If those numbers were in any way real world relevant, the server market would be flooded with ARM servers. 80% power savings for the same computing power would revolutionize data centers in terms of power and cooling needed.
>>evidence (ie, science)

>An abrupt leap.

Not at all, it seems more that you have a wrong conception what science means. Science is all about evidence, the scientific method is to make observations, then inductive hypotheses that are then tested. All this relies on using evidence. Peer review is one process how evidence can be evaluated, but definitely not the only one. Science is much older than peer review.

I know it's not quite that simple but isn't OpenSSL exactly an example of how a bug in open source software was found and fixed? Of course it took a while and the software was already extremely widely used at that point but bugs happen and at least it's not just lying around unfixed. I can't remember bugs in closed software getting the same kind of exposure.

Any protection greater than zero is still some protection. Reducing odds of getting it by 0.01% is a huge number of people at scale when you're estimating over a million people dying and 100+ million getting it.
What is actually ironic here is commenters on a technology-driven site dismissing the OG of algorithms used to optimize a real-world, complex business problem -- the FICO credit score. Long before PageRank or Netflix's $1 million prize or any HFT firms, Fair, Isaac & Co. designed a revolutionary, data-driven product that massively reduced banks' lending risk while saving them enormous amounts of time. It also removed bankers' personal biases out of the equation. While it may not be perfect, nobody has come up with a better system and adoption is near-universal, with many more applications than it was originally designed for.

Education is also vastly more expensive in the US than elsewhere, as is malpractice insurance (and everything legal).

It's not just that Sweden has a higher death rate but that Sweden's death shows a sharp exponential rise still. This effectively in the last few days, a week ago Sweden could be pointed to as a "miracle".

The other countries that have seen these exponential indeed effectively panic and impose any measure they can - social distancing and lock since that's all they have.

As people point out, there's no absolute evidence that quarantines, lock-downs or parachutes save lives yet common sense still dictates they do more than nothing and when a disaster is approaching, do you really want to say you failed to do that could have averted mass deaths?

Moreover, the Sweden versus the other Nordic countries does seem like a better comparison because these countries arguably have similar levels of relative isolation from the world, similar health care systems and similar cultures.

Nothing substantive has changed, and Zoom will still have the capability to intercept and eavesdrop on your calls. Unless companies using this have no IP to protect or operate exclusively in China, Zoom is an awful idea and a major risk.

We simply cannot talk about Zoom without mentioning China. The company has extremely deep ties to the country and China is known for large-scale theft of intellectual property and eavesdropping.

Even if Zoom executives wouldn't hand this information over to the CCP, what's to stop the CCP from pressuring a developer or planting one?

I'm not sure confident those inefficiencies are as easy to solve as you think. I've work on several projects where the goal was to overhaul a really old webapp. The end result usually ends up being at at the same level of performance as the original design. Worse, management often demands a vast increase in features, which makes the product slower, not faster.

Not to say we don't find big performance gains here and there. But the trend does seem to be heading towards optimization and not revolutionary improvements.

Remember to question your assumptions. "The Amish health care system" is like saying "The Christian church system".

> For people who rarely leave their hometown and avoid modern technology, a train trip to Mexico must be a scary experience.

You mean when they're not traveling all over the states to do business with the English, or carting themselves around in wagons with electric lights, or fueling their diesel generators to power batteries to run power tools and heavy machinery they use to create products for English customers? .... I'm pretty sure boarding transport technology that's been around since well before the 16th century to talk to "outsiders" is nowhere near scary to them (especially after Rumspringa, for example).

It's easy to get into a romantic, over-simplified idea of a general people based on some preconceived notions about them, and those can often cloud further ideas and lead to things like cherry-picking data to support a theory that "sounds right".
Indeed.. I have been a Ubuntu user for some time, but have recently switched to KDE due to the latest Ubuntu desktop experiments which really put me off.
After installing KDE Plasma, which I thought was a single DE, I was surprised to learn that, on the login page, I can actually select different DEs, like Cinnamon, Plasma, Ubuntu, Unity, Wayland... that's really amazing! I have played around with Plasma and Cinnamon, and decided to stick with Cinnamon (after tweaking it with the dark theme, it looks awesome). So happy to have many choices though.

I wonder why people still feel the need to come up with more DEs instead of contributing to the plenty of existing ones...

I absolutely agree with the killer application part, even for business applications they still don't have any idea.

On their website you have a video that displays several use cases that don't make sense if you really think about them.

Just to dissect the first example where doctors look at a low resolution brain over a surgery table. I don't know why there is a woman without a device who thinks: "why are those three people looking over me here?". But I think the association is some kind of neurosurgery.

* Neurosurgeons know how a brain looks like inside, that's anatomy.

* If this depicts the CT or MRT of the woman, those are evaluated on high resolutions displays by radiologists.

* It's difficult to keep those devices sterile in a hospital environment.

Let's extend this into surgery. "Hey cool you can look inside the brain in real time". Why would a display not be enough in any other case?

* Doctors don't wear a heavy device with a limited field of view during a 5h surgery.

* There are devices with a high resolution display, that can show you in real time where you are inside the brain. I tried this device once with a melon, I could make the mental transition within a minute. Now imagine a neurosurgeon with all his skill.

* What if there is a problem with the image. Right now the doctor can look from the display inside the real brain and check if something is off. You can't take the unobstructed view from a doctor here.

The other two examples in the video are not much more convincing. The second one is solved by a warehouse navigation device. Maybe the last one, but a car showroom usually has a real car you can drive.... Even without it a VR Headset would solve the same issue. Why do they have to see their surroundings?

After so many years and that much money, that's the best they came up with?

I used the one from Microsoft in a museum, that could in theory be interesting. Make it more interactive. You had to stand at an exact position, it couldn't interact with its surroundings and my nose hurt because it was so heavy. I think the battery was empty after 15 minutes.

Just the complexity building a fully interactive museum, all the 3D artists and programmers that would take. What else you could improve with those resources to enhance the experience?
Strong leadership and science are orthogonal dimensions. You can have strong leadership that makes decisions based on evidence and scientific arguments, or not. I would argue the first is always better than the second.

Again in the current crisis the decisions based on scientific evidence (pandemic models developed previously) was to act early and quickly with lots of testing. Most countries did not follow this, but I would say this had nothing to do with what the "scientific approach" was.

Somehow people here conflate scientific with need to wait/establish all information.

However in the end science is a method to establish truth/knowledge about the world around us. It can guide our decisions, but it's not a decision making method.

It definitely makes sense, recurrence relation does have its own polynomial. Even the naive polynomial multiplication is very fast.

Now, what I'm wondering is if this is possible to do with adjacency matrices of graphs.

Recently I was calculating the number of paths of a knight going from one position to another in K moves. Ended up doing O(N^6 log K) (N is the chessboard dimension) which was fast enough for a small chessboard but maybe there's a way to turn that adjacency matrix to a polynomial and do the same.

I read a blog analyzing the numbers out of California, which said that they'd made some pretty critical errors; namely, it wasn't clear what the false-positive rate of their test was, and that even a fairly small false-positive rate would put "0" within their error bars.

Germany is running nearly half a million tests per week now against a population of 83 million. I can believe that their true infection number is 2 or maybe even 3 times the official number, but I have a pretty hard time believing 20x.

Something to consider Intel's TDP is given at base clock - boost is irrelevant (i.e. they skew the facts the CPUs are way more toasty than TDP). Increasing the frequency requires more voltage, power is proportional to frequency and square of the voltage.

Other than that - x86 cores (skylake) are generally more powerful per clock than any Arm.

I'd not trust geekbench a bit between different platforms. for example:

The LZMA workload compresses and decompresses a 2399KB HTML ebook using the LZMA compression algorithm with a dictionary size of 2048KB. The workload uses the LZMA SDK for the implementation of the core LZMA algorithm.
The test effectively is about L2/3 cache sizes, if it fits there - great result, if not - a horrid one.

Most of the testing lacks any specific data, just what library they use.
Hi, Notify17 author here :)

I just wanted to point out that there is not a single part of the flow which is not encrypted at rest, and, apart from text-processing areas, in transit.

All user-content arguments sent to the hook endpoints (to generate notifications) are obscured for the whole flow of the notification generation. Which causes trouble when trying to debug issues, but oh well, I believe privacy is more important than anything else in this context.

I dream for this tool to be used by devops people (I'm mainly one of them!), so I value the privacy element in this project above all. It happens that I end up asking users "what the hell did you type there to break things to much" :D

For the matter of logs, I'm so happy about having used Go for this project, because I can mask fields here and there nicely (e.g. https://github.com/cmaster11/structs/blob/master/structs.go#... ).

Can confirm. Cycling in Paris can feel downright dangerous on the roads, and even the existing cycle paths can feel a bit dangerous as tourists (in particular, but not always, in my experience) are not used to looking around for the pathways.

Yes, true, but for a hard disk at _rest_ (in a controlled environment) I posit it's failure distribution over time is dramatically favorable to Flash (especially TLC and QLC).

> Part of the reason for the lockdown was to give time for all the equipment industries to spin up. Unfortunately, the US federal government squandered that.

It wasn’t an accident. The equipment was stolen (“seized”) by the DHS en route to hospitals and then funneled to friends of those in the federal government to be resold on the open market: look up “blue flame medical” if you want to know more.

I fully believe the number of doctors allowed to start practicing medicine is heavily controlled using arbitrary rationales and spurious education / training thresholds.

There's no need for so much garbage bureaucracy in medical pedagogy especially when so many doctors are paid insanely lofty salaries.

There's a fundamental problem with the way public restrooms are used. A lot of restrooms still have doors that require opening by hand to get inside one. When someone needs to wash their hands because their hands are dirty, they're going to have to touch the doorknob with those dirty hands because the place to wash their dirty hands is on the inside.

Secondly, when most people need to go into a stall for a #2, they don't wash their hands before they use their hands to open the stall and then do their thing inside. They wash their hands after. Another aspect is the use of toilet paper from one toilet paper roll. You grab it to get some paper to clean your ass, then you touch it again some more. Then you go up, pull your pants up and then open the stall with your hands, then you finally wash your hands. Bathroom stalls can often be cramped too so some people can't operate without possibly rubbing against the stall walls, which can be pretty gross. Another flaw is that toilets get flushed with the toilet cover open. Imagine all the shit particles that get shot all around the stall.
