I've heard from people with M1 laptops that they perform surprisingly better than Intel laptops with less RAM (on the Mac). I imagine the same will hold with the Pro and Max, although it will depend a lot on what type of work you're doing.

My mom has implanted electrodes for pain relief, so this technique isn’t new, although it sounds like it might be much more targeted here (and implanted in the brain rather than the pain site)

But Tesla likes to bring production in-house, whereas Apple outsources everything possible. It would not surprise me in the slightest if Tesla is looking to build a fab at some point in the future

In many states that is illegal

This should have [2016] on it

Part of the reason I submitted it was because I was skeptical, and I thought HN would have interesting takes on how effective it might be.

At the same time, I think your non-constructive cynicism is the worst of HN, did your comment really add anything to the discussion.

Big Ass Fans is a pretty reputable company, so assuming out the gate that it has to be a scam doesn’t seem like a great approach

I was the one who submitted this to HN.

It is an ad in that I linked to the marketing site. It’s not an ad in that I have no association with the company, and I just thought HN would find it interesting.

We’ve actually had a similar issue in the US with some Electronic Initial Case Report documents (to be clear, we mostly rely on Electronic Lab Results-ELR rather than eICR in the US to count COVID numbers, so this hasn’t resulted in an under-count)

Rather than be a problem with the database having arbitrary file size limits, it actually was a problem with file size limits within network intermediaries. In most cases, the issue is less the limit, and more that the files themselves were too large because of how they were created. I don’t think this is the same issue as the UK (I don’t think they are using the eICR standard there yet), but it’s an example of how you could have a problem with file size limitations without storing data in Excel.

How are there no passenger videos?

Valid point. My defensiveness was less directed towards OP's specific scenario but rather to the blanket statement that EHRs are broken in this way, when there are specific and high-quality tools designed specifically for data analysis. A lot of people, including myself, tend to put a lot of faith in HN comments about industries that we are not personally familiar with, and someone reading OP's comment would likely get the wrong impression about the state of the medical records industry.

There are certainly a million reasons why a doctor may not have access to or be able to use tools like Slicer Dicer, but most of those come down mainly to hospital policy. Amount and quality of training is certainly the biggest differentiation between clinician who are satisfied with Epic and those that hate it.

I work at Epic, so the resources I have are all internal training/document. That being said, the best way to learn it is probably to have someone who’s an expert in it, ideally another doctor, walk them through it. If you want, I can see if I can find some specific customer-facing documents/training to link them to.

A lot of Epic, at least on the technical side, is still accessible via the command line. I wonder if patient charts can be.

Epic just unveiled a new user interface for nurses trying to address this exact issue. The problem, and another commenter pointed out, becomes everybody has a different idea of what they need quickest access to, and many hospitals want to customize to fit their existing workflows, even when that’s not ideal for speed of use.

That’s just completely untrue. First of all, Epic has a built in tool called Slicer Dicer for clinicians to perform pretty complex population data analysis without having to do any database queries. Second, every healthcare organization extracts much of their patient data to a data warehouse where you can perform direct SQL calls on it.

That’s not true at all for medical data. There are very strict data sharing agreement requirements in HIPPA, and there will likely be millions of dollars worth of fines for both parties, and it’s not inconceivable that someone could go to jail. HIPPA violations are taken really seriously.

I recall reading a few years ago about an (Australian?) study That found that the non-bone health benefits correlated with Vitamin D were equally correlated with sun exposure. I’d be interested to know if any more research has been done on this.

Most people are willing to pay bribes, so this is not an issue for them

Snapchat is doing great and making money. They're still worth over 33 Billion.

Except that they are keeping all of them employed.

I think one point people are missing:

Apple stores, even if they exist mainly to promote the brand, are MASSIVELY profitable. In fact, they are one of the most profitable store chains in the world. By contract, I believe that Microsoft was always running most of their stores at a loss. Even for a massive company like Microsoft, continuously running an unprofitable division is hard to maintain.

Prior to LaGuardia, sure, but they lost a lot of power in the Fusion days before they were gone

As someone who is in MA and has a fair amount of experience with psychedelics, I don't think they are likely to trigger a relapse of other drugs. I won't say that there is never a risk of addiction to LSD or Mushrooms (I met someone yesterday who used psychedelics every week for two years), but for the vast majority of people it's an intense experience that they don't want to experience often.

Wait, you accidentally experienced ego death while meditating as a kid!? That's fascinating

If you're willing to share, I would love to hear more. How did you get so deeply into meditation? What was your practice like? What were you doing that got you to such a "bad trip"

If you look at what they actually own, they're just normal malls. It looks like the buzzwords are just that-buzzwords

Have you read https://waitbutwhy.com/2019/08/story-of-us.html ?

VRDs sound great in theory, but the more you learn about them the more you realize that they aren't the right solution for the problem. Compared to other AR optics approaches, they're vastly more expensive, more dangerous, and have more limitations to overcome. For example, a VRD will only display if your eyes are looking in one direction (see the North glasses), so a VRD-based headset would need eye tracking (and vastly more complex optics to move the image around) for basis use.

Diffractive optics can achieve much better effects at a fraction of the cost and without any risk.

In the case of the big Nascar race today, the winner (Hamlin) is a professional IRL racer who was discovered in the eSports world

That quote is mindblowing. I don't think I've ever heard an argument for free will on a sub-atomic level. It never crossed my mind that that was a position someone could conceivably hold. But it's weirdly comforting- it almost feels religious- and I'm now thinking about how that would affect emergence.

Same here, unless the same exact pattern is happening across a bunch of companies. Deep Space?

isn't that more bundling, not unbundling? Instead of having to budget extra for fuel and car maintenance, it's "included" in the cost.
