made up the term “transfer”. I’m sure there’s a correct name for these accounts.

Unless they are closely supervising the anonymization, then it is just for show. There are so many “anonymization” methods that make it trivial to de-anonymize data.
> That requires 1500 hours of experience.

That seems awfully low, can you get to be a commercial airline pilot with those hours?

In the boat world, getting the entry level commercial license (OUPV) would take a minimum of 1440 hours on the water (it's measured in days, not hours, so would usually be more). And all you can do with that is transport 6 people or less.

So it sounds wild that with essentially the same number of practice hours you could be piloting an airliner with lots of people!
The next step should be to transform "unethical" into "illegal", except enormous business entities rely on subscription revenue.

Otherwise it's a very well know effect. There will be unsubscription peaks every time the service communicates with thei customers, even purely informative stuff like "we now have a dark mode" emails will remind people they've a subscription and some will cancel, that's part of the business and something that affects communication frequency in subtle and obvious ways.

Somewhat related, there is ongoing work on an integrated (in vector registers) matrix extension for RISC-V: https://github.com/riscv-admin/integrated-matrix-extension/b...

They are currently discussing the data layout, as the extension should be vector length agnostic, just like the vector extension:

Option A: One matrix per vector registers.

Option B: One matrix in multiple vector registers.

Option C: Multiple matrices in one vector register.

Option D: Streaming buffers for the input matrices.

Option E: Variable matrix representation.

My favorite of the proposals so far, is to use the vector registers as the accumulator and add a small ammount of new state for the source operands (Option D): https://github.com/riscv-admin/vector/blob/main/minutes/2023...

I heard an interview from Wise where they just talked about all the random things they did to just drive down costs. They know people care mostly about speed and cost, so they focus there. It seems to not really be 1 thing, but a million small optimizations.
I honestly feel cheated by intel with my 13th gen cpu.
They took away avx512, even though the P cores are capable of it, but also did not ship AMX with it.

I'm honestly more interested in Apple's AMX "co-processor", in my tests it often beats the GPU in ML tasks with smaller batch sizes.
It's really cool. I hope it becomes more common for training/inference/numerics capable accelerators to be included in consumer hardware.

Apple's AMX is really under-documented, while the instructions were reverse engineered, Virtually no benchmarks are available comparing current chip generations, models and variants.

I respect what you're saying here and I mostly agree. I still think there's an opportunity to push back on some of what I think is abusive and exploitative technology. I'm gonna stay mad about it. I do think it's theft in a way that using reference in art isn't and I hope we normalize making it unacceptable to automate the artistic process. That doesn't have to mean it's legally theft.
> There's an extent to which I think this is reasonable. If I'm accused of fraud based on evidence recovered from a bank computer, it should not be the case that I can require the prosecution to prove that the bank's computers function correctly, and the evidence be thrown out in case the prosecution are unable to do so.

So a poor individual with no resources should find experts to analyze a software he doesn't even have access to (I know, discovery, but the practical limitations often make it near impossible to find the error within a given time, like having the access only in an isolated room without the internet or your own software, or having an access only to printed source code on paper), rather than the prosecutor (the state) or the company that definitely have the resources?

Obviously almost no one would go to jail then. But this would be because of a very low coding standard. You pretty much can't prove the validity of software, because somewhere around 99,99% just isn't coded in a language and regime that would guarantee being bug-free.

Check out the video by Veritasium "The Universe is Hostile to Computers" [1] - how much software, do you think, has internal error correction implemented to deal with a possible cosmic ray flipping a bit?

The solution is to have extensive logs of data, stored by independent actors, with a lot of redundancy or otherwise error detection and correction. I find it horrifying that someone as well versed in law as you is fine with putting the burden of proof on the defendant, because it would be impractical to force programmers of serious software with serious consequences to actually employ serious standards of work...

Would this really be considered greed ?

I think the survey mostly says that people think they will be able to afford food and shelter. I don’t think this is greed in the same sense.

This is true, but only if you’re not paying your full statement balance each month.

If you’re paying your full statement balance then you can wait all the way until the due date since you’ve never accrued any interest in the first place.
Still, it seems to be the custom.
I strongly disagree, I have media subscriptions right now that I won't sign into for a month or even multiple months but I don't intend on giving it up. This is especially true for niche streaming content where production costs aren't exactly cheap but their niche nature means not everyone is consistently in the mood for that content.
