I'm sure they have other decades they could use, but they choose the time right when the housing boomed and right before it burst. I doubt the prices had anything to do with affordable housing, and more with other factors that could have easily negated it.
Burstable cores works as long as you are sharing the core with other processes. The moment you have the whole core for you you either migrate the process to a faster core (imagine a Xeon Lakefield with 16 beefy cores and 128 Atom-like ones), possibly on a different host, or add more cores to the VM you have.

OK - that would be compatible with the theory that the original article were about those who had long-term symptoms. Journalism is a mess. But the 10% is still scary.
True.

The one thing that corporations are extremely good at is destroying all the initiative and add so much bureaucracy to the development that you loose interest to improve / inovate as you are paifully aware that this will bring in more documents, jira tickets, endless "bicycle shed" discussions, endless covincing of managers that only care about their schedule (which you will corupt by "unknowns"), endless politics as there is always some architect/team lead that "must be the smartest" (and typically those comming to those positions are excelent in navigating buereaucracy and politics and are rarly inovators as those endanger manager schedules, adding risks, ...) and so on.

Too many cooks spoil the broth.

At the end you just figure out it is not worth it , do what you are paid for and you inovate at home.

If those inovations become a startup you just leave.

According to the story, it took somewhere between 13 and 19 hours for passport.com to resolve properly after he renewed it for Microsoft. Is that normally how long it takes to reactivate a domain name that has gone into a renewal grace period, or was something different back then?

Perhaps the NXDOMAIN response was cached by ISPs for an especially long time because it was such a frequently visited hostname?
I think (slash worry) that this is going to be a simple upgrade in future iterations. Obviously there are powerful attention mechanisms at work to keep the subject matter coherent, but we’re not too far off the model being able to generate a core thesis, and ensure that all the generated text supports that in some way.
Your right, you carried the rifle with the mechanism intakt, just cold-storing them without (thieves etc) BUT you where not allowed to put the magazin in, and if the military police catcht you with live ammo (exept the sealed notfallmunition) your in for some lonely days/weeks in prison or even out of the mil-service (and then you had to pay...probably with some prison days/weeks too)
Besides the technology of weapons, a big change here is that the economics of running an empire was completely changed by industrialization.

Every empire since the year dot captured land, with peasants farming it, who could be taxed, to pay the soldiers, to capture land... that was the business model. A little profit was left over to pay for cities, palaces, pyramids, etc.

This flow of money from country to towns was reversed by the industrial revolution. Within almost every country now, the cities are taxed to pay the rural voter base (or to pay off the rural might-be-revolutionaries, in places with less voting).

Not the only thing going on, of course -- changes in weapons matter to the balance, as mentioned. So does the rise of literacy & nationalism, which made the idea of rulers who are too distant (by ethnicity, language, or religion) from the population base (as they were in empires, almost by definition) into a rallying point. And thus raised the cost of holding land.

Might be failing out of fashion, yet Microsoft just bought a Java company, is now an OpenJDK contributor and is one of tier 1 languages at Azure and Amazon SDKs.

Meanwhile, C++ lost its full stack status, the only mainstream OS that still offers C++ GUI tooling, is Windows, and none of MFC, ATL or UWP/WinUI APIs are "Boosty".

What keeps Qt relevant as the surviving C++ GUI framework not stuck in 90's tooling idioms are the paying customers, and those have quite clear ideas which compilers and ISO C++ versions they want to have Qt on.
There are numerous studies coming out that report immunity against coronavirus does not last long:

https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/06/chinese-...

https://theconversation.com/immunity-to-covid-19-may-not-las...

> Finally, the researchers measured how long the antibody response lasted. This is the most important data. Unfortunately, antibodies levels began falling after day 20 and only 17% of patients retained a potent level at day 57. Some patients completely lost their antibodies after two months.

It's terrifying to think that our adaptive immune system might not be good at learning Covid-19. I don't know that this is the case, but our immune system evolved to fight the things we deal with regularly over many centuries. Just like HIV, this thing is relatively new on the evolutionary scale.

Perhaps those that remain sick aren't clearing the virus completely? It may be this in some combination with vascular/organ damage and immune system depletion.
I am talking about amount of time America is in war state. Calling it endless is appropriate. There are plenty of politicians and journalists who never encountered war they would not like.

I am not talking about war anywhere in the world by anyone.

War itself is uncivil. The way it was talked about here was no more uncivil then javascript frameworks are talked about.

It is absurd to demand that war is talked about with reverence and euphemisms. People can talk about it the way they talk about vim or emacs or cultural issues.

Frankly, the emotional reaction against the idea that war could be evil and not cool is likely one of reasons why military propaganda in games or sports bothers people. It is not just pushing people toward profession that is really necessary, it is pushing people to think war is cool and heroic. To like that and to ignore destruction it brinks.

That is strange - because the numbers would be compatible with the Der Spiegel stats (from comment above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23888175) if it was only about those who report the persistent symptoms.

Also 10% sounds more plausible - if it was 50% of all diagnosed Covid survivors than for sure this would be reported earlier.

There will always be unsafe and often be C dependencies.

There is no community goal or plan to do away with unsafe. Until we have an easy to use fully dependent and linearly typed language, there will be some degree of unsafety. Even if Idris 3 and ATS 4 come out with magical proof inference, we will assert many more complicated proofs.
I’ve not studied neural nets and ML since undergrad level in 1998. So I am almost as knowledgeable as a random person on the street.

The quality of writing was very high, so I was convinced I was reading something put together by a human with agency... except it didn’t pass my gut-feeling “how IT works”. It made me suspect that either the algorithm (the described one, not the AI responsible) was off, or that I just didn’t understand AI any more. As I know I don’t have up to date AI knowledge, the algorithm appeared more believable. I hiked deep down the uncanny valley with that one.
In the current shape this can definitely be used on social media. But I would ask someone about their life, where they live etc. GPT-3 will fail that, the next model might succeed. This model would be even better for social farming so maybe these tests are not useless after all. The question is what are we building these models for. At this point it's getting immoral to continue research in this direction, as is the case in some computer vision tasks.
> So there are lots of posts for GPT-3 to study and learn from. The forum also has many people I don’t like. I expect them to be disproportionately excited by the possibility of having a new poster that appears to be intelligent and relevant.

Huh, so the AI learnt mischievousness. (Or at least it learnt writing about it.)

Then again, it's been spoon-fed 2020's Internet, so no surprise there.

Agreed on the niceness of the keyword syntax, I would very much like to have than in Prolog too. SWI-Prolog has record-like data structured called dicts (IIRC) but you can't use them directly as clause heads the way the article does.
It's funny, because their website is horrendously broken on mobile.

Now, hmm, I wonder what would've fixed that.
This (highly enjoyable) article is all that is wrong with "AI".

The Turing test was a hand-wavey method to determine if a machine was intelligent, yet since the times of Eliza most (all?) of the efforts are geared at exploiting the weaknesses of the test instead of producing something along the lines of actual artificial intelligence.

The Turing test should not even be attempted in the next few decades as were not even close to really passing it.

That sounds exploitable. People would strategically vote "I don't understand" to delay the initiative.
Sorry to disappoint but for people doing programming language semantics there’s nothing new here. The hard part is always to go from the made-up language to a set of multiple full-blown languages.
The more important question is why people are being sick for so many years with "modern medicine" doing absolutely nothing to get them out of their sickness state. Diabetes type II, heart problems, autoimmune problems, all these chronic diseases plaguing most of the human population on planet earth for the last several hundred years (when "modern" medicine existed) and none of them going away.

Covid mostly takes the people who are already sick, and kills them. Would be nice to figure out how to not have so many people sick in the first place.
Woah, amazing:

"can catch" doesn't give you anything, unless you actually do the catching.

C and C++ programs tend to crash in the presence of an error, but so do rust programs (panic), C# and java and js and python programs (unhandled exception). Some languages make it harder to footgun yourself for certain types of errors, but never all types of errors.

I have seen js programs (and similar stuff in other languages) crash because of something like

JSON.parse(response).list[0].string.length

where the response was valid json, just the .list property was an empty array (or even undefined because omitted in the json).

Does rust protect from such mistakes (because I know some people on here like to claim rust is the answer to everything)? Verbatim from their docs:

let v = vec![0, 2, 4, 6];
println!("{}", v[6]); // it will panic!

I'd guess it's exactly such type of bounds error at play with the Saumsung thing, from the mention of that empty <list/> element in the article.

I have written such code myself because I was lazy or distracted or "need performance" or "this can never be empty per spec" or "oops, my range calculation was off by one", tho luckily I didn't outright brick anything, yet.
Wow, rarely seen such good writing on this topic. Encouraging to see that these ideas are well and alive and kept available until the impossible suddenly becomes possible.

I assume most pilots will let you into the cockpit if you are delayed and while being on the ground. But I have to admit that the last time it happened was a complete surprise for me. I didn't know they were allowed to do that. But maybe they aren't or it is up to their own discretion? I guess, if you really want it you could ask the cabin crew if it is possible to check it out. I don't think a pilot would have anything against it personally because they are proud of their jobs too.

Haven't tried Kombucha and didn't know about it. I will look for it and try it out. Thanks! :)
You're saying it's weird that kids like tanks, supersonic aircraft and and nuclear submarines? Technology is cool. You didn't think the blackbird was really cool? I never thought only the US military was cool, powerful machines facinate boys without propaganda. I liked monster trucks and crushing machines too and I bet lots of other boys did too despite their non military function.

I understand that Rust Hyper and/or Warp provide a very fast httpd engine but I would have thought that invoking JavaScript via Deno/V8, instead of QuickJS, was the natural integration.

Maybe Deno is hard to invoke from Rust Code.
Reminds me of the time I fed RMS's infamous Natalism Flame into the Eliza-like Doctor "AI" in Emacs:

>M-x doctor

>The doctor is a Rogerian psychotherapist who will help you with your problems. It would spoil the fun and hurt your recovery to say too much here about how the doctor works. But when you’re ready to find out see WikiPedia:ELIZA.

http://www.art.net/studios/hackers/hopkins/Don/text/rms-vs-d...

[...RMS's Natalism Flame, the resulting NSFW responses, and the beginning of the Doctor therapy session redacted...]

RMS> These birth announcements also spread the myth that having a baby is something to be proud of, which fuels natalist pressure, which leads to pollution, extinction of wildlife, poverty, and ultimately mass starvation.

Doctor> Is the fact that having a baby is something to be proud of which fuels natalist pressure which leads to pollution extinction of wildlife poverty and ultimately mass starvation the real reason?

RMS> Perhaps the people who have decided to have no children should start making proud announcements, so as to set a better example.

Doctor> Is it because of your sex life that you are going through all this?

RMS> I could start.

Doctor> Is it because of hangups you have that you say you could start?

RMS> I'm sure everyone on this list will be glad to know I don't plan to reproduce myself.

Doctor> How do you reconcile your inhibitions?
NXDOMAIN is often cached for much longer because it's assumed not to change soon. Sometimes, as in this case, that's a wrong assumption.
I think the motivation for calling this thread 'rude and uncivil' was the fact that it required anyone who just blindly supports American military misadventures to re-evaluate their position.

Americans are scared of the truth and don't like being embarrassed - but the evil of their military crimes is not something that can be ignored, and there is absolutely nothing honourable about them.

So yes, be rude to the American war mongers you encounter, who forward the propaganda that theirs is an infallible military and a just state of affairs, because this is far, far from the truth. Such cowardice must be shunned, because - as we have seen recently, the USA is a psychopathic state hell bent on tearing itself apart before it commits further crimes against humanity around the world.
I really dislike the idea of continuously having to water in order to keep plants alive. If that will be the case, I feel it's not worth doing.

Besides being able to debug RMS's hangups, Emacs also has "Dissociated Press" feature, a kind of poor man's GPT-3, which has been there since the days of TECO!

https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/emacs/html_node/emacs_47...

>AC.29 Dissociated Press

>M-x dissociated-press is a command for scrambling a file of text either word by word or character by character. Starting from a buffer of straight English, it produces extremely amusing output. The input comes from the current Emacs buffer. Dissociated Press writes its output in a buffer named `Dissociation', and redisplays that buffer after every couple of lines (approximately) so you can read the output as it comes out.

>Dissociated Press asks every so often whether to continue generating output. Answer n to stop it. You can also stop at any time by typing C-g. The dissociation output remains in the `Dissociation' buffer for you to copy elsewhere if you wish.

>Dissociated Press operates by jumping at random from one point in the buffer to another. In order to produce plausible output rather than gibberish, it insists on a certain amount of overlap between the end of one run of consecutive words or characters and the start of the next. That is, if it has just output `president' and then decides to jump to a different point in the file, it might spot the `ent' in `pentagon' and continue from there, producing `presidentagon'.(15) Long sample texts produce the best results.

>A positive argument to M-x dissociated-press tells it to operate character by character, and specifies the number of overlap characters. A negative argument tells it to operate word by word and specifies the number of overlap words. In this mode, whole words are treated as the elements to be permuted, rather than characters. No argument is equivalent to an argument of two. For your againformation, the output goes only into the buffer `Dissociation'. The buffer you start with is not changed.

>Dissociated Press produces nearly the same results as a Markov chain based on a frequency table constructed from the sample text. It is, however, an independent, ignoriginal invention. Dissociated Press techniquitously copies several consecutive characters from the sample between random choices, whereas a Markov chain would choose randomly for each word or character. This makes for more plausible sounding results, and runs faster.

>It is a mustatement that too much use of Dissociated Press can be a developediment to your real work. Sometimes to the point of outragedy. And keep dissociwords out of your documentation, if you want it to be well userenced and properbose. Have fun. Your buggestions are welcome.

The MIT AI Lab's ITS operating system even had a Dissociated Press device which would let you dissociate any file on the system by using the "DP:" device name prefix:

It was indeed my first Haskell program. So I'd take your comment as compliment. I have been a long time C++ programmer (https://stackoverflow.com/users/415784/nawaz), so I know what kind of tools one should look for in another language when it comes to making the code performant. So that helped me.

The other interesting point is - chest x-ray and sound are both normal, but someone is still getting breathless which could point to it being more about vascular involvement in many cases - perhaps the blood vessels that are responsible for uptake of oxygen from the lungs are inflamed and not working as effectively.

But as a kid I also read books about civilians in war time. I seen photos of bombed cities and read memoirs of people who went through it. Journals would have that every year at milestones.

There were those sad movies about kids in war time too.

No, the war was not unambiguous cool good as far as I remember. I never perceived it as cool technology only, it was never framed to me that way.

My grandma used to say that war is horrible. The grandparents generally did not liked it and did not liked movies with shooting and bombing. They added details only later, the stuff they personally seen, when I was adult, but when I was kid they would at least generally say it was bad.
Not neccessarily, because, thanks to the free opensource tools and libraries, people can be hired to work on lower-value or speculative (startups) projects, which wouldn't otherwise have economic merit. E.g. Facebook wouldn't probably have happened if Linux and PHP were not free.
There is nothing about gpt3 tuned towards the Turing test. It's a language model that predicts the most likely next word given the preceding context.

Further, we're actually astonishingly close, imo. Given current sota, if you asked turkers to administer the test without training, I think we'd pass.
