Sick or well does not matter. The general public is not capable of determining what is good advice and what is bad advice on complex topics. That is why experts exist.

Well, considering if it's an embedded/utility device with a screen (that isn't a phone) there's a greater than 50% chance it's running some form of windows, I wouldn't consider that statement true at all.

-- edit below

For examples, the displays at restaurants are about 50-50 linux/windows... airport displays are > 50% and same for billboards... Bank ATMs are almost all Windows, which are all over the place.

-- edit 2

I don't think that linux doesn't have a place, and for non-display embedded devices is definitely the leader. I was mainly pointing that windows ce portables were not even the biggest point of windows embedded use, or even that it wasn't widespread.
You keep denying it as if no one watches the video themselves
The point of his analogy was not to create sympathy for the inexperienced friend but rather to demonstrate one can both go wildly off course and simultaneously want to be saved. In fact to so desperately want to be saved that it becomes the very thing which puts one off course.
Yeah, looks like a typo. There should be 3 valid order: xzy, xyz, and yxz, if I understood the premise right.
Fine also for keychain-sized multitools, in my experience.

She and his mother tried to turn him away from that course early on. He eventually took her along with him on the alt med journey, but not until after -

"At first I was like, 'how are you going to cure your own cancer?' I was just so shocked, I told him, 'I really don’t think you should do this.'

"I wasn’t supportive and neither was [his] mum but slowly but surely we got completely sucked into this world."
Hi Replwoacause! Do you have any additional information on what your individual needs might be? It would be very helpful to us to know what tools you currently use, and why those tools are useful to you. We have received a lot of positive feedback and some feature requests, so we are trying to group feature requests by common use cases.

iGPT: GPT-2 used for Image Generation
It's a great article. Related, for Common Lisp: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/type.html

and also:

- https://medium.com/@MartinCracauer/static-type-checking-in-t... (by an author of the CLASP implementation, C++ & LLVM for CL)

- https://github.com/stylewarning/coalton - a library (pre-alpha): adding Hindley-Milner type checking to Common Lisp which allows for gradual adoption, in the same way Typed Racket or Hack allows for. It is as an embedded DSL in Lisp that resembles Standard ML or OCaml, but lets you seamlessly interoperate with non-statically-typed Lisp code (and vice versa).
I'm not forgetting about that. I'd bet if New York and California public services were run as efficiently as The Netherlands or Germany (producing good service for the dollar), people would not only not be leaving, but would be willing to spend more money in taxes in those states.

It's not much better/worse than any modern linux desktop distribution... My biggest issues with the linux side usually come down to dealing with the one off issues that seem to popup on major updates... and never, ever try to use brand new hardware for you daily driver with linux unless you are prepared to deal with said frustrations.
> How can a virus which supposedly 'naturally evolved' in a totally unrelated animal species (bats) be so well adapted to spreading between humans? Intuitively, that doesn't make sense.

Rather than simply berate as sibling comments have done, I'm going to try and explain it as I understand it (also as a layperson).

Basically, you have the compatibility at the wrong level, and the effect backwards.

Bats and humans are very different from each other when taken as a whole, but if you dive into the smaller structures, they're much more similar. Lungs, heart, blood, etc, and well as deeper to cells. Viruses adapt at those levels, able to attack cells with specific structures, so when they jump species those similar structures are what get attacked. This is why it appears well-adapted to humans, because it is well-adapted to similar cell structures shared between animals.

As for the effect: The viruses in total exist at that same level, and our bodies haven't adapted to them, so we have no strong defense* in the form of antibodies. On top of that, it's a respiratory virus, where simple breathing can spread it rather than requiring some sort of physical contact. Those two reasons combined are why it spreads so fast.

* Not exactly true, I'm simplifying. We do have defenses, they just don't seem to be as effective against this virus. See "innate immune system" for un-targeted defenses that work on a variety of invaders, and "adaptive immune system" for the one that creates antibodies.
Everyone involved in this disinformation are murderers.

Instagram hosting false cures (memes) like thermographic scans, coffee enemas, and other whackadoodle bullshit is profiting from death, misery, despair.

I'd have a wee bit more tolerance for Freedom Speeches™ advocates, and their specious slippery slope blather, if they acknowledged that rights come with responsibilities. So go ahead and tell your lies. And then rot in jail.

Similarly, Freedom Markets™ assumes rational actors with perfect information. I invite everyone who blames the victims to hang out in the oncology waiting room, see the desperation. Tell me that if it was your child or your husband sitting there, you wouldn't do absolutely anything, no matter the cost or the long odds.
> You can look up economic studies on the marginal utility (satisfaction/benefit) of wealth for an individual, and it’s absolutely the consensus that it declines rapidly the more you have.

They are all based on complete and utter misunderstanding of what 'marginal utility' means.

If Jeff Bezos is planning to cure old age with his 1 Trillion dollars, then the marginal utility of an additional $100 million for him would be a lot more than to an underemployed barista with a $100k debt which will be wiped off with that money whereas Bezos would get to live forever with that money. So which one has a higher marginal utility, that $100 million for Bezos or it given to other individuals.

That doesn't mean that the study should have asked what they wanted to do with that money, but that these things aren't comparable at all to each other. This is just a roundabout way to justify taxation.
Ironic, as that is exactly what the unwoke people think about the woke people. They see it as an ideology that you have to "take the knee" to, a ka "follow orders", to be accepted into the community.
> if you hire people who look different, then you will very likely get people with heterogeneous viewpoints, which will make an organization stronger

I know studies have shown this at the organizational level, but has there been much work teasing apart cause and effect? You can make a case that organizations welcoming of different viewpoints outperform for that reason, and they attract and retain diverse people for the same reason.
> how do we gather improvements that are worthwhile and specific enough to solve our problems...?

My teams have tried many ways, and we like using a lightweight template thanks to medical professionals: https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/issues/blob/master/TE...
"how do you know he's wrong?"

In short; we don't. Science is not about who's right and who's wrong. Science is about carefully formulating plausible theories, and then proving or disproving those through rigorous research, experimental results, referencing previous verifiable research work, and thorough peer review. Even then not a single research paper will claim to be absolute truth; there is always room for doubt, criticism and altering views based on followup research. It's a slow learning process based on a lot of trial and error.

What was posted above were a lot of wild claims flying directly in the face of broadly accepted knowledge accumulated by decades of diligent cancer research. The lack of any reliable sources to back up those claims makes it more than likely to be just misinformation and not to be taken seriously. Besides, the way the post read and how quickly such a long epistle was posted felt more like it was simply copy-pasted from some conspiracy theorist's manifest, rather than written by someone genuinely interested in taking part in the discussion.
> Now if we can just figure out traffic in the Cottonwoods.....

This problem is actually the main reason I haven't moved to SLC yet. So much of the draw there is about being able to get up into (and out of) the mountains quickly, and during ski season (as you know but other readers might not) it can get really terrible. Like worse than I-70 west of Denver terrible

I have tried the ski bus approach, but had a frightening experience of being on one of the last buses down on a crowded day when LCC went into an interlodge event. I have heard a lot of proposals for solving the problem, from gondola to restricting car access and pushing people toward the buses, but so far I think there is no end in sight?
You are not alone, no matter what the downvotes say.
When I was a teenager, the only gun safety and hunter training classes in my area were organized by the NRA. They were the only classes most ranges and hunting groups would accept, so we all took them. I'm not sure they'd be recognizable by anyone in today's NRA. A lot of emphasis was placed on proper use, and one of those "improper" uses was a gun for intimidation.

My instructor, in a deeply-conservative area of a deeply-conservative state state, was appalled at the idea of "open carry," and our instructional material warned against it as a bad idea. I wanted to look him up a few years ago when people were getting all bothered about Starbucks' firearms policy to see what he thought but he'd passed away a year before.
There's a reason for that, macOS loads a specific fan curve that prefers silence over performance, only kicking in a the last moment before the CPU overheats. This focus on silence also costs them in performance, but as long as the laptop is fast enough for most people, the raw performance probably doesn't matter to them.

Windows doesn't about the thermal limits Apple put into place in their devices, so just treats it like a regular old laptop: boosting with fans turning whenever it needs to. However, it needs drivers to read the temperatures from the device and as far as I know, the Windows driver for reading those on Apple hardware aren't great (if they're available at all). This means Windows on a Mackintosh will always perform worse, because it doesn't have the same thermal information input as macOS has.
Humans have hunted mammoths and other dangerous animals with low tech weapons and a lot of ingenuity, planning and teamwork.

So I would not be surprised if it was extreme confidence.
Short hair, color of a deer, long tail, claws... it sounds to me based solely on that description like a mountain lion. Makes me wonder if the townsfolk had not seen one before, so assumed it to be a 'weird looking wolf'. Then again, how one got there in the first place would be interesting.
Those pockets are quite ugly though. The huge flap, the gaping phone slit. The advantage of the ones in the original article is they are pretty invisible.
"However, if one was knowledgeable enough to read thousands of academic papers, from various fields (outside of oncology) -- one could develop a more tailored plan for the individual that accounts for these other factors."

Have you done so? Has anyone who follows "non-standard" approaches? (Yes, I'm aware that a few instances have; they generally become the "standardized approach", too.)
US citizens can start med school right after graduating high school at an English program in Poland. Understandably this is out of the realm of reality for many people but for those who are adventurous the ROI is simply astounding. I've met people who have done so and had no issues starting residency when people they went to high school with are already in massive debt and just starting med school in the US.
If you are saying that the State should tell companies how to spend their money on internal management... then you don't really believe in private property at all.

These people are spending their own money to turn the company around. Who the F is the State to tell them they are doing it wrong? Who the F are you to tell them to spend their own money differently?
Looks like a clone of Bear, which is an awesome mark-down based note app: https://bear.app/

Edit: This is nice, it's also out on linux and windows, unlike Bear which was one of the big negatives for me (day job is on Windows 10 where a note app like this is lacking). Def giving it a try.
This just reports that Twitter reported something. Also, the Twitter announcement already has a HN discussion:

Better comparison: trousers are how middle (and upper middle) class Americans cosplay as their millionaire (and billionaire) CEOs.
I'm no blaze/bazel expert (hopefully someone will add their own thoughts), but:

1. build graphs are trees/acyclic : bazel enforces this, no cyclic dependencies allowed
2. Compilers will always modify the timestamps on every file they are expected to output : if a write happens why not update mtime? nanosecond precision, what year is it?
3. It's possible to tell the compiler which file to write its output to : makes no sense to me, we expect our compilers to be writing to the correct files in the correct directories.
4. It's possible to predict in advance which files the compiler will update : yes it is, this is how caching works again see (1)
5. It's possible to determine the dependencies of a target without building it : yes yes it's completely possible given (1)
6. Detecting changes via file hashes is never the right thing : Bazel i think uses a combination of hashes and stamps, but why would using hashes not work 99.99999999999999998% of the time?
7. Non-experts can reliably write portable shell script : lol, experts can't reliably write portable shell scripts either
8. Your build tool is a great opportunity to invent a whole new language: or just coopt pieces of one (python: starlark, skylark)
9. Said language does not need to be a full-featured programming language : yes, it doesn't (again .bzl files)
10. Said language should be based on textual expansion : not sure what the alternative to textual expansion (parsing?) is
11. Adding an Nth layer of textual expansion will fix the problems of the preceding N-1 layers : again how is this different from parsing
The comparison matrix made me close the tab immediately.

Carhartt makes pants with a "cell-phone" pocket that approximates the author's design. They're great -- they've become a stalwart in my rotation. Durability is mixed, but I'm in love with the pocket.

People here seem to be struggling for what to do with 64TB of memory.

The obvious ones are fluid dynamics, weather simulations, n-body problems, and simulation of quantum systems.

I know that Capital One gave a talk about they had an in memory anomaly detection system for fraudulent transactions which was under 1 Terabyte.

A less obvious one would be to accelerate trading of NLP systems like training GPT-3. You need the memory to not only keep the dataset and model you are training in memory. NVIDIA seems to have this idea:

https://top500.org/system/179397/

Also, you could clean data by just loading all of the data that you collected in RAM and then cleaning it instead of swapping to disk often. Never underestimate the power of just buying ram.
I don't think you understand how corporations work, fundamentally. The executives aren't the bosses - the shareholders are the bosses.

They aren't idiots paying the CO's exorbitant amounts for fun. They do it because they have no other alternative.

Why on earth should it not be OK for black people to use the service? And what is so "white" about it? Because black people are supposed to be activists and believe in identity politics? I follow plenty of black people on Twitter who don't belong to that crowd.

Have you ever wondered if is ok black people to use Hacker News? After all, it was created by white people? (I don't even know the skin color of the creators of "Unwoke.hr" - why do you assume they have to be white?).
>Technically containers are not VMs

Some build systems do build proper VM images, like AMIs.
It's used in a lot of embedded scenarios... and will really depend on your use case. The raspberry pi will need a lot more/better hardware support if Windows is going to be a viable option. Video support is poor, onboard audio and lan aren't yet supported.

It's somewhat cool, but will need much better hardware support, or higher end hardware depending on the purpose.

If you aren't targeting something with end-user interfaces or consistent display needs, Linux is generally a better bet, and you can pretty much use the same languages and tooling.

For embedding, about the only more painful use of linux is when you need a gui display, and even that can somewhat be worked around... testing and isolating updates is probably the larger cost multiplier vs. windows in terms of long term support.
You think they give each other millions of their own dollars, out of friendship??? Does that really make sense to you?

This is business. No one is gifting people their own money because of friendship.
Trump's Wobble-Gait Problem
Anyone can buy a patch that says "POLICE" on it and sew it to some fatigues. That's not a legitimate form of identification.

There is no law enforcement organization or bureau named "POLICE" which one could petition, interview or sue.

Stop being purposely obtuse.
Most of the results are unfortunately either by association (like the linked study), or on the spread of droplets without checking for infectivity. This means that the evidence is still circumstantial. There are indications of efficacy, but not how large this efficacy is.

I don't think masks are useless, but I'd love some hard data on how effective they are.
If you record your live at 4K compressed, that’s ballpark 25 Mbit/s ≈ 3 MB/s≈ 250 GB/day, so you would run out of RAM in 8 years or so (more like 12 years if you compress the nightly video better). I fear there are people alive today who will ‘need’ that.

Alternatively, slap a 4K video camera on all 75k spectators in a large stadium, and you’ll fill that space before the match is over.

Also, the LHC could generate 25 GB/s (https://home.cern/science/computing/processing-what-record). They could easily fill it in a day (but don’t. They discard most of the data from their instruments in milliseconds)
If the build system isn't first a DSL for specifying a DAG, then it fails at being at least as good as Make. Maybe "build graphs are acyclic" is a falsehood, but I would never want to use a build system that isn't fundamentally constructing a DAG. There are plenty of imperative build systems (or build systems that people us imperatively) and they're all horrible.
If you say so. :)
> It's all just appeals to the idea that there's some powerful, shadowy entity that doesn't want you to know this stuff

That might be a good refutation if such a thing never happened, if pharmaceutical companies didn't lobby, if companies had never spread misleading information downplaying the harm of their products, or covered up problems, or had reputations for being honest and trustworthy earned by actually being honest and trustworthy.

> There's zero actual substance, just lots of unverifiable claims.

Are they? "Many of these cancers release a substance called Negalese" sounds verifiable. Is there such a substance? Are some cancers proven to release it? "Dr. Bradstreets clinics were raided" that should be a verifiable fact, no? "Apricot seeds contain high concentrations of B17 compared to other seeds". "the FDA itself did a story on the B17 substance in the 1970s". Even "these things cure cancer" should be verifiable by trying it.

Is it any less verifiable claims than "depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain"? That sounds verifiable, except people can't seem to verify which chemicals are imbalanced and how that's measured, or why a measured imbalance isn't the diagnostic criteria for depression in the first place.

You're throwing around "unverifiable" and "no substance" as insults rather than honest descriptions.

> Maybe the real conspiracy is that big pharma's medicine does work but people want to still you stuff that didn't work just to make money? Isn't simple greed a simpler explanation than some grand conspiracy?

If I told you that greed is the grand conspiracy, would you
The money is barely going to individuals. $35,000 USD per tax payer (at least) has been pushed through. How much went to individuals? A few thousand for the people that got any money at all. The entire base money supply of the US shot up and the ramifications will be felt for decades. Casinos and steak houses received bail outs, the money was never meant to be used wisely.
that's something I never understood about US politics, what prevented Sanders from creating its own party for the US election and not run for the democratic primaries?

> You offered your proximal living location as a claim to credibility.

No, I offered first-hand observation of what I would consider riotous behavior.

I’m not arguing any of your other points.
I get music to shape, texture, color, location synesthesia when I smoke pot (just a very small amount is enough) so I have a good idea of what it’s like to have it and not have it. It’s amazing but also I’m happy I don’t have it all the time because I’m sure I’d end up doing something music-related and probably not paid as well for my career. It feels like a completely unfair advantage to have it.

I can describe more of how it is if you’re interested.
