Most healthcare systems are not using Azure, AWS, or GCP

This may be true for some large players in coastal states but definitely not true in general Your typical non-coastal state run health system does not have model access outside of …

Healthcare organizations that can't (easily) send data over the wire while remaining in compliance Organizations operating in high stakes environments Organizations with restrictiv…

SnipVex clipjacking wallets is almost beside the point, the real failure is a printer vendor treating software like a side gig. Printer and hardware companies get a pass on basic i…

Real question is whether this is just symbolic or if the French state will actually redirect procurement pipelines + vendor mandates around these principles. i'd be more impressed …

I'm not a fan of neurophysiology analogies because it veer into pseudoscience, but I'll play along. Roam implemented static bidirectional links and called it associative memory. in…

this all makes sense and is honestly the most coherent humanoid startup thesis i've seen outside of figure.ai. You're right that the unit economics of hardware are a trap unless yo…

When my grandfather died, the only thing he asked to be buried with was a small pouch of roasted chestnuts. he used to say they reminded him of long cold walks home through wartime…

Thanks for the reply IME the COTS angle cuts both ways. It brings costs down and makes iteration faster, but whats the moat then? if the value is in integration, that’s fine, but i…

This is a clever hack and a cute abuse of SQL joins to brute-force what’s essentially a 2-ply MDP over a finite space. The core idea btw of using precomputed transition/score table…

Not surprised to see this. Whats interesting to me in all this is the misplaced faith in emergent structure. Roam bet on the idea that if you link enough atomic notes, structure wi…

Heh. This landing page takes me to somewhere between deepmind circa 2014 and tesla's AI Day press decks. I mean if you're actually training humanoids in under an hour with sim-to-r…

Clearly a labor of love. Props to you I suppose if one is teaching or evangelizing constructor theory, this could be sort of like an interactive textbook Needless to say, construct…

Right: Maya is a "language continuum" in the sense that geographically proximate speakers tend to understand each other well, and intelligibility goes down as you move further away…

I use nearly of these tools with the exception of Perl. I go to great lengths to make sure I have access to them because it's so critical for quality of life. I love them and I und…

It's not learned helplessness et al, just a plea to drop the smug elitism if you want people to take you seriously. I actually want nice things, I hate writing brittle systems in l…

You are missing my point. For transparency, you are talking to someone who writes Racket in emacs on my Linux desktop, has used Rust macros to clean up awful code in widely used op…

I agree with you that it is sad there isn't more diversity in languages and tools, and that generally organizations are using the same terrible slop. We could have such nice things…

I'll be frank: I think this idea that ${faveLang} is for misunderstood geniuses who truly understand computers where mainstream languages like Python are for dunces who only know h…

This is awesome! Finding an AGN within the halo of a galaxy, especially one as well-studied as the sombrero galaxy, is a bit like discovering a hidden room in a house you've lived …

I first learned about the microseasons during my second year in Japan when I was wandering thru Tokyo one day in February, and had an experience that introduced me to the bush warb…

A few scattered thoughts: Firstly, the amalgamation of custom data sources via RAG pipelines sounds enticing on paper, but there are inherent complications. when fusing disparate d…

The real challenge with AutoML isn't just the pipeline creation, but ensuring that the models generalize well to unseen data and real-world scenarios. Your project here is neat and…

back when we were scaling a saas offering in the late 2000s, we were told by some sales 'engineer' at a certain company well known in those days with lots of hype marketing (that d…

A mentor once said to me something to the effect of "don't optimize for the noise - optimize for signal" These guidelines, in many ways, embody that sentiment. While some might com…
