Not a dupe. This article explains in detail how the contact tracing API can work while preserving privacy.

Random identifiers not linked to you or your device, identifiers change every 10 minutes so third parties can't track you over time, processing locally on the device instead of by Apple or Google or the government, etc.
> the goal of physical distancing is not to prevent every conceivable situation that could result in transmission, but the activities that would normally be responsible for the vast majority of transmission

You'd never know this from some of the enforcement, behavior, and policies we're seeing.

Working from home, ~closing non-essential businesses, and social distancing appear to be incredibly effective. The rest is people desperately trying to control a situation they can't.
Most actions we take outside the house require others to also take actions. Drive car w cheap gas, the delivery man and gas station attendant had to be in public rather than shelter in place. This extends the pandemic.
Thanks for writing this. I gives me hope that some people still think this way.

Some other good projects:

* Lambda calculus evaluator

* Hindley Milner typechecker for lambda calculus

* Stack based calculator (extend with variables)

* Play around with macros

* Work through Crafting Interpreters

But really in my experience the best way to get better at compilers (I can't claim to be a wizard) is to just build a goddamn compiler. Start by writing a parser (you can crib from Crafting Interpreters), writing the simplest possible typechecker for arithmetic (crib from Hindley Milner), then a code generator to whatever target you want. Code generation is tricky, but if you're generating arithmetic, it's really not that bad.

If at any point you get confused or have no clue what to do, take a deep breath and guess! Yep, just guess how to do it. I've done this quite a few times and later learned that my guess was really a dumbed down version of idk, solving the AST typing problem, or lambda lifting, or whatever. If that's too hard, scroll through other compilers and figure out what they do.

Once you get something working, celebrate! It's pretty cool seeing even arithmetic end up as code generated and run.

Then start adding other features! Add local variables. Add nested functions. Add whatever.

The secret is to treat a compiler as a challenging software development project. Because that's what it is. Start writing code and figure it out.

Granted this is not great advice if you want a usable compiler at the end. I'm just trying to learn, not make something for people to use.
Nice job. Had a similar idea after seeing the same Tweet, but based around importing the downloaded data archive, as I’m working with that myself now. Open source, so I might see if I can weave it in when I get a chance, if nobody else does it first.
This is a blessing and a curse.

It will create a president and soften public opinion on tracking people.

BUT the current positives are immense. If implemented well the most of the economy could be up and running again while keeping corona under controle like South Korea.

So overall I think it’s a positive.

You'll first have to become 'fluent' in EE, but for a physicist, it's just spending the time and getting used to things. Not terrible, long, but straightforward.

As towards what the article is talking about, you need to be trained in it. Honestly, you have to apprentice with the Greybeards (they are mostly men, but not always). There are other ways, like reading through Intel docs or the manuals for ICs or digging through forum posts from 2003. But those guys in the basement with funny newspaper clippings from the 80s or old xkcd printouts are a much better return on your time. They have tons of knowledge about specific chips and machines, stuff that is nearly impossible to recite unless prompted. You just got to spend long lunches blabbering with them, despite their strange political and societal views. Just listen to them, then write down every little thing they said. They are gold in terms of hardware.

Completely agree with my bro. We should be looking at Covid as a blessing, literally millions of old / infirm and economically useless people are going to be wiped away. These people are parasites, draining our society of resources that can and should be deployed elsewhere.

I had never heard of her before and still do not know who she is. All the same the example worked well for me. Whether I had heard of this person or not seems of little importance.

The point he was making was that talent by itself is insufficient. While presenting her as a case study he gave enough information to convince me that this person clearly was someone with a lot of physical talent. Specifically he mentioned that she was an olympic gymnast and moreover that she wasn't only excellent but one that would routinely get full marks. All the same she was not good at skiing because she lacked knowledge of skiing and practice (in his words the main factors contributors to quality).
I forgot to add a very important remark. You can opt out of companies collecting your data by blocking trackers or not using their services. Doing the same to protect your privacy from the government is tax fraud and is considered a crime.

I see so much talk here on about how companies should be left to go bankrupt because of their "shitty decisions", that "the weakest companies should be allowed to fail", and "shareholders have to hold the bag" (all from comments here).

This fundamentally misunderstands how businesses work.

If your business has a 5% profit margin, and you're supposed to have enough savings to weather, say, six months of essentially full fixed costs but zero revenue... that means you would need to save a full ten years of profits before ever returning them to shareholders, and if your company is less than ten years old, goodbye.

That's ludicrous.

It's also against the "accumulated earnings tax", where the IRS virtually requires companies to return their earnings to shareholders (via dividends/buybacks) yearly, because they're financially penalized otherwise.

Good management teams aren't supposed to save for pandemics. It's not normal business. Companies in general are unable to buy insurance against it (because there's no insurance company with enough money to pay out). Capitalism is about weeding out the better companies from the worse -- not ones that are arbitrarily more or less hit by an unpredictable global catastrophe.

Letting swathes of companies go bankrupt through zero fault of their own is economic disaster, and neither is there anything remotely fair or capitalistic about it whatsoever.

Exactly. I bet if Facebook offered a paid, ad-free version of their service, 99.9% of people would not use it. The monetary value of Facebook is $0 for most people.
Hmmm let's see — restrooms, people sitting outside (like the kids in the photo) or passing close to each other, even cars parked closer than 2m together with the window open. I'm sure there are more.

Problem with AI is even if you spend a lot of time trying to get it right, it can make choices that are confusing to us humans and illicit ridicule from the player base.
In addition to that, a further problem is the assumption that "privacy" is somehow inherently what we all want. No one wants to be "spied on" (which is how privacy-advocates portray this isse), but they're somehow OK with all this data being collected about them. Privacy-proponents seem to equate the two and use the former as a scare-tactic; but a lot of people just don't buy it. I don't buy it, and frankly, I'm quite disappointed at the lengths with which we are actively manipulated under the guise of "privacy". E.g. HTTPs-everywhere, DNS over HTTPs, PII protection laws, etc.
I think the auth method is slightly less important than the offered feature set. F.ex. you cannot ask if a specific user has sponsored you and for how much. This is probably the ONLY important feature to have an API for!

That is, that you can find them in an uncompressed form. If you fees adventurous you can probably coax the compressed data somehow through the bootloader decompressor, or the xz or deflate implementation found in the Linux kernel. Unfortunately these days modules tend to be compressed as well, but it should be possible to convice libdl to open a .ko file.

Sometimes I think the most interesting thing about (and perhaps the only deep problem concerning) software is complexity. Never before in the history of the constructed world, of human artifact realisation, has it been possible to create complexity on such scale.

For a given design problem there are usually a handful of sensible solutions, so the solution complexity is bounded below accordingly. With buildings, machines etc, the laws of physics and economics bounds potential solutions above. This is not the case with software! Given the ever increasing amounts of processing and memory available, solution complexity is bounded above only by human ingenuity (particularly the kind of ingenuity that emerges from large groups) - and occasionally the necessity for someone to actually understand what is going on.

> So, how to we get out of this trap?

Let it hurt. Unless investors feel it (and they only feel via the value of their investment), nothing will change, ever. Of course, you'll get plenty of people saying that it's unfair that this time they really have to live with the consequences of their risk management and that we should totally do that, starting tomorrow. But then you'll get the next cries next week when they've done it again.

Mind you, I'm not talking about some restaurant that's more or less getting by without generating large profits, but every company that spent their money on stock buybacks will now have to do the reverse: issue more shares to recapitalize.
Think in risk terms. When they were assessing the risk to their business posed by a pandemic then they could not foresee the govt response. An insurance policy is (almost) certain to pay out. Risk assessed and mitigated. "turns out" is not a method I use for business planning.

I'm not sure what sort of bailout they would get either. My firm does not expect a loss of earnings style bailout. I would venture that they did the right thing.

You can modify the algorithm to do n-degree contacts as well though and then you can propagate a positive test through the network accounting for time delays. Contact tracing should allow you to be more effective with fewer tests since you can ensure that people who wouldn't normally self-isolate do so.

COBOL isn’t falling apart, the systems are exceeding their design limits. “Oh if it were just written in a modern language everything would be fine”. Not true - we create modern systems every day that would choke and die if they had to scale several orders of magnitude instantly - in fact it happens about weekly when an unsuspecting link hits the HN front page. Also, I would wager 90%+ of software written today is 10-100x more fragile over time than whatever COBOL software is on these machines. What do you think the chances are of those 100 fancifully orchestrated micro-services running 10 abstraction layers up on 3rd party infrastructure are of running at all a decade from now, never mind within their original design constraints.

Old doesn’t necessarily mean worse and newer doesn’t necessarily mean better, but that logical foundation is easy to forget in a tech culture so often myopically focused on innovation(tm) and short-term profit or austerity above robustness.

The relative rarity of COBOL programmers aside, this is a just an garden variety f* up of keeping legacy systems around too long because they aren’t “broken”. And like technical debt, the money and effort to fix them, despite many warnings and pleas, is called a waste because there is no immediate benefit or profit.

Then something like this happens, and everyone forgets the shortsighted management or decision makers that ignored the risk and collected bonuses and praise for saving the Corp/taxpayers money. Those who warned about the debt coming due get nothing except being able to say “I told you so” for a few weeks until the whole thing blows over.

Coronavirus turned the “dystopian joke” of FaceID masks into a reality
The complete stay at home order in both Italy and Spain came when the situation went out of hand. Especially in Italy, milder restrictions were not respected. It would be great if people complied with milder use-the-discretion restrictions, wore masks, did not went skiing everyone together and what not. And where people complied, the more strict measures don't seem to be necessary so far.

The problem with the discretion is that it works as long as it is not abused.

Of course not. A perspective projection distorts "true" shapes, sizes, and distances more than any other common choice of map projection, and in addition leaves more than half of the globe out of sight.

Not with certainty. I'm stating the population that has been tested positive in the US. I apologise, as it's actually more like 0.16% (per https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/), so call it 0.2%. Let's even go so far as to assume that there are 10x as many people infected who haven't been recorded. That would make it 2%. Herd immunity through infection is still 30x - 40x away from where the US population is. Vaccine will still be sooner unless allowing for the hospital system to become overwhelmed.
