One cross platform Python framework I found interesting is flet https://flet.dev/

It's powered by Flutter behind the scenes and familiar enough so that you can translate most things from Flutter/Dart tutorials to Flet.

I haven't used it and I'll most likely never will (Flutter developer trying to pivot to real native development), but it seems to have an active community, and in theory, it enables developers to write relatively nice looking apps with a very popular language.

I’m surprised to see no mention of Certificates of Need: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_of_need. In most of the US hospitals need to have a license for their number of beds, the idea being that regulators don’t want there to be too many beds because hospitals tend to find ways to fill them unnecessarily. I’m not familiar with the literature about how good of an argument that is. Intuitively you can see how that could be an impediment when there is a greater need for hospital beds.

operating systems and networks require layers of tools, including the very basis of the machinery; in order to build all those parts, programming languages are implemented and improved. Those programming languages are necessarily dense and stable over time. So it matters very much what part of the operating system you are pointing to, and the role it plays in an ecosystem of software and software authors, over long periods of time.

so we collect the data that is needed to track cars. but that doesn't mean we should just allow the collection of all data. the collection of data must server a purpose where the needs of the society outweigh the needs of the individual. this must be proven on a case by case basis.

so for example it is not necessary to track the route you take with your car, or who is inside, in order to find out if you are speeding. speed can be measured anonymously, and only when you break the speed limit, the camera saves the recording, scans the license place and identifies the owner/driver of the car. there is no need to collect any data on cars that are not speeding.

If "historical inertia" is the only thing keeping macOS a general purpose computing platform, that is extremely troubling. Because it means Apple will not hesitate to lock it down in the future if it's able (e.g. through subversion of notarization).

Someone should be keeping track of all the new and changed phrases/terms to the language in recent years. Yes, languages change over time. But it's been accelerated over the last decade with ideologues intentionally adding to and changing the language on a frequent basis as needed to better support their viewpoints.

I use it as a major tell for whether to trust a source or not; if they're using what's effectively actual newspeak, phrases and terms that were invented recently for ideological reasons, I know not to put any trust in them.
The same could be said of food, water, and safe shelter.

The concept of a fundamental right here depends on a morality that says everyone has a right to live, and that society should help make that possible, probably partially through taxes.

If your morality is different, your opinion of whether the above are fundamental rights, might also be different.

I personally agree with both points: I believe "pretty good healthcare" is a fundamental right. That is to say, it should be limited only by factors humans can't control (e.g
the lead time for training new people), and otherwise be "best effort" given that constraint.

There's a lot to fear from revolutionary uprising, and I think people are very risk-averse, so this becomes a coordination problem even when there's perhaps widespread discontent

I agree with your conclusion that most rich countries are totalitarian in character, and it feels so fundamentally absurd that a lot of how we got here was merely developing the capability and not doing enough to prevent it

However, I don't think any kind of uprising is actually inevitable. One of the most powerful uses of these panopticons is the pre-emption and disruption of coordinated resistance efforts. Is an effective uprising even feasible if not supported by some faction of the extant powerbrokers? Hard to say to be honest. A lot of these capabilities are unprecedented, if not in nature then certainly in responsiveness and scope

As a paramedic in a major metro area...

The ED in the larger hospital near me where we take most of our patients (a Level 2 Trauma Center which, for the benefit of simplification is essentially a Level 1, without teaching facilities attached) about 8 years ago (say 2-3 before COVID) had 4 "pods", A-D, A and B on one side, registration, waiting, intake, in the middle, and C and D on the other (they formed something of a horseshoe around the intake area). Each pod had 10 rooms (they don't have ward style multiple patients to a room).

It used to be that C and D pods were "peak hours only", and after 3 or 4pm, there were no patients, and the lights were down.

Then things changed. C and D pods run 24/7 now.

And there are 24 "hallway beds" which are typically lower acuity patients literally on gurneys in the halls, one in front of each room.

Then the psych holding area (5 secured rooms) started overflowing.

Patients are now given gowns and scrubs based on their needs. A shocking number of the hallway beds are brown scrubs, which indicates mental health, often with a hold in place (i.e. they are not "free to leave", until evaluation and treatment plan has been determined, as a threat to themselves or others).

Oftentimes this means finding an inpatient bed elsewhere.

I have, tragically, watched frequent fliers with severe mental illness wait multiple days on a hallway bed. Nothing to read, watch, look at. No rest. No pause from the chaos. At least in a room, you can have a curtain drawn, lights dimmed. Not in the hallway. 24/7 we're wheeling patients by you as EMS, conversations at nursing stations. For me, perfectly "sane", that would drive me to the brink, to someone already in crisis ... The only "solution" that is compatible with that environment is sedation. (To be clear, it is not a solution, just the only one compatible then and there).

> hospitals' tendency to prioritize elective surgeries (these make more money).

At least this hospital, and a couple of others I know in the near region, hospitals have expanded their outpatient surgery and elective surgery, already in its own building, to include inpatient, too, so those patients are not taking up room for admissions out of the ED.

This was more C++ versus "we haven't picked what we are going to write this in"
So the paper itself is pretty significant, I think, from looking at it. The general methodology seems to be: train small model as a discriminatory scoring model on very high quality data (JEST is mostly concerned with multi-modal tasks it seems, so think image/text caption pairs), have that model score ‘maximally learnable’ batches on a larger / lower quality dataset, then train the big model using the scoring.

This turns out to be significant FLOPs and quality win, even counting for the initial model training and scoring part of it, they claim roughly 10x for quality/FLOP tradeoffs, and they show some significantly beating SOTA numbers for some tasks in their model size.

The bad part, to me, is that this is some significant engineering — it requires known high quality datasets, training of the scoring model, selection and scoring of the data for the big training run - this is not a bold new leap that’s going to be easy to implement for hobbyists - this is a practitioner’s excellent engineering showing the way forward for certain training needs.

As always, appreciate the publishing from DeepMind - this looks like great work. It would be nice to see a company like together.ai or others get it actionized into a pipeline; it might be a bit, though. It looks relatively gnarly in the details on the data and scoring side.

> New hospitals are being built with fewer beds than the ones they are replacing.

Guess why?

Because new hospitals need a Certificate of Need to be approved for construction.

What's that? It's a process by which -other hospitals in the area- get to say whether a new facility should be built. In many cases, this means a fine tuning of things to make sure you maintain available beds across all hospitals just short of the actual need (because if your facility is going to absorb the need, and leave others with empty beds, then you ain't getting your certificate).

This process was lobbied for by the hospitals themselves.

- Privacy policy & terms + conditions

- A screenshot showing an email inbox on the left, Xero bill templates on the right, and lines linking between the two (demonstrating the emails you have found, matched & synced to recurring xero bills).

- Assurance that 99.9% of bills would be captured and synced.

> A parent does not need to be able to read every message sent, every email, every photo, etc etc.

Sure - but a parent needs to be able to know the content of some non-zero fraction of the messages. (Just as in physical reality, a parent can get some gist of a child's conversations when within hearing range.) And even more important than the content, the parent wants be able to see who is sending the messages. A traditional sort of parental control which blocks "adult" (in reality - sometimes educationally useful) sites at the domain level is entirely useless for tackling the problem of creeps, crooks, and crazies sending your kid DMs in supposedly kid-appropriate games and apps.

Well, we should collect some evidence and write a book! If we did, it would be filed into the philosophy of mind section, I believe ;)

We don’t know everything, but we have more evidence than “it’s a black box” - in fact, that’s basically the scholastic / Aristotlean view that was conquered by our friends Bacon, Hume and Kant a few hundred years ago.
That's the idea. In reality other hospitals in the area get to have a significant say in new facilities to ensure that they are not either operating empty beds (non-maximal revenue) or filling them with delayed discharges.

Remember that hospitals and hospital owners lobbied the Nixon administration heavily to get this process put into law, and it becomes a bit clearer.
