For intersect I also wonder if you add a filter that the books are within the top rated. Like if I give my favorite books and want to find someone who has my same taste, it doesn't help if they hated (all/most/some) of those books. Tricky in that not all users give star ratings

Yes, longer. It seems no one wants to hire graduating PhD students without a postdoc or internship.
Oh no! What field? Are you going to more industrial jobs

Keep in mind that default Gmail allows webhooks for any changes (email received but also changing labels, etc), for free using Gmail pubsub. I use it a lot because it's the only way of getting programmatic notifications from credit card purchases (turn on purchase alerts to all cards, send to Gmail, have a filter archive but capture the reception in webhooks. Parse with simple regex)
Super fast low latency very satisfying. Pubsub scales well and free :)
I believe these cheaper devices are not very accurate ie accuracy range of 20% which is a fairly wide window. I’ve also heard there are many things that can impact your glucose even with the same meal like time of day, exercise, stress, sleep, etc. So if you actually want to find the patterns you’d need the expensive CGM over many months.
Is that true? I have no perspective but it's relied on by diabetics and if since they can't regulate it themselves, if the readings are off and they gave themselves insulin, they would know it is wrong. Maybe the OTC ones is different than the diabetic one but I didn't think so
Last time I checked,[0] this works great - as long as you don't particularly care which specific versions of imagemagick or cowsay you want.
If you do care, then welcome to learning about niv, flakes, etc.
[0]: admittedly 3 years ago or so.
This is a hack but I still found it helpful. If you do want to force a certain version, without worrying about flakes [1] this can be your bash shebang, with similar for nix configuration.nix or nix-shell interactive. It just tells nix to use a specific git hash for it's base instead of whatever your normal channel is.
For my use case, most things I don't mind tracking mainline, but some things I want to fix (chromium is very large, python changes a lot, or some version broke things)
``` #! nix-shell -i bash -p "cowsay" '(import (fetchTarball { url="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/eb090f7b923b1226e8b... sha256 = "15iglsr7h3s435a04313xddah8vds815i9lajcc923s4yl54aj4j";}) {}).python3' ```
[1] flakes really aren't bad either, especially if you think about it as just doing above, but automatically
Hi there, Since you mentioned Hetzner, I thought I would respond here. While we do not have NixOS as one of our standard images for our cloud products, it is part of our ISO library. Customers can install it manually. To do this, create a cloud server, click on it, and then on the "ISO" in the menu, and then look for it listed alphabetically. --Katie
and I've been using nixos on hetzner, nothing crazy but it's always worked great :-). A nice combination with terraform

I think there is a lot of hope because, in a purely research setting, this is extremely routine. The field of genomics is vast but the protocols are somewhat cheap and well understood. It's always hard to do a trial, and the tools are still often aimed at scientists (who are willing to spend months doing a single novel analysis), not point and click for a clinician. But even some relatively low hanging fruit will be extremely effective I think
Not viral/bacterial but human mutations but this is an inspiring study --- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31019026/ , https://radygenomics.org/2021/13-hours-rady-childrens-instit...
A child is born with potential rare genetic disease. They sequence their DNA within 13 hours and come back with a diagonsis in some proportion of cases (they give lots of stats, it's small sample size, maybe 1/4 improved outcomes, maybe 2/3 have immediate change to their care)
This made me think: what if my little utility assistant program that I have, similar to your Stevens, had access to a mailbox?
I've got a little utility program that I can tell to get the weather or run common commands unique to my system. It's handy, and I can even cron it to run things regularly, if I'd like.
If it had its own email box, I can send it information, it could use AI to parse that info, and possibly send email back, or a new message. Now, I've got something really useful. It would parse the email, add it to whatever internal store it has, and delete the message, without screwing up my own email box.
Thanks for the insight.
For gmail, there's also an amazing thing where you can hook it with pubsub. So now it's push not pull. Any server will get pubsub little webhooks for any change within milliseconds (you can filter server side or client side for specific filters)
This is amazing, you can do all sorts of automations. You can feed it to an llm and have it immediately tag it (or archive it). For important emails (I have a specific label I add, where if the person responds, it's very important and I want to know immediately) you can hook into twilio and it calls me. Costs like 20 cents a month
