They don't need my full medical history for that. Just a highlights or "in case of emergency" summary.

Humans dealt with these issues just fine before records were centralized. And still do e.g. when I travel to another jurisdiction. Being an engaged and proactive actor in my recordkeeping actually improves my posture.

I deal with the same issues when it comes to estate planning (e.g. what happens if I become unable to make decisions for myself). There are tactics and contingencies available (like trusted individuals, powers of attorney, etc) and I don't need my full financial background to be openly available to thousands of participants in the system to accommodate. Society and the concept of trust did not evolve over millions of years to end up becoming nothing more than an individual and a computer somewhere in the cloud.
I agree with you it's great that Mistral exists and the efforts they do are very useful.

I'm sure they are going to improve, but compared to what you have shown it's still more of a garage-shop.

(Is Mistral worth 2B+ EUR ? That's another question).

In one way or another, such regulation already implicitly exist in all the countries where there is no First Amendment equivalent.

Perhaps a workaround would be to claim that this is free speech protected by the Fist Amendment and shouldn't be controlled.

(Back to Mistral and regulations), in France, for example, there are certain words or things you cannot write or say without risking to go to jail (in theory, but in practice it's mostly fines), or if you spread certain historical "fake news".
Hmm, I recall an EPA chart showing expected performance of different MERV classes versus particle size that had the lower classes staying at zero for very small particles, but I’m not seeing it right now. But I found this — start at page 71.

You do want the higher MERV classes to get decent performance.
Not only well-meaning people suffer from near-sightedness. Conmen do, too.

While committing the act, they just think in the short term, and not about the absolute destruction of people's lives and property.

This nearsightedness complicate many problems further, and worsen them.
Small teams get more done with less because communication overhead is low and agency is high in each individual.

Big teams tend to struggle because people don’t know exactly what to do to move the whole shambling enterprise forward. It’s less about effort and more about coordination. Aside from the specific IC skills present, some understanding of the social dynamics and systemic outcomes of the teams ways of working needs to be sprinkled throughout the team to keep things on track. People tend to want to draw a box around their role so they have clarity in their work, but problems don’t conform to these boundaries, and often the hardest thing is framing challenges in the right way so that the team can make progress and avoid devolving into finger pointing or learned helplessness. Forget rewards for a second, just recognizing small actions and statements that have huge net negative impact on a team can be surprisingly difficult at scale.

> Pretty soon people won't be able to distinguish between noise and signal.

People suck at randomizing things and computers are stupidly good a processing huge amounts of data and recovering the signal from the noise. The solution is not to add noise, but to remove signal. Generally adding noise is the first thing laypeople think of. Too bad there's whole fields of signal analysis, information theory, noise modeling, and the persistence of side-channels with over a century of work that make plucking the weak signal from noise relatively easy. Oh, and did I mention they have COMPUTERS?
I'm quoting wikipedia here:

> There are a number of ways of achieving a short position. The most fundamental method is "physical" selling short or short-selling, which involves borrowing assets (often securities such as shares or bonds) and selling them. The investor will later purchase the same number of the same type of securities in order to return them to the lender. If the price has fallen in the meantime, the investor will have made a profit equal to the difference.

In the case of macOS though, Apple chose to make many APIs not work in 64 bit. So it wasn't just a matter of fixing all their pointer sizes, they needed to totally change frameworks too. i.e. Apple nuked their ecosystem from orbit.
I feel like the software did its job.

It reported a 90% chance that this was not the suspect when asked to compare photos. Yet the company decided 10% possibility of being correct was good enough for them to report to the police that it’s definitely this guy.
Interesting. I was using acme.sh and switched to lego, largely because I manage my servers with Puppet and acme.sh’s config format didn’t lend itself well to config management.

I renew certs for several boring things like nginx instances, but also things like my printer’s web portal, a Synology NAS, and a Unifi console that require bespoke commands to reload the cert.

I’ve got monitors that fire if any of my certs drop below 27 days before expiry, and over the past ~2 years, 100% of the problems have been with the custom hooks. I’ll log into the server and find that it did reissue the cert, but the command to make the Synology ingest the new cert failed for some arcane reason. The servers where it’s just running systemctl restart nginx or similar don’t fail.
I know nothing about these things, what is the point to use a "smart" soldering iron instead of a normal dumb one ?

It's a bit old and doesn't include recent microarchitectural changes, but Section 2 of the FlexSC paper from 2010 (https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/osdi10/tech/full_papers/...) has a detailed discussion of these indirect effects. I especially like how they quantify the indirect effects by measuring user code's IPC after the syscall.
AI companies want to make completely unengineered systems with no systematic guarantee that they work or even knowledge of how they work, and then try to displace as much human labor as possible in as many critical points of control as possible. This is literally the goal of anyone seeking AGI.

In my view, stifling this is a benefit, not a drawback.
I keep thinking how sad RSC are for users in general, in that while yes the pages load faster, it de-APIs the web/Web app.

Instead of a bunch of JSON endpoints feeding a thick client, we are back to a more thin client model, where the server controls & drives the experience.

What advanced users can do is far greater with a more data-centric web, when there is a thick client to riff on. Those folks can build & share their own tools to amplify/augment/supplement the provided experience. Leaving the door open to innovation like that is something I'm sad to see the pendulum swings away from; the user has a vastly freer hand to make their own advanced with under the thick client model.

Definitely does not work that way where I live. The "guilt" is determined independently of insurance situation. The insurance companies decides whose insurance will be used to pay which does not influence fault determination at all.

> Where both divers are covered by the same insurer, there is a higher likelihood that both will be found somewhat at fault.

Not true at all.

And in particular, beyond being fined for not having mandatory insurance, you insurance does not influences at all who goes to jail or who will be fined and for what.

> The legal debate is about who has more or less blame, who has enough to be adjudicated responsible for which resulting injuries.

The legal debate fairly often ends with one driver being ruled as the cause of the accident with no blame spread.
While you speak the truth about CL, I have been using CL for 40+ years and I can be happy by using my own preferred subset of the language. BTW, I do the same with Haskell. I am enthusiastic, but a novice, for Haskell but I use a shockingly small subset of the language, language extensions, and available libraries.
Hey Duff, you're right, healthcare is broken in so many places, and insurers are probably the worst in this morass. They selectively follow Milligan care guidelines, build tools that actively discourage anyone from understanding and/or fighting for fair care and bills, and basically pretend they're doing you a favor but making you pay for your services, then showing a marked down EoB that pretend like they saved you money but knocking off 80% of a bill that was prenegotiated, and you're the one footing the bill. Insurers have no incentive to make healthcare better, and though hospitals are disjointed they still make so much money, it doesn't matter how badly they are run.

But aside from the insurance companies, the first large scale emr systems (Cerner, McKesson, and even Epic) were built as operational tools to essentially give accounting access to Crystal reports. Sure, electronic charts should make the patient's life better, and assist trained medical staff in tracking, however they ultimately are used to figure out how the CBO can game the insurer financial incentive system. CPT + ICD +modifiers (oh, and 85% of those cpt codes are under copyright by the corrupt AMA - yup i have a different bone to pick with them).

I agree that operational dysfunction is the biggest problem in these behemoths, and there's so much ineptitude in administrative staffing that it's a nightmare. Doctors like to believe they're the bees knees and everyone should kowtow to them, but they usually can't run a business to save their lives. It's easy for them to simply blame an EMR than to acknowledge the truth of a dysfunctional system they are a part of.

Glad to see you're still kicking ass, better than sameday.

Please provide one reason to believe that USDT is actually 1-for-1 backed by USD. Because they say so?

Tether is the crypto version of a wildcat bank. It's totally unaudited, it's owned and operated by a former plastic surgeon and others with limited experience in finance, and it's been heavily fined by the state of New York for its shenanigans. It's only a matter of time before they implode like 3AC, Celsius, FTX, Signature, etc. etc.

I think the open doors 'bong' sound is a feature to US/NA models only. Never hear it in Europe.
To be honest I live in one of the most pampered eras doing the cushiest job from home. But even so I dont understand how people motivate themselves to make children, especially if they have a 1-2 hour commute and are forced by debt to take on shittier jobs than mine (probably 99% of jobs out there). Why even do this for 60 years and also condemn your kids to the same thing? It might seem like bragging but I basically won the game and I dont see anything worth it up here. I guess the struggle is what gives you meaning or something and children can be your cope because they will have a better life than yours if yours sucks.
Those are some nice blog articles but the general consensus is that on a per-line basis duck typed and statically typed code have the same amount of bugs.

The duck typed code is also significantly shorter, less lines of code per software feature means less bugs per released software feature.

It's very difficult to compete against just having less code. You only needed to write 1000 lines of code instead of 3000 lines of code? Then you just eliminated 66% of the bugs.

Static typing on the other hand catches less than 1% of bugs.

So you can go for the duck typing approach and remove 66% of the bugs in your code or the static typing approach and remove 1% of the bugs in your code.

Which approach do you think works better?
I thought all military planes must have a Identification Friend or Foe protocol, where the signal will be encrypted and the approach is kind of a challenge-response, which should be fool-proof, isn’t it? So how come that they could not know which were which?

Let's talk about Microsoft as serious mail provider:
I self-host my mail server for <10 years. My server is in 0 blocklists. DKIM / DMARC / SPF implemented since ages. The company I work for, hosts their emails on 0365, I have been sending emails from one account to the other with no problem.
Recently I got an email from an outlook.com account. I am in the contacts list of the sender. I tried to respond, my email was rejected. The email auto-response from MS contained links with "things you should do in order to make mails from your server acceptable by MS". I have everything done already since ages. Nothing missing.
I googled on how to "appeal". I find a hell lot of people complaining in MS forums about it, no obvious solution.

Eventually I find a portal from MS to do exactly that: Appeal. I tried to use the portal but I got an error "event service error" - or something similar. Portal not working.
I say "what the heck - I ll try later". I do try later, same outcome. Several times. For days. I google the error, I find several threads on redit since years complaining that the portal doesn't work giving this exact error. Since years.
I keep trying nevertheless to respond to the email and go through the portal again for days. Nothing.
I try the following: I signup for azure, it asks me for an email address, I say I have none and guides me to sign up to outlook. Outlook asks me for a backup email address, I provide my email address from the blocked server.

I then try to respond again to the original email that outlook has been rejecting - WORKS.
Summary again: MS blocks email my mail server for not fulfilling requirements that it actually fulfills. MS portal to object, doesn't work since years. I create an outlook email and set self-hosted mail address as "backup" - my server gets unblocked.

Fun fact: I received "on-boarding" emails from MS Azure to my new MS Outlook account. MS Outlook classified them as "Junk".

Does this qualify as a "serious mail provider"?

Study shows a drink before bed can cause reductions in REM sleep
"Periodontal disease (PD), or periodontitis, is an oral inflammatory disease caused by the host’s immunological response to periodontal pathogens [10]. PD is a significant public health burden with a high prevalence among adults. 42% of US adults aged 30 or older have periodontitis, with 7.8% having severe forms of the disease. Periodontitis prevalence increases with age, affecting more than 59% of adults over 65 [11, 12]. Chronic PD is a slow, progressive, irreversible degradation of the tooth-supporting apparatus (periodontium), leading to tooth loss. [13, 14]. PD is initiated by dysbiosis of the microbiome of the oral cavity and results in local inflammation, eventually contributing to chronic systemic inflammation [10, 15]. Periodontitis is associated with neurodegenerative diseases and neuroinflammatory processes through circulating mediators or direct access of the oral microbes to the CNS via systemic circulation [16,17,18]."
This isn't surprising, I feel like it's been common knowledge. I maintain a token social media presence precisely because I feel it would look weird/suspicious not to.

It's like hiding $500 in a dummy wallet in your underwear drawer, if someone finds it, they think they found your stash and they move on without tearing the rest of the place apart.

Same reason why I let Google hoard many of my photos. It's the low hanging fruit that makes creating a presence easy. Folks aren't going to look beyond the curtain because they expect the curtain to be there and be all that's there. It's only when you leave the curtain wide open being a digital nomad of sorts that anyone looking has to look deep to find anything at all.

In a way, maintaining token controlled usage of these services is more anonymous than avoiding them, which is wild.
> It seems to me that the government accessing, even if by purchase, information of citizens without probable cause is a violation, if not in letter, then in spirit, of the fourth amendment.

Tragically the 4th amendment is kinda narrow. I would definitely appreciate some additions which enshrine a more specific right to privacy. Protecting against "unlawful" searches (AKA you have to take the case to court afterwards) is far to close to meaningless. Feels like the 4th amendment is about 10% as powerful as it should be.
There is also something seriously wrong with what we’re consuming or being exposed to. I’m a millennial and it seems like more of my friends have had trouble conceiving than the opposite. Just in my small friend group a couple of people are unable and the ones that have had them tried for quite a long time. I’m currently at a year of trying at 31 years old (partner is 30.). We are all otherwise healthy.
I remember the last time I was on a military base I saw a poster with a femme fatale looking woman on it and the words "YOUR JOB'S NOT THAT INTERESTING" printed in big letters. If they don't have propaganda posters that say stuff like "DON'T LEAK CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS TO WIN INTERNET ARGUMENTS" yet, they should.
As Clinton famously said: "It's the economy, stupid." (I'm not calling you stupid.)

Housing, healthcare, education, and transportation are all generally unaffordable, and those are precisely the costs most associated with having children. Add in the tradeoff of one partner staying home vs making money but paying it to childcare for several years, and it's much easier to say "maybe next year".
Those numbers reflect events thirty to eighty years ago. It’s a strongly lagging indicator, and doesn’t mean we aren’t below replacement right now.
One word - "Feelings". Kids invoke feelings, people are susceptible and ruled by them. Logic is then applied to the decision to justify.

Same thing happened to me. I was eating bananas, beef, coffee, etc. then I got some sort of viral infection. My thyroid became inflamed for a couple months. No doctor was able to find anything wrong with me.

Little did I know, having postviral sequelae causes my immune system to start hating many things I used to eat. A food blood sensitive test showed that bananas, beef, coffee were what set my immune system off the most.

I was told it was gut permeability causing food particles to leak into the blood stream causing the immune response. So the fix has been to stop eating those, let the gut heal, and over time I've been able to eat those foods in moderation years later.

Vertex non-opioid pain drug meets main goal in late-stage trials
I'd suggest that the main issue might not be housing, but rather childcare. The cost of childcare is incredibly high, more than many (most?) mortgages or rent payments. Unlike previous generations who settled in the suburbs close to family support, many of us are now gravitating back to city centers away from relatives who could help with childcare.

Raising children requires a substantial commitment of time – they're undoubtedly rewarding for many who choose to have them, but it's completely reasonable why some people would be hesitant or even opposed to the idea.

Show HN: Custom coloring pages for kids and adults
I built colorbliss.art back in September basically so that I could spend less time scrolling on google looking for coloring pages.

A typical scrolling session with my five year old would be:

Him: "Dad, can I have a coloring page"

Me: "Sure, what kind do you want"

Him: "Something with dinosaurs, and maybe spiderman"

Me: "I'm not sure if we're going to find that"

Him: "Just look it up dad"

Me: "Ok...hm, I"m not finding that"

Him: "Just keep scrolling dad"

Me: scrolling, scrolling

Him: "Just keep scrolling dad"

*repeat forever*

I thought this would be a great use case for AI - creating the actual coloring sheet he wanted. It takes a text prompt (Spiderman at the Eiffel Tower, Skeletons on parade) and makes a coloring page in about 10s or less.

We've had a lot of fun using it together, and so I thought I'd share it here as well.

Would love any feedback!
OK I played with this some more, it's so good - exactly what I dreamed of!!

A couple more bits of feedback:

(1) The "suggestion" / "I'm unsure" etc. feedback is fantastic

(2) Word segmentation doesn't seem to be working properly, and so the context lookup doesn't work right. Example:

中国 should be parsed as a single word ("china"), but it's parsed as individual characters ("middle", "kingdom").

This means I have to tab out to a dictionary to look up words, and it's a bit annoying to select the right text.
I am mildly disappointed to see Vitalik rail against open source AI in the name of safety.
systemd-nspawn is simple but AFAIK it doesn't do any security other than the kernel namespacing. Docker is even worse because it runs containers as root, which means a rogue process can take over the host very easily.

Incus/LXD runs containers as normal users (by default) and also confines the whole namespace in apparmor to further isolate containerized processes from the host. Apparmor confinement is also used for VMs (the qemu process cannot access anything that is not defined in the whitelist)
