Yes, but the training ends up converting to a license or title if you've completed it properly, and we judge whether or not a person is competent in that field based on whether or not they hold that title or license. For example, when quoting experts they're qualified as,"so-and-so is a board certified X," which is credentialism. But we have belief that the credential required training and knowledge, and that it was accredited by a board/panel of trained experts. But we trust those experts to be adjudicators of expertise because of their credentials. It's turtles all the way down.
The more people that think like that, the more that type of thinking increases. Like panic buying inducing more panic buying. So it might start small, but could easily balloon quite fast.
Yes, but in practice it is rarely the situation where a doctor is making this call on their own. The hierarchy from doctor to senior leadership should be involved in decisions like this because there are many more ramifications than just one patient.

From the doctor's perspective, at minimum this is a cover-your-ass move because they don't want to get blamed for an adverse event. The administration needs to manage the risk too, and find other experts to review the situation. They may also need to manage supplies, or costs. This is really no different from the usual medical bureaucracy in the US.

One item that I'll end with is that approval processes (FDA, EU, etc.) provide no guarantees. There are many drugs that have been approved and then removed from general use based on additional experience, or long-term clinical trials. It's obviously good to do more trials and get approvals, but patients and doctors really want the best possible outcome given the situation.

Super exciting, I've always believed a Rails-like philosophy of convention-over-configuration and the Javascript ideal of perfectly-tailored customization could supplement rather than compete each other. Redwood looks like a big step toward that, and I think it speaks to the overall growth of the Javascript ecosystem as a whole.

I think the counter-argument to "but WASM?!" is that on the Web you still can use text to describe the behavior. WASM is optional. At the same time, if WebGPU picked SPIR-V binary, it wouldn't have a built-in way of programming without dependencies inside a browser.

Yeah, Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan were both pretty good. I haven't necessarily thought of them as significantly overlapping with the HTMA stuff up until this point, but now that you mention it I can see a connection. I should probably go back and re-read both, and read Antifragile.

maybe those Stafford Beer papers about the Viable Systems Model?

Hmm... never heard of "Viable Systems Model" before, so I'll have to go read up on that. Thanks for the pointer.

I'll take a look at Guesstimation. Thanks for the pointer on that as well.

But you'll always be safer if you keep rich qualitative models and treat quantification as gravy on top of that.

I can buy that. I'm a fan of using approaches like Hubbard's to quantify things to a point. I do think his approach can supply a bit of extra rigor and some useful bounds to things that otherwise seem impossible to quantify at all. But it's not a perfect system by any means. The two biggest risks, so far as I can tell, would be leaving a variable (or more than one) out of your model completely, or using the wrong probability distributions for the various variables when doing the simulation part.
This is exactly my thought as well.

That is correct, in theory, but there is a large gap between theory and practice. How practical would it be for, say Three.JS to generate shader bytecode? Would it need to depend on a sophisticated WASM module that allows to build such bytecode? Who is going to build that?

Google has spent a lot of effort trying to answer these questions, and they got close, but in the end the text-based solution prevailed. In part, because it was easy to agree on for all parties.
Not using JAMstack, but I did set up recurring lambda functions and it's dead simple.

My understanding is JAM stack refers to mostly the frontend, being a statically generated site, and talks to server via API, but doesn't dictate anything about your API server or server side jobs, etc. You can still run serverless/lambdas, or actual backend API servers, or whatever else you want to do.

I guess Redwood's model is a little more than JAM stack, since "Rails" for JS would imply it does a lot more than the JAM part, and that's what it looks like on the site.

I'm not sure what you mean - what choice do you have? You're either building a twitter bot, or you aren't and it doesn't matter?

Also this isn't much (if any?) of an API change, it's a policy change. And even then it doesn't look like it should negatively affect you unless you were doing something nefarious already.
I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure they're combined behind the scenes. Fractional shares are really abstractions over an underlying instrument. The broker is the actual owner of the shares, and you have an indirect ownership. Among other things, it leads to a situation where you cannot take part of normal shareholder activites such as voting. The broker still needs to keeps records of the cost basis of each fraction you purchased, of course.

Slightly related: recently wrote a binary encoder/decoder that used bitpacking, delta-encoding, and other well-known 'tricks' to efficiently pack batches of 10k-100k events of the same uniform type (essentially encoding column by column and using similarities to my advantage). Nothing too fancy, but it was A) a huge success in terms of compresison-ratio and B) a hassle to write. Do any, more or less, turn-key solutions exist for this? Specifically targeting Node but a commandline util might work as well.
> For example, it doesn't state that you can't purchase health insurance across state borders - also a fact and also contributes to increased prices.

That is true, and there are many other facts it doesn't mention, it is not an exhaustive review of contributing factors...

> The reason that insurance is "tied" to employment is because only a company can deduct health insurance on their taxes.

That is true but irrelevant extra information, the virus doesn't care...

> Building a new hospital is nearly impossible due to, among many other regulations, being required to get permission from other regional hospitals before building a new hospital. This both increases prices and reduces the number of available beds.

That is true, how is it relevant?

All these facts aren't relevant to the discussion the article is introducing, about how the "US Labor and Healthcare Policies are a Perfect Storm for Pandemics"
Small lesson learned with MessagePack:

We prematurely utilized it and paid the price of "nothing's human readable without first unpacking it" without actually benefiting much given we weren't shipping much data that often."
My guess is GP is suggesting water for disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, or other situations where water supplies will often be compromised. I say that because GP differentiated between pandemics, and natural disasters, and specifically mentioned his/her experience working disasters in the national guard. I believe the distinction being drawn here is that, as far as we know, infrastructure hasn't been compromised by COVID-19
Take a look at FlexBuffers, part of FlatBuffers. FlatBuffers itself is similar to CapnProto and requires a schema, but FlexBuffers is a related schema-less format that uses a bunch of the encoding techniques from FlatBuffers to gain advantages like (I believe) not having to parse unneeded substructures.
my uninformed opinion on this is that there are countless way to suggest the same thing and maybe one will resonate with you. this would become a motivation to offer earnest advice and be prepared that likely you will not be that magic person.

in this sense advices like "just do X" are useless, while advices like the one above are not.

for sure serious depression is very unlikely to be treated that way, but for every case of clinical depression there are many less critical ones.
One of the biggest "problems" with React is that it is such an out-of-your-way ecosystem that teams are able to build their own preferred abstractions whenever they want. In the mindset of many web developers, we're all geniuses who surely can invent the more optimal wheel - whether that's because we work at $BIG_CORP and have the time, or because we work in a start-up like environment with nobody to audit us and tell us we're collectively acting like dumb asses.

I've personally wasted several hundred hours this year implementing custom table logic and design through the react-virtualized-table/react-window libraries. They are great libraries! But it was not a good use of my time customizing it into a perfect incantation/API. I over-engineered how the virtualization tied into our REST API and many of our junior developers couldn't keep up with the increased abstraction.

Let my story be a lesson that you should probably grab hold of a library like this, swallow the fact that you're conforming to someone else's API and concepts, and just get stuff done.

I'll seriously evaluate and likely use this library in future react projects instead of other more involved implementations. Great docs too!

> But none of those reasons matter - the "why" that insurance is tied to employment doesn't matter because it does and affects this situations reality, right now. Apologizing for that "why" doesn't change the situation one iota.

I seem to have not made my positions clear: The site has a political agenda, which is made clear by the quoted section, which includes statements are selected to support the political policy being promoted.

So, the reason the things I stated matter is that we can easily come to different conclusions, and that is likely why they are left off of the site:

Can't sell health insurance across state borders - fix by permitting sales across borders, putting downward pressure on price.

Insurance is tied to employment because of the tax code - fix by either eliminating the deduction or adding the deduction to personal tax code.

Can't build new hospitals because you have to get permission from other regional hospitals - fix by getting rid of the regulation, thus generating increased interest in new hospital development, in turn increasing the number of beds and putting downward pressure on prices.
There definitely have been some comments: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

> In theory nothing prevents you from having a cascade-like approach with deep learning.

Sure, people do that in DL. There are plenty of 'adaptive' or 'anytime' or mixture-of-experts architectures for classification. And lots of things take that cascade approach naturally, like any object detection or localization NN: you make a bunch of proposals and check those rectangles; the more computation you have, the more you can check.

My experience with most beans-qua-beans is that a pre-soak or pressure is needed or they'll still be somewhat chalky even after 90+ minutes at a boil. Lentils and peas don't have this limitation.

> Every reasonable study shows masks being useful. It's why everyone wears them in a medical setting.

What studies? Doctors wear masks to catch droplets from their own mouth and nose. Masks aren't designed to stop viruses, which can enter from the side. They may help if someone sneezes directly in front of you, but that's about it.
If there is an outbreak, you want to avoid going to places like stores - not just for yourself but to minimize your chances of contracting the virus and exposing others. It's the socially responsible thing to do.
Haha. I guess I’m that jerk.

Basically, I saw that this domain was available and saw the increasing talk of “flattening the curve” on Twitter. I grabbed it and wanted to do something helpful, like post just the pic of the tall and flat graph that was making the rounds, because I loved how simple the visual was, and how powerful the point it made. I thought at least people could share the concept easily.

But then someone shared Julie’s post, which was living on a gdoc at the time, and even that was struggling with the amount of readers... and was very much not an easily shareable link.

So I reached out and asked if she’d like to have it live at flattenthecurve.com, and promised to give her a login to update and add more info etc.

She said yes and I got the site live in half a day mostly spent reformatting the gdoc into WP.

I’m thrilled that the domain is really living up to its best use!
> I can't store an entire SQLite database in a single column.

Sure you can, it's just a file. :) sqlite scales down nicely to data sets of just a few kilobytes -- if you're worried about parse time of your documents then I assume they are larger than that.

That said, if you're already loading the whole blob from a single row in Postgres anyway, then is random access such a big win? Or is the idea that you would selectively read byte ranges out of Postgres? If you're already pulling the bytes into RAM then avoiding the parse isn't that huge of a win.

(I say this as the author of Cap'n Proto which is all about zero-copy random access... it's only a big win in certain use cases, like mmap() or shared memory IPC.)
