I think it's completely fair game. This is the singular document that gets put in front of employers. Ostensibly the person has put a lot of effort into it, and they haven't even run it through spell check? What are they going to do for our company once they get comfortable?

It's a buyer's market - he should spend the hour with an LLM iterating on his resume.


I also ran into the eBay application being blocked just recently. Other than that I've had no issues, but I imagine this is going to become more and more common as time goes on.


Most likely, unless the GrapheneOS user base can be grown quickly. We are at a point in time where the number of apps that block GrapheneOS through Play Integrity Strong is fairly small. So it's still possible to grow the user base since the inconvenience is not too large. Once the majority of banks would require passing Play Integrity Strong, far fewer people would switch.

So, best to grow the user base fast now and let every user send a complaint for every app that gets blocked. A few million users will be harder to ignore.


Motorola partnering is huge and should help this if it comes to fruition. They sell a -ton- of phones in the Americas. Best not to get on their bad side.


PayPal's app still works with the per-app secure spawning toggle disabling for it.


eBay has been enforcing Play Integrity for over a year now. Luckily you don't lose much by using it in a browser.

I also get why they'd be desperate to fight bots. It's a weak excuse for not doing it better, but at least it makes some sense.


This has also been my experience. I like that it's a small community but their toxicity is much more towards AI or anything to the right of RMS.


> I agree. Expecting perfection from humans, even experts, is not reasonable and is frankly counterproductive.

There's a big difference between perfection and "Statistical Literacy Among Doctors Now Lower Than Chance"[1]. I don't think their intentions are bad, but they are woefully incompetent at many basic things.

As it happens, the daily practice of medicine does not require interpretation of p-values. Indeed, medicine existed before the p-value.

The people who create studies that ultimately guide policy decisions are specialized (much like people who write GPU drivers are different from those who run inference)

What are you talking about? Doctors refer people based on test results every single day. From what I've seen, hardly any of them understand the precision/recall of the tests that they then use to refer you (or not) to screening procedures (which are not all harmless).


> What are you talking about?

What are you talking about? How is a single lab value going to generate a p-value? Why are you presuming that your family med doc should be calculating an ROC for each of her 1,500 patients?

The selection of lab critical values is performed by experts in clinical pathology. Exactly the people who were not included in the paper you cited.

You can find links to support any argument you want on the internet.

To place this in clearer HN terms, you're saying that a front end dev is trash because he didn't write his own web browser in assembly.


To be fair, being knowledgeable about the pre-test probability of a patient having a certain disease vs the sensitivity/specificity of a test IS part of the ideal practice of medicine, although how important it is in practice varies somewhat between specialities. In rheumatology for instance, it is front and center to how you make diagnoses. I was in primary care for a short while myself, and on more than one occasion regretted deeply ordering certain rheumatological screening panels (which you get without asking for it when looking for certain antibodies).

Explaining to a parent the fact that their child did in fact not have a rare, deadly and incurable multi-system disorder even though an antibody which is 98% specific for it showed up on the antibody assay, that we took for an entirely different reason, is the kind of thing thats hard to explain without understanding it yourself.


Bayesian thinking isn’t about p-values and doesn’t need to be presented that way.

If you use the centor criteria before resting for strep, is that worse than getting out a piece of paper and researching background population prevalence?

The OP is being dogmatic about doctors needing to know things he does which is obviously silly.

Edit - but yes, I agree that we should think about sensitivity and specificity, I just don’t think you need to be a statistician, just to have a helpful script and resources for patients who wish to know more.


Or at least give us the discord feature of "Mute channel for ..." with some fixed set of durations.


I've made heavy use of emdashes my whole life. It feels like I have to eliminate them now :(


Fight it — otherwise the terrorists win.


Don't let people's prejudice dictate your actions. If you like them, use them!


Surround them with spaces. LLMs don't do that.


N—never!


Are you worried about being sherlocked at all? I know "multiplayer" is on their official roadmap.


yeah, definitely.

It might not be the most strategic move, but i want to build cool and useful tools, and the Obsidian folks are a big inspiration.

I hope there's a way to collaborate and/or coexist.


I think it's a matter of time until we see a notable plugin in the obsidian space get caught exfiltrating data. I imagine then, after significant reputational harm, the team will start introducing safe guards. At a minimum, create some sort of verified publisher system.


It's *significantly* worse than vscode. vscode is at least attempting to grapple the problem: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/configure/extensions/exte....


Will the secure backups also be incremental? I've gotten to the point where the backup takes quite a while to generate.


Isn't it what they mean with "we'll be improving it to also be [...] incremental"?
