I found some documentation. This is supposed to be an enumeration of all the data that the _application_ collects from the phone. It's surprising to see that the app is collecting health data, presumably the phone prompts a person to g

The Register has a story about Threads and the permissions it asks for, "Health and Fitness" is indeed on the list. Honestly, it looks like it simply asks for every conceivable permission (what is "Sensitive Info" or &qu

Regardless of your or my opinion, the Vice President of Core Platforms Engineering at Red Hat seems to think that this is a fantastic idea. They read the negative coverage and thought the best move was to educate people on _why_ they are so

I suspect Oracle Linux is the bigger "threat". Oracle uses this distribution all over, perhaps RedHat thinks those are licenses they deserve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Linux

Back in the day I had a Windows NT 3.51 machine sitting on my desk, right next to a HP 9000 workstation (PA-RISC) running HP-UX; I do not remember the NT machine being this responsive. It wasn't terrible but I did most of my work on th

I believe NASA does use RHEL, I remember a story last year where they were moving some systems from SUSE to RHEL. My guess is that IBM was so difficult to deal with that they decided to move away from RHEL wherever they could. Perhaps getti

Salaries for educators isn't great, there were strikes right up until the pandemic started. Pay hasn't increased since then; whatever the money is being spent on it's not teachers. My first thought was maybe "mohr teache

David Pogue just referred to these kinds of submersibles as "janky" on NPR. He also wasn't impressed with the controller. "All of these submersibles have been kind of janky," Pogue said. https://www.npr.o

This entire article is weak on the work-from-office advantages. While they claim that some companies have "run the numbers," unfortunately no factual data from this number running has made it into the article.

In the train example, the UI is in place to prevent a person from making a dangerous route. I think the idea here is that an LLM cannot take the place of such a UI as they are inherently unreliable.

I suspect the set of power users that insisted on using Apollo overlaps quite a bit with the moderator population.

IMHO, Reddit's charging such a high price for API access that it's as good as unattainable is more of a last straw then anything else. Reddit has been clear that they view the data as their sole property, when you think it through

This is something these companies, who are so eager to have people in the office, could easily change. With space so inexpensive and after the many layoffs, why not add more private offices for those who do come in?

Agreed, it was always about reducing cost.

Maybe it varies by field. For myself, onboarding new developers has felt about the same as it did in person. I can't just stop by their desk but banging a message into chat and then starting a call if their response seems to far off tr

My recollection is that Sony's Memory Stick based products of this era all had weird DRM requirements that were a big hassle.

Redox has already priced themselves so high, it's unclear what value they are providing. A big reason to go with Redox is that you don't have to setup a VPN with the target hospital, have staff monitoring the VPN to ensure it&#x27

It's more than just the job description, I believe many EHR vendors require people who use particular modules to be "certified" for that module. Obviously this leads to a silo effect where the information is available but one

Agreed. While FHIR is clearly more modern, in my experience it's the same data I'm seeing provided over HL7v2. It's easier to parse JSON and it's nice having the data labeled but values are still inconsistent.

Typically these messages are not encrypted. This is a late 80's spec based on a 70's era EDI spec. IMHO, when these messages are transmitted outside the hospital typically a VPN used. There is a spec for posting these messages to
