I don't think the Chinese government is unduly worried by narratives and scary names, but is instead inclined to be ruthlessly pragmatic.

Diseases spread. Yes, in their early phases of spread, the total devastation isn't that high.

Your statements would hold just as true for the early phases of the 1918 pandemic-- lots of people die from flu every year; still fewer have died than happened last year; etc. They're statements that are true until they're not.

There's no guarantee of catastrophe, but the potential for it is there.
It’s kind of the rat park idea right.
Big cities in Australia have a lot of gluten free options.

There are some interesting therapies on the horizon, basically a pill which contains an enzyme that breaks down the gluten before it can reach the small intestine [1].

I believe Coeliac disease will be cured in the next 20 years. The pathway to doing this is deleting the population of immune cells (T & B cells) which maintain the gluten sensitivity.

You've never owned an EV but you're perpetuating the notion that they're of unspecified poor quality compared to ICE vehicles?

I have a Nissan Leaf and a Tesla Model 3 and both are of comparable quality to ICE vehicles. They are in two different categories in terms of materials finish but neither is bad quality. The fit and finish of both is average to above average in the industry.
The US can't have normal relations with Cuba because the families of those who fled are swing voters in Florida. Whereas nobody cares about Vietnam and they're now a fairly normal far east state (effectively one-party, but so is Singapore) and communist in name only like China.

All of them had publicly defied the US at some point. It's the insult that matters to the establishment.
Seems like invading and destroying the pre-existing government of Iraq left the void, no?

The AMD Rome chips (including the 7302) behave as one numa node I thought (and can find online). You also get quite a lot of PCIe4 as a bonus and a higher all core base frequency. Though your mileage may vary depending on workload as you already stated.

Germany and Japan were mono-ethnic industrial states that largely didn't have anyone sabotaging the reconstruction, and Germany had the disadvantage of being split in half; everyone wanted to surrender to the US, because the alternative was the Soviet Union.
What astounds me is that GDPR seems to have an actual effect. When it first became law I just assumed that companies would just move their servers to $not_europe and create shell companies if required.
For about $230 a month the amount of functionalities a startup gets, compared to what would have been possible a decade ago, is truly enviable (at least for founders like me who are old). The nett capabilities at $2800 per year is roughly 1% of what a full time employee would cost the company. The times we live in!

It's worth noting this is only a hypothesis. Yes, in general, across viral illnesses, people have a worse course of disease with high viral load. Whether that's a primary cause of differences in prognosis-- who knows. It would help explain why medical practitioners seem to do so badly.
It cuts both ways. Problem is you guys think that technology is not going to move at all. It will.
> Ebooks: better than printed books

Ebooks are great. But they are different from paper books. They are like a cousin in the family: different, sure, but better? It's hard to say. Printed books' long-lasting beauty and tactile qualities are just not replicable by ebooks. Ebooks have other advantages, but the reading experience is not comparable.

Debugging Fundamentals
Disclaimer: I wrote this.

The intro already says this, but this article is about the high-level mindset of effective debuggers, as opposed to a list of useful specific tricks. I think the latter article is extremely valuable but (a) I don't quite have the raw experience to do such an article justice, and (b) I think the high-level philosophy of debugging has broader relevance across different languages, frameworks, or even disciplines (that is to say, one thing that struck me while writing this article is that the approach isn't just relevant to Software Engineers but really anyone who needs to identify and solve problems more generally).
Let's just say that doctors and nurses treating flu patients during the flu epidemic are generally not dying from flu, and quite a few doctors and nurses treating Covid-19 patients have died from Covid-19.

Sears appears to have have taken this to a new level. I got two emails from them today. The first arrived at 6:36 AM, with subject

> Confirmed! Your mystery Leap Year offer awaits inside. How much will you save?

The second arrived at 9:54 AM, with subject

> Oops! Your code is fixed. (We shoulda looked before we leap-yeared...)

The messages themselves appear to be identical except for some query parameters on some URLs, so I'm guessing that whatever they botched for leap year was on the server when one tried to respond to the offer.

Botching Feb 29 in general date handling code is embarrassing, but there is it least a somewhat plausible excuse that you just forgot about that special case. But botching Feb 29 in code that is meant to only work on Feb 29? Wow.
They kind of are, but the relationship is the wrong way around. Thinness is inversely correlated with battery life, a thicker phone has room for a bigger battery. Thinness also constrains your heat dissipation options, making it more difficult to drive the CPU/GPU at high clock speeds.

My phone lives, alone, in my left front pocket. I'd much rather have the benefits of a thicc phone than maximize thinness.
I was driving to a relatives house out of state when my phone died and I didn’t have a charger. I had their address and phone number only on my phone! I was panicking.

Luckily my phone was able to restart after a few minutes and I memorized the directions before it shut down again.

I still wonder what I would have done otherwise?

> So the quarantine in the US has failed, and we have no idea how badly.

No one ever suggested it was never going to spread in America. The quarantine was to TRY to prevent it from getting here, but you can only do so much.

Once it is here we will treat it. There are plenty procedures in place since 9/11 to handle these things properly.

The longer we held the quarantine the more time we had to prepare. We've done really well thanks to the early travel bans that the media was against.

Stop fear mongering.
I'm so glad that struck you! I think a lot of organizations talk about "work/life balance" without really doing anything concrete to make that possible, and I certainly appreciate the irony that this purportedly very abstract, theoretical approach to writing software is, head and shoulders, the most impactful thing to my quality of professional life.
I don't usually comment about downvotes, but I'll make an exception, since I used to fly premium economy regularly, and still do for all personal long-haul flights, I know what I said to be true.

I can only assume downvoters are confusing premium economy (the cabin class) with "premium plus" (or other names) that is offered by some airlines, which is nothing more than an economy seat with 1-3" of extra legroom, or sometimes just an economy seat in an exit row.

Sinophobia: How a virus reveals the many ways China is feared
I agree that this is likely true, but it's worth noting the big caveat: sensitivity of the tests are poor, particularly (to an unknown extent) in people with mild disease. Until we have good serological antibody testing it's going to be difficult to quantify.
It labels almost every paragraph as a different speaker, which makes you wonder why they bother to try! Does their software really think the podcast has 20 different participants?
Roam has a number of features that are different from workflowy (and a number of similarities, to be sure). The bidirectional linking and sidebar features make a huge difference, and I haven't even gotten into the new "query" functionality that some folks seem to be into.
>> I’ve heard symptoms relate less with age and more with viral load. The sicker other people are and the more frequently you come in contact with them, the more lethal it becomes.

Are you sure that's accurate? I'm not disputing that as viral load increases, so do symptoms, and ability to infect others.

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?
So it seems that OpenAI realized they needed more compute power than they could afford, so they started a for-profit arm that could take outside investment from Microsoft to cover those costs.

This piece suggests that they have since focused (at least partially) on creating profitable products/services, because they need to show Microsoft that this investment was worthwhile.

Does anyone with more context know if this is accurate, and if so, why they changed their approach/focus? What are they working on and is GAI still a goal?
You can configure it in different ways in a BIOS but the physical reality remains that it is NUMA and some accesses take longer than others.
0.7% mortality rate for 2019-nCoV is inaccurate.

We do not know the mortality rate with any precision at this point and early estimates place it far higher than 0.7%.

Let’s be neither alarmist nor complacent, but above all get our facts right and avoid spreading misleading information.
Yeah, but it only makes sense to do so on a page that already is using react. If you are using some other JS framework it will add 140kb dep on react+react-dom - which might be a problem (or not depending on your use case).
From what I’m able to summarize:

The reporter was invited to do a piece on them, and while visiting had trouble reconciling their secrecy with their ethos of openness. She was not allowed to interact with the actual researchers where they were doing their work, and her lunch was pushed out of the building so she couldn’t overhear their all-hands meeting. (My take is that their openness extended to the curated fruits of research, but their process itself was guarded from any communication channel they couldn't control i.e. the reporter).

This seems related to the second part, where they discuss the pressures toward profit, from strings attached to corporate investments, which they suggest would be different under traditional long-term gov investments. And they talked about the paradox of adding a for-profit branch to a non-profit org, without resolution.

I’m a bit unsettled recently when listening to podcasts and stories like this that seem to end on a note of “shrug, capitalism, isn’t this an interesting problem?”. I’d be more encouraged to see folks talking about post–game-theoretic social structures that can categorically solve for these issues, that can allow us to transition out of capitalistic dynamics rather than trying to fight them in order to get work done. This seems to be the rallying call of the nebulous ideas behind “game~b”. Wondering if anyone here has been seeing that yet.
Maybe somebody can explain this to me.

Welds are supposed to be tested at the weld level, not at the vehicle level. So what is wrong with their process or QA?

What does any of that have to do with syslog?
Doesn't matter. It's Technology Review, a company that paid MIT for use of its name to get "appeal to authority" credibility for its bad articles.
I think this is a matter of perspective. Nature is stochastic - everything in nature happens for a sensible reason, though we may not ever know it in our lifetime. There’s as much (or as little, if you prefer) mystery in the toaster as the bluejay. Why are there different colored toasters? Why do so many have chrome? Why do humans like chrome and other shiny things? Why do humans make toast at all, when the bread has already been cooked once? Conversely, some boring questions about nature: why does the sun appear to rise and fall? Why is grass green? Every effect has cause, and if you trace it far back enough, you get to “it just worked out that way” no matter where you start, and asking past that is getting into cosmology and religion, aka the realm of pure speculation.
The lesson is diseases happen, and then they go away and we forget all about them. Bird flu, swine flu, SARS, MERS and soon nCoV-19. The number of active cases is approaching half of what it was at peak, and the mortality rate is now close to 0.7% - and largely weak/immunocompromised patients, the same order of magnitude as the normal flu. Further, a few groups claim a vaccine is only a few months away, and it responds to some existing antiviral medications.

As a tiny add-on to this: In America most flour is ground WAY thinner than in the rest of the world. This includes gluten-free flours and means you will (probably) need a bit more flour than the recipe says. Inter-continental baking is an adventure.
the most basic of a test suite should be catching.

A most basic test suite is not likely to wait some arbitrary amount of time (2 seconds, as the author found by trial and error) between calls to the HSM.
huh! i just noticed few hours ago a pi i use has had the wrong date which was set to a day earlier. I quickly determined a faulty ntp server i had hard configured was giving the bogus time. In case it is of interest its address was "144.76.60.190" and was chosen by random chance because i cant resolve names without working time on that machine (don't ask). It appears to be taken offline by now though but i checked its giving the wrong time before changing to another server.

Also, but probably unrelated, my WiFi stopped working exactly 00:00AM CET but that might be unrelated as it does that all the time :)
Watched Vice[0] recently starring Christian Bale as a corpulent power-grabbing[1] vengeful, power-behind-the-throne, Dick Cheney; Amy Adams as his steely missus; Sam Rockwell as a likable "W"; and Steve Carell (of all people) playing Donald "Don" Rumsfeld.

They get to the part post 9/11 where the gloves come off and they sit down with corrupt legal advisers (Alberto Gonzales, David Addington, William Haynes, Jay Bybee and John Yoo), many who are advocates of the Unitary Executive Theory[2], to concoct a legal firewall around their actions. The twisted logic is: The US does not torture therefore the varieties of "enhanced interrogation" being used cannot, ipso facto, be torture.

Alongside "enhanced interrogation techniques" (torture) we have those other Newspeak euphemisms[3] "extraordinary rendition" (state-sponsored kidnapping) and "enemy combatants" (any fighting-age male present in a combat zone).

Then there's the legal limbo that is Guantanamo Bay, the suspension of habeas corpus[4] (a foundational legal right in modern democracies), and the frankly draconian USA PATRIOT Act.

Ah, good times.

In my view the CEO is for major business decisions and company direction. I don't see a single interview with a too-hard question being that. Any large company will be conducting hundreds of interviews with too-hard questions every day. I've seen many blog posts about them on HN.

I see it as mostly ignorance on the part of a single interviewer. Every large company has lots of ignorance. People aren't perfect.

The WHO pins it at 0.7% and falling as understanding thereof and treatment improves [1 - page 12, graph on page 13]. This makes a lot of sense as the earliest numbers were based only on people presenting severe symptoms, and huge quantities of people with nCoV are completely and totally asymptomatic.

As with the flu, mortality is highest in older people, and the immunocompromised.

Thanks for chiming in.

If I understand what you're saying correctly, you're saying that in the case where one would be so sick as to require a ventilator, they'd be in a situation where the ventilator only buys more time before the condition worsens, but doesn't actually address the root cause of the problem. As such, even if someone were to find a hospital-grade ventilator that fell off the back of a truck and managed to properly use it, the non-ventilator care is what makes the difference in outcome, not the ventilator itself.

Is that correct?

This question is a bit hard to answer because programming with RSI just means that your input method is different. Which comes with a whole set of challenges, as your question implicitly recognizes, but I'm not sure that it makes much difference as far as your career moves are concerned.

I guess as a start, a big key is to find a job / company culture that promotes an asynchronous workflow more broadly. That way, you're not being forced to bang out a bunch of code under immediate time pressure, which would make having to use voice software feel frustrating. With async, it matters less if your raw input velocity is slowed down relative to someone without RSI, since there's no _immediate_ pressure.

None of that obviates the need to work hard and produce value, of course.

The original piece itself was flawed. Like many if not most tech companies, reporters or other strangers don’t get unfiltered access to the company. There’s reasons why (unpublished work that may be reported in a bad light).

OpenAI has made huge initiatives in bringing in diversity and really opening their work (deepmind rarely ever does) and I think that profiting in the way they set it up only ensures they can do bigger and better research.

If looking long-term and outside of short-term profits it may not be a terrible business decision, how people govern their company, their platform,

What's happening with Twitter now is simply capitalistic regulatory capture, falling in line with Mark Zuckerberg's lack of ethics all in the name of revenues - which fits Mark's character since the "founding" - fucking over of the twins who hired him to start ConnectU, who he lead on to believe he was working on their platform, when in fact he was working on TheFacebook - knowing and saying there wasn't a need or room for two such platforms; the key to Facebook's initial success was ConnectU twins' idea of limiting people signing up to requiring a university email, so automatically you can connect those people easily and make it like having more or less exclusive clubs.

All of this happening is just war evolved, and honestly the decentralized bad actors are winning at the moment - and why true decentralization (not Bitcoin driven) systems need to coming together faster in case bad actors continue to capture government agencies and systems - and at some point start trying for full control over media like China and Russia have.
