It's not a pause button, it's a playback speed button that slows down the contamination.

Remember #FlattenTheCurve.

What is true is that it would take waaaay longer to reach herd immunity this way.

Another thing that people usually get wrong is the her immunity concept: from what I understand, it doesn't mean we ALL need to be infected. We just need to be enough, so the virus can't spread anymore.
The key here is that the vulnerable population needs to tolerate it, too.
> is YAML being "superseded"? By what now??)

i hope by something that isn't the kitchen sink... i actually prefer XML and i hate XML.

started looking at https://dhall-lang.org/# which compiles to json/yaml, is seriously strongly typed and explicitly not Turing-complete both as a design goal and current reality.
I've taken it but I wouldn't recommend it - it was pretty shallow. That guy used to have a more complete version of the course on Coursera. I believe that it became a specialization.
A local news site uses it, however as that's in a (distant) second language for me, and I discovered their app doesn't let me select to copy-paste words into a translator, it wasn't useful. Probably just an issue with their app implementation however.
That is also the symptoms of the ordinary flu which is the more likely candidate.
The benchmark is flawed. Cupy follows Numpy in doing a type-promotion of the data to float64 before computing the covariance.

https://github.com/cupy/cupy/blob/b19577199d3f75c76e23c75194...

The following function in PyTorch completes the float32 computation in 27 ms (1080 Ti). I'm fairly sure that a similar function in Cupy would achieve very similar results.

def corr(dat):
cov = (dat @ dat.T).div_(dat.shape[-1]-1)
sigma = torch.diag(cov).sqrt_()
return cov.div_(sigma[None]).div_(sigma[None].T)

The heart of the computation SGEMM is in anycase provided by CUBLAS, and the only areas in which PyT and Cupy differ are in the tricks used to unroll the loop for the broadcasting & L1 op. The performance difference b/w PyT, Cupy and others should be negligible IMO.

Note:
np.corrcoef takes about 1.12 s and the above float32 version takes 325ms on the CPU.
intuition pumps typically just confirm your own biases, so materialists accept these refutations and antimaterialists are not convinced by them.

Yeah, I think that’s a good way to describe my complaint about philosophical thought experiments. They’re fun to argue over, but very rarely actually cause anyone to shift their positions, and as far as I can tell have zero practical value.

I think it’s interesting to compare it to e.g. Einstein’s thought experiments around relativity, like photons bouncing between mirrors on a fast-moving train. Those are useful because they help explore the ramifications of some mathematically rigorous physics proposals, and point us towards real world experiments. The underlying postulates are well defined.

Similarly, Einstein again, the EPR paradox is a very strange thought experiment around quantum mechanics that has turned out to be amazingly fruitful (if not in the way he wanted). Again, the underlying assumptions being tested are well-defined.

In contrast, the “Mary’s room” scenario tells us nothing useful and has no connection to the real world, because it’s not actually about the physics or physiology of colour at all. It’s about “qualia” which nobody can agree on how to define in the first place. There’s no starting point for the discussion, so there’s always an escape hatch for the point of view you support.
How to Manually Perform the VMware Tools Download from VMware Website
I think you may be missing a large group of criminals in the middle. Like with ordinary humans in non-criminal context, you have a group of indiscriminately stupid people, a group of very smart people, and a large group - I think majority - that just parrots what everyone else is doing or recommending around them, with very little individual thoughts given.

You can compare it to COVID-19 reactions among the people you know. Almost everyone now keeps distance in public, because everyone knows they should and are expected to. But how many people don't connect this with the fact that they should absolutely not meet up with their friends now? Or that they should absolutely not visit their families this Easter? Or that it would be wise to wash groceries and deliveries?

We could say this parroting group is doing cargo-cult OPSEC. They can know they shouldn't brag about their crimes in person or on social media, and yet at the same time they could easily trip using communication tools they don't understand - unless the industry goes out of its way to make such tripping impossible. I think this is the group the law enforcement is talking about. Not the idiot criminals, not the smart criminals - just regular ones, who don't understand the world they live in well, and occasionally make mistakes.
"where everyone is required to wear masks all the time"

And this is what bothers me with such laws. No it does not make sense to wear masks all the time. (even assumed only outside) When I am running alone in the forest I do not need a mask. While driving a car alone, or with a partner, I do not need a mask. So the law should be, wearing masks all the time in populated public spaces.

"I believe it's also well established that any measures taken to slow the spread of a new virus will always result in fewer total deaths"

And this is only true if you look only isolated at the virus and do not take into account the various big side effects of a lockdown. Because you will get deaths from: suicide, domestic violence, other diseases, because staying home is not really good for the immune system and general health. Also this only takes into account the rich world. In india staying home is also required, but this is a really serious death risk, if your home is a metal barrack in the slums, with no AC, meaning you just get cooked. Before you starve to death, because you have no income anymore.

I need to profile it more closely, I actually don't remember the exact FPS etc. but I don't expect that to be the limiting factor.

The inference / ml is expensive (which I did profile initially...), and I suspect not really optimized on this backend. It appears to be faster with webGL in the browser.

I sorta stopped worrying about it once it was "good enough" to show up to a few meetings with, but with all the attention I'll probably take another look.

> I speculate young people wouldn't volunteer

That doesn't matter. The reason why everything is closed is hospital capacity. That impacts everybody. If you had a car accident you may not get all the help you need.

14% of people may need hospitalisation and you want to focus your efforts on that group. There is almost no young people there.
> Computer science isn't supposed to teach you how to program

Perhaps, but it's still the closest thing the industry has to a "programming education"; I think it's the first thing employers look for, rightly or wrongly.

> it's kind of silly to judge a whole subject by the first year

How many of my limited days on the planet am I supposed to sink into something before I'm permitted to pass judgement? At some point Stockholm Syndrome would take over.

> A good CS student, who understands the coursework and doesn't cheat, should easily become a good enough programmer just from completing coursework in a mostly theoretical program to get hired basically anywhere. Programming is something you learn incidentally because it's intertwined with what you're doing anyway;

That's not what I saw happening (unless you count the official lectures/colloquia as "cheating"; certainly I saw cases where the meat of the answer to a supervision question was spoon-fed to us directly). The people who could program at the end of first year were the people who could program at the beginning or who "got it" immediately. I never saw people struggling with a new concept but then gradually being taught it (which is something I did see happen a lot in the mathematics course), and a frightening proportion of the students I was friendly with were coming out of that first year knowing seemingly nothing, certainly not being able to program or talk coherently about algorithms or computability. I suppose it's conceivable that those students were somehow getting something out of the system design type courses, but it seems implausible.

I understand there was a shake-up in that CS department a few years after I graduated, so maybe I went through it during a bad time. But the students who graduated there in the meantime aren't going to get a do-over.

> I see it as like if I were hiring for something as generic as "writer". It's easy to have a generic "writer" produce a small sample for you on the spot, similar to a CS interview. Of course you can always practice writing directly itself, but I would imagine someone who had completed a lot of coursework in linguistics, classics, literature, etc. would on average be very well-prepared if they were a good student. But you could still practice and teach yourself on your own if you wanted to

I'd suspect the overwhelmingly important part of writing is actually writing; I only know one person who I'd call a great writer, and hanging out with him the thing you notice is that he writes the way other people check their phone. All the things you list can enhance writing, certainly, but if you don't actually write then any amount of knowledge of linguistics or classical literature is meaningless (at least in terms of how it affects your writing ability).
The point of social distancing is to bring the number of cases down to a point where other measures are possible, such as test-and-trace. Social distancing is step 1, not the whole process.

I'm not sure what museums you are going to, but for me they taught me:

1) a boat load of science

2) natural history (evolution, human interaction etc)

3) how to farm

4) a boat load about the romans[1]

5) basic early middle east history

> take to have an interesting take on China and its people without sounding utterly blind

You're missing the fundamental point. Museums are generally a cheap way for people to see and understand the world. They serve as an elementary introduction to the world. If something takes a person's eye, they can talk to the curator and be connected to current academic thinking.

This is something that normally only happens at university, which is expensive. It is about access, if museums go away history culture and understanding become the preserve of the rich.

[1] The Romans are an interesting point. A lot of artefacts are loot from raids especially in the arse end of the empire. Because soldiers were promised land in exchange for service, not only was it colonialism, but they were paid for by the assets of the conquered.

A huge problem I see with this is that already circulating coronaviruses cause immunities as short as 3 months. While the SARS virus seems to cause much longer immunity (same for MERS), this may be linked to the strong symptomes that people have, thus may be due to a stronger immune reaction. Asymptomatic cases and people with mild symptoms may therefore be immune only for a short time. If this is the case, any herd immunity strategy will achieve not much but endanger many many people.
Path to Competitive Programming
Ah yes, the bane of my existence, again: "senior" == "ability to build large distributed systems".

I mean, hell, that's a great skill. I wish I had it. Then again, I've seen people forced to build "large distributed systems" to solve things I can solve on one thread on one CPU because they don't have my skills. It's almost as if there is more than one skill that qualifies you as "senior" or something!
>> I disagree. Religion isn't about being afraid, it's about learning to cope.

It's no wonder that we become religious when we are most vulnerable. Giving up control gives us comfort. Religions have a ready answer for everything but don't be mistaken, they always double down on fear because fear sells well. "All" the religions threaten with hell in this life and the afterlife if you dare to dissaffiliate. Not to mention that deep down you know that without religion you are doomed to face a harsh reality. I used to believe that religions serve a therapeutic need but unfortunately they've been twiested in so many ways , they try to be so many things that I can't see them more than some tales of wisdom like the Greek mythology. I belive it's a red and blue pill choice.

>I live in a college area and young adults are still going over to each others apartments and without practicing social distancing when going out to buy groceries.

That's my point: the young adults don't want to comply with the social distancing, so if someone said "hey, if you let me infect you with this virus that has a 1/50,000 chance of killing you, you can no longer get/transmit the more dangerous strain so you don't have to social distance any more", a lot would take the offer.

Taiwanese Lithium-Ceramic Battery Maker ProLogium Technology Raises $100M
Yes, that is the discussion I have heard, that healthcare workers without proper PPE get larger doses than those with the right gear and are more likely to fall ill. Same effect applies to the average person in public when exposed to an infected person who may not be showing systems - even imperfect PPE reduces their initial dose and increases their odds of having a less severe infection.
We do whiteboarding, but not because we want to see how God your are to draw neat things. How mucb right you (sure bonus points for vetting it 100 percent right) but if you get it 60 percent right.

How to go abkit something and maybe even suggest two or three ways to figure it out (or workaround the missing knowledge, technology) the better.

Thats what we want to see.

People have to take responsibility for their own decisions about what to use in production.
Would anyone have a choice? Surely once a few people are infected it will start spreading on its own. Even if people who are infected were instructed to isolate there will be a certain level of non-compliance, particularly at scale.
Technically they don’t provided we can get the herd immunity up to a decent level in the rest of the population.

While it would be a good idea if the mutated strain was no more dangerous than a common cold coronavirus, we could drive the dangerous strains to extinction without having to infect the vulnerable.

Lets take a different perspective. The drawback of paper days where one would publish a final version are over. On paper one could only enhance by publishing a retraction or a follow up.

Assuming the author has better things to do others could provide value by endorsement. We have star ratings and thumbs all over the web, it works but the rocket scientist gets as many votes as the 12 year old under an article about rocket science.

I've often had the discussion on wikipedia. The funniest one was 4 so called established editors repeatedly overruling the Nobel prize winner in his area of expertise on an issue that according to the guidelines is left up to editors. Initially he argued the text he added was common sense. When trying to add sources there was only cursory mention in top journals (they assumed it was common sense for their reader) everything else was considered not RS. It struck me how easy it would be to use [for example] university profile pages to host a public key. It doesn't even have to be visible. The WP editors argued it impossible but its easy.

Then them professors can go around and rate peoples publications the way they always do. As a reader I would much enjoy the endorsements.

It's much better than just my own opinion crudely put together without expertise. The journalist probably doesn't know anything either. I wonder, what are we even doing? (me and the journalist) If neither of us can see the false-positives or -negatives nor can do the probability calculations... what is the point of the exchange? I see much greater potential with little extra effort.
The median age in Nigeria is 18.4 years, while in Italy it's 45.5 years.
