> However, I'm finding it hard to model a scenario in which a virus is already replicating in one's system and external exposure to comparitively infinitesimal amounts of the same virus has an impact. Do you have any actual evidence to present which backs up your claims?

Who really knows, but there are genetic diversity effects in other diseases. We also know that being exposed to a tiny initial viral load has a better prognosis with many diseases than a massive one (including with past SARS).

Doctors could be facing a "quadruple whammy"-- a disproportionate share of the worst strains (because they're meeting the most ill patients; exposure to greater viral loads; exposure to many patients with many slight variants of the disease; and sleep deprivation and overwork causing minor immune suppression.

But in the end, this is all speculation.
That's certainly fair. I read the article Karen Hao (the reporter) wrote when it was published. My read on her discussing the secretive nature of OpenAI and access within its facility was a proxy to show how the organization has changed since its inception. OpenAI, as the name suggests, was founded to be a place where "“Researchers will be strongly encouraged to publish their work, whether as papers, blog posts, or code, and our patents (if any) will be shared with the world.” [0]

That contrasts with how Hao got a number of interviews:

"Many who work or worked for the company insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak or feared retaliation. Their accounts suggest that OpenAI, for all its noble aspirations, is obsessed with maintaining secrecy, protecting its image, and retaining the loyalty of its employees."

Does "OpenAI" mean unfettered access for reporters? Nah, but within the context of the article, her pictures of secrecy at the org add color.

I'm curious what elements drew you to conclude it was overall a hit-piece.

I found the headline and a part of it trying to seem sensational e.g. "What Went Wrong?", which in spite of that it was a really informative article for me.

If anything seemed scandalous to me, its OpenAI's change from non-profit status and Altman's proclamation that

"In sharing his 2020 vision for the lab privately with employees, Altman’s message is clear: OpenAI needs to make money in order to do research—not the other way around."

Contrast that with:

"For one thing, the sticker price was shocking: the venture would start with $1 billion from private investors"

One billion is a lot of dollars! How in the world are they already in need of more funding?

I also wonder what Altman does there. For being CEO, he is mentioned only in passing in the article.

> Cache is shared by the cores,

Not really. All three levels of cache are split on Rome. L1 and L2 are per-core, and L3 is per-CCX (4 cores). If you have 1 thread with a working set larger than the 16MB L3 slice that each CCX gets, then you'll be hitting DRAM rather than spill over into the L3 of another CCX. But if you have cores on separate CCXs that are using the same region of memory, then the usual cache coherency semantics for separate chips applies.

The next version of AMD's Zen architecture is expected to increase the CCX size to 8 cores, so all 32MB of L3 on an 8-core chiplet will be unified and shared between all 8 cores, rather that being partitioned into two 16MB per-CCX chunks. I don't think it's practical for them to unify the L3 cache across multiple chiplets given the performance of their inter-die connections, and I don't think they have the die space on the central IO die for a fully unified L4 cache. (Shrinking the IO die to 7nm may make it possible to have some L4, but probably not enough to really help many workloads.)
I agree a 9m turntable would take some time to make.

4mm skin sounds OK and I am sure there are some structural supports inside to keep it from collapsing.
I am not a weld engineer so I cannot say if Sub-Arc would be the best technique. I know that ships skins are being built with it.
Basically, it's a long-winded way of dividing the middle class into white-collar and blue-collar and pointing out that blue-collar has taken it in the shorts and is angry.

It's not wrong. But, as always, it projects nothing actionable. What does that blue-collar cohort DO to regain economic well-being?
Like the upper middle class? Novel concept.

> Intel and nVidia can eat AMD alive anytime they want. Invidually or together. Once, or many times.

Except they can't.

1) Since I'm assuming you're talking about CPUs, nVidia can't make x86-64 processors. Only AMD and Intel can. Literally. They can't use that ISA. Maybe they can take them in the GPU market, but again, they probably still can't.

2) Intel looks like they can, and they do in fact have the funds to do it. But that's just not how it works. AMD has decoupled their tapping and design long ago. Intel still hasn't. The speed at which Intel can innovate is becoming very limited. So while they might catch up, and follow suit, it looks like Intel can't "eat" AMD at this point in time. At least not product wise. Maybe in 5 or 10 years, if AMD starts slacking off again.
There is also a hypoxic breathing drive but it is weaker than the hypercapnic drive.
It's an interesting and somewhat useful take on things, but like a dog wearing pants, things just don't seem to fit very well.

First, I do think it's ridiculous that he takes it as a given that Oligarchs favour climate policy. Yes, I can see how someone can point to Musk and .... I dunno Al Gore? and try to make the point, but for every Musk-a-like, there are many dozens of rich people very deeply vested in the fossil industry. I don't think any serious survey of the financial interests of the global superrich will support this view.

Second, while he alludes to the lack of homeownership amongst the young the fact that the single biggest cost-of-living expense (and it's incredible growth during the last decade) is large controlled by his embattled "yeomanry" gets ignored. It very much complicates his story to realize that his supposed victims are in fact profiting handsomely and generally cause much pain to the supposedly superior "clerisy". Just think of the typical academic renting from an older person in any large city today and you get a good sense of how wrong his story is.
Probably nothing: they already exist in Chrome as, respectively, next/previous / top/bottom of the page. Edtr.io appears to hijack them for no reason.
current risk for healthy adults appears to be 0.1-0.2% which is comparable to a bad flu season while the chance of getting infected is lower by several magnitudes given how relatively few numbers of cases there are even if you assume there's a lot of asymptomatic cases.

If we take China as a comparison, a country with urban agglomerations of 50 million people and more and the 80k cases as rough estimate then the chance that you're even going to be infected in the US is marginal.

So unless you panic literally every time you leave your house I don't see why this is appropriate to cause a panic.

> Airlines might buy these, because if they can differentiate premium economy a bit more from regular economy, they might be able to sell more of it.

I’m not sure the economics are that simple. I won’t fly economy long haul, and generally fly business. When I’m feeling broke or when I think it won’t be thaaat bad I’ll go for Premium Economy. This seat would allow me to fly PE more, and cost the airline a Business seat.
The Bush administration did let the mission in Afghanistan creep from crippling al Qaeda, to reconstructing Afghan society so that al Qaeda could not return. This is what pulled us in to trying to dismantle the Taliban as well. Remember that Taliban and al Qaeda are distinct.
This distinction is pointless for the people it purports to classify. An HVAC engineer working for a university is no different than an HVAC engineer working for a market driven company. Pretending that they are in two different middle classes is bullshit.

This article is a big struggle to fit people into bad classifications and suffers readability (and a point in general) because of it. An article grouping middle class members based on toilet paper orientation would be more interesting.
It's crazy to think, if human civilization were to shut down the earth would fairly rapidly become much better off. Other species would flourish again, plants would slowly take over our cities. There'd be less bickering. Hm.

Both my wife and I are celiac.

It was quite an adjustment, but with both of us unable to consume gluten, the house is GF. I’ve found eating out with coworkers the hardest - generally less planning, just going out for happy hour or whatever.

As far as eating in foreign countries (we’re in the US), Italy has been the best. Restaurants are well trained, there’s even a certification program. Residents get a tax break because GF food tends to be more expensive. And all kids are tested.

Scotland generally has GF options at the market, even smaller Co-op locations, but dining out is hit or miss. Nicer restaurants are usually accommodating, but pubs and suchlike not as much.

Iceland was similar.

And the US is really hot or miss. Cities tend to be ok. Suburbs and rural areas are a mixed bag. Chain supermarkets have GF food, small corner markets usually do not.
>No, that is a take that you have been fed by those who have gigantic vested interests in stopping any attempts to challenge THEIR power and profits.

Like who? The evil oil companies who are one of the major drivers of the greenwashed consumerism that is being touted as the solution to "climate change"? They don't care about oil, they care about money. They invest in whatever they think will make them money, including silly nonsense like wind and solar.

>You are being used as a useful idiot to spread uncertainty about absolute facts about absolutely real and highly pressing threats to our entire planet.

That's a very arrogant take on it. No part of climate hysteria is absolute facts, and climate hysteria is very clearly distracting people from REAL highly pressing threats to our ecosystems. We're letting huge portions of the oceans DIE while we pretend it is because of CO2 emissions, rather than doing something about the disposable consumer culture driving the massive amount of pollution coming from Chinese rivers and causing the problem. We just want to go on causing the problem, but pretend that charging our worthless electronic garbage from a solar panel instead of a natural gas plant makes it ok.

>Stop repeating them. Stop repeating them NOW. Stop helping those who put their own profits before the needs of all of humanity. Stop helping bring about destruction. Just stop

Consider taking your own advice. You are promoting an environmentally destructive system driven by corporate greed because it is a current social virtue to do so. Are you going to come back and apologize to all the people you needlessly lashed out at in 30 years when the shambling corpse of the climate boogeyman can no longer be made to look scary? When you realize that promoting the continuation of an unsustainable global economic system CAUSED a real global catastrophe, rather than preventing one? Or will you gradually allow yourself to pretend you never really believed in global warming and always knew it was fake as that becomes the predominant opinion?
You talk like it's one person. It's an entire community. No proof either.

I think the modern term for the clerisy is the Professional Managerial Class or “PMC” — and the definition of the working class has been expanded to include “service industry” workers.
"And even if you wanted to treat each chiplet as a separate NUMA node, 4 isn't the right number for Rome."

You can configure Rome systems with 1, 2, or 4 NUMA domains per socket (NPS1, NPS2, or NPS4, where NPS == "NUMA per socket".) Memory bandwidth is higher if you configure as NPS4, but it exposes different latencies to memory based on its location.

It's really impressive that you can get uniform latency to memory for 64 cores on the 7702 chips (when configured as NPS1).

Developers who don't want to go through the App Store can release source code to their customers and then those customers can compile and install it themselves. This is obviously unreasonable for consumer apps but will work fine for enterprise customers.

This has to be hyperbole right? In any startup labor and rent is the dominant cost, not compute and other SaaS products.

If the battery is bad while there is still warranty then Apple should replace it for free. If it deteriorates later than that (much more common) then you have no warranty anyway!
Things that can be actual issues:

- Apple not providing batteries and making the use of third party parts a worse experience

- Third party repairs having side effects such as touch-ID not working.

It’s fair to argue that Apple should make products that can will be serviced for free by them during the warranty period and then they should be serviceable by anyone and keep full functionality.
It doesn't because it's not necessary when you can get 128 physical cores with two sockets. Do you really need 256 cores on a single board? If you do, wait a year or so and there will be 128-core packages available.

They also support ECC. What's not "well" about EYPC?
It’s a pressurized tin can. It’s not a rocket. The entire thing could get nuked from orbit and SpaceX would still lose less money cleaning up the radiation than they would if Starship failed - potentially with people on board.

They’re at a “throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks” stage in the engineering cycle. They’re using (and abusing) processes never meant to be used for spaceflight, so in a lot of ways nobody there really knows how to do things correctly without trying and testing it. Imagine trying to learn a language like Go without being able to access any documentation on it. You would waste a ton of time and utterly fail at simple tasks too.

It isn't purely about the (energy density of the) chemicals themselves, but also about the available reformation / hydrogenation processes. As far as my limited knowledge goes, the processes for methanol have seen more development, but formic acid has a potential for simpler and smaller systems in less demanding circumstances (pressure, heat).

While Brahmins are "white-collar" pretty much by definition, Vaishyas/yeomanry clearly encompasses both blue-collar and white-collar groups. So I don't think the traditional "blue- vs. white-collar" distinction is quite the same thing as what this article is about.

Diabetes, CVD Tied to Worse Prognosis for Covid-19 Infection
"a new market for virus infection has emerged"

> a few groups claim a vaccine is only a few months away

That's just wrong as it would take months and months to test before you could deploy it. At least one of the vaccines for SARs actually made things worse, if memory serves. Not to mention the manufacturing ramp up time.

The map is not the territory. For example, in the US, it is entirely unclear how many cases there are as only 400 tests have been done in total.

Hopefully the antivirals will work out.
I think it would be close to how people in the clerisy (well payed employees with a secure job) take less risk and therefore are able to support left wing measures. If the economy as a whole crashes they stand to lose little or nothing at all. Meanwhile, if the "main street shop owners" take similar risks ins similar situations they not only stand to lose their business, but their current and future livelihood. This makes them conservative and against progressive policy.
You seem really hung up on the fact that the flu has killed more people. But based on all the studies we've seen so far, this virus is more contagious than the flu, and more deadly as well. If it infects the same number of people as the flu does every year, a lot more people will die.
How can this possibly work with the (immensely sensible) FAA complete evacuation time rules? It’s already challenging to get people evacuated in a sensible amount of time without people having to use ladders. The ladders make leaving the seat harder as it is, and then you have people going against the evacuation flow (they’re blocking the aisles while they climb down).
This is a publication with a long history of presenting both interesting and sloppy thinking, sometimes in the same article. It tends to value libertarian (or -ish) takes relatively uncritically, and have some bizarre obsessions (by which I mean, topics taken up with a frequency all out of proportion to any impact).

That isn't to say they aren't worth reading, but that this article is flawed in a characteristic way.
It's amazing that one of the best moves AMD ever made was ditching their own fab and throwing in with TSMC and others instead.

This article is a bit confused. It pits the left and right middle classes against each other and also against the oligarchy, and then brings up how Trump stands against the left middle class without mentioning how much he represents and supports the oligarchy that systematically takes advantage of both the right and the left.

It also tries to cast the left middle class as allies of the oligarchy by bringing populist green energy fearmongering, without mentioning that it is in fact fossil fuels that a) enrich and entrench the oligarchy, and b) reinforce centralized infrastructure tendencies over distributed ones. Lots of communities have space for renewable energy generation on-site; almost no communities could produce their own fossil fuels.

Finally, scarcity drives most of the forces that oligarchs benefit from, so naturally the oligarchy wants us to stay on fossil fuels. Renewables are the populist, conservative solution that’s better for families and communities than for corporations, but the mega-rich right-wing fossil fuel magnates have fooled their poorer and less-educated right-wing compatriots into thinking otherwise.
Is the battery for some kind of fan that pulls in air? Presumably any kind of fan would make it difficult to extract the air output properly. You should focus on HEPA compliant masks that make it easier to filter out things, like the Respro series -- however those are not confirmed for use to extract solvents and paints, so that might be worse than no option at all because you could believe that you are protected and actually the mask does not protect you.
Testing Eero Pro: Can Mesh Wi-Fi Handle Gigabit Speeds?
The last 2,000 years has seen countless civilisations rise and fall; so many and of such complexity it is basically impossible to learn all the lessons they have to teach about prosperity. Gotta spend a lot of time relearning old lessons and reorganising how we expect the thing to run.

This article is to represent the faction of people (not named, I'll call them Quilletians) who think that power and influence resting with small businesses and normal-but-wealthy families (identified as middle class yeomanry) is likely the secret sauce of why English-speaking countries have done so well so far.

The thesis here is that the yeomanry are being opposed by government or oligarchic policy and their perspective is being mitigated by a group of people called the 'clerisy'. The article is demarcating who this clerisy are and aren't so that there is a common language for Quilletians to work out what to think and then do about them.

If mobile is at all critical to your business, then you build in native - period.

I think we've all learned at least that much in the past few years.

A lot of businesses either overestimate or underestimate their mobile product needs because they don't understand the market or the platform. Expectations for an interactive consumer mobile app (Ride-sharing, Social media, Photo editing, etc) are extremely high and it would be foolish to under-invest or try to take shortcuts. At the same time there are ton of businesses (Home listings, Saas tools, Informational apps, etc) that would be well served by a simple React Native app. Know which type of business you are.
