True, I think it's important for people to distinguish that. "The waves can't ionize, so you shouldn't be worried" is a counter-argument I often see, and it really isn't a good one. The entire point is to try to identify what other potential harm electromagnetic radiation could cause beyond ionization.

It definitely needs to be thoroughly studied. But to my understanding, the past decades of study into it haven't revealed any harmful effects so far, at the energy levels that humans are generally exposed to. I do think it should continue to be studied in different ways, but given the current knowledge, I don't think people should feel very concerned about it.
You learned it for one language. Now imagine that you're working with a handful of languages regularly, some of which have 1-based indexing, some 0-based, some of which may have closed ranges, others half-open ranges.

If you're anything like me, you'll end up spending quite a bit of time looking up the documentation to the range operator to remind yourself how this week's language works again.

I’m not telling you to switch. I don’t think the S4TF team is telling you to switch anytime soon. At best you might want to be aware and curious about why Google is investing in a statically typed language with built in differentiation, as opposed to python.

Those that are interested in machine learning tooling or library development may see an opportunity to join early, especially when people have such irrational unfounded bias against a language, as evidenced by the hot takes in this thread. My personal opinion, that I don’t want to force on anyone, is that Swift as a technology is under-estimated outside of Apple and Google.
> If companies do go under, that means that there WILL be long-term problems with the economy because we're lowering LONG-RUN supply.

This is a false narrative. If a company goes under, chances are the long-run supply will not be affected much, if at all.

When a company goes under, its assets are not burned, and its employees are not killed. If there is any long-term profit to be made, a wealthy investor will come in, buy up the assets at a low price, hire the employees who are now jobless, and pick up the torch where the previous ownership left off.

A government bailout only makes sense if you own a company being bailed out, and you want to stay rich. A government bailout is bad for every other American, because it introduces an incentive to making poor decisions and not planning for market downturns. We should not be rewarding bad corporate behavior with a bailout, we should be punishing it by letting the companies go under so fresh blood can have a try.

We shouldn't be living in a feudal society of fiefdoms that are propped up by the federal government. Let the market run its course.

I hate the number naming system. I have no idea why anyone would find it preferable to use them for literally any reason. Specificity and Sensitivity already almost mean the right things in common language already, they are perfect words for this. The only use for these is to confuse people so they don't realise you have no idea what you are talking about.

I think some people struggle to grasp that these are actually strict mathematical concepts. But personally, that makes me feel comfortable with them. It is a lot easier to get a math concept consitently right than some of the fuzzier concepts in epidemiology.
I stand corrected, or it was added after I looked at the page (which appears to have been updated on April 8).
> - May be a long term thing, but I also think you should focus on expanding and growing your market size. Create blog posts, and videos on art, artists, art appreciation and advertize them. Educate audiance and get more people interested in it. That might percolate to making your business bigger.

I love all of these suggestions! We're currently working on a content strategy that will cover a lot of the topics you mentioned. I agree there's a piece of education that is needed, especially in understanding the process of artists, why things cost what they do, we plan on doing more in-depth interviews, and hopefully videos that can convey a lot more information.
Well in the JAMstack a database (or any other datasource) can be used and required during the build step, which will generate the static html using that datasource (see getInitialProps in nextJS). Once the static html is generated and output, the datasource is not needed anymore.

This is pretty much in contrast to other stacks, where more often you will not need a database at compile time, but only at runtime. Of course, the statically generated HTML will not update unless rebuild and deployed (except if you use a hybrid static/dynamic approach using Javascript or the completely server-side rendered mode, both of which are also supported by nextjs).

Yes, I found while I was learning the ropes of metaprogramming, I did a lot of quoting and dumping of code and then just reading the output structure to teach myself how a given piece of code get's lowered. Honestly, even if there were good docs for this, I think just quoting code at the REPL is a faster and more direct way to get that information anyways. This f course does increase the cognitive overhead when you're writing macros.

I think this additional complexity is a bit unavoidable given that Julia aims to provide something more like mathy syntax.

> t also seemed there were multiple valid asts for some expressions which would sometimes be magically canonicalised but maybe I was mistaken about that.

Yes, there are some things like that that happen, and to introspect that process you can use the Meta.@lower macro to see the canonicalization.

That list of "Rosenau’s Guidelines for Deconstruction Analysis", though... I get that Rosenau is a critic, but wow, does he ever make deconstruction sound like bad-faith, deliberately obscure, intending to impede actual understanding, and a complete waste of everyone's time in the name of trying to grab attention for one's self. And, I suspect, in many cases the criticism is very much on point.
Don't be surprised if there are provisions in the agreements to socialize the losses and privatize the profits. Like the ability to buy back the bond at original value at some point in the future, or some kind of "service agreement" that allows the bank to retain some of the interest payments.

We can already see this by the fact that the bond market has surged, pretty much guaranteeing that the Fed is going to overpay for these bonds.
My take the rate of serious illness and death due to COVID19 is a bounded parameter with a linear range. The infection rate is currently unbounded and logarithmic.

Ain't got much wiggle room to work with there. You have to pretend the morbidity rate is 20 to 50 times lower than the known lower bound (3-5%). So doesn't square.
I have seen MANY people install it on company hardware because it's tiring to have long chats on a 5" screen and it's hard to send/receive files through a phone. Many hardware providers send/receive contracts and even firmware hex files over WeChat (WTF, I know, but they do) so you're forced to use it for work if you are in the hardware industry, but for most people Tencent doesn't let you use it from a desktop without a native app. And they try to brainwash you into thinking it's for your own "account safety". BS.

Also, Alibaba's conferencing client. If you even have a meeting with anyone at Alibaba, they send you a proprietary desktop client to use for the meeting. More people need to learn to stand up and say no to this. From a corporate executive level, proprietary conferencing apps need to be banned on company-owned machines.

What they should be doing is straight-up WebRTC running in a web browser, which works great, and which will work in China as long as you set up signalling servers there.

That is red team + blue team. Also, it makes no claims as to the effectiveness of their systems, only how much they spent. Spending money does not mean spending money effectively, if anything declaring how good you are by how much you spent is anti-correlated with quality in almost everything e.g. "I spend by far the most money out of all my friends when repairing my car." is probably more of a sign that you are getting cheated rather than high quality repairs. The other point is you actually need to successfully defend against the attackers. If you have a $100M/yr red team budget that you use to run 100 $1M red team operations and every single one compromises your systems, that does not mean you need a $100M budget to breach the systems, it means you need $1M or less. You would need to successfully defend against all operations in the year to have any confidence that your defenses are comparable to your budget.

I like the idea of at least targeting a high fraction of total bandwidth for "making stuff better".

My reference to "capability traps" wasn't accidental, it's a serious risk to any business where maintenance and improvement has low observability vs production outputs[0]. In that situation economists rightly predict that effort is skewed towards what can be observed more easily ("equal compensation principle")[1].

Under those conditions it's easier to fix a time-spent target and observe time allocated, even if only approximately.

I think you might be overlooking another possibility. The same reasoning applies if you believe that SOME OF YOUR AUDIENCE considers the word "guys" to be gender-bound. If that is true, then a reasonable person might decide that for the sake of that audience it might be polite to use a different term even if that reasonable person doesn't ascribe any gender to the term.

I mean, that's a better description than calling it "Save Our State"... but yes, the goal of the amendment was to reduce the services provided to illegal immigrants. Perhaps I should have said "let's check if people are illegal immigrants before providing non-emergency services", but too late to edit now. Whether this is a good idea is very much in question, but that's also the case for letting felons vote.

The "might have been unconstitutional" was a "no, this genuinely might have passed muster in the courts if it was actually defended". What actually happened was that an injunction was placed against implementation of the proposition, and the state never appealed. Probably worth noting that the logic used in the injunction - that it was unconstitutional on the basis that it infringed on the federal government's exclusive jurisdiction over matters relating to immigration - would also (IMO) prevent sanctuary cities from existing, except that inaction is generally (and correctly) privileged above action.
"Simula" reminded me of the word "Simulation" or "Simulate", and had a good Matrixy feel to it. We're open-minded to a name reboot as we get further off the ground.

Right now we're working on perfecting Linux VR Desktop (for 2D apps), but the long-term goal is to bring forth killer office VR apps (for productivity, not gaming/entertainment) that wouldn't otherwise be possible in normal 2D Linux. These apps will likely take advantage of VR as an amazing "Simula[ting]" environment.

> Netflix is not good at creating content.

Why would you say that? These days, many of the most talked about and watched shows are Netflix content. Like for instance, Tiger King is the most talked about show in America right now, Netflix owned and produced.

> Netflix is not a business entity I would long. It is absolutely a fad, and will lose negotiating power to distributors and content creators.

This seems to be a five plus year ago view on the company. They've pivoted mostly to making original content at this point, which in my mind is the hardest reason to be long them. They've had to accumulate enormous debt to produce all of this content and have exclusive ownership rights, which makes their balance sheet look terrible.

The biggest drawbacks of Swift are the legacy relationships it has to the Apple ecosystem.

Yet swift is open source, and Apple and the community can fork it if they so choose. This is great news for me personally as an iOS developer and an ML noob who doesn't want to write Python. I can't comment on Julia because I have no experience with it, but I applaud the efforts to build the Swift ecosystem to challenge Python.

I think a lot of the criticisms so far are that it's early days for Swift in ML, and that's one point the author is emphasizing.
I've found this topic pretty interesting, and I've enjoyed trying my hand at it myself.

One of the things I've been playing with is Insight Maker https://insightmaker.com/ This site is a totally free platform where you can set up the kinds of simulations this article describes (stock and flow models). You can even specify your uncertainty in your baseline assumptions and run sensitivity analysis to see what the relative impact of each factor is on the model, and the range of potential outputs you could have. This system is very much like https://www.getguesstimate.com/, except much more flexible and way less intuitive.

Insight maker isn't a professional tool, it's really more of an advocacy and outreach platform, but despite that it's really quite powerful.

I think after you've read this article and internalized the difficulties in modeling pandemics (and have re-affirmed to yourself that you are not an epidemiologist, unless you are, more power to you if so), you might have some fun trying to build the model this article describes.

I've used Elm on a few projects - most recently oldfashioned.tech - and it's a lovely language. I read this article expecting the word 'ethical' to eventually point to something and it never did.

The author wanted a different language, shouted at a bunch of people for not agreeing with him, those people correctly wrote him off as a productive member of the community, and then he wrote a long blog post about how he can't see their side of the argument.

Indeed, he should use a language that aligns with his preferences. Extrapolating from his experience into this right vs. wrong narrative doesn't actually work.

Even after his explicitly acknowledged troll-like behavior, he didn't get some expletive-laden response from the project maintainers. He wasn't banned from the repos. At no point does he substantiate the idea of the leadership style being 'threatening.'

On the other hand, there are plenty of communities with actual threatening, abusive behavior in plain view, that everyone's aware of. There are plenty of communities that "well actually" every forum post instead of being helpful. Elm isn't one of those.
Nice snark, however web apps are still possible, and Android has a very similar feature (Instant - enabled by slices). Did you provide similar feedback when that was announced?
You can't assume this problem is only supply side. This interruption is going to have long-lasting implications on demand because lots of expenses are still piling up without businesses and consumers receiving their regular income. If you want everything to magically go back to the pre-pandemic levels, you either need to waive all those expenses or give them money to pay them. Otherwise those consumers and businesses are going to be reducing spending for the next year plus as they pay off all their expenses that are building up during the shutdown.

> Market economy rewards people in proportion to what costs to replace them

Mostly true. I'd say true, if by "replace" you mean "replace with someone equally capable of earning business the same amount of money". In this sense, top celebrities get absurdly high payouts because they cannot be easily substituted by someone who can bring in equivalent fanbase (=money).

> so unskilled jobs get rewarded less

Not necessarily. A CRUD app often pays more than medicine, but then again sometimes plumbing or construction work pays more than either.

> There is no chance in hell writing a crud app delivers more value to society than saving one single life.

Depends on an app. A one that helps move medicine around more efficiently, or reduce pollution in a city, effectively saves lives. But I've noticed that building such apps tends to be low on the pay scale. What pays best in this industry is usually something that's a net negative to society, like adtech or gambling.

I don't believe that. I'm simply saying that if the stated logic for this bill is that we need to regulate encryption because there is an unacceptable risk of misuse, then my response is that I actually accept the current level of misuse risk given the current level of regulation. Instituting further controls in the form of regulation would cost us more than the perceived reduction of risk that it affords.

Obviously this bill is about more than that, but I think that statement pretty much torpedoes their main public argument.
