Tandem Health | Software Engineers | On-site in Stockholm, Sweden | Full time

We’re using generative AI to automate medical documentation so that clinicians can spend more time with patients. Founded 8 months ago, we’re already live with dozens of clinics all over Sweden, growing rapidly (onboarded >10 new clinics during the last month), and are now gearing up for expansion to new markets.

We’re a small team with an audacious mission - health care represents 10% of GDP and 30% is spent on administration, of which 43% can be automated. The impact will be huge. We believe that with our team’s strong understanding of the healthcare space in Europe and a fantastic engineering team, we will be the team that does it.

And until we can measure impact in terms of % of GDP, it’s already incredibly fulfilling to go to a care centre and meet clinicians that love our product. The impact is very real!

We’re currently looking for generalist engineers. Experience with health-tech, frontend, infrastructure, security, LLMs or ASR is especially meritorious.

If you think this sounds exciting, please reach out to me at john.moberg@tandemhealth.se and let’s explore a fit!
Once you recognize this you see it all over the place in kids toys. The current "toy record player" for example uses this - the "grooves" in the disk are just to press the switches in the "arm".

This one: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Fisher-Price-Classics-Record-Play... (the old 1978 one was just an actual "record" player).
Thank you for two things: first thank you for correcting my error is saying "all the MI300" is going to supercompute, I am aware that a few groups are doing awesome stuff with making the platform available to mortals.

Second, thank you for being one of the people trying to make the platform available to mortals. As Sheryl used to say when someone did the right thing: "You're doing God's work."

Is there a link or a mailinglist or something that I can watch for how to get access when it becomes available? I'd like to have `HYPER // MODERN // AI` support the platform well.

edit: It's in your profile. I will check it out tonight. Keep it up!
>ubiquitous restroom access.

I think the antithesis of Japan would be NYC, where even as paying customer many locations don't have accessible facilities.

If you think the reason your city/subway "smells like piss" isn't because of lack of restrooms, then you're wrong councilperson.
Plenty of global health emergencies don't make it to developed countries. There are 3 ongoing such designated events right now.

COVID is one. Can you name the other two?
This is if you send through banks, but if you use payment systems, such as Arbonum, it will be fast and profitable, they have a small commission.
Yeah zstd is nice on its own, but a proper dictionary will give you several times the compression ratio on top of that, plus super fast decompression. It's just absurdly good for specialized data.

Hello! I'm Marwan, a software engineer with 4 years of experience in modern full-stack development. I'm the co-creator of Pennant, an open-source collaborative computational notebook. Additionally, I actively contribute to the open-source community, with recent efforts focused on enhancing ZenML's MLOps framework. At ZenML, I developed the "ZenML Studio" VSCode extension to streamline developer workflows, and also worked on implementing a comprehensive testing framework for AWS Deployments. I'm actively seeking roles that offer technical challenges and align with my skill set.
NATO is calculated to avoid protecting overseas colonialism, including pacific islands colonies.
Oh I'm not saying the US is in any way special in that case. Most countries nowadays are defacto dictatorships for their workers.

Also a gentle reminder that most of your rights were gained through violence. It's a sad fact, but peaceful protests and sending gentle letters to your representatives is rarely effective. Debates are great and functional only when there is a little power asymmetry between the involved parties. Otherwise the US didn't gain its independence from Great Britain just by whining about it in London lol.
Hi! I'm probably not your target audience here, unless you're specifically developing a product that targets math education for midlife washouts, lol. But if you want some rando dude's opinion, sure, I'd be happy to jump into a call with ya. Just let me know and I'll find a slot on your Calendly.

But I think you'd get better feedback from someone who's actually in your target audience/user demographic :) I'm just an annoying grumpy gramps who hates math.
If you look at the flu seasons, I think one of the lessons is that relatively modest behavioral and infrastructural changes could radically reduce harm from respiration-transmitted diseases. However I think it's a lesson that went mostly unlearned.

The future I was expecting was a strong increase in ventilation, widespread adoption of CO2 measurements in public spaces (in the same way we measure temperature and humidity now), and experiments with things like UV to reduce disease particle viability. Along with behavioral changes, like staying home when sick, some continued use of masking, and use of mRNA techniques so people get something like quarterly vaccines that cover all the diseases we're trying to keep in check.

What I instead got was an anti-science politicization of reasonable public health measures that 20 years ago would have been inconceivable. And then a giant collective shrug where we see plenty of ongoing death and a continuing rise of long Covid such that we have millions partly or wholly disabled. Including with brain fog, a symptom that I, as a programmer, would fine particularly devastating.
As a team we use
- NextJS (AppRouter) for the UI, TailwindCSS + shadcn ui
- Custom CMS built on top of Strapi for the backend
- We use self-hosted GitLab and for every project we have CI/CD by default.
- For every project (even simple landings) we use server from Contabo. It’s like 6$ for 6GB RAM and 400GB SSD
- Everything is dockerized and gets deployed using gitlab-runner.
- Traefik is used as reverse-proxy
- Minio is used as a storage (with some tweaks for caching)
- Postgres is DB of choice

Everything lives as scripts. Only Next UI is developed from scratch for each customer.
I wouldn’t be surprised if actually it’s just a ChatGPT prompt “What google search autocomplete would return for this query:”

seems easier than reverse engineering/scraping google search autocomplete
Isn't a large part of software development's difficulty that people can't actually do that?
I wonder how much of that is basic economics? In a hot market, juniors get hired to fill a role with the idea that OJT will bring them up to speed soon enough to be better than an empty chair. When there are plenty of applicants, companies can be more selective.

My advice to new grads: Internships!!! Think ahead and use a couple summers to prove yourself to one or two potential employers. Where I work, a lot of our NCG pipeline is intern-driven.
Read the actual report, that is not what it says. In fact, the report makes the opposite case for the most part (especially when electronics were also being interfered with and many of them developed holes in their ear drums.) The issue is that bar is so high for proof that the US government, at least publicly, dismissed it possibly to make Americans not freak out. This is all covered in the piece, and it also places people from the GRU at locations where this occurred, and they coincidentally are in a unit that works on microwave length weaponry. Could it be a huge coincidence? Maybe? But I've never heard of anyone developing holes in their ear drums from work stress.
Can anecdotally confirm. I've had 100% surviving hives and continuous queen lineage now for 6-7 years. Before that I did minimal mite treatments (powdered sugar washes are nuts) and had 75% of hives abscond every year requiring new queens. My "neighbors" (>2mi away) rarely have a single hive survive a single winter.

My preference is to alternate "natural" thymol/oxalic treatments with Apivar. You can really see the reduction in virus laden malformed bees in a hive turnover (~6 weeks). Apivar treatment lasts a full year, but I'd rather not develop resistance (don't leave strips in the hive longer than 8 weeks!) so alternate years. The best time I've seen for treatment is right before large population booms (since there are fewer mites in brood). That usually means early winter after supers are removed, or after a queen swarm leaves in late winter/early spring.

One major challenge to resistant queens is that they tend to be more aggressive and their resistance is diluted unless you requeen (resistant) every year or two due to interbreeding with local non-resistant drones.
The art comes from the querying engine and statistics and the time of day and if I’ve sacrificed a goat or not. Okay maybe not those last two but there’s still some nuance to this engine to engine.
Alright, that's what I thought. I believe iDIN would come closer, though that's bank-based rather than government-based.

I don't think the Australian system introduced in the linked article is comparable to the card-based Digid system; the risks and benefits of a system where companies can authenticate people using government ID are very different from just authenticating to (semi) government.
This immediately reminded me of a quote, of US President John F. Kennedy:

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
A dual core Skylake i3? Yikes, I wouldn't get anyone to pay for that in 2024 to use into the future long term as their main PC, on account of how bloated the web is and how slow it can make such a old low end CPU. That's slower than many smartphones today. But if you could get it for free I wouldn't complain.

I gave my parents my old Skylake and it's reasonably usable but that's an i5 quad core and for me that's where I draw the line.

I'm sure others will disagree and say how they're still running core 2 duos and they're perfectly fine, but that's just my opinion, and you can have yours.
What’s the mL unit?
... and how might one find the "right" places for that. lol. i just code holed up like a rat haven't really joined communities for it but yk

> I think there's a low-effort solution to GP: Just split off the notification function for now.

100% agree that some of the functionality could be decoupled, and either the project should provide independent helper libs or at least do a better job of documenting the interfaces.

In this specific case, the notification interface is documented (and there's client implementations in a bunch of languages).

Tough conversations pay off: moving from EM to IC
He literally squandered the last 10 years of his life working on absolutely nothing for Zuckerberg. And only after the rest of the world innovated on AI (transformers, etc) did he clearly feel embarrassed and had to proclaim he's going to focus on AGI in a "one-up" way.
I haven't had a chance to look at this thread - someone emailed about it a minute ago. I'll take a look later.

In the meantime I've moved this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39867290 to the one it was intended to reply to.
What indexes give you O(n)? IIRC btrees are o log n.
Ah, so if you are using encryption on a digital mode like DMR or P25 for example, they have very distinct sound and appearance over the air. Its pretty unmistakable as common digital modes can be identified by ear by experienced Hams. So if I am listening on my SDR and pickup a digital transmission on a ham band I can try to identify and decode it. If I am confident I've correctly identified the mode being used and I can't decode it then its probably encrypted. Some modes like DMR even carry some information unencrypted when the transmission is. So its still possible for someone without the key to correctly identify the transmission even if they can't hear what's been said.

Trying to hide a transmission as background noise would be very difficult. I wouldn't say impossible but it wouldn't be easy. The modern technique is low probability of intercept, LPI. Which uses a combination of techniques including very rapid and complex frequency hopping as well as well as beam forming and making the transmission as efficient as possible to limit the required power. The lower power, and more more directional your transmission, the less likely someone unwanted will be able to pick it up unless they are between you and the intended recipient.
I recently did a similar set of upgrades. I wanted to create a Mac OS 9 computer for my son. So, I bought three untested G4 Mac minis (Late 2005) after learning that there is now a version of Mac OS 9 that has been hacked to run on them:

http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?board=127.0

When they shipped they were Mac OS X only. They are actually, with this hack, some of the fastest machines you can get to run Mac OS 9.

Anyway, I cleaned them, installed SSDs, changed the clock batteries, and maxed out the RAM on all three of them. I'm keeping the fastest 1.5 Ghz one for my son and the other two (1.25, 1.33) I thought I might keep as backups but I guess I'll just sell them on eBay since now I'm comfortable enough working in these that I think I could fix his pretty easily if anything went wrong.
nvm thought it was bugged. user issue not code
Humans can also function as electrical computers… you probably mean digital computers?

It's baffling in retrospect how Google couldn't recognize the strategic opportunity of Google Code.
> But now I'm hearing stories that companies are not even looking at self-taught Software Engineers.

Same boat for me down to self taught and entry 10 years ago, I just avoided the management path.

I've had companies flat out reject me (for mid level roles) due to not having a SWE degree, even though I literally have 10+ years of professional experience in the area they're hiring for. I can only imagine self taught and no degree would get laughed out of the room most of the time now unfortunately.
Another one - apparently Linus Tech Tips turned down $100m.

What's a 'DR' in this context?

A big part of someone's identity is how they think others perceive them. So, I guess it kinda makes sense that it was something they were especially concerned about.

They compare it with broadband to come with big numbers such as million times bigger, but actually it could be a mere doubling of fiber capacity?

> 4.5 million times faster than the average home broadband.

> alongside the commercially available C and L-bands, we used two additional spectral bands called E-band and S-band

anyone have better sources?
Some of the suggestions in this thread are completely nuts. If you are building a traditional marketing website for a client, you're doing your client a disservice if you don't use a CMS or hosted platform like Wordpress, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify etc. You should be delivering something to them that it easy to maintain and document. If they need to get somebody in to help in 5 years, they shouldn't need to find a be full-stack web-app developer.

Show HN: Monkeytype, but for programmers (coding wpm test)
hi! I’m a 17 y/o dev and I made this so I could show my wpm in code rather than just normal text :)

this was my first project that I made awhile back but wanted to share it today. I used React and got the LeetCode samples by webscraping a site that had all the solutions. you can read more about the site in the "about" page.

Databricks claims its open source foundational LLM outsmarts GPT-3.5
I use Django for basic sites and complex web-apps.

Some sites are dead simple, with an SQLite data store, and static content served directly. Some apps are running on AWS ECS, auto scaling up to hundreds of VMs in response to bursty workloads.

Generally though, I’m running docker compose for local development environments, and docker swarm in production. (Until autoscaling requires something like ECS)

Docker makes it easy to define everything in code. (A redis instance, worker instances vs web instances, db, etc)
I was also serprised
See this is what I find interesting. Some do others just say the DB is this idiosyncratic thing that sometimes does Z and sometimes does Y.
They had explicit consent to do it?

I've had multiple friends and family die from this so-called nothing burger. My mother's heath will never be the same, she is now consigned to a wheelchair. Your statement is inflammatory and unhelpful, it does not advance the conversation, and is a provable falsehood.
Their list of domains is huge. I wanted an easy toggle.
If I'm making less than someone else doing the same job, I don't feel that I've been hoodwinked. I negotiated a rate that I found acceptable, and so did they. Nobody was deceived.
They want it as a standard option (pre-shipped with all decompressors). Not something they could incorporate into a customized fork / client that uses zstd with their own extensions.

Fair, you are correct, i was mixing up c and d.

Then the part they elided from d comes into play:
"unless such communication is intercepted for the purpose of committing any criminal or tortious act in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States or of any State."

Unfair trade practice (and other things count here) since it doesn't have to be criminal, only a civil violation :)

That certainly helps with not having to deal with the undocumented (?) Google API yourself. The following is what chrome would use to perform autocomplete searches:

The Beatles did experiment a lot though. A lot of their songs have very obscure chords and modifications for their time when it wasn’t easy to find information.

Not supposed to be used long term, but sometimes they are, I personally know two people who are on corticosteroids long term because nothing else works. You're right though, it's all a calculated risk because untreated disease can be life threatening, in addition to being debilitating.

Don't be naive. Regardless of the propaganda they might try to push, the Houthis are engaged in indiscriminate terrorism as Iranian proxies and have attacked vessels owned and operated by multiple nations regardless of links to Israel. They hit the Chinese / Panamanian tanker MV Huang Pu.

There's also the implied "we know this is essentially a standard and there are documented ways to receive the signal from the 2+ main browsers that everyone uses, because we called it by name"

I too believe it's likely just copypasta because this is everywhere, but until changed it is still their official stance soooo....
It's not surprising. Most newspapers(and political parties) are owned by capitalists, and therefore defend Capital, so it's not surprising to see that most people don't like unions. None of us are immune to propaganda after all, even more if it comes from a reputable source.
It's normal for companies to pay for referrals based on personal familiarity, but not for candidates to pay for fake recommendations. Outside of a fully disclosed consultancy-type arrangement, it is unacceptable for the candidate to pay anything to the referrer.
