Yeah I did a (mostly failed) PhD on ultrasonic imaging and found many things that worked in simulations but not in practice. The fancier your imaging algorithm gets the most ill posed it becomes and more sensitive to noise and errors.

Even if you add noise to your simulation , when you go to the real world it will have lots of sources of noise and errors that you didn't model. In this case I suspect aligning the CT scan with the ultrasound probe will be extremely difficult.

Also there's a reason ultrasonographers are so highly paid, and it's mostly used for pregnancies. In normal tissue it kind of sucks as an imaging method. (On an absolute scale; obviously it's amazing technology.)

Eh maybe it will work though. You never know.

There’s still a skill floor required to accurately judge something.

If I had to fill in my sysadmin’s knowledge gaps I wouldn’t call them a good sysadmin.

Not saying the tool isn’t useful, mind you, just playing semantics with calling a tool a “good sysadmin” or whatever.
I hear this all the time, but it's not like this is going to happen by prescription, quietly and cleanly and welcomed in. These are powerful factions that are not going to take it lying down.

MAGA is the third party. Nobody ceded power to Trump. Both R and D tried really damn hard to get rid of him. His biggest detractors are GOP royalty.

He got enough people behind him to get established. In his remarks following this election, he even referred to it as the MAGA Party.
> Anyway I'll never use Steam to buy a game anymore anyway, because you're only really buying a license to rent a game.

I wonder if you misinterpreted the article? The games are not being taken away from people who purchased them. They will simply no longer be offered for sale.

I know the DRM exists, but to the extent that you trust the word of Steam and Gabe Newell, they have said they will release a patch undoing all Steam DRM if Steam ever goes out of business.
> You're comparing SLS to a fantasy rocket.

Incorrect. I also compared SLS to both (a) Falcon 9 and (b) Falcon Heavy. Both of which dramatically outperform it in regular commercial flight.

Whereas SLS has had exactly one test flight.

And of course Starship exists. It has flown 5 times, which is 4 times more than SLS. And has landed both parts at least once, which is infinitely many times more than SLS ever will.

So which of these is the "fantasy rocket"?
Congratulations on your launch! But I confess that I am really confused. This sounds exactly like Aider, but closed source and it's locked into a single LLM API? I just watched you use it, and looks a lot like Aider too? Why would I use this over Aider?

I've seen people say "you don't have to add files to Codebuff", but Aider tells me when the LLM has requested to see files. I just have to approve it. If that bothers you, it's open source, so you could probably just add a config to always add files when requested.

Aider can also run commands for you.

What am I missing?
This is starting to look like a recurring theme. A similar incident happened this summer in Estonia [0], kidnappers from abroad travelled to Tallinn for the express purpose of kidnapping the owner of a crypto casino who resides there. Like it or not, information about wealth is starting to look like a serious safety concern, especially in crypto where retrieving the funds later is practically impossible.

There should be no surprise how any of this plays out - they were abundantly clear what their goals were. But these two parts next to each other are pretty funny:

> "The FCC is a New Deal–era agency. Its history of regulation tends to reflect the view that the federal government should impose heavy-handed regulation rather than relying on competition and market forces to produce optimal outcomes"

..

> The FCC should have four primary goals, Carr wrote. Those goals are "reining in Big Tech, promoting national security, unleashing economic prosperity, and ensuring FCC accountability and good governance."

> On Big Tech, Carr wants to implement Trump's 2020 plan to crack down on social media websites for alleged anti-conservative bias. At the time, Trump formally petitioned the FCC to reinterpret Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act in a way that would limit social media platforms' legal protections for hosting third-party content when the platforms take down content they consider objectionable.

Climate change aside, you do realize that States decide on gas taxes, not the Federal government, right? Which means that neither Trump nor Harris can do anything about what gas taxes CA decides to add, or any other State.

The current H5N1 outbreak has been going on for a few years, and the US already has a pretty good system for (slowly) vaccinating around half the population against the flu. And the US just switched from a quadravalent to a trivalent seasonal flu vaccine because one of the Influenza B strains seems to have disappeared. Would it have made sense to instead keep it quadravalent and add H5N1 to the mix?

91% of the population consumes animal proteins, and they generally aren't getting enough.

Sure, or it could have left you vulnerable in other versions.

Waiting for others to hopefully discover targeted security vulnerabilities and only updating after an ad-hoc timeframe if nobody shouts “FIRE!” isn’t a security posture, it’s just terrible patch management.
The chair does not have unlimited power, of course. Congress can expand or reduce the FCC's authority by passing new laws or eliminating existing ones. FCC decisions are routinely challenged in court, and a recent Supreme Court ruling limited the regulatory authority of federal agencies.

This is one of those moments where I'm disappointed that HN doesn't have support for GIFs, as I think the Jennifer Lawrence "OK" meme would be perfect in response to this.

> but immediately suggesting that they kidnapped themselves without any other evidence is insane.

Insane, or a famous form of security fraud that is mitigated by centralized banking systems and therefore highly attractive for crypto-owners.

It's a heads-I-win tails-you-lose situation. They were either kidnapped because the attackers knew there was nothing the CEO could do to defend himself, or he kidnapped himself knowing it was plausibly deniable and couldn't be tracked through traditional means. In either case it's reasonable to examine the extenuating circumstances and wonder why cryptocurrency is such a large target for crime.
Some places do, some don't. One of the other aftermaths of COVID-19 is that the assumption that there will be a timely federal response to a major public health emergency isn't one to be relied on.
I don't get how this would do away with the need for some kind of ETL. Most apps use highly normalised schemas that are completely unsuitable for analytical users.

Up to no good.

You're basically saying that scientist and "using systematic thought" should be synonymous. Why have two terms for the same thing? Whereas we definitely need a separate term for people who focus on empirical work, since that implies distinct properties of the kind of work. Mathematical and philosophical work simply aren't the same as scientific work, despite the non-zero overlap.

It's almost like there's a reason the common usage is the way it is.
Honest question: it seems like the left and right might really agree here on limiting the legal protections for social media companies. Don't we want companies like Meta to be responsible for misinformation?

Eh, the more I think about it though the more I can think of times that "Going by my gut" when my brain and gut disagreed where my gut was wrong.

Like suppose you're talking to somebody over text and your gut says they're being an asshole, but your brain is rereading what they say and can't find anything specific to call out.

Which is correct?

Well, I've found that the gut is systematically unreliable in a number of situations... Are you in a bad mood for example? They say never go food shopping when you're hungry.

Not to say mind > gut, because that's just as stupid as saying gut > mind. The point is that there are dozens of variables (variables like mood) we need to learn in such evaluations, and generalizations can rarely be useful.

> If they sell enough burgers at the same price and manage to cover their increased wage then that also works and doesn’t impact the customer at all. They may have already be producing those numbers but haven’t seen an increase in wage just because they’re looked down on as less deserving of compensation than people who went to college.

Restaurants are highly competitive. A fast food restaurant generally has ~25% of the price as direct labor costs and ~3% of the price as profit margin.

> I’m saying that increasing wages for 5 employees by a $1 doesn’t increase the cost of an individual good (burger) sold to customers by $5 so the burden to the customer to support this new paradigm is negligible, especially at the volume of food being sold. Yes the 5$ is made up somewhere but it’s spread out across multiple goods sold to multiple customers that share only small fraction of the burden for supporting that change. I don’t know how to state it more clearly than that.

Oh certainly, but then the spreading out comes back in again. You pass a law that requires the average wage to increase by 10%, so the price of the average item doesn't increase by $5 (i.e. 100%), it increases by ~10%. But then it's not just the burger that goes up by 10%, it's everything (on average).

Now, this result is not going to be uniform, but that's another problem in itself. For the average wage to increase by 10%, the wages of people who actually make minimum wage might have to go up by 100%, because there aren't that many of them. For them -- at least the ones who don't lose their jobs as a result -- the 10% is smaller.

But the other population for which the hit is smaller is the very rich, because they spend a lower proportion of their income. The CEO who makes 1000 times minimum wage is paying the same $5 for a burger as anyone else, so the 5% increase is a 0.005% increase in spending to them. Even if they buy a fancy burger for $100, 5% of that is still only equivalent to 0.1% for the person making minimum wage.

So if the hit is less to the very rich and less to the people making minimum wage (if they don't lose their jobs), where does the rest of the money come from? Oof, the middle class. They pay the higher prices and spend ~all of their income but don't get any of the money. And the goal is supposed to be to benefit the poor at the expense of the rich, not to hollow out the middle, right?

During Covid it was incredibly obvious how some people positively got off on bossing other people around. I was vaccinated and boosted, and I felt guilty for that when I saw signs saying people who aren't vaccinated and boosted have to eat outside. Even if they wear a mask. For a vaccination that didn't even impact transmission meaningfully.

It was hysteric circus, and it was cruel and gloating, too. I remember the graffitis saying "we'll vaccinate you all". Who does that? Who goes around at night and sprays that on walls and pavements? People who want to lord it over others is who.

> My assessment is the root is a desire to retain their status as “real Americans” who are socially on top.

Everybody should be socially "on top" in that there is no other human being, ever, who can tell me what to think, surely not by persecuting me with a manifesto they can't even coherently remember themselves, much less argue for in their own words. At that point the content doesn't even matter, even if someone tried to enforce world peace and equality that way.
It is still true. We just do it indirectly through economic shocks. Disrupt their economy with bombs/sanctions/tariffs/militias/etc, force them to sell at a discount, pat yourself on the back for just being a better businessman, then keep writing checks to both sides of the aisle--internationally even--to keep the hardships in-place. Wikipedia any South American country for examples.

I'll need to get approval to use this on that codebase. I've tried it out on a smaller open-source codebase as a first step.

For anyone interested:

- here's the Codebuff session: https://gist.github.com/craigds/b51bbd1aa19f2725c8276c5ad36947e2
- The result was this PR: https://github.com/koordinates/kart/pull/1011

It required a bit of back and forth to produce a relatively small change, and I think it was a bit too narrow with the files it selected (it missed updating the implementations of a method in some subclasses, since it didn't look at those files)

It is, in my observation, a popular HN myth that amenities only exist in hyper-dense and expensive cities. But it's not true.

In my very suburban (low density suburban, surrounded on two sides by forest) area the library is a 10 minute walk away at toddler-speed so my child has been an avid visitor as soon as started reading a tiny bit. Schools are also walking distance (high school will be a bit farther, but within easy cycling distance, about 2 miles). And yes, we have internet in the suburbs.

Oh hey, I've seen people like you. and it prompted me, several years ago, to do something similar with Voip.ms.

My "one number" was ported from a telco, and has lived at this paid service, with customer support, for over six years now. One side affect of this is, because it started out as a telco number, on't blackball it like they might other VoIP numbers.

Now all my SMS OTPs, real SMS, MMS, and transcribed voicemail all go to my email, which I consider impossibly convenient - real-time, but not dependent on a SIM card

It's not insane to have that possibility come to mind -- but it's unfair to individuals to voice a snap accusation like that.

Why it's not insane to consider that: people know that the cryptocurrency space is full of the unethical, and have seen many rug pulls blamed on theft by some mysterious unknown other party.

But, even if a $1M kidnapping was one of the standard cryptobro scam exits (it's not; it's chump change), you'd want more evidence before you start accusing someone who might actually be a traumatized victim.
