I'm not sure if you mean to, but you sound a bit dismissive.

It seems exactly like the kind of habits complex emotional creatures like humans develop. And it's not nearly as bad a habit as some other stuff, like addiction etc, which most people do understand. Even though the effects on ones life can be just as catastrophic.

Bruce's reviews were singularly masterful. He consistently condensed valuable layers of meaning into terse prose in a way that I have never experienced otherwise. As I would uncover these layers during repeated readings, I would develop the unshakable feeling that even as brilliant as Bruce was, he must have put great care and effort into his writing.

Here is a preprint that shows HCQ plus Zinc is effective.
My knowledge on this matter comes only from watching a few YouTube videos. From that it has seemed all along that the treatment required is HCQ + Zinc. Zinc is what stops viral replication and HCQ helps get Zinc into the cells.
So why are so many trials not using Zinc.

> This can only work from a market perspective if they either are big enough to drive such a momentum of customer...

It's Apple. Developers will make software releases in just months if they think the market will be there, and they will. Knowing that a new market is opening up that is not so crowded (like Nintendo Switch), will make developers very, very happy.

Even Palm Pilot succeeded. You just have to convince people that Mac-users are willing to pay for software, which seems to be the case.

The amount of developers nowadays are also crazy.
This is why I think we need to be careful when considering a ban on facial recognition. Pandora's box is open.

Even if we do decide on some kind of ban, we need to assume facial recognition will always be used by someone, somewhere, and design our social systems to account for that fact.

That's not true.

In UK for example anti slavery movements are born during the civil war as well.

But chattel slavery was already abolished for a period in the 12th century, before the Norman occupation that reinstated it.

US abolished it after a civil war because every other country already did it without having to kill each other, but civil war was really about money and taxation.

It didn't start to abolish slavery.
It's harder to get actors to respond realistically to an animated robot than a physical one. Depending on what you want, I could well see this being cheaper and easier.

I have submitted multiple bugs for ZoL, from prohibiting boot of zfs as root (for the sake of boot beeing faster (?) they are not doing zpool import -a(f) but rather rely on cache file which is... crazy). Also the .zfs/snapshot still doesnt work. Both are vital issues and still not beeing fixed.

Boot on Linux laptop now looks like:

- power on

- wait for recovery shell

- `zpool import -a`

- `exit`

In all my years I have never observed this on FreeBSD and... as I have said, I expect from FreeBSD to be rock solid and it never dissapointed.

ZoL? I wouldn't be running it on my linux servers for a while. The basic mistakes that they are doing are not something that apriciate from file system that is meant to be as reliable as possible.

It doesn't take much compute to handle high-end eth/wifi if you offload it to hardware, and even doing it on-CPU (which I don't think is actually common) probably wouldn't impact RAM/storage, so you could still manage with a stronger CPU and comically tiny memory.

There is no "death rate" metric. There is CFR (case fatality rate) and IFR (infection fatality rate). We know that there are many more infections than known cases, and serological studies point to total IFR <1%, with massive stratifications by age (<50 having extremely few fatalities, and >50 having increasing IFR every age bracket).
Isn’t the process already opaque? They already claim to take many factors into account.
> Or alternatively, perhaps we are in a simulation?

A relatively cheap one, considering that if this planet is the only one inhabited, the other star systems can be approximated and don't require full simulation.

Consider that time slows down when the speed is increased. This would be a good thing to do to restrict the computational requirements. And there's growing evidence that everything is quantized. Given that we probably can't measure anything smaller than a Planck length, that's the simulation resolution.

That's probably not what's going on (the simulation hypothesis could be the 'magnetism' of our era) but it is fun to think about.
It’s like saying the US lost when it canceled the Space Shuttle. Both projects were massively expensive failures that never met operational requirements.

at least Canada canceled theirs before it drove the cost of space access through the roof and killed 17 people.
FreeBSD is a tremendous project. I've used it since the 4.x days, first for work (web/mail/database hosting, at the time) and then for personal projects.

I have a 2000-era desktop PC as a personal server that I had left collect dust until very recently after switching to Macs for daily work long ago. It was running 6.1 and I hadn't booted it in a few months shy of ten years. I booted it right up, and in an afternoon proceeded to, in small stages, update it to the latest 12.1 release, which I am running with great stability now, including live repartitioning and better use of the available disk space after going into single-user admin mode. "Recent" improvements that I've been appreciating have been a smaller/more dense console font, easier wireless configuration (it has an Atheros-based PCI wifi card), and easier and more clear package and ports management. AND it still runs fast.

Relatedly, a paper was posted to bioRxiv a few days ago describing the results of large scale fruit fly release-and-recapture experiments. They conclude the abstract with "Our field data do not support a Lévy flight model of dispersal, despite the fact that our experimental conditions almost perfectly match the core assumptions of that theory."

Whether exams, which solely focus on academics, are effective for selecting talents is definitely up to challenge. That's a whole different topic from which system is less likely to be biased or gamed, though.

Just to fact check one thing: cram schools and rote learning for elementary students are rampant because of cut-throat competition for students to get into middle schools, but it's not that much in high school. Sooner or later you just can't rote learning any more. It's like one can probably rote learn James' Calculus, but good luck with Stein's or Rudin's Analysis. Besides, remember most of the good teachers are in public schools? The quality of cram schools was pathetic compared with what's offered by public schools, so the cram schools don't make much of a dent.

One of the most elegant paper series I've ever read is her "More Types for Nested Data Parallelism" (https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/351240.351249) + the preceding NESL / segmented scan papers by Guy Blelloch (https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~guyb/papers/Nesl2.0.pdf) . They helped lead to our GPU journey for starting Graphistry, and why we bet on GPU dataframes (ex: RAPIDS.ai) eventually overtaking Spark and friends even before DataBricks was a company :) If you do pandas/tensorflow/numpy/sql/etc., this stuff is amazing.

Fun to see come full circle here!
It's kind of impossible to condense a 6 volume dense manga into a feature... I read somewhere that even Jodorowsky chipped in some advice for the ending.

For me the anime shines as a companion to the manga. It's the same age old problem: an ultra rich story dumbed down for the screen.

As to the graphics: 1988 Akira looks anything but dated. I used to watch a lot of anime and it ages amazingly well. They just dont make them like that anymore. Cell animation at it's best with very little CGI.

If you want to enjoy Akira as the creators intended, read the manga first. Then listen to the soundtrack a couple of times. Then sit down and watch it with on a good screen and a loud sound system. Anything less is a felony.

Someone should add this shameful piece to the Harvard wikipedia page as a main section. History will repeat itself if they hide it. I learned of this recently, the President of the college said something along the lines of if we accept x amount of Jewish people then other people won't want to come to the college anymore. Disgusting.

I'm not a conservative, but I agree with this piece by the American Conservative: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/the-myth-of...

Notice how Jewish admissions tanked after the college found a socially acceptable anti-semitic policy.
This, sadly, conforms very well with my experience of lower-income/higher-minority schools. I was a volunteer teacher (for a program teaching young ones to code with Scratch, once weekly) at a number of West Philly grade 1-12 schools for a few years, and the environment in those schools was obviously to the detriment of the students. Wonderful kids, but it's no wonder that so many won't make it to a better life when they're taught nothing of value, but are taught that they're to be feared, derided, and not cared for from a young age. I kid you not, the average SAT math score from one school I taught at was in the 300s (and of course, less than 10% of those graduating took the SAT/ACT) — you can score a 300 on the SAT math without answering a single question correctly. The students were taught nothing at all. There was constant cacophony of teachers yelling all the time, I saw multiple police in the halls every day, had to be scanned myself going in. The whole thing was ridiculous, and it's only clear purpose was to imprison those wonderful children in the poverty and destitution they were born into
The title is click-bait. This and other steroids have been used by doctors against COVID-19 from the beginning. So have blood thinners, and plenty of other medications, and even radiation. From what has been gathered so far, COVID leads to an attack on the endothelial layer of your blood vessels that is responsible for clotting. That causes potentially permanent damage and if immunity doesn't last long, also potentially accumulating cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal damage. From there COVID or the body's immune response can hit multiple organs at different times turning your life into a flimsy house of cards. Medicines for one organ can kill another (blood thinner targeting a clot in your body can and does cause a stroke, or some other issue). Just like a little push of the gas pedal or the breaks. The driver's (your doctor's) skill is far more important than a single medicine at this point.
Rust support is categorized as Tier 2 at Dropbox. Do you work at Dropbox? You can go look for the language approval list, which documents this.

Tier 2 means it requires approval. That is massively different from "forbidden". There is, for example, a Tier 3 list - Java is on there, some other languages, they're discouraged a lot more strongly than Rust though you'll still find them in some parts of the codebase (primarily acquired code from what I recall). Approval is only required for business/ product dev - non product teams can very easily write rust, at least one is currently doing so.

Tier 2 means it has internal library support, such as the communication library. That means there is, at all times, active rust development - and of course this is true, the most critical parts of Dropbox are written in Rust, and they rely on those libraries.

You can also very easily find out about the existing projects being written in Rust. Go ask the rust-lang channel. Last I saw, maybe 6 months ago, Rust was being used for another major component of the product - obviously I'm not commenting publicly on that further.

> Those nations also haven't lost a war in which the rest of the world told them, "hey, stop, you're being really evil and you're wrong."

The Ottoman Empire did, they were allied with Germany in WW1, lost and Turkey was all that remained of the empire. It hasn't change the tune, though. Japan did as well, and they're also ahead of the world average, but I believe it's still quite a way off from the Western approach. They have become more pacifist than Western countries though.

> There's probably nothing special about Western Europeans/Germany in this regard except for the fact that they were forced to come to terms with their crimes.

I don't think that's accurate. The US, France or the UK did not lose a war either, yet they very much did look at their past atrocities. Not enough, I'm sure some will argue, but still a lot more than the world average.

> This system uses CBC so changes to the ciphertext have predictable consequences for some of the plaintext including the MAC.

Specifically they have predictable consequences for the next block so if the MAC is at the end of the Nth block you can change the ciphertext of block N-1. You still have the problem that this changes both the plaintext and the MAC so the attack would still fail. Or so I thought until I read through https://gist.github.com/defuse/0822a9c6d70ab4939c95 to understand the attack. The MAC here fills at least a whole block allowing independent changes to the MAC and the plaintext.

Yeah, okay this is definitely weird. I sort of get banning outright fake news and Zerohedge is a very shady website, sure.But the Federalist's article is not fake news. You can disagree with it, but it's part of a debate on the media coverage of the protests. People have always complained about media being unfair and biaised. Is it now promoting hate and misinformation to criticize the media? Or do we have to just trust NBC to judge if the media did adequately cover violence or not?

At this point we have moved from arguing for taking down false stories to taking down criticism in... A month? That's a little bit insane and scary

And I get that advertisers don't want to run their ads on controversial stories, but the Federalist is all about politics and it is to be expected that ads running there will be... Political, no?

Exactly!

A common refutation of the simulation hypothesis is that the computer would have to be impossibly large.

Not so. As long as the host universe has different physical laws. For instance, simulating Minecraft using Minecraft redstone logic itself would probably take an impossibly large "computer". Yet, we can do that easily, as we have nanoscale transistors.

Similarly, add just one more dimension to the host universe and you could build amazing machines (imagine instead of a 3D circuit board, a 4D, with all the extra arrangements it could provide). The host universe could be even crazier than this, with a whole different set of physical laws.

Unless we find a sandbox vulnerability, we'll probably never know.

Are conservative statements on, say, ending illegal immigration really any more controversial than leftist statements on encouraging illegal immigration? Far more than half of America is against illegal immigration yet the AP, newsrooms across America, Universities, etc refuse to even use the term illegal immigration and recognize the problem for what it is, in spite of the majority of America's agreement on the seriousness of the problem.

It seems that in this case, and in many others, it's really the Leftist position that is "controversial" while the Rightist position is simply not popular among the Leftist elite.

The ones who dictate what is "controversial" or not are often just wielding that term as propaganda for whichever side they support.
