Notable Health is Hiring forward Deployed engineers.

We're on a mission to simplify and optimize healthcare for humanity. Most of healthcare is digitized, but it hasn't really changed. Humans still toil away at mundane, administrative tasks. Therefore, we're turning manual work queues into fully automated workflows. We integrate into the EHR systems (something we've grown to be quite good at) using technologies across the spectrum (LLMs, OCR, Basic Models, and of course good 'ol logic).

I assume the time to publish is too long, and the research too expensive. Aging takes time. Hopefully this changes soon.


Coming soon, on-demand aging.


YC 2043: Aging as a service. AaaS.


I mean ... they literally talk about the potential ability to force the aging process backward or forward in the abstract, so... haha.


Expedient prisons then. No need to serve time. You just lose 30 years on the spot.


I've been dealing with this some myself. It really sucks. I felt so guilty because in the grand scheme of things, I'm doing great, but at work, I couldn't bring myself to do the most trivial things I'd done countless times. Thankfully, I came across this article which has been helpful in setting me on the right track. https://apple.news/AIRTKZkBFQBmDhsIAImifTw

TL;DR - Occupational Burnout is a result of the body's inability to respond to cortisol (stress hormone) in the work environment. Sleep, vacationing & working out are a prerequisite, but insufficient to correct. The article instead recommends that people should address major contributing factors that show up most commonly:

1. workload

2. autonomy

3. fairness

4. reward: comp + recognition

5. workplace community

6. purpose: values + meaning

^ In my case, I took a hard look at each one and have been making sure I focus on addressing those that seem to be most demotivating to me. Creating a physical work environment and reading about the behavioral science of habbit forming has also been great support.

Best of luck in getting through it. You're not alone!


^ Context: Most reading SOLID use lower level code examples, but one could imagine that relatively large network/serialization overhead compared to simple method/function calls could conceivably change the rules in certain scenarios. Wondered if people had good examples to share.


I'll settle for better than most. Have any experiences here?


Git for source control, jira for issue tracking, everything else nothing stands out.


I've heard stripe is good. I've been told google is like working in a different world. But what makes them good? What principles were important as they invested in them?


I see a modify button in the upper right hand corner. Is this date supposed to be modifiable?


That's a website that lets you create countdowns. It's not affiliated to Python.

But yes, I guess you could convince some company to keep supporting Python 2 for you. In fact it would surprise me if such service doesn't pop up just before Python 2 support ends. May be much cheaper than porting to 3 for some companies.


Hey Guys, Head of Engineering at SendHub here. We recently switched over to using webflow for our marketing pages (everything under www) and have not looked back! It's really nice to be able to knock out custom responsive pages quickly all while enabling non-technical people to make minor edits. One thing we like in particular is the ability to easily push changes to different subdomains. Finally, if we ever do decide that we need something different (doubtful in the foreseeable future) the code that webflow generates is beautiful and maintainable. Webflow has huge fans at SendHub.


Hey All, definitely check out SendHub as a Business Replacement for google voice. It has all of the same features (and plenty GV doesn't). In my opinion SendHub also has better apps and a way better web interface.

Also, I'm a Co-Founder here at SendHub. So if you have any questions on getting this to work please drop us a line. (ryan@sendhub.com)


How do minutes and texts work when all of it redirecting to another number? In other words, I already pay for unlimited text and several hundred minutes as part of my mobile phone plan. The vast majority of my communications are forwarded to that phone. Would I have to pay SendHub again for those minutes and messages if they were routed through SendHub?


Any update on when MMS is coming? I'll pay for it for personal use when that gets implemented.


Hierarchical Temporal Memory is the closest model to the brain that I've seen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_temporal_memory). They are capable of generalized learning and excel in the same way that humans do. They are capable of abstraction, self categorization, and online learning.

There are elements of past AI models in the HTM model, however to reduce HTM's or any deep learning algorithm to a mere combination of past AI concepts overlooks the power of the right model when it is achieved. It would be like saying that Facebook is just a news feed. Sure, that's what gets most of the eyeballs, but there's a lot more there which would drastically reduce its value if not present.

What I think is most interesting is that we may find that Humans learn pretty inefficiently from the perspective of the amount of input data required over time. This may seem silly at first, but when you consider how many neurons cover the surface area of our ears and eyes and then consider the fact that it takes anywhere from 12 to 14 months for a child to speak its first word, you might start to agree with this line of thought. Also, when I consider the fact that this processing all happens in parallel even further pushes me in this direction.

Whatever the case may be, HTMs are definitely a cool area of research. For those who are interested, you should definitely check out more of Jeff Hawkins work at Numenta. They've been able to demonstrate some pretty novel things. He wrote a book back in 2006 that blew my mind. Went into deeper explanation about how HTMs could model everything from deep learning, to consciousness, creativity, and bunch of other things.
