Having worked in medical software for a long time now, it's not surprising.

Medical software is purchased by upper management based on features. Usability is rarely considered, and hard to evaluate anyway since it depends on integration.

Hospitals themselves create this incentive because they will rarely if ever change their processes to fit more smoothly into a different workflow. The core purpose of an EMR is to integrate different parts of the hospital, though, so the only possible solution is a huge do-everything piece of software like Epic.

I spent years on a project to try to standardize exams between a major research hospital and its satellites. The ended up quitting about half-way through because they realized there just wasn't going to be enough political power at the main campus to convince the doctors at the satellites to follow their lead.

You'll even see this at smaller regional hospitals. We'll bring software and workflows developed in tandem with the top hospitals in the world, and they'll tell us that they don't care and they want to keep doing things the way they've always done them.

Everyone may hate EMR, but hospitals seem to be getting exactly the EMR they're asking for.
You've completely missed my point, and your zero sum game comment is a tangent.

I'm pointing out how the farmer isn't getting a cut.

Another way of saying what you just did is the value to the finance company's buy is going straight to JD, and not to the farmer.

And that data is powering a massive commodities trading industry, with value at orders of magnitude ever higher than a farmer could hope to earn, even though the value is only, and fully, sourced from their work.

And the point is I doubt JD is bothering to consider or tell the farmer they could get a cut of the data from their own fields powering that value. When farmers and ranchers are losing their multi-generational livelihoods largely driven by other impacts from a digital world, it's a gross practice by JD, considering the farmer's work plays a key role in it.

Edit - I'm not going to veer into a back-and-forth on this, but I encourage you to ask a JD product manager about a farmer getting a data-sales cut, or maybe even try to force that across the company from your relative position, and see how that plays out.
Not correct. Already in the very beginning Putin demonstrated his genocidal intent by declaring that Ukrainian nation does not exist.

Mussolini didn't set the goal to destroy Ethiopian nation(s).

Does it make Putin Hitler? I don't know, I see him more like some neo-Hitler/Stalin hybrid with touch of mysticism as flavor - he is a new thing.

If you want to get a more systematic argumentation then I'll refer you to prof. Timothy Snyder https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-war-in-ukraine-and-the-que...

I'll recommend author to reconsider this opinion.
In this case, I don't think the issue is due to filesystem performance. Someone from Ubicloud can correct me, but my understanding is that for custom runners Github still stores the cache on their side. So Ubicloud (in Europe) needs to transfer the cache from Github (in the US) on every run.
I don't understand worrying about falling birthrates.

There are 8 billion of us. I think it's a little premature to be worrying about the extinction of homo sapiens. Something tells me when we're not all working 40+ hours a week scrabbling for the same 20% of the resources, just maybe our birth rate will sort itself out.
>How do you know that no one can measure ?

Because they haven't. Again, every study on this issue hasn't shown a drop in productivity.

>Maybe all the big companies have measured and all concluded that on average WFH is less productive.

And yet curiously neither the companies themselves nor any outside actor has been able to produce any of those measurements supporting such conclusion after years of trying.

I guess every company, government agency, and private entity in the world are all colluding to hide the evidence of lower WFH productivity despite desperately, desperately wanting to show that that's the case to support their RTO demands. Who can stop this nefarious conspiracy?
This could have a significant downward impact on bitcoin's market price. I imagine they will be sold fairly quickly.
Do you know they don't? Otherwise I would assume they have dumb incentives like that. In my previous company the legal team measured the number of "takedowns" of countefeit merch etc. as a key number. I assume this helped to hurt their effort to prevent counterfeit in the first place.
If I'm an executive at Meta, I'm not sure whether I should be happy or sad reading this review.

By all accounts, Apple is at least 5 years ahead of Meta in terms of hardware. With all of Apple's compute/display tech, and at 8-9x the price point of Quest, it still seems like the Vision Pro falls short of delivering the breakthrough experience needed to make AR/VR mass market.

Not to mention that it still doesn't seem like AVP answers the "killer app" question that Meta has been trying to answer. If the value prop at this point is "a big virtual screen", I guess their work over the next few years will be getting the price point down to a level where consumers buy this over a monitor?
They can always buy from Ag Leader or Trimbal - two competitors I can name without looking, I know there are a few more, but I'd have to look them up.
We've been running Ubicloud for a while at Resmo. It is indeed 10x cheaper. We upped our instance sizes by 2x for a slightly more performance but it's still 5x cheaper.

The main reason is their platform is hosted on Hetzner dedicated instances.
Product management is tricky because the skills PM applicants are evaluated for are not necessarily the skills that make a good product manager. But I think this supports your point. Where it's hard to judge performance, actual talent will vary.
Alternatively, we just don't worry about it.

We are a planet trying to find the resources for eight billion human beings and we already know the backbone of our global agriculture solution is an unsustainable fossil-fuel-based phosphate cycle.

People choosing to not have replacement-number of children is one of the more humane ways to balance the cold equations for subsequent generations.
No, it requires only one thing: turn on persistent SSH connections. This means that new SSH connections to the same server do not actually require opening a new TCP connection, do not require negotiating new session keys, and do not require additional authentication. To turn this on, add these settings to your ~/.ssh/config file:

ControlMaster auto
ControlPersist yes
ControlPath ~/.ssh/control/%C

You should also use key–based authentication so that TRAMP never has to ask for a password, but this is less important once you are using persistent connections. Add something like this to your ssh config:

Host orod-na-thon
Hostname 192.168.2.133
User db48x
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_your_private_key

Now go to Emacs and open up /ssh:orod-na-thon:~/.ssh/authorized_keys. This is the TRAMP path for your authorized_keys file on the machine named orod-na-thon. It will ask you for your password. Paste in your public key (which you can get by opening up the .pub file that goes alongside the private key in ~/ssh), and save it. Now future connections to orod-na-thon will be able to authenticate automatically using this key pair, and there will be no password prompt when you open a file there.

> When you survey high achieving people in the world, or in your wikipedia history, do you mostly find people who got there because of the opportunities their parents paid for?

When you look into the backgrounds of the people whose names live on as the units we use to describe and measure physical qualities I think you'll find most had a pretty good early educational foundation and financial support from family or a patron.

There's the Curie's being a prominent example.

You can find other examples of Scientists/Mathematicians having remarkable siblings as well. However in the past the female siblings, while respected by their bother(s), weren't always given the same opportunities to persue intellectual ambitions as their male counterparts were.
That doesn't mean it is bad. I know Clippy got a lot of things wrong in implementation but the concept is still there and AI might be the bridge that makes it a reality. I am not ready to dismiss glorified Clippy as bad yet.

I do think companies are bringing AI products to market a little too soon though. A nice AI summary of my fantasy sports matchup is great. Ordering things things that it is likely to get wrong, probably not the use case yet.
The OpenAI subreddit is the epitome of this.

For months people posting that GPT4 is not performing well, its short in its responses and the change to 'one chat to rule them all' where it will generate images and search Bing was a marked downgrade. These are all met with 'unsubscribe', 'you suck at prompting', 'git gud' type comments.

Turns out it was actually under performing - according to OpenAI itself, they addressed it in their January update.

I posted about how having only one custom prompt was kind of pathetic after a year. Several OSS tools have the same UI and multiple prompts. https://github.com/mckaywrigley/chatbot-ui as an example. Of course this was met with excuses and workarounds.
I'd really like to see a human try to tear raw flesh off an animal with their canines. I am highly skeptical that would work at all.
I have a hard time with this advice. Is it for teens?

My daughter has severe ADHD and is a disaster without medication. One of her current doctors asked which parent has similar traits, and my wife says it is me. My daughter's academic and behavioral track record is shamefully like mine.

So I've been to two psychologists and my GP, and all three say that ADHD doesn't exist in adults, it's something kids grow out of.
> Also they over-hired in the pandemic and need people to leave because their attrition numbers were too low for 2022 and 2023.

That's the real reason. Making people quit is cheaper than layoffs.
I don't personally care lol
> The government can do anything that is legal.

That's true, but the federal government has a limited number of things it can do, as specified in our memorandum of understanding between the people of the united states and the federal government. That ought to be the framing under which all federal actions are seen.

To put it another way, for individuals, unless something is illegal, you are entitled to do it. Whereas for the federal government, everything is illegal except that which was made legal.
Sounds it.

However "many" is vague to the point of being useless. A hundred is many. And definitionally, there aren't good direct stats for how many illegal migrants there are, nor how they break down by how they got where they are now, only indirect proxies.

What you can do is work backwards from the pay and conditions of those workers to make an educated guess about how much their bosses feel they need to keep their workers sweet. If it's more than the prisons pay, then no matter what else, the workers do in fact have more options than literal prisoners.

Also, if they really do face death, theoretically there's this thing called "asylum" — though I assume political fights over that are at least as dumb in the US as in the UK.
This applies to every company, without exception.

Even at the best run companies, if the financial situation changes, you'll be gone through no fault of your own.

People that get emotionally and psychologically invested in someone else's company do themselves a disservice, typically only learned the hard way.
Problem is use of the word like "Typically ...".

Start there.
As a tech nerd, the gadgets are why I started farming. I'd definitely be poorer (in the enjoyment of life sense) without them.
> Every few years I use Anki heavily for language stuff (German, more recently Latin and Classical Chinese), up to 90 minutes a day, but I can never keep the workload under control, or my habits change, and give it up.

This is a problem, but perhaps not the one you think. The goal here is the habit; how much you get through is way secondary. As a multi-year user of Anki, I'd recommend working on the daily habit as an addition to whatever German, etc. you're already doing.

Anki has easy ways to limit your use; set your max-card-per-day to something silly like 5. You can do 5 cards a day, yeah? That'd take less than a minute, typically.

Once you're ok with that, up it a bit. Don't make this the SOLE vector of practice, use it as an adjunct to your normal routine of learning.

A habit done suboptimally is >>>> missing doing it, but perfectly. Frequency is generally better than quality. Once you get the former, ratchet up the latter.
Yeah, if fakes are already out there. What value does the real thing have?

Tmux supports 24-bit color. I bit the bullet and switched a few years ago, and my muscle memory remains exactly the same. I'm incredibly happy with the power, flexibility, configurability, and reliability of Tmux.

This doesn't seem like a major problem. If anything it's direct, and a professional should be able to recognize that Linus effing Torvalds has tone problems when it comes to this subject.
Are you aware of services like https://www.usertesting.com/ and https://www.userinterviews.com/ that help connect you to research participants?
Thanks for sharing! I've been looking at the repository and noticed that some jobs are still running on Github hosted runners. What is the point of using them and not running everything on Ubicloud?
Why not just install Kitty’s terminfo file on the remote server? This is quick and easy to do, and only needs to be done once.

Well yeah. When they're financially tied to the technology and culture, they have no choice but to become a cult to make as much money as possible.

If someone makes an important point or counter-argument, the cult-investor ignores the evil comment and instead preaches positivity, in hopes that toxic-positivity drowns out any bad news and makes their investments go up.
That is correct. We went live with them about a week ago. Will likely introduce it to the HN friends in the next couple of days.

I agree with the stuff you've mentioned, obviously, but also empathize a bit with the GitHub folks because of all the licences and limitations Mac runners come with.

The perf for comparable operations is squarely on them though.
We don't know what else they covered up.

They just got caught this time.
> For years, colleagues have described him with a mix of admiration and fear, commonly referring to him as “Crazy Ken” and telling stories about his tirades at work. Talk to people who knew him in his Sony days, and they’ll often describe him as “moody,” “stubborn” and an “extreme micromanager.” And nearly everyone who worked closely with him in those days seems to have stories of his abrasive approach.

I wonder if he had a bipolar disorder? 'Moody' is a common euphemism for the mood cycling and instability, as is the stylized entrepreneur pattern of "extremely hard working, intelligent polarizing visionary figure who repeatedly made huge risky bets which paid off - until they didn't" (PS3 in this case). And it is usually covered up publicly until long afterwards (particularly in Japan, where mental illness of any sort remains extremely stigmatized).
Ask HN: Where to find an accountant familiar with 83B) and its tax implications
I am in search of an accountant well-versed in the 83(b) election and its associated tax implications. Unfortunately, the accounting professionals in my area predominantly specialize in conventional accounting for small businesses or individuals. Where can I find a professional with expertise in this specific area?
If it is illegal to sell then ostensibly the government cannot legally purchase it.
Currently:

Something stir fry like. Mushrooms, onions, peppers; maybe kidney beans; tomatoes; feta or halloumi cheese; egg noodles or bean sprouts. Add sweet+sour or black bean sauce.

I used to also do a tomato based stew: tinned tomatoes; mushrooms, onions, peppers, kidney beans, sweetcorn, broccoli or cauliflower; herbs. But I went off it when I first caught covid and I haven’t replaced it yet :(
There is value in demonstrating anger. It makes it clear that the person has crossed a line beyond "Made an understandable mistake." and entered the "Doing things which are beyond what is tolerated in this space."

And in this case, where the person has deliberately, repeatedly, tried to use code they don't understand, it makes it clear that they need to either learn enough to be sensible on the topic, or go away and not come back.
We allow my son to be online via his computers. He has a Macbook and a desktop PC. He's on Discord and a Slack. He can iMessage friends via his Macbook.

The thing about a phone is that there's a data plan and it's out of your sight a lot. But to be fair, my son is mostly fine with sticking to these channels for talking to friends. So, it is particular to the kid.

It doesn't hurt that we live in a tight nit community where he can walk to friends' houses, school, etc.

My daughter is younger and probably will want to get a phone more than he does, when she is old enough.
Great story, are you claiming that NSA can infer from zero-knowledge proofs inputs, maybe map cryptographic hashes to plain input text or something of that nature?
I may have outdated infor, but last time I checked on X11 apps while they could be DPI-aware, they don't handle mismatched DPI well - I had to choose between everything being small on my 4k screen or everything is blurry on my 1440p screen.

I've hard-coded some DPI settings for certain apps that I always display on the same monitor.

Meanwhile, I have zero issues with the same pair of monitors on Windows and macOS. I daily drive all 3 of them.
The new Anki FSRS algo lessens this punishment significantly.

People focus way too much on the backlog - don't even look at it, just set your max cards per day to something you can actually DO and let Anki schedule them out as best it can.

It is, after all, just a scheduler.
Meh, there was never anything wrong with them. Immobilizers (or the lack thereof) have been on windows stickers as long as they've existed. Hyundai/Kia simply realized that their buyers DGAF about an immobilizer as much as they cared about being slightly cheaper than cars from other brands. And they were right, the cars sold well.
At what point does it become feasible to just manufacture sand? I know it is possible but how much more expensive must sand get before we just convert quartz mountains into sand? The article's quoted "50 billion metric tons" of needed sand isn't all that much when compared to the weight of actual mountains.
Investigations should happen blameless, behind closed doors, not with stuff being spread all over the internet and armchair experts negatively impacting the investigation with completely unfounded speculations.

That's at least the way aeronautic and European railway investigations happen, and for good reasons - you don't want people holding back evidence for fear of repercussions.
I think lots of us find Facebook boring and aren’t addicted to it, but have an account. It isn’t at all hard to believe that you find it boring and don’t have an account. Most people don’t have Facebook accounts.
"There should be no work release,"

I would say that about half of the people in county who had a job and didn't lose it get work release. That's not specific to DUI.

My main point is he provided fake documents about landscaping. That should have been reported.

"If you voluntarily risk the lives of others on the road, you give up 5 years of your own life if you're caught. I think that's exceedingly fair."

I think the system most states have in place is fair today - usually one diversionary program with probation, fine/costs, interlock, etc if nobody was hurt and there was no property damage. Penalty tiers based on BAC level. Progressive sentencing based on details like not your first time, someone got hurt, property damage, etc.

Plenty of things depend on the outcome for the severity of the punishment. I do think that is fair to increase penalties based on the circumstances and results. What we really need is better education. Although stricter penalties or education aren't going to help people like the guy you say thinks his life is unfair. Perhaps rehab as his attitude sounds like an alcoholic.

If those 12,000 jobs aren't generating profit, then there isn't a reason to keep them. But how do you cut that many jobs without also negatively affecting your ability to generate revenue? It seems very odd that a relatively minor downturn in year-over-year business could make that many positions extraneous so quickly. There must be another relevant factor, that is going unsaid.
In other places it's free though. Well, parents are taxed for the universal healthcare but they're not taxed extra for their kids.

I remember at least 3 hospital visits while I was a kid. One because I managed to get something in my eye that didn't go out without specialized equipment, one because a scratch infected and had to be cleaned surgically, and one because i fissured? (don't know the english term, not completely broken) my middle finger. All fixes free ofc.

Incidentally I spent a month during summer with my middle finger up in a cast. I was too young to fully take advantage of it though.
"non-profit" is a tax status, that's all
I work for a Deere competitor. We have a closed-loop system where we implement our tech in the cab, the farmer (securely) uploads their planting information to us in real-time, and we advise on yield management. As in - ways for them to make more money and use less chemicals and water during the growing season. It doesn't go to Wall Street or anyone else.

We also benefit because that data goes back to the seed scientists and advises on which hybrids work in which environment and which do not.

We use LTE and Wifi to get this data home but having Starlink in the cab is a nice idea. Especially in parts of the world (you mean there are farms outside the US?) where connectivity is minimal. Everyone here bitching about the right-to-repair issue, right or wrong, misunderstood the press release.
You think only kids in the West are susceptible to shame?
