Yes. You don't see it too much in ad recommenders because they don't need to be correct at the tails as long as you're rightish most of the time.

Elements of it show up in autonomous vehicles. For example, one thing that can cause a disconnect is when sensors detect a sequence of events that is extremely improbable. If it's improbable enough, it's probably not the world, it's probably your model. Best to hand it to a human or hit the brakes.

It reminds me a bit of John Meriwhether's statement that the events that led to LTCM's collapse were a "Six Sigma Event." If you are getting a six sigma event and you've only been in business a few years, maybe it's because your probability distribution of the market is wrong when you get a little too far from the mean.

Yeah, the ALPS 1-person tent is 4 lb and $100 on Amazon. Similar stuff is on Aliexpress.

I think the significance is that Walmart is entering this field. This really could introduce new audiences to backpacking that normally don't even think of going into REI.
It would still have access to all of your gdrive content.
And weights sooo little. It should have at least 10MB js framework bundle as my fiber link is bored.
A line like this has been in the makings long enough that the only real detail was release date. Additionally, as the article notes, few of the people who go to Walmart for camping gear are likely to do so in lieu of REI or similar.

You're absolutely right, and shops that are allowed to operate are able to take advantage of it over shops that aren't. This seems like it might not be a good example, though. Perhaps I've missed something.

It's an interesting strategy. The high-end of a lot of hobbies are inflated beyond reason, and I think it's cool that they're taking a stab at that.
That's kind of a weird reading of the title tbh. "Messing with AI models" to me implies that the models are trained on data of a certain nature, therefore during the pandemic, they are turning out to be "wrong" in this new context. It's not drawing normative conclusions about human nature at all.
Looking quickly at the items, I confess I'm not sure why you would think this is merely a rebrand. The items do seem genuinely different. What have I missed?
Postman describes it otherwise.

Isn't that what bit 3 in the general purpose bit flags if for? When that's set, the CRC and compressed/uncompressed file lengths are written in a Data Descriptor block after the member file data.

The minimalist contingent is even more fanatical than the gearhead contingent.
Honestly theres a lot of other sites that would benefit from that too. A well written and maintained scraper for a bunch of popular sites may be worth a subscription for some bandwidth limited people.

I think my earlier rhetorical question came across as one of inquiry.

Most place have a bug log. Some of the OSS projects I'm involved with have bugs I've submitted over a decade old.

My comment was meant to lead in to how a centralized bug system is not the issue - it's one of process. If a bug comes in, and either people accept a bug or close it right away, then it's the same as having a personal work list.

Except that the failure modes, like when people suddenly must be on leave for a month, are less severe.

(With the proviso that some people use personal work lists with a different interface than the centralized system might offer.)
When I saw this title, I thought they brought Google Desktop, a utility that searches local files back from the dead.

They do... with an option called MSG_WAITALL.

That naturally leads to the question of why it's not the default, which can be answered by understanding the history of TCP and computer networking; and more interestingly, how might things have been different if MSG_WAITALL was the default from the beginning.
You could create a subreddit or something similar instead of a website.

You'd still face traction and backlash issues, but it seems like a lot less effort and commitment to get started.
Bill Gates has an idea for how to get billionaires to donate more for corona
Private healthcare providers in the UK don't seem to be providing hospital treatment for COVID-19 - this is left to the NHS, BUPA says:

"As a public health emergency, COVID-19 is being treated through the public health system."

https://www.bupa.co.uk/coronavirus/health-insurance

Not that private healthcare providers are actually providing resources to the NHS so its possible that you could end up in a private hospital even though you don't have private health insurance.

OT looks a bit different and I suspect being phased out for Lithic. Here's the OT 1-person backpacking tent, which is on clearance: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-1-Person-Backpacking-...

Here's the Lithic version: https://www.walmart.com/ip/LITHIC-One-Person-Backpacking-Ten...

Lithic overall has a geometry similar to high-end tents like MSR, Big Agnes. It has better waterproofing and probably better poles than the OT. It actually comes with a footprint which is unusual. Reflective guylines are a really nice touch if you actually plan to backpack with it. It has a larger floor area and interior height than the OT, probably causing the added weight.
Yea, I've spent time in a prop shop and the hours were incredibly decent. A lot of people checking in an hour before the open and checking out a bit after the close. In a lot of cases coming in for the open, seeing what's what, then hitting the golf course.

Prop shops seem to have a pretty strong understanding of ROI in all things, including time spent, so if your killer strategy just doesn't have a ton to act on today go take an hour lunch and head home or wherever. The place I was at was known as an "arcade" or a bunch of unrelated strategies from various teams that happened to work out, so maybe it's different other places, but I can say for certain that I've done 90 minute lunches off site with senior traders in the middle of the trading day just because the volume in their primary product(s) was mostly just interns throwing 1 lots at one another.
There are also quite a few places with a Walmart and no nearby REI. There are whole states without REI stores. If Walmart rolls these lines out to every store, that's a massive expansion of access.

Same in countries with public healthcare in the EU; when you have an emergency, you end up in public healthcare (which, in the countries I have lived in, is excellent), when you have a knee or hip operation, you benefit from private if you have it.
And if one wants to list the content of the archives, zip is better and orders of magnitude faster, as it also has a "central directory" so one doesn't have to read the whole archive to get the list.

I've used that "central directory" approach even over the internet with a great success (downloading just that segment instead of the whole archive to get a list of what is inside).

But how did you make a bookmarklet to produce a zip archive, even non-compressed?

You are right. But note that in order to contradict me on the surface, you are in fact agreeing with my point by starting to shift the conversation away from nominal terms like the deficit and towards real resources -- which is the correct framing!

The next steps are to recognize and integrate into the conversation that:

* Whether and to what extent the government consumes resources that would otherwise have been consumed by somebody else cannot be determined purely by looking at the deficit as a single number. A government deficit, when done right, stimulates the economy which means that it causes the creation of resources that otherwise simply wouldn't have been created.

* Inflation, which is what you're really getting at, is complicated and has many potential drivers. A government deficit can be one of them, but isn't necessarily. There are many other potential drivers: overly lax monetary policy, excessive bank lending, entirely internal mechanism such as genuine supply shocks, businesses' price hikes in an attempt to increase profits, strong unions helping drive up wages broadly across the economy, and so on. Note that some of these effects, especially the last one, are actually desirable for most people, meaning that inflation can actually be a good thing for society overall! Admittedly that happens rarely in practice, but that's really a function of workers having too little power. It all depends on the details.

In fact, on that last point there's reason to suspect that we'd have had quite a bit lower "effective" inflation (meaning higher purchasing power of wages / salary) for the majority of the population today if governments had decided to address the Global Financial Crisis by direct job creation and handing out money to the population at large, rather than leaning on monetary policy which really only caused asset prices to balloon.

This alternative policy wasn't even discussed seriously, because people largely do not understand that the government cannot default. Discussion was shut down with slogans like "making sure that the US is not going to be the next Greece", which are complete nonsense given that the US and Greek governments operate under very different currency arrangements (sovereign currency like Japan, vs. the effectively foreign currency of the Euro in Greece's case).

So anyway, the point is that the framing in real resources matters significantly, precisely because there is no ironclad correlation between government deficits and real resources. People need to learn to go into the real resources framing and then stay there.
Actually, Resilio is not any slower than Dropbox. Syncthing is also faster thans any commercial offering I ever tried. Even Nextcloud sync is fast after an initial init.
A 16-bit length (64k max message size) is usually sufficient, or even 24-bit (16M max) if you really feel the need, but 32 bits is far more than should be needed for parsing messages in memory; it would be fine for a streaming application, however (in which case a 64-bit length wouldn't be a bad idea either.)

On the other hand, I'm glad their price point is consistently low enough for enthusiasts who don't have a grand or two sitting around.
Thanks.

I have a subreddit called HealthWorks. It has no real traction.

I have had several health sites over the years. They get no real traction.

The problem is not setting up a website. I have a zillion of them.

The problem is mostly positioning and framing and getting audience engagement. I've never figured that piece out.

I know a lot about health stuff, so much so that when I begin talking about what you can do for yourself at home, people get all up in arms and accuse me of "practicing medicine without a license" and things like that.

I started a site a few weeks back in reaction to the pandemic called Stop Touching Your Face and someone kindly gave me feedback on positioning it, but I never developed it. I don't think it works to talk about the pandemic and try to address the pandemic directly.

I have a health site about my medical condition. I rarely update it.

I am continuing to think on the problem space and I hope to eventually find a way to talk about stuff and have it go well. But I find it crazy making that people are openly hostile to the stuff I want to talk about. I don't get that.

You know someone with potential solutions in a life threatening situation and your response is rage and downvotes instead of trying to help them figure out how to better talk about it? Are you, like, trying to die or something?

I just honestly don't get that. I never have. It's the same reaction people with my medical condition give me and it makes no sense to me at all.

It seems unlikely that a better but generic and out of patent drug, such as HCQ, would ever be main treatment, recommended by governments and pharma, given how much money is potentially capturable using remdesivir.

As someone on the inside for these debates, perhaps you can tell me what if any justifications the decision makers in pharma make.

I can imagine them saying, at least we'll eradicate HIV, so who cares.

I’ve thought enough about this problem that I don’t think it’s possible to recreate a “native” experience with a cross-platform app. You end up compromising on the nativeness every time. It makes more sense to me to use native GUI frameworks and program your functional logic in something like Rust.
Thanks for the correction! I knew of the distinction, but in my haste I was looking at a different repo (and I blanked that the source hasn't been released and licensed).

Swift looks to be Apache licensed. I'm fairly confident SwiftUI wouldn't have a commercial license, which is a major topic with using Qt.
It never is the plan, I would say. Great products like chrome are made by people that are driven by the idea of making a great product, for the user. But after that is proven, given some time, the shareholders take over and priorities shift.

It wouldn't matter how you signed in for potential abuse to occur if the app itself is untrusted, unfortunately.

The repository doesn't include all of the code that gets included in the app, because it has dependencies. It links those dependencies on the github page, but you have to verify that the dependencies being linked to are the ones the build actually uses. Then check that you like what's in those dependencies. At first glance, a forked version of one of the dependencies is pulled from his own repository instead of the repository linked on the page, so you have to make sure you aren't vetting the wrong repository. Then the release archives package in Electron for you, so that's another thing you're trusting if you don't build it locally.

It doesn't mean anyone is doing anything wrong, but even if they have good intentions good people pull in bad dependencies occasionally too.

Developers as people are innocent until proven guilty. Software is guilty until proven innocent, especially if there's a higher chance of a security risk. Not everyone can assess that well for themselves.
The flu reports are here:

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/annual-flu-reports

The last bad hit on the hospitals was in 2017-2018

"Through the USISS mandatory scheme, a total of 3,454 ICU/HDU admissions of confirmed influenza were reported across the UK from week 40 2017 to week 15 2018, including 372 deaths, based on combined data from England, Scotland and Northern Ireland."

The death rate from anybody admitted to ICU from flu seems to be about 10%.

Admission rates for flu during that bad season was 0.22 per 100k

From what little data there is on Covid-19 it looks like that admission rates to ICU are about 0.30 per 100k, with a wide range (0.20 to 0.40). We won't know the average until it is over.

About 30% die (and again the range is anything up to 50%).

The UK data for Covid-19 in any depth is incomplete.

Japan highly encourages children, starting in middle school, to join clubs; illustration clubs are common, and kids who like to draw will tend to join those. Children are not, on average, very creative (surprisingly!), so when told to create a comic book for such a club, they'll usually create a story with characters resembling themselves/their friends, and a setting resembling a school.

Thus, most adults with illustrative talent in Japan, have usually coincidentally had a lot of formative practice drawing children in school uniforms, starting back when they were children in school uniforms.
I guess you think the possibility of nuclear war or dying in a deadly accident on the freeway are also fake because they haven't happened specifically to you yet, right?
