> Article is about health impact and explicitly not about carbon emissions.

Yes. But air pollution is a negative externality that is not priced in for polluters/consumers, in exactly the same way as CO2.

You could argue that the case with air pollution is even more straightforward than with CO2, because those damages and costs are fully shouldered by the local population (unlike the consequences of climate change, which is probably gonna be felt more acutely in countries like Bangladesh, and thus less of a problem from a US citizens PoV-- note that this is not an argument I endorse).

> It also strongly implies “we don’t want you to pay, we simply don’t want you here”.

This feels like conjecture to me. The message of the article to me was "Tech giants operate data centers for hundreds of billions, but they are not paying for the consequences of their emissions which are mainly felt locally (costing billions)". That is not "we don't want you here" to me, but instead a "you should be responsible for the consequences of your actions".

I'm not exactly sure what your actual positions is. Are you arguing that industries/consumers should be exempt from paying the actual price for things (including external costs), because this (indirectly) subsidises local industry? And where do you draw the line? Because surely "the local gold extraction industry may freely pollute rivers with mercury" is across that line?
I think the suggestion is that the EMR should flag dangerous conditions like this, and notify the doctor on duty to at least take a look at it.
1.) If you did not seem enough, it is because you was avoiding it. Project 2024 also literally describes much more then just privatization.

The goals of conservative movements were always visible and open, alteought enablers preferred to demand everyone uses euphemisms.

2 ) You did used those words. You knew it was exaggeration and even now you are exaggerating. Plus even milder claim is purely false. You got what you wanted politically, so this strategy of false equivalencies, of blaming democrats of what conservatives do and plan to do is getting really hollow.

Bo sides were not the same, you just create such impression by using euphemisms for one side and exaggerations for another one.

3.) No one on the right has any business to use the word meritocracy. They never wanted ine, occasionally using that word to manipulate. Right now, qualified woman amd black man were removed from leadership position amd replaced by mediocre unqualified man.

Right now, qualified people are replaced by unqualified loyalists.
Constraints are to state machines as lines on the road are for public safety.

This is likely to get downvoted, but in my experience with the health care system in America, I'd prefer consulting ChatGPT over ~50% of the doctors. Too many doctors who I have no idea how they graduated from med school, and even worse, advocate for solutions that maximize profits.

If I can provide one advice is to always question your doctors. Get multiple opinions on serious issues, and educate yourself like this person did. Come prepared to doctor visits and don't be afraid to challenge them if they tell you something that contradicts what you learned.
Show HN: API Gateway to integrate all 3d party APIs
I frequently face numerous challenges when working with third-party APIs - error handling, logging, caching, retries, mocking, and more. I spent hours making them work, so I created an app to automate integrations.

Currently, the platform offers the following functionality:

- Set up services with multiple endpoints: Configure caching, retries, mocking, response transformation, and fallback responses.

- Define authentication:- Real-time Swagger/OpenAPI integration: Test your endpoints directly in the browser.

- Handy code snippets: Easily copy and paste requests.

Feedback needed!
It's not an either / or though, this is a generalized LLM (app being a chatbot), there's also specialized LLMs for things like writing code, prose, etc.
Other comments have since suggested this was an emergency order where the CA didn't have their lawyer present. The courts said "don't do anything for a week while the real paperwork happens". I don't know the cases in question well enough to figure out if that is correct, but it seems reasonable. But also a week is not very long.
If that is the case, let me make it clear then: I don't support the transgender community, according to their preferred definition of support.

I support their rights to maintain a general secular employment, protection under the law from undue discrimination, and protection from physical violence. I do not support them in forcing people who believe in biological genders to conform to their will; and I never will.
Overview and Items have the same form and style, so it is easy visually to confuse these.

Coming from Erlang, I think macros are one of the things I'm ambivalent about in Elixir. There are a bunch of actual improvements besides just the syntax itself in Elixir, like string handling, but things like macros in Ecto ... not yet a fan of that.
And yet, "DeepSeek R1 + claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022" scores 64% on the same benchmark 30% cheaper.

Pretty much any standard notion of time complexity requires one to assume a random access machine, or else e.g. an array access is O(index) time.
Wow, I'm glad you figured it out and I bet those two weeks were hell. With anything health related, I think information found online and information from AI tools should just be considered helpers toward determining something more specific that you can address. I certainly would not vouch for all AI assistance, and you shouldn't just give more weight to an AI system more than an article from a supposed expert necessarily. But, if you know you are working with good tools (like Claude Sonnet, which I would recommend for this particular case we're talking about) they shouldn't steer you too far in the wrong direction. Claude specifically has been the gentlest, most helpful general assistant I've ever had, but I don't ever lose sight of the fact that these are simply tools helping me, a non-perfect human with a lot still to learn, and I wouldn't recommend using them as any kind of "authoritative" solution, just something that's about the best help I've had with this kind of stuff so far. The final decision should be between you and your doctor.
> It would certainly send a strong message, and cause a lot of chaos, if the biggest CA on the Internet found itself being removed from trust stores. Yet, there's no particular reason it couldn't happen. How exciting.

Trust stores and Browsers specifically have more options than simply remove a CA. A more reasonable approach for distrust process of a CA this size would be to stop accepting any new certificates issued after a certain date. Then existing customers will have a heads up and even if asleep will find out the bad news during scheduled renewal rather than while the responsible employees are on vacation.
Sometimes it just hits in such a way that you have no idea wtf is happening. One time I couldn't read because letters just didn't have meaning any more. It looked like alien unicode characters or some shit.
And nor should there be. PCPs are basically by definition for non-emergent situations. If the PCP was at all concerned that the patient had something that was an immediate threat, they would have sent them to the ER in the first place.

Having someone on-call to deal with routine lab results that just happen to catch a possible imminent threat would be an enormous waste of resources.
The linked chatgpt chat is talking about a cardiac arrest, not low platelet count
Yes but people can genuinely forget the exact words they spoke time ago, even one minute ago, or a whole conversation. Examples: Who did I talk to yesterday? Did I met that neighbor of mine yesterday or was it the day before? I don't know.

Actually, people are realizing EV are better than advertised. Batteries are lasting longer than the warranties. Also, Chinese EVs are very inexpensive so this indicates the price of EVs everywhere is going to drop a lot in the near future, even if Chinese EVs are banned or tariffed in some countries.
Absolutely disgusting. What a nation we are.
I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't able to jockey into a position that sees their continued success. That's what they are good at right?
I think parent comment is suggesting it's dangerous for you to publicly tell others that ChatGPT is better than their doctor at diagnosing them (however little of your doctor's attention you get) regardless of whether there is or isn't truth to it in certain cases.

People can't know when they should/can trust an llm over a doctor. People will also misuse LLMs in the context of medical diagnosis where asking the right questions and examining the right places (and properly) can be critical.

People have biases, people can have psychosomatic symptoms, people can be easily influenced, etc.
My previous PCP used a system that would tell me my results are in, but I wasn’t allowed to view them until the doctor called me to talk about it.
Arguably the issue in your friend’s case is providing the patient with a document that’s not designed for them. Radiology reports are written with a particular audience in mind.

They are also written with a particular medicolegal perspective, which the intended audience will appreciate.

I often give my patients copies of their results/reports, which gives me an opportunity to explain them.

If we are going to send reports to patients directly, maybe they need to be written differently? Who should pay for that different report to be written/checked?

We already have AI tools for prioritising the order some tests are processed in (e.g. which X-Rays the radiologist looks at first). But once the report is written the author has a responsibility to ensure any urgent result is escalated. As a requester (I order tests), if I result needs urgent action within days or less, I expect a phone call to myself or another doctor in the practice.
They are not the same thing.
Additional notes here, the author of the article in this topic clearly indicates on her page that she writes alongside "Taylor Script", her AI counterpart. So now the line is even more explicitly blurred. An AI definitively was involved in the creation of this content... so now the question is, to what degree does the content relate back to real world events? Only the author knows I guess.

Handy for when you just want to listen to the HN comments. Works with Kokoro or Openedai-speech.
I am also curious, but at the same time the older I get the less I care. For me everything that matters is often not that. Sure completely inexplicable design is bad, but in the end ... I'm not sure how much it matters when it comes to the SaaS getting the job done.
You are confusing OBD for OBDII. OBD was always enough, but also manufacture/vehcile specific. OBDII was required by law and never enough except for some really basic (but common) things.
Happened in a contrived example.
This reminds me the so called dark ages where western people just conveniently skipped through 1000 years of very productive knowledge of development and contributions from the Arab and Muslim world centered around Toledo, Spain and Baghdad, Iraq as it never happened [1].

The false narative is that it's straight from Greek and Roman era to the Renaissance era as if mathematicians and scientists were just fall asleep in the entire world where in actual fact in the Arab and Muslim world many thousands of books from Greece/Rome/India/China were painstakenly translated (no Google translate, no printing press) and many more new books were written.

That function covers 2⁶⁴ inputs, not cases. It handles only one case: converting an angular value to (half of) a cartesian coordinate.
What research there is about SOTA LLMs and diagnoses does suggest they are really good.
To be fair, This is what AI is good at. No matter what problem you're trying to solve, AI will provide a solution.

In this case, lab result analysis was entirely based around standard care protocols that LLM is really good at regurgitating back to you.

Yeah sure, anyone could probaly promt feed this into a homeopathy solution which would have killed the patient as per their own predisposed will. You could argue a standard programmatic diagnostic evaluation would be better but its not entirely clear wether human decision making improves based on webMD above an agitated Chatgpt urging you to seek professional help.

And now that I think about it more, no one except doctors and AI could reliably improve diagnosis based on a picture and lab results side by side. So if your healthcare system doesn't provide a response then chatgpt might actually be the closest neighbour in time of need.
One of today's lucky 10,000. His mind is about to expand beyond imagination.
I have met a lot of people who live in poverty. They're not all that interested in making money (although they are not necessarily averse but it's definitely never an all-consuming priority). By and large their focus is on human connection.

It's not the default human condition to be consumed by greed any more than it is any of the other deadly sins.
The danger is on the other side, you give the AI all your symptoms, it tells you you're fine, nothing is wrong, don't do anything. And then you ignore it and don't go to the doctor and fall over dead.

Unlikely, probably. ChatGPT aims to please.

There's also the risk that it recommends something that is in appropriate, but within your ability (like over-the-counter meds that shouldn't be used in your condition).

But - all this stuff happens all the time anyway. Most people don't involve a doctor until they encounter something really wrong that they don't recognize. They're more likely to mention it to someone else offhand and may take whatever recommendation they get.
OpenAI bans Chinese accounts using ChatGPT to for social media surveillance
> Far more reliable, no risk of hallucination.

Only as reliable as the information contained in the system. The whole point of an LLM is to agglomerate as much information as possible with little manual intervention which causes them to both be a) far more intelligent and knowledgeable than any old-school symbolic expert system, and b) also more prone to biases and hallucinations.
Yeah, I don't feel like there's any strong rule on these things apart from "what sounds good" unless the male ending exists like -ien

I've heard at various times in my life the various feminine endings applied to same profession - people playing around with what sounds good or a generational thing. -esse -ice -enne -euse

There's also the debate in gendered languages over whether one should never use feminine endings on professions, and keep them generic, or always use them for all professions for consistency, avoiding suggesting certain professions are male vs female, while ensuring women are visible in professions where they used to be rarer.
> I bemoan the fact that we must sometimes use a human language instead of a programming language. Human languages are imprecise and full of ambiguities. Using a human language to describe something as precise as a program is very hard, and fraught with many opportunities for error and inadvertent misinformation.

1. Why are you making a phone call in the first place, your agent probably got the number from the internet, just keep using that.
2. If you insist on initiating the conversation over a phone call, why not immediately terminate the call and again, go over the internet once you realize that it is an ai to ai conversation.
3. You did in fact re-invent a modem but worse, the quoted speed on that library is 8-16 bytes/sec, and i would like to point out that the Bell 103 did ~37 bytes/sec, and was released in 1963.

Medical experts have done teardowns of House episodes and most of what happens in the series wouldn't happen in real life, that is, diagnoses are better than how they are depicted there.

I meant that the book is interpreted differently by different people. (That no-one takes it as religion, but that some read it as recommending to "create a mountain of unnecessary abstractions", and others read it that "add necessary abstractions".)
No. Maybe if you abandon all logic.

With an LLM, we’re trying to efficiently search the entire space using as many granular, personal attributes as possible.

We’re trying to find plausible hypotheses. Especially those that haven’t been considered.

The final determination and action is still a partnership between you and your doctor.

I had great plans to feed Erowid's database through Claude to get a better classification of drug phenomenology. Sadly they have explicitly disallowed the feeding of Erowid reports into LLMs: https://erowid.org/experiences/email_warning.php

I appreciate the stand they're taking, but the potential for greater understanding and harm reduction seems to outweigh any potential downsides of putting public webpages into an LLM.
She tried, but the point was that the doctor wasn't available at that moment.

> A narrow definition will appear less frequently and thus probably have higher informational content. It's why a word "a" has little informational content, but a very specific word like "vestibular" has more informational content.

I agree that "vestibular" refers to a more particular concept. I don't see how it follows that "vestibular" is a "more useful" word in the sense that implies we should be redefining other words to be likewise narrow in definition. If anything I'm pretty sure most would consider "a" to be the "more useful" word due to how applicable it is. But, really, language needs words for both narrow and broad concepts.

> Sure, but text format, means a textual format, i.e. uses text [...] Or maybe plaintext.

To my understanding, you suggested using the term "THE text format on Linux" as a replacement for "machine-readable" (as it is currently used). My objection was that those concepts are not the same and, in fact, binary files tend to be machine-readable moreso than text files. I'm confused how stating that text is textual addresses that.

> or more precisely, can be rendered as bytes

Many things (including, say, an 8-bit image) can be rendered as bytes. Would probably say it's instead about whether the data is in a UTF-8/ASCII/etc. encoding.

It costs UNICEF about $4 for a single malaria vaccine[1].

"Globally in 2023, there were an estimated 263 million malaria cases and 597 000 malaria deaths in 83 countries." [2]

" In the 20th century alone, malaria claimed between 150 million and 300 million lives, accounting for 2 to 5 percent of all deaths" [3]

There's a widely claimed factoid that Malaria has killed half of all people ever born, and while that might be true, there's plenty of debate you can find about how accurate that claim is. In any case, Malaria is one of, if not the, most deadly infectious disease in human history.

We could have wide-spread elimination of malaria transmission now. We could eradicate malaria with further developments. [4]

> IMO, saving one life justifies every cent invested into OpenAI.

Common reporting says openAI spent $5b last year. That's 1.25b vaccines. The population of Africa is 1.5b, and Africa has the most malaria cases of any continent. So you could make a really, really big impact in that 263m cases/597k deaths per year just by investing in something that already exists.

>The issue with Apple caving to UK demands regarding encryption

Apple "caving" would've looked different; in fact, we probably never would have known, given the insidious nature of the underlying statute in the UK.

Apple is making noise about the fact that they pulled the product, and the tech press is making it clear WHY even though Apple itself is legally prohibited from giving any additional context.

I feel like that was probably the best move available to them given the cards dealt. Fighting in secret courts is unlikely to be fruitful.
Would ChatGPT use tools to analyze this? Or are we talking raw data in the context window?

Have you done this? Any interesting results?
