MIPS dying is really the end of an era. I think it was the quintessential RISC processor of the early 90's. IIRC, Windows NT was developed on a MIPS machine to ensure that inadvertent x86 dependencies did not sneak into the code.

I remember reading a PCWorld article comparing various processors. This was the time the Pentium came out. If my memory servers, the MIPS won the overall performance crown vs Pentium, PowerPC, and Alpha AXP.
First thing I do in Windows is turn off the eye candy :) . I mostly use linux with KDE. It still has a real file menu and visible scrollbars and I hope that never changes :)
For anything other than the absolute simplest case you should have two databases. One for OLTP (the application(s)) and one for OLAP (the reporting).

If your reporting queries are hard or complex it's because you did a bad job architecting the reporting tables. Reporting queries should almost always be the simplest form of query if you designed your warehouse properly.

Days with sales is easy with a simple SUM or COUNT and GROUP BY.

Days without sales is easy if you think about this dimensionally.

SELECT dim_days.day_of_month,
COUNT(fact_orders.order_id)
/*
Select from dim_days first because you want every day.
*/
FROM dim_days
/*
Outer join to the fact table to pull in the data you have and add that to your dates.
*/
LEFT JOIN fact_orders
ON dim_days.calendar_day = fact_orders.order_day
/*
Filter results by the desired range.
*/
WHERE dim_days.month = 4
AND dim_days.year = 2020
GROUP BY dim_days.day_of_month;

Compound Governance Developer Quick Start Guide
I remember listening to some guy from ImgTec brag about how MIPS is the 4th biggest instruction set in the world as if MIPS had like 20% market share rather 1% or whetever ridiculous market share ImgTec had bought their way into. That was literally at the peak when ImgTec were on top of the world, they'd just built a new campus and were spending like there was no tomorrow. Then Apple drank their milkshake, and they had to sell everything. Even then though, it was really bizarre that anyone was still trying to make MIPs a thing.

MIPS has been the walking dead for a couple of decades now. It's really time to let go. Especially since there are actually interesting things happening in the ISA space with RISC-V.
The founder has some controversial views on how to develop the product, this includes more cloud integration.

Not MIPS. Windows NT was initially developed on a more obscure RISC architecture, Intel i860. It was later ported to MIPS though.
The mortality rate has been stable for a while now so I doubt that that will happen any time soon [1].

When you give an object the power to access to the db, you invariably end up with db access everywhere you can pass that object.
Lol, it's nothing like assembler or brainfuck.
That is an issue, but its a separate issue. The concern that COVID is going to drastically overrun hospitals to the point at which we simply cannot take in more people and cause even the young to die is mostly not an accurate depiction of how hospitals and their capacity works.

It's true, a prolonged lockdown could potentially keep hospital usage low enough that things like this aren't happening, but only temporarily, and not in a way that meaningfully diminishes the threat of the virus and similar hospital burdens occurring later. You can't slowly let everyone acquire immunity. The disease either exponentially spreads to a sufficient scale or it spreads too slowly to build up a community resistance that permits a lockdown to end without consequence.

I really do empathize with people who are suffering, but what do you do if 6 months from now the disease is still here, we don't have a vaccine, and the economic situation is worse? You either release it, and put us back at the beginning with these same woes we're encountering now, or we keep holding the lockdown for short term loss of life avoidance at significant economic cost.
ARM and RISC-V have collectively removed any remaining niches (or future prospects) for MIPS.
It is also why this approach would be foolish in countries with less developed treatment capacity. Capacity, for example, that is already at it's limit even with social distancing.
Thanks for your answer.

> the compression algorithm needs knowledge of the video stream, which would be impossible if it's compressed.

That makes perfect sense and I guess my theory of secure encryption + post-re-compression fails because of this. But what if we didn't need perfectly secure encryption, but just per-block encryption. So the server knows that you've sent 60 frames, but doesn't know what is in those frames.

What if the codec was made in such a way that the server knew that certain blocks in the stream could be discarded to reduce size while the stream without those blocks still makes sense to the recipient.

For example: the stream is composed of 64 byte blocks, but the codec says that every 2 blocks there's a discardable block that adds image quality but is not essential. So, with this knowledge, the server discards every 2 blocks when sending that data to people with low bandwidth and sends the original stream with all its blocks to those with high bandwidth.

It's an extremely naive scheme, but maybe this principle could be applied to more complicated codecs, so the server only needs to know metadata about the stream (where each block is and whether it's essential), but not the content of the block itself (framebuffer and audio sample values).

I'm sorry if this idea is too dumb (and my English skills are not the best).
This whole thing is kind of like driving a car, except that when you turn the steering wheel, nothing happens, and then two weeks later the wheels start to turn.
Let’s see the research and judge by then. I’ve seen published study from Uppsala that tested and confirmed antibody tests with high degree of accuracy 99%+, but had 1 false positive related to cross reaction to another corona virus but they had no details on the sample input or the kind of corona virus is cross reacted with, and hence no way of knowing the accuracy. Lots of bad science being performed these days so I’ll be skeptical until I read the results myself.

I'm open to learning about moral and political philosophy. I will check out Nozick, Rawls and Mill - thanks for the pointers.

Meanwhile I am failing to grasp how feeling (worse yet acting) entitled to something (in this case money) from someone else or society at large is beneficial. Anyone I've ever met or interacted with IRL with this disposition is perpetually unfulfilled and extremely ungrateful for very gift of life they have been given.

> When Warren Buffett studies a company, he doesn’t see a checklist of mental models he has to apply.

This is really a very poor and missguided assertion. It's as if the only person worth learning from with regards to how to invest is Warren Buffer, because all those poor miserable bastards who are 1% as successful as Warren Buffet, with their pathetically underperforming $1.2 billion fortunes, certainly can't teach you nothing that will help you improve yourself as an investor. No, no. Either you learn from the guy with a $120B fortune or you are better off doing something else like sitting on your ass browsing Instagram or reading drivel posted on a blog.

Ecuador is actually one of a very few number of developing nations that doesn't seem to mandate TB immunization. Iran didn't start it until the 1980s.

My grandfather went through the 1918 epidemic and they put a hole in his back to treat his lung symptoms. It was experimental. He lived roughly 70 years past that.
Or prevents them from contracting any other disease that would have otherwise killed them. In fact even these numbers are undercounts of the "true" death total due to the pandemic, as we'd obviously expect baseline deaths to have dropped significantly over the short term. How much is for the next generation of epidemiologists to argue about.

But FWIW: Sweden is absolutely an outlier here, and given the choice between "Swedish reporting is fundamentally better" and "Swedish death counts are wrong in some banal way", I'll choose the latter.

Say it with me everyone: we don't make risk analysis decisions on the basis of outlier data.
Just my 2...pence haha

Do you hate your job, coworkers, or employer? If it's your job, do a LOT of research on what you'd rather do. If it's your coworkers, get a better job. If it's your employer, get a different job.

Consider maybe going back to school in a new field. I'm currently doing it now going into CS. I've learned I'm a tasked based person, not a people type person. I was in business but hated it because relationships arent as measurable in terms of achievement as an actual skill is. You may have to do some soul searching here to try and figure it out. Good luck!
Well, Moloch is free now. DARPA had to make a lot of sacrifices to make that happen, though.
Your underlying assumption is a) Sweden is reporting correctly and b) won't in future find excess deaths in the community - as other countries have:

Interesting I’ve run into similar issues when we put network load balancer from aws in front of a db. It has a fixed tcp connection timeout so similar if the query takes a long time it’ll disconnect. We fixed this at the socket level by ensuring our linux syscnf was set to keep connections alive at an interval below network load balancer. Was a tricky problem to figure out.
You may find the hygiene hypothesis interesting - the theory that the incredibly sharp rise in allergic diseases in developed countries is due to no longer being exposed to the types of bacteria that we had during most of evolution.

One example is that allergy rates in Finnish Karelia are much higher than right across the border with Russia, even though the populations and environment are otherwise very similar.

Not present in the article: any explanation of how the election was influenced. But then, that's not important, is it?
This. It's also worth remembering that the cost to bring products to market - particularly in the software/technology industry, continues to rise. As larger players continue to expand their portfolio of offerings with years of engineering effort behind them, it's significantly more difficult for a small startup to produce something compelling enough for customers to use it over the other options on the market.

In other words, the bar for quality and capability in all products we use on a daily basis continues to rise. That has the direct effect of raising the expectations that consumers and businesses have for new products they want to purchase, and thus the cost to build them. That translates to more time needed to deliver something meaningful to market, which is also likely correlated with higher amounts of VC funding concentrated in a smaller number of companies (pre-COVID)
Carrier data for phones is expensive. I use it to store media (podcasts and music) so I can pay for minimal monthly data. I bought a 128gb microSD card 3 or 4 years ago, meant I could save several hundred dollars (twice now!) by getting a mid-range phone with 64gb storage.

Edit: for fun I did a quick cost comparison. I drive a lot and listen to music and podcasts. 40,000km a year. If I streamed, I would have to upgrade my plan (+$10 a month minimum) and my phone (+$150/2yrs). Purchase price at the time was $100. So over the 3.5 years I've had this sd card, I've saved a net $620.

I don't think this has been mentioned yet, but dark mode on a Mac is very adaptive, and has lots of material which adjusts to the color of your desktop.

Compare these 3 screenshots of the same window (https://imgur.com/a/UNXtweJ) - and that's not a translucent or blurred window, it's just a solid background color. The only change I made between taking those was picking a different desktop image.

When I open Slack, it doesn't match any of the native apps because it doesn't use the native color blending. It's just drawing a different palette of colors.

In this case, I don't know if QT is going to be any better if it is just drawing all of its own controls. There's another native Git client that I use, and it looks amazing and blends right in with the rest of the apps I use everyday.
RCE by definition involves being able to run arbitrary code, for some reasonable definition of arbitrary. "Triggering a particular code path" doesn't get you anything: if you have a webpage you can trivially make your visitors' computers execute plenty of predictable code paths, like the one to render text to the screen or to send audio to the speakers.

Supply chain, factory production, and delivery all affect the ability to produce and supply hardware devices.

Animal crossing is software, so not a fair comparison.
In Australia, the rankings often seem to be based on outcomes unrelated to undergraduate studies (citation needed). I've found that makes for a situation where there is very little need to increase or maintain the quality of learning at the lower levels. While Uni Melbourne is consistently rated high[1], the quality of teaching and support was very poor[2] and opportunities within the university extremely limited.

In contrast, when I moved interstate and transferred institutes, despite being at a much lower-ranked university I received (subjectively) better tuition and support from low and high-level staff. I was even (enthusiastically) given the opportunity to contribute to active research in my vacations.

Couple of dumb-sounding questions after reading the link:

* Left or right side relative to what? Is it my right when looking at the laptop screen?

* Does this have any implications for reliability of Bluetooth transmitters? I use a mouse and keyboard that both plug into a USB-C hub, and sometimes have issues with mouse tracking, or keystrokes not being registered. My WFH setup has these things plugged in on the opposite side they normally would be, and I think I'm seeing this issue a little more frequently than I was in the office.

"Why do you think speeding and drunk driving is illegal" - so far drunk driving is the leading cause of death for young drivers. I do not see electronic immobilizers installed in the cars by default to prevent those deaths. Care to guess why?

As for "suddenly become unacceptably high risk" - it seems that governments do not have much clue and nearly enough info on this particular subject ( COVID )
I totally agree with you, and I'll add that the quote also implies that the entire industry is "pivoting" to work on this effort when, no it isn't. People who have built the ability to work on viruses or with technology that is applicable are all pitching in to do their part. And they're doing it on their own prerogative, not by the "leadership" of some silicon valley tech types. Altman and all is doing good work by funding some covid responses etc, as is YC and are other tech VCs, and talk about that to whatever extent you want. But dont take credit for what the industry is doing.

karma is just a meaningless number.

When I left Reddit I had something like 50,000 karma points. What did those 50,000 karma points give me? Nuttin, nothing, nada, zilch, zero!

You can chase the numbers if you want. It's not much different from collecting pretty sea-shells on the beach.
My bet is that both Denmark and Sweden and other places that got these high numbers used tests that were both giving false positives eg by cross reaction to common cold corona viruses. We have seen this with early tests and as much as 20% of the population might have had just one of these 4 common ones. A Swedish study noticed this but didn’t get into the details and was essentially a bad study as it still concluded tests were 99%+ accurate. WHO was asked the other day if they had comments on these studies but all they had to say was diplomatic that they could help with input to make sure studies were performed correctly.
I dunno, sounds like Google interview.
Pardon my ignorance, but... is RISC-V all that much more alive than MIPS? My impression is that MIPS has a past, RISC-V may have a future, but neither has much of a present.
Too bad there's no application platform that's not owned by a corporation that you could have built this with. If only there were some kind of open standard that any computer could implement. Applications could even be linked together in a sort of "web". Unfortunately we live in the worst possible timeline where iOS and Android are the only option.
Allergies are a good example, because as far as I know, they exist mostly in our civilized society and from what I remember, mainly those suffer from it: who were not (enough) breast feeded and were kept in a sterile area as a kid and not in the mud outside.

But in general, yes, we can and could improve with technology on many things. But mostly only things we understand. A car is a very, very simple thing, compared to our bodies, our digestion system, immune system, cell growth ... And our bodies need very complex "material" to grow, as adults not so much, as babies. And mother milk is optimized and can dynamically change to adopt to the need of the baby. It was blind arrogance and yes, profit thinking, to assume a simple formula is better.

Just remember why they started, a bloke could not afford to pay his rent. There was a popular conference and he offered to let someone stay at his house sleeping on an airbed.

It was a hack. If the economy stays bad for a period of time both travellers and host will need an Airbnb or similar. Travellers want cheaper accommodation and host will need the money.

It depends when each country locked down relative to the number of cases and deaths at the time.

The UK is widely acknowledged (here anyway) to have acted too late in its lockdown as the were trying to pursue herd immunity.
Yeah. Take credit for the work you do (and altman isn't doing nothing, he's helping in the effort). But don't take credit for leading the entire industry. Dont take credit for things you didn't earn the credit for. And to another commenters point, attempting to qualify it with the word "helped" doesn't make it better if you're saying he "helped" with leading an entire industry pivot. He didn't. There was no silicon valley led biotech pivot. Biotech did its job and is foing its job. He's helping with covid, but not with leading the biotech industry. And hes not leading those amazing homegrown efforts like the one in smartereveryday's latest video detailing his effort to 3d print PPE in huntsville.

Leading the tech industry to pivot to work on covid though? Maybe - I could buy that. If hes been working with tech companies to join the effort.
So it does spaced repetition?
