Brit here. Many of us are fond of using _any_ word/phrase with sarcasm, irony, or both.

> so "quite difficult" in England might mean "not difficult at all, you sodding idiot"

Depending on tone and other context "quite" can mean anything from a little to a huge amount. It can also mean exactly, as in "Well, quite.".

This is why you need to be careful in professional and academic contexts, or anywhere in writing for that matter, and use domain specific terminology as much as possible.
Or you should provide some evidence? What’s your source, “trust me bro?” It’s already a well established fact that the AMA lobbied congress to impose residency quotas, a position they continue to support. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that the (likely vast) majority of doctors support this.
Waste is kind of a stretch. Every outsider involved would be getting paid.

If I'm hosting a race, ensuring medical staff, etc are present it's not really a waste of their time if someone does get hurt/dies. It's literally why they are there. You could argue that their qualifications can be better used elsewhere but that applies to anything.

The link to the top level fsf domain without explanation, I think deserves a little annotation:

A definition of the difference between "free software" and "open source"

Both use similar licensing, the difference is in the motive and how that drives the nature of the project and the s/w it produces.

The original concept of "free software", was of s/w users banding together to write the s/w that they want to run. This motive drives an inclusive community of users, writing s/w with the benefits to the users as the top priority.

Open source is a model of using public licensing of s/w in an environment of producing a s/w product for sale. While this may use the same license as a free software project, the motive is entirely different: to produce a profitable product, not to directly serve the needs of users.

The amount of electronic paperwork seems to be much more than when it was all on paper.

When I was a kid my medical chart was paper. When I was around 13 years old the pediatrician’s office moved to an EMR.

It was more or less a digital version of the same chart.

As I have grown older, and with the benefit of having medical professionals in my family, I’ve seen how EMRs have changed from a distance. From an anecdotal perspective it seems like charting is more time consuming than it used to be. I’ve witnessed many different medical professionals using many different EMR platforms, and poor design seems to be a factor there.

They also deal with more information on a patient and in an aggregate form than paper charts ever did. From what I’ve observed I would venture a guess that more than a little of that is the result of neuroses and anal tendencies on the part of healthcare executives rather than quality improvement initiatives or research oriented objectives. There are other externalities like bad vendor implementation for CMMS requirements, or the continued granulation of conditions into ever more ICD codes, which then need crosswalk databases and interfaces and cross checks.

On the patient side, I’ve only ever truly been impressed by Epic’s portal. Every other one I’ve used is comparative garbage. I have recently been having a conversation with a manager at my doctor’s office trying to understand why and what changed so that chart data that used to be visible to me are now only visible to them, and why they can’t change that. It seems like the vendor implemented a forced change and I may just have to live with having ambiguously incomplete access to data I used to have access to, with no insight into what’s incomplete unless I already know.

With all of that said, at least there’s some access to one’s own health data. And comparing that to my birth records, which are functionally illegible (likely forever), at least what records are kept will be decipherable twenty years from now. Presuming they’re not mangled by a migration, which I’ve seen happen several times.

Hi Klokan,

This is a really project and really helpful to understand history.
I noticed that several data points about the Portuguese Colonial Empire are wrong, is there any place where I can submit a ticket about it?

When the royal succession crisis took place in 1580, according to the blood line, the King of Spain was indeed the next in line but both Kingdoms remain independent, you can also find evidence of this in the name: King Philip III was called King Philip I in Portugal, the following one (Philip IV) was named the Philip II. In Timemap, when you check 1580, it shows the Portuguese territories with the Spanish royal flag, which is wrong because everyone understood back then that if Spain tried to dictated anything about the Portuguese overseas territories, this would be taken as a declaration of war. This is reason why the Treaty of Tordesillas was signed, Portugal and Spain divide the world and would not step on each other.

Also found things like Malacca, the flag is missing the dates of duration: 1511-1641
Same for Macau, the map states that the Portuguese rule ended in 1845 but in reality it only became independent in 1999.
Many other important missing bits that, although technically they don't as territories, do represent groups, example: The city of Nagasaki was built/shaped by Portuguese merchants during 1511-1641 and was indeed under Portuguese administration during 1580-1586.

Among many other bits that would make this reply too long for HN.
Towards a true neural stance on consciousness [pdf]
That seems like short-sighted advice. My company probably isn't paying me to write crypto, web frameworks, database drivers, etc. If it's not where I'm adding business value, I would generally try to use a third-party solution, assuming there's no stdlib equivalent. That likely means my code is an overwhelming minority of what gets executed.

If C dominates your codebase or you're squeezing out every inch of performance, then sure, you may well have written everything libc is missing. In Python, or another language that had a thriving ecosystem of third-party packages, it seems wasteful to write it all in-house.
It's literally the title of the article: "YouTube quietly made some of its web embeds worse, including ours"
One layer of somewhat coplanar atoms.
I can understand how that might sound nonsensical. Here's where a simple thought experiment might help understand the difference.

To clarify, we should note that I have never --ever-- in my many comments on this subject denied the genesis of the problem. It is clear as day that we contributed a massive amount of CO2 and other gasses to the atmosphere. Let's get that out of the way. This isn't about denial of that fact.

Thought experiment:

Take an warehouse the size of a Home Depot (approximately 10K square meters or 100K square feet).

Seal it. Nothing new comes in or goes out. Air, water, nothing.

Make a 1 cubic meter pile of wood in the center of it and light it on fire.

Let it burn out.

Your job, now, is to clean it.

The energy content of 1 cubic meter of wood is in the order of 3 MWh.

How much energy will it take to clean 100% of the gasses and particulate matter generated by the burn and deposited on every square millimeter of this warehouse?

Of course, this question is impossible to answer, other than to suggest it will take a lot more than the energy expended to create the problem in the first place. This is a basic principle in physics. Right? You cannot use less energy to reverse a process.

Another way to describe this principle is that it is far easier to cause destruction than it is to reverse it. It is much easier to implode a building in Las Vegas than to clean it up and build a new one. Etc.

Humanity burned fossil fuels with incredible energy content per cubic meter. Massive, unthinkable amounts.

This is how we caused change.

And it will take massively more energy to reverse these changes.

And to do so quickly, it will take POWER. Massive amounts of it. Energy is power over time. It is easy to talk about energy and lose sight of this. Cleaning that warehouse to reverse the effects of the burn will take orders of magnitude more time than what it took to burn a cubic meter of wood.

And so, my argument is not at all misaligned with reality. Yes, we did this in a very short period of time. And yet, no, we cannot and will not fix it in anything even remotely resembling a human lifetime no matter what we do. If humanity ceases to exist it will require 50K to 100K years per 100 ppm drop. If we still exist, even if we implement the most draconian of changes, nothing will change. Not one bit. In fact, it is far more likely that atmospheric CO2 levels will continue to rise.

It would be far more intelligent to understand this and work on how to live in this reality. The planet will take care of itself. And no, humanity isn't going to die off any time soon unless we start launching nukes across continents.
One thing this gives you is syscall on the gpu. Functions like sprintf are just blobs of userspace code, but others like fopen require support from the operating system (or whatever else the hardware needs you to do). That plumbing was decently annoying to write for the gpu.

These aren't gpu kernels. They're functions to call from kernels.
This is one of the main problems with the "paleo" diet, which pretends that humans all ate exclusively red meat and...nuts, I think, they claim?

This is such an annoying limitation. With monitors it’s one thing, as DisplayPort is normally an option as well (though with an iGPU maybe not), but if you want to display on a high end TV? You need to go find an active DisplayPort -> HDMI converter that supports all the features you need.

> They are a very strong argument to immediately commence CO2 removal

You do realize that removing CO2 will require massively more energy than what went into adding it to the atmosphere, right?

In other words, unless you know of a way to violate the laws of physics without consequence, the concept of viable CO2 removal is a bad joke of tragic proportions. Anyone proposing this should be instantly laughed off the stage.

This is a fantasy. Which is why every single proposal for CO2 removal has failed as the scams they actually are.

> European medical systems do "ration" these in their own way, but via bureaucracy and waiting

Not in the two European countries I've lived in. The UK's NHS works without insurance and is admittedly a total shitshow in London, but I've heard that it's okay outside of the major cities. Other countries that have varying levels of subsidised healthcare with insurance don't ration in the way you're describing.

Entropy got a lot more exciting to me after hearing Sean Carroll talk about it. He has a foundational/philosophical bent and likes to point out that there are competing definitions of entropy set on different philosophical foundations, one of them seemingly observer dependent:

Is there any reason why most TVs still don't support USB C display port and just support HDMI?

With the recent drama around HDMI vs. Foss drivers on Linux, I'm curious why haven't we seen that bigger push from TV vendors to support USB C display port.

So... Are there any features of HDMI that USB C display port doesn't support?

Nobody is dying from the caffeine in coffee (like 50-100mg per cup). According to the NIH, LD50 of caffeine is 150-200mg/kg (so say 10g for a small person). That's like 100 cups of coffee. Even with espresso that's hard to imagine.

It would need to be in powder form or concentrated in something far beyond natural levels of coffee/tea/matcha/etc.

the big frontier models already have all laws, regulations and cases memorized/trained on given they are public. the real advancement is in experts codifying their expertise/reasoning for models to learn from. legal is no different from other fields in this.
I won't disagree with that. At the same time, I loathe code where I cannot comprehend what's going on unless I'm an expert in the syntax and esoteric language features. I spend more time looking at other people's code than my own.

Go's advantage here is that everyone's code has a much higher similarity score than other languages, both in syntax and semantics

Go was written primarily for software engineering over implementing programming language research ideas. It's more than the language, it's also the tooling, automation, and simplicity around it.

Agree in spirit, though again if it does go viral and they become embarrassed the most likely thing is they'd shut down public access to the cameras - which would be a lousy outcome for everyone.

My county has traffic cameras available online, though it's only static images updated once a minute or so. It's not that great but I still appreciate it, especially during winter weather. Every now and then if the weather seems bad I check the cameras to see what the roads look like before I head out. It's not a big deal, but I'd be a little annoyed if they took away public access because someone was trying to make some sort of statement or game out of them.
I'm sincerely skeptical of values. "Customers first", except when we are making money off of them. It's in part observing the actual action, and not just the talk. It's funny how guidelines becomes the rubric for a performance review, yet you are promoted or fired for completely different reasons. Too often the values are whatever the hell the management wants to interpret them to be, whenever.

It's perhaps a difference of "We dig ditches", vs "the manager dug a ditch last week, the prior week, and this week we are digging these ditches together." All that can change, but the tract record and the habits speak more than just a motto on the wall.
