> Long press, especially on selected text, has always been a subpar user interaction.

Exactly, and other than web pages (before this UX change), virtually every other well-defined piece of content that is likely to be shared had a prominent, distinct, easy-access share button on mobile (the separate copy to clipboard button added for URLs is not a common affordance; in most cases that functionality is one of many options accessed through the sharing function. OTOH, for URLs and certain other shared content, copying-and-paste is a particularly common sharing method, so promoting it to a first-class option further streamlines a common use case. ) This change actually better aligns the browser with every other way of interacting with shareable content on mobile rather than violating mobile UX expectations.

GPU engineers might have something to say about that. Depending on the context, trading off on precision can be a valid engineering choice.
I know about Smolensky's theories (have probably read that paper, but don't remember it exactly; have def. read others by PS); PS and JE are definitely contemporaries, and work/have worked in similar areas. However, these two theories operate at different levels and time scales. The oscillatory coupling theories of PS et al are related to real time computations carried out by neural networks, whereas the trophic wave theories of JE et al. relate to how these networks come to be organized as they are. As per other posts, both are useful, and probably both true to some extent. Neither is directly applicable yet in a way that makes contact with the cognitive level.

VKI: Experimental WebGPU Implementation in Rust
The idea is pretty closely correlated to the really high end cadence style hardware emulators. Those tend to be made out of a sea of tiny ascetic processors that only know logic ops rather than LUTs, AFAIK.

So it would seem they beat FPGAs in some niches.

I question the 80ghz number given by the grandparent though. Looking at visual 6502 you're not going to get a order of better magnitude fanout on that design.

You are basically claiming that the difference in behaviour that was reported between the initial population and later generations was exaggerated because there seems to be a photo from 1922 showing a tame individual. I hope you see how claiming any level of tameness based on a few photos cannot be considered good evidence. Photos can be highly misleading, it's easy to see something that's not there. From what I understand, all sources reporting from this experiment and other similar ones claim huge differences in behaviour not only betweeen the initial generation and the selected ones, but also between control groups of animals which were kept in very similar conditions, except they were not submitted to "tameness selection". This difference of course over a large amount of animals, not over just a few. So, maybe the animals in the photo were indeed fairly tame (which as I said before, cannot be concluded from old photos), but even then, that does not mean that they were nearly as common as in the "evolved" animals from the study, where the rate of highly tamed individuals reached above 80% already. Which means that pointing out a counter-example is like claiming global warming is fake because it's been cold in the Midwest.

Some additional information: this paper cites the unpublished paper you mention ("Genomic characterization and infectivity of a novel SARS-like coronavirus in Chinese bats"): https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

With regard to ZC45, which your paper discusses, it states:

> The genome of our virus strains are phylogenetically closest to the bat SARS-related coronaviruses first found in the Chinese horseshoe bats, Rhinolophus sinicus, captured in Zhoushan, Zhejiang province, China, between 2015 and 2017. The full virus genome had about an 89% nucleotide identity with bat-SL-CoVZC45, which makes it a new species. Moreover, the Spike protein of our virus has an 84% nucleotide identity with the bat-SL-CoVZC45 coronavirus and an 78% nucleotide identity with the human SARS coronavirus.

Doesn't answer your question as to how common this is, but provides some additional context on the extent of similarities.

Right. Every tool invented by humans is superior in achieving a certain end than is our inborn equivalent. We don't have to faithfully model nature to surpass it.

Likewise manmade models based in mathematics and statistics have long proved more accurate in predicting outcomes than the human mind, even though we know the mind doesn't employ math.

Does that contradict the idea that a similar virus was found and then modifed in the lab?
I used to do the soil lab testing for a guy that dealt with this waste in my state. They did permitting and paid farmers to be able to spread it on their fields and tell them it is good for them and will make the soil more fertile. It can be either the salt brine or the more hydrocarbon based stuff that was basically like tar being spread on the farmer’s pasture. He himself wrote the laws that the state government just rubber-stamped. I felt like I was working for evil, polluting my own state, and quit as soon as I could. Some real Grapes of Wrath type stuff. The old farmers don’t have any money, so the money the oil company will pay to spread that garbage on their land seems like a good deal to them and they weren’t informed about the real dangers of what was being spread.

Side note, the owner of that company was a very rich man and also one of the unhappiest people I’ve ever met in my life. It was a good lesson to learn at my young age then.

The article does a good job of connecting business incentives to interface design or lack thereof. Arguably, some of the most influential "tools for thought" today are videos, thanks to mobile devices/data & Youtube. They offer:

- distribution: global at low cost
- accessibility: low barrier to create/view
- funding: ads, patreon, product placement
- creation: video editor + smartphone
- composition: screenshot/record anything
- annotation: free-form text/audio/overlay
- UX: any structure the creator can imagine

The diversity of youtube "thought UX" examples shows what's possible when creators are unleashed from restrictive tool pre-conceptions. Twitter is a social network where an early minimalist UX lead to user-driven innovations, with later attempted formalization by the platform vendor. Google has not much ventured into content creation tools for its video platform. Apple's iPad provides tools for freeform markup of screenshots -> PDF, with the LumaFusion video editor rivaling PC apps for one-tenth of the cost.

Perhaps universities have studied online videos for UX patterns employed by creators to communicate complex topics? Which ones deserve formalization in tool workflows, while leaving room for ongoing experimentation?

Not only that, they could do it even when they drank coffee (though having caffeine in your system does make it harder), and even while the simulated noise of machine gunfire and cannon blasts played in the background!
Method of transmission does not stop bats from being a reservoir for the virus.

It was already capable of making the species jump (else it wouldn't), and could have further adapted to using other transmission routes once it got into humans.

The long incubation time makes me think it takes awhile for the virus to get a foothold.

There is no such thing. I worked with applications that dealt with tens of billions of Euros, and if the bottom line was off by even 1 cent, the users would come to us to figure out what went wrong. Suggesting that this is acceptable to knowingly introduce errors, when there is a pretty well-established practice that allows to avoid them entirely, is baffling.

Actually neither. Family history with alcohol, burned out on coffee as a kid (would drink it at my grandparents' house pretty regularly), and sodas I kicked a couple years ago because it was starting to burn when drinking some of the stronger ones (my fault. Consumed it like it was water.)

But fair point, I didn't consider that when saying drugs. Meant more along the lines of drugs that work could come down on me for (marijuana and up. Personally, I think if alcohol and cigarettes are legal, so too should marijuana, but the legalization of it wouldn't change my non-use of it. Just seems a stupid prohibition to have within the context.).

What do you do when it's the NYT Editorial Board themselves writing the Op-Ed that gets facts wrong?

The older I've gotten, the more I've read news stories that are directly related to me, my industry or people I'm in regular contact with. The percentage of these stories that are demonstrably false even on a basic fact checking level is 100%. In most instances, the reporting tells the exact opposite story from the events that happened and every single part of the story is misrepresented.

I started to see this a lot with Vice and BuzzFeed but it's crept into WaPo and most notably the NYT. I can't trust the Grey Lady anymore.
Tools that empower individuals on a mass scale are threatening to existing power structures.
A trust score could solve this problem.

Whenever someone flags a thread, the thread either gets globally flagged or not. If it automatically gets globally flagged, a mod may un-flag it. Or, it may not be automatically flagged, and a mod will flag it.

We can then find the probability that a user's flag will result in a "permanent, global flag" by looking at the user's history. We ought to use the lower bound of the Wilson score interval for this. This is the user's trust score, which needs to remain hidden from them.

We then set some threshold under which a user's flag will be shadow-ignored. This way, we only act on feedback that has a high probability of fitting the same pattern of mod behavior. Just make sure you have quality mods who consistently and correctly flag threads.

I hope they bring the Chromium based version of Edge to the Xbox too. I was playing some Babylon.js demos and it kept freezing up once I had to force restart the whole thing. But webGL + the controller API means you could ship to the console directly.

Not sure if Playstation browser could do this either, but be nice since console's are more locked down but seems they are opening up since Fortnite I believe is the first cross platform game where your Playstation and Xbox friends can play together. Then I think if you created something like a virtual world where dynamic content is allowed, I think the console makers might not be too thrilled about that, so really like the idea of being able to publish console games as just a web app directly.

I also think Microsoft is more open too when it comes to consoles, for example you can go to Walmart and buy a Xbox and then turn it into a DevKit while I believe the others make you buy a expensive DevKit hardware that isn't the same as the console already shipped, but maybe this is because of Microsoft's PC background. So from my understand it's easier to publish to the Xbox if making a native game compared to the other consoles, can get started faster but still need approval to ship - while I think with the PlayStation you have to spend a lot of money just to license the tools before you even write that first line of code.

I don't think so. Most apps get 0.5-0.6 instructions completed per clock cycle, and Intel cores can put out multiple instructions per cycle.

None of that should be taken as a particular defense of the US organic food regulation regime, which is indeed a big mess. But what you wrote was just silly.

That article seems to imply in the 10s of thousands per year, which is certainly a lot of airstrikes. US and Britain dropped something like 3 million tons of bombs during the strategic bombing of WW2, though. IIRC the 500 pound bomb was the most common.

And then there’s tens of millions of artillery shells, if you’re counting all ordnance.

Vietnam war had a huge amount of bombing too, with cluster bombs and the like.

This is great news. Except that a ton of software doesn't support ARM.

When I was trying to shift all my current infrastructure onto a couple of RPI's, many of the Docker containers didn't support ARM (qeumu and buildx aren't reliable) and other software didn't support ARM either.
