My father has been part of the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) [1] and its follow-up study Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC)

My understanding is that the study has been fairly conclusive in proving that maintaining blood sugar levels as close to the normal range as possible has a positive impact on many of the previously thought "inevitable" side effects of diabetes (like losing your vision, losing feeling in your extremities, kidney failure, etc.).

He's justifiably proud of having helped in some small way improve the outcomes for lots of other folks.

I like to speak my mind as well, but I haven’t ever listed a bunch of colleagues names and then wished death on them. Actually I’m not sure he could have worded it better: what’s the good way to deliver that message?
Nevermind - digging around in their repository shows that they used DataScribe.

Looking for Ideas on New Site
At the office, I find myself frequently wanting to describe system processes, class organization, or business processes in a flowchart. So I made a little site that links an llm to a charting engine for my own personal convenience.

I added a login button so I don't get too much spam and I can throttle use (for now). Looking for advice.

My goal is:

- one input box. maybe a browse button to pick a file
- no controls, sliders or things. just free form text as the only ui
- currently it's only really good at flowcharts and system diagrams
- want suggestions for types of charts people might like, types of data, etc.
- vague idea that a "public" checkbox could feed community charts through to some social page where people can comment. maybe just tweet it out. not sure if that idea is useful or annoying to anyone. maybe i should scrap it.
- thinking i will do venn diagrams next because it's cute and fun. or maybe maps. or maybe a stock price link? not sure what people want tbh.
- generally just want feedback on the idea
Thank you! I swore that I played a game just like this, but was totally blanking on the name.
'Pass muster,' the figure drawn from the military practice of mustering (gathering) troops for inspection of their uniform, equipment, and personal grooming. Unsatisfactory presentation can result in being sent away to fix it, usually repeatedly and at length while being smoked by an NCO, to help you remember not to make the same mistake again. When this occurs, the one so dismissed has failed to pass muster.
Even more apparently, that wasn’t the entire test.
If you're already putting a clock on yourself ("ASAP") then you have made it harder.

Somebody doing something for 12 hours/day is losing out on free time that makes life worthwhile. If you're Serena/Venus Williams, maybe giving up a normal life for mastery is worth it. But I imagine there are people that trained roughly the same number of hours and aren't operating at a level where they could comfortably tell people "I gave up years of my life to be able to do this".

Most people involved in an activity day to day don't think of themselves as having mastered something.

However, people on the outside of something who want to be on the inside may feel that if they can't demonstrate mastery, they won't be invited in.

> So, when the police ask the public for information related to a crime, it should be illegal?

Absolutely not. I'm not sure how you don't get this. It's been explained several times.

Police asking: fine

Police offering bounties: needs oversight

Police sitting in police station and citizen walks in to volunteer information: fine

Police go to private corporation and pay for data: needs oversight

Police compel company to give data: needs oversight

You treat these as if they are all the same, but they are not.
No that’s not what I said. Also, they haven’t “informally criticized” a death threat. They’ve asked the city attorney to draft a law against it and filed police reports, in addition to having their favorite reporters prolong the news cycle. Don’t downplay the extent of the pearl clutching.
It doesn't say anything about the rules of physics being different that I can see.

I'm not saying professional auditors are useless, just that they will never reach the feedback you get from peer reviews and are not a replacement for peer reviews anyways.

We're not in the 90s anymore and it's time to acknowledge that the software world and even the world in general has changed. Knowledge is now spread and the most knowledgeable devs aren't working at an audit firm and might not even hold a computer degree!

Aye, center-right in terms of economics, more center (or even center-left) in terms of social policy. Pushing it to the right, consider Democrats on war and the military industrial complex. And, ultimately, I would say that the unifying policy of the Democrats is to preserve the status quo in all matters: social and economic. And the status quo in the US leans right as far as the global stage is concerned. And don't forget about Europe when establishing your list of countries to define a global overton window.
Apparently, yes, and while there are tests, it's probably too late once symptoms have appeared:

> Rabies virus travels through the nerves to the spinal cord and brain. This process can last approximately 3 to 12 weeks. The animal has no signs of illness during this time.[^1]

> Several tests are necessary to diagnose rabies ante-mortem (before death) in humans; no single test is sufficient. Tests are performed on samples of saliva, serum, spinal fluid, and skin biopsies of hair follicles at the nape of the neck.[^2]

> Once clinical signs of rabies appear, the disease is nearly always fatal, and treatment is typically supportive. Less than 20 cases of human survival from clinical rabies have been documented.[^3]

It seems like you’re implying that donating to a campaign somehow goes to the government?
Seems like he was hoping to get his twitter followers to harass them in a manner similar to the way he did -- otherwise why tweet it?

Probably receiving death threats causes a lot of real anxiety (not just the PC snowflake kind). That's a lot better than an actual assassination, but it's not nothing either.
> where the link between your genes and the disease(?) are pretty dubious in the literature

This is inescapable; genetics usually can't show causation, for instance because you can't do an experiment where you change someone's genes.

Geneticists seem to deal with this by using statistics like GWAS that are obviously just correlation, adding a sentence that correlation doesn't show causation, and then just proceeding and pretending like it does.
>10$ lab kit worth $399

Can you elaborate? Does this mean they've added $389 in value, or they swindled people of $389?

If it's the former, what did they do to create that value? (Not being snarky, I don't know enough about their business and am legitimately curious. There seems to be a lot of comments here about unfulfilled promises.)

> There's compute-time costs in changing its role from Function A to Function B.

Why do you need to change existing VM in any way? Having an idle VM for function A should not prevent the host from instantiating new VMs for function B. I still do not see where is the cost of an idle VM.

> servers (or more accurately software VMs inside of physical servers), are locked into a specific function

I think this needs to be more specific; what resources are exactly locked to a VM? Are they pinning VMs to specific CPUs or something that prevents the host from scheduling other tasks there? If so, why?

Also, you sound very confident in your answers, do you have some additional sources you could point me to, or are you also basing all this on this one paper?
Invidia is sort of how nvidia gets pronounced anyway, so I’d go with that one. Ntel sounds like they make telecommunications equipment in 1993.
Find an expert teacher. Do everything they say, even if you hate it. If you have other ideas on how to improve, do them, but on your own time.

If you outgrow your teacher, i.e. you have stopped learning from them, find another expert teacher.
OP author here. Thanks for mentioning it, I happen to work at Wētā FX and we are obviously very biased toward spectral rendering and the problems it solves. I often hear people saying that spectral rendering is complicated but it is actually the opposite, mostly everything becomes simplified with it. It, gives, at the very least an elegant first principle based framework to work from.

First tell me you've never wished a person dead aloud, not even once.

I've probably done it two or three times. I've wished people dead quietly, maybe about 10 times. Never actually killed anyone. One person I wished dead, did die (of leukemia), probably, unfortunately, slow and painfully.

Here's someone I would right now, wish a slow and painful death, publically. Vladimir Putin.

Money.

Oil rigs are expensive and profitable enough to warrant throwing huge piles of money at shipping costs.
Those are horoscopes. They may be commonly understood, (although you're wrong about how people use left and right as well) but if you want to call yourself left, you can match those statements to your opinions, and likewise if you call yourself right. So it is still the case that no one knows what you're talking about.

Liberty is a function of an extraordinarily strong social contract. If you don't have strong enforcement of rights, you don't have rights.
Unless you're defining expertise in a purely relative sense like PaulHoule here and aiming to learn something that is brand new that nobody is an expert in, I would not expect to become an expert in anything quickly. Putting aside the realism of any specific number like 10,000 hours, you can't usually just frontload that. Athletic endeavors are most obvious. You have to recover and adaptations take time besides, so simply increasing practice time density eventually becomes counterproductive. I'm sure intellectual endeavors are a bit more conducive to cramming, but not entirely. The brain is still a physical organ that requires recovery, downtime, and takes time to produce lasting adaptations.
Have you ever lived near the "el" in Chicago?
Time is important, but being able to assess what good is is incredibly important. I've met plenty of people who thought they were good at something till they met someone who was actually great at it, and then had to personally reassess.

This goes for sports, hobbies, tech skills, everything. If you're just at home and practicing by yourself, you can get competent, but without a bar to assess yourself against you have no idea if you're expect or just ok.

Furthermore, without the bar of "expert" to measure yourself against, it's hard to identify where your weaknesses are, and where to put effort.

Tech example - I started using ansible at home to automate things. I'm competent and can build a role for a new service pretty quickly. Am I good? No. Do I know how ok/good/great I am? Not really. It's pretty hard to measure. I know some of the patterns I use are designed for home use, not large scale deployments, but more practice isn't going to get me there.

It comes down to coaching, measuring, improving against a known standard, not just 10k hours of repetition.

To answer the actual "how to do it ASAP" part - I'd find a known expert who wanted to teach me, then learn from the master. With a great teacher you get the benefit of all their 10K hours of wisdom, provided in digestible chunks and a focused learning plan.
They call themselves a software company. The guys in India that develop the software know what they are doing but the managers in Germany have no clue what they are doing.

From everything I've read and learned about this Musk comp drama, it has nothing to do with how much he's getting paid and everything to do with how they created the comp package.

The comp plan was presented as created by an independent board, when the truth was the directors had a direct conflict of interest that they did not disclose to the shareholders.

And that under Delaware law makes it a no-no and allows shareholders to sue, which they did. They were "mislead." Had they been more transparent, they could have given Musk triple the comp package and everything would have been above board.

The issue at the end of the day is transparency to shareholders, not the $ amount, or whether he did or did not earn it.
> and I doubt they will ever become truly obsolete.

I expect they will just become obsolete slower in the USA than other parts of the world.

Personal cheques are already obsolete in my country (New Zealand). And their usage looks to be sharply declining in European countries: https://www.statista.com/statistics/443677/cashless-payment-... or countries are trying to stop their usage (UK, Australia).

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1055578/check-usage-by-c... implies that the USA likes checks. 30 years ago NZ had over 50% of transactions by cheque.

Yes, checks have important benefits but the downsides (fraud, processing costs, credit risk) lead to them becoming uncommon and then obsolete in other countries. No reason the USA will be different.
It is directly associated with the deal they are making. Would you let that quote be used with a deal your company is making? Intel knows full well how this is being spun.
I am not the one arguing that, the libertarians (Cato) are.

I fully acknowledge that these ideals must play some semblance of a role in creating laws where reasonable, with the possible exception of a “free market”, but that’s only because even regulated markets are horrible, evil institutions, so letting it be even more free is fundamentally idiotic.

You can call it a “strawman” all you like. Grafton demonstrates that it’s not a strawman at all. Libertarians actually believe this, and they actually argue that the issue is that grafton wasn’t libertarian enough (narrator: that wasn’t the problem).

> Freedom of speech is not freedom of consequences

Why do people always say this? Yes, it’s true - and it’s also just flexing your power and ability to crush any speech you deem should have “consequences”.

Free speech advocates are trying to push for a consistent, fairly applied position (which is very noble but imo untenable - I’m not a free speech advocate) and often met with a response that’s essentially “you have no power and I do, so if I dislike what you’re saying I’m going to crush you”.
... yes and no?

It's debatable.

Imminent exhortations of others to break the law should be illegal.

Past that, it's a slippery slope to pre-arresting people for thought crime.

As abhorrent as some of the language is, it seems... dicey... if the US had simply banned gangster rap, NWA, fuck-the-police style music. And it's a tenuous line from threat to actual violence.

Which is why "credible" is usually the standard for charging. I.e. did you make a threat and take actions to realize the threat?
Show HN: Visualize the entropy of a codebase with a 3D force-directed graph
Hi HN! I'm Gabriel, the author of dep-tree (https://github.com/gabotechs/dep-tree), and I wanted to show off this tool and explain why it's being really useful at my current org for dealing with code complexity.

I work at a startup where business evolves really fast, and requirements change frequently, so it's easy to end up with big piles of code stacked together without a clear structure, specially with tight deadlines. I made dep-tree [1] to help us maintain a clean code architecture and a logical separation of concerns between parts of the application, which is accomplished by: (1) Visualizing the source files and the dependencies between them using a 3D force-directed graph; and (2) Enforcing some dependency rules that allow/forbid dependencies between different parts of the application.

The 3D force-directed graph visualization works like this: - It takes an entrypoint to the codebase, usually the main executable file or a library's entrypoint (index.js, main.py, etc...) - It recursively crawls import statements gathering other source files that are being depended upon - It creates a directed graph out of that, where nodes are source files and edges are the dependencies between them - It renders this graph in the browser using a 3D force-directed layout, where attraction/repulsion forces will be applied to each node depending on which other nodes it is connected to.

With this, properly decoupled codebases will tend to form clusters of nodes, representing logical parts that live together and are clearly separated from other parts, and tightly coupled codebases will be rendered without clear clustering or without a clear structural pattern in the node placement.

Some examples of this visualization for well-known codebases are:

TypeScript: https://dep-tree-explorer.vercel.app/api?repo=https%3A%2F%2F...

React: https://dep-tree-explorer.vercel.app/api?repo=https%3A%2F%2F...

Svelte: https://dep-tree-explorer.vercel.app/api?repo=https%3A%2F%2F...

Langchain: https://dep-tree-explorer.vercel.app/api?repo=https%3A%2F%2F...

Numpy: https://dep-tree-explorer.vercel.app/api?repo=https%3A%2F%2F...

Deno: https://dep-tree-explorer.vercel.app/api?repo=https%3A%2F%2F...

The visualizations are cool, but it's just the first step. The dependency rules checking capabilities is what makes the tool actually useful in a daily basis and what keeps us using it every day in our CI pipelines for enforcing decoupling. More info about this feature is available in the repo: https://github.com/gabotechs/dep-tree?tab=readme-ov-file#che.... The code is fully open-source.

The Python code here is essentially just pseudocode. In reality, if you build a Python Macaroon implementation, you'd pull in pyca/cryptography and use an actual AEAD, rather than rolling your own authenticated cipher out of pure HMAC. But the point is that this isn't real code, just enough to make the concepts concrete.
What am I missing here? "Die slow" is certainly in poor taste, but it is not a death threat nor is it a call for violence. It seems clear to me that it expresses a wish for the target to die slowly (and presumably painfully or uncomfortably) when they do end up dying. It's childish and mean spirited, but it's clearly not a threat. I'm more afraid of the chilling effect that punishing this sort of harmless speech has than I am of allowing it to continue through inaction.
>I'm quite confident that telling an audience of 400,000 that you want a few named people to "Die slow motherfuckers" is on the wrong side of that line.

Then why are we trusting the person to make a rational choice? By that logic, X should simply disallow using certain words when your audience is > 400,000. Because anyone can get incited for violence when they read certain words as you claim.
Stuff like this a harbinger of the types of game that will start coming out of LLMs IMO - things that haven't necessarily _not_ been done before, but things where an LLM can act as a core weakly-type "kernel" that can be run to generate new output from arbitrary input. The people pointing out the prior examples are sort of missing the point, as all those require explicitly declaring the bounds of the game, whereas the bounds here are more a limitation of LLM understanding instead of direct effort to declare valid interactions.
Ok, but you have to view this through the lens of what was on the market at the time and what kind of expectations Intel likely would have had. I can't imagine that Apple told Intel what they were planning. Therefore, it would have been reasonable to look around at the state of what existed at the time (basically, iPods, flip phones, and the various struggling efforts that were trying to become smartphones at the time) and conclude that none of that was going to amount to anything big.

I'm pretty sure most people here panned the iPhone after it came out, so it's not as if anyone would have predicted it prior to even being told it existed.
Lock him up.
I'm not sure the overton window applies too much to economic policy in the US at this point; it's essentially hardline liberal capitalism in the Democrats, and liberal captalism with a kleptocracic chaser in the Republican party. Like I said, the entire US political system is united in its unquestioning faith in liberal capitalist economics, the window is very narrow. Democrats will make overtures towards unions, but will never step up to support them when it comes to policy.

As for social policy, it is heading to the right, gaining momentum in the years leading to Trump and making steady gains since. I would characterize the social overton window in the US as the Democrats nailing the left end of the window the wall and Republicans systemically dragging the right end further and further right.
I studied that code and the comment for a good 10 minutes. As far as I can tell it just obfuscates, and is not actually implementing authenticated encryption. It would help to just come out and say that part out loud.
This is a clone of Little Alchemy, a game (that I happen to know about because it's made by someone I know and respect) that's been out for about a decade. https://littlealchemy.com/

It's fine to clone existing games as a gamedev exercise and/or to iterate meaningfully on the design, and to be fair, maybe this game does the latter. However, it is good to pay respects to the shoulders you build on. Little Alchemy is not so well known that this is like making a game called Tetrizz.
