Flattening surely is not going to work if everybody eventually get sick from this. We'd need 3M beds for a month each patient. Divide that by the number we have, it'd take 20 years of 'flattening' to make that work.

No, the reason to try and delay is only to give time for vaccines, better processes and treatments. That's the only path forward.

And it isn't happening fast enough. So there will be some suffering.
It is delightful :) Any program written in pure ANSI CL should run without any changes today. Even pre-ANSI code shouldn't be too hard to adapt. In practice, a few people graciously maintain such libraries and make distribution easier and documentation readily available.
Python does all of that and more. There are still occasional issues with the thorniest setups, but binary wheels absolutely took care of the average case. You even get a massive desktop toolkit luke QT with a simple “pip install pyqt”.

Getting there might not be the nicest experience, but most packages nowadays can and do get there.
I completely disagree. I think Don Delillo has an unbelievably cool writing style (especially how he only writes one paragraph per page and makes sure his words LOOK AESTHETIC in addition to conveying meaning). But DeLillo has essentially zero significance in American culture.

No millennials read or connect with his work, and only very few boomers do. I find Delillo’s work largely hostile to readers that don’t share his exact super-wide frame of references and age.

I like DeLillo but the idea of giving him a Nobel is an absolute joke, save the Nobel for artists who actually influence other artists and cultures. DeLillo just doesn’t have much influence and his highly verbose style is transparently hostile.

Thiel is your classic contemporary libertarian: no government except when there's money to be made or self interests are at stake.
Everything that is non essential in California is closed and only companies that can function with only working from home are still operating AFAIK. It doesn't matter how bad the outbreak is here, we've been on a shutdown for longer than anywhere in the USA, at least here in Northern California. Many restaurants have closed, only some are open for take out, but that probably depends on area. This last week they finally told many construction/lawn maintenance workers to stay home as well, depending upon circumstances.
The video must be decrypted to do the scaling, transcoding, and dynamic bitrate adjustment for different platforms and network speeds – there's no way around this.

All of the group video providers will be decoding video on the server to achieve the reliability everyone wants.
(I work at Quill). We've found threading to work really well with teams as small as 3. (2, probably not.) In professional contexts, conversations tend to be about specific topics -- someone posts a GitHub issue, bug report, feature discussion, etc, vs say a more social conversation that is less structured.

It's a way to keep track of the conversations you're having instead of a stream of consciousness (with multiple conversations interleaved) that is often times what people find in a channel. Once you shift to using threads, you sort of unlock a lot of things: revisiting old conversations via search, restarting conversations becomes trivial (all the context is right there!), managing your notifications (per conversation instead of per message now), quickly catching up on what you missed vs. sifting through hundreds of messages.

We're mostly solving for teams bigger than 3, but, we think it's really important that it does scale down to small teams.
Again, my argument is simple, how can EVERY post about any certain thing (not just for a _for-profit_ company like Tailscale but in general) can go to the frontpage within the first minutes every time for more than 10 times in a row over the short course of the past 3 months in a website that has the reputation of near impossibility to have your post on the frontpage even once except maybe for SHOW HN threads and where a flood of new threads gets posted every 10 minutes and almost every post gets buried immediately without getting a single upvote even if it was very well written.
I say you are wrong, though maybe this is the line we should be using if we still think we can tiptoe backwards out of Trump's chloroquine trap.

I repied to somebody saying essentially the same thing as you here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22760840
The article notes: "Employees will also be provided with surgical masks starting next week, the company says, once it receives shipments of orders of “millions” placed a few weeks ago."

Companies have been trying to do whatever they can. But there are limits to what they can do. A warehouse only has so much room to keep distance while still satisfying the needs of customers. And PPE is in short supply. It makes sense that it would take weeks to source equipment at this time.

Everyone is complaining and protesting but the reality is the companies have already been doing what they can, by and large.
That's exactly how wifi works. If there's no data to be transferred, the radio's transmitter is off and it is not using the spectrum. That said, periodic beacons and keepalives defined in various protocols will cause data to be sent from time to time.
TL;DR: starting next week, Amazon will start:

1) taking temperatures of employees, fever >100.4°F to be sent home for min 3 days

2) giving surgical masks to employees once it receives shipments of orders of “millions”

3) using machine learning-powered video software to monitor social distancing

While I think Zoom has a lot of work to do from a security perspective, overall I think we should be supportive: facilitating -- mostly for free! -- very low friction video calls between an enormous number of isolated people is an incredible service.
> off-label usage

Off-label usage is bad when this is a drug that other people (like those with lupus - see here [0]) need to survive - we need trials first and I'm not sure that is occurring due to the President. This is a problem created by too early messaging when you should be focusing on "stay home" and other clear communication that was absent for weeks before his focus on this drug.

You have misread slightly I fear. Note that he says:

which is not the original Schrödinger equation, but a Schrödinger equation which is stationary and which forms part of the solution of the original Schrödinger equation.
Js Frameworks are built on top of vanilla JS, so if you build an application of any complexity you will eventually start to abstract functionality until you have your own (probably bad) framework.
I think providing an example will help me understand what you're trying to say. And I worry I will soon hit my comment limit so I may not be able to respond.

I do not think what people "feel" is necessary a result of a focus on work. I've often encountered upset people at work because they believed a coworker was implying they were stupid. And in any case, things like fairness in compensation/promotions, etc can play a big role.

I agree with root causing, but I often find it's hard to root cause someone else's problem without knowing their feelings. The sad truth about communications is that most people suck at it. Half of becoming a better communicator is learning to deal with poor communicators, and making it easier for them to express what's on their mind (something many/most are reluctant to do).
OK going with your assumptions, I wonder what % of people collecting unemployment benefits have worked for 40 years at an average of $70k/yr? I am not aware of a single individual, but maybe just don't know the right people.
What alterations could HN make to the front page weighting algorithm that tries to spot and penalise voting rings?

e.g. if you're someone who routinely upvotes posts within minutes, maybe your vote could count for less than an account that only dips in to the new page occasionally?

Or maybe your vote gets penalised if it's your only upvote in a 24 hour period?

Or maybe HN keeps track of who you upvote with, and your vote gets penalised the more you upvote with the same people?

idk, it sounds like a fun project for someone if HN wanted a more organic front page.
At my company at least, you have to be a "diverse candidate" to realistically qualify for that opportunity however.
Make sure to check out Magisk.
Well, yes, but now you're saying our trust is limited because other companies do bad.

But we have a pretty good reason, beyond that, to not trust Zoom - THEY clearly never gave a shit about security, given in a few weeks of people taking a slightly deeper look we've had pretty much every possible leak and bug and problem you can imagine crop up.

How long did it take Microsoft to go from "no-shits-are-given-security" to "security-is-core"? 2 decades, something like that?

So yeah, sure, 90 days, that's... well, maybe the beginnings of a start.
>In fact, that's usually the point of those projects.

And are you doing it because you truly enjoy the needless complexity or because the buzzwords would look good on your resume? If the later, again, that's profit motive and commercial web. Like how the only point of using kubernetes for personal stuff is to learn kubernetes for non-personal stuff.
I personally find NVC to be degrading and belittling. It presumes I am not a grown up who can handle important criticism, which infantilizes me.

It is also a political weapon. It may be non-violent in one domain (the tone and language presentation) but it is very violent in other domains like undermining valid criticisms, changing the conversation so it’s not about the problem but instead filibustered with metaproblems about who is / isn’t being kind in someone’s made up subjective & political definition of verbal discourse.

Just because it says “non-violent” in the name doesn’t mean it’s true. In fact it’s rather suggestive. If you have to be defensive and _define_ your communication as non-violent, that’s pretty suspect and belies dangerous motives.

It’s “politeness theater” in a way similar to how the TSA uses security theater. You can _say_ it’s effective for a stated purpose all you want, but that doesn’t make it true.
A lot of this going around lately. Just because you don’t agree with someone, their opinion isn’t the cause of this mess.

OP has a point and I’ve read the number of asymptomatic as high as 50%.

Other than creating more corporate control over employees, statistically how do temp checks improve the situation?

A better solution would be the 5 mins tests. Then you have a 99% certainty.
I'd think that in this particular case, black-hat hacking would also be in play--to include those untrustworthy black-box voting machines.

To that trope of "four boxes" (soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammunition box) we might add "burner box", for the computer that was purchased with cash and kept off all of one's usual networks.

It's one of the quirks of the modal ethics of the computer person that we'd rather get someone fired, ruin their credit, reassign 20000 orphaned traffic/parking tickets to their name, or send a SWAT team to their home address, than to dirty our own hands with actual blood. You have to account for that in any organized resistance strategy. Nobody around here is going to be beating up scabs.
If you were to value all human lives equally, the Cold War potential threat was far greater than this. The actual realized causality count is of course orders of magnitude lower for the Cold War.

In terms of being an existential threat to human life, this virus as we currently understand it (ignoring all the unknowns) isn't a real Doomsday. Historically it's merely a blip on the radar of awful things humanity has went through, endured, and survived leading to where we are now. People survived the bubonic plague and continued on. It was awful and they lacked much of the knowledge and understanding we now have to better curb these threats.

The vast majority of the population is going to be fine, healthy, and moving along. There may be economic restructuring after this (I don't see it as likely though). You're probably going to see a drop in quality/standard of living at large no matter what, but the majority of our infrastructure will still be there and the majority of the people who operate it will still be there. It's not like humans won't be around, infrastructure will be destroyed, our acquired knowledge and skills are lost...

The absolute worst case scenario is that this virus mutates regularly (perhaps with higher mortality rates) and we aren't able to manage it. Each mutation comes with significant risk of death. Although the risk could low for many, multiple exposures to relatively low risk leads to higher more realized unwelcome outcomes. This would absolutely force a complete systematic restructuring of societies, how we interact, how we work, etc. long term.

Based on what we currently know this will be a fairly long decline in productivity that most will be immune to and life will probably continue on mostly as is. It all boils down to questions about who deserves what, who takes the hit on losses, etc. Right now it looks like your average US citizen will see a larger decline in standards of living and our economic system will further consolidate/concentrate wealth and power barring some sort of (hopefully non-violent) social revolution.
Random anecdote. For Turner's GameTap, a sort of subscription-based library of games for many different platforms from around 15 years ago, they absolutely were using downloaded ROMs. Worse, they were unable to find clean ROMs for several games, and several of the versions that were used had Demoscene cracktros added in. They got around the problem by just playing through the cracktro, saving the state, and loading that state when a player loaded the game.
That's smart. They are going to get a ton of great applications.
Now we've moved into the territory of what's easier to implement, that's a different discussion and involves also the lack of implementation complexity at the server end.

There is no problem doing key exchanges between all the participants as long as the number of participants isn't too huge. Everyone just needs to kex with everyone else, so from the POV of a single participant the effort scales linearly with number of participants, even though the work collectively done by everyone is squared.
I did, early on. It largely seems fine, and really isn't very different from Chrome.

I'm not a very picky browser consumer, though. And unfortunately, all browsers seem to lack my killer feature, which would be to never start a video or animation without an explicit act on my part.
Yeah from my limited knowledge the actual amount of virus you get injected with is very important, it's not a binary caught/not caught thing.
Sorry, but LineageOS is pretty much a joke now. Most maintainers just randomly stop maintaining devices after a little bit of time. Also, there is shady stuff at the limits of legality when it comes to proprietary binaries. They preach security is their focus, but doesn't look like that.

Also, vendor roms are quite good already, no need to install unstable roms like it's 2015.
Maven is “so good” that people wrote another tool on top (Gradle) so they don’t have to touch the Mavenstrosity. More or less like Maven was built to get rid of that other nightmare, Ant.
Eh, kinda. There are still lots of performance tricks and clever hacks needed for games, just not on the storage capacity front. For example see this breakdown of the GTA5 rendering pipeline, it's still very complicated and employs lots of clever tricks.

well, this comes from WHO. i honestly don't understand why they're lying. maybe to stop people for buying al masks? but this is incredibly stupid, there are textile masks too that don't help a lot, but still do a little, as it limits the distance that the virus is expelled to (and if everyone wears them, everybody gets protected because the people with the virus will have a smaller air spreading area around them).
Hi, Celerity dev here!

> Weird. A library that wraps SYCL within MPI, yet requires all processes to hold a copy of all the memory ?

> One of the main reasons to use MPI is to solve problems that do not fit within the memory available in a single cluster node.

You are absolutely right; this is a problem that Celerity currently has. However, I'm happy to say that we are actively working on a solution that should cover a good portion of use cases and which will be available quite soon hopefully!

Of course, as was already pointed out in this thread (and on the website), this is a research project, and we only have limited resources. If you look a little closer, I'm sure you will find all sorts of issues ;-). However, we are committed to continuously improve Celerity, and ultimately strive to build a robust and modern HPC programming framework that is usable by non-experts (i.e., domain scientists) while also delivering solid performance.

> Doing a distributed MatMul using MPI-CUDA is trivial. I wonder how the cyclomatic complexity and performance compares for that case.

I would assume the programmability metrics to be somewhere in between OpenCL and SYCL. CUDA is a bit less verbose than OpenCL, but you still have to manually deal with MPI (which is also the main factor for MPI+SYCL having much higher cyclomatic complexity than Celerity). Performance-wise I would also not expect much difference, given that we are talking about naive matmul here.

In general, we're not trying to beat [insert your favorite BLAS library]. At this level of abstraction, that would be pretty much impossible. We are showing off results for matmul because everybody knows it and has at least somewhat of an understanding of the MPI operations required to do it in a distributed setting. You can see it as a stand-in for whatever domain-specific algorithm you want to run in a distributed setting.

> Insted, they only compare doing one MatMul per process using MPI-OpenCL... that's... a two liner with CUDA (just call MpiInit followed by a cuBLAS call).

That's not quite true. What we showed here are several successive matrix multiplications, each one being computed in distributed fashion across all participating GPUs. The splitting of work as well as all intermediate data transfers happen completely transparently to the user (save for having to provide a "range mapper"), which I think is one of the main selling points of the project!
How to Make Money Investing During a Recession
The purpose in our current societal system

Our form of greed-centered capitalism is not some inevitable natural truth. We've chosen to live that way. We can choose otherways. We can choose to pay people to recognize their contributions to society, as opposed to how much they do to enrich an individual. We can choose to ensure everybody has decent living conditions, no matter what to do. We can choose to live vast swaths of humanity in dirt and squalor. We can choose to commit collective suicide.

It's up to us. Right now? It's a point where events are pushing us to consider our choices.
Webtorrent is a thing though. Is it not true peer-to-peer?
It is not a really a replacement for a CS university education. But good training on various computer languages, frameworks, tools.
For the sake of safety, I think it is better to err on the side of false-positives in this situation.
How are temperature checks useful? I thought I'd read that people are asymptomatic for up to 2 weeks, during which time they can spread it. If that is the case, temperature checks do absolutely nothing to stop the spread here...

I bumped this because it's an underappreciated topic in CS. I never really had any formal education but PID and MPC have been in my bag of systems hacks for decades now. I wish I had more lives to expend in enjoyment of the pursuit of control theory. Frankly computing is starting to really get interesting again, I feel like it's 1979 redux.
Don't make it so obvious = the best content marketing is subtle and indistinguishable...just offering some feedback for future efforts.
No, it does the opposite: it ensures that toolchains for the modern system work on retro systems. Which is a neat hack, but doesn’t help with preserving anything.
At my company you do not. Anecdotally (again, for my company) I hear that being from a not-top-N-university helps your chances, so maybe that extends to no university? I'm really not sure.
I would love to see what they would think of the last 250 years of history. I think it's naive to suggest that they wouldn't have anything to learn. They were writing in one world, and people have found many new ways to abuse their countrymen since then.
Dat architecture tho: https://cortexmetrics.io/docs/architecture/ . Holy bi-gebus.
You can also give it a second boolean argument to force add/remove classes.

let flag = false;
ele.classList.toggle('has--flag', flag);

will remove the class, for example.

> 3) using machine learning-powered video software to monitor social distancing

Ughhh... Never let a good crisis go to waste. How about we ban machine learning systems to monitor people's movement at scale?
Correct me if Im wrong, but even with temperature checks which you may not have you are still potentially a carrier? If so, I hope we can find a better detection system if a vaccine isn't created ASAP.
