Perhaps Tesla can reopen safely - if Amazon can run warehouses why shouldn’t they be able to manufacture cars?

The issue I personally have is that his personal comments, from twitter and from interview (Rogan) suggests that he is questioning how serious Covid is in general and that people have the right to do live how they choose with little regard for how that may affect those around them. He claims that patients with covid like symptoms, but without an official diagnosis, are being counted as covid patients, implying that they shouldn’t be (not true - most are designated under investigation until results are available or, in the early days, there simply weren’t enough tests available). Or that if one has covid, but also has another medical condition that was the cause of death, it should not be attributed to covid (again wrong, in many cases chronic conditions are controlled, until the virus wrecks havoc on the body).

Why would he be doing this? Because by questioning the seriousness of it, a push can be made to open the economy at large, which in many places and environments is still not safe. After all, what is the point of manufacturing Tesla’s if there aren’t enough people there to buy them?
Keep in mind the AMD instances are using chips AMD put out almost 3 years ago. They still aren't using the new generation of Rome chips that came out a year ago, which almost doubled performance.

I'm really interested in your comment about how Gastsby, Next et. al. are doing SSR wrong. For context, I'm an SSR newbie, currently trying to migrate a site I started away from Gatsby (realized it's not the right tool for the job).

To me, it seems like Incremental Static Regeneration is the best of both worlds - you get a static site without huge build overhead and SSR niceness.

However, peeking in dev tools, sure enough your site is a bit faster in nearly every lighthouse metric compared to static-tweet.now.sh despite being decidedly more complex.

Could you expand on how Gatsby and Next are doing SSR wrong and what it takes to do it right (i.e. what is DOMVM doing instead).

I'm sorry if you've answered this elsewhere in the thread, I looked around and didn't find anything.
Your FB feed results don't seem impossible. First CV-19 death in CA was Feb 6 [1]. That's presumably at least a couple of weeks after infection.

How many people at the lowest of the lowest rung on the ladder being pushed to famine and death because of disrupted supply chains does it take for you to start caring?

The global perspective of this disease is horrifying any way you turn it, and economy has a central part in managing it successfully.
I am a fairly depressing person when it comes down to it. Perhaps those things you’re saying could happen, but they don’t seem likely given history. The rich get richer and compound interest compounds. Maybe it will turn our financial systems on its head, probably.

I didn’t say generational death was the only way for society to advance, I said it was a “strong force.” Sure, possibly people become less selfish now that death is not a foregone conclusion, but now you also have to plan for an infinite retirement, or work forever. There’s no promise of utopia. More likely than not things stay the same, the status quo isn’t really that great for a lot of people.

The heat death argument is about the inevitable end of things. Yes I would take more time and yes it would be great to not get old, but you have to settle your own finiteness and make peace with that. Even with some miracle technology being something that will eventually not be is simply what it means to exist.
A slightly more relevant example is speed limit. Speed limits are generally kinda low. It's that we allow a whole lot of cars on roads. Pretty much any relatively new will be fine at 75, but highways have to support 40 year old beaters with bald tires pulling a trailer. If we had regular drivers tests, we could probably loosen up more laws around driving - but there wouldn't be as many drivers who could qualify.

We all try to strike a pragmatic balance. :shrug:
You mean like Alameda County and San Joaquin County which are adjacent to each other and which have different rules in place? Arbitrary line on the map.
I don't think it's a prejudice. I've seen pentaho introduced as a way to enable business analysts to do work otherwise expensive developers would have to do. It simply didn't work, business analysts were not able to use it, devs had to take over and when they did they did not want to use pentaho. It's an easy trap for upper management to fall into thinking the selling point of these tools is the ability to allow the non tech staff to do the programming.

For context, my comment is responding to a comment that is regarding the projections for NY and "Furher Cuomo's" response to it. My reply is discussing what was happening in new york. certainly the response we had here would not have made sense in another area that wasnt on the edge of hospital system collapse, but that's not what this comment chain and thread is discussing, it's discussing New York.

I was talking about online discussions (e.g., comments on Blog Maverick, etc). Australians have been very supportive on the whole of measures here, but I've still seen some absolutely baffling discussions online that descend into immediate, heated disputes.

We had one notable protest in Australia in which a few were arrested and a policeman injured, but no, people here don't walk around showing off guns thankfully.

Why is Tesla not allowed to be open, then? Is it classified differently somehow?

From the abstract:

> ... Consistent with our hypotheses, we find that bullshit ability is predictive of participants’ intelligence and individuals capable of producing more satisfying bullshit are judged by second-hand observers to be higher in intelligence. ...

This abstract reads like bullshit.

The paper defines "bullshiting," but not "intelligence." Nor do the authors even seem interested in addressing any of the numerous problems in measuring human intelligence.

The "intelligence" tests being used appear to be:

- Wordsum Task. The Wordsum task is a 10-item vocabulary test commonly used as a measure of verbal intelligence (see Malhotra et al., 2007 for a review). In this task, a word in large print (e.g., “CLOISTERED”) appears above a series of smaller print words (e.g., bunched, secluded, malady, miniature, arched). Participants’ objective is to pick a small print word that is the best synonym for the large print target word. Scores on the Wordsum task were equal to the total number of correct responses provided.

- Raven’s Progressive Matrices. We administered Raven’s Progressive Matrices (RPM) as a measure of abstract reasoning and non-verbal fluid intelligence (Bilker et al., 2012). In this task, participants are presented with a partially obscured visual pattern and must select the available pattern fragment that will successfully complete the pattern. The RPM is comprised of 60 items broken up into five levels of difficulty. In order to decrease time demands on participants, we randomly selected four items from each of the five difficulty levels, resulting in 20 RPM items being presented in Study 1. We calculated an RPM score for each participant by calculating the number of correct responses they provided.

Assuming this study was in fact performed and isn't some weird bullshit inception joke, these "intelligence" tests seem flawed at best.
Firefox 3.5 was dated 2009 and the page references it, so that's the latest verifiable date of activity that I can find (and I missed it except for the above comment).

Glad that you are able to figure out the shortcomings in your comments. Be constructive vs. generalizing a few negative examples and taking a defeatist attitude to things.
The most expensive step in ray marching is to find the distance which you will get for free after one rasterization pass via the z-buffer. With the z-buffer already present every effect used in this demo can be applied in the same way to purely rasterized graphics with even less cost.

E.g. Doom Eternal has very elaborated dynamic lighting effects but uses 100% forward rendering. RTX is completely pointless.

Holy shit. My parents were a cabal when I was a kid.
> China's ascent is going to happen.

That sounds like denial. The Asian ascent has already happened. Most of the stuff we used to make in the west is made there now: clothes, cars, steel, computer boards, plastics, hand tools, solar panels, batteries - pretty much all manufactured household goods that aren't food are made overseas now.

They have been churning out Engineers and PhD's for decades now. There was a time when we had far more than them, which is why they best they could do is cheap replica's of stuff we made. But now solar panels, WeChat payment systems, 5G equipment - these are all designed in China. They don't depend on us for technological innovation any more, or at least no more than we depend on them.

I don't know what Trump thinks "bring back chip manufacturing" involves - maybe he just believes you just follow some simple recipe and build a few foot ball sized manufacturing sheds. You don't build a technological powerhouse from one man or one company making a manufacturing decision. In reality most people here will know what it will does require. You have to build an education system that churns out highly educated people that then compete like crazy to build better and better manufacturing plants. Pretty much like the US does with software now - which goes some way to explaining why leads the world on that front.
IMO this might be the biggest benefit. Whenever I feel like the US is a failed state, the reason always seems to be people demanding 1-bit answers to 128-bit questions. This shows the criteria, quantifies everything, sources everything, and clearly shows what the goals are and what the current state is. If people want to argue about when to reopen, this turns the arguments into deciding what the criteria should be and how it should be measured, rather than bullshit like "I want everything to reopen now because that's what the angry man on TV told me to think".

A lot of people screaming about reopening don't even seem to realize there are criteria and metrics involved, rather that it's just some arbitrary decision arbitrarily made by governors, which is why their whining is so useless. I'd be much more open to hearing people's reopen arguments if they came in the form of, "we don't need to care about this metric, because <blah> and this other metric can be lower, and this whole stage of the process doesn't need to exist, therefore we can think about reopening earlier." Instead you get neckbeards with AR-15s and Confederate flags (in Canadian border states!) screaming at public servants about...something. I don't know. They're mad and they want something to change but they have no ideas and they don't know how to communicate with people.
> No actually in both cases it's a miniscule percentage of the overall population. People should be looking at percentages, because absolute values just cause lockdown hysteria.

Yes, .2% of NYC residents are dead from Covid. Another % or so will likely have lifelong consequences. And that's with social distancing. Without, we'd be looking at 1% and 5-10%. And many of that 5-10% are young.

Looking solely at deaths doesn't tell the whole story.

> So the whole exercise is pointless because the virus is going to do it's rounds anyway.

Sure sounds like resignation to me. But no, the measures being taken now allow us to understand more about the virus and ways to prevent it. We're seeing lockdowns end and lighten, replaced by more lighweight measures like mask requirements and contact tracing.

We could have had this happen weeks ago and have been done at a fraction of the cost, but the US response was delayed due to the same kind of head burying as is happening in Brazil now.

But within your own example you're missing the point that there is no one going to TSLA (afaik) to inspect the property to say "The way you're operating is insufficient" Instead they're deeming all possible operations as automatically insufficient.

For example lets say, just for argument's sake, that every worker had some kind of full body hazmat suit and filtered positive pressured air supply. Would it still be not ok to build a car in such a condition? What makes it ok to operate a checkout stand (groceries) in not even close to such protections?

The problem is the assumption of guilt w/o any means to continue operations--a perfectly legal thing otherwise-- even with appropriate measures in place.

Are they? You mean a generation following the GA144? That sounds really interesting! I see tantalizing tidbits on http://www.greenarraychips.com/: "Latest developments:
As of early 2020, shipments of the EVB002 evaluation kit and of G144A12 chips continue. Work continues on improvement of the arrayForth 3 integrated development system. Design of a new chip, G144A2x, continues; this will be upward compatible with the G144A12, with numerous significant improvements."

That'll be really wonderful to see!

I also live in Oakland. I've lived in Alameda County for the past 8 years. I also paid 14k in real estate taxes last year to said county (I know that's small potatoes to some of my peers here but it's exorbitantly higher than most everywhere else).

I 100% support Elon here. The masterfulness of what he's doing is that over 10k employees are employed at that factory. If they can go to work - so can everyone else. He's essentially tossing a moltov cocktail at the whole house arrest bullshit.

Elon is a true patriot.

There are lots and lots of professionals who would love to just live on some land in a quiet corner of the country if it didn't mean giving up job prospects. And yes, there are people who would stay in cities for the culture and amenities. But I would guesstimate that the split on who would go where given the choice is more like 50/50.
Why and How to Get the Most Out of Twitter
I agree that blind respect of the law is not inline with American culture, but petulant disrespect of the law should not be encouraged either. The way Musk has been conducting himself lately strikes me less as someone who is pushing back against irrational dogma, and more like someone who's throwing a tantrum because he's unhappy that a pandemic is hindering his ability to run his business.
I think strawmaning each other won't lead to any useful discussion.
I agree that testing project is providing valuable information. A few of the tests were indeed quite bad; but I take that as a reason to look carefully at the particular test used, not to dismiss the whole field. 6/9 of their lateral flow assays were >98% specific for IgG. Of course, the bottom of the confidence interval is lower; but the top is higher, and I don't see what would make the low side more likely than the high side. This is unlike e.g. a typical drug study, where your prior should be strongly biased to the drug not working, since most drugs don't. Perhaps your prior is biased here; but I don't see why, since the serology is roughly consistent with the Diamond Princess and other prior results (like per Verity).

NYC appears to have used an in-house IgG assay for which unfortunately no paper exists; but the Wadsworth Center seems reputable, with no obvious incentive to overstate the prevalence. To any extent they're under political pressure, that would probably go the other way (to show the success of the lockdown, and justify its continued effect). So perhaps they made a simple mistake, but their IFR ends up consistent with serology performed by other means in Europe, and with the few populations universally tested by PCR--actually on the high end, especially if we include probables or use full excess death.

The harm of the coronavirus certainly shouldn't be minimized. The harm of the continuing lockdown shouldn't be either--a generation of schoolchildren may lose months of public education, one of very few social equalizers in American society. Given the harm on both sides, I believe we should be making policy based on our best estimates of the IFR, and not either extreme of a confidence interval. That seems unquestionably <2% to me, and probably <1% based on European serology (though the NYC may be slightly higher).
Is a 99.9% specitivity good enough though to conclude you had covid?

Assuming you are in the US, your prior on having been infected in early February is well below 0.1% (not sure how much the covid-like symptoms would boost that). So conditionally speaking, it seems quite plausible this is a false positive.

NZ has an advantage over the US and Germany: it's small and it hasn't gutted its public health system.

The real reason why the push for "tracing apps" is so massive is that many countries have "saved" money in public health for decades - not just the healthcare systems themselves but also the pandemic/epidemic response teams and other admin staff. Now, Corona bites our collective butts.
As an outsider, the weirdest thing to me is that different counties can have their own rules. That different states might have their own rules is understandable, kind-of, but at the county level? It seems like a very haphazard approach to an emergency.

You certainly are. Cheering for the significant expansion of government power because you've been led to fear a disease.

That's how fascism works. You get the population afraid of something and then get them to demand the government expand its powers to protect them.

Many of the orders are in fact good recommendations. But it matters whether or not local government can decide to exercise such broad powers.
That seems to be the thrust of the comment you’re replying to: the graph is essentially a programming language, with all the same complexity but multiplied because the same level of complexity is being managed without the same level of sophistication of tools like version control and even basic code re-use constructs typical in text-based languages.
You must also take into account the history of intentional civil disobedience where the government has over reached and the population simply reaches the point where it refuses to comply.

Prohibition is obviously a prime example of this, but if you consider various laws that once existed or are currently on the books but no longer enforced (think laws pertaining to racial segregation, sexuality, drug use, and such) you realize that being a law abiding citizen does not mean you are no longer allowed to think for yourself. Read up on "Jury Nullification" or "Jury Equity".
