I thought there were other interior point methods now beside the ellipsoid algorithm that performed better. Some of these are useful in convex nonlinear programming, and I believe one is used (with a code generator from Stanford to make it faster) in the guidance software for landing the Falcon 9 first stage. There, as the stage descends it repeatedly solves the problem of reaching the landing point at zero velocity with minimum fuel use, subject to various constraints.

How about partnering to make Teens' future lives FN better- come out with a group of tools/resources/bots/classes powereed by AI that will improve their quality of life in the future - like finance, investing, personal-project-management(this is a big lack in all kids - learn how to manage a personal project as if it were a professional one.)

etc

Fuck protecting teens, you should be partnering to EMPOWER TEENS why are you focused on the negative out of the gate?

Build a bunch of apps that actually do the stupid mantra "MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE"

'protecting teens' is FN retarded.

Build a tangible tool, muppets.
I think they need to do less. Part of the problem is they are trying to be everything for everyone. A hospital is an aggregation of what is really several different businesses into one - and they all have to use the same monolithic application. Each medical speciality has their own unique data and technology needs, as does each specific unit (ie different ICUs for surgery, burns, etc), then add pharmacy, labs, admin, etc.

If the priority is billing, then focus on aggregating and correlating billing data, expose an API for consumption with other systems being used that may or may not be from the same EMR company.

I do agree that there is an issue with stakeholder bias towards admin. Every pet project from admin results in a bolt-on fix to the EMR configuration bloating clinical processes. They are the ones that make the rules and decisions and are often disconnected from both technology and clinical expertise which is perhaps the worst combination for health care technology decisions.

Ask HN: Automate Changes in Multiple Projects
I have some containers running and part of them are based in the first project, let's call it "Server1".

Since there was no planning (these are my personal projects), Server2, Server3 and Server4, are basically copy/paste from Server1 with a few changes in the code. This leads to me having multiple Dockerfile and other files, being duplicated among the projects with minor changes according to the project itself.

This weekend I've updated Server1 with a new Docker image and fixed a bug in one of the bash scripts used by the app, since it worked as expected, I had to manually replicate the changes on Server2, 3, 4 and so on...

Building and deployment are automated, no problem with this, I'm using Gitea Actions & Portainer hooks, however, I would like to hear some suggestions on how to automate this manual labor also, not only the Dockerfile itself, but also the bash scripts, etc, basically, all those common files that all the apps share.

Thank you.

Depends. On a 2 hour flight - yeah. On a 16 hour flight (with power in the seats) - no.
My own personal take:

I live my life not for enjoyment but to try and leave the world better than I found it. If I can succeed in doing so (even slightly) then teaching 2 children to do the same would be my life’s greatest contribution.

I actually think the declining birth rate is rooted in the narrative that humans are ruining the earth. I believe we are making it better and more interesting over time.
> When you're running a business, you don't care about any of that beauty or flexibility. You want code which is quick and easy to write, trivial to read, and understandable by even the worst programmer in your company.

This is exactly right, I don't know why so many people still fail to grasp this concept.

That’s a heck of a baseless assumption IMO. I’m not the OP, but I am in a similar position to them - in my case I have a sufficient amount of material stuff to be basically comfortable without excess; then beyond that I have friends, volunteering at community events, and working on open source projects, none of which feel particularly materialistic or selfish?

Yes, this is what they do, up to a point.

Thanks to modern transportation (cars and good roads) and telecommunication (phones and internet) we've been able to expand our cities to levels that were unachievable during ancient times.

But with current tech, there are still practical limits. The undeniable proof is the huge pressure on the housing market. If it was practical to simply build houses in the middle of nowhere, people would do that instead of fighting for small space in large cities.
So there will be one uncensored, general-purpose, actually-useful AI out there that only the government will have. Hmmmm...

It gives me a deep sense of satisfaction and joy to raise them, protect them, provide for them, guide them, and get to know them as they grow up.

Like you, I also work remotely. My career is fine. It pays the bills. I've been successful. But that's not where I find satisfaction now, and when I leave the workforce eventually it'll go on without me. The deeper, meaningful part of my life is what I've built outside of work - with my wife and kids, my family, my friends, and my piano and bass guitar.

Yeah the genie is out of the bottle. Any regulations a government sets up just puts its economy behind the competition. I think a lot of the US regulations are coming from large tech companies (google) feeling threatened. LLMs used for knowledge and skills transfer threaten search and therefore ads. If you can make it illegal or impractical then you don’t have to compete.

I would readily bet against that. It is unclear if humans can be delivered to Mars in good enough condition to do meaningful exploration where a human presence would make a difference.

Shorter-term, it is unclear if Starship is the right rocket for any purpose due to being spec'ed for such a wide range of purposes, and incompletely spec'ed due to faith in an iterative development process that may be totally inappropriate for developing large complex systems.

It is conceivable that a Moon station could be built and manned for a relatively small multiple of the cost of the ISS. It is conceivable such a station could be evacuated in the event of a serious failure. It is conceivable that humanity will learn interesting things about the Moon and perhaps do astronomy that would be otherwise impractical.

Landing humans on Mars and not killing them would be the highest accomplishment of sending humans to Mars. Some things will have to wait for post-humans to be created, if that ever turns out to be a good idea.
That's a myth. In the original experiment, AFAIR, while the average distance between any two people in the world was 6 persons, the number of successfully completed chains of connection was very small[1].

The higher power consumption on the Intel side is mostly a reflection of the futility of feeding it more power. A better way to compare these would have been to dial back the power levels on the Intel CPU until it was only just as fast as the AMD part, and compare that power level.

It's not a matter of pedantry but about a fundamental view of performance. Operation X can be 100x fasterthan operation Y yet its impact on performance may be anywhere between -3% and 10000%. The precise makeup of trainers' soles may make the difference between Usain Bolt breaking the world record or not, and yet have negligible impact on people's running speed. Saying that it's "wild" that not every trainer has the exact same soles as those of Usain Bolt's confuses performance with specialists' gear. Making safety stronger to allow, say, better constant folding can improve performance overall and at the same time not be the best choice in some special circumstances.

Improving performance demands that there would be no non-delineated code that could result in miscompilation or undefined behaviour. We don't want to tell people, well, we've introduced a new default optimisation but it means that it's possible that some transitive dependency you may not even know about could result in undefined behaviour. That might be okay for C (where deep dependency graphs are very, very rare), but it's certainly not what people want from Java.
in my experience (I did pay a few hundred bucks to a friend back in the day) it worked because I felt very bad about giving money like this to someone.
Entropy in Statistical Mechanics is a quantity associated with a probability distribution over states of the system. In classical mechanics, this is a probability distribution over the phase space of the system.

Two probability distributions with different entropy can both assign finite probability density to the same state, so an increase in entropy does not preclude the possibility of the system returning to its initial state.

A great deal of confusion about entropy arises from imagining it as a function of the microstate of a system (in classical mechanics, a point in phase space) when it is actually a function of a probability distribution over possible states of a system.

A further wrinkle: Liouville's Theorem [0] shows that evolution under classical mechanics is _entropy preserving_ (because the evolution preserves local phase space density, and entropy is a function of this density). An analogous result applies to quantum mechanics. However, a simple probability distribution parametrized by a few macroscopic parameters rapidly becomes very complex as it evolves in time. When we imagine the entropy of an isolated classical system increasing over time, the meaning is that if we want to model the (very complicated) evolved probability distribution with a simple probability distribution (describable in terms of a few macroscopic parameters), the simple distribution must have entropy greater than or equal to the complex evolved distribution, which is equal to the original entropy before evolution.

It's difficult to reconcile the idea that entropy is a function of a probability distribution (not a function of a system's microstate) with the idea that Thermodynamical entropy is an experimentally measurable (kind of...) property of a system. Jaynes' "The Evolution of Carnot's Principle" [1] is the clearest description I've seen of the relationship between Thermodynamic entropy and Statistical Mechanical/Information Theoretical entropy. Many of Jaynes' other papers [2] on this topic are also illuminating.

>unless you have raised a good child, you have done nothing difficult or worthwhile.

This and the suggestion that the parent must be depressed are antagonistic and unjustified. However, it's also a common reaction to the parent's opinion. It's a form of defensiveness where there was no attack, because the topic is so tightly linked to ten-million-year-old emotions.
I think he means it would need to be calibrated on Mars as the exact ground density and composition isnt known from earth

I personally use this (alongside an extremely high threshold):

after-focus-change-function
(lambda () (unless (frame-focus-state) (garbage-collect))))

So Emacs GCs whenever it loses focus (i.e. I'm looking at some docs in a browser or whatever). This works great for me - it's rare that I notice it still cleaning up when I switch back.

I agree that the over-emphasis on medication as the only treatment for ADHD can be damaging. On the other hand, the jump to "I don't need to change" overlooks a very depressing reality: a lifetime of being told you're inadequate because you lack the focus to be reliable in school, work, or life is definitely impacting your psyche on a daily basis.

The people I know who have ADHD and are doing fine were diagnosed at a very young age and were medicated or otherwise built strong coping skills. They don't have any of the emotional baggage. I think it's important to think of ADHD not just as an executive function disorder but as the lifetime of trauma that accrues when, like you said, society's expectations don't line up with what you're capable of delivering without additional support.

The more we overlook the emotional/psychological aspect of ADHD, the more people are going to continue to suffer, and meds might help many people reach a place where they can work through those feelings, but it's just a tool.
Interesting. I think some people are more motivated by the fear of losing something than by the reward.

I must be mistaken then, I saw some of your other comments over the past few months and thought to myself, why does this rhetoric sound oddly familiar and thought that there was only one other person on this site which I've interacted with in my life, not just even on HN, that had such a love for the web (and also used some weirdly strong language in expressing said love as well as disdain for other anti-open-client technologies like Flutter, which I personally use), and I compared some of the comments which seemed to me to be extremely similar. But I guess, there might be more of these types of web-loving people than I had thought on HN.

If Vehicle B was paying attention they can see vehicle A not slowing down (assuming there is sight lines). The options are then to stop despite having the right away, or take a sharp turn.
