We are trying to make our new tool Babla better.
Has anyone here experimented with AI-powered notetaking tools for clinical documentation? I'm curious what features you've found most useful, and more importantly, what's still missing from current solutions. Are there specific pain points in your workflow that existing tools don't address, or integration challenges with your current EHR system?
An actual real time voice translator
Enable multilingual one-on-one conversations on business trips, in the office, and on-the-go.

Many translation apps on the app store claim to be real-time for conversations. Actual real time don't need the other person to press the button to speak. It should be hands free.

Microsoft translator has real time but captions are gone the moment you speak another sentence.

My app has live translation for long speeches and one to one conversations with auto language switching.
thank you for this!! I <3 Taiwan. lol star wars font. I knew he was special from his GitHub photo XD
Was just wondering the same after seeing the headline!
Agreed, there are serious issues if the sender and receiver don't coordinate.

The feature already exists with only minimal DIY though. An alternative implementation would have to contend with the same social issue.

The easiest solution to the social coordination issue I'm aware of is the second option I mentioned. Hand out a unique address that you whitelist. Possibly burn it later if necessary.
Best read today. Social networks have a lot in common with cryptocurrency. Early adopters on instagram have a lot in common with early adopters with cryptomining computers in their bedroom.
There's a bit of a mix-up here. The “Search History Data – Not Linked with You” label you see on the App Store refers only to the searches you perform within the Home Connect app—not your full Google search history. Given that iOS apps run in a sandboxed environment, there's no way for the app to access your Google account. It’s a standard practice among smart home devices to enhance functionality, not to spy on your entire digital life.
Because (accidentally) mailing an unsubscribed user hurts your deliverability. And because there are users out there that will attempt to add spam traps to your mailing lists, sou you keep them off the list

How about a wifi feature that is useful on a LAN and doesn't need 'the cloud'? The annoying part of wifi appliances is that network connectivity almost always means phoning home to some server on WAN. Home routers or a separate box on LAN ought to have functionality to be the bridge between appliances and client devices instead. That's a standard I'd rather see.
Even incompetent people sometimes get things right. The new administration seems to be getting everything wrong, which implies malice.
That'd probably get you banned from the store if they find you doing that and at best, it's only going to get the message out to a few customers until the store staff remove the stickers.

Jeff's using his internet fame to reach far more people. I previously thought that Bosch were a good brand (only had a blender and a temperature controlled kettle from them though), but now will avoid them.
NVIDIA came out with its AI desktops just in time I feel. $4k vs $9k for a Mac Studio. Looks like Nvidia was correct in wanting to buy ARM as the home pc will be taken over by ARM soon.

Its great for western countries but the rest of the world needs China to get to parity on node size and crash the market.
This is just unbelievable. However, can you provide evidence of this being true?

Because this is class action level unbelievable.
> As a matter of fact I'm of the opinion politics everywhere would be a lot better if plenaries, committees and hearings were not recorded or televised in the first place.

At that point we might as well get rid of the press, as otherwise someone might be able to hold someone actually accountable to their actions and decisions. Taking the argument ad absurdum, might even go back to monarchy so we don't have to deal with informed (or quasi-informed) voters to begin with.

I get where you come from, that the public perception of politics is mostly soundbite-driven is indeed a huge issue, in my opinion probably one of the biggest issues of our century, as it allows absolute incompetence a democratic pathway to power by playing to human basic instincts and emotions.

But as long as we want to cling to democracy, the voters _must_ have a way of knowing who is doing what, who is involved in which decision, and what favors are being traded. How else is a voter supposed to make an informed choice?

EDIT:
To address the soundbite-problem, I think systems that are more oriented towards consensus democracy (proportional elections, chance for referendums etc.) rather than competitive democracies (first past the post, majority takes all) are more stable against it. Election systems should favor choice of opinion rather than choice of persons, if that makes sense. I think especially the US (for context, I'm Swiss) would benefit a lot from such changes; right now it seems all outrage-driven.
I had a security course at uni which was rather good and many things have stuck with me over the years. One of them is the importance of strict adherence to protocols. If you regularly enter a secure facility you follow protocol and show your credentials every single time. It doesn't matter if the security guard is a mate you've known since school. It doesn't matter how silly it seems. No exceptions. Ever.

I feel like this is exactly the kind of situation this is trying to avoid. Security should not involve thinking because thinking can go wrong. Security has to be blind adherence to stupid protocols.

The question then, is how to apply this principle to the case at hand. My suggestions:

1. Do not have clickable links in your email reader at all. Reject any email software that doesn't support falling back to plain text email or at the very least not downloading remote content and having clickable links. What mail readers work here?

2. Use the same protocol for accessing any privileged resource. For example, use a password manager outside of the browser, like KeePass, and start by clicking the URL you saved there. Never deviate from this protocol. You don't just "end up" at a password screen.
No, that might be the beginning of the standard, because once it's published you realize they don't have a version number or vendor ID or any way to add fields other than the ones they hard coded or whatnot. But it's a start and it would be great if they did it!

Postgres is just used for the site admin, i.e. keeping track of submissions, review status, subscriptions etc. The actual search index is in Apache Solr. In theory you could use Solr to store all the admin data, but it is generally not recommended to use a Solr style document store to master data. I guess something more lightweight like SQLite could be used, but it is intended to be deployed on servers and Postgres isn't too resource intensive.

Sure it would be nice, but just like all things, not to be pessimistic or fatalistic—the HN rejection of something doesn't practically matter to most companies.

The LLM was for an experiment in retrieval augmented generation, i.e. "a chat with your website" style interface, using Apache Solr as the vector store. Results (on a small self-hosted LLM to keep costs manageable) weren't good enough for the functionality to be fully rolled out, so the LLM has been disabled and is likely to be fully removed.
No, it is about decent lawmaking. Nothing stops Congress from delegating regulation-making powers to agencies. Chevron isn't about that. Chevron didn't involve any delegation of anything.

Chevron is about the statute saying something vague like "a term in a consumer credit contract is void if it is oppressive" and then the effective definition of the word "oppressive" being able to be "interpreted" by executive agencies at their whim with the courts being powerless to intervene. That is contrary to the rule of law. If there is a vagueness, that should be filled by a court supplying an interpretation and that precedent is then established. Law should be stable and predictable.

Remember the original Chevron case was based on the EPA changing its interpretation of "source" of air pollution under the Clean Air Act 1963 to make it much narrower. There was no statutory power for it to do so. Nothing in the Act authorised it. It unilaterally changed its interpretation of the law, and the Court said "that is fine, it is ambiguous, you decide what the law is and as long as it is a reasonable interpretation that is fine". Nothing to stop them turning around the next day and changing their interpretation again.

Probably not as the way things are defined in the STL is often not in line with what C++ programmers want for their code base.

STL adheres to zero-cost-abstraction, which often puts safety in the backseat. Many programmers, myself included, prefer safety by default with an escape route, when its really needed.

Add to that things like exceptions, locale-dependent behavior, functions with a dozen overloads, an overly complex memory allocator interface (`std::vector` vs. `std::pmr::vector`), etc.

Personally, I'd prefer a common alternative to STL that focuses on these points. ETL [1] and abseil [2] come to mind, but it's not exactly what I envision.

An essay on a similar analogy by Douglas Hofstadter in 1985:

"A Person Paper on Purity in Language"

https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655/readings/purity.htm...

An attempt to draw attention to unconscious sexism by reframing it as racism.

From the postscript by the author:

> Perhaps this piece shocks you. It is meant to. The entire point of it is to use something that we find shocking as leverage to illustrate the fact that something that we usually close our eyes to is also very shocking. The most effective way I know to do so is to develop an extended analogy with something known as shocking and reprehensible. Racism is that thing, in this case. I am happy with this piece, despite-but also because of-its shock value. I think it makes its point better than any factual article could. As a friend of mine said, "It makes you so uncomfortable that you can't ignore it."
This is a form of anti-intellectualism which is, for some reason, acceptable in technical circles. Probably because economic success gained by expertise in one field tends to make people think that expertise transfers to other fields. It’s a shame and the technology industry is worse off for it - especially as of late with all the half-baked philosophizing about AI.

commit e6f22569e9db16dbef7d9bdee5bb41b8cb7a03ca

Author: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>

top: attempt once again to allow help text translation

Back when our release 4.0.1 was being readied, sources
were sent to the TP (Translation Project). However one
person named Benno Schulenberg refused to release them
for translation. His stated reason was the top command
line help text which then finally included long forms.

He demanded that the help text be broken into separate
strings instead of a single large string. But, all the
top text (some much more complex) has just one string.
So that stated reason was, at the least, inconsistent.

[ I suspect the real reason was that Mr. Schulenberg ]
[ thought that the carefully right-justified English ]
[ wording would also be required of translations too ]

The bottom line was that Benno took it upon himself to
change the TP motto from "you code, we translate" into
"first we tell you how to code and then we translate".

Rather than bend a knee to that despot, I disabled the
text entirely, admittedly denying users a translation.
Now, with this commit we enable translatable help text
but with a hint included to ignore the justified text.

Because most people don't have anything on the LAN that can integrate with the appliance, and with just a phone app and the appliance, you're limited in computing power, background activity and storage (you can't store all usage data on the machine itself, and you can't rely on the phone always being on the same wifi to collect the data and store it).
It's nice to see compassion for Troy in the comments. Compassion within internet comments seems to be quite rare these days.

Ever since I switched to Qwen as my go to, it's been a bliss. They have a model for many (if not all) cases. No more daily quota! And you get to use their massive context window (1M tokens).
The number of correct digits in the answer grows exponentially with iteration count- "quadratic convergence" means we roughly square the error each time, so after many iterations we raise the error to an exponentially high power.
My understanding is that models are currently undertrained and not very "dense", so Q4 doesn't hurt very much now but it may in future denser models.
Plus in this case I don't even think it a copyright violation to analyze protected works. And even creating derivates of some form isn't, since that is the way any form of art works in the first place.

Sure, perhaps they would need a license to get the material, but I don't see how broken copyright laws will be of any help here.

The Hard Problem (Of Bitcoin)
Very cool! I came across your project last year while building https://digebu.de .

I wanted to build an "IDE-inspired" law reader. It has selection highlighting and you can open references within the same window. It scrapes gesetze-im-internet.de daily, processes the XML to JSONS and builds static HTML pages, hosted on Github pages. The entire build process for the 6000+ pages takes 5-10 minutes. It uses up less than <20% of my actions minutes that come with Github pro.

It was a really fun rabbit hole to go down.

What I found most fascinating is that: There doesn't seem to be an official version of the German law. The state just publishes official announcements like "Law X will be changed as follows", "Law X will be removed" or "Law X will be added". So the official version of the German law really is something akin to a git tree. AFAIK, all consolidated versions are created by private entities.

I did a test by picking a law at random, finding the first time it was published and then applying all the changes from subsequent years. Turns out all available versions (gesetze-im-internet, dejure.org, buzer.de) had at least a couple of small mistakes. I found that quite fascinating (and a little scary).

It's also funny how often laws are referenced that don't even exist anymore. The collection of laws really are is as tidy as you would imagine an 80 year old system, where the maintainers change every 5 years, to be.

While distressing, this was likely done specifically to 'pwn' Troy and not necessarily due to the email list on his blog being especially valuable to spammers.

If you were on that list, you're not suddenly going to get a huge influx of penis pill/spam emails (you might get highly targeted phishing attempts, but, if you're like most people your email can easily be found anyways).

Bulk spam is largely a solved problem, that's why big mailing lists divorced from the sending domain of their owners are mostly worthless these days (gmail/outlook/etc won't put an email sent to 100k people from a domain with no rep in the inbox) and quickly decay due to list rot and bad metrics. I know tons of people will fight me on this based on what used to happen decades ago, but it's true.

More targeted low volume Phishing on the other hand, that's the real problem today. Gmail/Outlook/etc. don't have very sophisticated ways to prevent that. Low volume or 1:1 emails get way less scrutiny than bulk emails (you can't conduct business with outside firms without some level of permissionless communication), so be on the lookout.

It would seem likely a brain stem lacking organism is an easier build than a single organ. All the cellular, organ specific organelle, organ and structural support is given, so the extra bits needed to feed and shape an organ are found organically so to speak.

In effect, editing out the brain may be simpler than building up a standalone kidney or liver. It's a sum of the parts greater than the whole thing. A standalone organ assumes the endocrine and other signalling is faked out along with nutrition and oxygenated blood. If you grow up a body from cells that divide and specialise you get all the mcguffin for free.

Plus, for a needed kidney, you get transplantable skin, liver, bone marrow, bones...

> social breakdown begins with an increase in prosperity and the weakening of sexual restraint ...

> that the decline of a civilization can begin in the decline of its music.

This essay suffers by ignoring the elephants in the room.

Any such analysis must look at how, for example, the Nazis objected to the "weakening of sexual restraint" during the Weimar Republic, and the "decline of ... music" to justify why they needed to take power. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerate_music

Nor was Nazi Germany unique. Authorities in the Soviet Union and the US both opposed, for example, jazz music; in the US, for the racist view that “wild African jungle music” was a plot to destroy American culture. (Eg, https://archive.org/details/ChristianPatriotsCrusadeF.AllenM... )

This is quite relevant as the author specifically regards jazz music as a sign of not being in decline.

Who gets to determine if music is in decline? She doesn't say.
