This article is just bad. It's ~2000 words of Ioannidis fan service sandwiching just ~200 words attempting, and failing, to sum up the controversy behind his Santa Clara study, the one statisticians were dunking on with screen shots on Twitter. If the article is supposed to be explaining the controversy behind Ioannidis' C19 work, it needs to actually engage with that controversy, not simply attribute it to a political movement.
No, but the author is obviously not a hardware person. And anecdotes about perceived loudness does not contest reality. It's why we use dBA and temperatures as benchmarks.
Nobody's questioning whether it's "the job". The point of contention is whether the job can always be done without writing complex software. And the answer is no.

Whatever the National count ends up being, NYC for example will contribute much more to it, than some county in the Midwest.

So naturally people get cheesed off. One side has been hit hard, another hasn't and both get grouped together to produce some arbit number.

Rather than counting country wise what would make more sense is global hotspot comparisons(town/city level).

The hotspots will see a lot of Excess Deaths over historic mortality rates I have no doubt.
That's your decision.

Overcounts are just as likely. Well incorrectly attributed deaths at least.

Somebody who tests positive, and then dies in a car accident meets your above criteria. For something less contrived, so does somebody who tests positive, and then subsequently dies of an unrelated heart disease.

If you wanted to fix attribution, you’d need a coroner’s investigation into each death, which certainly isn’t happening. Even testing every death that you want to count isn’t feasible, because of test shortages and the potential for false negatives. A real world example of that is in New York, where a revision in their attribution methodology had their numbers jump up massively in one day [0]. What changed was they decided to add all deaths where Covid was a suspected cause to the count.

Whether these shortcomings in methodology would lead to an overall overcount is probably unlikely. But methodology differences from one place to the next does make it difficult to compare statistics. With some factors applying downward pressure to the stats, and other factors applying upward pressure.

One thing I’m going to be interested in looking up when this is all over is 2020s influenza deaths. I have a strong suspicion that 2020 is going to have record low flu deaths, with many of them being incorrectly attributed to Covid-19.

This is what I read about the Great Smog in London. People tried to explain away deaths by saying all the people that died would have died in a few months anyways. But not supported by death records.
IME companies of that scale generally eat consumer-level buyer's remorse as a cost of doing business. Happily, probably not, but not enough to be worth resisting.

If there were a simple and intuitive way to communicate the answer then I would suggest that we probably would have figured it out in our 300+ years in which this was one of the most famous unanswered questions in mathematics.

This is a far less pleasant and high-variance process than you make it out to be.

- Posting on Twitter just begs the "get an audience" question. You can't just GET followers, it takes months or years of constant content creation, tagging, hashtagging, etc to get an audience.

- Subreddits are very hit-or-miss, and a lot of them will flat-out ban you for posting your own blog content, even if it's non-monetized OC (been there)

- Hacker News is a single-stream audience, and while occasionally you'll get onto the front page, more often content dies with a few dozen views. And it's not an especially differentiated audience.

For someone whose job is content creation, this might be realistic, but you're asking experts in a field -- whose primary job is research, and being an expert, not social media outreach -- to spend a huge portion of their time on audience generation and self-promotion. That's not realistic.

I hate Medium, for a ton of reasons, but it succeeds at making it easy for one-off or two-off writers to get a large audience without investing years of work on it. Sure, the audience isn't WORTH a lot to them (they can't monetize it, and it could get pulled from under them at the drop of a hat), but if the goal is to spread a message or get a post read, sorry, it's still a very viable outlet for doing that.

I only meant TV ads. As for trying to guess about me, I watch almost no TV in recent times, though I did watch it back in the 80's and 90's. I am basing this opinion on only small periodic encounters with recent TV, random samples. I do not see internet advertising because I use a text-only browser except when doing commercial transactions. In any event, I use local DNS, no third-party "upstream" DNS provider. I never see ads. Away from home, I generally do not access the internet from mobile phones. It is a reasonable guess, though. No doubt Americans are being targeted by advertising like never before.

I'm with you in parts. But for someone who built so many systems, the fan thing should be a non-issue. Just get a mechanically fitting replacement from somewhere, be it aliexpress, or some industrial supplier who serves end-users.
The proprietary fans aren't magical pixie dust. Should be 5 to 15$ a piece, depending on the quality. Just don't source them from the usual PC-places. THOSE are ghettos, caring and catering about nothing else but shiny LED bling bling g

I'm not sure what you are saying adds to this discussion. In fact I think it mis-directs a useful debate. All the things you are complaining about are true literally anywhere else in the developed world right now. In fact, Australia probably has more cause for them then most because self-iso and aggressive contact tracing have done so much to keep us safe so that we can be free sooner rather than later.

I still like Twitter for getting a broad range of thoughts quickly. I view it as a very rough pulse of public consciousness. Not a research paper or word from God.
Not going to argue with it being funded from oil money. I've never looked into it, but assume it's true as it makes sense.

I will say that I left Louisiana and all of my coworkers have $50k-$100k in school loan debt that I don't have to worry a about, so I definitely benefited from the program and would be paying another house note without the program.
I graduated from high school 2010 and spent most of my time sneaking around my parents' back to find alcohol and get in a quicky with my girlfriend. I guess you could say it set me back, but I was never on the ivy track in the first place. I can confidently say that I have a wildy more successful career than our valedictorian and I work for our salutatorian's biggest competitor at the same career level.

I am not nearly as smart as either of those people, but if you have drive then you'll turn out just fine. Getting into Harvard is not the end all, and I wouldn't trade those years for anything.

I agree that grades are money, but burning out at Harvard will set you back more than 'only' getting into BC.

There are two broad reasons for having interpretations. First, because the results contradict our intuitions, and there's no agreement on which ones are sensible to abandon. Second, because there are experiments that we can't perform now (and maybe ever), so there's room for different hypotheses. This would lead to different theories, not just interpretations, but often these ideas are lumped together.
No, there is no intuitive way to communicate it. The theorem has taken >350 years to prove, which makes it clear that the proof is not some intuition that was somehow missed by hundreds of people for centuries.

Fermat's Last Theorem (book) by Simon Singh is the source to check out if you're interested in the details of how it eluded mathematicians and a general idea of how the problem was solved, without getting too technical. It's a great story well told.
I appreciate your skepticism. It certainly sounds too good to be true. Unfortunately I only had 2000 characters to get everything down but happy to clarify any questions you have.

This is true but generally only for grocery and a handful of the big box retailers.

The merchandising information is typically well known along with product taxonomy, but the mapping of this relative information to a physical layout isn't always cleanly implemented or available.

A typical scenario is sku 85111 is grouped in a product hierarchy (family > sub category > subdepartment > department or the retailer equivalent) and that sku is assigned to a planogram or set of planograms associated with a display fixture (which sometimes have a hierarchy of their own (e.g. peg > shelf > section > aisle) with mixed relative distancing. There's generally a departmental divide between who manages product and merchandising information.

Many of these robots to my knowledge use the products or special tags as unique identifiers as opposed to an indoor-positioning system that ties back to an exact product location. So it's frequently easy to say that a product is in aisle 20 section 2 shelf 1 it's not easy to say from your current location go down 8 aisle and up half an aisle, look on your left.

Amazing. I got into film photography in college with Holga cameras — toys, essentially, which had the wonderful upside of using medium format film, as well as introducing all kinds of “happy accidents”. It was not a cheap hobby in terms of developing costs, etc. But film is pretty magical. Waiting to get negatives back was exciting. (This “lomography” — Holgas, etc — inspired apps like Instagram in the beginning.)

Really cool to see artists keeping these formats alive. I do a lot of digital work, and I don’t think format alone defines the art — but again, there’s some real magic in film.
You say Gold Filter, I say game dev pissing directly into my eyes. Same with exaggerated blue/teal and orange color grading in movies.

It's not misleading but the problem is the policy adopted by most countries (and the message coveyed to people) is that having the infection can convey immunity.

The real question should be why are countries taking economic and what will ultimately be life destroying policy measures when there's no evidence that those policies will lead to the desired results of herd immunity and often are specifically against the advice of the WHO.

The WHO specifically recommends against travel bans, but nearly every country has implemented one. They specifically state the negative social and economic impact of such bans and how they do not work to prevent the spread.

I'm not sure about other countries but policy and public perception in the US seem to be largely based on TV doctors and armchair statistics majors instead of the advice of the WHO.

That's strange considering most games do not put a full load on your system, especially not the CPU. Doom Eternal, in particular, has both low GPU and CPU usage. So I'm having trouble seeing how you got your full load. How did you measure? MSI Afterburner + Riva Statistics Server for OSD is good for this.

BTW: Death metal is a particular genre, and Doom's soundtrack is not it. This crap is death metal: https://youtu.be/482tDopNzoc?t=69
It helps to consider:

The first time I read about plan9, the current wave of CS students were just about being born.

So all the time you have an idea that has been around forever and might be something good and interesting but by now it's a bit boring. At the same time you have wave after wave of fresh people who are hearing about it for the first time and reacting with ... "Whoa".

I think because a lot of readers here trend younger, we see that last part, which if you're already familiar with the topic is a bit weird. A parallel I might draw, imagine a new generation discovering the Beatles, or some other classic, now mundane piece of media or art. It's similarly mind blowing as it would have been decades before, but somebody somewhere is seeing it with fresh eyes.
This is extremely cool.

Is there any documentation on what shell syntax this supports? I assume it's not running a standard shell like Bash or zsh.

Edit: https://github.com/holzschu/ios_system/blob/master/README.md confirms its not running sh, bash, or zsh, and has some additional details on the available commands. I still think it would be nice for this to be more explicit, but the information is out there.
Well, the answer is "simple": It's because the modularity theorem was proven (or better, the Tanyiama-Shimura conjecture was proven)

But why that solves the problem? Because it connects two branches of mathematics (modular forms and elliptic equations) in a way that proves that equations of that form cannot exist (where the exponent is > 2)

Though there probably is an easier way of explaining it, it is strongly suspected that Fermat got the wrong idea there.

I agree with this statement, but I don't necessarily believe the opposite is true.
The usual misunderstanding is that light is sometimes a wave and sometimes a particle, but that is wrong. Light is always a weird thing, that you have never seen before in macroscopic objects, and you need to use some math to describe.

In some experiments the weird mathematical thing can be approximated as an almost classical particle. That approximation simplifies the calculation a lot, and sometime you can get some result intuitively. But it is never true, it is only a very good approximation.

Try to read again everything you have read about the subject, but every time the text says "here light is a wave/particle" use a red marker to rewrite that sentence as "here light can be approximated as a wave/particle".
