    A nature paper describes an AI system that can predict acute kidney injury up to 48 hours before it occurs. The approach could help identify patients who are at risk & enable earlier treatment.

    Why bother writing long naming schemes rather than using Unicode, Foreign Languages and Specialized Editors + Keyboards

    Posted: 02 Aug 2019 01:10 PM PDT

    Why have programmers not developed better ways of managing complexity through extended character ranges?

    Unicode also implies the mapping of complex concepts to single characters, an editor can choose how it displays the character.

    These tools can also greatly simplify the implementation of programming languages...

    Benefits:

    • Simplified Language Implementations
    • More Compact Programs
    • Compact Representation of Many Complex Concepts
    • Not English-centric

    Background:

    I was trying to write an even smaller lua implementation, when I started to conceive of a language that was easier to parse but capable of running in the same VM/context as lua. One notable benefit to unicode in this context is that it allows for more compact programs, which mean's programs that are much easier to reason about.

    What is the appeal of weakly and dynamically typed languages?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2019 04:42 PM PDT

    I must be missing something because I don't understand why everyone loves languages like Python for being dynamically typed. I can't quite see the benefit besides something like having a var be false until set to having a real value.

    To me all I can see is that it introduces lots of errors because of a var being changed type before passing into a function. Wouldn't you just need lots of extra checks for each function because of this?

    ELI5 maybe?

    As a compsci and math student, how do I not be bored to death in software engineering class?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2019 09:00 AM PDT

    I'm used to proofs and programming, not boring old words stating the obvious every slide.
