Building for Healthcare: Our First AI Hackathon
Popular science articles always get this wrong. I did PhD on magnetic skyrmions and they're widely called 'particles' in articles. You also always see a lot about 'magnetic monopoles' where it's an emergent phenomena in crystal structures.
You don't need move constructors if every future is heap allocated. But then every call to an async function is a separate allocation, which is terrible for memory locality. Some kind of virtual stack would be much better than that (but then you need garbage collection if you want the stacks to be memory-optimized to be small by default).
Honestly, I think plain old sanity needs to prevail on some level to counteract the direction the US (and lots of the Western world) have been heading. And currently, sanity is taking the really weird form of Donald Trump and a lot of people are rallying behind him oddly. Do I like him? No, he's a weird dude and triggers a bunch of my own personal alarm bells. But if this is the only thing sanity can muster, then so be it. Obviously debate, processes, laws (!!), and discussions are not working (just look at the Biden thread happening right now on HN). Heck, one could arguably say that democratic processes such as majority-rule are also not working.

What exactly do you want a rational person to do? We have actual laws that are racist, and at the same time we have laws that are selectively enforced and ignored for political purposes. In that sort of environment, we're in the same field as dictatorships and when it comes time to protecting oneself and family, anything goes.

See where the debate is right now: You claim he might appoint his Son in Law as a form of nepotism. The other side counters with "but look at Hunter Biden, etc" and "Look how Biden appointed unqualified DEI hires, etc". It's all marketing spin, and we have no idea what's really happening. We're relying on trust and hearsay with N-levels of interpretation and motives to get to the truth.
You're missing something. Many somethings.
>We label people and throw drugs at them and call them abnormal when in reality they aren’t doing what makes them happy. We try to force them to be happy doing shit.

We call them abnormal, because they are abnormal. It can be seen in brain scans, that the ADHD brain behaves different than most other brains. But that obviously doesn't imply that any Person with ADHD should take drugs because of that. Drugs are not a solution, they are an aid. Yes, people like different things.
I see no mention in the article of a control group. Maybe repeated autism tests have fluctuating outcomes in young untreated patients as well.
I don't think MIT and MIT's marketing department is really the same thing. It's not that the authors are writing this stuff.

> when we started losing interest about where our code is actually being executed

I don't think we did - it's more that new programmers aren't forced to learn it, and a lot of them are lazy and only here for the money. The result is a lot of people who think all that matters is shipping quickly. To them, it doesn't matter that this will result in lots more work down the road once the product needs to scale up.
This case is about more than that:

The idea copyleft doesn’t need copyright has been dead since TiVo, you need copyright to ensure people’s freedom, if you simply repealed copyright laws you would still have your rights as a user trampled.

The problem in this case is the AI companies aren’t ignoring copyright and then releasing their output with no copyright, which would happen in a copyleft or copyrightless world.

They instead want the benefits of closing their output but they want the benefits of taking other peoples work to make that output.

> It is, they just also happen to be a major impediment to new Nuclear power in the US.

I'm very pro-nuclear, but I'm glad we have the NRC, and I think they are doing a good job.

I'm currently reading the book "The Curve of Binding Energy" [1], about the physicist Ted Taylor. It was written in 1973 and the focus was the possibility, even likelihood, that one day a terrorist organization could build a nuclear bomb. This was before the split of the Atomic Energy Commission into the NRC and the Department of Energy.

Reading the book is a bit like time travel. You move from today's industry-hostile NRC to the absolute opposite: the AEC was completely industry-captured. The laxity of the controls was terrifying. Of course, the author had no idea that in 6 years we'd have the Three Mile Island incident, but for someone in 2024, TMI now makes perfect sense.

Did the NRC become too much of a break for the nuclear expansion. You bet. But I prefer 100 times more to live in a world like we have now than in a world like it was in 1973. We are very lucky that things worse than TMI, Chernobyl and Fukushima didn't happen.

This is true. When were working on the problem, the way Aaron Turon put it was that &mut is "too powerful." If &mut didn't give the power to move out of it, the whole design would be a lot simpler. I'll discuss this in my next post about this.

Rust has to be backward compatible and already decided you can move out of an &mut, but there are definitely cleaner designs that can be, unburdened by what has been.
Looks like an American company called Priceline bought booking.com and rename themself after them.

Crowdstroke
> In that case are you telling me their pitch is that they detect this behavior, dispatch some human agent from their CSIRT within 3 minutes to remotely but manually come check the binary, dump some strings, do some reverse engineering and track the CC server etc?

Crowdstrike is not in the business of selling to people who know WTF any of that means.

Crowdstrike is in the business of selling to people like the CEO of Southwest Airlines. Their pitch is "The definitive AI-native SOC platform; Forrester named CrowdStrike a Leader in The Forrester Wave for Managed Detection and Response (MDR) in Europe; IDC MarketScape name CrowdStrike Named a Leader in Worldwide Risk-Based Vulnerability Management Platforms 2023 Vendor Assessment"

If the CEO consults people lower in the hierarchy, the pitch is "Some asshole has decided you need to be SOC2 compliant, that means you need to run antivirus, our product will check that checkbox and though our product is not good, it is at least better than mcafee or symantec"
Just read more into it. You're correct. I think it would be dumb to solely blame MS, but I don't think you can completely absolve them.

Haha, exactly the book I was searching
Yes. And when a customer complains about an issue, tell them that your software has no bugs and they should reevaluate what they are doing, because obviously, nothing unexpected happens in your software and any trail of execution that would help developers figure out what happened is just for lamers (see also Go's stance against stack traces).

/s, if it wasn't obvious enough.

I hate software that fails silently because "you don't need logs". It usually shows that it was developed by someone who never had to act as a sysadmin and just never learned the value of good logs. Thinking anyone can predict all the possible ways a service can fail is misguided at best.
> Maybe I am missing that or something else, but here I read that "Today most applications can send hundreds of requests for a single page"

I liked the following line better: "The main reason a page may contain so many requests is to improve performance and user experience, specifically to make the application feel faster to the end users."
The garbage is exactly why I stopped using Plex. Yeah, Jellyfin isn't perfect. But at least it isn't bombarding me with crap I don't need.
> which severely limits freedom of makers of end-user software

And thereby severely guarantees the freedom of said end-users.

The freedom to deny the freedom of another person is not a freedom worth discussing.

The author expressly dislikes copyright. GPL is still the only real cure to copyright. "Permissive" licences are corporate friendly. They allow corporations to take what they want and give back nothing. In this day and age it's more important than ever to empower individuals and limit the growth of corporations/oligopolies.

Sure, but even in countries where you can retire with full pension at 60, it's not _uncommon_ for people to remain in senior positions up to their late 60s.
I have no interest in Streamio, but I have really wanted an Android TV OS I can run on commodity hardware for things like Netflix, YouTube et al, I wonder if this might be a suitable solution?

My goal really is to have a sleek, up to date TV OS that doesn't rely on me buying a specific TV or replacing it every 5 years when it stops receiving app updates.
Maybe by not loading the module into unknown kernels in the first place?

If say you support a distro, you can’t turn around and complain that supporting the newest version is hard, no matter who caused the problem. Plenty of products say ‘this works on $x but it’s not officially supported’.
I have a problem with all terminal tools that insist on using colors to distinguish between various file types or attributes etc ('ls' is often set up like that too for distros, but I simply delete the config which sets that, the default doesn't).
I use a terminal background which is easy on my eyes, and those color schemes always include colors which clash with the background or makes them hard to see in other ways. In short - I don't want colors in my 'ls' or 'ls' equivalent output. I'm fine with what ls with '-AFC' gives me.
yup. i worked at a company that used crowdstrike's falcon agent and it was an incredible cpu hog.

nowadays i work at a place that uses a different solution and guess what: it's also a f-ing cpu (and i/o) hog -- it makes my m1 pro macbook slow to a crawl and there's no way to disable it.
> ChromeOS is not just Linux.

I am familiar with Google's walled garden w/ ChromeOS. I didn't mean to give the impression that I was not.

It's "just Linux" in the sense that it has the same Boolean kernel mode/user mode separation that NT has. ChromeOS doesn't take advantage of the other processor protection rings, for example. A bad kernel driver can crash ChromeOS just as easily as NT can be crashed.

Hopefully Google just doesn't push bad kernel drivers. Crowdstrike can't, of course, because of the walled garden. That also means you can't add a kernel driver for useful hardware, either. That limits the usefulness of ChromeOS devices for general purpose tasks.

Compared to actual medication, no. It can help though… and that’s how you may unintentionally develop a pretty high tolerance for caffeine (200mg caffeine pills and energy drinks every day at sunrise).

Turns out I had ADHD and I had been using caffeine my entire life as a crutch.

Diagnosed in my late thirties, and although finding the correct medication and dosage that works is an ordeal… once you are there you realize you’ve been swimming with a hand tied behind your back this entire time.

It’s not a magical cure motivation-in-a-pill though, it requires you to do the work. It simply enables you to try instead of completely failing to attempt anything.
Yep, typo, thanks for pointing it out! I'm fixing it.

I imagine this is limited to a scenario where you: 1. Act as a middle-man for the transaction (as this lawsuit was about resale), 2. Interfere with pricing or other service aspects, 3. Add your own profit. I don't think this sets any precedent against scraping on its own.

(The highly variable and discriminatory pricing of travel would also best be addressed in regulation, rather than relying entirely on third-party resellers to rescue you.)

I stopped using Plex almost immediately after installing it. I couldn't figure out how to proceed without creating a centralized account with them, which is the last thing I want or expect from a "self hosted" software package.
This requires them to agree on how to pay out the money, which sounds like more trouble than it's worth.

Careful with Loki if you ever plan to export logs out of it. It can export limited logs based on very very limited time range and search range over long time is PITA if your log volume is fairly medium to high.

That being said, if it is setup and forget, then Loki is as low resource friendly as you can get without spending big $$$ to maintain it.

ELK is massive resource hog and is best kept in cloud, but if storage and compute is irrelevant over search experience, then ELK is unbeatable.
I couldn’t disagree more. I went to the doctors at 20 for suspect ADHD, I loved Maths more than anything but my degree was going terribly. I couldn’t focus on the correct things to get the work done, I had no sense of time or organisation, everything was an eternity away until it was due now.

Time went on and it got worse and worse. Even non-academic, fun became a chore. Making music, playing games, going out; thinking about them became this litany of choices and todos I’d spiral down and I’d end up just sat there. Wasting time. But thinking how I could be enjoying myself, but unable to break myself labouring in thought of the gravity of execution needed.

I got diagnosed last year, and a year ago on Thursday, at 31, started Elvanse. I can’t for a second understate how much my life has changed for the better. Not only can I now do the boring stuff that life needs (who knew mechanical engineers did so much dull paperwork and standards), the fun stuff came back too.

I have no doubt that even if the rat race didn’t exist, if we lived in some languorous, indulgent utopia where we could do as we please every second, that I would be in bed. Miserable and crippled with option paralysis.

It’s so one dimensional and offensive to whittle ADHD down to “everyone has a lack of focus, they need to do something else”. I don’t see any difference between that statement and saying “depression doesn’t exist, just be happy”.
Why should I care ? I want IT related news
>Linux has been a viable alternative for decades now for many tasks.

For decades?! Maybe on the servers, but on PCs, hardly. Also, even if that may be the case now, it doesn't change the fact that at your job they'll most likely use Windows not Linux on the workstations. Linux is king on the servers, but PCs everywhere will mostly still be Windows, especially in corporate environments.
In fact I wrote my own RyanAir scraper to get the best prices on flights (it is trivial to implement, they barely have any rate limits - in particular if you use the API endpoint where you search for flights departing from a specific airport).

But I guess my scraping is a lot less, as I'm only looking for a few flights
Let's say you have an allergy to nuts, or shrimps, or some phobia. Life does throw a lot of this at you but it doesn't really help. What helps is following a protocol with controlled doses of exposure to make the body/mind unlearn "DANGER!!!1!11!!" and instead "oh actually this is safe".

Same difference as life making you lug objects/yourself around daily vs a workout plan. You start small and progressively build up to go from here to there. Also you don't stop all physical activity when following a workout plan, it's just that you have a framework to build up.

There may be a thousand ways to do these brain workouts, probably kids would not be too enticed to do meditation or read books so a videogame is more appealing on the surface.

Also I'm not saying this particular game is any good or not in that regard, I'm just saying maybe there's something to it, asking naive questions such as "was this actually intentional design?", and conducting some thought experiment.

Tangentially I'll be the old man yelling at clouds, but I've noticed that games these days are very much not frustrating, probably to cater for the widest audience: compare today's infinite respawn at magic checkpoints with automated difficulty adjustment and no mistake possible change-your-build-tree-anytime and deus-ex-machina health/ammo drops so that you never quite fall short to the likes of Megaman, Mario, Sonic, Gradius, Doom, Ikaruga, Baldur's Gate, Diablo... To be successful these days it seems like games must be pleasing with all frustrations removed, plowing like a demigod through hordes of prop opponents or gigantic bosses made of cheese. By endgame you can even max out all skill trees and be a warrior/wizard/necromancer/sharpshooter/thief all at once.

You can't make a mistake, you can't paint yourself in a corner, you can't lose, you never have to roll back to a savegame 10 hours back or live with your erroneous choice for the next 40+ hours, or, god forbid, start over.

Sooooo we're an agency specialized in Next.js stuff.

We're essentially a bunch of passionate engineers but none of us care for ops work including myself, I really want to focus on the code, not on the deployments.

Vercel actually kind of saves us money because the apps we work on are mostly internal tools that don't have millions of requests per minute and developer time is expensive. If vercel saves us one hour of engineering work per month compared to aws it's already cheaper and it definitely saves more than one.

Pin does have meaning: it means you cannot move the target of this pointer ever again (or invalidate its without running its destructor, which is what moving does that's the problem), unless the type of the target implements Unpin.

This giving up of certain rights gives other rights (such as to store self-referential values), which are the reason you give it up. This is how contracts between components just work: similarly, giving up the right to mutate through a reference allows you to alias the reference at the same time. I'm always reminded of this line from Lincoln, about a very different and much graver subject: "If we submit to law, Alex, even submit to losing freedoms - the freedom to oppress for instance - we may discover other freedoms previously unknown to us."

I do agree that the fact that you can't use those rights in safe code is an educational problem, because one can't easily demonstrate what you can do with a pinned reference except "call a poll method which the compiler has generated for you."
Are there any established alternatives to this? I couldn't seems to find them even though it's such a good idea and I think there is demand for this. Thank you.
We pull in everything across our AWS infra via otel collectors (metrics/logs/traces) and forward to HyperDX (ourselves, w/ storage backed on Clickhouse). You'll find that Clickhouse is a ton more efficient than Elastic when it comes to observability use cases, which helps a lot with keeping costs under control. There's less schema management typically needed on Clickhouse as they have more flexible map types for chaotic structured logs. The Otel collector is also very flexible in adding filtering rules to throw out noisy messages.
I really like Nim but this identifier resolution seems to be the only topic that comes up against Nim, and I really doubt this "feature" is worth the consternation when pitching the language to someone new. I wish the Nim developers would just admit that it is not worth the effort and make it opt-in instead of opt-out.
No, it's not a solder/BGA issue because RAM/CPU/GPU stress benchmarks would cause some instabilities but that's never the case. The instability only manifests when running video decode tasks(watching youtube) in the browser and browsing websites in paralel, meaning it's 99% sure a iGPU driver issue.
For convenience. Depending on the size of your business, it is cheaper than paying an employee to maintain all that
