Not heard it called this, was aware of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_heart#Broken_heart_synd...

I do recall reading few articles that support it as an actual condition and makes logical sense that for some that will be a factor - lost loved one in same family, increases the odds of catching the virus and also a broken heart. Truly a tradgerday on many levels. Also mindful that the impact of this pandemic will see many indirect deaths in the years to come and the scale of things won't be measured in people who died and tested positive, but how the rest live.
A (distant) friend shared he lost his wife to hearth attack a couple of weeks ago out of the blue. I figure(d) it was random.
Probably not for even another month. Because it will stop working, for practical reasons. People will have to go back to work, or be evicted. Go out for necessities, shopping around to find any, increasing their exposure instead of decreasing it. Go job interviewing. All sorts of fallout, which actually increases travel and potential infection, instead of reducing it.

Its easy for us middle-class folks to say "Just stay at home and eat cake!" This whole lockdown thing is divided on class lines. Just look in the window at the McD's drive-thru. Those folks don't have the luxury of staying home.

Sony made several portable gaming devices (PSP, PS vita, PSN compatible phone).

The market didn’t really care for them.

Which makes sense. People already have a phone, they don’t want an additional thing to carry around. People want a flagship phone, not a worse phone that’s more expensive because it can play some exclusive games.

The Nintendo switch was the right form factor, but only Nintendo has the IP to pull it off. If MS or Sony were to make a Switch-like, it’d fail much like the nvidia shield has.

Good question! Since you have already corrected one of my mistakes, I don't want to start off by disagreeing lol

In my head, this is just a silly word problem, the purpose of which is to show the mathematical theory of computation requires a new axiom

Here is a map which describes my idea:

Party with infinite number of mathematicians --> theory of computation

a mathematician --> Turing Machine

getting a new piece of paper --> a new axiom that gives Turing Machines a new self-replication feature

According to this new theory of computation which I am trying to invent, and which I have named The Theory of Self Reproducing Machines, it would not be an issue that "because the number of new people you can reach within a minute goes from quadratic towards linear"

As a counter example to your idea: consider twitter and the abstract concept of a social network graph where it's quite possible to send messages instantly for all practical purposes

Disclaimer: I’m not a medical professional.

My understanding is that myocarditis is a possible, albeit rare, complication of many viral illnesses?

Additionally, respiratory failure causes a massive strain on the heart, so it’s not hugely surprising that many patients would have heart complications.

It would be interesting to know how many patients without respiratory distress develop these cardiac symptoms.
The Tesla prototype seems much closer to a medical ventilator than most of the overly simplified models shown in that video. Working Medtronic is likely a large advantage here.

Adjusting air temperature and humidity seems like the biggest missing piece.
Interesting (possible) additional piece of the puzzle on the industry:

As opposed to the explosion of CV training data, big players may find themselves thinking they can't expose the tagged raw data for audio the same way that tagged raw data for images was exposed to the public. The privacy backlash on the way some previous public-release datasets have been used was notable.

Has the ecosystem changed so the kind of mass-collaboration that led to ImageNet can't be repeated due to privacy concerns of how the audio could be (ab)used?
That's already well understood.

People are counted in the stats produced by hospitals if they have the virus, not if they've been hospitalised because of the virus. Literally if someone breaks their arm and they're tested positive, that goes into the stats for "COVID-19 cases". This is also true if someone dies of anything whilst having the virus; they're recorded as a "COVID-19 death".

The statistics here don't tell us what they sound like they're telling us. We'd see exactly the same pattern if the rules were suddenly changed to require every hospital admission to be tested for the common cold in a regular year - the number of "cases" and "deaths" would increase dramatically every day.

People under 50 don't spend much time in ITUs on ventilators

That statement is far too vague. People of all ages spend time on ventilators every years, especially during a flu outbreak. This is especially true of young children (under 5) whom COVID-19 doesn't affect at all! And COVID-19 is known to affect very few under 50s; the numbers here are so tiny the media can literally write entire stories about individual cases.

So what does "people" and "much time" mean in this sentence?

You can see some data on deaths from pneumonia by age group here:

https://ourworldindata.org/pneumonia#pneumonia-mortality-rat...

Of course deaths isn't the same thing as hospitalisation as the young are more likely to recover than the old. So this data isn't exactly what you're talking about, but it's at least quantifiable.

It's not safe to make a claim about this virus without comparing it to known values from prior years or outbreaks, when comparing the same thing. Every single number we're being presented with is presented without context and it leads to catastrophic mistakes of understanding. Number of positive test increases is shown without the number of negative test increases as well (i.e. an exponential increase in testing looks like an exponential increase in cases), deaths are counted without any investigation to decide what caused that death and so on.

It's very easy to get a totally misleading impression of what's going on. This is likely why in so many parts of the world hospitals are now reporting themselves as empty for weeks, despite the supposed "exponential growth" that should have overwhelmed them by now. In fact in Switzerland hospitals are needing to apply for emergency funding because the huge drop in patient numbers has caused their revenue to dry up.
Introducing the Work Hub
In theory, yes.

But I have almost never seen a business ACTUALLY do that, and have watched decades of management consultants actively advising AGAINST that type of management.

Aside from the general issue of offshoring the production capacity and know-how (as if it were somehow fungible & low value), the JIT (Just In Time) inventory movement has also taken over the entire industry. So, instead of maintaining stockpiles of input materials with associated costs of storage space and idle capital, they spend costs to manage networks to try to ensure that it arrives "Just In Time". Great while it works, and if done properly, it can be robust to handle single supplier disasters. But, the more rare broad events like this kill everything.

The MBAs might even argue that paying 10x to ensure availability isn't even economical, as the events requiring you to pay 100x don't add up to the total 10x cost.

But the real issue is that no business is managed to handle the tail risk (the rare, low-likelihood events with disastrous consequenses).

Any business that does manage for tail risk -especially at the level that a govt should manage for tail risk- will be outperformed by any biz that manages for normal circumstances. They will likely fail.

Consider trying to setup a for-profit local fire department. You are paying $$millions for equipment and must pay skilled workers to sit around and polish the equipment almost every day. The customers and other regulators are actively working to ensure that you are never needed. When a fire does happen, and you show up and demand payment or ccard (assuming the homeowner is even present and not inside the fire), most of the time they can't pay, so you have no sale. Your fire department would go bankrupt quickly.

The only solution would be for everyone in the coverage area to pay into a fund supporting your company, and get service whenever they need it. You'd need to make sure that EVERYONE paid in and there were no freeloaders. Congratulations - you've just invented government, not a business.
Are there certification requirements for newly designed ventilators? If so, how long would that take?
Most of the advice you're getting here is to monetize it, find what inspires, you, etc.

While well intentioned, that advice has been incorrect for me at least. What has worked has been to work on small, fast side projects. If you can only work on a project for two days, then pick projects you can finish in two days. Cut scope aggressively.

Frankly, my most successful projects are the ones that have been amonst the easiest.
How often do zoom bombs occur. Once every million calls?
Yes, small businesses will be hit hard and many will evaporate. But we’ll see lots of regrowth afterwards if landlords lower the rents, which should make sense if they don’t want to keep their properties vacant.

That paper uses computer models of protein interactions not actual ethyrocyte on vero 6 cultured COVID experiment. It's an interesting line of investigation but I want to see more in vitro and ideally in vivo findings supporting that before I believe it.

>I wonder if there are any heart attacks occurring in otherwise asymptomatic people and not being marked down as Covid-19 related.

Possible but also important to keep in mind that heart damage does not necessarily translate into an immediate heart attack. It can lead to reduced heart function and a host of other heart-related problems that may not manifest in the form of a fatality for years (if ever). The same goes for the reported lung damage that many Covid-19 victims apparently suffer.
> we clearly saw this coming in 2019

The overwhelming majority of people, the common person on the street, did not see it coming.

A week or two before my state got locked down I was at a meeting and for Other Business I said we need to establish how to hold next week's meeting online. Everyone there looked down at their hands, clearly thinking they were in the presence of a nut. Finally someone said, in the tone you talk to your drunk uncle at Thanksgiving who is a Fox News nut, "Well if a lockdown would ever happen we can email about it then."

A fully validated ventilator is ideal, but if your other option is death, a ventilator that is "less than fully validated" might be preferable.

Thanks, and yes you found the exploit :)

The bot tries to play Game Theory Optimal, so it doesn't really care about the opponent's strategy. That's why no matter how often you go all-in, it won't change its strategy.

In theory, playing GTO will guarantee that you won't be beat. However, there are holes in this bot's strategy (to reduce computation). So when you find these holes, you can exploit the bot.

That said, if you play "normally" (don't go all-in on the first action), the bot should be pretty competitive.

Interesting. I was focusing on the "home poker" use case. I'll think about it more. Thanks!
I think its more of "Think of the children" argument cropping up. IIRC there was a few high profile naked people (primarily men) doing obscene things. And there was at least 1 porno track being played. Of course, it was all during k-12 zoom.

There is no such thing as Chromium, it is just a Chrome-lite. Nobody took Chromium and made a separate browser with a separate code from what Google pushes in the trunk. All others do is just add or remove whatever Google allows them, while accepting all serious commits coming down from Chrome. Webkit on the other hand had produced truly different engines - Chromium and Safari, developed differently and making different decisions. If Mozilla with switch to Chrome engine it will be yet another Chrome with mods.

btw, I think you're missing an important qualification, which is that a given formalism can always be enriched with new axioms to increase the scope of what it's able to prove. This is relevant for type theoretic approaches, which generally have a mechanism for adding new axioms.
It's not sheltering in place, it's sheltering somewhere else. That's the entire difference. And since this is a group responsibility, that we as a society all must bear, it is civically irresponsible to not shelter in place.

What's the biggest challenge in putting AI into production?
As a developer I wanted to deploy deep learning model on the website in order to show my results and allow others to try the solution. Unfortunately, it happened that it was not an easy task and required me to get specific knowledge on the subject and tools to do it. I started investigating the topic of AI model deployment and it occurs that it's quite tricky process.

I thought that maybe there is a chance to simplify that process, maybe automating even a small part of it (like model upload with one click, or automatic resource management).

What’s your opinion or experience about it? Glad to hear some feedback.
I've written a userscript[0] before regarding official websites and I feel this is the hierarchy you should be using:

2. Then any link inside of a {{url}} template or |website= in an infobox

3. And if you really want to try to get something to resolve to, the first site wrapped in {{official website}}

The early claim of "1 in 5 people" is a lie. Further along they clarify that it is 1 in 5 people who are hospitalized. And they say about half die. Put this together with the real world mortality statistics, and it makes me want to see some rigorous peer review before I get worried.

I had the chance to experiment this idea a few years ago. I had a text editor which could only lint Javascript. My project was a haskell+js hybrid. There was no analysis for hs aside from running the compiler and seeing the output.

Writing the hs part was a nightmare at first. Once the project grew and I needed refactoring, js became the main nightmare. Hs simply did its thing which at that point, I already had got used to it. Js couldn't tell me if anything wrong outside of function boundaries.

A smarter js linter may prove me wrong but I believe types serve a long term goal by sacrificing productivity in the beginning.

This headline is definitely a lot scarier than the actual body of the study.

The most likely cause of the heart damage by far is the systemic inflammation induced by pneumonia. We know this because pneumonia patients of all types often have heart strain afterwards[1]. But that damage is very rarely permanent as the risk subsides back to baseline given enough time.

Until we see evidence of heart issues in patients without pneumonia complications, we shouldn't be any more scared of covid-19 as we were before. In particular young and healthy people still have very little risk from infection. Patients who recover without serious complications should not be afraid of hidden heart damage.

Anyone else anecdotally notice that Edge's power usage is much better than Chrome's?
Yes but not really.

The “encoding problem” for Asian languages is real, but it goes back earlier than that, as it emerged with typewriters. See Thomas Mullaney’s “A history of the Chinese typewriter”, and Nanette Gottlieb’s “Word Processing Technology in Japan” for more. By the late 90s/00s it wasn’t a significant primary factor (that is if it was a factor, it was due to cultural inertia, and not lack of access to technology itself).

I think the problem here is looked at backwards. It’s not that Japan sucks at software - it’s that the US/North America got extremely good at software in the last 20 years (by a combination of factors that feed into each other, as always: the best research labs are in the US, the tools are built in the US, the companies that make use of them for competitive advantage are in the US, the economic context most favorable to founding such companies is in the US, etc). The rest of the world is catching up, but the gap is still visible.
You literally cannot scale up the production of the underlying fabric that goes into N95 masks quickly. These assembly lines take 6 months to set up.

There is no price at which these masks can be sold which will meaningfully impact supply before Covid 19 burns itself out.

Such price increases are honestly more likely to incentivize people digging their P100 masks out of their garages and workshops and donating those.
