A few chapters in, this is a great how-to book: A System for Writing (Bob Doto)

https://writing.bobdoto.computer/zettelkasten/

I love it as a reader when travelling, and books too long to print. I do take notes when i bring it to conferences, but most of all just to keep engaged, though to keep all notes at one place is practical.

Though when at home/office nothing beats paper and the possibility to visually have multiple pages side by side. Any research article I want to work through I print out, and I buy more paper books now than before I bought the remarkable. Paradoxically, the remarkable helped me realize the incredible value of paper.

:) Thanks! Been looking into learning rust recently, so will keep that in mind if I get it off the ground.

Really cool. Would this run on the remarkable paper pro too?

Versioned datasets for machine learning.

For the point of arguing with strangers, yes, I agree that neither PubMed nor any other entities will provide you with what you need. I don't think that it is possible to acquire an understanding of an issue without some domain knowledge, at least on how to get the data.

But to gain a deeper understanding of the flaws of any country's health (or any) system, there is no way around that except by comparing it with data from other countries. And that might be hard, which is why professionals spend a lot of time on it.

If your're most interested in blog posts google translate is great for exotic languages.

But for the data they're all there in English [0].

And if you're after methodology, analysis or understanding medical data, they follow WHO standards and publications are all in English on pubmed.gov [1] for the explicit purpose of international collaboration (which is the norm in medicine and public health for most developed nations).

And google translate can help with exotic languages, here's an in depth on methodology:

Most statistical data in Norway is also available in English: https://www.ssb.no/en

I like it a lot, as I mentioned intellectually rewarding and I feel like most of what I learned at med school is useful. I also quite enjoy the occasional increase in adrenaline when at trauma reception or stroke CT evaluation. Also nice to both be able to work in peace and collaborate with clinicians. And personally I also enjoy keeping up to date on research which is evolving quite rapidly. The negative aspect is mostly what is common to most medical specialities and due to understaffing.

I trained as a doctor, then family practice for a few years, but since the middle of my studies, I realised my main passion was the more technical aspects. I did a bachelor's in electronics engineering while working 50% as a doctor the first two years, and with the last year dedicated only to studying. I realised a bachelor's would not be enough to get the engineering jobs I desired, so I went back to medicine and started training as a radiologist. There they agreed to fund me doing PhD research 50% of my time, and I am now doing a PhD using AI diagnosing dementia from MRI scans--basically my dream job, while working 50% as a radiologist which also is fun and intellectually very rewarding.

If you add keras to the mix it seems to be the most popular of all https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=...

One of the biggest scandals in Norwegian health care at the moment is a botched transition to Epic in one of the biggest university hospitals. Doctor dissatisfaction has gone to the roof at the point where 50% of the doctors are considering quitting.

For my part time bachelor's in electronics we made an autonomous drone that could fly a preplanned pattern and recognize people through machine learning. Software: Ardupilot and ROS. Hardware:home made 3d printed drone,PX4, Nvidia Jetson, some Intel camera). Very fun and absolutely something you could tinker with as an hobbyist (it was basically a thesis on a hobbyist project).

We first tried with a raspberry pi based autopilot, it crashed and we rebuilt it again and again until we realized the GPS was broken.

Example code from the project for inspiration: https://github.com/bachelor-2020

It's just a heads up that it will not be on their timeline to fix. My empathy would be with the developers and maintainers of this amazing project (and all open source maintainers in a similar situation).

I'm in about the same situation as OP. We have a small cluster of Power9 and it's been unmaintained and unused for a while so I will set it up from scratch. Been looking into solutions that would be a good fit, for the moment we are just a few students/postdoc, so manual scheduling is feasible, but eventually we would like to make it available to other students at the institution.

My candidates are also - slurm + ray/lightning/etc. - determined.ai (maybe together with slurm)

Some advertise a kubernetes setup with kubeflow but I would imagine that is a bit too complex for a small cluster.

Anyone else with experience in this? Any other suggestions?

To make the environments as reproducible as possible it would be great to also have a setup based on docker containers and maybe nix, but not sure if it is feasible on ppc64. Guix and Spack have also come up in my searches.

edit: typo

There's no upgrade path. But if you wait until the early access of X-plane 12 you will get v11 free while it is in pre-release. It seems early access is just around the corner, I've seen late July mentioned.

Didn't know that, thanks!

Use emacsclient and have a emacs server running at all times. Super fast startup times, you can even use emacsclient -nw (or make an alias 'e' for that) in the terminal for fast edits with instantaneous startup.

You could also make a script that starts emacs as a client only if a server already is running

  #!/bin/sh
  if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]
  then
    echo "Starting new Emacs process ..." >&2
    nohup emacs > /dev/null 2>&1 &
  elif emacsclient -n "$@" 2> /dev/null
  then
    echo "Opened $@ in Emacs server" >&2
  else
    echo "Opening $@ in a new Emacs process ..." >&2
    nohup emacs "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1 &
  fi

Did you try this https://www.zotero.org/support/ios_beta? Works great for me.

Would love some sources on that, because that would be a big issue. Russians regularly fly in international airspace along the Norwegian coast and are intercepted there by Norwegian fighters, but I have never heard about them actually violating Norwegian airspace. This is the closest I know of:

In Norway at least, where we have high compliance and relatively few corona deaths, one important point is to keep public trust in the authorities. The worst case scenario would be loss of trust in the vaccine and loss of trust in the health authorities. Then people would not get vaccinated even if the authorities were recommending it.

Also the symptoms are bizarre, the deaths and hospitalizations from blod clot have all been young health care workers in good health with onset of symptoms a few days after getting their first shot. They have all had low platelet count which is very unusual with blood clots and complicates treatment immensely because the standard thrombolytic treatment is then not safe to use.

Maybe they tried Skype first, which works horrible (tried twice, never managed connect all the participants at the same time), and finally relief over something that actually works. I have used Zoom successfully with 70 participants, and then breakout groups. The only alternative I can see that recently came to my attention is Jitsi Meet (https://jitsi.org/), which I will try next time I have the opportunity. But seems like it has at least one of the same weaknesses as zoom, with no end to end encryption (https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/7syt0s/jitsi_meet_...)

Highly recommend not giving up on getting off it. My grandmother thought she needed it to sleep for many years. But finally, after pressure from the family (several who are health care professionals), the doctor took her off it. She became so much better, even her sleep improved! Having worked as a health care professional myself, the rule was maximum 3 weeks, only for temporary treatment, long term need to find other solutions. Always some exceptions but then everything else had (or should have) been tried.

On my low-end mac (Macbook) Chrome is still noticeable faster than Firefox. I ran Firefox the last year, but then I tried the new Opera and it was so much faster. Trying out others I realized it's the blink engine. So now I am using Vivaldi...

This is much less apparent on faster machines or on Linux/Windows though, but for me it is more efficient to use the same browser on all my machines.

Makes me want to try Racket out!

Thought of another book I used in the beginning, Make: Electronics. Very suited for beginners, experiment first and then they give the theory afterwards. (https://www.makershed.com/products/make-electronics-2ed, many other good resources here)

This course https://www.edx.org/course/circuits-electronics-1-basic-circ... is excellent.

I took it for fun a few years ago, enjoyed it so much that I later enrolled in an EE program (while already having another degree) and I am soon to graduate :)

Nice! Like the map with colors. For Schengen it is not accurate though, e.g. from Iceland and Norway all of EU is visa free.

It all depends on your definition of judgment. Of course we all judge, that's how we choose to be with the people who do us good and are pleasant to associate with, and avoid others who are not. (And basically navigate life in a way that is safe and healthy). But it is not a value judgment, just about making good decisions.

But putting people in a hierarchy where some people are better or worse than others (in particular in respect to one self) is IMO rooted in insecurity, it makes us feel good to put ourself in the same box as people we admire and above those we loathe.

Personally I love being with people who are not judgmental (by putting value on people, and yes they exist). And funny thing is that it is contagious, I feel much less like being judgmental when being around those people. The opposite is also true, the easiest people to judge are those who just judged someone, in particular if they judged me.
