I'm pretty sure 6% was deaths where "only" covid was listed.

In most cases, doctors are more specific. So they may put covid & pneumonia. Pneumonia being any infection of the lower respiratory system. Which would in almost all cases, be caused by covid unless they also had a separate infection.

Doctors will also often list complicating factors like obesity (45% of Americans are clinically obese).

This is actually right along with the confusion of the public and media for the official coroner's report. The coroner listed cardiopulmonary arrest as the cause of death "complicated by" (in other words "brought on by") someone pinning him to the ground and blocking his airway. Drugs in his system and prior health conditions were listed in the report as any thorough coroner's report should. But they were not listed as complicating factors for his death.

Cardiopulmonary arrest is -not- a heart attack. (that's a myocardial infarction). It means your heart stopped pumping and your lungs stopped functioning. Which is how most people die.

I highly recommend The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on The Tibetan Book of the Dead by Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner and Richard Alpert.

"The authors discuss the Tibetan Book of the Dead and use the process of death and rebirth presented in it as a metaphor for the experience of ego death or depersonalization that is commonly experienced under the influence of psychedelic drugs. Similar to how the intended function of the Tibetan Book of the Dead is to be used as a guide for death and rebirth, The Psychedelic Experience is meant to be used as a guide on how to properly handle experiences of ego death while undergoing the psychedelic experience

The book discusses the various phases of ego death that can occur on psychedelics and gives specific instructions on how one should regard them and act during each of these different phases. In addition to containing more general advice for the readers on how to use psychedelics, the book also includes selections of writing presented with the intent for them to be read aloud during events where groups of people take psychedelic drugs together".*

The recommendations in the book can be adapted to work with one other individual, someone who has experience with the different possible states that might be encountered through the trip.

Your state of mind, and the surrounding environment are crucial to realizing an optimal experience. If you go into a psychedelic experience with a lot of anxiety over having a "bad trip", it can end up being a self fulfilling influence.

Following the guidance in this book requires a mindful preparation, often spread out over a few weeks. I think this level of intent is helpful in raising up the overall experience.

"This manual is divided into four parts. The first part is introductory. The second is a step-by-step description of a psychedelic experience based directly on the Tibetan Book of the Dead. The third part contains practical suggestions on how to prepare for and conduct a psychedelic session.

The fourth part contains instructive passages adapted from the Bardo Thodol, which may be read to the voyager during this session, to facilitate the movement of consciousness."

Here’s an audio recording of the authors reading from the book:

Yep. I've tried to use Z Notation in the past but haven't had much luck (doesn't help that I had no collaborators so was learning on my own). I've often, also, worked on projects that had decent (but massive and all prose) specs. They would've benefited by formalizing at least portions of them.

I'm not sure I'd try to use Z Notation at this point, given that there are other systems out there that seem to fill the same niche but with better tooling. Event-B and TLA+ are the two I've explored the most.

Picking a nit here. You wrote:

> Nuclear is outrageously expensive, though. And new reactor designs don't seem to be making much progress on that.

Nuclear plants are expensive the way GE and Bechtel build them not inherently so. At some point I got to look at the Diablo Canyon cost-to-build breakdown and about 2/3ds of the cost were litigation, licensing, and specialized site and construction prep. Finding people who could do the kinds of welds they needed, build structures in the right way, inspect, inspect, inspect, and litigate dozens of lawsuits asserting on form of harm or another. It was pretty amazing.

This particular company can build the reactor in their factory. All their specialists are in one place, you can have permanent inspection equipment with costs amortized over all the reactors you build, and the safety systems this reactor design purports to have means no additional site prep (no backup generators, no double containment vessels, no borosilicon sandpits under the reactor to slag into glass while "catching" a meltdown.

If I were to guess, while the pitch is all about safety, this design screams that it is all about cost. When you factor in that the design in modular, so making a 100MW power station with 20 of these gets advantages of scale that multiplies the cost advantage.

When I read this I see those cost savings and recognize this could be both cheaper than renewables and way more reliable. A solid base load solution to kill the last of the coal plants.
>Reform and revolution are a false dichotomy.

Reformist and revolutionist actions aren't contradictory, but reform and revolution absolutely are. People who advocate for revolution (which Zinn does in the above quote) fundamentally reject the idea that peaceful, incremental legislative reform could be used to transform the democratic system.

>Social movements and popular unrest effect the electoral process significantly

Sure, but Zinn isn't advocating for that. This bit

>The situation required not just a new president or new laws, but an uprooting of the old order, the introduction of a new kind of society

Random renewable energy-related question that I've been thinking about:

Specifically wrt solar, a big argument against is that it can't provide power during the night and we don't have a good way to store energy. What I'm wondering is why it's so imperative that residential/commercial properties are able to get full power from the grid 24/7? What if prices for power go way up during the night (because it can't come from solar), and people could just learn to get most of their power from the grid during the day? And have a relatively small per-house battery that charges during the day and can be used at night.

Sure it is a relevant book, especially in leftist history work. The problem scholars have with it is that it is held up as the text by some laypeople. It is not unique in having narrative issues.

No it’s not. You can study history and strive to understand the truth of the matter however imperfect, perhaps across various perspectives and with appropriate deference to contemporaneous context and the roles of the players in arc of global history, or you can see it as a means to an end and select and present so as to advance the narrative that you feel bests moves mankind to wherever you feel he need be moved. I’ve nothing against Zinn - dude wrote a book. Whatever blame for whatever fault there might be lays at the feet of an education establishment who selected his narrative as the one with which to indoctrinate a generation of Americans.
Of course. And plenty of scholars also have things to say about Sapiens or whatever other hot popular scholarship is happening on a given day. Zinn's flaws are not unique and the fact that Zinn has overzealous fans is not unique. That still doesn't mean that scholarly criticism isn't valuable.
Is there any particular case in which you'd want Point and Point3Ds to be indexed interchangably in the same array? This is just as cumbersome in the array-of-structs case: some structs are larger than others in the same array, you need some signalling mechanism to know which structs are and aren't Point3Ds (lest you invite the wrath of your optimizer), etc. In Rust the AOS case would be an Enum of Point and Point3D, and the SOA case would be two Vecs of ints and one Vec of Option<int>s.

More generally, this sounds like a language support problem: most languages are built around arrays of structs because it's easier to codegen for. If you're composing structures, just treat the composed-over struct as one very wide field and continue counting your offsets for the next fields down. Need to reference a struct? Just take a pointer to it and all the fields are a fixed offset. Want a bunch of the same struct? Put them next to one another in memory and you can go from one to the next by just bumping a pointer.

What we need is some sort of language support for "intrusive arrays", where you can declare a struct, create an intrusive array of it, and that array is laid out as structs of arrays. When you request an intrusive array, the language would need to recursively construct intrusive arrays for each non-primitive field (e.g. your IntrusiveVec<Point3D> would hold IntrusiveVec<Point> plus Vec<int>, which flattens down to 3 Vec<Int>s). References would consist of a pointer to the whole array plus an index, and methods on structs (er, "classes", in this case) would need to accept this new pointer-to-intrusive-vector format.
This is a weird take in a thread about a "micro modular reactor", which generates 5MW, and is designed to run for twenty years with minimal maintenance, on the order of a few day's work per year.

Maybe you should call not LTS but "Oracle's LTS" ? OpenJDK is open so any company should be able to provide own "LTS" but it's differ from Oracle's LTS and you argue that Oracle's LTS is superior than others. (I agree Oracle has great resource to maintain LTS and still manages CVEs)

> Anyway, the important thing to know is that there is only one version that is fully supported for free -- the current one, and so the safe choices are either some paid LTS or the current version.

It looks like overstatement for me but reasonable perspective for Oracle employee.
Shopify has been a fully remote company for a few months now. https://financialpost.com/technology/shopify-is-joining-twit...

We're not using zoom, but google meet - but yes, these happen completely online now.

I suggest you read up on the definition of "distance" and "similarity" before drinking the PCA kool-aid. You don't get to define an ad hoc distance just because it fits your ideas about ethnicity. But then, I only have the popgen community to back me up on this. What do you have?

I don't know about DOD in general, but something seems fundamentally wrong with your understanding of ECS -- it conflicts with almost all of the reading I've done on it so far (though I can't say much about it in practice)

> But you need to make sure as you are talking to each of the component you are doing the right thing.

I'm not clear on "doing the right thing". If you're looking at eg specs, at creation-time the only thing you're doing is constructing the entity correctly (adding values to the relevant arrays) with valid values. There's no real hooking into anything, or any intelligent behavior really, since you're just treating the entity as nothing more than the values its composed of.

The systems just pick it up "magically", and treat it as it would any other entity -- it doesn't need to know anything really about the new entity, except that all of the necessary components have been slotted, before executing. And if they aren't.. it won't execute, at least not for that entity.

Which I think is almost by definition de-coupled. The system knows nothing about the entity, and the entity knows nothing about the system -- the system just looks for anything that fulfills the correct set of components, and the entity just looks to fulfill all components needed to describe it. What behavior that will lead to... the entity itself has no idea. And of course, new systems and new entities (and new components) can be plugged in without knowing anything about the others.

>As a side note, the coupling of ECS systems is one thing that makes it hard to properly thread games. That's because you've got this globally shared mutable state being accessed through a ton of systems throughout the game. It's frankly impressive that games are threaded at all!

Something seems very wrong here -- bevy, specs, legion etc (rust ecs frameworks) all basically suggest multithreading comes for almost free, because you're being very clear about what you're accessing and when (the systems are defined with the components they rely on, and have access to). So they can represent systems as a dependency graph, and parallelize independent systems appropriately. eg https://specs.amethyst.rs/docs/tutorials/09_parallel_join.ht...

The problem is really the other way around -- since its parallelized for you, the difficulty is in defining an ordered sequence of events (when needed); I believe the simple solution is generally adding a component that's really just a flag, and the more general solution is utilizing event queues and event chaining

specs doesn't iterate the array itself in parallel though, at least not automatically, but there's nothing stopping you (since it's already locked the array on your behalf), hence it provides par_iter
