I have no idea if the GenViro test is real/functional, but it does not claim to be a serological test. Nor is it PCR. It claims to harvest monoclonal antibodies from rats challenged with the virus, and then attaches those antibodies to the surface of an electrode in such a way that when the antibodies bind to the virus they change the electrical properties of the electrode.
He mentions it in the article.
Ask HN: Online Resources/Courses to Learn AR
Hi, I am looking to use the lockdown to learn AR and maybe develop some project.
What are some online resources to get started?
Thanks.
Which is also a hard thing to do on small teams.

I think for small teams this is a near impossible task. For big corporations it should be doable and expected. They actually have some leverage to push the other big companies to track less. Something a small company simply can't do.
It's a good question. Probably would also need the automotive parts suppliers to change to ventilator parts. And their sub-suppliers etc.
Controlling quality would take time.

It would be hard to make reliable properly working machines fast. Faulty ones would kill patients.

> Then you'd just repeat the Perl 5/Raku split. You'd have a "new" C++ that isn't actually C++ but it's called C++ with a different version number and people will then bicker for a few years until they realize that the "new" C++ isn't actually C++ and that the "old" C++ just vehemently refuses to die, so they name it something else.

Well, just FYI the "new" C++ is not the "old" C++ anymore. Languages "evolve". Try to compile an old program on the new compiler. The same is valid for other languages (C, fortran, perl).

> The C++ standards committee can standardize a backwards-incompatible "new" C++ for all I care as long as they don't call it C++.

They already do this. For C for example you have C89, C93, etc.

I think your demo would be a lot more enticing if you fix the captioning. It flows poorly, omits critical words, and has spelling and word choice errors.
Hmm, that's weird. I had stress-tested the color options as much as I could. Even now, when I enter gibberish in the text field, it just doesn't do anything as the CSS is invalid. No reason the app should crash.

But anyway, I'll try to add some validation across the app so that this doesn't happen again. For now, to fix any issues at all, you only need to clear your local storage of the site. Here's how you can clear Local Storage on Chrome (https://www.leadshook.com/help/how-to-clear-local-storage-in...), similar steps for other browsers too.

Please let me know if that resolved the issue temporarily for you.

Generally it's antibody tests that detect past infection rather than PCR tests. Technically you can find bits of viral RNA in the throat after all the live viruses are dead so you have a chance of getting a positive PCR right after a person has recovered but I don't think that's what you mean.
That's actually a pretty great attempt. I have a lot to learn from your application as well. There are quite a lot of sections that I have omitted, which might be helpful for others.

Applied Reverse Engineering: Accelerated Assembly [P1] – Reverse Engineering
cool extension but literally every other use of the term visual debugger refers to a graphical interface for something like gdb (where you have to manually type in commands to set break points, step, continue, etc). so I don't think it makes sense to claim that this is not a visual debugger simply because you've decided to redefine the term to suit your needs (publicizing your extension).
Based on my very little knowledge, I don't think so. But I think it's easy to pair it with a conventional serological antibody tests that can detect past infection. I am very far from an expert.
I used UDF on USB media for years, and only past tense because I don't have much need of passing files between systems on physical media anymore. Iirc, there were some sharp edges, but it was an overall refreshing experience compared to dealing with FAT or dealing with any other experience. I would recommend UDF based on my own experience.

I guess that factories have workers, space, skills, and networks of suppliers. And maybe a few machines that can produce parts by design (injection molds, 3d printers). That's it: they're not going to set up automated production lines for ventilators instead of cars or washing machines.

Scientific community MUST rally to expose likely leak from a Wuhan lab
First, to any new to the topic:

1. According to "W.H.O/china joint mission final report", "Alignment of the full-length genome sequence of the
COVID-19 virus and other available genomes of Betacoronavirus showed the closest
relationship was with the bat SARS-like coronavirus strain BatCov RaTG13, identity 96%"

2. That genome sequence happens to be a genome sequence submitted to NCBI by "Wuhan Institute of Virology", a lab located about 14km walking distance from the supposed epicenter of a global epidemic!!!

Here is the link to that report (that china was apparently involved with the W.H.O. in making):
https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/who-china-joint-mission-on-covid-19-final-report.pdf

And here is the BatCov RaTG13" sequence with that lab's name on it:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/MN996532

NOTE: BOTH of those documents are basically data from chinese sources, NOT any third party, aside from W.H.O. (and NCBI hosting a document submitted by the chinese lab).

OBVIOUSLY the chinese government hasn't seemed so forthcoming about that lab and has seemingly been trying desperately to push it under the proverbial rug so most of the human species won't know where covid19 leaked from.

Some in the scientific community (Ebright at Rutgers, for instance) have started to expose the safety concerns of wuhan labs and MORE SHOULD BE DOING SO!!! Calling on the scientific community to rally to motivate transparency and also IMPORTANTLY to force the bio-research community to put the safety of the World above bio-research funding of such labs!!!

Thanks in advance to all that do!!!
Huh? Old programs on new compiler work with very minor changes and often with no changes at all. You might have to tweak some compiler flags, but this is per file. Your project can easily mix up C++ versions.

Same for C - that old library in C89? Still usable in modern projects.

no that is per semester not per year.. so, double that.
All the time:

1. While you are in the middle of writing your file the first time.

2. When your IDE/editor doesn't see all the includes/imports

3. In languages where syntactic validity depends on semantics, beyond merely known and unknown identifiers.

4. When you make a syntax errors. Which is all the time, basically, until you've gotten your program or library to compile.

5. When you choose to format just a small segment of code, not the whole file.
This is a great app! But it is so weird seeing photos on a CV. In the UK it is almost totally unheard of. And most large organisations will have an HR department which would blank them out.

Your CV is for judging your work history and experience. What can I learn from a photo that I would legally be able to take a decision about?
Sensor size is important because sensor sites are too damn small.

Lightfield or similar trickery with maybe 20 regular cameras together with software assemble a larger sensor, could work.
> lots of people expect SpaceX to make a killing on Starlink

What lots of people expect is kind of irrelevant... OneWeb going bankrupt suggests that profit margins will be low at best, negative at worst. Cheaper launch cost is not enough to change the business from to non-viable to hugely profitable.

Who will be the customers of Starlink? Internet is a commodity for the average person, you can't make money in that market. This leaves special cases such as abandoned areas, airlines, ships, but that market is much smaller and it's unclear whether it can feed the massive capital costs of Starlink: launches, satellites, ground stations.

Edit: Providing service to ships in the ocean could be a problem, because of the lack of ground stations.

Agreed. My favorite quote:

“ It shows that common sense is more important than we all thought. This situation is so new and complicated that the problems can only be solved by people who carefully weigh their decisions. Artificial intelligence, which everyone has been talking so much about recently, isn't much help at the moment.”

Depends on how you define "best". Sigma has improved a lot in recent years and is generally great value, but Zeiss / Leica / Schneider / etc. are arguably still superior (at much higher prices).

I'll take this opportunity to get jupyter advice: one thing I don't understand about jupyter vs jupyterlab is why notebooks in jupyter classic have functioning vim bindings (ie in cells) through the codemirror extension but jupyterlab notebooks do not. in jupyterlab you can have vim bindings in the text editing view but not in the notebook view. for the life of me I cannot understand this design decision. how hard can it be to just leave whatever thing that makes it work in jupyter classic alone so that it continues to work in jupyterlab.
I didn't expect that I'll have to explain how does internet work, but ok.

When you ask curl to download "git.io/getnami", first thing it does is to ask DNS server: "Hey, what IP does git.io refer to?" And DNS server will send you the IP address. MitM attack can happen at this point, and you will get fraudulent IP address. Usually you will get correct one. Then you connect to the IP address. MitM attack can happen here as well, you think you connected to server with the IP, but some node along the way is actually lying to you and you are in fact connecting somewhere else. At this point when using https, webserver to which you connected would prove to you that it is indeed "git.io" and your communication would become encrypted. Only after that would the webserver 301 redirected you somewhere else. But because you chose to not use https, user might have connected somewhere else and could have downloaded completely different, malicious file.

Next time you accuse other people of being ignorant and rude, make sure it's not you who is in the wrong.
Sigma improved a lot, apprently they developed proprietary testing equipment involving their Foveon sensors.
Many countries already require you to provide an address when entering (for visa-free visits) or when applying for a visa. This is not a new phenomenon.

We will probably see a cursory medical test at borders. This will become more complex over time as the technology develops.

Cities (and tax-paying hosts) make a ton of tax revenue from AirBnb, much of which wouldn’t otherwise exist. I don’t expect any total shutdowns.
It means the EPS business is healthy enough to sail on its own. It may also means easier partnerships with entities that wouldn’t have stuck with Sony as a whole, in particular in these times where serious competitors are emerging.

Photographs on a Resume, I've heard is a standard in the EU. That's what I was told when I was applying to Jobs in Germany. And it's pretty common here in India as well.

But I completely understand where you are coming from. Photos can cause bias in the hiring process and it's certainly debatable. That's why I've provided the option to either add an image or not have one, and designed the templates especially to fit both use cases.

Thanks for that last link, a problem I had with WSL now makes sense to me.
I’ve wondered about this for a little while. Why does Germany have five times as many ICU beds than England? Until now, I’ve never heard a suggestion that England had fewer ICU beds than it needed generally, and assuming England and Germany use beds at the same general capacity, why on earth is Germany running five times more beds that it generally needs? (please don’t answer “for a case like this” unless you have some hard evidence)
I thought that was deer.

Ten Deep Learning Jokes for AI Enthusiasts
I think that is me. I was never at a doctor but I had a crazy increased heart rate, extreme fatigue, could not sit or stand up for long, it was more feeling I think, I not forced it but I had a super strong urge to lay down as my heart went event faster. I puked a lot, until there was nothing to puke and drinking water made me puke it out again. Slept about 15h and after that I recovered pretty fast. Beat it in about 2 days by basically doing nothing but laying down and sleeping. I guess it was corona.

I never took my temp, but I not how fever feels like, I not had any or very mild. Not had any other more common symptoms I read about.
Cadence DDR5 Update: Launching at 4800 MT/S, over 12 DDR5 SoCs in Development
Squandered means there was a better, evident option at the time. I have not yet been able to find a satisfactory answer to the question of what the companies should have done rather than buybacks, especially to mitigate the effects of a literal shutdown of basically entire lines of business resulting in no income.

The businesses in years past made money, invested some of it, spent some on R&D, and distributed some to shareholders (via buybacks). What other option was there?
Wow, I did not know about this one. And it's pretty amazing, both design-wise and functionality-wise. Kinda makes mine seem pretty boring :D

No. Manufacturing is about process engineering. Knowing the physical components is only 20% of the work.
Not a scientific study.
Dishtowel is pretty non-specific. If it was, for example, terrycloth, like a bath towel...I can see some surface area, and standoff advantages. I've seen dish towels made from many very different types of cloth though.
"(or more likely one of their suppliers)"

I don't think I was assuming that ... but your point is valid. Certain car parts have indeed been the same for a long period of time. You'd certainly want to avoid the suppliers that are resistant to change or that have historically taken many iterations to get to the point where they can produce 10s and 100s of millions consistently. There are however manufacturers that specialize in smaller runs and more precision (two within 20 minutes of where I type this which is NOT considered a traditional manufacturing area). I'd be willing to bet those managing the supply chain for the car companies know exactly which type of company is which (where do their engineering departments have short-run prototypes made?)
In general having a drug regulatory agency is a good thing, I'd certainly agree. But the FDA is known for being excessively paranoid compared to similar bodies in other countries. So we didn't have UVA sun screen until long after Europe did, basically only have Epi-Pens which are subject to price jacks when Europe has 12 competing brands, got beta-blocking drugs a decade after Europe, etc. Though in fairness we also managed to avoid thalidomide so that's a point in the FDA's favor.

It's too early to speculate about profit margins before the company has finished launching its constellation and started providing a commercial service.
The first program I ever wrote as a professional in the early 80's was a Jovial (before Ada what the Air Force used) prettyprinter written in Fortran.

As I understood it, a lot of countries have dismantled part of their hospital and healthcare infrastructure in the past 20 years (mostly to save money). Some countries have gone further than others in that pursuit. In Germany some of those measures have been decided, but not implemented yet.

There's some definitional problems as well.

Consider that in the last few weeks the NHS doubled its ICU capacity. The term "ICU bed" conjures up images of something surrounded by über-complex equipment but it can mean other things, which is why it seems able to flex so fast.

- It might allow deployment of the same levels of QA and QC with impact in the final product

That doesn't surprise me culturally. I lived in Germany for a couple of years, and the deference to "rules that matter" was completely different than my US experience. Even for trivial stuff like waiting in line/queues. The Germans were much more literal in following the rules, versus my US and UK peers.
