Agh, you are correct. Just put up a disclaimer whenever people try to use the tool in Safari. Thanks for the heads up!
I lost my sense of smell when I took a zinc tablet to prevent covid-19 (serious but funny). Maybe I shouldn't have dissolved it in my throat (as was suggested). Zinc is really bitter! My sense of taste is off too - nothing tastes good.

Thanks to this thread, I won't know whether my diminished smell is from the zinc tablet or I've contracted Covid-19!

Time will tell, maybe.
Real people lost a lot of real money. Bear in mind most of the wealth of most well off people is held in shares. It's just not possible that all shareholders all sold before the crash. A lot of people lost a lot of money.

The problem is not so much that some rich people are now somewhat less rich. Boo hoo. Let's rephrase that another way though.

A lot of people that previously had the wealth and assets to invest in new businesses, grow existing businesses, create jobs and fund the development of new technology now don't. These are the primary ways wealth is actually used, and now there is less of it around to do those things. So a lot less of those things are going to happen now. If you either work for a company that pays you, or have customers that buy your stuff, this is a bad thing to happen. Companies will have less to pay you with, and customers will have less money to buy stuff with because the same applies to them too.

I am building an end-to-end text-to-video product that converts text/blog news into TV-like news using multiple AI techs including GANs, Transformers, variational autoencoders, motion graphics, kubernetes, among other techs.

It has taken me some months, but I have CI/CD in place, some traction in twitter, and subscribed users on our home page.

I have bootstrapped the product so far. I'm the solo dev, designer, and creator.

Soon I will have a big upgrade to the AI anchor.

I have been building learnawesome.org for past few months as an open-source, hobby project. The idea is to organize high-quality, multi-media learning resources across topics and formats, so that searches like this become possible:

Show me videos about machine learning which are no more than 30 minutes long, are entertaining and are recommended by academics.
I am working on a Firefox extension for search aggregation. It currently works with DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, Stack Overflow, Reddit, and others. The idea is that for 80% of my searches I can find the answer on Wikipedia or Stack Overflow, removing the need for a general search engine such as DuckDuckGo or Google, and thus hopefully avoiding blogspam and tracking to some extent. Extraction works through XPath, and I am trying to make it easier to add new engines without looking at the HTML.

Unfortunately, it currently looks terrible, and so far has received one 1-star review, which is not doing much to help my motivation.

It's on the Firefox add-on store (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/metasearch). I plan to add the code on Github once I refactor it some more and add support for Chrome.

It can certainly be completed without spoilers, but it requires a bit of trial and error. I managed to ascend after 2-3 months of intense play...and a lot of dying. I think part of the joy of playing nethack is discovering how things work, so highly recommend not to read any spoilers. The best way to learn the mechanics is to install the game locally and play in explore mode. The game offers a lot of alternate ways to do stuff (because of conducts), but if you don't care about conducts characters tend to become a bit too powerful towards the end game. It's all a matter of surviving the early game, where you don't have resistances, skills etc. and where most people give up.

This applies to the entire GUI tbh - that flat look is great for some things but there are plenty of places in a DAW where you need some kind of highlighting/shadowing to make small detail standout.
The masks can be counterproductive if used without discipline or training. It's not uncommon to see people adjusting their masks and scratching underneath them constantly. The masks are transformed into virus concentrators and rebreathers.

You need a goal which is a tangible end product. Everything else derives from that core requirement. E.g. write a multithreaded chat program with a separate remote backend.
This information is crucial, we need to know who to isolate in the long term.

We need to discard the destructive idea that isolating some subpopulation is a viable strategy in this epidemic. There's no place to isolate people but their homes, essentially. You either isolate everyone or you're going effectively no one.

In contrast to that, if everybody above 70 somehow died immediately, it would be a major relief, economically speaking.

Yeah, these are the deluded and despicable ideas going around. No, the economic cost of dealing with the massive death of any group would be huge.
> The FDA has moved mountains... be put in use IMMEDIATELY

The FDA didn't really have to do anything. Doctors could prescribe it for off-label use already.
Give these people, grocery store workers, sewers .. all the low end workers who we need more then ever at least $30 US dollars an hour. As well in other countries do a similar match!
Yeah you’re right, animations are not needed. Nor is a gui. Just give people a keyboard and a terminal window, that’s all you really need. No fuss no muss. Imagine how much time people will save once they master the VIM key bindings. Much more efficient am i right?
It gave me quite some room to work on a new website I've been working on: https://space-search.io

I call it a search engine for space objects. It's a personal initiative with the aim to do something meaningful around space situational awareness and space debris.

The tool aggregates datasets around objects tracked in space and then makes it searchable and visualised with webgl / react overlays.

It's a good learning experience to work on (relatively) high performance web apps with high fps requirements for the webgl interactions while using webworkers for all the heavy lifting around filtering data and interpolating orbit trajectories.

You shouldn't be getting it. It's prescribed in most 1st world countries.

It should not be used as a prophylactic at this time.

Its use should be prescribed and monitored by a doctor.
I think ETG is technically a "roguelite", but yes, it's a wonderful entry. Binding of Isaac is another, but it's so dark and disturbing that it puts many people off - which is a bit of a shame, because mechanically, it's spectacular. Dead Cells, Nuclear Throne, Crypt of the Necrodancer (and its sister game, Cadence of Hyrule), Risk of Rain, and Wizard of Legend are some of my recent similar favorites, too.

Slay the Spire is often also called a roguelike, and if it gets its teeth into you, watch out. Steam says I have 350 hours logged in it and I still enjoy the heck out of it.
Depending on how much 'project' we're leaning, this misses the rather large pool of funds that is SBIR. Not easy, or fast, but can put some oomph behind a project.

It's hepatoxic and stays in your system for months. I believe side effects can include permanent blindness and psychosis.

As far as I can see, many people underestimate that ventilators are just one necessary tool of many in intensive care.
Sure, you can whip up a proof-of-concept prototype using a bag-valve mask, a stepper motor, and an Arduino.
However, most COVID-19 patients will be multimorbid and require lots of attention.
As multiple healthcare experts have mentioned so far, the real bottleneck are highly-qualified intensive care doctors and nurses.

Do you really want to give these people a new ventilator with which they are not familiar, which may lack features they need, and which might break down or malfunction in an unfortunate moment?

Maybe there is a place for such simple ventilators outside intensive care, e.g., as support for people who are able to breathe on their own and do not necessarily require mechanical ventilation, AND who are in a place without nasal O2 supply?
Even if true (I don't really believe it), very temporary.

The article I cited suggests 200 million doses are on their way.
I seem to have Coronavirus (UK are not really testing) so can't do too much before getting tired.

Project one: Our company has moved as many people as possible to work from home. I have spent most of the week on MS Teams and Teamviewer getting people ready, installing softphones, showing them how to use VPNs etc.

For myself we have had some OK weather, so I have been playing with my bonsai trees. Mostly I have been taking trees that were supposed to be growing on, and instead losing patience and cutting bits off them. I'm finding it a very peaceful diversion.

If the weather turns bad I think I might make some model planes (plastic kits). Somehow I don't have the patience for computers in my free time atm.

You probably spend less than a few percent of your driving time navigating a touchscreen. And most of the time drivers will allot those tasks to reduced risk moments such as when stationary at a traffic light.

When you’re drunk, you’re drunk every second of the journey. You’re drunk at every intersection, you’re drunk at every pedestrian crossing, you’re drunk every meter of motorway.

They’re not comparable.
That's true of any data-structure though.
So... Maybe Ask HN next month, would you?...
RetroArch 1.8.5 Released
Love your app. It’s the best diagraming tool I’ve found. It’s just so natural and quick!! Well done.
I'm working on my meme making app, Meta Meme https://metameme.app/. It's a meme maker i've had out for a couple years, started as a side project, now generates mid four figures in revenue monthly, recurring. Also just released Token, a new dating app, match making for misfits. https://tokendating.app
looks like the 8 layers are sewn to the single layer. Or possibly the innermost is sewn to the outermost and the other 7 layers are put in the resulting pocket.
There was definitely a lot of press early on basically saying masks (and latex gloves) don't work.

Generally they were clickbaity articles with headlines stating exactly that, but content stating the more reasonable idea that masks/gloves don't work (and may in fact cause more problems than they solve) if you don't use them correctly.

eg. someone buys a mask, keeps using the same mask day after day while handling the mask in way that may make the inside of it a contaminated surface, etc.
I fear people are starting to raid cornershops, also. The one two streets from me had a note last night that it was selling toilet paper, hand wash, kitchen towels etc, but it was all gone and they were promising to restock soon.
Mostly just a toy to learn some AWS/Serverless and security stuff, but a tool similar to burp collaborator for dns / http canaries tied into a slack bot. Essentially request a new canary url, you get back a unique endpoint such as 123456789abcd.detect.domain.com, and any time there is a DNS request or http request of any kind to that canary url it sends a message to a slack bot with relevant info, and includes some geoip data and a static map image of IP locations (via mapbox static image api). Considering doing my own plugin for mitmproxy (similar to burp collaborator everywhere) that can be useful in looking for ssrf vulnerabilities. A couple tools out there that do this, kind of just wanted to build one myself for the learning experience.
Article is paywalled for me. Will they take a ventilator off and away from say an 80 year old and give it to a 30 year old? In other words will they take ventilators away or will they leave them until a person recovers or dies?

To me it seems to be more so that Apple designs for Intels listed TDP and that’s it. The CPUs in the MBA are 9/10w and that is what it can handle sustained and staying slightly above base clock so not technically thermal throttling. Most of the time iirc Intel doesn’t list per core boost only the highest possible boost.

So for example the CPU is rated at 1.1ghz base and up to 3.5ghz boost. In the thermal throttling video we see it hold steady at ~10w and ~1.5ghz sustained. As far as Intel/Apple is concerned this isn’t thermal throttling because it is still higher than the base clock. Previously they would list all core boost clock and I think if it fell below that it would technically be thermal throttling
I "watch" it on Github and it still gets updated. If notice out-of-date things you should open an issue or a pull-request.

Yes, it's silly to be gate keeping like this, with some purist fantasy. If OP friend like to role play as a engineer from 1981, that is cool. But he has to realize that that is not everybody's goal.
China is not going to wait five years to roll out a vaccine, or sell it internationally.
Thanks for that - I watched the whole thing, and found it useful. I wasn't talking about depriving health workers of 'proper' masks, more that I've heard argument that simple cotton masks could work to stop the spread of the disease - particularly as people may not know they are contagious before developing symptoms, and it would be a fairly low-cost step to take.

I get that it takes discipline to ensure that a proper mask works well as part of a number of pieces of PPE to stop the wearer getting infected, but I was thinking as much of it protecting others as the wearer.

FDA approves point-of-care coronavirus detection test
I have the exact same issue on my 16". So much so that I've started preferring using my much smaller iPad as the second screen using the sidecar feature instead of my main 4k monitor.

Although I love everything else about the MBP 16, this issue drives me crazy.
We don't have enough biochemical reagents and kits to scale up the test. That's why you need the private companies to come online. Testing capacity should increase in the next 2 weeks though so maybe then they will get the economy moving again. Jack Ma is personally sending over 500k test kits but I am not sure if they are FDA approved etc... or when they will arrive.
I've been working on a lowish code development platform that provides a standards based approach, and doesn't preclude the inclusion of third party systems or self developed applications.

It seems to be going well, I should be able to release a first version soon.
This is dumb. Loss of sense of smell (and changes in the perception of taste) is also a "marker" for cold, flu, and _allergy_. Allergy season is ramping up as we speak.

Case in point: I had this a week ago. I'm pretty sure I don't have COVID19 though, even though I'm in Wuhan, WA.
It's nothing yet, but I'm trying to hack on ProseMirror(1) and make an easy way to make quizzes (think EdX, or something - cloze, multiple choice, drop-down, etc) that can then be embedded in a page (e.g. export HTML, paste in Ghost CMS).

It needs to be usable by regular people like my teacher.

Learned about ProseMirror here in the thread on Edtr.io. It's very 'lego-y' and I think it'll work well, but the complexity is off-putting.

The skills you need to run Linux on the laptop aren’t particularly close to what you’d need to run Linux as a server, IMO, particularly Linux as a VM.

It's been out for about 1.2 years now and we're really starting to nail some important features.

JUST about to post a new release now.

COVID19 is having us pivot a bit in that we're going to experiment with collaborative group reading in the hopes that students can work more efficiently with their colleagues without having to leave home.

The core idea is to have a fully-integrated reading platform sort of like an integrated development environment but for non-fiction material (textbooks, research papers, documentation, plus web content).

Right now we support PDF and web content but are actively working on EPUB and improved reading of web content.

The key functionality is built around annotating your documents and taking notes and building flashcards so you can maintain a personal knowledge repository.

It's also Open Source and supports cloud sync. We have a mobile webapp now and working on porting it over to Android soon.
Asymptomatic transmission is the key here. It's why "stay home if you're sick" or denying entry to detectably sick people isn't enough.

Making a generative strength to weight optimizer for 3D printed objects. It's been something I've wanted to try for a while and has been an excellent experience in learning about FEM and mesh generation.

There's been some work on it in the past, but mostly papers or paid apps. I wanted to make something open source and free.
I'm working on an open source chat bot for Helm. https://github.com/larderdev/kubewise

It posts a message in your team chat when someone installs, upgrades or uninstalls a Helm chart from your Kubernetes cluster.

It's the first code I've written in a long time and I'm really enjoying it.
This is what I've heard from my friends living in Japan – people are sick, but the government is refusing to test them because they want to keep the numbers down so the Olympics don't get cancelled.

But other threads further up pointed out that even with massive under-testing, it should be hard to cover up a COVID-19 outbreak if it spread exponentially as expected – there would be reports of hospitals being overloaded and having to turn away people with severe symptoms, so maybe something else is going on.
