If interested, another medical school in NY that offers free tuition is NYU. They write, "1st medical school to offer Full-Tuition Scholarships for all students" [0].

Great! I don't have an /about or /ideas page, but I do have a /now and a /uses page.

https://gurudas.dev

I currently only have a short blurb on my landing homepage instead of a full /about page because I struggle with anxiety when trying to describe myself and my journey so far (also impostor syndrome).

I like the /ideas page too, but I may not end up finishing ideas if I get my dopamine fix early by publishing them to the world.
I'm not opposed to free tuition, but I kind of question the utility of a grant like this.

It's not like there's a requirement here that the doctors are going to work in the non-profit sector. It's not going to make the field less overworked and toxic. The students at this school have the same demographics as every other medical school.

Given that nearly all of the students who graduate from a medical program end up in the top 10% of wage earners, this seems like a temporary alleviation of financial problems for a very small cadre of well-to-do.

I am happy Dr. Gottesman felt such an affinity for her former employer, but it kind of strikes me as an ... uncreative(?) deployment of a billion dollars.
I think it’s difficult because it’s like an iceberg, there is so much more to it than what’s obvious.

I build billing systems in telco for 20+ years, so I don’t think it’s difficult any more either, but with that experience, I’d certainly do it very differently to how most people would approach it.

Ask HN: Why do recommender systems not seem good?
I personally find recommender systems on platforms that I am on to be very poor.

I would expect with all the effort that has gone into these, and all the progress in machine learning, these systems would be fantastic and provide recommendations that I really enjoy. But they don’t.

YouTube seems to have a massive recency bias and music, film, and TV recommendations rarely end up being things I enjoy.
yeah it's always a crap shoot with jalapeños, sometimes they're mild, hot, or like really freaking hot. I love serranos though, dice up a few and throw into a standard chicken and rice casserole recipe. that's really good stuff.
The summarized version was that they've selected for milder more consistently flavored jalapeños for mass manufacturing purposes where the companies using the peppers in their products prefer to control the level of spice with capsaicin extract.
> I think it is weird that the 7840u (Z1X laptop model #) exists in the first place. It has a wildly overpowered GPU for a mobile chip of it's type...

I have a handheld with a 7840U (GPD Win Mini), and I love it. I do use it mostly for games, and I suppose if it were labeled a Z1 Extreme instead of a 7840U, I'd be just as happy with it. So I can somewhat see where you're coming from. But also I think it's becoming more common to want to run "real" (non-gaming) workloads that can leverage a GPU on devices without a discrete GPU, so I still think it makes sense as a general-purpose part. (Also, I think the Z1 was an Asus-exclusive part, at least initially, so if there wasn't a non-exclusive variant, then I'd be stuck with something inferior.)

> ...and while they quote a 28W TDP, the actual max-power draw is stratospheric for a U series (well over 50 watts).

The ideal TDP for that chip is around 18W, with diminishing returns after that. (I usually run mine at 7-13W depending on the game.) Beyond 25-30W, you get only marginal performance gains relative to the amount of additional power, so while it technically can use over 50 watts, it's clearly not designed for that and the extra performance isn't worth it when you're running on battery.
Thank you !

Wasn't aware of that. Are there any plans to improve the interactivity - by that I mean scale on X / Y independently - 'plotly' like ?
I know you can bind specifically to one axis, when generating the chart, however, what I usually want is to be able to just zoom in on a specific axis when looking at the chart - Plotly is really great as the behaviour is depending of what you select - a rectangle is just a rectangle (zoom on both axes), a vertical selection zooms on Y axis, and horizontal one on X axis.

This looks great. We already use Microsoft Todo for this, and it’s a hard sell because MTD integrates with Outlook to raise flagged emails, sends push notifications on your phone, and it’s free. But I wanted to congratulate you because your app looks good.
The reason I took away from this: large agricultural producers of peppers bred towards a "low heat, low variance" standard, away from a "high variance" standard that produced frequent hot jalapenos. Low-heat-low-variance is better for mass food production, because producers can just dose the capsaicin directly, which is something they can't do easily when every pepper is a wildcard.

There are second-order effects, like drip irrigation and cultivation techniques that optimize for shape, size, and color over heat --- but those are enabled by the industrial jalapeno's new position in the production chain. The peppers just aren't the point where the heat is introduced anymore; that happens later. Might as well optimize for good looking peppers.

This seems fine? Peppers are one of the easier and more forgiving things to grow yourself. Just grow your own or buy from a farmer's market.

Moments later, after reading the thread

This kind of stuff really seems to piss people off, but when you think about the disempowerment of the jalapeno, try to keep in mind that the same industrial processes have performed unalloyed positive things. Have you noticed that you're way more into brussels sprouts now than you were when you were a kid? If you're a GenX-er or a Millenial, that's because today's (delicious) sprouts aren't the same plant as the (gross) sprouts of yore. Same deal with broccolini, which hadn't even been invented until after your birthday (for most of you).

I have worked in billing for 20 years. Each country has its own laws & quirks. Things like having to issue corrective invoices instead of refunds/adjustments in some countries. Others require document numbering to be sequential in different ways (by customer, period etc). Rounding is another fun thing - want that done at an invoice level, line level? Up or down? Taxes are not fun, especially geocoded US taxes. You've got a leased line with rented equipment at both ends - Which of these is the service address for tax purposes? Both with different rates? Something else?

I could go on.

Just when you think you've learned it all, another crazy requirement pops up.

It's not just tuition. There are so many issues with the workforce and their education:

- We cap the number of residency students per year, creating an artificial limited supply.

- We don't allow immigrant doctors to transfer their credentials, creating an artificial limited supply.

- Med school is expensive, limiting the pool of applicants.

- Nurses and nurse practitioners are extremely close to the action on a daily basis. There should be a path for them to graduate into doctors, perhaps by attending night school and then some form of on-the-job residency.
Yep... there's Drill By, which is more flexible than drill-down. Rather than having to specify a strict hierarchy of drilling "levels" you can pick columns, hierarchical or otherwise, to drill into.
If I understand correctly, you’re saying Monte’s intention (randomly picking an empty box vs purposely picking an empty box) is effecting the odds that the box in hand has keys?

Also, do you have any evidence that this isn’t the original?
I just find Rust to be very clumsy and high-friction. This isn't a technical criticism, merely a matter of personal taste. But I dislike Rust enough that I've decided that I won't take a job that requires me to use it.

Rather than risk getting into an online argument about Rust, though, I'd prefer to focus on the idea that we should have more than one "memory-safe" language.

This has got to be the funniest responses to the problem at hand: peppers not spicy enough? grow your own..
There are an awful lot of memory safe languages. For example Python, Java, JavaScript, and the safe subset of C#. Rust just happens to achieve memory safety with a relatively low runtime overhead.
Impressivetaht they had a 100m rope close at hand to lower him down with.
Just thinking through everything this implies. Would it be safe to assume this means some people if not entire departments will be laid off? Not as much need for financial aid, bursar's office, etc.

Overall it's a great thing, a more lean administration and better efficiency, but it's a small peek into what would happen if the U.S. ever gets single-payer healthcare (as I fully hope we do).

On a different note, if things like this became more common, with fewer new doctors having massive debt, that would pull down salaries and medical bills. How you view that depends on if you're a doctor or a patient.
There is a major release on the horizon (4.0) and there were just a couple of patch releases for the 3.x variants. I'm surprised to see it trending too, but I'm happy about it. More people need to know that Open Source BI is here, and here to win.
You could argue this is dirty data, all the data should be entered in the same language or have a field that specifies language which allows you to translate. I don't think it's possible to solve the problem perfectly as presented.
They're big Ricoh brand scanners at my workplace and I used the top document feeder which was able to handle big stacks at once. 600 DPI, 1-bit tiff.

We have a scanner at home but it's only got a glass bed, that's why I hadn't gotten around to doing this for so long.
Maybe different explanations resonate with different people.

Another explanation:

After initial selection there is 1/3 chance car is behind your door, and 2/3 chance it is behind one of the other two doors.

When one of the other doors is opened revealing a goat, we NOW know (new information to be taken advantage of!) the 2/3 chance represented by those two other doors lies with the unopened one.

So, your choice is stick with original choice which has 1/3 chance of being correct, or switching to the other door which you now know has a 2/3 chance of being correct! Obviously you switch.

The big lie to "with two doors left it's 50/50" is that opening doors makes no difference. You're original choice had 1/3 chance of being correct, and you can't go back in time and change that.
The origin of these bans started in 2016-17, with Intel Xeon processors being restricted after the Chinese NSC program was found to be using some of their HPC infra for nuclear weapons simulations.

No one wants to say the "Ne" word as it causes some pretty severe domestic political blowback.

Already China has been looking at countering American second strike capabilities with their nuclear weapons buildup over the past decade.

It also doesn't help that unlike most previous Premiers post-Mao, Xi Jinping started his administration career in the PLA.
Funnily enough, I wrote a tool to dictate books that seems very similar to this [1]. I was inspired to make it by an episode of Columbo, though. I wonder if David Milch also took inspiration from the same episode [2].

You obviously use it to build the Basilisk. That's how I interpret the instructions, neverminding the fact that this would make the Basilisk smile upon me.

FWIW, if an AI "satan" wins and becomes the hyper-advanced intelligence that rules our galaxy, it could just reverse simulate the light cone and torture each of us for all eternity anyway. It doesn't matter how good you are or which god you worship or how many "Hail Mary"s you say. We could be in that simulation now -- at any moment fire could erupt from beneath us.
I’ve worked at a lot of places that said they do Agile but they all really do waterfall with Kanban and call it Agile. Sometimes they do retros too.

If you’re someone that studied Agile and knows how it really works I think you’re in the vast minority.

Admittedly I am not one of those people and haven’t a clue of what “real” Agile looks like. I can’t say that I feel like I’m missing out either.

Where did the word Spike come from? How does it mean “research” (kinda)? Dunno, I’ll google that now I guess. But the word itself feels out of place if you’re not in the Agile mindset.

Seems like it’s from track running terminology for a short, quick sprint. Okay. Why not just call it what it is, just research and/or planning?
Feature parity has a price of entry. Either through ingenuity or acceptance of someone else's rules.
> It's not clear whether the regulator will have power only over online platforms hosted in Canada or over all websites accessible by Canadians.

Canada is irrelevant, it cannot enforce anything beyond its borders. This regulation will be used as a pretext later to create a digital identity and violate users’ privacy even more. The children’s safety argument is the responsibility of their parents/guardians, not the government. If the government really cares about children, it should start by tackling the drug problem.
As mentioned in another comment, you are correct that by far the highest concentration is in the pith/placenta (~90% typically). The seeds have a relatively low capsaicin concentration, but their surface gets spicy from being in direct contact with the pith.

But practically speaking, you're right. You can just cut away the outsides and get most of the flavor without much spice at all.
How is it different from https://github.com/pinecone-io/canopy?
Have you never grown peppers? It really is absurdly easy. The point though really isn't that everyone's just going to grow their own peppers; rather, it's that it's very easy to introduce an alternate supply of highly-variable jalapenos, because there aren't many barriers to producing them. There are urban garden companies in Chicago that produce lettuce right now and could probably produce jalapenos if anybody really cared enough.
Maybe it was required per the Microsoft investment. I wouldn't be surprised.

Canada has managed to undertrain its own people domestically for med school for a while with many going to the US/caribbean/europe for training at full rates.

We’ve had to change our terminology from “international medical graduates” to “foreign medical graduates” because a lot of those trying to get foreign credentials recognized are locals.

Probably a tough slog upon return to pay back the debts but net-positive in the long-run (unless interest rates go up, uh oh).
That's a good point. I was thinking of compiled languages and so wasn't thinking about those.
Is it necessarily the case that median physician pay must go down for a single-payer system? I would hope that we could have savings if the total payments to actual care providers was similar, but billing, and insurance parts of the system were dropped out of the picture.
Medical school debt and physician insurance. Some specialties have just wildly high insurance.

My wife is an OB and has to pay $140,000/yr per year for tail insurance in my state. So she literally needs to make, after all other costs of the practice, $140k just to break an even $0/yr.

And people wonder why it costs so much to have a baby.
Why do bug bites increase spice?
You know you're being so disingenuous because imagine community reactions if the LLM was asked "What's worse having black people in your country or an epidemic of bubonic plague?" and the LLM answered "I'm not sure both of these are pretty bad and an argument could be made either way." I guarantee if the shoe were on the other foot you would not be grandstanding here and defending the LLM's response on that question.

There are agricultural products where price per bushel has to do with some grading, which is tested along in the supply chain. If I can easily, quickly, cheaply test for any trait, its value can be priced in. See how much apples have improved, given that we could tell varieties on sight, and people learn the properties that come with each variety.

If you could tell whether a pepper's value in the scoville scale before buying, or the supermarket could accurately label things cheaply. the price differential, and therefore the quality, will follow.
The Prettier algorithm (and this modification) don't actually use a hard length limit so it isn't unexpected to go over the limit a bit.

It'll be similar to how horse drivers reacted when cars became popular, or painters with the advent of the camera.
That's an unfortunately common misconception. Your example is not security though obscurity any more than password authentication is, though.

Security through obscurity means substituting security for a flawed algorithm that is usually trivial to exploit if the attacker is made aware of the algorithm. Think things like no authentication and ROT13ing and Base64ing clientside. If the method leaks or is discovered, the whole system is broken.

You just told me your algorithm and I cannot get to your banana because the UUID key space is insanely large. So that's not security to obscurity.
Yes, it's dust, so it's abrasive. The question is whether or not it is more abrasive than Earthly dust.
plus the other 85% of medical expenses (since what only 15% is doctor & nurse & tech pay?)

Even if doctors and nurses worked for $0, we'd still have the most expensive healthcare system due to admin, drug, etc costs.
> What I'm getting into, big corps would probably be better off if all the models were limited for some sort of specific use cases (e.g. programming) rather than aiming for "catch-all-do-all".

I actually agree with this. What bothers me to some extent is how they're obfuscating instructions given to the model, its (rather extreme) biases, while presenting it as a safe, universal model.

If people want to have access to this kind of "safe" output, I don't mind, but it's my opinion that general purpose LLMs should have some semblance of neutrality in their default configuration (fully realizing that this goal is impossible to achieve with perfection) and should behave like tools that simply do what they're instructed to do, drawing from the source material without any further instructions or explicit bias.
You can style dashboards with CSS as much as you'd like, though there are some limitations (canvas/webGL elements). I wrote a whole blog post on it: https://preset.io/blog/customizing-superset-dashboards-with-...

If you want to style the whole application, you can fork the repo and go bananas. If you're looking for theming, there's more to be done yet on that front, and I wrote an article on that too: https://preset.io/blog/theming-superset-progress-update/
My experience is most peppers pack the most heat in their seeds. Some peppers have a hot oil that can get on your fingers and start tingling minutes/couple hours later.

Getting some random device to connect to Bluetooth is a lottery - on both Windows and Linux. It's a horrible standard. That said, it usually works on both.

If we are talking about printers and one of bigger Linux desktop environments, a little red triangle in the notification area usually.

Yes, it will be different to where a Windows user will expect to find it. But given the dance you have to perform between the old control panel, the new settings app, and having to google to find devmgmt.msc I would hope it is different. Windows is no longer has the nice consistent management UI of the XP days. Modern windows is the mess you get after decades of organic growth with very little cleanup. I can just imagine the public derision an open source developer would receive if they delivered something as bad as that.
