There is some discussion about the long tail of patients who don't get better, but from the article, this machine seems like it has lead to some incredible outcomes. Better respiratory illness recovery for extreme cases, better ability to recover from some cardiac arrests, etc.

Additionally, for most long term patients, the reason they exist on the machine is because a lack of organs for transplant. There is little hope for more organs now, but in the future modified pig organs seem like a possibility for people that could really transform the ability to save peoples lives.

Like it is nice that we can have ethics questions about this machine, and hopefully it can give some terminal patients the chance to find their own peace.
I do not understand this setup after reading one time.. Is it possible that by law, the Insurance industry has to price based on median life span.. but that certain demographics are very likely to live longer, therefore making some small chance for arbitrage ?
Daemontools was pretty popular with greybeards, actually. But yeah, daemontools/runit/s6 and company have always been for handcrafted server setups, where the thing about init scripts and unit files is that they're a standard thing a package can supply and have work out of the box with minimal tweaking across distros.

Any serious challenge to systemd nowadays is probably going to have to at least offer compatibility with it. No one is going to rip it all out and start over again (again).

V2 of Free Emails-Verifier.xyz (API)
Hi everyone,

Since this post’s feedbacks (https://www.reddit.com/r/Emailmarketing/s/BT6etgTDpl), I have released a new version of this Emails-Verifier.

This new release will please especially developers because it’s now possible to use via an API.

Just go to the website and you will see API Section, and go through

Next releases which will come sooner :
- Bulk Emails verifying : File/Lists
- Release this project as open-source
- Ability to detect disposable emails

My unique goal is to keep this tool for free without any registration

Excited to check your feedbacks about it

For simple JIT-based but fully self-contained binaries, without adding any properties to .csproj, the command is a bit mouthful and is as follows

dotnet publish -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:PublishTrimmed=true -o {folder}

(you can put -p: arguments in .csproj too as XML attrs in <PropertyGroup>...)

This will give you JIT-based "trimmed" binary (other languages call it tree shaking). You don't need to specify RID explicitly unless it's different from the one you are currently using.

For simple applications, publishing as AOT (without opting in the csproj for that) is

dotnet publish -p:PublishAot=true -o {folder}

Add -p:OptimizationPreference=Speed and -p:IlcInstructionSet=native to taste.

I'm not sure if this answers your question but the last 2 companies I worked at (~7 years) both had very clear traffic spikes 9a-5p US east coast hours on weekdays. My current place actually sees more than 20-30% drop sunday nights compared to monday morning, and it's constantly going up because we have a lot of American enterprise customers.

Hey, this is excellent. Thanks for the thorough response.
Presumably because it uses different options and other different stuff, it has a different name. However, it might be useful to have a command "sudo" which emulates the options of sudo so that you can still use the same "sudo" command on systemd-based systems as well as on non-systemd-based systems. I don't really know how well that would work, though.
It's been something like 5 years with no significant improvement to UX and library management. Loading your library is clunky and slow. Playlists are a nightmare to manage because you can't create any folders or organization.

I'm so annoyed with Spotify, but my library of 5k songs is tied up there, and I'm not a big fan of the alternatives that tend to be missing artists I want. It's so time-consuming to try to collect my own personal library of all this music.

If anyone has suggestions or reccs for ways to migrate from Spotify, I'm open to options.
Nobody is having their internet shut off today. A more accurate headline might say that some people may not be able to afford unsubsidized internet.
Eh, that's one possible reading, but their actual take is more nuanced than that:

> The word "transpiler" propagates the misunderstanding that there is something special about a compiler that emits machine code, that requires some special "compiler" techniques for special "compiler" purposes that are not necessary for "transpiler" purposes because "transpiling" requires a completely different set of techniques.

In context of the parent comment I read this to be a reaction to someone insisting that we use "transpiler" instead of "compiler"—more an observation of what is happening here than a call to stop using the word altogether.

Well, he is using code as a tool, as a mean to reach his goals. I believe this is the best way to write code, after all. Should almost be the only sensible way. It's just that in 2024, having a programming job is 90% of times doing things you don't care with tools you don't want to use. The problem is not programming itself.

It's fun to think about a technical solution that if implemented by the state and porn websites it would be privacy preserving, I have a hunch some form of cryptography can be part of this solution. some form of cryptography that would allow the website to check if something like a hash of a state identification number is of a real ID number, but this hash-like thing would not allow the website nor the state to know to what ID number it belongs to (e.g. with a database lookup of the hash), it would allow them only to know that it belongs to some real/actual ID number.

does anybody know of any form of cryptography that would allow anything like this?
Yeah, I mean, that's the joke.

The comment I replied to, "a huge class of problems that's extremely difficult to solve but very easy to check", sounded to me like an assertion that P != NP, which everyone takes for granted but actually hasn't been proved. If, contrary to all expectations, P = NP, then that huge class of problems wouldn't exist, right? Since they'd be in P, they'd actually be easy to solve as well.

It is really that difficult.

Plus, it helps to have a neck to wring when it turns out that a slightly wrong left join deep in the data reporting pipeline means that you just told the CEO/Board/Wall Street materially incorrect numbers...

Also the part about data analysis is understanding the data and any nuances. Databases tend to be the place where all of an organization's pathologies over time get encoded, so sometimes column names mean a totally different thing then their name, and it's stupid, but it would take too much politics to change so nobody does, and updating the documentation would mean admitting the work around so it's all informally passed around amongst the analysts...
I have heard the sentiment before that ICU doctors would rather die than go through the ICU. Couple this with PTSD being a common side effect from ICU care and it starts to make a picture that maybe death is just the way to go.
I'd like to see some qualification of "Good enough", "Good enough for what exactly?" - what priority/stakeholder/scenario are you using for deciding when it's "good enough"?

Is it good enough to enable users to get their work done?

Is it good enough to make a profit?

Is it good enough to satisfy investors?

Those all lead to quite different outcomes.

Are you measuring tokens/sec or words per second?

The difference matters as generally in my experience, Llama 3, by virtue of its giant vocabulary, generally tokenizes text with 20-25% less tokens than something like Mistral. So even if its 18% slower in terms of tokens/second, it may, depending on the text content, actually output a given body of text faster.

You are suggesting that if software developers willfully refuse to implement measures to detect CP-1252 in CSVs, instead insisting on assumign UTF-8 even though they know that will result in lots of corruption with data from the most popular producer of CSVs -- you are suggesting that will be pressure on MS to make it output in UTF-8 by default instead?

ECMO is used by emergency service in Paris and they it bring to the patient wherever he is having a cardiac arrest. This is really changing how many people will survive a out of hospital cardiac arrest, as a lot of people saved can resume a normal life (about 40% from 6% without it)

The author isn't wrong. Europe is falling behind, and people should not pretend it's a good thing: the current European life style ("more to life than work") depends on excessive interests gained from technological advancements that are not yet replicated elsewhere. The life would be much worse if Europe couldn't keep up.
I've never understood the need for sudo(1) on single-user, physical machines: I keep a root shell (su(1)) around for admin tasks, and it's always been sufficient.
Oh, wow. I am always somewhat worried about the uncontrolled costs when deploying my personal projects to any cloud. I would freak out if I saw an invoice like this. This is why I like rate limiting stuff, authenticating the users before using any significant resources, etc. But, eventually there is always a risk of a kind of "DDoS", I guess. And there isn't even anything malevolent here.

I wonder if other cloud providers (GCS on GCP, Backblaze, etc.) bill similarly.

Not if you need to send a message to $thatUniquePhone.

Over simplifying considerably, but if a land line places a call to a mobile, the "220-1234 calling for 220-7890" message enters the network. The `220-7890` phone number needs to map to the unique modem address so you can look up which tower the call setup data should be sent to. If - by sheer coincidence - I also have your MAC address and am attached to a tower 3 states away... which tower(s) do you forward the call setup data to?!
Definitely helps. Should be able to detect the charset from the Excel metadata, at least.

Of course, if that charset uses code points not available in your app's native charset, then you're kind of back to square one (unless your use case tolerates garbled or missing data).
I mean that countless people going forward will be saved by this. Some people will become ICU bound walking corpses. It’s an incredible technology that will have profound benefits for humanity.
Community-written abstracts also have their merits too. The author's perspective might be limited to their area of expertise and is therefore biased. That perspective can be normalized by the more nuanced interpretations from the community.

Ask HN: Replacing Cloudflare Durable Object with Hibernate WebSocket for Hetzner
So like the title says im looking at Hetzner's 6 core, 64GB ram for running uWebsocket.js (maybe ill try Bun/Elysia for a small performance hit but tryna squeeze every bit of performance) after I learned how expensive cloudflare durable objects would be (with Hibernate) for 1 million websocket connections (sending 1 message per minute):

Requests:

10,000 WebSocket connections * 100 Durable Objects to establish the WebSockets = 1,000,000 initial WebSocket connection requests.

10,000 messages per minute * 100 Durable Objects * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 30 days = 43,200,000,000 requests.

1,000,000 + (43.2 billion requests / 20 for WebSocket billing ratio) = 2,160,010,000 million requests.

(2.16 billion requests - included 1 million requests) * $0.15 / 1,000,000 = $324.00.

Compute Duration:

100 Durable Objects * 100 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 30 days = 432,000,000 seconds (since now each DO is active for 100 seconds per minute).

432,000,000 seconds * 128 MB / 1 GB = 55,296,000 GB-s.
(55,296,000 GB-s - included 400,000 GB-s) * $12.50 / 1,000,000 = $686.20.

Estimated Total:

Requests: $324.00

Compute Duration: $686.20

Minimum $5/mo usage fee.

Total Estimated Monthly Cost: $1015.20.

Now Hetzner's 64gb ram/6-core server costs $40 euros / month should be able to handle 1 million connections here with uWebsocket.js but keep in mind this is the absolute bare minimum and im being conservative (since theoretically 64gb = 6.4 million connections)

Are my calculations/expectations correct here?

Feels a bit scary since I've been on the "cloud" for over a decade, have to look at PaaS/hardening box but the cost savings here is immense.
On HN you can't downvote a direct reply to your own comment, so vuln did not downvote your reply.
I feel the article makes ECMO sounds like a viable common treatment for lung ailments. I have personal experience with ECMO.

Disclaimer: I have no medical training. But I have had two loved ones in ECMO in my life.

An adult age 48 and a premature infant that weighed a little over 600 grams at birth.

The adult died after a very successful month in ECMO during routine change of tubes. Bled to death after a ruptured artery.

The infant survived and is thriving today.

ECMO is highly specialised, very expensive, incredibly intrusive and also requires large amounts of blood plasma. Blood plasma is not an abundant resource.

Just the cost is almost twice that of a standard, expensive cancer treatment.

"The mean estimated total hospital costs, including pre- and post-ECMO procedures, was 213,246 USD".
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19699650/#:~:text=Results%3A...).

Cancer treatment cost example

https://www.asbestos.com/featured-stories/high-cost-of-cance....

So adding to the dangers of using ECMO it is also very very costly.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to promote ECMO as casually as this article does.

Ansible is declarative?

In puppet and saltstack you can declare that a folder is empty and declare a specific file in this folder. The system's smart enough to delete all the files except the one.

To achieve such feat in ansible is hard. Easiest way is to have two tasks, one deletes everything and second recreates your file. Doesn't feel very declarative

Unrelated thing, they don't even try to be declarative in ansible E.g you can have a file with state "touch". It not a state if it updates each playbook run!

Know that the reason why it's illegal in so many places to begin with is because of the US. Weed wasn't really an "issue" anywhere. Until the US drug war began and spread to other countries thru international narcotic treaties.

Obviously there are outliers and certain cultures where domestic policy was also heavily at play (Japan). But many European countries didn't view weed as particularly problematic.
You can get a job in game dev the same way you get a job in tech in general but this is highly dependent on the current state of the labour market.
