The government investigated that back during WWII. Unfortunately, the north slope is one of the foggiest, darkest places on earth. Additionally, the soil is thin and permafrost runs nearly right up to the surface. The local environment provides literally nothing to work with, so it was considered uneconomical.

1. What empirical data we have suggests that the 'good suffix' rule engages fairly rarely; that's why the -Horspool variant wins most tests. (It isn't just that you don't have to build Delta2, it also saves a lot of comparisons in the algorithm itself for most inputs.)

Hi, I'm a developer at NexOptic[0] and we are a company that was deeply inspired by this paper when it was first published. We had a lot of early success when attempting to replicate the results on our own and ended up running with it, and extending it into our own product line under our ALIIS brand of AI powered solutions.

For those curious, our current approach differs in some very significant ways to the author's implementation, such as performing our denoising and enhancement on a raw bayer -> raw bayer basis with a separate pipeline for tone mapping, white-balance, and HDR enhancement. As well, we explored a fair amount of different architectures for the CNN and came to the conclusion that a heavily mixed multi-resolution layering solution produces superior results.

As other commentators have pointed out, the most interesting part of it is really coming to terms that, as war1025 pointed out, "The message has an entropy limit, but the message isn't the whole dataset." It is incredibly powerful what can be accomplished with even extraordinarily noisy information as long as one has a extremely "knowledge packed" prior.

If anyone has any questions about our research in this space, please feel free to ask.

Banks will receive fees based on the loan amount. The fee % does decrease at higher values but given each loan has to be manually processed by a member of the bank staff, it would make sense to process a small number of larger loans in the short time window to maximize fees.

To repeat you in plainer English: the serum test isn't infallible and reports "infected", incorrectly, for uninfected patients. It does this at some rate that is very near, or perhaps larger than, the fraction of "true" infected patients they report in their results.

Teasing out data from all that noise requires that the false positive error rate be measured very accurately. And they didn't do that, so really this doesn't tell us much.

Edit: Alternatively, borrowing jargon from a more common field around here: the measured infection rate of ~3% is very close to the noise floor of the experiment. It might be that, or it might be near zero, and we can't tell the difference. This study is very good evidence that the infection fraction is not much larger, however. We can easily rule out high infection rates like the 30% numbers that seems to get thrown around.

11 employees, monthly payroll under 100k we applied the moment the program was opened by our bank (April 3rd). We knew the funds would go fast so we put our all into getting our application info in as soon as possible.

I think we focus too much on the "should"s and not enough on the mechanisms that make things like public healthcare, public transpo, etc. a reality. Obviously these standards of living cost money. Great. Which is why we have taxes. Great. And in order to have tax revenue, we need productive companies/citizens. Great. So we need to focus on keeping tax revenue high enough to afford healthcare for all including those who can't work or decide not to work. This means keeping the tax rate high enough (Democrats tend to emphasize this). This also means keeping the taxable base high (Republicans tend to emphasize this). These two things are a balance because if taxes are too high, the taxable base (companies/citizens) moves elsewhere. We've seen this at a country/company level and a state/citizen level recently. And if taxes are too low, we cannot afford to provide essential services. Saying that we "should" have this or that without consideration of the delicate balance of how we pay for it seems shortsighted to me. And I know people here are smart, so let's consider the full breadth of the topic and not oversimplify.

> ...because people are introducing restrictions to keep the number of cases down

I mean, yes, I do agree that social distancing is a good idea and that we should continue to do so. I acknowledged that much. But my real point here is that hospital capacity can scale up significantly higher than you might assume. Average level of care goes down for each person, but that's mostly fine. We can't treat people for this disease, so all the hospitals are doing is trying to keep people alive long enough to get over it themselves. A half hearted benefit of this is that since there isn't much you can do, you don't have to do much to help people as best as possible.

> Ok, but at least mine I told you what the exact numbers are and where they came from. What are your numbers, and where did they come from?

When I say your mental model is meaningless, I'm referring to "which 20-40 people do you want to die so that the rest can go back to work". You're thinking in averages, and that's not the case. The CFR of any population is going to be determined, foremost by the age distribution. I don't know if this is still true, but a while ago the CFR in italy was lower in every age group relative to China but worse overall due to age group differences and simpsons paradox. The concept of death rate is truly meaningless. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying its a pointless discussion. But sure, range of 0.5%-7% for a randomly chosen locale. Less than 1% average for those under 60 years old across the board.

For the record, I don't think rushing to herd immunity makes sense either, but there is a middleground.

> It is IRRESPONSIBLE to recommend a course of action without thinking through the consequences. Just wishing that 5% of people won't die isn't going to prevent those people from dying.

I think its pretty naive to say it's irresponsible to not have explicit threats on the disease but hand wave explicit threats on the economic consequences. I think it's better to let a 90 year old person die than to throw a 20 year old into poverty personally. Globalism is complicated. Depressions can cause famines, the rise of violent authoritarianism, and just general despair even if your particular society holds together. Poverty sucks, and it disproportionately hurts people who are already poor or in poor countries.

The article is a bit inconsistent on its claims. But in the paper the authors seem to say that intact DNA sequences could exist:

"... to this date, the possible preservation of original proteins and DNA in deep time has not been convincingly eliminated with data."

"Our data support the hypothesis that calcified cartilage is preserved at the molecular level in this Mesozoic material, and suggest that remnants of once-living chondrocytes, including their DNA, may preserve for millions of years."

I think the biggest concern with this sale is around pricing more than "correctness of use", where I agree with you the ship has long sailed.

Selling PIR to a for-profit company, a private equity firm no less, means you can pretty much 100% guarantee that in the future pricing would be increasingly profit-driven.

Sand weighs ~100 lbs per cubic ft.

37 tons = 74000 lbs or 740 cubic ft

740*4 gets you 2960 sq. feet.

The city says the park is 14,000 sq feet. [1]

There might be something to the hernia idea. I noticed my solar plexus area can stick out slightly at times (especially when I was leaning back last night).

If I do have it, I think it's still pretty minor, at least compared to some pictures of hiatal and epigastric hernias I see online. It hasn't ever stuck out that far, and no doctor has ever noticed a problem.

What is a reasonable lower limit on latency that I could expect from a GPU pipeline?

For example, I know that if I use WebGL and issue a `readPixels` call then that seems to take on the order of 1 to 10 milliseconds no matter what I do. This suggests that if I needed to react to something in under 100 microseconds, I probably shouldn't have the computation of the reaction involve WebGL. But is that true of GPU compute in general, or just an artifact of the abstraction exposed by WebGL?

The problem with this thinking is that the states are, for all practical purposes, not able to freely experiment with the things they need to. I agree that there is often no one-size-fits-all solution, but states can't always implement solutions that fit their needs, not because they aren't capable, but because of federal restrictions.

For example, the CA legislature was thinking about a single-payer healthcare bill for CA. Unfortunately, they can't do it on their own: they need special dispensation from the US Congress (and possibly the executive branch? I don't recall the details exactly) to use Medicare dollars in a way contrary to federal rules. That's unlikely to happen in the current political climate.

A cause of this deadlock is that federal taxes aren't optional. Even if CA wants to handle something for itself, it can't just tell all CA residents to stop paying that particular tax to the federal government. The state does get federal money, but it comes with strings attached. Yes, CA's taxes are already some of the highest in the nation, but I'd be fine with a (big) CA tax hike for statewide universal health care if it also meant that my federal taxes would be lower (and CA would be responsible for raising more of its budget on its own, being cut off from federal healthcare-related money). But that's just not how things work.

(Overall, I think this is a good thing: me paying into the nationwide Medicare pool means that states that would otherwise be going through budget shortfalls don't suffer. But it's ridiculous that the federal government is telling my state government what it can and can't do with what's effectively its own money, while I'm subsidizing healthcare for people in other states.)

As sort of a meta-point, the USA is maybe more like 10 or 15 different countries. Sure, there's a lot of difference in needs, values, and attitudes between someone living in Wyoming vs. Baltimore, but the people who live in DC, Baltimore, San Francisco, and Chicago have a lot in common. As do people living in Wyoming and Montana. They're not the same, but they likely have enough in common for single solutions to many problems to apply equally, or equally enough. I'm encouraged by states in the same geographic area coordinating their COVID-19 response; it shows that states with similar needs can (and should!) band together to tackle common issues where the solutions are likely to be similar.
I'm honestly so surprised to see stuff like this -- from a logistics standpoint.

It's so easy -- free even! -- to just not do anything.

But someone said, "We have to stop these skaters." And brainstormed ideas. And came up with "sand". And figured out how to acquire that much sand, and how to truck a literal ton of sand to the park.

I'm not disagreeing with what they did. I'm just surprised that someone considered the cost/benefit to be worth it. Even more surprising if this was a government action instead of a private skatepark owner -- surely this must be a private skatepark. How many committees would it take to figure out this whole sand thing?

> I would say that this particular failure of categorization actually reveals a deep truth, namely, that computation is universal.

I agree that computation is universal, but I don't see drawing a distinction between discovery and invention as denying that fact. In "computation is universal" language, the distinction is just the observation that there are different kinds of computations--moreover, there are different kinds of computations in the category "human mental processes". We don't need to say they're all the same to recognize that they're all computations at bottom.
