DaisyUI and HyperUI, which are both full component libraries based on tailwind, play well with lit. You either opt out of using the shadow dom or import the global styles into the component. Both methods have official lit support.
I second this as a quality series.
My kids also love the Ordinary People Change the World books by Brad Meltzer. Written at the right level for early readers, inspiring, and beautiful illustrations. We’ve had some great dinner discussions from things they’ve learned from these books.
Congrats on the launch! This is such an interesting project, as it could bridge the gap between analysis in the business world and engineering. Our organization has been making use of Streamlit extensively, but small changes require involvement of someone on the software side. This potentially makes a possible for anyone to do fairly complicated analyses and produced meaningful dashboards once groundwork has been laid.
Honestly, I’d love to start trialing this as our dashboard creation to the platform today.
On the downside, after setting up an account and creating a couple notebooks, my experience has been unusable slow. While this is likely growing pains as there’s no cost as a user for compute resources, it’s also a nonstarter for us to actually use as an organization. What’s the roadmap to make this more usable?
Lastly, adopting a new platform like this without a data export or local deployment option gives me pause. What can I expect for the longevity of what we create - pieces that become central to business decisions? This is especially true considering how much upfront training will inevitably go into getting started.
What’s always amazed me about the kimchi making process, and other fermented products, I suppose, is the vast variation in ingredients that can go into the same dish and still produce the same fermentation process across geographic regions without the introduction of any specific yeast or bacteria strains. You can basically wash and salt napa cabbage, put it on the shelf, and a day later it’s bubbling with edible bacteria. That being said, different batches of kimchi from different people have vastly different flavors as well.
There’s a local brand near Seattle called Yummy Kimchi that makes amazing kimchi which we consumed in large quantities. Now that I’m not in the area, it’s been hard to find kimchi that is as good. The product is highly amenable to shipping but because of the variations in taste without a standard way to describe them, I’d be forced to try many batches from different places which is frustrating, time consuming, and wasteful. Anyone have luck discovering a shipped kimchi they love?
This is an example of an unethical interface. One week of programmer time would have easily saved multiple weeks of designer time...
When developing things which have a human interacting with it, you should consider how much you value your life time, and have empathy for your users' life time.
Well articulated. Outside of software and technology, people have to use software tools that they have little control over - tools assigned for their job. When authors take the time to understand how their tools are used, it can have a profound impact on the daily work for a huge number of people.
For example, I interact my electronic medical records system between 2-5+ hours each day. To write a document requires 15 mouse clicks, with a 1+ second load time after each click. It's painful. I would use the author's words to describe this as an unethical interface. If the devs who wrote this software had to use it for their daily work, I imagine that they would demand new tools or leave in frustration. But for us, as users without a choice, it contributes to dissatisfaction at work and ultimately to burn-out.
UpToDate is the probably the most used clinical resource by doctors in the US. I was surprised to learn that it's available for individuals to subscribe to.
Every hospital makes UpToDate available to its clinicians, because it's so universal. The depth and quality of content is many steps above what someone can find through a web search, and nearly all the clinical content is authored by physicians. It's also what most primary care doctors are looking at when they do more research on something they don't know the answer to in the office. You can find the current standards of care to expect for a specific condition or disease here, with the exception being if you are being treated at an academic hospital providing treatments closer to the leading edge.
I’m a pediatrician. I studied electrical engineering and did software for about 6 years before the career change. I still enjoy programming. It’s a different experience that’s more focused on growing your trade inwardly, while my job now is interacting with people all day! There is so much low hanging fruit in medicine that technology can / should have already solved. I would love to see medicine delivered more efficiently and for doctors to have freedom to focus on patients and doing medicine, rather than wrestling with our digital tools.
I’ve mostly lurked on HN, but I know there are a number of others with the same passion here. I’d love to get to know you!
My elementary aged child has a Kindle locked in FreeTime mode. He checks out Kindle books from our local library from my phone once a week. There's no clunky E-reader based browsing for books, a near infinite supply of well curated books by librarians, no subscription, and it involves all steps he can do by himself. I highly recommend this setup for anyone thinking of a device like this!
Apart from ML, this could be very useful for creating dashboards in the healthcare setting. Dashboards are surprisingly had to make, deploy, and maintain in the hospital. I've created many one-off webapps for different research groups and have been dreaming of a tool that consolidates all the front end work allowing me to concentrate how to process the data. Streamlit looks incredible for this!
This is incredible. It seems to perform well on faces with dysmorphic features including cleft lips, asymmetric eyes, and abnormal locations of facial landmarks. It even creates an appropriate 3D representation of a cleft. I've found that some other face detection implementations actually fail at even localizing faces with these abnormalities. I don't have the background to fully understand the paper, though. Is there anything truly novel in how they are detecting faces? Could their work be leveraged to more accurately label facial landmarks for "abnormal" faces?
I'm an ex-engineer, now pediatrian who would really like to be a founder in healthcare technology after residency (2 more years left). Can you show me how to get started? I'm in Seattle. My limitations are that I hope to stay sane, avoid sacrificing all of my time away from a family of 4 children, and be able to start in the light of a significant amount of educational debt (>100k). I know it's quite a specific request, but you said ask anything!
"Victims can easily spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours simply trying to put their life back together."
While that may or may not be true, this particular post certainly is nothing more than a piece of propaganda. For example, HIPAA regulations require PHI to be encrypted in transit and at rest, contrary to what this post tries to scare readers with. In general, healthcare organizations tend towards being extraordinarily conservative when it comes to security and require providers to jump through unnecessary hoops tO access data. Citrix seems to be deployed widely across hospitals, which is a pretty blunt security iinstrument for things like even access to email. It's true that there is tons of work to be done to improve security and access to healthcare data, but for pretty much none of the reasons stated here. Lastly, how exactly is patient data a virtual gold mine? Given the risk of dealing with federally protected data, is there a marketplace for actually selling stolen PHI for a reasonable return?
Decoupling medical notes from billing would relieve a huge burden from the modern practice of medicine. I would like to have a robust set of clinic notes with the corresponding outgoing billing documents.
Thanks. That's very good to know. Wisent looks great, and here's a link: https://github.com/seehuhn/wisent. My goal right now is to add the ability to quickly write a simple DSL into my skill set. I intend to start with PLY since it seems to have a minimally lower barrier to entry. The rules live in the .py file without need for additional compilation.
