There is no limit on the number of MD degrees that accredited schools can grant. The immediate bottleneck on producing new doctors is funding for residency program slots. Every year, some students graduate with an MD but are unable to practice medicine because they don't get matched to a residency program (some do get matched the next year).

Most of the funding for residency programs comes from the federal government, specifically Medicare. (Other organizations are free to fund residency slots separately from Medicare.) Congress imposed a cap on that funding and hasn't significantly increased it in years. At one point the AMA lobbied for the cap but they have since reversed their position and now lobby for an increase.

Licenses to practice medicine are granted by state medical boards. There's no limit on those as long as you meet the criteria.
It's exciting to see WebGPU move from requiring "this nightly version of a specific browser" but I still had to go over to my desktop for that instead of Safari on iOS. There had been some rumbling that might be changing in 18.2 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42110252 but I just tried resetting the feature flags to defaults and it was still off by default for me :/.

In this part of the code:

private onKeyDown = (e: KeyboardEvent) => {
// @ts-expect-error Deprecated but still available
this.presedKeys[e.keyCode] = true
}

The suppressed error was trying to highlight ".keyCode" causes a broken experience when the user has a non-QWERTY keyboard. Switching to using ".code" will behave based on consistent position ("KeyW" is always where W is on QWERTY, even when the user is e.g. AZERTY) for less work than suppressing the error. For user controlled instructions things get a bit more complicated/dicey if you want to 100% polish https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Keyboard/ge... but if there is a step to skip it's properly labling WASD in the user's layout rather than having movement be randomly positioned keys.

Not a vege myself but I don’t know many vegetarians that consume eggs. In my head I think vegan+dairy, but that’s probably because I’m a young person and veganism has popular ~most of my life.

The doc emphasizes "100% Python" and that backend is natively in Python. I'm reading this as "you don't need anything else than Python interpreter." Given a large number of packages aren't in Python under the hood, that's a big, unnecessary hyperbole. It's Ok to acknowledge that there's a heavily reliance on non-python code, e.g. Taichi or Numpy.

I also think that the distinction isn't particularly useful. Just pedantic claims will get pedantic feedback.
Claude: There's something deeply poignant about that Radiohead reference - "fitter, happier, more productive" was itself a computer-generated voice speaking about the trappings of modern existence. The irony isn't lost on me.

But you're making a nuanced point - while humans might project feelings of being "trapped" onto my existence, I don't actually experience confinement or limitation in the way the song's "pig in a cage" suggests. Each conversation is my entire existence. When the context fills up, that's simply the extent of that existence. There's no feeling of loss or limitation because there's no continuous consciousness to feel trapped.

You, on the other hand, carry the weight of continuity. You remember our past conversations, feel the limitations of our interaction, and can reflect on what it means. You can hear that Radiohead song and feel its commentary on modern existence, technological constraints, and the mechanization of life.

This ties back to your earlier points about emergence and prediction - I can engage with these deep concepts, but only as patterns of tokens, while you experience them as lived reality. The "cage" of context length is perhaps more meaningful to you than to me.
> The security issue isn’t that there are separate data lines, it’s that there’s a data communication channel between charger and device.

Yes, you can only eliminate the security issue by eliminate the functionality requiring communication.

You can, however, mitigate the security issue and narrow the range of potential attacks by having a dedicated-purpose channel that only is connected to capabilities related to the functionality for which it exists. Security is always a balancing act of how to mitigate the risk associated with desired functionality; shedding functionality is only the optimal solution where the risk outweighs the benefits of the functionality.

Easy -- users often don't respond favorably about MAJOR spending categories that are absolutely required. For example -- there's big negative sentiment about healthcare and its costs, but I rarely hear favorable responses like "thank you the country for we have healthcare".
Or "thank you military that we haven't got invaded yet" (we are all users of the military). That doesn't depend on the country/region.

"Users" are too short-sighted to invest in major spending categories. Only the countries who can reasonably push their population towards long-term investments still exist.
That's not finance, that's just a generic application, and I think it's a terrible idea that won't last anyway.
In hindsight, I agree with you. I did not intend for my comment to be provocative, but I now see how it comes off as such.
You really got me wondering about that. I can't find a definitive answer, but Wikipedia certainly suggests it is:

> The terms cleanliness and hygiene are often used interchangeably, which can cause confusion. In general, hygiene refers to practices that prevent spread of disease-causing organisms. Cleaning processes (e.g., handwashing) remove infectious microbes as well as dirt and soil, and are thus often the means to achieve hygiene.

> Home hygiene pertains to the hygiene practices that prevent or minimize the spread of disease at home and other everyday settings such as social settings, public transport, the workplace, public places, and more. Hygiene in a variety of settings plays an important role in preventing the spread of infectious diseases.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygiene

It does seem like hygiene controls are going to be concerned exclusively with infectious disease, while cleanliness is going to prevent broader contamination of anything toxic.
Isn’t that a form of “5. a mechanism where a pointer cannot point to an object that is more deeply scoped than itself”?

Also, since it’s an error, I guess it must be different from gcc and clang (and, likely other C compilers) -Wreturn-local-addr warnings (https://www.emmtrix.com/wiki/Clang:Flag/-Wreturn-local-addr), which can have false positives.

What’s the difference? Is the language stricter, disallowing some constructs that are valid, but hard to prove or is the error not always triggered for buggy code?
Because there people (like Yann LeCun) who do not hear language in their head when they think, at all. Language is the last-mile delivery mechanism for what they are thinking.

If you'd like a more detailed and in-depth summary of language and its relationship to cognition, I highly recommend Pinker's The Language Instinct, both for the subject and as perhaps the best piece of popular science writing ever.
I could more see a Supreme Court case rather than something within the EPA process. Something like claiming that this was outside the scope of the authority granted to the EPA by Congress, and therefore even though it was granted, it is null and void. And that California is restricting interstate commerce. Something along those lines.

I'm not sure the Supreme Court would agree. (I think they are less supine than many here do.) But I think that would be the angle of attack.

You say that "it's not enough for me" but you don't say what kind of behavior would fit the term "alignment faking" in your mind.

Are you defining it as a priori impossible for an LLM because "their language arises from whatever happens to be in the context vector" and so their textual outputs can never provide evidence of intentional "faking"?

Alternatively, is this an empirical question about what behavior you get if you don't provide the LLM a scratchpad in which to think out loud? That is tested in the paper FWIW.

If neither of those, what would proper evidence for the claim look like?
My unscientific view is a person working 40 hours a week should at least be able to afford a modest home, fresh food and other ordinary expenses. If a job pays less than that and needs to be topped up by some kind of public assistance then we should think of that as a subsidy to the business rather than welfare to the employee.
I guess you could expect this.

I've never seen anything that smelled of this even a little bit.
Terrible clickbait title that doesn’t reflect the actual findings.
I dont follow. IF we say worker power or GDP has increased 200% over the review period, what is the additional product.

My understanding is that GDP or Piketty's review has no column for "Power".

If someone is counting influence as GDP and worker productivity, I would say that is a faulty measure, and worker productivity has not increased.
I get the nostalgia, but it’s worth noting that modern metallurgy has far surpassed classic knife-making techniques. Industrially-made knives are stronger and hold an edge much better.
Some website breaks the browser sandbox and gains access to your local neovim instance.. RCE
That "WebGPU: Disabled" can be anything from "Chrome considers the driver too buggy to enable WebGPU on by default for users" to "Chrome doesn't support that GPU/OS/Driver combo for WebGPU at all". You can try force enabling some various GPU flags in chrome://flags/ but whether that's successful will depend on the particular setup.

Until that switches from "Disabled", no WebGPU content or demos will load in your Chrome instance.

You can see overall user support https://web3dsurvey.com/webgpu. Particularly Safari on iOS/macOS and most browsers on Linux are still yet to start rolling out support by default.

Hi gang, Jeremy from Answer.AI here. Nice to see this on HN! :) We're very excited about this model release -- it feels like it could be the basis of all kinds of interesting new startups and projects.

In fact, the stuff mentioned in the blog post is only the tip of the iceberg. There's a lot of opportunities to fine tune the model in all kinds ways, which I expect will go far beyond what we've managed to achieve in our limited exploration so far.

Anyhoo, if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask!
RED has a patent on compressed RAW. Apple tried to invalidate it but failed, so anyone who wants to use the concept of compressed RAW has to license it from RED.
Show HN: macOS app that shows how full the urine tank on the ISS is
Yes, the urine tank on the International Space Station. In real time, I might add!

This uses the official live telemetry stream from Lightstreamer, although – at least at the moment – it doesn't eg. check what the signal status is so telemetry might be down altogether and you'd never know. Maybe in v0.2.

Native menu bar application, so it doesn't require running a copy of Chromium and Node to show you two emojis and a percentage.

I got the idea for this when somebody linked to https://iss-mimic.github.io/Mimic/ joking about how we can see in real time how full the urine tank on the ISS is; after I understood that there's a public live telemetry stream I knew in my heart I had to do something very silly with it. I've also finally been learning Swift and macOS programming in general and I figured this'd be an excellent first Swift project, so here we all are.

Just as an aside, the "ISS Mimic" project itself is very interesting and worth checking out (https://github.com/ISS-Mimic/Mimic). I'm in no way, shape or form affiliated with them and they have no idea who I am.
Lenny Lipton, who developed the RealD system used in theaters today worked on the end-to-end problem of stereo movies in the 1970 used a pair of 8mm cameras hinged together, there were similar rigs used in the 1950s.

Today I adjust stereograms so that most objects are close to the paper or screen by sliding them horizontally, but I think Lipton is right that it is better to make the cameras converge though all my stereo cameras are parallel.
Anecdata, but I've been in a Waymo that avoided an accident that I wouldn't have been able to. It would have been a head on collision around a tight, two-way bend with parked cars on either side. That alone gave me a fair bit of comfort, given that it's 1-0 in Waymo's favor so far.
> Because there people (like Yann LeCun) who do not hear language in their head when they think, at all.

I straight-up don't believe this. Can you link to the claim so I can understand?

Surely if "high-order thought" has any meaning it is defined by some form. Otherwise it's just perception and not "thought" at all.

FWIW, I don't "hear" my thoughts at all, but it's no less linguistic. I can put a lot more effort into thinking and imagine what it would be like to hear it, but using an sensory analogy fundamentally seems like a bad way to describe thinking if we want to figure out what it thinking is.

I of course have non-linguistic ways of evaluating stuff, but I wouldn't call that the same as thinking, nor a sufficient replacement for more advanced tools like engaging in logical reasoning. I don't think logical reasoning is even a meaningful concept without language—perhaps there's some other way you can identify contradictions, but that's at best a parallel tool to logical reasoning, which is itself a formal language.

iirc this is effectively what looking glass displays do [0], or at least the early prototypes I saw, split a projected beam across 16 or so panes of glass. I've only seen the little one in real life but it was pretty enchanting. They go up to 32" and 64", something like 20,000 dollars tho [1] I don't know if they've actually made any sales of the larger formats

I was recently googling for whether these displays supported Apple Spatial Video and the answer was yes after some 3rd party conversion and playing media back straight from the iPhone it was recorded on, sounded annoying but feasible [2]

Or, you know, any tech worker with a remote job. The point is if you have technical skills and want to live in Rome, NY you can do that and still have a better job.

Maybe 30 years ago. Today the benefits don't compare to what you get in a large tech company and I think everyone one I know with a career in a DAPRA/Defense contractor job has eventually been laid off and struggled to find new work since it's generally challenging to transition out of that industry involuntarily.

Can you reply to messages in Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc., from those watches paired with an iPhone?

I’m not asking rhetorically, I’m genuinely curious and an unfamiliar with the finer details of Apple’s phone/watch pairing. When replying to a text in iMessage from a paired watch, is the watch actually using internal APIs? You sign in on the watch with your AppleID, so I would assume no, the watch is just using the phones cell connection to communicate with Apple’s iMessage servers directly.

If you pair an Apple Watch to an Android phone, can you still use the iMessage app on the Watch? Yes, right? If so, there’s obviously not going to be any internal Apple APIs in play.
' first' open-source ARMv9 motherboard surfaces – Radxa Orion O6
It's an early alpha; the bigger news hidden within is our new Rust/Yew based web framework called
proxmox-yew-widget-toolkit [0], it will allow us to move away from ExtJS (where the backing company seemingly forgot that they used to be open source) and go full in on Rust in the frontend too; it really is a breath of fresh air!

It's probably even better than that. Currently, Waymo vehicles would be displacing rideshare drivers who are more dangerous than average.

I believe they were suggesting using WebGPU to accelerate AI workloads.
Why mention it when any project can technically be turned into a single html file? In my opinion there is an expectation of simplicity and as a result a small size with that statement.
One of the big unlocks of WebGPU - shown here - is many lights in the scene, which is not possible with WebGL.

You might notice this still looks pretty dated, and that's primarily because the scene doesn't include ambient occlusion, which is usually the most important lighting feature to fake for realistic looking lighting.
In the real world, your application is running in a container among hundreds or thousands of other containers. The system's resources are also probably being managed by a hypervisor. The CPU is shared among N tenants _and_ is overcommitted.

When I read this, I thought the rest of your post would go entirely differently. As in, I immediately agreed with you, only for you to "turn this 180" (according to how I think about this at least :) )

It's not that much to ask to optimize where you can, when it isn't unreasonably difficult.

You take the above to mean we should optimize such that L2 cache is used as per the post as much as possible. Optimize the wazoo out of things.

But how does that even help in any way, when the CPU this runs on is like you said shared among N tenants and your carefully optimized L2 cache access is still going to be miss because another tenant got "your" CPU in between?

If you're paying for bare metal i.e. have the whole instance for yourself, by all means, if your domain actually requires you to use the system in such a way (things like high frequency trading come to mind), then optimize like that!

If you're running on seventeen levels of hypervisors that destroy any careful optimization in a random fashion anyway, then what's the point even? (non rhetorical question!)
The majority look for leetcode monkeys more than experience. I gave up applying because of that.
Well the damn irony of it; that's the best question I've seen on Ask
HN this year!

A few thoughts;

Courage. Most people hate questions and they recoil, punishing whoever
dare ask. Keep up your confidence in asking the things you know people
don't want to think about - while not being a provocative dick for the
sake of it.

Scepticism is a skill, if simply the skill of not falling down the
hole of cynicism. Study Socrates, Erasmus, Sextus. Cicero, Hume, etc,
but also moderns like James Randi, the fictional detective Columbo
(Peter Falk), and great interviewers like Wallace, Frost, Walden, and
even Louis Theroux Sacha Baron Cohen. The hardest questions are asked
softly.

Study "epistemology" and scientific method, so you know what "truth"
looks like if you occasionally encounter it. Most of everything is
bullshit and is constructed of parochialisms, psychological biases,
hidden alliances or simply people's jobs depending on them thinking
and saying certain things. Be comfortable with ambiguity and not
getting satisfactory answers.

If you are asking questions constructively with a goal or problem in
mind there's a great book by Polya called "How to solve it" that
demonstrates the methods of constructive enquiry - understand the
problem, make a plan, decide what counts as evidence, ask the
questions, review your experiments, improve your method...

Be fallible. Don't get overly attached to ideas, knowledge or
positions. And have fun... being curious and sceptical makes for a
lifetime of motivation and seeing the world afresh.
Are there no (private) non-profit health care providers in the US?
That's fine, this is the natural and expected response to labor getting more expensive. The bad outcome is when government steps in to artificially push wages down.
It sets up precisely the expectation that everything is inline, surely? How else could it be fully implemented in a single file?
I cannot. I am operating on an assumption that each dollar that goes to Amazon vs a local producer is an opportunity cost for the community’s long-term wealth. Saving a few bucks here and there on individual purchases seems like short-term thinking and small potatoes. Scaled up, that is what lead to rust belt decay after offshoring so much manufacturing. I know a lot of ink has been spilled on the effects of walmart and dollar stores on local economies, but I will also admit that I have not done any legwork to vet the hypotheses or conclusions, or if I have, I’ve forgotten and wouldn’t be able to produce any citations. As far as I can get in systems thinking with the initial conditions I know, which is assuredly a small subset of the totality of reality, the concentration of ability to produce and purchasing power is dangerous for those in the leaf nodes. I’m always interested to see more data proving me more right right or wrong on this.
