Image stabilization and stacking both started in SLR's before phone cameras were doing it. The best image stabilization is still opto-mechanical, of course.

Nobody fakes depth of field that well, and super resolution (the algorithmic kind, not the real kind) doesn't work that well either. We've been doing research in those areas for 25+ years now, and while some real progress has been made it's not magic.

Phone cameras are doing a lot of heroic stuff to get around the limitations of their optics, and it results in "hey, that's not bad". Nothing wrong with that!

But I don't see why you would want to see that stuff in a digital SLR, say, though - if you take your photography seriously enough to lug that thing around, you're doing post processing on a computer anyway, and you can do all that stuff better there (at least in theory). Now if you were asking why photo processing software on your desktop wasn't absorbing or improving on everything in the phones, that would make more sense to me.
This is why FDA is not recommending it as a treatment for everyone, only off-label.

That phrasing was somewhat tongue in cheek, but you've hit the main problem. Natural languages are constantly mixing, evolving, mutating, and diversifying. As a result they pick up loads of sometimes temporary inconsistencies and regional variances that simply require the person learning it to memorize an ever changing set of arbitrary rules.

Computer languages on the other hand are far more static, so once you've learned its typically very simple grammar and vocabulary you are done save for a handful of tweaks in major version updates that happen only once every few years.
I'm surprised it's that low.

I did. My understanding is that they are banned now from selling non-essential goods as long as - or at least, because of - the proper health requirements are not fulfilled. The issue is not that they sold non-essential items in the first place. This is not a conflict like with gamestop misdeclaring their brick-and-mortar store activity as essential. The ban is the effect of other ascribed transgressions, the non-essential sales are not the cause.

I should have written: "They were free to ship whatever they want ...".

An IP address wouldn't be good enough to perform identification, but it would likely be good enough to perform reidentification.

I sometimes want to leave the industry because I can't seem to find a job dealing with interesting problems. I enjoy Rust and C, working with OS and machine details, but there don't seem to be any such jobs that pay as well as busting out features for a SAAS web app in a dynamic language. And it consistently blows my mind how everyone else seems to be so enthralled with "providing a positive customer experience," i.e. making as much profit as possible with whatever product necessary. I've felt like the only cynic at my last several companies, and feel guilty for not being able to give more of a shit.

NixPkgs amongst other things replace rpm/deb packages - and having a package install declared in a git repo is awesome compared to installing a pre-packaged compressed blob.

Nixos keeps the entire system state based on a declaration and lets you move back/forward on whole system configurations super quick.

Ansible and salt does not really declare a complete system state but rather try to manipulate the underlying system.
Ansible keeps no state at all actually.

Nixos+pkg is all about declaring and keeping a state of a machine as much as reasonably possible. It has it’s flaws but the end result is still much more coherent and predictable compared to traditional configuration management.

Baseball is a bit different because there is only one winning team. Those people can still all bat (or whatever) much much better than the average qualified electrician can wire.

Many of those people testing positive were presymptomatic (some even developed symptoms during the follow-up period). It typically takes several days to develop symptoms.

Also worth considering is the period mentioned in the correspondence is one in which there was very fast exponential growth. When more of the positive cases are recent, it's only normal that they don't show symptoms yet.

Besides the test used showing a lot of false positives, the population of pregnant women looked at had a much higher rate of symptomatic infections 1 month ago than the entire population does today... we should be very cautious about concluding much from that sample.

Sadly, it doesn't seem to be uncommon for a company (even Apple) to hit a home run and not understand why it was so successful. And then they're unable to follow up on it.

I used GitLab for years. That changed a few months ago. I deleted my account and now use GitHub. I advocate everywhere I can to choose GitHub over GitLab, or to migrate away from GitLab if it's already in use. These changes just make me more convinced that GitLab is on a path to oblivion.

I put up with GitLab's slow interface, relatively poor UX, and relative lack of community because I wanted a trustworthy product that respected the privacy and security of my critical tooling and to support a company with a benign business model.

After the tracking debacle a few months ago, it became clear to me that GitLab isn't trustworthy. They're looking for an acquisition, maybe an IPO, and exploiting users (and even on-prem customers!) is clearly going to be part of that game plan.

So why stick with the crappier alternative? If I'm getting sold out either way, I might as well use the superior product.

Maybe I could be convinced to switch back, though. @sytse did you fire Paul Machle yet? If not, then obviously Paul was merely taking the heat for doing what you want, and there is just no way I can ever trust GitLab.

EDIT: Nope, looks like that goober is still the CFO: https://gitlab.com/pmachle . Oh well, bye bye GitLab! I hope you die and make some more room for SourceHut. :)
What is more amazing is their managers who have figured out how to work the system are not telling people that. Your job should be helping your people get where they want to go so if they can't get there tell them why.

I've wasted years working hard and trying to gain influence only to realize that the areas I was getting influence in didn't matter to anyone so I was condemned to get good jobs but no promotion. It has been hard to let go and find a path with real influence. Where I was going is one of those areas that only seen if not done. Lesson learned though : the guy who created the bad design requiring them to come in right before release and work a weekend is rewarded above the guy who wrote good code that works...
South Korea’s fatality ratio at the time was obviously lagging, and has since gone above 1%. The true infection fatality rate might still be low but certainly the final case fatality rate won’t be, even with their mass testing.
If freewill is so sacred why does the OT and NT have so many examples of freewill being removed?

Do you think this mental health app could help people?
It's already been politicized, it's too late. The minute that politicians started advocating for a treatment before there was any scientific backing, that ship sailed.

Also, this study does NOT suggest that patient outcome is improved by 10% or more. Not in any way. Fewer patients died within the timeframe of this study, but more patients on the drug experienced ARDS; not to mention that 9 patients had to be removed from the study due to cardiac effects of the drug.
"The best camera is the one you have with you"

Right, which is why the low end consumer camera market has basically died. For average use, a phone is already "good enough".

So another plausible path is that the damage has already been done, and what is left of the prosumer and pro level stuff will remain stable.

Note, I'm not saying that I think that is what will happen, I haven't thought about it much. But there is nothing in current tech development that suggests the phones will bridge that gap (to prosumer level image quality) any time soon...

> Title of the paper could (with a tongue firmly in cheek) be called, "Weak evidence for effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine but our sample was likely too small for it to pass a T-test"

It would be irresponsible to choose an experimental design (like significance level) and then use wishy-washy language ("weak evidence") to work around it when the study criteria aren't met.

This would be more akin to the headline from the press release for the study from the university PR office.

Putting together a decent automated test suite is possible, but is a significant project for an individual drive reviewer. And any test suite you create is only good for a few years at most before you have to start worrying about new technologies that change performance or power characteristics in a way your tests can't capture. If you were putting together a hard drive test suite a few years ago to use for reviewing consumer/prosumer desktop and NAS drives, testing specifically for SMR behavior may not have been on your radar.
