If it's something that's common and "there are many things that can cause it", what exactly do I need to be worried about? Serious question, give me some context writer. For all I know GGO's are extremely common, come and go, and could be caused by something as routine as sitting around a campfire.

My neighbor is a cop (sergeant) in a midwest town of roughly 300K people. His base salary is $95k, and last year he earned $40k in overtime. He's been with the PD for roughly 22 years. Police start at $56k. There academy training is paid for by the city.

In contrast, teachers start out at $46k, and are required to have a BA, plus teaching credential that they pay for themselves. The maximum a teacher can earn in the city is capped at $88K, and that requires a PhD plus 24 years of experience.

If teachers got paid overtime, they'd be the highest paid employees in the nation.

On the point of the feedback loop, if we picture musical preferences as a mountain, with most-listened to stuff at the peak, I've been wondering what would happen if these algorithms (particularly Youtube's and Deezer's, but Spotify's a bit as well) would slide the mountain a little farther down instead of optimizing for the peak.

So to over-simplify, something like instead of saying "You just listened to an RPG soundtrack, here's another RPG soundtrack!" it would say "You just listened to an RPG soundtrack, here's a symphony".

The idea is to lengthen the links of recommendations to encourage more exploration and wider discovery rather than circling the same narrow interest constantly.
I think people should remain open to possibilities.

People started dropping like flies from AIDS in the 1980s from an otherwise completely benign virus they had for 10-12 years, which we didn't know existed and later identified as HIV. A virus which now we are still tracing further and further back, earliest human infection now being 1909. Everything that happened over the last century co-existed with a virus we didn't know was around and slowly incubating and slowly spreading.

The similarity being that we know it is possible, and its really opportunistic infections that cause issues with HIV. With SARS-CoV-2 we have identified A virus and have been trying to trace its origin and are still trying to understand its actual effects.

But maybe its not alone and isn't new.

So therefore it is a non-negligible possibility that there is an additional opportunistic infection that causes issues with SARS-CoV-2.

Or we can dismiss it as a false positive and not mention it at all.

Omnibars and browsers "guessing what you want" in general is pretty trash. I'm having an issue with the Firefox one:

If I type a word, like "resolv" into the omnibar, it gives me the option to "search with google". Great. But if I type in "resolv.conf", it by default wants to "visit" (thinking .conf. is a tld)... but it doesn't even show me the option to "search with google" in the dropdown! I've literally had to resort to typing "google resolv.conf" which is a super gross way of going about it.

I don't know if combining search and URLs in one box was ever a good idea. I feel I preferred the dual-box layout, where you had a URL bar on the left and a search bar on the right.
The idea that every news article and blog post needs a cover image is one of the worst things to happen to the Web in terms of information density and bandwidth usage.
Could Meshtastic alleviate this?
If you don’t cache thumbnails, that’s true, but that’s too slow, so you cache thumbnails.

If you do that, you only have to read the whole image the first time. Once you created the thumbnails, you only need to read them, and they’re a lot smaller, and can be put in a single file.

The proposed approach reads a significant part of each file to determine whether the cached thumbnail is still current. That doesn’t give a huge improvement over not caching thumbnails at all (factor of 5 in bytes read/network traffic, as a rough guess, likely less in disk seeks)

The US was incapable of responding to the imminent danger of the pandemic threat that was one month out. It's impossible that they will respond to a much more abstract threat decades into the future. It's beyond absurd to even propose this as a realistic idea. I don't think most other countries are much different in this regard. Climate change won't be stopped because most people don't want to stop it and almost all people in charge most certainly do not want to stop it. And like the article says, changing on a personal level is completely useless. On a personal level, why even try?

A lot of schools in many paces are quite short on funding and probably thought there were larger priorities for budget so long as Flash continued to operate for them.
> Most of the problems you listed are because you want to use a laptop to work for some reason. Ewww. Why anyone would want to optimize for working in trains, planes, automobiles, hotel rooms and meetings - I'll never understand.

Because a lot of development requires only a couple cores, maybe 8GB of RAM, and a few free GB for the database or dataset (at most, probably a few hundred free MB). If you aren't simulating large networks, doing serious number crunching (HPC-styled or ML), or into graphics heavy development, a laptop is more than enough for most work.

I want to say most, but that's an assumption on my part, but a lot of computing is about encoding business rules that could be done by passing paper around an office or larger complex and making it digital (though obviously not with the speed and reliability that's often wanted or needed). Message passing, filtering, connecting to databases, verifying data integrity, connecting multiple DBs and auto populating them, etc. None of that requires a powerful computer to develop.

Even the embedded work I've done is really just business rules for safety critical systems: If this reaches some temp, send a signal to the pilot, pilot can optionally release halon. If pilot sends "release halon", then release the halon. Nothing about that or the target platform (16MHz processor with memory measured in KB, maybe double-digit MB) required a powerful computer for development considering that the earlier versions were written on, maybe, 386s.

Just because you do things that require lots of RAM, disk space, and fast cores don't assume everyone else needs that. I used to do a lot of graphics work, and the laptop barely did the job. A full tower was what I needed (especially as I wanted to use CUDA and/or OpenCL and move a lot of numeric work associated with it to the GPU). If I were doing machine learning I'd be in that same boat. But I'm not, most of us aren't.
> It is an act which is protected by the First Amendment in the US Constitution.

Which is just a piece of paper. It has absolutely no power to protect you. Only a government that respects it can do that, and it's a certainty that our government will, from time to time, completely disregard that document when it feels the need to.

People have good rational reasons for hiding all sorts of legal activities they participate in.

On the standardization issue: the advantage of such a method that we presented is that as long as there exists a standard for model specification, we can encode every image with an arbitrary computational graph that can be linked from the container.

Imagine being able to have domain specific models - say we could have a high accuracy/precision model for medical images (super-close to lossless), and one for low bandwidth applications where detail generation is paramount. Also imagine having a program written today (assuming the standard is out), and it being able to decode images created with a model invented 10 years from today doing things that were not even thought possible when the program was originally written. This should be possible because most of the low level building blocks (like convolution and other mathematical operations) is how we define new models!

On noise: I'll let my coauthors find some links to noisy images to see what happens when you process those.

My quick and dirty trick for finding the actual recipe in a long blog post:

Ctrl+F "print".

Probably 90+% of websites use some tool to format the actual recipe, so the actual recipe pretty consistently includes a link for printing it. Search for the word "print", and it takes you to the part of the page that has the recipe.

(You don't actually have to click the link. It's just a landmark for navigation within the page.)

Occam's razor suggests un-wise decisions like re-opening bars in the midst of an unprecedented global pandemic, and undermining currently-accepted best practices like having the general public wear masks, would be the first things one should consider in determining the cause of recent Covid spikes in Texas.

Not saying protests couldn't / don't have an effect. Saying that if we want to determine the root cause of the dramatic rise of Covid-19 in Texas, let's be logical about it.

[EDIT: Instead of calling Texas's decisions stupid, I changed my language to "un-wise", in the interests of precision.]

Unfortunately, the incentive structure at Wikipedia has challenges. Editors suffer under every ounce of abuse but the cost of excluded contributions is nearly invisible and not felt personally by anyone.

The result is that convincing people to take even small risks (of abuse) or costs (of tech measures to mitigate abuse without compromising user privacy) is extremely hard.

2) Remind your recipient if the content you sent is about to expire.
3) (Optionally) notify you to let you know when your recipient has downloaded your content.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I've noticed a lot of preprints seem to be getting shared and promoted, and the interest in bio/med research has naturally spiked. I think it's good to have a reminder that preprints are not peer reviewed, and that you should be very careful as to what conclusions you draw from preprint publications, especially in ones outside of your area of expertise. Peer review isn't perfect, but there have been some recent threads on HN and news stories based on preprints with glaring issues that would have been caught in peer review. Furthermore, even peer review not being perfect should give you a reason to pause and reconsider how much weight you want to give individual articles, especially ones that haven't even gone through that most basic filter of being read over by a scientist or two before being plopped into a megajournal somewhere. There's a lot of incentive for people to publish big, eye catching conclusions, especially right now, so it's a good idea to both be cautious of anything you read in a preprint and pause for a second before sharing a preprint with a stunning finding.

Also, - could it make sense for HN to have preprint submissions have a tag like [PREPRINT] in the title? So people scrolling through and just reading titles would have a quick indication of what headlines are based on preprints? It could be helpful in providing the context necessary to interpret links shared to HN and to fighting the spread of misinformation or bad science.
I wouldn't be too cocky if you're healthy. I got hit with a nasty flu in the early 2000's and never recovered. It was like someone flicked a switch and I went from young perfectly healthy to a low grade off an on flu since then. This happened with SARs in 2003 and is well documented. For the first year you think you are just run down, but then it never improves for decades and you just sort of miss out on your whole life.

Having absolutely 0 insight or parameter tuning on these recommendations algorithms, from feeds to Spotify playlists, is really a shame. Like imagine you had 0 control on your computer parameters or smartphone, and it was always guessing like “This resolution should suit you”, “I just turned the WiFi off, hope you like it”, or “I just dialed that friend you seem to like to interact with”. It’s not a technical problem, I know there must be advertising incentive to not allow settings, but still the result when you think of it is ridiculous, having to reverse engineer algorithms and create alternate profiles just to emulate lacking UI for parameters.
Having the games, etc., really isn't the issue at all, it's making them.
I've published in mainstream publications, and while I see that point, arguably, the quality of writing is measured by how much it changes the mind of the reader, and not how it emulates prior art that may have been well-received by critics. I would even say that writing that doesn't change the mind of the reader is basically on a spectrum of porn.

By that measure, the 4 Hour Workweek was a great bit of writing. I like triads, so I'd say it's a balance of Topic, Timing, and Talent. Three is best, but if you aren't a contender with two, you don't have a chance. I've been thinking about returning to it as a vocation, but don't think the economics of writing make sense right now, hence the question.

Ideally you'd be completely right. A professional with a rifle is far safer with less chance for unintended consequences (even if the chances are low regardless). Also incredibly expensive compared to what amounts to a spring-loaded poison trap (someone else in this thread linked the actual manual for the thing).

Given that nobody wants to pay what it'd cost to do invasive/native species control with a fleet of professionals shooting things one at a time (even for species where that's theoretically an option), worse alternatives are often used.

I may be old or disconnected, but it seems like the like of the flash animator community won't be seen again. Where will we find another Homestar Runner or Weebl?

It was the right tool at just the right time. It was well able to deliver animations and interactive multimedia with the one tool and ecosystem. While the JS/HTML5 tools can manage animations and multimedia, it seems like the environment, libraries and tools are much more spread out... which perhaps discourages animators, while developers are used to working in such a way.
