On top of that, you would have to test every single dose because there is no assurance of any consistency.

It's a great xkcd but it's really wrong on one count, it's not some outside media/popular force compelling scientists to investigate something. Most of the time, researchers are looking to prove something they "know" to be true. They truly believe that jelly beans cause acne, they just need to prove it. When they get a negative result, they simply don't believe it. Something must have gone wrong, obviously, because jelly beans obviously cause acne, so maybe it's a color thing? Ah hah it's the green ones, now that we have our results we can construct other metrics to support this correct data!

Eventually if we (the public) are lucky someone else in the field will disagree and run the trial again, which is how you get the alt text.

My programming beliefs of July 2024.

The most important thing when working for another company is the culture, the management, and then the people.
Most times in tech, problems and tech used would be interesting enough. But as soon as the culture turns to shit, then the management would follow and people will self select out.

I used to think it didn't matter that much. Oh boy, how naive I was...
I once had a conversation with a merchant about not taking AmEx. He told me they could take it, their machine and merchant accounts were all set up, but instead of getting paid [whatever they charged] - [small percentage merchant fee] relatively quickly, they were sent a bill for AmEx fees that was almost impossible to correlate with sales. AmEx only paid them for the sales later.

AmEx are 'better' for customers because they screw the merchants over.

What I've learned that, as an adult in 2024 in the United States, you cannot take for granted:

- That your medical professionals are acting in your best interest

- That your insurance company is acting in your best interest

- That your medical professional knows what they are talking about

- That things that are legal to put in your body will not cause irreparable harm to you

- That the legal level of pollutants in the water, air, ground, walls, floors, etc are actually safe or even being measured properly

- That you aren't being subjected to something that later will be found to be unhealthy, even if it is currently known, until it is litigated in retrospect

- That you can afford the treatment that would be necessary to make yourself healthy

- That anyone in the industries that would normally protect you (healthcare, insurance, public health, government, etc) even care to do so

I understand that some people would look at that list and say I should have never expected some of those, but pardon me for being propagandized at a very young age that we lived in a country that was good and just. That's my bad.

So I am not surprised to see this, and expect to see more of it.

Attention HN: What's the Best Way to Find a Good Dev for Your Startup?
Hey Everyone!

I’m a startup founder who recently secured VC funding. As a technical founder, I understand the realistic and unrealistic expectations when working with developers. Over the past few weeks, I've been searching for my first dev, specifically a Next.js Full Stack Developer. I posted the job on LinkedIn and received over 1200 applications in the first week (I manually went through each and every one!). After screening, I narrowed it down to about 80 candidates for interviews (Again I was being very generous with screening and anyone I thought who even remotely had a chance got a interview).

However, my interview experience has been quite disappointing. Out of the 80+ interviews, only 4 candidates had portfolio websites, which is quite surprising for a Next.js dev role. Even more frustrating was discovering that all 4 had copied the same tutorial for their portfolios. It's not hard to find out that people copied a tutorial when they all look the exact same...

When interviewing I try to avoid asking Leetcode questions because in my opinion they are scary and intimidating and unrealistic. My interviews are scenario-based, where I present a problem and ask the dev to walk me through a solution verbally (NO CODE!). These problems are usually straightforward but help me test the persons problem solving skills, often involving scenarios like retrieving data from an S3 bucket in AWS but when bringing them on the website having issues with rendering. Despite this, less than 5 candidates could solve the scenarios. The meme of putting "Software Engineer" on your resume after watching a hello world tutorial became a little bit more true after that experience. I am not trying to be mean or anything. I gave everyone a very fair chance.

I’m starting to wonder if the era of good developers is over, or if my approach to finding them is flawed. Some other founders have suggested using take-home assignments that are 24 hours long instead of traditional interviews for this role.

For those of you who have been hiring React/Next/Vue/JS developers for a while, how do you find the "good" devs? Any tips or strategies would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
There is a psychology journal specifically for null hypothesis results: https://www.jasnh.com/
> broader blood panels, body scans (eg. Prenuvo), VO2 max, metals tests, mold tests, genetic tests, GI tests, etc etc.

Do you really need VO2 max test to tell you that you get out breath climbing a set of stairs? What genetic tests are you even talking about( brca ? ).

Is there any actual proof that "catching cancer early" has any long term impact on survival ?
ppl can go waste their money if they really want for entertainment but I don't suggest burdening public healthcare with voodoo science.

What do we want them to do. They are not going to come to your my home and switch out your burger and fries with a salad.

I don't get where this notion that you need to go to doctor to keep yourself healthy even comes from. Its not a secret how to be healthy.
> fairly civil dispute over where people stationed military assets

Your argument is that USSR stationing assets, including nukes, in Cuba isn't a provocation against the US while the mere thought of Ukraine joining NATO (not involving any actual NATO assets in Ukraine before the invasion in 2014!) is a provocation?
Diamond league may be more likely to see records broken, frankly, because it allows pace setters and the light indicators on the infield rail telling the runners exactly where the world record pace is at. But most athletes don't compete in every meet, so the field isn't usually as competitive, and nobody plans a four-year training peak around a diamond league meet, so maybe that makes up for it.
I'm not sure - there are other disciplines where PEDs are as much of a problem as in cycling, and the possibility of other forms of cheating, like motor doping, isn't really feasible elsewhere.

One of my favorite cases is sports chat. I'd expect ChatGPT to be able to talk about sports legends but not be able to talk about a game that happened last weekend. Copilot usually does a good job because it can look up the game on Bing and them summarize but the other day i asked it "What happened last week in the NFL" and it told me about a Buffalo Bills game from last year (did it know I was in the Bills geography?)

Some kind of incremental fine tuning is probably necessary to keep a model like ChatGPT up to date but I can't picture it happening each time something happens in the news.

I used to give cancellara the benefit of the doubt. But after discovering the very very sneaky second bike change I think its very unlikely he didnt do mechanical doping.

Cancellara had a mechanical issue and did a first bike chance. The main mechanic jumps out of the car and gives him a new bike. A few km's later Breschel has a real issue and requests a new bike, but the main mechanic isnt in the car anymore resulting in Breschel getting the wrong bike, losing a lot of time and never returning to the front. A few km further the images show Cancellara suddenly sitting on his original bike.

What happened, at the point where cancellara did his first bike change, the stage makes a loop. The mechanic had to walk 500 meter to get on the other part of the stage. What does amateur footage reveal. In a turn everybody where makes the short turn, Cancellara goes wide where the main mechanic is waiting with the original bike and you see Cancellara do a lightning bike swap.

Its a sad thing but after all these years I am convinced Cancellara cheated.

That was really for them. You’re out there building neat stuff. Your talent might warrant looking into AdderNets and Bitnets which might get the cost down. There’s also some brain-inspired designs.

Problem is the context for my internal use it might make no sense.

Also take into account other tooling.

For me context was checking if entity A has entity B available - well 404 is totally valid way to return stuff not found. But in my monitoring tooling 404 was spamming my logs - I changed it to 200 { no-this-entity-does-not-have-B } because in the context of my system it is valid response and not an error.

the commercial service is called OmniAI. zerox is just the name of a component (github repo, library) in a possible software stack.

am I only one finding these sort of takes silly in a cumulative globalized world with instant communications? There are so many things to be named, everything named is instantly available around the world, so many jurisdictions to cover - not all providing the same levels of protections to "trademarks".

Are we really suggesting this issue is worth defending and spending resources on?

what is the ground for confusion here? that a developer stumbles on here and thinks zerox is developed/maintained by xerox? this developer gets confused but won't simply check who is the owner of the repository? What if there's a variable called zerox?

I mean, I get it: the whole point of IP at this point is really just to create revenue streams for the legal/admin industry so we should all be scared and spend unproductive time naming a software dependency

I feel your pain, but 'threats of criminal punishments for lazy medical professionals' isn't a great idea. There are already laws against medical malpractice, but it's pretty obvious why prosecuting doctors and nurses for 'laziness' would be incredibly counterproductive and result in a massive increase in bureaucratic ass covering rather than improved care. Ask yourself - what caused the NHS to get into this situation? Certainly reversing those causes would be a good first step to improving the service and fixing the issues they've caused. According to the doctors and nurses themselves, it's all about cost cutting, increases in hours and generally the financial starvation of the service. They're literally out there striking to be allowed to treat you better.

Yes, and I really think it stems from religious biases, of wanting to think ourselves as being a soul inhabiting a body instead of being the body in itself. There's a reason why Descartes was one of the prime motivators of dualism.
So Metropolis-Hastings for example is a probabilistic algorithm. You don't need a probabilistic algorithm. (Well, you do when you want to estimate your physiological parameters, the Bayesian stuff and so on, but that is a whole separate can of worms). I didn't look too carefully at your objective function but it looked continuous - small perturbations in input mean small changes in the objective function. Like hypoglycemic readings, you can easily calculate "how hypoglyemic" rather than a yes/no. Naturally there are places where the objective function isn't continuous and that's where you have to do a discrete-style search, but when it's mostly continuous there are well-known numerical methods. Like check out https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/optimize.html, it isn't necessarily what you need but looking up the Wikipedia pages of the method names will be helpful. I've also found ChatGPT knows an insane amount of math, I wouldn't trust it to write a specific algorithm but it can give intelligent comparisons and list similar algorithms.

What I was saying is I don't think N_51 is the right way to model a dose. I would model it as a real number in the interval [0,50]. I would still round whatever the model gave to what I could actually measure out decently, but within the model I would not use discrete numbers.

> that are called on by Microsoft Security Software Products

Nothing says that Microsofts Security Software needs to be implemented in a way that runs in the kernel, which is inherently more vulnerable. Other platforms have APIs for security software to hook into kernel actions without directly running in kernel space (Windows does too, but to my understanding more limited to logging, not intercepting activity, and hence limited in usefulness).

Hence the claim that it was impossible for Microsoft to prevent this is false. That doesn't mean they take all the blame for someone elses mistake, but it still means that they made a choice leading to it: Deciding that security software, whoever made it, running in kernel modules was the way to do it.
The fact that they even listed "local developer testing" is pretty weird.

That is just part of the basic process and is hardly the thing that ensures a problem like this doesn't happen.
"

Good managers have roughly twice the impact on team performance as good workers. People who nominate themselves to be in charge perform worse than managers appointed by lottery, in part because self-promoted managers are overconfident, especially about their social skills. Managerial performance is positively predicted by economic decision-making skill and fluid intelligence – but not gender, age, or ethnicity.

My rule (and the code review policy I impose) emphasizes complexity instead - a 50 line shell script is great if it doesn't use if or case. (It's not so much of a strict rule as "once you're nesting conditionals, or using any shell construct that really needs a comment to explain the shell and not your code, you should probably already have switched to python." This is in parallel with "error handling in this case is critical, do you really think your bash is accurate enough?")

I wasn't the strictest reviewer (most feared, sure, but not strictest) at least partly because my personal line for "oh that bit of shell is obvious" is way too high.

None of these are negative results in the sense of being a 'null' hypothesis?

In the language of hypothesis testing you have your null and alternative hypotheses.

So for alternative hypothesis that the sun comes up in the morning, the null hypothesis would simply be that the sun does not come up in the morning.

Each of the negative results, reads to me like a separate 'alternative' hypothesis.

FTC investigates AI-based pricing strategies
I remember the hullabaloo about the Femke Van den Driessche case; I'm shocked that the IEEE article's contention that the motor used there could produce 200W of power.

200W is a LOT in cycling. See

https://www.cyclinganalytics.com/blog/2018/06/how-does-your-...

We talk about one's Functional Threshold Power, which is the amount of power you could produce for a solid hour and then be completely spent. There are a variety of ways to arrive at this number (ie, other than trying to do exactly that, which is fraught with peril b/c of pacing issues), but the metric is well respected and is used as the foundation of most cycling training plans.

So the wattage is one thing, but your weight is the other. Watts per kilo is the magic number, because obviously it takes more power to move 6'3" Wout Van Aert than it does to move 5'9" Tadej Pogacar. Big men make more power, but it takes more power to move them, so usually the winners look more like Pogi (or, in the case of this year's Tour de France, they look EXACTLY like Pogi, ha ha).

Anyway: 200W is a BIG number. A LOT has been made of Pogacar's performance this year, and it may be his output was the highest ever seen in the sport. Estimates places his FTP in the 7w/kg range, which is bananas.

Pogi weighs 66kg, that implies power of about 462W. He may well be the most elite, powerful guy to ever race, and a 200W motor would add 40% for HIM. Van den Driessche is not in his league; it's likely 200W would come close to doubling her FTP.

If you're going to cheat, you need to be subtle. 200W isn't subtle. 200W output also implies one HECK of a battery, which would be obvious when lifting the bike. Given that the bike in question was for cyclocross -- where competitors carry their bikes often as they cross obstacles -- I'm thinking that must be a mistake.

The article ALSO note that while the maker of the motor in question is out of business, you can also experience a 200W push with a bike from Lotus. However, if you click through, you find that Lotus is claiming the motor in the bike they're selling "weighs just 300 grams but packs a powerful 125W per kilogram." IOW, the assist motor puts out only 37W.
I think this is basically right, but I would add the suffering of the family as well.

Obesity will not lead you to abuse your spouse or children. Obese people can hold down a job. Obese people don't lose custody of their children.

The closest analogue, I think, is smoking. It will demonstrably take years of your lifespan and healthspan. It does lead to minor harm of people in your immediate vicinity (2nd hand smoke, those kids probably get fat too).
I'd use it initially while it's good, and then I'll stop once it becomes crappy. Just like has happened with every other website that has attempted this.
