I'd be fine with an "UI dictatorship" or standardization if it gave us better UI and UX. Gnome's "dictatorship" has only brought bad experiences and inappropriate interfaces.
They list the following known issues:

1) Changes in testing will affect numbers.

2) The delay between infection and testing is ignored so actual Rt values are delayed by some amount.

Both are huge actual issues.
I think this specific flow of creating a post and then receiving non-public replies back isn't normal on reddit or fb groups. I don't doubt it's possible!

Do correct me if I'm wrong.

You might not want to throw that stone from the glass house that is the C standard library or the C++ standard library.

Both of those have had vicious holes (memcpy/memmove anyone? s/f/printf? I can go on and on ...) that STILL aren't fixed (at least most implementation now just pass memcpy to memmove and be done with it). And part of the reason why musl and glibc are incompatible is that they disagree on certain things that produce vulnerabilities.
Imagine an uncontrolled intersection. The Robotaxi is approaching from one direction. In the opposite direction is a cyclist who intends to turn left across the Robotaxi. There is also a pedestrian that may or may not cross the street, and another vehicle about to cross in front of the Robotaxi from the other direction. There are a huge number of ways this scenario can play out, and any decision made by one agent can affect the behaviors of all the others, compounding it's complexity. Humans can game out these situations intuitively, but current AI cannot read deep enough into the matrix to deal with these situations quickly and reliably.
/r/toastme is one reddit example.
The Cliqz browser implements the Dat protocol. Here's a writeup on the implementation: https://0x65.dev/blog/2020-03-02/implementing-the-dat-protoc...

Disclosure: I work at Cliqz.
The key aspect of WORM here is that the data you write is not modified in-place or overwritten in part; it stays put until deleted. That's true of most backup strategies, whether or not they generate a lot of read traffic to compute incremental backups. The "read many" part of WORM is usually never about how many actual reads are performed, but about the capability to handle them better than multiple writes.
Psychoanalysis: psychologists that don't do experiments, according to my university. Because of this they were briefly covered during one lecture and then completely tossed aside.

Psychology != experimental psychology

Yes, experimental psychologists have a field that almost completely crumbled, but at least they (1) admitted it and (2) some of them try to conduct science and succeed at it (most don't succeed unfortunately as virtually nothing is reproduced).

So how to deal with psychoanalists? What I did: see them as entertaining inspiration for philosophical thoughts. But you can also skip to his section "why psychoanalysis" [1]. I wasn't impressed. Also, those bullets are questionable.

So beware: in my opinion, this talk is not precise in terms of scientific accuracy, but it might be fun to use as an inspirational source.

Would love to see this data as well. We applied within 15 minutes of our bank, First Republic, opening up applications on April 3rd. Yesterday we got a notification they were unable to submit it before funds ran out and now I have to go in Monday and lay off employees. Horrible experience and terrible customer service from First Republic. I guess since we are a startup they prioritized other businesses.
That is seriously impressive for that short amount of time, fantastic work!

I did comment elsewhere in this thread, but have since deleted, but I just had another question:

Can you say a bit more about the OSS libraries I’m always looking for tools to help with comments in my projects!
Ask HN: What is a good alternative to Google Adsense?
We have a website that we are trying to monetize with ads. Google Adsense has been rejecting us due to Covid delays.

What are the best alternatives to Adsense? Has anyone done a proper study of CPM among the top ad networks? Everything I find online is so spammy and hard to ascertain legitimacy.

This works really well, nice! Do you plan iPad support? It’s frustrating that I can’t send my email in a reply, there was a message I’d have liked to give my email and start a conversation. I understand the downside of that, but it’s frustrating to feel I could help someone and not be able to. One other thing, it’s not obvious what the number next to the skip button is about - I assumed it was a limited number of skips and was trying to figure out how they worked at first.
NAS drives will more readily return errors for individual IO commands. That's not the same thing as the drive saying it has failed generally, though primitive RAID controllers often treat any IO failure as a whole-drive failure.
In-n-out fries must be eaten while they're hot. In that state they are delicious. The precipitous decline in quality upon cooling occurs because they are made by frying potato pieces rather than by assembling various starches in a laboratory.

> if the virus has mutated

From the article: "The new coronavirus is mutating—but that’s not a bad thing"

* "Just because the virus is mutating doesn’t mean that it’s suddenly going to become more dangerous… the bulk of the mutations that appear as a virus spreads are either harmful to the virus itself (meaning it is less likely to survive or replicate) or don’t change how it functions."

https://www.popsci.com/story/health/covid-19-coronavirus-mut...

From the study: "High incidence of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection"

* "the hospital length of stay for patients with a large number of transmission chains is shortening, indicated that the toxicity of SARS-CoV-2 may be reducing in the process of transmission.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.16.20037259v...

From the summary post for: "Discovery of a 382-nt deletion during the early evolution of SARS-CoV-2"

* "The researchers sequenced the genome of a number of COVID19 viruses from a series of infected patients from Singapore. They found that the viral genome had a large deletion that was also witnessed in past epidemics of related viruses (MERS, SARS), especially later in the epidemic. The form with the deletion was less infective and has been attributed to the dying out of these past epidemics. In other words, COVID19 seems to be following the same evolutionary trajectory.

Do you have the causality backwards. The laboratory is in that region because there are local disease caring populations of animals. That’s what they study.

Unity could use some better audio viz libraries!
It's not about how much money, but rather how to spend it. Well, okay, to spend money some way you first need it, but the amount could be quite small.

Most of the knowledge is already available online for free. (There are still some gaps that would be nice to fill, for example lessons for small kids whose first language is not English.) The problem is rather navigating the abundance of information.

First, to distinguish genuine knowledge from crackpottery. Like, most of us probably know that 99% of videos on YouTube containing "quantum" in their titles are pure nonsense. But a smart 13 years old kid doesn't know that yet, and can waste a lot of time gaining negative knowledge (misconceptions that later require time and work to unlearn). We know that in case of doubt, the materials published by MIT are most likely solid. For that kid, even this is not necessarily obvious; it would be better to tell them explicitly.

Second, lessons have prerequisites. I can find an interesting lesson, only to realize that I actually can't follow it, because it uses symbols and concepts I don't understand, and I don't even know how that missing part of knowledge is called. It would be great to have some guidance of form "you can learn X by watching Y, but first you need to understand M and N which you can learn by watching P and Q, etc.". A tech-tree of knowledge, kind of.

For these two things, you don't actually need a school system. A website could be enough: a page for each topic, internal links to prerequisite topics, external links for educational resources checked for quality. You would need some budget for this, but I assume that for costs similar to running one school, you could serve the entire nation. -- And it wouldn't be only for the smart kids; the average kids could use it, too. Everyone could progress at their own speed. Actually, it would be even better if all the kids would use it, because then you wouldn't have to look specifically for the smart kids and advertise it to them, they would simply learn about it from kids around them.

Now you can add extra services, like a silent place to go study if you don't have such place at home, a computer with an internet connection is you don't have one at home. Places to meet people studying the same topic. Etc. This all would be nice to have. I am just saying that the minimum solution that could help maybe 80% of gifted kids could actually be made very cheaply.
The Hubble telescope and a couple of Space Shuttle orbiters would like to a word with you.
6.5.16.1 is the “rule that only apply to “lvalue = lvalue;” assignments and is not relevant here”

It does not apply to “lvalue = 1;” or to “lvalue = 2;”, which are the two relevant assignments in the example in the article.

For context, I think I made it clear in the article that the program being discussed is UB, and therefore that the compiler is not to blame. But since I wrote this article, I have had people telling me “The complaint isn't about alignment at all, it's that the optimizer assumes that two pointers to the same basic type cannot overlap in memory”.

My reply to this specific sentence is:

No. You are wrong. There are no words in the standard that say that “basic types cannot overlap in memory”. There is not even a notion of “basic type”. There are clauses about pointer alignment, that are explicitly cited in the article, and there are clauses about strict aliasing, that are shown in the article not to be the reason for GCC optimizing the program by using -fno-strict-aliasing. There are no rules about “basic types not overlapping” in the C standard. You only think there are. Or please cite them. (6.5.16.1 is a rule about assignment, it only applies for the code pattern lvalue1 = lvalue2;)

Covid-19 mutates about 2x a month. https://bedford.io/blog/ncov-cryptic-transmission/

This doesn't mean the virus has changed enough for your body to not recognize it. But it can be used to map transmission chains.

We know where Covid-19 started, but scientists have also used mutation rates to correct our understanding of when HIV jumped to humans.

There is almost nothing I miss about spinning disks, but having an audible indication that something was going wrong was helpful. I refer to inappropriate disk usage (too little or too much) rather than the noises that preceded a disk death.
The reported specificity and sensitivity of RT-PCR testing is quite good, but obviously not 100%. RT-PCR is considered the "gold standard" in viral testing.

If you want to contact trace, we would need many orders of magnitude more testing.

If you want to know prevalence over time, and therefore Rt, we could ascertain it very accurately with much less testing, but it would need to be done against statistically valid and unbiased random samples of the population, not at all what is going on today.

Since the testing we are doing today doesn't really satisfy either condition, and there's also no front-line approved treatments for those that are definitively diagnosed (rather, we treat the symptoms, which are self-evident), frankly I'm not sure I understand the extreme focus on testing.
That's good to know, do you have all this in some other form than Tweets?

I can see that having them as Tweets is delicious if you participate because you can just RT them with context but I'm the sort of person who likes big piles of data to contemplate at once.
As often happens, your later comment contains material that would have made for a more substantive comment originally.

This is one reason the guidelines include: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive." Cats are one hell of a divisive topic. (So are dogs, but I think less so.) It maybe doesn't quite sink to the pit with bicyclists vs. drivers but it's close.

This HN post is linking to the protocol docs. Scuttlebutt.nz is about the social network built on top of them. More importantly it's the most significant thing that uses the protocol. The "apps" that use the protocol are, in practice, just plugins that work in one particular app (somewhat geeky app) and that particular app is primarily a client for the social network.
I'll be eager not to correct you: it's such a complex tangle that it's a liability. Also, it is huge, and full of inconsistencies that sweep through the documentation, code, interfaces... It guarantees that anyone that wants to use this professionally needs help sooner or later -- and you can guess where that help comes from.
> Thus I think it is absolutely a bug.

While I agree with your rationale, I disagree with it's application in this case. Changing this compiler behavior won't get rid of alignment-related crashes - it'll just make them harder for me to reproduce / debug because I'll have to get coredumps and symbols off of my ARM hardware instead.

> [...] MSVC [...]

Has it's own history of alignment issues as well FWIW, although I'm happy to see that v19 seems to error out on __declspec(align(...))ments it won't guarantee for parameters - whereas that used to be a mere warning. A warning that was missing and wouldn't trigger in at least one MSVC version, which caused it's share of debugging sessions for me: https://clang.godbolt.org/z/hykGEm

Lawyer up. Internet advice is fine but it's definitely time to get a lawyer you trust on your side and pay them for the service of explaining this shit to you; as well as all the other jobs they'll do.
Movdqu vs movdqa is just one of the possible bad things that can happen when misaligned data is erroneously used. And it will segfault consistently which is a good thing which means that will be caught early in testing. You want compilers to produce binaries that will catch mistakes early in testing, not binaries that work 99.99% of the time and fail in obscure ways.
What are the other larger players (non-niche?)
Presenting a subset of the information to let the uninformed jump to favorable conclusions for the presenter is not a new marketing strategy. If there's no indication about the true level of progress, what is the purpose of the demo?
Thanks for the feedback. I'm so sorry for the frustration caused. I'll address it!

If you're curious where that comes from, the app is built with Flutter, which tries to mimic native behavior. Text editing is something that's not quite there yet, unfortunately, so I'll have to manually make fixes.
Can you explain why? I use lambdas often and they seem to solve the problems they're meant for well.
I'm not sure that "we might not be measuring the right thing in the first place" is the kind of error that can be sufficiently accounted for by error bars.

That herd immunity equation is really only useful in the context of vaccination when there's no active epidemic.

With an active scenario like this, it's just the point where the number of people infected per day stops going up. You still end up with like 90%+ of people getting sick before it finally peters out.
"The KCDC said it took 13.5 days on average for people to be retested positive for COVID-19 after being released from quarantine."

I remember reading about that in Cryptonomicon, I knew it was technically possible but I didn't realise it actually worked.
Anyone else think this was Russia Today from the URL on first glance?
Very true. Sadly, this is the main approach the non-cryptographic PRNG community has at the moment.

On the plus side, those tests are fairly extensive and brutal nowadays. They detect anomalies in cryptographic algorithms that were still used a decade ago, such as arc4random().

But one thing I hint at at the end is that I hope, and anticipate, to see more accurate quality measurement tools in the future.

> Truly negative sides become more noticeable much later when it’s too late.

I slept poorly for years, so I suspect I can guess some of these, but I'm curious which side effects you meant. It's hard for me to know what negative changes are a result from normal aging and which wouldn't be there if I had managed my sleeping better.
