Since several of the lengths are in fifths of an inch, I thought it was a secret desire for the metric system.
I understand the motivation (it doesn't encourage discussion about the topic at hand), but like to see these criticisms both as a warning before visiting the site and to know more about what things really bug other users and sites that may help quantify them.
On Nvidia cards the RT cores are the ones handling BVH traversal and ray-triangle intersection operations.

The part of the hardware that is running the DLSS ML model are the tensor cores. But the algorithm and the model itself is not baked in, it is provided in the driver and/or game
The idea that a feature like a 'forgive' button to forgive someone for acting out of line is so important that it's being suggested is..harrowing, in my opinion. I see how these features can seem like a good idea, but my issue is that these seems like patches onto a broken system instead of trying to fix things that have contributed to the brokenness.

Instead of creating outrage and then trying to patch it later, we should try to stop the outrage from occurring to begin with, which means the nature of virality-promoting algorithms has to change.
I wonder if there are some khem-khem notable clouds that just don't provide an old-school tty login. /s

That's a good point.. But also keep in mind that the number we need to compare those deaths to isn't the current covid death rate.. it's the death rate that occurs once the hospital system is overwhelmed... since that would be the result if all of the restrictions (that cause the effects you listed) were lifted.
> you could have a debate in almost social media forum you chose ... if we had actual community, it could trump the media it was on.

Perhaps, but not easily. The medium is still the message, and, to pick on Facebook, its design militates against true discourse. Engaging in a debate is an exercise in fighting the tool. For example, FB is intent on making you accidentally miss part of what your opponent has said. Everything from hiding comments, to forcing you to click "read more" over and over again is designed to facilitate misunderstanding and frustration. If an actual debate in good faith is the goal, it is hard to overcome design problems of this sort.

Regarding your rejection of FB as an absolute filter, it remains true that FB decides which posts in your FB group it will show to people, and which ones it won't.
How is ipv6 useful to the end users in this regard?
When people say pulbic IPs are "unique" they mean in the set of public IPs the same IP won't be handed out to two different entities not that each end user gets an IP that identifies them uniquely. There are only 2^32=~4.3 billion IPv4 addresses (a very good chunk of which aren't even publicly routed on the internet) so even if you wanted to it'd be impossible to assign IPs in such a way given the number of users on the internet.

IPv6 doesn't allow you to make this assumption 100% of the time either even though it has 2^128. A /64 is not permanently assigned by an ISP - especially true for mobile services - nor is every end network guaranteed to be a /64, it was just a best practice recommendation. There could be thousands of /127s in a /64 instead. Same can be said of NAT66, it's discouraged but I'm sure some ISP somewhere will do it.

Duplicate IPs for accounts can be one flag to help you look for other signs but it should be by no means proof of anything on its own nor a sign anything funky is going on with a region's internet.
R0 is an observation, and an average at that. So of course there is huge variance, that's the whole reason we need it in the first place.

The Declaration of Independence; an aspirational document saying why the constitution was needed, and also a big F-you to Britain and tyranny around the world.
Are there any existing FHE algorithms with that property, or is it just a theoretical goal for the field?

Every time I've heard FHE mentioned, I've had the same "this sounds like it has all the problems of ECB mode plus some new ones" reaction. This article (like all of the ones I've read) doesn't seem to cover how what you're describing would be achieved.

What is the input to the algorithm that makes two identical cleartexts encrypt to different ciphertexts? In a traditional block cipher, it would be an IV or a "confounder", but IVs are included with the ciphertext, so I'm assuming it's more like a "confounder".

If an FHE algorithm that exists today has this property, how does essentially randomizing the ciphertext not break the ability to perform calculations on it? It seems like whatever does the randomizing would need to be known to all parties in order to take it into account, and so anyone could factor it out in some way to get back to ciphertexts that are identical for identical cleartexts.
Engineering and machining specifications are usually in 0.001” and referred to as thousandth’s or “thou’s”. Tools like wrenches or drill bits use fractions in the form x+1/2^n like 2 1/2 == 2.5”. It goes down to 1/64, I think.

I lived in Britain for over 25 years, and never saw British cups used as a measure.

This is ironic coming from such a math-phobic publication that regards complex numbers and "higher degree polynomials" as too befuddling for its readership:

Really like the ideas here, but I think the underlying problem is the mindset behind attacks and cheap dunks. People who are determined will find a way, they'll screenshot and flame you if they can't do anything else.

Right now it feels like more of a way for attackers to cheaply drive engagement and get likes. I think we need a broader cultural shift of making it not cool to attack someone without an intent to genuinely educate.

Also, at the same time, fundamentally, people use social media for different reasons and you can't necessarily dictate what people should do
Leftists have done no such thing, instead what has happened is that peaceful protesters, even while in the middle of a candlelight vigil or while playing violin music, have been attacked by literal jackbooted thugs and beaten and shot with rubber bullets. If you are so confused by watching Fox News that you are unable to see actual uniformed authoritarian thugs in the streets and recognize them for what they are, as opposed to millions upon millions of ordinary people fighting against tremendous odds for basic dignity, then you need to just take a break from watching tv and maybe attend one of those protests to see what actually is going on.

The United States has a greater prison population per capita than any other country in the world, by a huge margin. The police seize more property every year than the sum total of all theft and burglary. And the levels of police violence we experience should shock you.

And if you think that the people fighting back are the problem, then what makes you believe that if this were East Germany, you wouldn’t be one of the ones supporting the Stasi? What makes you think that if you were living in North Korea that you wouldn’t be a whole hearted supporter of Kim Jong Il? If you were Russian, you would support Putin, if Turkish, you would support Erdogan, because in every country Authoritarianism is the same.

Overlooked No More: Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, Pioneering Gay Activist
I have a lot of junk in my kitchen drawers (admittedly a personal problem) and will opt for measuring directly from the bag into the bowl on a scale over digging around for that quarter cup every time.
I'm very much convinced that one should never admit a mistake on social media after a dogpile. I think there is too much bad faith for a Mea Culpa option to even work. Apologies work well in smaller circles because an apology implies a correction in behavior that's necessary for those around you to trust you again.

In social media people are signalling they don't like your behavior but they don't actually care about you individually.

If Twitter really wants to fix this they should make it against the rules to screenshot or share deleted tweets. It will be much harder to dogpile after someone deletes their tweet if people can't just keep resharing the offending tweet for likes.
The controversies over reinfection were about the idea of immunity passports, which are much more sensitive to small errors - if 10% of people can get a mild reinfection, that's a rounding error in herd immunity but a distastrous gap in immunity passports. Epidemiologists are very confident that people who recover from the virus get substantial and reasonably long-lasting immunity.
Paywalls are ok if there's a workaround. Users usually post workarounds in the thread. Yes, it sucks, but the alternatives suck worse. The Economist has been the source for a lot of good HN discussions, as have other soft-paywalled sites. We don't allow hard-paywalled ones.

Porting and hacking on low level stuff is probably the most interesting thing I can think of for it. That is probably why I keep the machines around. In practice though I hardly have the time to use them.
It's certainly not remote by American standards, but if not for the fact it has a railway station [that's why Clapham (Yorkshire) is on the drop down list of things you might have meant when you ask the railway ticketing system for tickets to Clapham even if you actually meant Clapham Junction the busy interchange in London] it'd be pretty far from anywhere by English standards. And that railway station is a good long walk from the actual village of Clapham anyway.

I went there because they have a very large hole in the ground nearby. A stream flowing over the hills reached a crack formed presumably by repeating freezing and thawing, and worked its way down from the brow of one hill to a river below, over a tremendously long period of time the flowing water has worn a cathedral-sized hole inside the hill. Twice a year tourists can get lowered down to see for themselves, cavers set up a proper winch and safety gear and let idiots like me with no experience wander about and gawp at it for a fee.

Possibly -- but where a CC has a lot of adjunct profs, not staff, I'm not sure they're going to solve a lot of their issues over the summer.

Perhaps at a University, where tenured staff.. and those in the tenure-track, are likely to take the changed circumstances as a mandate to adjust and adapt.

One consideration we've had is signing him up for classes, and making a determination pretty quickly about how online-instruction ready the instructors he ends up with are. If we can drop enrollment for no, or little, $ outlay, we may give it a shot.

But our alternative -- returning to a tutor we used some time ago -- could be a more secure option, unless he's booked full. Which could be the case.
It'd be hard to determine the difference between extra deaths and economic damage because of government actions versus what we would have seen with different or no action. I think, if there had been no government action, people still would've reacted to the pandemic on their own, causing economic damage and a spike in suicides. The difficult part is finding a good model to estimate the difference in effect. But by the time we saw cases on the West and East coasts in the US, there were no "good" options.

We'd also need to account for a drop in deaths from fewer car and workplace accidents.

Replace "convenience" with "low cost of equipping the kitchen" then.
you are missing the point altogether as well.... people dying is a larger problem than missing income as well...

income can be replaced, death is ultimate....

Also, we generally know that for every 1% increase in unemployment, there are 5000 extra death a year... (sickness, suicides, lack of basic items etc) so a 10% increase of unemployment, will cause an extra 50k deaths...

Meanwhile covid has already caused 130k+ deaths. If left completely unchecked it can go into millions territory... (1-2 mil).

If you halve the covid deaths, you can save at least 500k lives, at the collateral expense of 50k lives (due to rising unemployment).
I once worked at a national lab, advising postdocs on compilers and optimization, even though I don't have a degree. Is 20 years of experience worth less than a degree?

Most people I worked with were Ph.D.s who didn't care about their degree or title. They were focused on technical problems and solutions. There was never a statement like "But (s)he doesn't have a degree in this-or-that."

Only insecure managers have ever raised the "degree" issue with me. One manager who stymied my career because I didn't have a degree, was later fired for making a commitment for which a Ph.D. was committed to do the work. The project was late or never completed. The Ph.D. was demoted, but the manager who committed to his work, and who hurt me earlier because I didn't have a degree, was fired. I thought that was Karma.
Not so much. They tend to use phrases such as, 'warning extreme hazard, enter at own risk' or 'risk of serious injury or death ahead' or something along those lines. Much more 'lawyer-talky'. This is very blunt and direct by comparison.

Wireguard does more than 1-1 connections, every computer can connect to as many other computers as you like, you can have computer a connect to computer c via computer b, and vice versa, and longer chains.
The MIDI library on that one is crazy huge. They even have LeChuck's theme from Monkey Island.
Rust similarly nudges you to write the highest-performing-but-still-safe solution. You can opt into "convenience" features that come with some overhead, but that always involves some extra boilerplate so you'll know where a refactor may improve performance. And you can add unsafety, but it will always be clearly marked.

I actually think Rust has a better story of what it "nudges" devs to write. Go strives for a very fuzzy feeling of surface simplicity, but in practice it's way less principled.

Afaik, domestic violence organizations organisations organized by the beginning of lockdown. They did had more work to do then usual and did what they could. It us just not true that this would be completely unaddressed.

Also, while they loudly talked about risks, they were not saying we should not do lockdown. Turns out, abused people get sick too and can get their relatives sick too.
CG-NAT, more specifically DS-Lite, is being used by lots of ISPs in Europe. In Germany, it has been the default for new consumer contracts for ~6 years now.
if we keep the current restrictions.... that's the stipulation
I linked a paper talking about that. Losses are likely on the order of 5% per 1000km. I would think long distance transmission lines could transmit power both east and west which solves some of the time shifting issues. And south to north which solves some of the issue with low irradiance during the winter at high latitudes.

AKA Germany would probably be better off investing solar farms in southern Spain and connecting via long distance transmission lines. Only 1600km or so. Also consider sunset is an hour later in south west Spain.

NiMH batteries do, but who is using those?
If we are going the utilitarian route... Is a covid death worth same as an unemployment death? I sort of assumed most covid deaths were elderly people that have already lived full lives so only 5-10 years of life are lost per death. A suicide of a 30 year old on the other hand is ~50 years of life down the drain...

> The issue of charging was also there with BEVs, until Tesla straight up built a huge network of superchargers. The players in hydrogen say they will do the same.

The fact that EV players actually delivered and built charging networks should offer plenty of proof as to which technology is more viable.

It took decades to build out the network of gas stations across countries. The reason it took much less to build out charging networks is because the power grid already existed, we already had 95% of the infrastructure for delivering the "fuel" for EVs.

But hydrogen companies are still talking as if it's super simple to build out a hydrogen infrastructure. Why would that not take decades as well? And that's assuming there was some kind of massive consumer demand for hydrogen vehicles, which there just isn't.
I was a heavy Delphi user back in the day (late-90's/early 2000's) it was way ahead of the curve in terms of RAD that didn't gimp you as a developer.

Shame they decided to go for the large enterprise insanely expensive end of the market, if they'd done a decent commercial version for a 10th the price they'd have done much better.

Though the writing was on the wall as the cost of development tools trended towards zero - JetBrains have continued to prove that if you provide enough utility competing against free can be profitable.
Neal Stephenson's latest book ("Fall, or Dodge in Hell") has a subplot around this that I really wish he'd developed further - I think it's the best part of the book.
I’d argue that they have changed because they support two different shapes, now, with mobile versions.

Ventilators are definitely not ineffective. Obviously it's not a treatment but a measure to keep the patient alive and prolong the time for the patients own immune response to fight the virus. Studies show a 30% mortality rate among ICU patients. Without ventilation this would be closer to 100% because patients without ventilation would suffocate.

I would say one of the tenet of the Bible and other holy books is that there are immutable. It's the words of God, and he doesn't make mistakes. (In theory at least, I've heard the Bible's translations haven't always been kind to the original text.)

That's a huge difference with the constitution, a fundamental one I'd say. And, most of the time, the people I see treating the constitution as gospel denies this very important mutability. The founding fathers were right and will always be right. The constitution must not be ammended, it is already perfect.
And all kinds of other public WiFi hotspots as well, e.g. coffee shops, WiFi in parks, etc.
It's a valuable descriptive statistic, but it's very prone to misinterpretation. I've seen a lot of people follow sites like rt.live, where they claim to produce "up-to-date-values for R" and draw (their arbitrary estimate of) R=1 as the dividing line between good and bad. So I'm not sure it ends up as a net positive to the public's understanding of the virus.
That would be very surprising considering how small it is compared to eg Europe alone.

Go play with this web site and look at the optimal solutions (for producing constant power output) under various cost assumptions, using real weather data.

Generally, the best solutions involve some overbuilding, some storage, and some combination of solar and wind. For sunny places, solar + batteries (+ a little hydrogen); for windy places, wind + hydrogen (+ a little solar and batteries).
The reason why it’s cheaper for some guy to just dig a cable themselves is simple: 80% of network construction costs are labor costs.

There's a similar binary analysis on the other side, where a patient that recovers after two weeks on a ventilator counts as a success, but that outcome isn't quite equivalent to never getting sick.
