No doubt.

I think that admins' interests not aligning with that of patients/consumers or with those of professionals/practitioners is making millions of people sad in a lot of other fields in addition to medicine.

Ben Hunt has written some great essays about this nebulous concept. His phrases "industrially necessary" and "raccoon" come to mind.

Is there a general solution? Dunno. But I suspect crafting even more regulation would be kinda like trying to make Wikipedia better by firing all the content experts and making all the admin-type people write all the words. It wouldn't result in a very good end product.

I seem do my best work when I am left to my own devices and my contact with admin is minimal.

You should only be waiting if someone else is writing. And yes, disallowing any concurrent writes, as SQLite does, is certainly going to be a bottleneck at some point, but unless you have a particularly write-heavy workload, it will probably get you pretty far.
Yeah, this is very similar to my experience and what I wrote in the article. For me it also feels like the structure is discovered as you explore the program and the problem.
Bullies (like the dogs in Animal Farm) tend to be arrogant to the weak and servile to the strong.

It would not surprise me if they were to do well, as current society has many, many, roles for that sort of person.

> “Rather than a punitive approach, there could be more focus on understanding the causes of the disruptive behaviour and teachers could be trained to identify strategies that help children to channel these tendencies in ways that fit better with the classroom.”

Or one could even subtly encourage such behaviour, as one suspects from Orwell's description of his boarding school days in Such, Such Were the Joys.
Honestly, you said "I doubt you do", so this is why I wrote this long answer.

I just visualize the problem on paper. You have this, you want this, and to go from A to B, we need to do this, etc.

Exploratory programming is nothing bad, or what I do is nothing good or exceptional. Humans' brains are wired differently, and as long as we arrive to the point we want, it's all good in my eyes.

There's no superiority in any of the methods. We're just cooking the same food differently. That's all.

That sounds pretty good. Maybe companies targeting their products and services at children shouldn't attempt to enter illegal contracts with them?

We have private healthcare so you need medical insurance for treatment - if you don't then they stabilize you and send you to the nearest state hospital if it is warranted.

State hospital - lots of folks who got stabbed or shot due to alcohol or crime related violence - apparently overseas medical students love to come here to learn all about trauma surgery and getting to stitching people up.

Private hospital - people with babies who have fever or crying and folks with chest pains and in my case a kid who just had seizure - she got first dibs to ER because they triage cases.
Cool! Though it's a bit scary how easy it would be for someone to make something dangerous as mentioned in the nyt article. The 2018 article ends:

>“There are really only two things that could wipe 30 million people off of the planet: a nuclear weapon, or a biological one,” ....

>“Somehow, the U.S. government fears and prepares for the former, but not remotely for the latter. It baffles me.”

I guess we may have seen that kind of thing happen a year later with covid though that would have been government sponsored mucking around rather than DIY if it wasn't natural. Not sure how we stop that happening again?
In Sweden there are two types of ER, real ER and "närakut" which roughly translates to "near care". It works pretty well, the few times I had to go to närakut I waited less than an hour to talk to a doctor.

Just wondering, why does an ER doctor read hackernews?

> It is important not to bullshit yourself when learning Maths. If you don't do exams, there are so many ways to fool yourself into thinking you know what you're talking about.

I am commenting because I want to express my support for that statement.

Unless you can write down all the steps from start to finish, and then reduce them via the necessary abstractions ( what's a theorem if not a correct abstraction ), you can't claim to "know math". Just as you don't "know" physics if you can't do the math, you don't "know" whatever technical field if you don't know the underlying mathematics.

Hunches, intuition, and everything else can be fooled and are imprecise.

The knowledge one has is — in my opinion — evident in the precision one has when speaking about a subject.
I have hated Push MFA since it was introduced.

That is not the intended behaviour, but happens sometimes when the NLP pipeline and the dictionary don’t agree on the part-of-speech of a particular word.

I’ll have to run a script identifying all such cases in the built-in decks and most likely correct them by hand.

It's not even about how much paid/skilled they are.

The new ToS were surely a big project with tens of hours (or more) of research done for it.

Show HN: A static site generator that prettifies the output HTML
I recently stripped out Django from my personal site and converted it to a static site, using `staticjinja`.

I found myself writing a lot of custom code to get my site going because I wanted to use Jinja templating inside Markdown.

Once I was done, I decided to strip out `staticjinja` in favour of my own site generator.

And so Jinjabread was born!
US is the largest capitalistic nation with the largest mega tech corporations. 6 of them above $1T market cap.

We are likely not going to die but the reality is any corporation has no responsibility to hire and pay people well.

A solo founder could very well be running a billion dollar corp with the help of AI employees.

The bitter truth is there will be more automation in the coming years and decades - both physical and digital. The value of the average worker has dropped and will drop.

More wealth will accumulate to those who are already wealthy and own assets, and those who can build what people want.

It’s the new stage of survival evolution. Automate or be automated.
Yep, this is how you can make your own sourdough starter just by mixing some water and flour and leaving it out! Natural yeast spores all around us.
I highly recommend "The Fourth Turning is Here" by Neil Howe. According to the generational theory he co-developed (1):

"The theory states that a crisis recurs in American history after every fourth generation which is followed by a recovery (high). During this recovery, institutions and communitarian values are strong. Ultimately, succeeding generational archetypes attack and weaken institutions in the name of autonomy and individualism, which eventually creates a tumultuous political environment that ripens conditions for another crisis"

We're in a crisis period now. In all his books have provided the best explanation for the highs and lows in American society

If you can't get to the book, just look him up in any podcast or YouTube. But really the books are where the really detailed, convincing evidence lives.

Yeah, sorry if it sounded harsh, what I meant is that I doubt someone hears of problem, gets coding immediately, and a very good result comes out. We need a way of reasoning and investigating the problem for some people is sit and think about the problem, for some people it is writing things down, and for some people is get going with exploratory programming.
You're right about Calhoun- I was actually referring to Dennis Muilenburg, the CEO who was fired in 2019 after the two 737 MAX crashes and the subsequent groundings. My comment wasn't clear enough- I'll edit it for clarity.
There is plenty of corruption and income inequality regardless of money printing velocity. What would be the causal link between them? There was huge corruption in former Eastern/Soviet Block countries where prices were more or less stable. There was huge inequality in gold-standard feudalism.
Maybe that will interest you

Clearly you don't have a degree in engineering.

If you had one, you would know how much you need to suffer to explain to non technical people why a development direction is better than another, and how much it will profit the company in the end.
maximising profits to the point your company goes broke is generally seen as bad business and thus bad for capitalism

im not quite sure where it says in the rules of capitalism to extract all available value out of a good product until it is no longer good

I’m fairly sure a lot of powerful Americans have enjoyed a couple hundred years of good wine and some decadence.
You're seeing public GPs or what kind of doctor? In Melbourne, public bulk billed GPs are hard to book for the same day, the best ones are regularly 1 week away. Private specialties (Endocrinologist, Psychiatrist) are months away. What you're doing that I'm doing wrong?

Windows is complex, and the hardware people run Windows is also complex. Shit can be weird. For one, I had a problem with my Ryzen 5600 CPU and RX-5700XT video card combo. There is some kind of incompatibility between these two, and one that I only experienced in Windows, and only in a few specific games, and only in specific scenarios in those games. One such was looking up on the sky in Anno 1800, a strategy game. Look up the sky, and Windows reboots in one minute.

This experience is rare, evidenced by the many normal benchmarks and gameplays that exist with this, and similar combos. But other people also experienced it, such as this user:

https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/xxrg3h/my_pc_rx_5...

I have since swapped my 5700 xt to a 6600 xt, and the issue went away. The new owner of the 5700 xt is also happy as a clam at high tide. I'd wager that maybe a few hundred of people experienced this at most.
Re: incentives being weird in higher education: we once overheard the director of the CS department respond to complaints about the program not being a good fit for industry by saying, "our job is to create researchers."

Personally it’s always the programs you can generally trust that end up reinforcing the idea. On average you may be far better off trusting comments but that one time they fail you is all the worse because of that trust.

It’s the same deal with compilers and computer hardware. They work so well that they become a blind spot, and yet I’ve had both fail me.
> I’m sure I decline whatever cookie notifications they throw at me (except when some dark patten tricks me),

Okay I retested with a EU VPN and I can confirm it's due to you declining the cookies. If you decline cookies and change currencies, it adds your desired currency to the url as a query parameter, so if you navigate to flights.google.com again you lose it.

>but in any case, that sort of behavior shouldn’t be governed by any privacy-concerning cookies.

In other words:

you: "don't store cookies and data about me"

google: "ok, we won't store cookies and data about you"

you: "why didn't you store my currency?"

Actually if you read the cookie prompt that you declined, it specifically mentions that they use cookies for "personalization" purposes, and that if you decline they will not use cookies for that purpose. Storing your desired currency arguably counts as "personalization" purposes, so I don't really see the issue here.
I disagree (with some evidence) that these things can be successfully
synthesised.

I absolutely concede that they are useful. Leadership needs to be
aware of the whole spectrum of economics, public perception, brand,
international standing etc. And a good leader must know the language
so as to hear and instruct his/her subordinates. But subordinate
that stuff must stay with respect to hard reality.

Evidence is; I taught a bunch of masters business students once. Those
who had absorbed too much "financialisation and business" stuff
constantly got stuck in what I saw as wishful thinking... that their
will alone, or "framing and spinning" could overcome.

I found that very dangerous in digital tech. All the more so in
something like medicine or aeronautics.

I'm fairly serious when I say this stuff can be quite psychologically
harmful, because as I read deeper into the management stuff I found it
"ideological" and inflexible. Much of it still seems rooted in the
1980s and you can almost still hear Thatcher's voice see the shoulder
pads.
Where on earth did you get this idea from? What is a "generic attack"? How could you turn a collision somehow into a pre-image attack? How is many orders of magnitude "twice" ?

twice as difficult ? It doesn't match what you say after that

> Just don't get HP.

The CEO of HP said there is a risk of viruses being transmitted in the ink cartridges:

https://www.wired.com/story/hp-ceo-ink-cartridge-hackers-dyn...

He says you should always buy their special guaranteed virus free ink, but in my opinion it's much easier and safer to avoid the printers completely. You never know when you buy ink online if it's genuine - you could "catch a virus" at any time. It's almost certainly nonsense, but you can't be too careful.
I don't mind paying for a subscription, or watching ads (though prefer to have sub option).

What I do mind is: suited executives shaking hands for exclusivity meaning that if someone wants access to everything they have to use a dozen streaming services. I also hate that you'll pay a subscription for a streaming service and then within that there are additional subscriptions to that service's partners so you end up paying for the base service + Y additional ones. Or paying for streaming and having a selection of the content still cost money to rent. And don't get me started on things being available only in certain regions (also due to the stinking hand shaking).

EU needs to ban exclusivity contracts imo. If Apple make their own content, sure, that could only be on Apple TV. But if Netflix shake hands with HBO on something to make it only available on Netflix...that sort of thing should be illegal.
Where do I send the thank you card?
Whatever their contract with the phone's user says, it many states they also need the consent of the other party of that conversation, which not always will have any agreement with Meta as they may not be a Facebook user. If they don't have consent of both parties in 100% cases where it's required and there is even a single conversation they wiretapped illegally, that would be a crime.

Of course I view you as more than pph. My job would not be very fun if I only viewed you as pph. And another part of keeping my job involves minimizing patients complaining about me to admin, which they would a whole lot more if I only [acted like I] viewed them as pph.

And, in order to allow myself to continue viewing patients who are not you as more than pph as well (and thus keep my job), I also consider a lens of pph. Because if I'm talking to you for an hour about low-carb diets or whatever and you feel like I'm the best doctor in the world, but there are 5 more people in the waiting room in pain that I haven't seen yet because I'm totally focused on you... also not doing my job.

The fact that I use this lens does not limit the services I provide to you or the empathetic positive feelings I share with you as a fellow human. (Or not, if you don't want those feelings. As a certified weirdo, I distrust people who come onto me w/ big outward empathy, personally. But most patients like it in my experience. So I tailor it really depending on who you are.)

Agree that forum is very depressing. Bunch of old ER docs who aren't looking for a way out for whatever reason. Part of the goal of my posts in that thread was to get them to smile a little, but they're too crusty. If I hated my job as much as some of them, I would just quit immediately and go back to programming.

Hmmmm, the specific values stated here is hard to evaluate, but in general one disadvantage of having an organisation without a strongly defined structure is that generally there still is a power structure of sorts. But when it's not explicitly defined it's less open, and generally less deliberately chosen, and harder to understand (especially for those who are good at social interaction), so it can allow sometimes even more pathological behaviours because of the shadowy nature of it, but also even if it doesn't get particularly bad it can make co-ordination much harder.

I've experienced this in some companies I've worked for (one was a very large company where there was an explicit power structure of sorts, but it was not particularly stuck to in practice. It was a consultancy which worked on a variety of different projects, and the way you got onto projects was basically by making friends with the people selling and managing them, not so much through any particular official channel. This worked great if you were good at forming the social network needed to do this, it didn't work so well if you weren't). For other examples, there's "The Tyranny of Structurelessness" which is a talk from a feminist who noticed the same kind of thing happen in the organisations she was in, which generally rejected hierarchy as patriarchal, and you can see similar discussions around how this does/doesn't work in Valve, which also doesn't have a particularly well-defined internal structure. Open-source projects can suffer from the same thing (I would characterise some of the rust drama as stemming from a similar problem).

That said, an explicit power structure doesn't need to be hierarchical, even though that's the 'traditional' business organisation. It's possible Oxide's structure is explicit but non-hierarchical. Also, in general such an approach tends to work better at smaller scales than larger ones. Said consultancy is probably the largest company I'm aware of which still mostly operates in a freeform way there, and they do have a kind of scaffolding which keeps it kinda held in place. And of course, this is more of a spectrum than a dichotomy: even the most rigid of power structures on paper still has some implicit, more complex implicit structure underneath: it's the nature of groups of people.

Don't take this as me believing explicit > implicit in general. This is just me talking about some of the observed disadvantages of less explicit organisation. More explicit power structures have their own problems as well (and there's the related 'seeing like a state'/'legibility' issues there).
From what I've read, the best years were during the "Five Good Emperors" period, so about a century, but even during the civil unrest periods things were OK if you stayed in your villa with your slaves and vineyards (OK relative to the poor, of course).
So the previous crises were the Civil War and the Great Depression/WW2? If so, our current crisis is barely getting started.
