I don't think there is such a thing as an actually independent hospital anywhere. In most countries, the medical system seems to be a government monopoly. In America, it is an oligopoly that egregiously violates the anti-trust laws and whose real customers are the government and the health insurance companies.

The entire industry seems like a politically connected bureaucratic nightmare of one kind or another in every country on earth. Solving that problem would require some way to allow doctors to become genuinely independent again[0] and to ensure that patients could choose their doctor. If doctors were genuinely independent, they would choose the best medical records software and that software would be able to open up files from competitors[1].

[0]: The main American blocker to this would be something called malpractice insurance which is extremely unaffordable and necessary to protect doctors from being bankrupted by lawsuits whenever they make a mistake. Hospitals can afford that insurance much more easily than independent doctors so they can basically buy up all the doctors. I suspect that an affordable public option for this insurance would help restore a competitive free market in medicine.

[1]: I've heard first-hand from family members that the file formats for the different medical records software are incompatible. They convert medical records by actually typing the information from the other hospital's system into their system.
It seems strange and unlikely that human beings should have access to an abstract language that “nature speaks”, as Dyson puts it.

“Here you are, a speck of thinking matter. Oh and by the way you just so happen to have a special capacity for mathematics, the secret language of the universe.”

Convenient, isn’t it?
tl;dr "Trust me bro"
The thing that really made the difference for us was the traction we got through the original launch HN post.
This is a very in-depth, informative and factual review. My hats off to the Verge; great job.

I have racked up hours upon hours of actual, productive work in my Quest 2 and 3, so to say that I am a big proponent of the ideas that Apple is trying to advance would be an understatement. This makes me all the more disheartened to read that, for all their efforts, this release is mired by the same drawbacks that I have encountered across numerous headsets over the last decade:

> [..] there’s a little bit of distortion and vignetting around the edges of the lenses, and you’ll see some green and pink color fringing at the edges as well, especially in bright environments. [..] If you’re looking at something bright or otherwise high contrast [..] you’ll see highlights reflecting in the lenses.

Prior to this review, I was actually willing to understand certain seemingly odd decisions, such as the concept of putting an OLED display on the outside, the potential for weight distribution issues, and an external battery, as I was hopeful that, similar to the iPhone, there'd be a cohesive whole in the end that wasn't fully understandable until reviewers got to use it.

I also was, somewhat naive, I admit that, under the impression that their handling of vignetting, etc. would be less noticable then what seems to be the case and, again naively following their marketing videos, had higher FOV expectations.

To draw a parallel, the initial iPhone made some major tradeoffs and at the time odd choices, to say the least, many of which were laughed at for arguably justifiable reasons at the time, but I could see something in that that went beyond then-available touch-only smartphones and PDAs in terms of usability and cohesiveness.

I fail to see the same in this review. Neither as an actual user nor as an enthusiast, do I see anything here that has not been done before. While your then-PDA may have supported 3G and came with many other capabilities the first iPhone lacked, there were certain things in regard to build, design, usability and intuitiveness that were unparalleled in the products at the time. Comparing an iPhone and an iPAQ Pocket PC made the latter seem ancient, even though it could do a lot the iPhone couldn't. Compare a Vision Pro to a Quest 3, I am saddened to say I don't see the same.
So, looks like the "problem" is that by 2080 we'll be back to the same global population we have now? Perhaps that's good news, we'll have to learn how to live sustainably instead of basing everything on constant growth.

Also, global surface temperature will probably be around 2°C higher, sea levels will have risen maybe a metre, and we'll have been really lucky if large portions of the planet aren't a nuclear wasteland by then. At least we won't have to worry about overpopulation!
I love user interviews, best part of the day
Part of the problem is that every provider organization wants to have their own unique forms and workflow; there is a lot of "not invented here" syndrome and everyone falsely believes that their institution is special. This forces a lot of customization in the EHRs and actually makes the UX worse. If providers nationwide could get together and agree on standardized forms and workflow (at least within practice specialties) then it would become a lot easier to build good EHR software.
Good points for sure. VR gaming has always had an edge because if you value physical immersion (the feeling of being in the game) then it DOES have a significant leg up over traditional gaming.

Can the same be said for productivity and general computing yet? I don’t think so. Will I prefer a Vision Pro over 2 4K monitors? Highly unlikely. Will I grab my Vision Pro as I head out the door, rather than my laptop? No.

There are some fundamental technology problems that need solving before that becomes a reality. Size and weight need an order of magnitude reduction, and the pass through has to be better which will require advancements in dark scene video processing.

Realistically speaking, if AR does “take off” as a productivity and general computing tool I don’t see it happening for another 7-15 years.
Being a renter has afforded me many memorably terrible experiences. For example, having no heat for multiple days in the middle of winter with sub-zero temperatures because the management company didn't have their act together. I'll be damned if I ever rent again regardless of financial incentives.
Elevating work place performance like this causes alarms to go off in my head. On the other side of the coin, some people interpret work life balance and boundaries as lack of dedication. I mean, who is this article written for?
I'm not sure why this gets flagged, because it's very interesting and concerns all of us.

I think it's great, in my mind, there's too many people on the planet already, and we're stressing the biospehere near the breaking point in multiple ways.

9-10 billion people is plenty. This news is a welcome bit of good news in an otherwise scary future.

You can't just build your own EMR and call it a day, unless you are very selective of your patients.

Accepting Medicaid and, if memory serves, Medicare requires using a certified EHR/EMR system, and getting that certification is both time consuming and expensive.

You aren't just fighting the healthcare industry, but also well-intentioned government regulations.
This isn't really happening, the closest I can find is the controversial topic of drag shows in public or banning kids from drag shows.

AFAIK there is no real legislation banning a trans person in public.

That's interesting. We have also seen that learners usually fall into one of two camps: 1) They know exactly what they want to learn. 2) They want to be guided and handed the next "lesson" after they completed the first.

You definitely fall into camp 1

This is a very naive assertion. Providing homes reduces homelessness but many un-housed individuals will not accept the housing for a number of reasons to include mental illness or the stipulations required by the housing authority.
Am I the only one seeing the intricate relationship between population growth and the housing market?
When the population grows, the housing price increases, and at some point it becomes too difficult for young couples to have extra rooms to raise kids (many still live with their parents).
When the population decreases or collapses, the housing market crashes, and then, one or two generations later, the population increases again.
The thing is that we've been accustomed to a quick and unprecedented population growth since the end of WW2, and the housing market of big cities are reaching its limits all over the world.
My take is that it won't be a problem, au contraire, the population will stabilize around 10B, and this is a good thing on many dimensions. Think about it.
Any idea where one can get a "clean" copy of either the .tex or .pdf of this?
I’ll dispense with the 18 cents vs. 0.18 cents lecture.

Work stoppages can and have occurred, but the CO’s had sufficient expertise, staffing, and paid overtime to prevent anything newsworthy from happening. Generally unfair treatment or conditions were the cause of stoppages, none of which occurred during my tenure.

Collective punishments for evidence of smuggled contraband (which was ubiquitous) were more common.

Numerous jails I did time in transit (appx. 7 over 100 days) had worse conditions than the FPC I did the majority of my time in.

The problem with Shawshank as applied to the modern day is that the newsman Andy sent the warden’s financials to no longer exists to receive it. There is no independent investigative media in the U.S. anymore and the likely outcome of the movie, set today, would have been the warden continuing to commit his atrocities, unencumbered by public scrutiny.

I think a screenplay and movie will be the vehicle I tell this story with. Print isn’t exactly dead but movies are a more effective vehicle for change in this day and age.
Agreed, it's curious the article never mentions sustainability or benefits of not having uncontrolled population growth, but uses negative language for the trend (collapse, doom, disappearing..)
No disrespect, but that's an extremely wrong mindset to have. There are so many things wrong with that way of thinking.

You fail to understand that in our modern reality, our data is our identity. Like computers, we too have vulnerabilities that can be exploited. Imagine how well a hacker could exploit software if he had access to the source code?

You fail to understand that Big Corporations DO care about our data. They harvest it precisely to manipulate our behavior for their benefit, at our expense. ("Digital Minimalism" by Cal Newport)

You fail to understand the many Big Corporations are essentially quasi-governmental organizations; they work in tandem with government to carry out agendas that are mutually beneficial to the government and the corporation, at our expense. Ask Edward Snowden.

You fail to understand that people are not paranoid. Many people simply understand that big corps may CURRENTLY take what is primarily a commercial interest, but as the political climate continues to shift, that primarily commercial purpose can pivot overnight to using your data to suppress dissent, influential voices, target members of whatever group they deem the "opposition".

You fail to understand how our lives are altered by Big corps Having access to our data. We are in an unfair fight; we are up against Big Corps that invest millions and millions into R&D to find the most effective ways to manipulate us to promote consumerism, for their profit.

I think you're too trusting and need to think deeper about this topic.
Apparently using the mars orbiter as a relay they can get up to 30Mbps. I couldn't find out what the transmission rate for lander -> orbiter is though. However lander direct to earth is in the Kbps on a good day.
Ask HN: Why are status pages so useless?
Serious question. Almost always, if I run into an issue on a platform, and I check the "status page," there is almost no useful information (or any information at all).

Is it just companies don't want the black eye of acknowledging otuages or problems? Or, is it just one of those boxes companies tick? 1) Create a product, 2) Create a Status page, but in reality, when problems occur, no one is thinking about updating status pages; they are busy triaging and fixing the issue?
Fixed! Thanks for reporting it.

> It’s been pretty disingenuous of Apple to have all their marketing photos with the single strap, when the unanimous opinion is that strap doesn’t work at all for comfortability or longevity.

"I found the solo loop much more comfortable" - direct quote out of the article you're replying to.
More people is more demand and higher prices and depressed wages equals higher profits. Natalism is being pushed by corporatism. Plus the modern economy is a giant ponzi scheme and people don’t want it to collapse on their watch.
We didn't coordinate directly, but when people were telling me that the site was going down and I saw that it was less than 20 GB, I would rate my personal panic at a two out of a scale of 1 to 50. I figured some of the copies we already had would have almost all of it, and then they went ahead and made an easily downloadable version as well. This was hardly a four alarm fire. Happy to hold multiple copies of it going forward.
It looks like something designed to look good in photos. Something like a Quest 3 with the upgraded head strap is probably way more practical and comfortable.

Yes but I think the point is even in that case anyone snooping would be drawn deeper to find something.
They see it as an "entitlement", because that's how society works. Don't want to drive and you will immediately start to experience discrimination, including microaggressions (no it's not like being the victim of racial oppression, just another way wind up in an outgroup).

The REALITY that I think is still being ignored in this thread is we don't rely on planes for our day to day travel, on average. I'm never going to need to hop in a plane just to eat, make it to work, or meet my friends.

I don't think it's "an entitlement" to want food, to get to work, and not be treated as a burdensome freak. To the vast vast majority of people, even frequent business travelers, flying is for occasional long distance travel, never for day to day activities.

If we really get to the point where non-driving is treated equally to driving, I might agree. However this seems exceedingly unlikely and is incredibly expensive. It would require me to be able to get around as a non-driver with the same cost and convenience. This turns out not to be economically feasible.
Keep in mind that was over 60 years ago. Computers now have much more CPU and storage space and ethernet bandwidth is also much bigger (currently hundreds of gigabits per second) and constantly increasing. We live in an unprecedented age of battlefield transparency. I don't have any clearance at all but I am allowed to pull out my credit card and buy time on a satellite to take photos of an area in Ukraine to confirm destroyed equipment or track wildfires. There has never been a time like this in human history.
In the days of hand-setting you could buy books of dithering (half-tone) printed on plastic film which you would cut and press onto a page. Some brands were Letratone and Zip-A-Tone, but it was generically called shading film.

Oh boy: "Listen to me, do you want to use a computer that is always looking at your hands?" It took a second for that warning to sink in.
What I want to know is how are they not using a secret manager (like Doppler or AWS Secrets Manager) at a company of this size? They could have avoided all of this. These types of leaks can cost companies everything (from their data to customer trust).
Any good resources or suggestions for system/pre-prompt for general coding or when targeting a specific language? ie, using the CodeLlama and working on typescript, ruby, rust, elixir etc.. is there a universal prompt that gives good results or would you want to adjust the prompt depending on the language you're targeting?
Huh, the environment variable thing was specifically aimed at acme.sh which rather arbitrarily changed the config value from ACMEDNS_UPDATE_URL to ACMEDNS_BASE_URL, never acknowledged this in a changelog and then silently failed after an automatic upgrade as recommended by the default install:

What about Finland or Sweden? 2.1 children per woman is the steady "not declining" rate... and Scandinavia tends to have people pointing there and saying "this is how you do support for new families..."

United States is at 1.64 and Canada is at 1.40.

Radio waves propagate at different speeds through different mediums so the GPR gain and time window have to be calibrated for each soil type and other environmental factors like how wet the ground is.

Disclaimer: I've learned several languages over the course of my life; also co-founded a language learning company that used AI to help track and measure improvement. Oddly enough, someone from HN hit me up yesterday to ask about it. The company shut down in 2022 and I'm in a completely different industry now (non tech) so am fully able to talk about what we learned, where we made mistakes and where we innovated.

Also, how do you teach things like slang, jargon, body language, hand movements, etc.. that are essential to effective social or professional communication in a given culture? Memorizing words, grammar and conjugations, etc... is great but is only a small part of the language learning journey.
