"Through technology we are building connections between reality and the digital world. People and objects can be created to exist in parallel with a digital version of themselves in a digital world -- a world that mimics the real world. There is a growing impact of technology and digital connectivity on how we live, socialise, work, produce, and govern. AI is an emerging field in education studies, both in the EU and internationally. Several studies have highlighted the benefits of AI for inclusion -- pre-dominantly in terms of the added benefits associated with differentiated and 'hyper-personalised' learning. At the same time, massive digitalisation and data collection could cause (and has done so) safeguarding concerns and risks to individual privacy, while catering to the monetary interests of tech companies."

A good thing that they acknowledge ed-tech's pitches, but no critical reflection in the whole report about this so-called hyper-personalization. And no mention of smartphones.

The selective disclosure is super cool, I wonder how it works since smthing like a hash of DG1 is what is actually signed, how can you selectively disclose verified data from "inside" the hashed area? It does not sound very feasible to me but I am not an expert in zk-snarks etc.

There are some wrinkles that prevent passport data being used more broadly - technically it is a TOS violation to verify passports / use the ICAO pkd without explicit permission from ICAO or by direct agreement with the passport holder's CSCA (country signing certificate authority). Some CSCAs allow open use but many do not.

Also, without being too pedantic about it, what you are able to prove is more like possession of a document. An rfid passport (or rfid dump & mrz) - or in fact any kind of identity document - does not prove that you are the subject - you need some kind of biometric bind for that.
Yeah, I've seen the term "sociotechnical" used to describe this relationship between software and process. A process is built in part for a system, and therefore the system in part needs to support the process. Changing the setup isn't just a technical challenge, it's a challenge in creating sociotechnical change. I think it's a very easy thing to underestimate.

I have a friend that has worked on this project for over a very long time and the issue is not that the UK tried to implement EHR records from scratch but rather that GPs (General Practitioner, think local doctors surgeries) had mostly all implemented EHR systems already. The issue is that these systems are created by several (6-8 if memory serves) different private companies and the UK Government can't force the GP to change or adopt a standard system.

The different GP EHR systems record patient information in their own ways. Think of a database entry for chemo medication, one EHR provider having a db column labeled "Drug X" with the patient entry listed as "Yes" with separate columns for dosage, frequency etc. Another will list the drug, dosage and frequency in the same field. Even if they have the same column e.g. frequency, different EHR's may list "5d" or "5 Days". There are also spelling errors, doctor's personal shorthand abbreviations etc.

The problem is that the UK interoperability system has is to implement a safe translation layer that will allow records to be transmitted between these systems that doesn't kill anyone. The astonishing amount of different types of information that are used and all the oversight needed to ensure that information is accurately transferred has made this project way more costly and time consuming that originally thought.

There is, of course, waste and profiteering, both internally to the Government project (huge contract salaries) and also with the private EHR companies (overruns and re-builds are all handsomely paid for).
Please stop harassing me.
But one that misses the point that regedit was superseded by regedt32 and even that hasn't been the only tool in the toolkit for decades.

There are specialized tools like (for instance) the ODBC Data Sources utilities that edit specific parts of the registry in more structured ways; and there are generalized tools like PowerShell that actually present the Registry as if it were a filesystem. One can actually "dir" the Registry with "-recursive" and wildcards and whatnot in PowerShell. (Personally, I try to be in the habit of avoiding PowerShell's compatibility aliases, but they're there for the people who want things to appear like their old familiar MS-DOS command lines.)

"I cannot edit this database file with a text editor." is an I-have-a-hammer-everything-must-be-a-nail argument. In the world of Windows and MS/PC-DOS preceding it, we've had specialized file editors for a long time.

I mentioned Peter Norton in another comment. Norton Utilities and clones like PC Tools and the Graham Utilities had specialized data file editors and viewers of several kinds. PC Tools could do several of the leading MS/PC-DOS database file formats, as I recall. (I'm not getting the box out of storage and checking the manual. (-: ) The culture of MS/PC-DOS has had the idea that more than just text editors exist for many years.
> PowerShell actually rules for readability and maintainability when you have people who know what they're doing.

Isn't that true for all programming languages ever devised by mankind?

> HNers by and large don't understand the economics of PowerShell. There is a very low supply of competent PoSh devs on the market, and even fewer interested in credibly signaling their proficiency, but a very high demand for them, because a lot of places still run everything on Windows, and guess what's installed on virtually all of them?

I don't see what point you're trying to make.

The fact that Microsoft decided to push PowerShell on virtually all versions of windows it ships only reflects a Product decision by Microsoft to push a Microsoft-only tool. It also shows Microsoft's decision to not offer the same level of support for any other alternative.

Where's the economics in that?

I also don't understand your broader comment on economics. Are you depicting it as a good or bad thing?

Yeah, I know, I wrote the new executor and the hypergraph join optimizer (the one based on DPhyp), that's why I wondered :-)

It's true that if you are using the hypergraph optimizer, you will get a rewrite from the array of tables into RelationalExpression. But I find it hard to call that relational algebra; in particular, it only supports joins and tables as operations. Filters are pushed down ad-hoc, and things like grouping or windowing operators are simply not representable in this structure at all. Columns are not dealt with at all either (projection is unavailable).

And perhaps more importantly; RelationalExpression is hardly used. Most of the optimizer works on the old array-of-tables structure, then it briefly becomes RelationalExpression for condition pushdown, then the hypergraph is created and RelationalExpression is never to be seen again. The entire hypergraph optimizer works by inducing subgraphs of a hypergraph; it does not use relational algebra.

Also, notably, MySQL 8.0 does not actually _use_ the hypergraph optimizer by default. You need to explicitly compile it in (it's off in release builds), and then enable it using an optimizer switch. So unless you go to fairly great lengths to enable it yourself, RelationalExpression and friends is never used.

I agree that using a relational algebra IR would be a good idea; it's a better structure than what's in there right now (which comes all the way from MySQL 3.x, and is extremely unflexible to work with). It's just that I don't think MySQL 8.0 does it. :-)

One would hope, but alas! Perl was notorious for being write-only back in the day.

PoSh is closer to read-only for most devs. If someone makes sure to write things out the long way (or uses a linter to do this) it's very easy to grok. Actually learning to write it is the tricky bit.
If the image synthesis is an example, I believe this to be a winning strategy in the long run to get the most competent model. The LLM space just moves a bit slower since the entry requirements for compute power are that much higher and
data preparation is maybe a bit more "dry" than tagging images.

The list on the link is primarily unrestricted TLDs (which are supposed to be open to registration for everyone) but are not (yet). Examples are `.ads` by Google, or `.author` by Amazon.

There are a few brand TLDs in the list as well which I consider to be legitimate squatting - `.cal`, `.baseball` are considered brand TLDs by ICANN, but Google should not have a monopoly on an entire TLD because they built Google Calendar. `.bofa` for example is a legitimate brand TLD, and is not on the list.

If you think a brand TLD on this list is incorrect, corrections/additions are welcome - https://github.com/captn3m0/tld-squatting/blob/main/_data/fa...
Not just a system-wide key/value database, but one with a few optimizations on top, if memory serves me right. It's in-memory first, which I suppose makes it a tad faster and is also neat for reducing disk writes on anything that receives a lot of changes in a short amount of time.

I think the concept is not too shabby. Perhaps not the best execution or tooling, but on paper, it sounds quite useful.

Another interesting thing about Windows CMD：for most of internal commands, you can omit the space between the command and switch that starts with a slash (a common thing in Windows).

E.g. the following two are the same:

ipconfig/all
ipconfig /all

I always wonder how exactly this is implemented (and why?!).

Edit: oh, another more famous example is the equivalence of

cd..
cd ..

And I have to admit I still do `ls..` from time to time, since I used Windows first (and most).

> They also say workers are learning skills that can be used when they’re released

It doesn't sound like this is a job training program where valuable skills are being taught in a learning environment. It doesn't sound like they care what the prisoners are likely to be able to do when released, as I don't think a 65 year old farm hand doing piece work for his retirement is going to reduce recidivism. Finally it's all in an environment where the prisoners are punished for not working, which is done nowhere outside of a prison, so what type of work _ethic_ are you actually building here.

This is a paper thin excuse to deprive prisoners of their civil rights.

It's premised on a distorted understanding of the world they live in, the spherical cow of politics and economics. Externalities don't exist, discontent leading to populism isn't a thing that can happen, endogenous bargaining disputes can't exist, tragedy of the commons isn't a thing that can happen.

It's why a lot of young technical-minded people are attracted to it. You need to be quite smart to understand the premises of libertarianism, but simultaneously, insufficiently educated in fields like history and economics to grok why it'd be a set of failed ideas in the actual real world. High idealism, low wisdom.

A lot of modern right-libertarian thinkers realize their ideology will never get voted in, so they're turning to neoreactionary thought and are doing away with any pretence of wanting democracy.

This is very true. There several reasons why most EHRs are so bad:

1) The people who pay generally do not use the system. This is true for enterprise software in general and leads to vendors prioritizing having all features organizations ask for (regardless if they are a good idea or not) and also prioritizing features management deems important over fundamental workflow, UX and polish in general.

2) EHRs are very large and complex and can almost always gain more customers by gaining even more features and replacing smaller more specialized systems. A typical EHR will have features for ordering tests and viewing results (for clinical chmistry, microbiology, radiology and more special stuff like physiology etc), appointments and resource planning (rooms, equipment, personnel, staffing), clinical notes including computing scores and values based on other values, medication (ordering, administering, sending prescriptions electronically) and administration (admissions, discharge, payment, waiting lists). That is a lot of different stuff!

3) Once a vendor wins a contract and installs their EHR, very little can be gained by improving the lives of users. Contracts and sales cycles are very long, and the vendor gains very little financially by improving the system. So many vendors are focused on charging money for customer specific features or adding new features to win new tenders.

I'm not sure what the solution is, public alternatives have failed spectacularly since they are typically run by public administrators who have even less of a clue how to develop software and what users want than the vendors.
