Do a google search of personal narratives for nearly any usually fairly mild illness, condition or odd medical problem you care to mention, or even a google search for what it was like to take X medicine (said medicine being something very, very commonly prescribed to millions of people per year without statistical evidence of frequent severe problems and side effects) You know what you'll very likely find? A ton of horrifying personal accounts with all sorts of worst case scenarios and unexpected terrible things that many people will be posting about having happened to them. This is one of the big reasons behind the now old joke that if you google search "persistent cough" you'll end up diagnosing yourself somewhere between super cancer and mega HIV...

The point i'm making here is that these sorts of self reporting-based accounts massively bias towards awful outcomes, despite being statistically minor in broad terms of probable outcomes. Poeple who got sick and felt fine after recovering have a lot less incentive to bother posting about it.

I suspect you're seeing a lot of this with what you describe and especially if your linked source is a damn reddit thread where exactly the sorts of people who had unusually bad things happen to them after recovering are likely to go. This will likely apply even more so given the immense media attention and public fear around COVID. I can only imagine how many recovered people are either experiencing psychosomatic long run symptoms or attributing any new bad thing they feel from of some unrelated cause to the virus post-recovery despite no connection between the two. (you mentioned penis pain, well, a person can still get herpes or chlamydia some time after having recovered from COVID, for example)

Sars Cov 2 is a coronavirus, one among several of a similar type. We're still learning much about it and doubtless there are going to be many complicated patient outcomes from some among the many millions who recover from it, but it's not some insane new super disease from the bowels of hell. Let's calm the alarmist hysteria before jumping to unsubstantiated claims about widespread terrible shit.

You mention literature backing up your claims. Well, link to it, and let's see if it's statistically significant or based on a small number of reported cases out of (so far) millions of recoveries.

Finally, a bit of anecdote of my own: I personally know 6 people who have gotten the virus and recovered. All of them now feel more or less okay several weeks after recovery. Two of these people are 91 years old by the way, making them an exceptional case but worth mentioning.
The treatment of Keynes' post-WWI comments is an apologia that misses the deeper point. Keynes was not merely wrong about the German ability to pay, he misread the strategic situation. The French position was not merely motivated by vengeance.

The Post-WWI situation was simple in a way yet strage. Germany was defeated, yet it remained the strongest country in continental Europe. Britain and France were bled dry, Russia was in chaos and the Western Front was mostly fought on French soil. This left the question of how to settle things so that Germany does not refight the war for the same old objectives.

The French position was a Realist position - make Germany too weak to make trouble. The Keynes position was Idealist, but it needed one condition to be viable in any form: a defence alliance to prevent Germany from making trouble. Which was something that was probably politically impossible in the US, and I don't recall Keynes advocating for it.

So his contribution was to help weaken one option that was politically workable without giving a good alternative; Eventually (years later) helping to lead to an arrangement that merely goaded Germany in the wrong direction. There was a need to ask how to reintegrate Germany, but this was not served well by ignoring the strategic situation.

My experience (and anecdotally the experience of many people I know) is that because a psychiatrist's proverbial hammer is medication, it's really important to either try other things first (like a psychologist who doesn't immediately send you to a psychiatrist) or to at least make sure you have sources of advice/expertise other than just a psychiatrist.

This is in The Netherlands, where AFAIK we're not particularly known for overprescribing medication, and our health care provides caregivers with enough funds to not go for the 'easy' pill solution right away. I imagine it's quite a bit more an acute risk in the US.
This kind of thing is rampant in Big Pharma also. Fake grassroots organizations, fake op-Ed’s, constant attacks on anyone who isn’t inline with them, ghost publishing in “prestigious” journals, reputation laundering everywhere, and just straight buying people off. Look at the article from the other day in the bbc about losing someone to cancer conspiracies theories. Good chance that article is planted. The actual title was just false. People die most of the time on treatment for cancer anyways (usually with a lot of pain and side effects of chemo) as people who have lost loved ones know. But the bbc wants to make sure we crack down on misinformation that MAY be killing you. Pure BS. On the other hand you never see articles about how breast cancer screenings in young women actually increase the death rate (proven) or anything critical of Pharma. Anyone who knows anything about these areas knows that the level of corruption and sometimes evil is astounding.

The whole point of military it to do war and keep themselves ready for war. There is no military without war or threat of war.

It should be hard to watch: the “Pioneer Generation” was largely left out of modern Singapore's current affluence.

Very nice post! I remember helping to port the 128 bit integer functions in compiler-rt to Rust years ago [0], because clang only supported 128 bit integers on 64 bit platforms, but the goal of Rust was to support them on all platforms that Rust supports.

Since then, all algorithms in compiler-rt have been ported to Rust and live in the compiler-builtins crate. This [1] is the source code file for unsigned division. The actual logic is inside a macro and used to implement both 128 bit division in terms of 64 bit numbers and 64 bit division in terms of 32 bit numbers.

I wonder if similar optimizations can be done to that code.

It seems that reality (that is, the narrative of events supported by facts and evidence, the things that actually happened) and truth are no longer the same.

As Henriquez inadvertently makes clear, he doesn't need to address the facts. He can simply say that his course of events is just as valid as that of the "elites", with their "evidence" and "facts". He can (and does) dress it up with bullshit wordy adjectives, and he can (and does) make it somehow not even about the facts, not even about reality, but instead about some kind of weird fucked up culture war. You'll note he doesn't mention facts even once; the very idea of evidence isn't present. Those who deal in fact, the people he rails against, are powerless when people ascribe zero weight to those facts.
You might want to also check that 128-bit multiplies are implemented as only two 64-bit multiplies and a couple of additions (assuming no overflow; three multiplies if you need to get the right answer mod 2^64).
The problem is that even if we can do a 'perfect' brain scan and figure out consistent correlations in how its structure differs for people with various disorders, it still doesn't really help us all that much. It would be like doing a perfect read of a hard-drive and seeing correlations without understanding (for the most part) what the ones and zeroes actually mean.
I definitely agree that localized languages can only reflect a subset of human languages (and it's of course true even for English-based languages), but that doesn't make my point moot. If the author did really care about other languages and wanted to pursue the fixed syntax, every identifier should have been strictly nouns or verbs and nothing else; for example (say) `animate(source: X, target: Y)` instead of `animate(from: X, to: Y)`.
Oh huh, I didn't know that, thanks.

Most companies seem to screw it up once they leave the startup stage and enter the growth stage. Incentives schemes aren't designed to 'reward' failure, but zero risk-taking.

It seems to be that simple: If you WANT innovation, you'll get innovation.

What most people (at least those willing to climb the corporate ladder) want however is a career. And within a corporate incentive structure, career and failure don't go well together. Creating value out of nothing is way harder than simply not screwing up existing value. So it's obvious what you're gonna get.

Eventually, there is no such thing as 'corporate innovation'. There could be a thing called 'corporate sponsored innovation garage', or something similar. At least for new business development from the ground up.

The promising way to pull that off it seems is a blend of YC startup school tutoring, venture capital, [Google] X, the innovation culture of Tesla/SpaceX and access to cutting edge technology/people - baked into the right incentive structure.

IF innovation was repeatable, I'd bet on such a vehicle and allocate resources there.
Are there any examples of "programs as databases" being applied to structured text like JSON or YAML? Something like a generic system which takes a set of rules/facts and the source data, and transforms these into a queryable data structure.

I'm working with a lot of OpenAPI [1] specifications currently, some of which span tens of thousands of lines. Heaps of parent, child, sibling type relationships, and objects which are defined-once and referenced in many places. It would be nice if I could perform a search like "select all schemas used in this path" or "select the count of references to this parameter".

> it’s not necessarily that Keynesianism works, it’s just that is helps governments avoid making decisions.

This is the precise opposite of the usual critique of Keynesianism: the mainstream conservative/neoclassical arguments that [i] Keynesian macroeconomics overestimates the ability of and need for governments to intervene in the economy, and [ii] that macroeconomic stability is better achieved by designing rules for fiscal/monetary policy than giving governments free reign to make decisions

There's a proposal due to the prolog-commons initiative for a dictionary-like object (that is also implemented in SWI Prolog, I believe).

And in Prolog you can, of course, just trivially use your own term structure for item-values:

p([ item : "value", ... ])

You could even use JSON-like terms in Prolog (with maybe a little help by the op/3 directive to sort out parsing priorities):

A_Prolog_Term = {
x: y,
z: [a, b, {1, d} ]
}

But the more fundamental approach IMHO would be to use nested knowledge-base terms:

p(
q(whatever).
r(X) :- q(X).
).

As pioneered in the 1980s for attribute grammars, using ^^ and other special graph tokens as nested "implies" operator, though (see "definite-clause translation grammars").
Evelyn Widmer-Schlumpf's given name is "Evelyn" and her (adopted?) family name is "Widmer-Schlumpf", so the correct way to refer to her just by her family name would be "Widmer-Schlumpf". [I am Swiss BTW.]

I’d personally be interested in a form of test that didn’t allow these sorts of side-channel attacks. Submit a test script, get answers back some time in the future, do a few iterations to dig down into answers maybe. Would rather people’s time not be wasted on irrelevant stuff.
Wow... you nailed it. I was formulating this exact same thought the moment I read this comment. Big companies have so much bullshit the repell creatives.

Wow, a personal attack based on assumptions.

I just want to say that I'm not a PM and I don't even work in a corporation. I have worked my entire career focusing on performance (learned programming for and during algorithmic contests were every millisecond really matters, made open-source contributions that vastly improved performance, worked in the gaming space where even users care a lot about performance, and working in the analytics space, where I created a high performance, lightweight alternative to some heavy and data demanding alternatives).

I respect your opinion, but my comment was based on experience, knowledge of human behavior and analytics and A/B tests ran on millions of users. I do agree that it might differ from product to product, but in the majority of cases you just get to a point where it is "fast enough", users no longer notice and spending more time on optimizations takes too much effort for the benefits it brings.

Conscientiousness can be broken down further into 5 factors: two of which correlate with openness to experience: industriousness and achievement. Creatives tend to be low on the other three: order, dutifulness, and deliberation.

Probably safe to say dealing with other people's bullshit gets in the way of industriousness and achievement and leads to low agreeableness. ;)

Soon we’ll need a richer approach to Turing tests. I think some sort of Elo system for both testers and test subjects might be in order. Reward testers who are good at catching AIs out, don’t overly reward AIs for tricking people who just ask a few simple questions and don’t push too hard.

QuickJS is a simple interpreter, no JIT, so performance obviously won't be competitive with V8.

The appeal is that it supports most of ES2019 while being a easy to build, light weight dependency that can be embedded into Rust applications. [1]

Would I use something like this for a production service with a high traffic volume? It would be nice to see benchmarks, but most likely not.

But if you have a Rust backend and want a simple way to do SSR without having to operate a separate Node service or linking v8, this might be a neat approach.

ps: It would be nice to run QuickJS in a WASM runtime, while still offering the same convenient API surface for Rust. This would provide sandboxing for the QuickJS C code. It's is in my backlog, I might get to it eventually. [2]

Just to counter some of the negative news, my wife had COVID, she picked it up at work from her colleagues where the majority of them had COVID, even the reception staff at their medical practice where she works all got COVID and when she was at home coughing I also got COVID. We all had mild symptoms, mostly a cough, fever and loss of smell and taste. We all recovered from it like from a cold or flu. At no point did anything bad happen. No organ damages. No lasting health issues. This was in April, so many weeks ago and we’ve all been super healthy and fit since then. At her work nobody even talks about it because it’s such a non thing in their eyes. I perform physically just as good as I did before I got ill. So there’s that, good first hand experiences which you’ll never hear because it doesn’t fit the current media narrative. Luckily smart people will look at science and hard statistical facts rather than individual selected stories. Anxious people will always be anxious. You can choose to call me a liar or whatever, but Prince Charles had COVID and recovered from it like from a normal cold, so did the British prime minister, lots of staff and MPs around him, so did Tom Hanks, Idris Elba, and literary hundreds of other super famous celebrities from old to young. You going to call them all liars too? It’s important to stay mentally healthy and I think people need to stop reading this fear provoking nonsense which really doesn’t change anything except making people mentally ill. The virus won’t become more or less dangerous by reading sensationalised news stories which aim at playing into people’s worst fears. I find it abhorrent.
