I’ve seen him discuss additions to the static typing features.


Same as a bank? If you lie to investors and get yourself nuked, the owners or what passes for owners get wiped out, which is normal. The people who really qualify as victims are those who were harmed and didn't benefit from the fraud, which is everyone else.

Sure, some people would lose money but didn't intend to cause harm. Those are victims of the fraud. Their shares of the criminal company still get wiped out and they get in line to get bankruptcy proceedings.

Is there another way that makes sense?



Some people feel some kind of person/presence close to them, that's how it happened to me. This [1] weirdly makes sense.

It felt kind of like those dreams where you can't move. Except you've woken up, I could see the correct room and position I was in. It tends to come with fear and doesn't last long.

Never happened when I slept on my side or front. I almost never sleep on my back now. Also, chronic stress could have been a trigger.

A lot of suspicious facts in the article though.

> Letby’s defense team said that it had found at least two other incidents that seemed to meet the same criteria of suspiciousness as the twenty-four on the diagram. But they happened when Letby wasn’t on duty. Evans identified events that may have been left out, too. He told me that, after Letby’s first arrest, he was given another batch of medical records to review, and that he had notified the police of twenty-five more cases that he thought the police should investigate. He didn’t know if Letby was present for them, and they didn’t end up being on the diagram, either. If some of these twenty-seven cases had been represented, the row of X’s under Letby’s name might have been much less compelling. (The Cheshire police and the prosecution did not respond to a request for comment, citing the court order.)

Are you still sure after reading?


You mean aside from the notes she left found at her home saying she did it?


> The police spent the day searching her house. Inside, they found a note with the heading “NOT GOOD ENOUGH.” There were several phrases scrawled across the page at random angles and without punctuation: “There are no words”; “I can’t breathe”; “Slander Discrimination”; “I’ll never have children or marry I’ll never know what it’s like to have a family”; “WHY ME?”; “I haven’t done anything wrong”; “I killed them on purpose because I’m not good enough to care for them”; “I AM EVIL I DID THIS.”

> On another scrap of paper, she had written, three times, “Everything is manageable,” a phrase that a colleague had said to her. At the bottom of the page, she had written, “I just want life to be as it was. I want to be happy in the job that I loved with a team who I felt a part of. Really, I don’t belong anywhere. I’m a problem to those who do know me.” On another piece of paper, found in her handbag, she had written, “I can’t do this any more. I want someone to help me but they can’t.” She also wrote, “We tried our best and it wasn’t enough.”

Calling this an admission of guilt is ridiculous. The only one that doesn’t say she didn’t do it says it happened because she wasn’t good enough. Self-blame when everyone is calling you a murdered is completely expected; the article says later that she had PTSD.

Is that the evidence she’s getting slammed based on?


Does this make MRIs safe for some people who wouldn’t qualify due to metal implants? Or at least reduce the risk of accidents?


Probably yes. But most medical implants today are MRI-scannable anyway. Even patients with pacemakers can be scanned today with proper preparation.


Safe to use, but it's not going to be able to see anything, as it's AI hallucination.


It's funny that restaurant burger prices in my EU country are basically the same as in your "upscale American city". I thought everything there was more expensive since the higher percentiles of your salaries are so much higher.


North America has a unified agriculture market amongst Mexico, US, and Canada - drastically simplifying logistics.

The EU has a similar setup, but 26 countries still adds some overhead versus 3 countries with some form of a "Commerce Clause". It makes sense though - a Polish farmer probably can't compete with a Dutch farmer at scale due to less capital to invest in relatively expensive automation or larger operations.

At least you aren't paying East Asian prices for a lot of produce.


Didn't Microsoft stop using those in BitLocker years ago because they were often borked? [1] It's a new failure point, but it's sensible.

Thanks, that's good info. :)


Good design dictates that you start one loop and build the whole program around it, no? The docs for asyncio.run say as much.


Yes, that is good design and the event loop should basically be shared process-wide (asyncio objects are usually not thread safe and cannot be shared across event loops). Temporal only does custom event loops in isolated workflows.


I hope this means AI-accelerated frameworks get better support on Mx. Unified memory and Metal are a pretty good alternative for local deep learning development.
