> you become dizzy with too much O2 in your blood

I've never heard of this, can you elaborate?

This looks interesting. I'm open to replacing my current (actually quite rudimentary) "capture to org-mode" setup. Is there any way to dump all/important parts of the information Memex captures to plain text/CSV/etc, or, say, a sqlite database?

Overall, this is a space I'm very interested in and this looks like a polished product. I'll be keeping an eye on it; I've installed the addon and am looking forward to playing with it :)

PS. "Full-text search" seemed to me (and might to many) like full-text search of webpage contents, not just URLs/titles. It's not malicious, of course, but it feels slightly misleading.

Flagged. This breaks the Show HN rules: OP is not the creator of this.

I know the author; they shared it privately with friends and weren't ready to post this publicly yet.

Quick note that may be of interest: S² is the mathematical notation for the "2-sphere", aka what we call a sphere in everyday language. I suppose that's explained by this:

> A unique feature of the S2 library is that unlike traditional geographic information systems, which represent data as flat two-dimensional projections (similar to an atlas), the S2 library represents all data on a three-dimensional sphere (similar to a globe).

(S^2 if the superscript character doesn't show up for you.)

> Physiological values are complex in paediatrics. They are more than complicated because although there are published ‘normal values’ which will guide the clinician in knowing whether a child is tachycardic or tachypnoeic, these are in fact reference ranges that were initially based on expert opinion. Although meta-analysis shows these reference ranges to be at least somewhat valid, it is probably safest not to think of them as ‘normal ranges’ at all since much of the data includes children in abnormal circumstances. Indeed, the clinician who relies on these values will by definition be unlikely to have a ‘normal’ child in front of them.

Relatedly, I'd imagine that (akin to the story about choosing what parts of a fighter plane to armour) the worst health emergencies, esp. in children, are the ones where the child does not make it to the ER alive or is either unresuscitable (word?) or deteriorates rapidly and uncontrollably before a diagnosis can be made.

> Because the two NUMA nodes are ~entirely independent, it's capable of running two independent processes at full speed.

I don't understand. From my (admittedly little better than layperson's) knowledge, I'm guessing the cores of most multicore processors have to compete for memory access...? Is there a good search term I can use to help me understand what's going on here?

Alexander Grothendieck, one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th century, on cognitive "facility" and giftedness:

   Since then I’ve had the chance in the world of mathematics that bid me welcome,
   to meet quite a number of people, both among my “elders” and among young people
   in my general age group who were more brilliant, much more ‘gifted’ than I was.
   I admired the facility with which they picked up, as if at play, new ideas,
   juggling them as if familiar with them from the cradle–while for myself I felt
   clumsy, even oafish, wandering painfully up an arduous track, like a dumb ox
   faced with an amorphous mountain of things I had to learn (so I was assured)
   things I felt incapable of understanding the essentials or following through to
   the end. Indeed, there was little about me that identified the kind of bright
   student who wins at prestigious competitions or assimilates almost by sleight
   of hand, the most forbidding subjects.

   In fact, most of these comrades who I gauged to be more brilliant than I have
   gone on to become distinguished mathematicians. Still from the perspective or
   thirty or thirty five years, I can state that their imprint upon the
   mathematics of our time has not been very profound. They’ve done all things,
   often beautiful things in a context that was already set out before them, which
   they had no inclination to disturb. Without being aware of it, they’ve remained
   prisoners of those invisible and despotic circles which delimit the universe of
   a certain milieu in a given era. To have broken these bounds they would have to
   rediscover in themselves that capability which was their birthright, as it was
   mine: The capacity to be alone.
