This would be enormously expensive. The number of things an EMR thinks are an imminent threat will vastly outnumber the things that actually are thanks to liability concerns.

So now you need an extra on-call doctor just to filter out the false positives, or the on-call doctor gets notification fatigue and ignores them.

Or in the best case you send a lot of people to ER in the middle of the night for no reason. Again thanks to liability concerns, but this time on the part of the primary care practice.
Obviously you would prepare cold brew the night before.
The problem is that the outcome, what clients want, it's often mot clear, changes, sometimes depends on other people in the client's org, etc and it's a mess to have a fixed price contract in these cases
"OpenAI has banned the accounts of a group of Chinese users who had attempted to use ChatGPT to debug and edit code for an AI social media surveillance tool, the company said Friday."

Meanwhile, Microsoft, Meta, and Google are all furiously surveilling everything they can poke their AIs into.
TBF digital access and lookup is a far better solution for troubleshooting as opposed to gaining a holistic understanding of the car as an entity. It's more StackOverflow, less 'Inside Macintosh'.

More to the point, as cars evolve to digital control and signalling systems with associated firmware, the problems are increasingly diagnosed via the ODB or CAN-BUS and rectified at e.g. and Engine Management System level rather than at a mechanical level. This necessitates up-to-the minute sources of truth detailing the various firmware versions, caveats and advisories - much more suited to a digital medium and distribution channel.
> So, imagine the sentence "the customer canceled the order."

> - Customer is the subject noun

And this is wrong. Because the customer did not cancel the order. The customer actually asked for the order to be canceled. And the order was then canceled by "the system". Whatever that system is.

And that is the reason why it is not expressed as customer.cancel(order) but rather system.cancel(order, reason = "customer asked for it").

> Thus, order.cancel(). The subject noun is left implicit, because it is redundant.

Ah, is that so? Then, I would like you to tell me: what happens if there are two systems (e.g. a legacy system and a new system, or even more systems) and the order needs to be sometimes cancelled in both, or just one of those systems? How does that work now in your world?
Jupyter might have fixed this now because it’s been a while since I used it, but Mix.install inline in Livebook (or any CLI script) is so much nicer than how installing Python dependencies in notebooks was last time I did that too.
Exactly that, it's labor intensive, while tech tries to reduce labor intensivity by using magic or rules or whatnot. Related and larger scale projects are sites like Wikipedia or TVTropes, although Wikipedia makes use of a lot of automation as well.
Let's say your ISP gives you a /64. Now you have to use V6 NAT... or assign a /96 internally. SLAAC won't let you do that.

That, among other things, is a problem. SLAAC is too limited.

You can use DHCPv6 but then you can't use Android because Android, and I think they're alone here, stubbornly and dogmatically refuses to implement it. I guess you could go around and statically assign V6 IPs to Android devices, or run NATv6 with SLAAC for those and DHCPv6 for everything else, but that's annoying as hell.
Shouldn't that be 1% of emissions in the world? Btw, still more practical to address other stuff. Not that EV are a bad idea, but you can't force such change: the EU plans failed, because people don't have often a viable setup to switch to EV, so it should be made more incremental and together with other infrastructural changes.
Perhaps this is old data. Firings at FDA are over 1,000 and those particular jobs were paid by MDMs themselves. So, government spending will increase to cover the necessary legal work closing those cases.
There is a very large gap between being "rich" and having to turn every moment into money so that you can eat beans and rice. The general point upthread is that for many/most people, not everything they do has to be a "side hustle."

(And there are probably quite a few people here who are pretty comfortable who still look at a lot of activities through the side hustle lens.)
Sometimes they do. But often they do not. Look at the appropriations bill for USAID: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/8771....

> For necessary expenses to carry out the provisions of section 667 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, $1,214,808,000 (increased by $5,000,000) (reduced by $5,000,000), of which up to $182,221,000 may remain available until September 30, 2026

Section 667 of the 1961 Foreign Assistance Act just says the money is for “operating expenses” for administering the Act. Who decides how to spend that $1.2 billion?

A sovereign country creating and enforcing domestic laws is not a problem that can be overcome with software.
Yes. I've given reasons why punching people are bad in general. Unless you can give a counterargument why it wouldn't be bad, I think it's fair to conclude "punching someone in a fit of rage is universally bad". This isn't math where you have to prove the non-existence of something to prove something is a universal truth.
From what I recall from a bioinformatics course, I really doubt you can have your DNA fully sequenced for just $200. But, prove me wrong, do you have some resource saying otherwise?
Commendable stance from you. It's sad that big tech won't care and will index their content anyway. I wish terms of use like this were enforcable.
I think a large part of the success of Bitcoin can be explained by the combination: It allows people to say (and even believe!) that they're in it for the ideology, while the real motivation is primarily that of capital gains.
Yes pbcopy is a mac thing. On Linux, there are of course many different commands in different environments/distros. xsel, xclip, wl-clipboard, wlclip to name a few.

On windows, powershell has Get-Clipboard and Set-Clipboard, and cmd.exe has `wsl` to fix the issue of having used cmd.exe to begin with.

This one is completely wrong. They wouldn't do this as they'd lose out on a ton of transaction fees.
Did you run the Aider benchmarks to get a comparison of Claude Code vs. Aider?
Hey, I'm embarrassed to release this often, which is kind of the mantra around here, right?

Long story short is that I've decided to build an API service that wraps many of the most useful libraries and other services, even those "one-feature" SaaS offerings.

Be gentle, I'm sharing it to poke and critique.

I have some colleagues in F50 companies who asked to have a service like this deployed internally because of a number of bureaucratic reasons.

It is easier to get an internal API approved than it is to add it to the existing compiled/deployed software stacks. (weird, but it is what it is -- mostly about software supply chains)

Anyway, go look at the openapi spec and see that it is mostly just about scraping and format conversions (for now).

What's really the value of a bunch of random anecdotes on HN — but in any case, I've absolutely had the experience of 3.5 falling over on its face when handling a very complex coding task, and o1 pro nailing it perfectly.

Excited to try 3.7 with reasoning more but so far it seems like a modest, welcome upgrade but not any sort of leapfrog past o1 pro.
One of the reasons SO works is that the correct or best answer tends to move toward the top of the list. AI struggles to do this reliably - and so its closer to SO where the answers are randomly selected and you have to try a few to get the one that's correct.

Also, I bet your father imagined the carpenter's toolbox full of well accepted useful tools. For many of us, non-bad carpenters, AI hasn't made the cut yet.

Perhaps they should have also had a chat with their PR departement. And anyone responsible for company strategy. Becose the actions of the legal department just backfired.
Exactly right. Revanchist politics lead to boom/bust debt cycles in government. One party spends way too much and hurts the citizens, the other party uses their mandate to fix the overspending as a pretext to subvert government controls and agencies, and slash and burn in a way that hurts citizens. And 95% of the population blindly, religiously even, suport this and yet don't feel at all responsible for the current state of affairs. "They did it!" seems like the new American ethos.

I had high blood pressure for 30 years. ER visits. Multiple cardiologists in SF.

I had a nodule on my left adrenal gland. Hyperaldosteronism.

I diagnosed this. Not the doctors.

The doctors missed this for decades.
I don't know how OP does it, but Elo ratings are a pretty good tool for this kind of thing. In each pairwise comparison, the selected option "wins", the other option "loses", and ratings are adjusted accordingly.

You can incorporate priors by setting initial ratings differently, or force correlations between items by treating a win against option X as something like 0.8 wins against option X and 0.2 wins against options correlated with X.
> People will not know to ask about platelet count.

I would. You would.

My point was that this isn't revolutionary/interesting. AI w/ camera can detect apples that have bruises, but AI's cousin Vision/ML has been doing this since at least the early 2000s.

Further to my point was that while yes, using all of the ways the author went about identifying the issue (picture etc) AI makes for a nicer UX, it wasn't required, nor was the invasion of privacy into the author's medical history required.

The author torched a forest to figure out their issue when burning the paper mill would have done the trick.

this is why i like the 'secure by design' or 'secure by default' responsibility being put on connected product providers, e.g. EU CRA and implied in US M-22-09.

i am always fearful of unintended consequences of regulation like this, but it does seem necessary in today's world.
Oh yeah I'm sure it's not super accurate, I just mean the specific task of diagnosing a patient would seem to benefit from a LLM-like piece of software.
AI Comes to the Apple Orchard–From Pollinating to Picking
I'm not so sure it's expensive (in general at least, not sure about their case). I think the typical approach for encrypting data is: Use asymmetric crypto to protect a master symmetric key. Then use that master key to get per-data (eg per file) symmetric keys. Then encrypt all the data with the data symmetric keys.

You can just replace the non-pq asymmetric protection with pq asymmetric protection.

I can't see any mention at all of bruises being a symptom in the article, did I miss that bit?
Also if you're going to fill an article with ai-generated images, can't you at least photoshop in some correct text instead of getting an AI to try and writing the text for you? "Honestly? chatgpt convunced me." isn't awful, but "Ancôoidions, your instructions." is completely incomprehensible to me
Parquet files being immutable is not a bug, it is a feature. That is how you accomplish good compression and keep the columnar data organized.

Yes, it is not useful for continuous writes and updates, but it is not what it is designed for. Use a database (e.g. SQLite just like you suggested) if you want to ingest real time/streaming data.

That's the most interesting thing to me; is this to the point where you could ex. drop it in to a Gentoo box with nothing but a USE flag and switch everything over to use it? (Sadly it's API compatible but not ABI compatible so we're still talking about needing to recompile, but sometimes that's a minor matter)

Suppose an independent researcher with a background in linguistics solves P vs NP. Unlikely but not impossible. Who on earth is going to take a look at their paper? No one credible, that’s for sure.

So even if someone has the funding and the will for independent research, the problem remains of confirming the validity of their research. This is a research problem in its own right. Ideally we have a system of peer review to validate research, but in practice we use a weak form of argument by authority as a loose proxy for reproducibility. This works better for some fields than others. I know I immediately go Scott Aaronson’s blog to determine whether some new “quantum breakthrough” is actually plausible. It’s a decent proxy in this field for correctness. But psychology? Much more difficult to find a good proxy.

Luckily I think mathematics is already moving in a direction that will eliminate the validation problem. Think you’ve solved the Collatz conjecture? Submit your Lean proof to an automated proof checking system hosted on a university website and if it validates, someone famous is going to take a look at your proof even if you never finished high school. We’re not at that point yet, but it’s inching closer. The group that proved the value of BB(5) received a lot of serious consideration of their work despite their unconventional backgrounds due to having a formally validated proof on hand. Without that proof? Hard to say whether the claim would have been reviewed.
Does the ceramic mug become a factor? As in adding milk first allows the milk to absorb heat that otherwise would have been stored in the mug too quickly and then radiate back into the liquid over time slowing its cooling curve. (I have no idea btw I just enjoy trying to come up with gotchas)
The comparison is against zlib-ng, not the OG zlib. So this is still very impressive.

I suspect the results won't be quite as good on Aarch64 or other architectures though. zlib-ng has a pretty wide range of hand-optimized intrinsics whereas zlib-rs seems to only really have x86_64.
It is helping out the collective to give AI a tutorial on undocumented matter. Yes, you don't receive anything in exchange (except personal achievment and growth from writing, as many have commented). But making a world a better place is more important for some people than personal fame and recognition.

If AI systems are crawling everything we write publicly, we have a certain responsibility to teach it the right things. It's like our common child we're raising through what we leave open on the internet.

OSINT communities use discord to communicate and discuss information from mostly twitter and telegram and organize and share the packaged information.

Information organization is hard and lots of work. Not everyone (or every community) has the same need to organize information, and not everyone has the ability or inclination to do so.

Information getting lost on discord is a problem, but that just means the useful stuff needs to be archived elsewhere, and frequently there is another distribution network involved.

Uber broke the law that protects traditional taxi drivers from having competition under the guise of passenger safety (taxi drivers have the same driver's license as any other driver, no additional safety certs). The public was way too happy to use Uber and that's why it's now forbidden where I live (a country in central EU).
I constantly see in a couple of locale-specific subreddits that say "Does <agency_name> do this? how long will it take?".

Yes, I think failing to identify themselves is a big problem and they (security company) probably deserve what happened to them, I wasn't trying to imply that they did nothing wrong. And I'm not trying to victim blame either... but in this case I think indeed nothing bad would have happened if the woman's conduct was different... at the end of the day, everyone needs to be held accountable for their actions either way.
I don't have an expert medical system from the 1960s and an IBM 360 to run it on. Or a checklist [that I know is relevant]. Or a reference book [that I know is relevant, and know where to look in it, and what to look for].

At first read this seems really promising. Getting into Elixir/Erlang ecosystem from Python has seemed too hard to take the time. And when there I wouldn't be able to leverage all the Python stuff I've learned. With Pythonx gradual learning seems now much more achievable.

It wasn't mentioned in the article, but there's older blog post on fly.io [1] about live book, GPUs, and their FLAME serverless pattern [2]. Since there seems to be some common ground between these companies I'm now hoping Pythonx support is coming to FLAME enabled Erlang VM. I'm just going off from the blog posts, and am probably using wrong terminology here.

For Python's GIL problem mentioned in the article I wonder if they have experimented with free threading [3].

I'm no longer UK based, but from what I can observe at a distance, it's transformed the market rather than killed it. Listings for contract roles seem to be labelled either "inside" or "outside" IR35 depending on the requirements and conditions. So yes, whatever contracts are available are probably on average much less tax-favourable to the contractor than before the changeover, but whether that's affected the overall market volume I couldn't say.
SLAAC is awesome, but DNS support in it didn't show up until much later. The result is a mish-mash of DHCPv6/SLAAC support (and android famously doesn't support DHCPv6 at all and windows only supported DHCPv6 until windows 10).

On the provider side, it might be useful to automate the analysis of various patients, particularly ones who have elusive diagnosis. I hear stories of some patients who sent from specialist to specialist trying to figure out what's wrong with them where the symptom is obvious but the cause is not. I had a colleague who had vertigo and it took 6 months to figure out what was going on. She couldn't work or drive. AI/ML might help in that scenario on the provider side. I understand it's pretty good at analyzing imaging as well.
Plenty of people are ragging (justifiably) on Clean Code, but I really admire by contrast Ousterhout's commitment to balanced principles and in particular learning from non-trivial examples. Philosophy of Software Design is a great and thought-provoking read.
