Plenty of people learn how to program without learning the requisite math first. I wrote my first program when I was 8 years old, long before I learned even algebra. I think it is still the case that most people learn how to program before they even know what the word recursion means.
Banks have not been reserve constrained in at least a decade, the 0% reserve requirement is a red herring. Other countries have had 0% reserves for a long time. Banks are constrained in lending by regulatory capital requirements (see Basel III), stress test requirements (in the US), and their own risk tolerance.

He says:

> Apart from the time it will take to develop, trial, and mass produce a vaccine (12-18 months), it is unlikely that any vaccine will be practicable. The reason why is immunity to respiratory viruses (like corona) doesn’t last long – 6 months to 2 years. We would have to keep vaccinating everyone in the world every year (or maybe every 6 months if we are unlucky). This just isn’t going to work in the real world (especially poor countries) and is one of the reasons we don’t have a vaccine for the coronavirus strains that cause the common cold. Unless we can drive the current dangerous SARS-CoV-2 strains to extinction we are going to have a problem with this disease indefinitely.

Every one of these objections also applies to a less harmful strain.

For example, one reason vaccines don't confer durable immunity to many respiratory infections is because the infectious agents change over time, migrating away from the vaccine response. Well, by the same token, a less deadly strain of such an infectious agent would also change over time at the same rate.

On the other hand if we think a naturally occurring strain would provide stable immunity over a long time, then a human-created vaccine would also be stable for a long time.

There is nothing magical about naturally occurring strains. They work in the body exactly the same way vaccines do. (Which is of course why vaccines work in the first place.)
GPUs are SIMD machines, does that color whether it seems rare? Coming from a graphics background and working on GPUs, I am super biased, but I say it's very worth the hassle.

The easiest intro IMO is check out & play around in ShaderToy. You don't have to know much about SIMD to write shaders, but once you start paying attention to how the machine works, you can make it go really fast.

In general, using something like CUDA is similar to C++ you just have to make sure all your threads do as close to the same thing as possible in order to see good perf.
Seems like a reasonable conjecture.

I have a huge problem with requiring mathematical proficiency in programming. It's sets an unreasonable barrier to entry.

Thousands of every day apps and services work just fine without anything more than simple arithmetic. 3 or 4 of the top 5 websites required no math to get started.

Spreading the idea that you need to know math before learning to program is elitist and counter productive IMO.

F/A-18's are a dime a dozen right now (not literally obviously). There's a bunch of old ones coming off the line and being refit as ... no joke, drones for target practice for other drones.

There's a remote-fly-by-wire package they install that apparently has been around for quite a while. I guess this means they're also developing a remotely controlled or AI based fighter platform but they wouldn't confirm, just that these new "drones" get shot down by other "drones".

Source: I was given a tour of the facility and told what they were doing with the old F-18's. Pretty wild.
Not having advanced medical equipment or doctors is one way to have a health system that doesn't work. Not hiring a programmer to write you a script to connect two systems during the worst unemployment event in almost a hundred years is another one. As are so many of the other reasons here. We are finding out that our healthcare system really isn't up to par not only because we don't have equipment, but because due to lack of regulations that benefit profit seeking, the system barely works. If only we had some sort of over arching entity that could force all these disparate systems to work together based on a set of rules ... you know, a government and specifically a government that works not one that's constantly being dismantled by idiots who think the corona virus is a hoax. In the end, the crisis always boils down to not having an effective, functioning government and leadership. This would be unacceptable in many places, but the US has extremely low standards in general so it's business as usual.

I've been using FFX 75.0 for a few hours and I very much like the new address bar. When I ctrl-L my eyes fix on the address bar, where they should, because of the blue outline and the chunky left/right margins. I like this and I wish others here would stop calling this an objective UX fail. To the contrary, I think the FFX devs have done a splendid job once again.
Oh you're right I guess this situation would only really apply to large identifiable entities, like maybe tech corporations that selectively surface and moderate reviews.

From the Abstract:
...

Mortality was significantly lower in patients who had received 3 days of HCQ-AZ than in patients treated with other regimens both at IHU and in all Marseille public hospitals...

Interpretation

The HCQ-AZ combination, when started immediately after diagnosis, is a safe and efficient treatment for COVID-19, with a mortality rate of 0.5%, in elderly patients. It avoids
worsening and clears virus persistence and contagiosity in most cases.

So, last night in NL a number of telephone base stations was destroyed because of this. This seriously impacts the availability of the local emergency number so this hoax is now costing actual lives at a time when the chance of a particular base station being required to call emergency services is quite high.

Sick and tired of these idiots.

You don't need to change the numpy or cupy source code, just write your own version of the function in a few lines of code using other primitives that numpy/cupy provides.

That's true for general electronic and mechanical stuff and obviously not true for everything. Semiconductor, batteries etc. are much more specialised.
I created a Result style interface in Typescript and made the decisions to fix the Error to a single type for this very reason.

I see your point about Peterson being inarticulate regarding his knowledge and understanding of Marxism. However I don’t even know what the strongest interpretation of his views even are. It’s hard to steelman when your interlocutor is incomprehensible. It’s even more baffling because Peterson is using his audiences own unfamiliarity with Marxism and Žižek's views which are not even Marxist to have plausible deniability to strawman Žižek’s views, in order to try to call on Žižek to defend views he doesn’t hold and statements Žižek doesn’t make.

That critics gloss over all this by only saying that Peterson is shallow and incorrect is a shame. He’s not even wrong because his argument is not even making normative statements that could be proved or disproved. To say that the critic judging him didn’t do a good job is fair. However it seems like missing the point. If you have a test and get partial credit for showing your work and your answer is wrong and the work you show is wrong, it is hard to see where an instructor could award any points for an attempt. Nor do I see it as a failure of the instructor to not show their work on this when grading. I think Hitchen’s razor works best here.

> Yes, all experience could be fallible and illusory but the fact of experience itself cannnot be an illusion.

Sure it can, and it remains only to explain how and why this illusion works to fool us into making erroneous statements, like "the fact of experience itself cannnot be an illusion".

> Experience qua experience is the thing no scientific theory of perception and cognition needs. So why does it exist?

It probably doesn't! Although I'm not as convinced as you that qualia are entirely non-functional.

> But an illusion (which is some experience whose epistemology we have misconstrued) is not itself an illusion.

What is an illusion? To my mind, an illusion is a perception or inference thereof that, taken at face value, entails a falsehood. So to call phenomenal consciousness an illusion is to say that the claims inferred from our direct perceptions are false, eg. "I have subjective awareness". There's nothing problematic about this that I can see.

Get her started with an Arduino kit! And then follow tutorials on Adafruit, SparkFun, Make: Magazine, etc. I always found circuit analysis to be a super dry topic when taught in my high school and college classes, but it's fun when you start out with the goal of building something. Depending on whether she's more interested in physics/EE/programming, you can delve into one of those areas more.
I sure thought that there was a name, somewhere between quine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quine_(computing) ) and polyglot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyglot_(computing) ), for this: a program in one language that, when run, outputs a program in another language that etc. I can't find the name or a good example (other than the parent post!), though.
Or we could all just prepare for pandemics the way we’re supposed to. Otherwise moving manufacturing will be a band aid at best.
I like this style in other languages, but unfortunately it's really hard to write this style in C, most of his examples with functions would be pretty inefficient, or at least have somewhat confusing lifetimes. For instance the functions returning a string on the stack which at a glance seem inefficient. I think modern C++ compilers might be able to use move semantics for the examples returning a string, but im not entirely sure and I personally don't like relying on compiler optimisations

briandear is right and toomuchtodo is wrong. (He's even wrong in the way he was wrong.)

One would think reading only the Snopes article, or the Twitter thread (!) the piece is based on, that to save money (or because the Trump administration hates science, or something) the entire "US Pandemic Response Team" agency was eliminated and everyone in a large DC office building was fired.

Actually reading the contemporary NBC News https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/tom-bossert-t... and Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2018/0... articles the Snopes piece cites in the body, they seem to have been a handful of people in one team in the National Security Council (not CDC, contrary to what toomuchtodo claims) hierarchy, that the new National Security Advisor reassigned to related agencies, as part of a desire to have his own hierarchical structure. Ziemer resigned because he wanted to keep his team the way it was.

COVID19 was not a surprise; that is, it was known to exist in China some time before the first cases appeared in the US. It is not unreasonable for a government to assemble a team to respond to something like a pandemic as needed, as opposed to having people dedicated solely to the purpose and nothing else. And that's exactly what the US did, implementing the ban on non-American travelers who'd been to China in late January, among other things.

You may or may not agree with this. But please don't claim that this is somehow prima facie proof of the Trump administration's malfeasance/evilness.

PS - No, Trump did not "cut the CDC budget" either. https://apnews.com/d36d6c4de29f4d04beda3db00cb46104

PPS - Trump was not acquitted in the Senate until February 5. Thought experiment: What do you think would have happened if he had implemented the only thing that would have 100% kept COVID19 out of the US, completely shut down all borders (including with Canada) before January 15, the day "patient zero" entered Seattle from Wuhan? (The WHO was still stating that person-to-person contact for COVID19 did not seem to be occurring.)
