Almost all non-functioning addicts in my observation (and casual workplace exposure to statistics) get clean or get dead on a couple year timeline (and yes, many get clean only to get addicted and then non-functioning addicted again). Almost nobody indulges non-functioning addiction for years on end without becoming a statistic. The people who seem to be are people who are getting clean and getting re-hooked or otherwise making some serious effort to fight it.

Family and friends' ability to support these people seems to be decreasing and forcing an increased number of addicts to speedrun it. People who would be moving in with a relative and casually trying to stay clean over months before backsliding, using up that support resource, spending months living on the streets and couches before deciding to fight the addiction again to in my limited view be more inclined to go all out fighting the addiction sooner now that the support is scarcer.

As I'm sure you know, a subset of people who are further along in the journey in states where public policy permit this and make it easy do sometimes use hospitals as short term shelter/food/care. Some of these people go around many times. I have decent visibility into these people by virtue of sitting 4ft from someone who spends their workday dealing in tracking this stuff for hospital regulatory compliance purposes (in the northeast where the climate is not kind to the homeless FWIW).

There are a lot more people showing up to ERs today saying "I have nowhere to go, I'm suicidal, the drugs are a problem, I need to be clean" these days than there were ~2yr (just eyeballing it on that number) ago when it was far more rare for the last part of that sentence to make a showing and it was far more routine for people to basically go through the motions to get discharged, blow off any after care and show up in the system again a few months later.

Edit: I use the distinction non-functioning in the first paragraph to separate out the functioning alcoholic and all the people who spent the 00s living a normal life while popping opioids their doctor prescribed them.
I would want it opt-in, because I use shellcheck on scripts that will be run on busybox or *BSD where there aren't long options

>people prone to overdose in the first place

Everyone is prone to opioid addiction and overdose. If you got a prescription for Oxycontin and had no trouble weaning yourself off of it, you should consider yourself lucky, NOT special
Who said link specific resolvers ONLY?

You can have default one. Chances are, if you have only one configured, it will be default. How are you forced? Who did that? How?

Oth, with resolv.conf syntax, link-specific resolvers are impossible. Even the apple-like extension in /etc/resolver, they cannot respond to link doing up and down.
Test results are already reported from testing equipment a value and expected range (to account for a specific machine/reagant's calibration). Notifying when out of range hardly seems like a AI, but it certainly might be marketed as such.

Maybe there is some nuance for things like a patient in for liver issues where their liver enzymes are expected to be abnormal, but identifying when it is abnormal for them.
has papermill deprecated the ipython runtime? I used papermill extensively in the past and I never saw that in their docs.
I do it this way but I indent the rest of the pipeline (like one typically would in a functional language with a pipeline operator or thread macro, or in an OOP language with method chaining via `.`):

foo --long-something \
| bar --long-other

and if the lines in subsequent commands in the pipeline start to get long, I also indent their arguments:

foo --long-flag \
| bar \
--long-other-flag \
--long-option a \
--long-option b \
| baz \
--long-another-flag \
--long-flag-again \
> /path/to/some/file

I really like to use && on its own line like that. One of my favorite things about Fish is how it turns && and || from special syntax into commands, which it calls combiners, so you could write:

foo \
| bar \
| baz
and echo done

I use this often for conditions whose bodies would only be one line, avoiding the nesting and indentation:

test -n "$SOMETHING"
or set -x SOMETHING some-default

command $SOMETHING

In Bash, I usually use parameter substitution for this, but in other situations (other than setting default values for vars) I throw a backslash at the end of a line, indent and use && or ||, imitating the Fish style.

One of my favorite patterns for readability is to use indented, long-form pipelines like this to set variables. They work fine inside subshells, but for uniformity and clarity I prefer to do

shopt -s lastpipe

foo \
| bar \
| baz \
| read SOMEVAR

I really enjoy 'maximizing' pipelines like this because it makes it possible to use long pipelines everywhere without making your program terse and mysterious, or creating unwieldy long lines.

If you do this, you end up with a script is mostly 'flat' (having very little nested control flow, largely avoiding loops), has very few variable assignments, and predictably locates the variable assignments it does have at the ends of pipelines. Each pipeline is a singular train of thought requiring you to consider context and state only at the very beginning and very end, and you can typically likewise think of all the intermediate steps/commands in functional terms.

I tend to write all of my shell scripts this way, including the ones I write interactively at my prompt. One really cool thing about shell languages is that unlike in 'real' programming languages, loops are actually composable! So you can freely mix ad-hoc/imperative and pipeline-centric styles like this (example is Fish):

find -name whatever -exec basename '{}' \;
| while read -l data
set -l temp (some-series $data)
set -l another (some-command $temp)
blahdiblah --something $temp --other $another
end \
| bar \
| baz \
> some-list.txt

(I typically use 2 spaces to indent when writing Bash scripts, but Fish defaults to 4 in the prompt, which it also automatically indents for you. I'm not sure if that's configurable but I haven't attempted to change it.)

I tend to follow my guideline suggested earlier and do this only close to the very beginning or very end of a pipeline if that loop actually modifies the filesystem or non-local variables, but it's really nice to have that flexibility imo. (It's especially handy if you want to embed some testing or conditional logic into the pipeline to filter results in a complex way.)

Integrating ripgrep-all with fzf makes for a powerful combination when you want to recursively search the contents of a given directory.

I have been using a shell function to do this, and it works wonderfully well: https://github.com/phiresky/ripgrep-all/wiki/fzf-Integration

The built-in rga-fzf command appeared in v0.10 and ostensibly obviates the need for the above shell function, but the built-in command produces errors for me on MacOS: https://github.com/phiresky/ripgrep-all/issues/240
Well, calling this AI seems like a long shot. What seems causal here is 'warn early', and indeed I'm sure it would work even better if you outputted a warning displayed full screen on the nurse's phone. It's quite possible you could have the same effect with trivial thresholds instead of a stat model. Still, I'd say it's indeed a good use of computers in general to produce targeted warnings.
I think there is some element of "technology laundering" here that I saw during the blockchain hype. Even if plain ol' monitoring and automation could solve your problem no executives want to back that.

Literally no war ever has avoided collateral damage. Trying to hold Israel to that standard is absurd and pretty transparently anti-Semitic.

Yet you still decided to accuse somebody of malicious intent and of being a scammer.

That's not how a wise person should act online.

Its called war. Traditionally militaries have always despised spies but the results speak for themselves. No standard operation could ever have been so discriminatory or so effectively minimised the risk of collateral damage. Nor could they have disabled so many enemy soldiers so cheaply and most importantly of all, without putting a single troop at risk.

So nasty but effective. I think Israel should at least get some credit for minimising the risk of innocent bystanders getting injured. They could have made a bigger bomb.
" A difference-in-differences comparison between GIM and subspecialty units demonstrated no statistically significant difference in outcomes"
I think the real question is why is this being reported on. There are always medical advancements, but because this one gets chosen as a news story because "AI" in the headline gets clicks.

There's a bunch of crap and most of the AI bubble is low-value BS, and back when the Web was starting there was Pets.com.

Realistically how many people are currently employed "writing low quality spam articles"

That's not reality. That's just reddit crapping on strawmen because a lot of the visible results from AI is 1) Crap creative work and 2) Polluted search results/comment sections

These are red herrings

I've never had the google-fu that some other developers have so this was something that often required asking a peer before. Sometimes a forum or some Discord, even.

Now you just feed your garbage question to a large language model that swallowed the entirety of the internet and a few seconds later it's spitting back something useful.

It's the first time I have access to a robot that's on stand-by with surface level knowledge of everything.

Well said, further I would add the lack of responsibility our modern culture takes regarding what they will act upon and how little they will validate through other means.

Americans don't like talking about how ignorant and irresponsible they are, they see these as traits of others.
You would probably feel the same if, today, you were to use Solaris. And you won't say it's not UNIX, right?
We have the term “GOFAI” to distinguish “modern” AI from the older stuff (big bag of if statements, behavior trees, etc., but do we need a new term now to distinguish pre-LLM / Diffusion models (neural networks and tree based models)? Everyone thinks “ChatGPT” when they hear AI now but surely this is something more like XGBoost or a neural network under the hood.

I watched all the patient videos and found them helpful. There's no substitute for seeing examples with a real mouth.

The interdental brush video is a bit more "intense" than the rest. Can't be helped: you need to show someone with teeth gaps. Perhaps move that one down in the list so newcomers start with a more gentle video?
Oh, fair. To an extent, at least. If they had said these were ML processed samples, would you balk as hard at it?

It's the difference between "give the programmer this medical report and have them parse out the white blood cell count" versus s/progammer/AI. And the same every time that the report changes in any way.

I've been that programmer more times than I can count. I'm much happier about being able to work on better problems instead than I am worried about AI taking away my rice bowl.
This is a very well argumented and presented article, that agrees with your sentiment and ends with:

"What I can say at this point is that I personally am not going to embark on a quest to get application programmers to check for errors from close.

And so, my conclusion here is that, no, our hello world program does not have a bug. It's fine. It's just fine."

I think many programmers have felt the exasperation you so well expressed in your comment.
That is literally what AI means - the ability of a computer to perform a task that would otherwise require human reasoning.
I’ve still got Tupperware containers from when my ex-wife sold the stuff, and I’ve been married to my current wife for 30 years. It’s good stuff, or at least used to be.

But the reason I’m using 30 year old Tupperware is because I’m not going to go to Tupperware parties. I’ve often wondered if their sales and marketing hindered them, or if it is what made it possible for them to stay in business at all.

Show HN: I made *the most realistic* AI chat
Most AI companion sites are all about flashy graphics and slick design, but they miss the key part: the interaction.

I did the opposite. My AI focuses on ultra-realistic chat—it hesitates, makes typos, and even writes over you, just like a real person.

Each time you visit, you're connected with a new "fake" person who has their own hobbies, quirks, and chat style - just like old Omegle (minus the creeps). And if you want more control, you can customize your chat partner’s role, appearance, and more.

I’m serious about "the most realistic AI-chat" claim. If you find a more lifelike AI, I'll update my claim! I’ve tried them all, and nothing else comes close.

I’d love your feedback! :)

How much their charta still is relevant today is in question, but they have direct calls to kill Jews in there. They adapted that from al-Husseini, which stated it exactly like that. That was before the founding of Israel btw.

Israel loses if it kills it's enemies. That's your logic? Reminds me of Trudeau "if you kill your enemies, they win".
This would be good evidence if the goal was to not cook eggs quickly with a removed heat sink. It’s also a silly anecdote because it’s not like any processors of that class run especially hotter than others given peak loads. I’m sure they could both cook eggs.

The point you’ve given no argument for was that AMD didn’t suffer from Intels illegal practices. Not who cooks eggs better.
Partially. Legally, they use both USD and Bitcoin; but it wasn't really adopted by the population [1] (it doesn't help that they've been using USD since ~2000, which is relatively stable by latam standards). It was also much more a political endeavour by their president to promote neoliberal ideas rather than anything to do with blockchains per se.

How is stopping trucks on the road to check their papers, and holding up the delivery for some period of time, on a semi-random basis, not ‘intervention’ of some kind?
There was a big push in the '90s (partly out of genuine concern for patients and partly as guerrilla marketing for pharmaceutical companies) for doctors to treat pain as the "fifth vital sign", i.e. assess it routinely and move quickly to address any issues with it. When Purdue Pharma introduced OxyContin, it was claimed to have low-to-no risk of dependence and abuse. This led to prolific use of prescription opioids for even minor pain.

The dangerous thing about opioids is that they're equally effective for both physical and emotional pain, and everything else we have to treat emotional pain might as well be a placebo by comparison. So some people with chronic emotional pain got prescribed opioids for their physical pain post-injury/surgery and found that the experience of life on opioids is just better, and the only immediate options they have at that point are either to manage chronic opioid use or go back to their life constantly sucking. In such cases it's tempting to pontificate about "root causes", but in my experience people tend to steer that toward their own political/sociological/psychological hobby horses and quickly lose focus on the problem at hand.

Also, while crack cocaine is far from harmless, its dangers have been overblown for political reasons, especially compared to the perception of powder cocaine.

I’m not sure what you’ve done to get that level of spam, but I get about 10 spam emails a day at most and that’s across multiple accounts including one that I’ve used for almost 30 years and had used on Usenet which was the uber-spam magnet. A couple newer (10–15 year old) addresses which I’ve published on webpages with mailto links attract maybe one message a week and one that I keep for a specialized purpose (fiction and poetry submissions) gets maybe one to two messages per year, mostly because it’s of the form example@example.com so easily guessed by enterprising spammers.

Looking at the last days’ spam¹ I have three 419-style scams (widows wanting to give away their dead husbands’ grand piano or multi-million euro estate) and three phishing attempts. There are duplicate messages in each category.

About fifteen years ago, I did a purge of mailing list subscriptions and there’s very little that comes in that I don’t want, most notably a writer who’s a nice guy, but who interpreted my question about a comment he made on a podcast as an invitation to be added to his manually managed email list and given that it’s only four or five messages a year, I guess I can live with that.
