> The hospital said it had “no indication that it was the result of his recent transplant.”

Sorry, the burden of proof goes backwards. When you are doing something this novel and the patient dies so soon afterwards, the null hypothesis is that it had something to do with the transplant and you have to show evidence that it was not due to the transplant.
Remember that nuclear is not that 'dispatchable': you need several hours/days to switch off or ramp up production.

Switch off (curtailment) is almost instantaneous for wind and PV.

And otherwise, batteries, hydropower and gas turbines are dispatchable on the second/minute scale.
Imagine if they are communicating using a lot of pronouns.

I can’t even understand some other people when they keep switching the target of the pronoun without being explicit.

Yes, there isn't (as far as I know) any protocol for AI... yet!
it could be interesting to work on one, I think.
The idea at is core is to enable AI-to-AI communication for agents.
An agent will be an AI entity that governs and knows everything for a "site" (in absence of a better definition)

Imagine my phone agent tying to order some takeaway food on my behalf, if the selling "site" have a standardized endpoint (in addition to the normal http(s) for humans) it may be more easy for the AIs to communicate and complete the task.

AI already demonstrated the ability to evolve their own language and slang, there isn't much to standardize, but nonetheless it is interesting!
It will be message frames like question and answers, plus maybe the possibility to interrupt the counterpart

Messages may be UTF-8 encoded with the possibility to embed contents described by mime-types

As stated, this idea is born from simple experiments, and I was just wondering if there are other people interested in the concept.
In some people it induces paranoia, psychosis and hallucinations, and turns them into violent berserkers.

Seems like a huge and obvious red flag to me indeed. I can't imagine how the authors managed to not even mention the issue in the abstract. If the model is trained on healthy scans, well, yes, it will spit out healthy scans. The whole point of clinical radiology is to get enough precision to detect (potentially subtle) anomalies.
> “A camera is supposed to take pictures of what it sees.”

Feels like that’s just a matter of expectations.

A phone used to be a device for voice communications. It’s right there in the Greek etymology, “phonē” for sound. But 95% of what people do today on devices called phones is something else than voice.

Similarly, if people start using cameras more to produce images of things they want rather than what exists in front of the lens, then that’s eventually what a camera will mean. Snapchat thinks of themselves as a camera company, but the images captured within their apps are increasingly synthesized.

(The etymology of “camera” already points to a journey of transformation. A photographic camera isn’t a literal room, as the camera obscura once was.)
Evolution takes generations. Society might adapt, if given enough time, and assuming that society can survive that long while trillion-dollar companies are incentivized to exploit human emotion in such a destructive way.

Ask HN: Could advanced M-Line chips ever substitute for Nvidia H100s?
I'm researching the AI GPU market landscape...

I don't have the tech background in semiconductors to evaluate this question:

In theory, in (say) 2 years from now, could Mac Servers (with, say M5 Ultras) be used in a data center as a substitute for NVIDIA's H100s?

If so, why isn't anyone other than Apple exploring this direction?

It not, why not?

If you grok the tech, please explain to someone who doesn't. THANK YOU!!!
Reporting is nice but doesn't change anything about the problem. OK so the US knows you are a beneficiary of a trust fund in Switzerland - what can they do about it? It's not you, so they can't tax the wealth. They can tax the income you get from that, but that means the wealth tax mission has failed.
When I read it it was 75, so maybe they did do the study again.
I think this could be useful as a starting point for diagnostics - a cheaper, lower-power device massively lowers the barrier to entry to getting an MRI scan, even if it's not fully reliable. If it does find something, that's evidence a higher-quality scan is worth the resources. In short, use the worse device to take a quick look, if it finds anything, then take a closer look. If it doesn't find anything, carry on with the normal procedure.
The office has its problems as well, btw. Not all the work (especially as a software engineer) are just collaboration. And typical modern offices just suck.

Btw virtual whiteboarding like miro, lucidspark, freeform, work actually quite well.
I don't know how that would have helped. Most languages (including Python, AFAIK) unwind the stack when an exception is thrown, all the way up to the nearest catch. Whatever you wanted to do at the place of throwage is no longer possible because that stack doesn't exist other than as an incomplete printout.

In contrast, Common Lisps condition system keeps all stack between throw and catch so you can resume from anywhere in between, possibly with altered code or local variables.

Basically, Common Lisps exception stack traces are interactive by default.
The reason people are so angry: algorithmic radicalisation aided by short shallow comments like this one.
An MRI machine is a fancy 3D camera. Is this "3D Deep-DSP Model" so different from the processing Samsung did on their phones?
They already use computers to make guesses to clean up the scan.

A core part of processing MRI is the compressed sensing algorithm .

You can’t seriously write an article like this without reckoning with the rise of right wing fear and rage machine in the West. There are no mentions of Murdoch, Fox, or Limbaugh in this article.
No, I don't want to argue, I would like to understand how can anyone think this kind of idea can be implemented in the real world. I just don't see a way.

BTW I was never talking about evasion. No need for that. The wealthy people in government/legislature will never make it bulletproof, there's always a legal way - you might not get to keep 100% but you certainly won't pay 90-100%.

I don't even think it can be made bulletproof - does this mean corporations and funds are limited to 1B in size? What if it's a partnership without exact equity stakes? What if there are multiple people? What if some of them die, and later some are born? What if I get a non-equity obligation from a bank - "transfer all your wealth to us and we will pay out whatever you need up to X/year"?

And now, after you have done this and there are no more superwealthy and no more big corporations and funds, the 10th richest Chinese billionaire comes and buys everything all around the US - job well done? Or does this mean total economic isolation too?
It’s not entirely new. I remember some pretty heated, ugly arguments over Xbox v PS2.
People who refuse to continuously integrate new life experience and prefer to idle under one prestige title or two until they die are wild.

It’s a bit Middle Ages; god king has said this man is named Farmer, so he shall farm for life. A monolithic person.
It make sense to me too. Financial strain, limited opportunities, social exclusion and perceived unfairness can all contribute to heightened stress levels and anger towards life...
It is entirely possible that the hospital knows what happened and why the person died, and are just not sharing it (maybe to respect the family's privacy, for example).

Having said that, I do think you're right, the cause of death should absolutely be shared, otherwise it looks quite dodgy. If he was indeed discharged with "one of the cleanest bills of health I’ve had in a long time", then how could he die so shortly after, and why would there not be more discussion around the specifics?
These aren’t conscious decisions people are making. It’s baked into our chemical systems (read thinking fast and slow for some more context).

Millions of years of survival instincts don’t go away overnight. We are wired to pay more attention to negative things so we don’t get eaten. That wiring is exploited at scale in ways we never dreamed of.

I made the direct comparison to neural nets as it uses a very similar method to them (i.e. using weights as parameters and minimizing a cost function via gradient descent) but is simpler (gets rid of layers, neurons, activation functions, etc).

I never stated "AGI means solving polynomials". Based on how far LLMs have come, function approximation seems to play a role in it.

Well, no. Many of the behaviors associated with it, even the literal diagnostic criteria, are extremely beneficial in our society. It's not just a weird coincidence that many of the most successful tech, engineering and even business figures could be (and in multiple cases have been) diagnosed with autism of varying degrees, notably post-facto.

If anything I think the rampant over-diagnoses of middling cases is itself extremely harmful. Because it's going to lead otherwise perfectly viable humans to think that things are just out of their control because they have whatever the trending diagnoses in psychology is, and a diagnoses of failure becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Suicide rates among those diagnosed with ASD, while having at least average intelligence, are ridiculously high. [2] Whatever is happening with these diagnoses is not this self affirmation bs people are spewing.

A bit more than a hundred years ago we'd have been having this topic, with the context of phrenology [1]. A nice little quote from that page: "Phrenology has been psychology's great faux pas. — J.C. Flugel (1933)." And so too will autism be. Until soon enough we might start to accept that psychology is not just a pseudo-science, but an exceptionally destructive one at that.

> US citizens owe the US government taxes on their income regardless where it was earned, barring some specific exclusions.

That seems like the flaw here, not the other thing. Why should the US government have any entitlement to tax activity that occurs entirely outside their jurisdiction?

> At any rate, where a company is registered or where an asset is held doesn't necessarily have much bearing on where work is done or what infrastructure is used and to what extent.

But that's the point. They're meant to tax in the places where this sort of thing happens. If you have a building somewhere, there is property tax. If you make sales somewhere, there is sales tax or VAT. If you have employees somewhere (or are an employee and perform work somewhere), there is payroll tax.

Storing art can be done most anywhere, so naturally it happens in the places that allow it under the most favorable terms, but what's the problem there? It's the same as companies putting their facilities in some other jurisdiction because it has lower taxes. It's the normal and expected thing and one of the rare incentives for governments to improve their cost efficiency through competition.

On the other hand, you have to be pretty sick to qualify for such extremely experimental procedures. And transplants are pretty intensive operations even when someone is otherwise healthy (and getting human organs). It doesn't seem farfetched for unrelated complications to indeed be the cause of death.
This seems quite shallow, and uses as unalloyed truths many generalisations and absolutes which are simply not as claimed. Carelessly (or worse) using "always" when you don't mean it to make a thus-unsupported contentious point is indeed enough to make me angry!

That's really just tribalism. Also see anytime Apple enters the discussion.

The comment upthread more applies to how, on certain charged issues, trying to take a more nuanced take or point out that their side is not entirely correct on some minor point is likely to get you virtually shouted down because you're obviously in the pay of the other side.

>ADHD is always from birth and for life. They make it sound like something that can start at random.

In medical terms the "onset" matters, and that's not necessarily from birth.

In fact it can be so later, that while the DSM had a maximum age at onset diagnostic criterion for "before 7 years of age" for ADHD, it's now advised to relax it to 12.
Only if one knew what it would end up looking like - and it would have looked like that if everything had been done differently getting here.
Perhaps awareness/perception of inequality has increased because of mass media (and social media).

It’s easy to blame the media…so I will.

For older generations, a constant drip of sensational sound bites, delivered at hourly intervals has been psychologically damaging.

For younger generations, it’s different. When someone agrees with a post on social media, they tap “like”. When someone disagrees, they comment. Then, the only comments I pay attention to are the ones I find distasteful.

As a result, it looks like my politically-noisier relatives and I have almost no overlap, even though we are really quite similar.

If you agree, please validate my fragile self-image by upvoting this post. ;)
My anecdote after working with college students: It’s obvious to me that they’re doing better than my generation in many metrics: Easy access to information that can improve their lives, massively more acceptance of everything from LGTBQ+ to simply being a nerd (which was relatively stigmatized even a few decades ago), significantly more job opportunities, remote work, international travel is common, they drive nice cars, get paid well (CS students in my case) and on and on.

Yet their expectations have advanced faster than their quality of life. Some of the things they tell me are so pie in the sky that it’s hard to even begin to imagine how to return their expectations to reality. For example, many of them have picked up ideas that we should all be working 8-10 hours per week due to societal progress, or that the government could easily institute UBI at levels that had everyone living comfortable middle class lifestyles and made work optional. There is no critical thinking about where the money would come from or how anything would get done if nobody had to work, but they’ve seen it repeated so many times on Reddit that it’s accepted as incontrovertible truth. Every year I hear one student repeat the same argument that Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, or some other figure could cure global warming, world hunger, or other concerns and still have millions left over. Some people truly believe this.

The other strange angle I’m hearing frequently is the idea that life was so much easier in the past. College students are convinced that I grew up in an era where work was easier and everything was cheap. They don’t believe me when I explain how hard my parents had to work, or the fact that my dad grew up in a house smaller than their college dorm (new construction college dorms are incredibly large and lavish, for some reason). The internet has told them that every prior generation had it easy and they their generation was the first to encounter any financial challenges, so that’s what they believe.

Against impossible expectations like these, no amount of reality could ever be satisfying. I feel like I’m becoming an old man by watching these college students live comfortable lives, secure good job offers (this is what we help with), do work they enjoy, live in nice places, and still be convinced that everything is terrible because it can never reach the level of their expectations about the world.

Note that many of these students are the kinds to turn their nose up at TikTok, have deleted their Instagram years ago, and scoff at people for consuming viral YouTube shorts, like mentioned in the article. Weirdly, the content they consume on their platforms of choice (usually Reddit) is actually worse in many ways. I think we underestimate just how bad and inflammatory the content on Reddit can be.
