It's hard for people to evaluate risk. This morning my gf said she was "living in dread" of an upcoming procedure: 80% chance of success, almost 20% chance of doing nothing, <1% chance of things going very wrong. She's in a lot of pain so elected to do it. Her worry is affecting her sleep.

This is despite the fact that her PhD was extremely statistics-heavy, and she still does statistical analysis in her job, not every day, but more than once a week. Admittedly she's not a medical statistician, but I don't think that should matter.
Yeah doesn’t that defeat the unpredictability goal?

Yeah but I wanted to maintain "compatibility" with others using the software whether for discussion's sake or so I can hop on their workstation and not have to think about changing anything. Turning those legacy settings on and having that survive restarts could be flaky/buggy. I got the impression keeping that functionality well tested wasn't the highest thing on their development priorities.

Grapes are for luddites! Seriously though, my grapes are so reliable at cropping compared to tomato plants I think it would be more interesting to engineer grapes to be tomato-like.
We're at a point where the average peer reviewed paper isn't noticeably better or inherently more trustworthy than the average preprint on arXiv/bioRxiv/medRxiv/techRxiv/etc. Peer review adds a lot of cost, delay, and friction to the publishing process, but I don't think that it contributes very much -- the "peer" comments I've received on some of my papers were bafflingly obtuse and unhelpful -- and it could quite fairly be said that companies like Elsevier are openly villianous.

I think that new paradigms are needed, but certainly more preprint servers are always a good thing.

If one must publish in a journal, I have a handy rule of thumb: Only publish in a society journal. If the American Society of X, or the European X Society, won't publish your paper, then throw it up onto a preprint server, save it for a symposium, post about it on your blog/substack, or forget about it. Low-quality pay-to-play journals are shameful.
Hey! We love Redash too. Where Quary is different is that we have more of an emphasis on Transformation. This means people can split out complex SQL blocks into modular, reusable components which improves data lineage (how the data flows from table to visualisation).

Dbt makes transformations modular and easier. It applies software development methods to the T of ELT.

Old windows programs had the luck that intel fucked up Itanium, which left us with AMDs idea to just take the existing 16 bit compatible 32 bit processor and turn it into a 32 bit compatible 64 bit processor (that might also be 16 bit compatible, not sure on that one). As result new and old windows programs use a lot of the same basic instructs and emulating the newer programs includes a lot of the work needed to also emulate the older ones.
Maybe you didn't read the part about a conformist society and yet focused on the illegal immigration part due to your subjective inner bias because you haven't called anyone a racist online in the last 5 minutes.

I never said foreigners commit crimes, as if locals do not, but being very selective with your immigration does help keeping crime lower in every country that does so.

As a country you already have the crime rates of the locals, so you want to not import crime rates as well, therefore you want your immigration being a net positive across the board so you'll have to be very strict.

Why are people offended by an obvious fact?

Its totally possible to hit over 40 mph on steep hills on an MTB, especially if you weigh more. I was more referring to slight grades with just pure rolling without pedaling.

Im in Austin so I frequent COTA Bike nights on Tuesdays on the track. Coming down the hill from turn 1 with other riders is a very good test of aero efficiency, because there is a slight uphill after the bend. Couple of my friends ride gravel bikes, one of them is heavier than me, and its pretty clear that that my bike is more efficient.

It’s wild to me that this has been the eventual consequence of file extensions.

MS decided that they were too advanced and hid them by default, thousands of companies tried to do automagic things instead of pushing for people to understand extentions, and inevitably the automagic stuff introduced exploits that were far worse than that education.
Show HN: I made a Mac app to search my images and videos locally with ML
Desktop Docs is a Mac app that lets you search all your photos and videos in seconds with AI.

Once you find the file you're looking for you can resize it, export it to Adobe Premiere Pro, or drag and drop it into another app.

I built Desktop Docs because I keep tons of media files on my computer and I can never remember where I save stuff (lots of screenshots, memes, and downloads). The Apple Photos app also only supports photos in your iCloud.

Desktop Docs supports adding folders or individual files to an AI Library where you can search by the contents of your files, not just file titles.

You can search by objects ("cardboard box"), actions ("man smiling", "car driving"), by emotion ("surprised woman", "sad cowboy"), or the text in the frame (great for screenshots or memes).

It's also 100% private. Make any media searchable without it ever leaving your computer.

How I built it:
- 100% Javascript (I'm using Electron JS and React JS).
- Embedding generation (CLIP from OpenAI is used to compute the image embeddings and text embeddings for user queries).
- Redis (storing and doing KNN search on the embeddings with this DB).
- Image/video editing (the app ships with FFmpeg binaries to explode videos into individual frames and scale images).

Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIUgPNHOKKc

If there are any features you'd like to see in Desktop Docs or want to learn more about how I built it, drop me a comment below. Happy to share more.
This is kind of rude in that it uses the term "The Flaw of Averages" as well as some ideas and even an image from the book by the same name by Sam Savage and Jeff Danziger but gives them no credit. If you can't come up with your own expressions and drawings then you should credit the source that you end up using.

The UX of microSD cards is good, the problem is they're the new "floppies" because they're slow.

WHAT IF... the mass increase in colon cancers in young people is due to gut bacteria colonies being taken over by a strain of bacteria in mouths that also survives stomach acids? What if that is causing the huge increase in IBS? What if the high carb diets and alternative sugars being consumed at mind boggling rates is a root cause? That the oral bacteria has been overtaken by a strain optimized for these carbs but is actively harmful to our bodies?

And what if fixing it is a treatment like this?

I'm willing to gamble.

Instead of these interviews, consider this approach: Ask the applicant to provide links to their own open projects and/or to merged PRs they submitted to others open projects. Over each submitted relevant link, run a script that computes: `log(stars) * git_diff_length`. For one's own projects, git_diff_length is relative to an empty repo. If a link is not relevant to the position, do not consider it. For each applicant, use the sum of the top-scoring three links. This is assuming that the stars are not fake which is something you have to evaluate by seeing if the starring users have unique repos of their own or not.

> Aero drag goes with velocity squared, it is absolutely more effecient to reduce speeds.

It's more complicated than that. Up to highway speeds, energy costs are dominated by mechanical losses like rolling resistance. Meanwhile engine efficiency is higher at particular engine speeds and power outputs, and higher gearing improves efficiency but only if the engine remains in its optimal efficiency range.

This implies there is an optimal speed before aerodynamic losses become dominant, but that speed increases based on various factors like the air viscosity and vehicle aerodynamics. So the optimal speed will be higher at higher altitudes (common in the western US) and higher for vehicles with better aerodynamics.

> Drivers are paid by the mile, if you drive faster your effective hourly pay goes up.

This is another type of efficiency. It does you little good to reduce your fuel costs by $100 if you increase your labor costs by $200.

I wouldn't. There's no point to having a slot in a phone for a temporary peripheral. Plenty of storage can be built into the phone and there's no reason to make it water vulnerable for such an infrequent use. If you want to connect it, use an adapter.

A big part of the problem is that as patients, we observe single discrete outcomes.

For doctors an aggregate 1% chance is low, but the realization of the outcome in a single person is not a percentage, its binary bad side effects or not.

Admittedly, doctors could usually do better in communicating risks (e.g. see the famous example of 1/3 risk of impotence, which patients interpret either as 1 out of 3 people, 1 out of 3 times having sex, or 1/3 of the time of sex).

Ask HN: Quick Visual Site Builders?
What's the move now for a visual site builder? My minimum requirements are that I don't have to write much/any code but it isn't terribly ugly out of the box. Basically I want to be able to go from idea to being able to send a prospect a working link as quickly as possible.

Ideally there's some hope of easily integrating payments/shopping carts, but that's not actually a hard requirement for me.

I don't care to deal with any infrastructure or write much/any code or markup if it can be helped. I'm OK with paying a premium for some convenience.

I'm familiar with:

- Wix

- Google Sites

- Wordpress

- Framer

- Webflow

- Carrd.co

I think we also should be looking more at change over time, not just results as a distinct value. A lot of these values have ranges and error margins but looking at changes over time can be quite informative, especially for cases where your body takes care of any potential issues. I think there are a lot of diseases we could treat in cheaper ways with improved QoL if detected early. Too often we try to fix a crashed car instead of checking the brakes once a year.

It is a form of strong typing because integer could be the length of your toe nail, a temperature or the seconds since the unix epoch.

Sometimes you really want to make sure someone is not going to introduce billion dollar bugs, by making the type different from the underlying representation. In Haskell that would be sth like

newtype Temperature = Int

At other times, you just want to document in stead of forcing semantics. A contrived example:

type AgeMin = Int
type AgeMax = Int

isAdmissible :: AgeMin -> AgeMax -> Bool
isAdmissible :: Int -> Int -> Bool // less clear
Funny joke, but many people consider pornography and its creators to be fundamentally immoral, anti-social and destructive towards civil society in general. So I think it's plenty relevant. Same reason Scott promoting the work of "sex researchers" who promote the same sort of thing is reason for many to be skeptical of his integrity.
Third, faster and cheaper storage devices mean that it is better to use faster decoding schemes to reduce computation costs than to pursue more aggressive compression to save I/O bandwidth. Formats should not apply general-purpose block compression by default because the bandwidth savings do not justify the decompression overhead.

Not sure I agree with that. Have a situation right now where I am bottlenecked by IO and not compute.
