Yes. In the US, this is part of the EHR push, each EHR is supposed to accept any outside application. Here are some docs on how it works with Epic: https://open.epic.com/Home/InteroperabilityGuide?whoAmI=deve...

A big tricky part is understanding all the different health systems that have part of the patient's record. Typically speaking you can scrape all health system FHIR access point's and perform some geo matching to offer the ones they likely have seen. From there you do the Oauth2 dance with each health system where the patient authenticates (if they remember their login) and your app gets a token good for a certain time period after which the patient has to log in again.

The advantage of Metriport's approach is that they are getting a hook into the vendor operated HIEs. The patient doesn't have to remember/select which health care systems that have records for them since the VOHIEs have all that. The big hurdle is managing some authentication on behalf of the patient to a third party that they don't have a direct relationship to, the VOHIE. I suppose the VOHIE can pass the patient off to one of the member health systems and do the same Oauth dance but instead of just getting one health systems data, you get the whole enchilada.

The evil part of the operation is that now Metriport has proxy access to the data and eventually will get hacked and bought by private equity that will sell the data to TransEquirian Insurance Score agencies.

The TRS-80 Color Computer's "Sands of Egypt" employed this very strategy. They planted a glitch on a certain sector of the disk. If memory serves, you could copy the disk, but doing so would "fix the glitch." The game checked for the presence of the glitch on the disk and wouldn't run without it.

Is it? The Russian jam GPS that it is useless, but their own (much newer) system can't be jammed easily. I just read an article about it. Europe has nearly no military equipment left. Russia is loosing more tanks and artillery in a month than some big countries in the EU have.

The S400 is considered superior to the Patriot system. They have hypersonic missiles. And now a battle hardened army. Don't forget, western systems are heavily overpriced. I think we pay 10 times the amount for a shell than Russia does. It will take years, possibly decades, to build up military industrial capacity. Germany has ammunition for 1 day of war. Trick question: With what will they fight on the second day?

Also, dont forget: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superiority_(short_story)

Germany had the best tanks in WW2. But Russia hat many T34. In insane numbers.
That's a good point, or you could make a new cookie law.

I have a Boox tablet from a few years ago that I'm still using sporadically, and can't quite justify replacing yet, but if I was in the market this would be very, very appealing. Congrats to the team on the launch! :)
I think the average person (myself included) does not know that something can be considered ePaper without being bistable. The two are married in my head because all of the ePaper devices that I've been exposed to thus far have been bistable. If I were you, I would find a clever way to communicate this fact without making it sound like too much of a drawback.
I wonder if the removal operation is not actually O(sqrt(n)). Depending on the way we structure thought experiment of course. But as the pile of spaghetti gets bigger, the act of picking the largest one is constrained by:

1. how fast your hand can reach for the next spaghetti piece - on average proportional to the radius of the pile of spaghetti, which is proportional to sqrt(n).

2. to actually notice the biggest piece, you need to again wait for a time proportional to sqrt(n) - light propagation is not instant.

So if we start thinking about this algorithm more like a computer scientist would (how fast it is as n grows to the infinity) it doesn't seem to be O(n) IMO.
They were still making major design changes just one week ago (first completely removing, then providing a front-facing camera option after previously changing the screen dimensions and device form factor). There's basically no way it ships on their timeline (currently Sept 2024), if it ships at all. They nailed the slick marketing, but have been full of nonsensical timelines and promises.
I wonder how well the tablet renders its own homepage.
THANK YOU!

There is so much hardware out there people could be hacking on, improving, repressing all wasted due to difficulty loading new code.

A coworker was given a SONY e-ink device. We quite like it, but the included firmware is limited and dependent on a windows app that leaves a lot to be desired.

This is early hardware that was given the SONY treatment. That means great enclosure and ergonomics, but also conservative use of the display and goofy proprietary interfaces.

Would not take much to make the device a lot more useful.

One day, we will circle around and be talking about these already solid devices and how in-demand they remain despite their age because of your great decision.

Sidebar: I really want one, but am price constrained at the moment. (Too bad, so sad for me!)

Will the production models see an equally open configuration?

Hope so. Thanks again.
I usually look for research papers in well-known conferences. I think you can google the conferences for other fields, but some of them for Programming Languages are SPLASH, ECOOP, PLDI, ICFP. So if you want important new papers, those are the places to look.

Universities often have “seminar” classes and “reading groups” to discuss influential papers, which sometimes includes older ones as well. The discussions are a bit like what this site is trying to accomplish, albeit in-person. Unfortunately the seminars and reading groups themselves aren’t usually public, but some of their websites are (and some past websites are still up) and they post the list of papers.

For PL specifically you can find a lot of notable papers in the history of the r/ProgrammingLanguage subreddit, and there are lists you can google such as https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/courses/670Fall04/GreatW... and https://github.com/imteekay/programming-language-research?ta.... I also found https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love for more genera computer science papers.
I recently had this debate with my friend, who built this fun test to see how much latency was actually added by waiting for mouseUp: https://click-duration-timer.vercel.app/

I felt pretty strongly that I would hate triggering events on mouseDown because of how often I "cancel" an action mid-click. But I decided to add this userscript to my browser and live with it for a week:

let preventNextClick = false;
const interactiveElements = ['a', 'button', 'input', 'select', 'textarea'];

document.addEventListener('mousedown', (event) => {
if (event.metaKey) return; // allow cmd+click to bail
if (event.button !== 0) return; // handle left clicks only

// ignore all but a handful of elements
const tagName = event.target.tagName.toLowerCase();
if (!interactiveElements.includes(tagName)) return;

event.target.click();

// set a flag to prevent firing two click events
preventNextClick = true;
});

document.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
if (preventNextClick) {
event.stopImmediatePropagation();
event.preventDefault();
preventNextClick = false;
}
}, true); // use capture phase

This causes any of the interactive elements on a page to trigger their onClick action during the mouseDown phase rather than onMouseUp. It's probably not perfect, just a scrappy user script. But omg it is so much nicer to browse with this enabled. And I say that as a hater of the original idea with strong opinions.

So, if you want to have a slightly more informed opinion on the issue I suggest trying this or something like it out for a week! I can't go back to the way it was before. Everything is so snappy now.

I haven't (yet) found a case where I wished I had the mid-click cancelability I had before. I think that getting used to the idea of clicks being instant rewired my brain a bit to simply not rely on that behavior anymore.
Coding for a corporation makes me feel the same. It’s a lot of theatre and politics. It’s constant pressure for some unexciting feature you have no choice but to make and then they just lay everyone off to celebrate when it’s finished. Meanwhile the dev ops team is busy changing things to get promo and breaking everyone’s tools in the process while PMs trying to get promo pull their hair out trying to make everyone go faster. It can feel like hell on earth at some companies. And the only winners are the executives who are on another plane of existence from the average employee.

Anyway, congratulations on moving on and having some success.
We already have small modular energy producing units called photovoltaic cells. They can be installed anywhere with sun by anyone who knows how to use a screwdriver, don’t explode, and don’t contain a highly regulated material.

In other words, even if we grant that nuclear is a good idea in the U.S. is it also a good idea in Mexico? What about Guatemala?

If you generated this with an LLM, you might consider labeling it more clearly. Wrote copy-and-pasting of llm outputs seems contrary to the ‘thoughtful and substantive’ north star of hacker news comments. And just in case I’m wrong, apologies - it would be a good bit of irony if I turned out to be the one hallucinating.
That’s so accurate. I think of it as something that happens to you. Grief comes for you, often when you least expect it. It’s a trap door you didn’t know you were standing on.

Mourning, however, is active. It’s a choice to turn and face your loss. Grief is your body telling you that you aren’t doing enough to mourn.

While I'm sure some comments went overboard, people had every right to be upset about this integration being added to iTerm—even as a configure-to-use-it feature. I'm glad this is being extracted out to a completely separate add-on.

I will put it as simple as I can: I have read your comment. Multiple times. I have no idea what you are saying.

> I need more from an argument than "Here is a synonym for a power law function. If a power function has different parameters, it has a different output".

That's your re-phrasing, and I don't find it accurate. What the article questions is what is the parameter of the power function. If it is merely time, you can sit on your hands and solar panels get magically cheaper. You can't make the clock tick faster, therefore it would be foolish to want to speed the process up.

But if the input to the function is "cumulative production" rather than time (as the article argues it is) then by sitting on your hands you slooow the function down.

Absolutely. I think the prime problem is large swaths of the American populace has lost hope, confidence, and resiliency. OTOH, people in China have a much more of a "can do" attitude buoyed by achievements and rapid progress. America needs younger politicians and leaders out there delivering projects and emanating positive vibes of hope and possibility.
Hopefully this will make it easy to customize models for all of the different personal value systems on earth rather than these companies trying to project their single value system on all of us. I see this as a type of localization: at some point you have to acknowledge that the software you make is being used by people who are different than you and have different expectations.

Even the topic of “criminal activity” will not be the same from jurisdiction to jurisdiction so the model will need to have some contextual awareness and ability to tailor its responses appropriately.

Most of the time if I'm doing this, it's in a git repo and I only want to affect the checked-in files so that I can easily diff my changes. So I use a combination of `git grep`, `xargs`, and `perl` via a script I named `git-gsr`:

The Journey to Healthy Leadership Habits
I retired my Car Thing three months after purchasing. All of the functionality was better on my phone with the exception of a large, tactile button.

I didn't expect any refund here but it does remind me of when Apple bought lala, the music streamer, for their track upload technology to be added to iTunes. I eventually got a check from Apple refunding the $25 I paid that had enabled the ability to play tracks more than once, in this case, 100 of them. I wasn't expecting anything but it was a nice gesture.

The Spotify experience continues to remind me I miss lala (and rdio).
I was also wondering about these numbers when putting the article together. The photo of the 2.0D disk is of my own personal copy of the game. I assume the number is unique to that disk, but I haven't spent any time at all researching that. I wonder if someone has.
7) hits home for me. This is already buy worthy.
It looks like Preview Environments could be a part of it. It seems costly though. It says they get a copy of the database. I don’t know if they pass the costs on to the customers and if the customers have to avoid pushing code too often without excluding it from the build (by adding something like “no ci” to the commit message).
This bug has sat unfixed for 9 months.
9 months of cramming more LLM vomit into Search results, instead of removing existing vomit.
Still, once their display partner is ramped up, lower margin is still margin. Get it out there through Waveshare or someone similar.

I have purchased and made use of several raw displays from them. All, but the big e-ink one have been great to work with. That one has some proprietary interface to unlock the real speed potential and individuals cannot sign the NDA. Grrr..

I stumbled into a career in programming due to originally learning excel in an unrelated field. This project is such a great idea imo and seems like it would be a game changer for anyone that is regularly working between excel and python files for data.

Also my take on the transpilation vs LLM is that you chose the right path. The point of transforming an excel spreadsheet to python is to have better organization and ability to reason about the operations being performed.

Yes. Humans experience regret, "consent" is mostly a trick we use to get people who experience regret to blame themselves, not us, for what happened.

We should prefer (and in software this will almost always be possible) to undo the regrettable action instead of demanding consent.

In some cases we can do even better and prevent the regret itself with "Brick wall UI". Brick wall UI is a design where the thing that you definitely don't want to do isn't possible. As designers we have to put more effort in to ensure that this only arises where it's genuinely never what you wanted to do, otherwise it's just incredibly annoying.

The idea in Brick wall UI is that the user's experience is potentially, especially initially, the same frustration as if it was broken. Why won't the barrier open so I can drive my truck under the bridge? Why can't I use my login token to access this banking site and see my transfer details?

And maybe, eventually, sat at the Brick wall UI, the user realises why and is glad. "Oh! My truck won't actually fit under the bridge, I just avoided an expensive mistake" or "Wait, this isn't my bank it's fakebank.example, it's a bloody phishing scam". Or maybe they don't, for hours, or days, or weeks, but since it was never correct that's actually fine.
Beyond Leather Materials Launches Production of Alt Leather from Apple Waste
The official story was that the aerosols were "biological simulants." If the official story could have gotten away with zinc cadmium sulfide, it would have.

Page 69:

"The St. Louis study may have involved far more than biological “simulants”, per the official military talking point. There is indication of a secret study conducted in tandem to the “official” military-sponsored St. Louis aerosol study. The second study, which for some reason warrants even more secrecy than its parallel study, appears to have been connected to a new type of deadly nuclear weapon, one of many being developed by the coalition, to be tested on unsuspecting residents of St. Louis"

Proponents of renewables often cite the price and use it as an argument against nuclear energy. Nuclear energetics uses highly regulated local labor, giving it an inherent disadvantage against unregulated foreign labor. If renewables rely on underpaid or even child labor, it's not sustainable nor realistic, the numbers in that calculation have to be updated and the decisions reconsidered.

Breaking news: Google declares that Kenya isn't a sovereign country

This kind of story is precisely why AI in its current state is _not_ going to revolutionise the world. Notice that companies put big "AI" stickers all over AI-tainted data they present, because they're _aware_ that it is incorrect so often, and they have to hedge their presentation accordingly.

Maybe that will change at some point -- maybe even soon given the current rate of progress -- but we're not there yet.
