Yes, they get visually more sphere-like as more faces are added. But spheres are obviously/trivially non-Rupert, while the question of whether a convex polyhedron can be non-Rupert is more interesting.
Re: Sendgrid killing their free tier - I used them for the contact form on my personal website, and after they ended the free tier I was able to move to Resend (who has a similar free tier) without too much work. Pretty happy with it so far.
What does that look like in a more intensive hospital setting? I've seen the shift to midlevels happening in primary care, but I'm not sure how that translates to inpatient settings - I'm vaguely aware that there are rules around when a PA/NP must consult an MD before making a decision, and I feel like they would encounter those situations way more for an inpatient.
Many states now have unsupervised, independent practice for PAs and NPs from the first day they are issued a license. There is variation by state, however, and some still require physician oversight. The amount and quality of that oversight also varies considerably.
This is ignoring the utilization factor though. Both Google and OpenAI have to overprovision servers for the worst case simultaneous users. So 1.71 GW average doesn't tell use the maximum instantaneous GW capacity of Google -- if we pull a 4x out of the hat (i.e. peak usage is 4x above average), it becomes ~7 GW of available compute.
More than a "Google" of new compute is of course still a lot, but it's not many Googles' worth.
I'll leave it to you and others who read this to evaluate the columnist's argument in the linked article vs. the UN commissioner's argument published last week in the same publication. https://archive.ph/FP2ek
The UN commissioner ignores all the obvious arguments against his case.
For instance, he ignores that Israel goes out of its way to warn civilians before attacking, and provides aid to civilians. He ignores that Israel could simply kill ALL the civilians with a bunch of bombs if its intent was actually genocide, and yet it has not.
This is not a serious debate. Israel is not genociding. If you disagree, you need to respond to the actual arguments. But nobody on the other side is doing so, because they can't, because Israel is not genociding.
Please wake up. When the dust settles and people start clearing all those buildings you destroyed you will see that 60,000 casualty number grow by multiples. How will you feel then about what Israel has done?
Casualties are a sad fact of war. But it's not genocide because Israel's doing everything it can to save the civilians while combatting Hamas. If genocide was defined by the number of deaths, would you say that the US was genocidal against germany during WW2? We killed 3 million civilians to defeat the Nazis.
I think it’s quite obvious to everyone in the world that Zionists are the ones in a bubble. I would wish you luck, but how can anyone wish a genocide apologist luck?
See mort96's comments about 7-bit ASCII and parity bits (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45225911). Kind of archaic now, though - 8-bit bytes with the error checking living elsewhere in the stack seems to be preferred.
More so than tables per unit time, it's dollars per unit time. When I was a server, the usual metric of how well you performed on a given shift was the total of your bills ("how much you sold"). The best servers were good at encouraging parties to spend on the things they were on the fence about: the appetizer, the second drink, the dessert. Even with the volatility of individual tipping decisions, getting your tables to order more increases the EV of your total tips.
I haven't thought of that, makes sense. That likely applies more to higher-end non-chain places and tourist spots with lots of first time visitors. Regular customers will often know what they want.
> I helped to recover my nearby hospital as a volunteer when it was ransomwared.
I'm curious about how you got in the door here. Very cool, but isn't healthcare IT notoriously cagey about access? I've had to do PHI training and background checks before getting into the system at my (admittedly only 2) PHI-centered jobs.
Granted, if it was such an emergency, I could see them rushing you through a lite version of the HR onboarding process. Did you have a connection in the hospital through whom you offered your services?
The nature and place of my work helped to quickly clear this.
I volunteered to help because I knew that even broadly planning the recovery, evidence preservation etc. would be completely beyond the capabilities of the two IT folks (they were extremely nice and helpful, and glad that there was someone to help).
I was there to draw things on the board and ask the questions that will help to recover. I would not have (nor want, not have the need) to access patient information. This is something I warned them about early in the process, as the chaos was growing.
You need to imagine a large hospital completely blocked, with patients during an operation being stabilized and driven away.
I am used to crisis situations and having someone who will anticipate things you do not think about (how to communicate, how to reach prople having planned procedures, who does what and who talks with whom) is a useful person to have before the authorities kick in.
My wife had a planned operation that morning and I was on site when the ransomware hit, it is just this. Nothing James Bond like, just sheer luck to have been around.
The hospital made a recovery but it took about a year IIRC
That's really cool. I was mostly envisioning hands-on admin stuff (because that's the work I'm most familiar with), but I hadn't thought about how much of a boon it would be to have someone with incident management experience arriving to help out. If you ever do a write-up about your experience, I'd love to read it.
In that case, doing just incident response would not have been enough to be frank. They needed guidance on what to do and what not to do, technically speaking, so that on the one hand, they have hope to start things up, but also to preserve evidence.
Even the sequencing (recover and secure the network, then the AD, then some Tier-2 apps etc.) was something they were not ready for. I cannot blame them - the way these things are managed is really messy, with no clear responsibilities beyond the everyday operations.
My hope is that the continuous attacks on the national infrastructure (such as hospitals) will build a more coordinated and homogenous approach. This would be a great lesson learned.
"Artslop"? Care to elaborate on your usage here? I'm curious if your problem here is with the incursion of art into your preferred dinoslop, or if artslop is your catch-all for works that aren't in the high-concept genre film realm.
Just trying to keep my finger on the pulse of a neoword as it spends more time outside of containment.
If I were to infer the meaning from GP's comment, I'd characterize 'artslop' as "works created with some particular artistic intent, in which the literal elements are neglected in favor of their metaphorical connections, especially when these connections are more relatable to artists than a general audience". The connotation being that it's slop intended for other artists and critics, who will think "how meaningful and relatable!" and love it in spite of the poor execution of the literal elements.
Looks like I'm about to start learning which of my time-killing websites are hosted on GCP - The Ringer is down, and since Spotify owns them and is a major GCP customer, it looks like they've been hit by this. CRAZY that the GCP status page is still green.
