41,809,402 | comment | jackcosgrove | 2024-10-11T13:39:21 | null | How long does calibrating an on-the-wrist sensor take with a cuff?<p>I used to work at Higi which has many blood pressure cuffs in public locations. I'm wondering if it's practical to calibrate a smartwatch sensor at one of these, or if it would take too long when you're grocery shopping or at the pharmacy.<p>I'm also wondering if new generation cuffs are required. The cuffs we used would be pretty old at this point. | null | null | 41,799,324 | 41,799,324 | null | [

41,809,409 | comment | stetrain | 2024-10-11T13:40:23 | null | So the announced price for the ~300mi, dual-motor version in 2019 was $49k.<p>Today that price is $79k. ($99k if you want the first-edition Foundation series which has been the only one delivered to customers so far).<p>CPI inflation calculation puts $49k in 2019 as $60k today. So inflation means the price should have gone up ~$10k, but it has actually gone up ~$30k.<p>Also in 2019, $69k was supposed to get you 500 miles of range. The highest range configuration of the truck they shipped is 340 miles, with potentially up to 470 miles if you fill half the bed with an additional $16k battery pack that is only installable/removable by a Tesla Service Center. Nobody has seen this pack demonstrated yet or how it will handle things like Supercharging. Having half the bed taken up to achieve the max range was definitely not part of the 2019 sales pitch. | null | null | 41,807,314 | 41,805,706 | null | null | null | null |
41,809,410 | comment | titzer | 2024-10-11T13:40:27 | null | > crash the WASM instance<p>I guess it depends on how you get to said crash, but no, data races on Wasm shared memory cannot "crash" anything. At worst racy reads/writes can produce garbage (primitive) values and put garbage bits into memory locations involved in the accesses. Putting garbage bits into a Wasm memory could lead to a program's logic having bugs (e.g. it could then try to access out of bounds or trap for another reason), but the accesses themselves can't crash anything. | null | null | 41,801,853 | 41,787,041 | null | null | null | null |

These are not two separate systems interacting by some magical means. This is one system with various subsystems that interact all the time.<p>Concrete mechanism of the placebo effect is still unknown, but the observation that your immune system can be influenced by your mental state isn't in itself magical. Our bodies respond to all sorts of mental states. We get red in face when embarassed, and sometimes must run to the toilet when scared etc.<p>All this "psionic" "paranormal" label stuff would only apply if someone could do it <i>to other people without them even knowing</i>. | null | null | 41,807,432 | 41,780,328 | null | null | null | null |

I like the locality of behavior principal a lot.<p>Again, I really like elixir, but untyped languages kind of suck for dealing with the string based world of web frontends. That's why so many javascript shops take on the complexity of typescript. | null | null | 41,784,625 | 41,781,457 | null | null | null | null |

When the doctor sees him, he exclaims "I cannot operate on this person, he is my own son!". How is this possible?</i><p>All LLMs I have tried this on, including GPT o1-preview, get this wrong, assuming that this the riddle relates to a gendered assumption about the doctor being a man, while it is in fact a woman. However, in this case, there is no paradox - it is made clear that the doctor is a man ("he exclaims"), meaning they must be the father of the person being brought in. The fact that the LLMs got this wrong suggests that it finds a similar reasoning pattern and then applies it. Even after additional prodding, a model continued making the mistake, arguing at one point that it could be a same-sex relationship.<p>Amusingly, when someone on HN mentioned this example in the O1 thread, many of the HN commentators also misunderstood the problem - perhaps humans also mostly reason using previous examples rather than thinking from scratch. | null | null | 41,809,200 | 41,808,683 | null | [

Having large shrubs or weed areas leads to pests and the spread of disease, while large trees become deadly during storms. In the AmericanSouth and MidWest, seasonal tornadoes make this latter threat far worse. Homeowners then become incentivized to clear their yards of both hazards. Kudzu and English Ivy kill the trees and make them more likely to come down. Once people clear a lawn, the only way to make it look good is by getting that rich green and uniform golf course like appearance brought to you by Bayer. | null | null | 41,807,628 | 41,780,229 | null | null | null | null |

When we use “accepted by a top journal” as a proxy for value, we are substituting social proof for actual value. | null | null | 41,809,148 | 41,776,631 | null | [

41,809,456 | comment | neonsunset | 2024-10-11T13:47:57 | null | OpenJDK and .NET compilers run circles around Go one. It's not even close. The second you go beyond "straight-line" code where function body has limited amount of locals and does not make much calls, the difference becomes absolutely massive. Go also does not do any sort of "advanced" devirtualization that is bread and butter of both to cope with codebase complexity and inevitable introduction of abstractions. Hell, .NET has surpassed Go in compilation of native binaries too. Here's a recent example: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41234851">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41234851</a><p>In terms of GC, Go has specialized design that makes tradeoffs to allow consistent latency and low memory usage. However, this comes with very low sustained allocation and garbage collection throughput, and Go the language itself does not make it necessarily obvious where allocations happen, so, as sibling discussions here and under Go iterators submission indicate, this results in the amount of effort to try to get rid of all allocations in a hot path that is unthinkable in C#, which makes it much more straightforward, and is also able to cope with high allocation throughput with ease, much like Java.<p>It is indeed true that Java makes different design choices when tuning its GC implementations, but you might see much closer to Go-like memory usage from .NET's back-end services now that DATAS is enabled by default, without the tradeoffs Go comes with. | null | null | 41,806,376 | 41,787,041 | null | null | null | null |

If you click a link on Instagram, which by default opens in Instagram's browser, and that link has "Sign in with Google", it simply will not work, because Google blocks "insecure browsers", which Instagram is one. There are even issues getting "Sign in with Facebook" to work, and Meta owns Instagram and Facebook!

41,809,465 | comment | 015a | 2024-10-11T13:48:57 | null | The way I look at it is: Software companies which lean-into rather than fight against an engineer-centric corporate architecture will be better-setup to be more productive and ship higher quality product than any other architecture. They won't always be, every company is different, but its the best starting place because at the end of the day your engineers are your bottleneck. The engineers implement asks from Product Managers, Owners, Designers, Leadership, Marketing, Sales, Customers, Vendors, other Engineers/Themselves, all of these sources of work flow downhill to engineering and need to be triaged and prioritized.<p>So, at least for the roles engineers work most closely with (PM/PO/Designer/etc), it is productive and good that these roles are framed in the perspective that they're a service & asset role for engineering; that when engineering needs designs, they go to a designer, that when engineers need an answer to some product behavior question, they go to the PM, who would reasonably be if not the source of truth at least the authority of that domain, etc. That's only subtly different, but definitely meaningfully, than what the GP poster was saying about running the sprint board and controlling what work gets taken on; PMs/POs shouldn't have that authority, that authority lies with the EM and their discussions with the priorities of leadership.<p>And, by the way: calling back to my previous comment, I've worked in roles where the EMs were less-technical more-product, call these companies "product led companies", and each team had almost a bi-archy of an Engineering Manager + Engineering Lead representing two sides of this coin. This works really well. If you want a product-biased company, hire product-minded managers, but give engineers a 10-20 year title track that doesn't involve management. If you want an engineering-biased company, promote or hire engineers; this can work for more hard-tech infrastructural companies. If you struggle to find great talent, hire dedicated PMs but have them report to your product or engineering-minded EMs. That's it. | null | null | 41,805,882 | 41,797,009 | null | null | null | null |

41,809,474 | comment | tdrnl | 2024-10-11T13:49:32 | null | Some additional context and detail about hospital chaplaincy in the US:<p>1) In a major metro area, it's very likely that not all of the chaplains on staff at a hospital are Christian. It's rare, but increasingly likely, that chaplains are not even religious.<p>2) Chaplains have a primary responsibility to and <i>the time and relationships with hospital staff</i> to advocate for the patient and their family in addition to their more stereotypical duties providing emotional, religious, or spiritual support.<p>3) Chaplains also provide various types of support and guidance for your family or other loved ones -- so having a relationship with the hospital's chaplains can be a huge help for your loved ones if you are incapacitated for advocacy to the medical team, for navigating logistics, and for providing someone dispassionate to listen.<p>Of course, YMMV based on your location. In the deep south or outside a major metro, the chances that a given chaplain is an evangelical Christian who might try to convert you are higher.<p>And even in a major metro, you might find a chaplain who doesn't really want to do their job.<p>But if you're in the hospital and having trouble navigating the bureaucracy or getting the attention of your medical team, asking to visit with a chaplain can be very productive toward those ends. | null | null | 41,804,278 | 41,786,768 | null | null | null | null |

Humans have more in common with one another than we have differences, but individuality is a major factor that forces psychologists to look at things statistically unless they are specifically trying to understand or control for individual variance.<p>I bring this up because my personal subjective opinion is that HCI on modern mobile phones is absolutely atrocious and I don't use a smart phone as much as most people as a result.<p>I think that when it comes interacting with a tool, what you are accustomed to makes a huge world of difference. I grew up with Desktop computers and laptops. With keyboards, in other words. As a coder and a *nix "power user", I like command line interfaces. I like being able to tweak and customize and configure things to my liking. When I have to use Macbooks at work, it has been soul crushing to me while for others they absolutely love the UI of MacOS.<p>I also remember the shift of the mobile revolution. A lot of us at the time were starting to get very annoyed by the creep of mobile design conventions making their way into non-mobile contexts. At the time it was understood that those mobile design decisions were "forced" as a result of the limitations of a mobile device, and it was clear that applying them to non-mobile contexts was a cost-cutting measure (mobile first, in other words).<p>Although well designed iconography can transcend language barriers and facilitate communication, I find that the limited resolution of a smart phone screen forcing designers to use glyphs instead of written text is very confusing to me. I mean, don't get me wrong, I would love to learn ancient Egyptian, but it is often far from intuitive or obvious what these hieroglyphs on the screen are meant to communicate to me. In other words, the iconography is not well designed IMO. At least not in a way that creates an intuitive experience FOR ME.<p>But a kid who grew up in a world of smart phones is going to be able to navigate them intuitively because they have years of learning what those esoteric glyphs on the touch screen are. They've had years of "typing" out text messages on a tiny touch screens.<p>On a good mechanical keyboard I can type upwards of 117wpm before I start making mistakes. When trying to text my wife one sentence I need to put aside an afternoon out of my day to get it written correctly. I could get started on how awful auto-correct is but everyone knows this to the point where it's become a cultural meme. Sorry, auto-correct turned "Can you grab me some milk while you're there?" into "fyi the police are here with a search warrant."<p>So yeah, big tangent off of "HCI on mobile phones is remarkably good." Maybe it is in a relative sense and is as good as it can get... I mean we've had years to iterate and make improvements. But I suspect that a lot of it has to do with people just learning and getting used to haphazard design decisions that just became the defacto for mobile because the tech industry (and business at large if we're being honest) loves to copy. | null | null | 41,808,273 | 41,780,328 | null | [

41,809,487 | comment | ristos | 2024-10-11T13:50:41 | null | Very nice!<p>I'm looking to use prescheme for low level code that needs more precise control where chibi scheme or guile isn't a good fit. I'm also hoping at some point that I have the time to write a borrow checker on top of prescheme, which might be a subset of prescheme but would still fit many use cases, so that it can be used instead of Rust. And also to create a transpilation step that creates optimizations, that would then ideally be proved. And then that way the borrow checked code with optimizations can be all transpiled by prescheme into C, and then tiny c compiler can compile it unoptimized into straightforward assembly. The goal would be to have verified code that can also be easily hand audited as well. LLMs just make all this stuff so much more possible because of how much faster we can iterate.

41,809,498 | comment | elashri | 2024-10-11T13:52:12 | null | I like this writeup as it summarizes my journey with optimizing some cuda code I wrote for an LHC experiment trigger. But there are few comments on some details.<p>There are 65536 registers per SM not thread block and while you can indirectly control that by making your block takes all the SM but this presents its own problems.<p>NVIDIA hardware limits the threads max number to 1024 (2048) and shared memory to 48 KB (64 KB) per SM. So if you consume all of that in one thread block or near the maximum then you are using one thread block per SM. You don't usually want to do that because it will lower your occupancy. Additionaly , If the kernel you’re running is not compute-bound and does not need all the registers or shared memory allocated to it, having fewer blocks on the SM could leave some compute resources idle. GPUs are designed to thrive on parallelism, and limiting the number of active blocks could cause underutilization of the SM’s cores, leading to poor performance. Finally, If each thread block occupies an entire SM, you limit the scalability of your kernel to the number of SMs on the GPU. For example, if your GPU has 60 SMs, and each block uses one SM, you can only run 60 blocks in parallel, even if the problem you’re solving could benefit from more parallelism. This can reduce the efficiency of the GPU for very large problem sizes. | null | null | 41,808,013 | 41,808,013 | null | [

41,809,499 | comment | neom | 2024-10-11T13:52:14 | null | AWS just really didn't want to, very different market segment. They were doing a pure enterprise play, looking to capture most of the enterprise. We were doing a b2c play that we presumed over time would suck us up into the SMB. My theory was we had like 1% risk from them. From what I could tell Jeff and Jassy had zero interest in our segment. I left just before the IPO but when we started it, the margin was about 60%, after we figured out how many VMs we could comfortable fit on the box, Ben U just did napkin math and said "50% seems like a fine enough margin to start" | null | null | 41,809,416 | 41,805,446 | null | null | null | null |
