Having hit my head quite a few times over the past years, I've dug into cutting-edge mTBI (concussion) research pretty hard.

What I learned was that the long-term effects of concussion are now fundamentally thought of as neurometabolic in nature. That is, the loss of metabolic homeostasis within the brain due to an initial trauma. Unless this process arrests, what you're left with is neurodegeneration. How much really depends on the circumstance and patient.

The most striking takeaway I had, was that much of the latest research is suggesting that different etiologies lead to the same pathology in many instances. For example, it may be that you can acquire Alzheimer's Disease, or Parkinson's Disease, or even ALS via way of: chronic poor sleep quality (poor glymhpatic performance), history of frequent subconcussive head trauma (CTE), history of concussive or severe head truama (mTBI/TBI), neuroimmune factors, and of course genetic factors. Often times a combination thereof. That example isn't even remotely comprehensive on either the etiology or pathology side.

Point being, your brain is like a washing machine. If it goes out of balance, sometimes it will only oscillate further out of balance unless the process is arrested.

Psychiatric disorders are much the same way. I suspect it is for this reason that comorbidity is so commonplace.

The interesting part about psychiatric disorders however, is to a degree they can self-reinforce in a unique way. Your behavior and thought literally influence your brain's neurochemical state. Likewise, your brain's neurochemical state influences behavior and thought. I suspect this is why behavioral intervention in conjunction with medication generally works better than medication alone in treating psychiatric disorders.

Of course, it's not as simple as brain chemistry affecting thought and vice versa. You brain chemistry (and as such your behavior and thought) is still subject to effects of neurodegeneration, neurostructural changes, neuroinflammation, immune activation, and so forth.

So what we have is a very, very complex puzzle wherein you have many different factors—often vastly different in mechanism—each affecting the other.
I wish articles like these define what "superior" means. Context in quote below..

> When benchmarked against classical low-power detectors in the same conditions, we see that at very low-signal photon numbers, quantum-enhanced detection can be superior.
This is a great point. Putting your money where your mouth is.
It's an example of making the worst decisions possible for a multiplayer game (i.e. by not implementing any multiplayer at all) and fixing them anyway.

I'm not sure what you mean by "more complex" because there aren't many games that even reach a tiny bit of the depth of modern minecraft with a modpack like Skyfactory 3. Do your games involve building nuclear reactors out of 60k individual blocks that each have a tile entity (game object) allocated for it? Did I mention that this is just one power generator and doesn't even involve intricate item transport networks carrying hundreds of thousands of item stacks (each of that is a game object) to your manufacturing machines (another game object with completely arbitrary rules)? The machine wasn't cheap. It cost millions of iron ingots and those had to be processed from ore and that had to be mined automatically and the machines that mine the ore were tile entities too. These aren't things that could even possibly run on a game client. Just think about the nightmare of synchronizing such a huge amount of data from the client to the server. You'd need 100mbit upload or more.
This also helps in projecting an image that you have options and you're not desperate. And even if you are desperate, it's good to ask questions so you don't land in a bad situation. I think about some jobs I quit, and in retrospect I could have saved everyone some time if I had thought of certain things that were important to me and asked questions ahead of time.
This is flat against your first point. You are now relying on folks not being in a mask having more of a chance of getting it. Not of spreading it.

So, again, what is the actual vector here. How are folks getting it?

I confess I believe the general idea. But it has been pushed with a ton of heavy handed bs from folks saying how much they protect you. And then completely neglect to account for the scores of folks in masks that are still getting it. How?

I think that has more to do with timeouts than the OTP generation itself. Like the RSA tokens which allow use of the passcodes slightly before or after the active time range (and can use discrepancies to re-sync the clock) but will not accept an older passcode or one not generated yet. I doubt there's much of an incentive for them to handle clocks that far off, or anything more than normal locale issues for that matter.

Yup, the thing I always try to remember is tomorrow's another day and that whatever I'm working on likely isn't as important as I'm making it out to be.

For short term (say month or two) that may work. But any wealth redistribution cannot work without wealth production. And uncertainty about government restrictions already starts to disrupt food production in Europe, as farmers may not sew vegetables if they do not know whether they can get enough workers for harvest.
I assume (hope) it won’t be long before erasing objects within a scene and adding new ones (e.g. clouds) are widespread, too.

Kobe Bryant’s death submission was flagged immediately from this site, so OP has a point. There’s nothing more hostile or controversial on this site than who is allowed to have their obit stay on HN.

What do you mean by this?
> If a car isn't allowed where a bicycle is, then a bicycle isn't allowed on the road.

This again is not a given. Cars aren’t allowed where pedestrians reside. But (in the EU a least) pedestrians are allowed on roads, and have priority.

You should stop considering these relationships as purely exclusive, and consider them as a hierarchy. Pedestrians -> Bike -> Car. Each can use the space of the lower mode of transport but not the higher.

In many European countries this also dictates default liability in accidents. The reason for this is quite simple, pedestrians are more exposed than cyclists, cyclists are more exposed than drivers. So each class of transport should yield to more vulnerable forms of transport.

Rather than attempting to claim that one form of superior to another, we should be aiming to build systems that encourage the cheapest and most efficient forms or transport first, and then find ways to allow more expensive and less efficient forms of transport to co-exist with them.
A little bit off topic: do you know any good resources to get started with Godot?

Reminds me of a mathematical equation. You can added unnecessary complexity by adding terms to both sides, but simplification can only go so far.

Once simplified, you still have the option to move the essential operations to one side of the equation or the other.

I think people are going to come out of this one of two ways - half will come out fitter, mentally and physically, more positive, with new interests and skills and stronger relationships, and the other half are going to come out a mess (understandably.)
This is allowed but Kobe’s death wasn’t allowed. Funny.
High-severity bugs in ASA and Firepower
Huge layoffs in those offices, though.
Current gen hardware is nowhere powerful enough for that, yeah. But for simple games a lot is already possible (like Minecraft).

DLSS 2 and similar techniques help a lot to reduce the number of rays needed. Perhaps by the time of RTX 4000 (what I meant as next-next-gen) we might be able to see full raytracing.
I recently experimented with photogrammetry and I tried several different applications, including Meshroom.

From memory, 3DF Zephyr had the best quality, at least in my limited experience. It was also very easy to use to clean up unnecessary points, which is an important step for high quality output.

Meshroom to me feels like a research testbed. It's not a "product" that's ready to consume. The user interface especially is an unmitigated disaster.

For example: What are the little connected boxes at the bottom, and why do I care? If I need to care about what they are, why many of them have text that is cut off or contracted with ellipses? E.g.: "dept...lder".

Next to this is a node property editor where the labels line wrap and can't be resized to fit (despite there being plenty of room). The text next to it aligns to the right, so I see only the random suffixes of the files, not the actual path prefix. It's literally a window showing me a bunch of random numbers I don't care about.

I could go on and on about how unusable it is, but it feels like kicking a puppy.

The real issue is that overall it's quite slow. I suspect because despite requiring a GPU, they're not very efficient with it. The concurrent CPU usage is high, yet progress doesn't seem to go forward very much. I rarely see the GPU utilisation exceed 20% or thereabouts. Other tools breeze through the same data sets in far less time.
This is one of those technologies that will on balance be used for evil (despite some doubtlessly positive uses), isn't it?

I remember discussions of Freenet on "news for nerds" forums in the early millennium, and it was obvious that that particular technology was doomed and would never be widely adopted. You see, people were reluctant to run a Freenet instance because that would involve hosting and passing on content from other users as well. While all Freenet content was encrypted, people were horrified by the thought that if the crypto algorithm were ever broken, they would suddenly be revealed to have been hosting child pornography on their computers (unwittingly, but still). Thus, distributed platforms today must allow people to pick and choose what content they wish to host.
Easy, firstly being poor isn't necessarily a bad life, I see a lot more unhappy rich people than poor people.
Secondly if you think the children will have a better life will force you to admit you have a bad life and you're doing things wrong.
Thirdly a different life will mean your kids will be different and wont fit in so well, wont be around so much and might not like you - is that what you really want?

It's wild to me that even just the API would be so controlled. Is it not enough that they control signing of the software? Does this not shoot them in the foot when it comes to courting developers?
Just per #54400 above.

$ gcc --version | head -1
gcc (Debian 8.3.0-6) 8.3.0
$ cat x.c
#include <x86intrin.h>
double f(__m128d v){return v[1]+v[0];}
$ gcc -Ofast -march=haswell -S x.c
$ grep -C1 hadd x.s
.cfi_startproc
vhaddpd %xmm0, %xmm0, %xmm0
ret

GCC 4.8.5 with adjusted options does the same, and 7.5, so perhaps there was some regression in early 8.

(-ffast-math is redundant with -Ofast.)
Sure. And net comp is even more complicated, and particular to each person. Some will consider access to wide open spaces valuable, others won't really care. And so on.

Even after netting all that out, though, society often "commands" us to work at jobs that seem relatively useless. I suppose you could counter that "seeming useful" is itself a form of compensation. But still, it seems a bit dreary. I don't have any answers.

As far as non-monetary comp offered by companies (e.g., more interesting work), the problem is that it's really hard to tell whether such offers will actually pan out. It's very much luck of the draw whether you will get to do interesting work, or perhaps just end up sitting beside someone who is, while you are tasked with something meaningless. Been there. It's very difficult for companies to be credible on this.
Really liked the article. Thought it provided a clear description what Raft is for, how it works, and its historical motivations.
I've used EnTT in both compiler and graphics projects over the past few years. Nice API, good documentation, and continuous updates from skypjack. If you're looking for a C++ ECS, give EnTT a try.
I would like to see the breakdown of individual positions on James Damore versus Captain Crozier. I suspect very few people have consistent views (I do not) in spite of exactly the same arguments being made on both sides. Essentially: Should have known it would become public, or too important to keep silent. That tells me the real disagreement isn't in those arguments, but in the values behind them.
Well I heard this on Brett Weinstein's podcast where he reviewed literature showing this to be the case, a couple weeks ago at least. No doubt related to UV which has shown to kill the virus.

I'm sure you're aware that positive news about the virus is generally being censoring by mainstream outlets, if you're wondering why you didn't hear about it.
Looks like they're still on it, but there was some progress on it in november 2019, and it looks like it works, although not the default yet, not even at compile-time: https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/issues/595#issuecomm...

I very much second this, as I hate relying on proprietary software of any sort for stuff that's essential, has a steep learning curve, or that I am going to use on a regular basis (plus other criteria). GPU drivers match the first and last point.
Isn't this a good thing though? I have friends with two middle school children and a $2mil house and they have one laptop to share. It works great and they aren't addicted to screens.
So you dispute that "struggles in the office but thrives WFH" is a real category?
Controversial opinion but I think stopping poor irresponsible people from becoming parents is a better solution because

A. It requires less resources for the society.

B. It is better for the kid to not exist than to end up with a miserable life. Crime statistics for poor dysfunctional households doesn't look good.

C. Overpopulation is a problem. Even if you can feed 12 billion people, at what cost. And you can already feed that many. The problem is often political and societal (stopping food waste can solve global hunger). If someone can suggest a solution, I am all ears.

D. Lower population will lead to better reforms and more attention or investment per kid. It will be easier to move forward policies and test things. Democracy won't be a bottleneck but will work for once.
Note that your second link says that Damore's claims were basically correct, modulo a few quibbles. Which is almost beside the point. The whole issue demonstrated a failure at every level of society and corporate leadership.
While one should always prepare a question in such situation, the proposed standby questions are definitely worse than not asking a question. "What did you have for lunch" or "what did you do yesterday" are highly personal, and irrelevant to the interview.

It is a worse way of saying "I don't have a real question for you".

Work environment, atmosphere, infrastructures... There are endless relevant topics that an interviewee could ask about. Anything would be better than "what did you do yesterday".
> Why else do you think we've managed to keep it in control despite having some dense city centers?

I've got a tiger repelling rock to sell you, only $6 Trillion.

Seriously, why does everyone need to stay at home, rather than those that feel vulnerable decide for themselves? We could even have free clean food delivered to them, at a fraction of the cost to society. Also, as a bonus, we'd reach herd immunity much faster.

He'd rather save his business. And who's going to suffer most when he pulls his factory out of California?
there's quite a few tutorials on youtube. i just picked up godot and i'm following one by angega studios. it's really well made, albeit a bit outdated now, but the impact of that is minimal. http://kidscancode.org/blog/ seems to be a good resource as well.
Interesting tool but couldn’t discern the interface from the README.

On a side note, does anyone have any recommendations for C++ plotting libraries that integrate nicely with Eigen matrices/vectors? Even better if it is usable through lldb when breakpoints are set. I’m trying to recreate my workflow in matlab where you can set a breakpoint at some point in the code and visualize through different plots the variables when writing an algorithm. I find this makes matlab very nice for prototyping and the lack of this workflow becomes a real pain point when we go to convert our matlab implementation to a more performant C++ implementation.

Actually it's the opposite for me, I've started taking so much junk snacks (which wasn't available at Office), Less Walks and No proper schedule. Sleeps off the time. Many a days just getting up and jumping into calls.

On the positive side, it's more quality time with family but I'm still wondering how to fix the health part.
I think fundraising is the hardest part of a project, especially for creatives. If a group of writers can wrangle some amateur voice actors to work, (Which I think would be the lowest paid actors) it should be easy to get a project up.
The comparable JS architecture would use little more than a canvas. Normally, JS manipulates a retained mode render graph, i.e. DOM+CSS. That enormous abstraction stack both empowers JS - you can get a lot done with very little code - and slows it down.

It's more "native" because the stack is much shorter, much more direct. If it was more common to have plain JS interacting directly with input APIs and plain canvas, the argument for parity would be stronger. But it's just very rarely the case.

There are a lot more of them, so each individual game has a smaller slice of the pie.

Yep, and it doesn't show pixel 1:1 or with 800% or 1600% zoom against NN, linear, bicubic which sort of give you an idea of how good the SR effect is.

Sure I can download it on my PC and test it, but honestly I'd rather pick and old paper and implement my own version that runs faster and I can programatically apply it over sets of images if I want to.

Not bragging, I've been meaning to do this "when I have spare time" and since lockdown I've been busier than ever /facepalm

Since my use case calls for running in CPU (for the moment at least) I was looking on a few architectures that are more CPU-friendly (smaller net, not as many convolutions) than GANs.
Please see the sibling comment.

The idea is that since there are several years ahead until full raytracing hardware starts to appear, you could focus on that (and a single Vulkan renderer), reducing the manpower needed.

Meanwhile, commercial engines have to focus on current games, rasterization, raster + RT and the myriad of renderers and hardware they support.

Full raytracing is very possible sooner than we may think if approaches like DLSS 2 keep improving.
