It feels like we didn't read the same article, they break down numbers for people on ventilators but also hospitalized, non-ventilator patients all the way down to those who received no particular care.

The findings were concerning to anyone who had it, they also mention cases where the cognitive deficit was the first reported symptom.

> It puts into context why the UK have been funding Atomic Interferometry research recently. If AI works, the likes of GPS, GNSS, Galileo etc. become obsolete because then we have GPS level accurate accelerometers which don't rely on satellite infrastructure at all

I don't know about Atomic Interferometry specifically, but to me accelerometers -> inertial navigation -> intermittent need for an accurate external location fix -> GNSS not obsolete.

Exploratory building of rich non-traditional (not necessarily handless) user interfaces is becoming increasingly accessible. For instance, here's a web demo of Google's MediaPipe's face and iris tracking[1]. And hand tracking[2] with a downward-facing camera, permits enriching keyboard and touchpad/tablets: annotating events with which finger was used, and where on a keycap it was pressed; hand and finger gestures in 2D and 3D; and positional touchless events. And speech to text... sigh.

But doing sensor fusion is hard. And strongly impacts system architecture. "Launch the missiles"... 1000 ms later... oh, nope, that was "Lunch is mussels in butter". "Spacebar keypress event"... 50 ms later... "btw, that was a thumb, at the 20% position". "Ok, so 2000 ms ago, just before the foo, there was a 3D gesture bar". So app state needs to easily roll backward and forward, because you won't fully know what happened now until seconds from now. Upside is traditional "have to wait a bit until we know whether mumble" latencies can be optimistically speculated away.

When I started my undergraduate degree, there was a PhD student everyone knew -- he looked like he ran the Linux User Group, which he did, he coded his own window manager, wrote games in Haskell etc.

At some point, he got some hand injury that meant he couldn't type normally for months. He would only have been 21 or 22.

This scared me, so since then I've followed the standard advice on avoiding computer-related injuries very carefully. I use a desktop computer with an external, adjustable monitor. I use ergonomic keyboards, and use a mouse with either hand. I learned to touch-type with the Dvorak layout, I have an adjustable desk, etc.

I haven't had any problems, and I don't know which (if any) of these actions helped, but I'm surprised when I see other developers apparently happy to hunch over a laptop keyboard for 8 hours, while sitting on an awkward chair in a coffee shop. Why do this to yourself?

> I wonder if this cohort effect is exacerbating inequality.

It seems to me that increased capability would be more strongly correlated with productivity than with inequality. Certainly there's some correlation between productivity and inequality, but I think it's more complicated than a simple relationship. For example, the richest people are all past what would be considered their peak capability.
Haha. I respect Mozilla but this was totally expected reaction - since lawsuit directly touches on the fact that Google "bribes" it's way to the monopoly, then of course Mozilla will be affected. So they cry "do anything but only if it won't affect our Google money".

And the phrase "look at the ecosystem in its entirety" means "do nothing". IT people should know this better than anyone - waiting for the perfect solution with zero drawbacks mean never getting that solution at all.
A bigger problem on HN these days is the highbrow lowbrow dismissal, wherein people come up with fancy-sounding reasons for rejecting comments, that are actually themselves lazy/incorrect arguments.

For example: when the paper itself says that the cognitive declines seen in people who don’t spend time hospitalized are a small fraction of the magnitude of the cognitive declines seen in hospitalized patients (Figures 2, 3; in some cases a cognitive benefit is seen in mild cases), yet a comment observing that the effects are confined to a small population is dismissed for the reason that “professional medical researchers would have thought of that”.

Of course it's just a figure of speech. But it gets awkward to talk about, say, evolution, unless you can use anthropomorphic language at times. Even mathematicians discuss math using sloppy language all the time, only with the silent understanding that they could do everything rigorously if they really wanted to. Programmers anthropomorphize computers and software all the time. Does a sudoku solver not solve a problem just because it has no agency? Or is it different just because the human who wrote it does?

> staunch believer in post-viral syndrome

+1

The last time I had a serious viral infection, I began having panic attacks and severe anxiety with mental fog, which didn’t go away when all the other symptoms did. My wife said I had “changed”.

When I tell doctors, they just kind of shrug. It sucks that it’s not taken seriously. I hope COVID-19 leads to more awareness of post-viral syndrome. Before Covid-19, we were all too cavalier about getting sick or getting other people sick.
Attempts to make Python fast
Wonder why this is addressed at a city level and not that of a state
I tried the same approach and the annoying thing about the mall photo is that it could be either MLK's march or the Million Man march in 1995. Without detail, you can't really tell unless you've seen the exact photo before. I picked 95 even though they showed me a black and white image.

I learned I don't really know much about clothing styles.

From the site:

>When you were dating the photos, you probably looked for context clues — what people were wearing, if there were any familiar buildings, and if you recognized any faces. You were probably also looking at color.

I would argue that the very nature of the site makes it more likely that most people were using context clues. I also wonder if color gives you more detail/clues and hence in most of the photos I was shown, the color guesses were closer to the actual year.

I would find the accuracy of the guesses (as opposed to the difference between color and B&W guesses) more informational, for a larger data set.

pypy has been working on it, for 10 years though, and their average is 4x on their benchmarks. Sure, I think this means they do 10x or 20x performance on certain tasks, and that's impressive. But still, it's not easy to do 5x across the board.
I tend to blame the impedance mismatch more on the popularity of "entities" as a way of doing domain modeling in object-oriented programming.

It's far from the only way to do domain modeling in an object-oriented language. It's not necessarily even a particularly good way, and it creates problems even if your app comes nowhere near a database.

I completely agree with your point against the GP that compound words are not at all seen as "needlessly long" by speakers of those languages.

But with regard to Finnish, while Finnish is a Uralic language and not an Indo-European one, the Finnish language today is replete with calques on Swedish and German, because those were the prestige languages in the region when the modern Finnish literary standard was being created and new words coined.

Why Women Don't Stem?
quoting "More Than A Woman" by Caitlin Moran:

(vs her brother) ...

"It's because we have been brought up in two utterly different worlds.

Living with my little brother allows me to see this -... I know what his life has been like.

But we do not -- even though we share the same parents, and toilet. From birth, men and women are installed with different software. We are given different information. Our worldviews have totally different frameworks.

If you compare the pile of books and magazines by our beds, you see how this happens. When Andrew was thirteen, the floor by his bed was heaped with gaming magazines, and books about physics. He liked physics, his Xbox, and he read books and magazines solely about how to be good at physics -- and about how to play Xbox.

He had no choice in this -- there are no "general interest" magazines for teenage boys. A boy in a newsagent is faced with specialist titles -- on music, gaming, fishing, film, martial arts, etc. -- and so gains a worldview dictated by mono-interest, clannish communities, dedicated to becoming good at "a thing." In newsagents, this is made clear by simple categorization: "men's magazines" are racked together under the title "Men's Interests." Men have interests. You pick your thing; you dedicate yourself to it. You see the whole world through your specialist subject. You concentrate on becoming good at your thing -- and that is how you become successful. This is the way of men.

By way of contrast, the newsagent's racks for female periodicals are titled "Women's Lifestyle." Men have interests -- women have lives. Lives they must strive to perfect. As a consequence, the magazines heaped by my bed were there to guide me through a world where it was presumed I would have to become knowledgeable about a whole range of things that would give me not an interest, but a life. And a stylish life, at that. And that is how you beocme successful if you are a woman."
The "not un" has a long history of debate amongst stylists. I believe it's easily overused because it has certain air of erudition about it. However, sometimes "not un" is straightforward and clearer than the alternatives. In this context... well.. science journals have their own English journalese that lives outside general usage.
If Moore's law continues indefinitely, then we will climb the 2^n NP problem cost with a 2^t computer speed, which means that any specific NP-hard problem will become solvable in an amount of time linear in n.

I thought this was a thoughtful and reasoned reaction. They didn't take a stance apart from asking for action to think through consequences.

Mozilla is (1) 100% dependent on Google for it's survival (2) competing with Google in the browser space, with unfair tactics by Google (3) Critical to the free Internet.

That places them in a tough position.

I suspect if they didn't have unfair competition from Chrome, they could have more marketshare, and ultimately, more revenue from Bing/DDG/etc. (perhaps at lower per-user prices).
Behavioral nudges reduce failure to appear for court
I think there are two takeaways from this experiment. One is not at all noteworthy and one is somewhat interesting but has limited applications.

The uninteresting takeaway is that people note whether a photo is B&W/color and use that to help date the photo. Well, no kidding. We use a lot of contextual information to try to figure that out: not only B&W/color but also graininess, hair/clothing styles, architectural clues, etc. It should not be surprising that we do this. In fact, it would be surprising if we didn't do this.

The slightly more interesting takeaway is that we're bad at it, likely because most people don't have an accurate idea about when color photography became mainstream, and possibly also because some people fail to realize that sometimes B&W is an artistic choice, rather than a technical limitation.

As for what applications that might have ... well, I'm not sure. If it's extremely important (for, say, financial or political reasons) to accurately date a photo, my guess is that you'll bring an expert rather than a layman who knows to account for this. So really the only time I see the effect coming into play is when you have an armchair historian who doesn't know their own limitations.

HTTP and HTTPS are not mutually exclusive. They're synergistic. The idea that a hypothetical downgrade attack is enough justification to kill off HTTP everywhere is incredibly business-centric and stupid. Most sites are not transacting currency or private information.

A centralized cert is just that, centralized. Even if it's LetsEncrypt that's still a single point of failure for organizational corruption (ie, what happened to dot org), accidents (as cert providers mess up regularly) and government control. It's a long leash but if HTTPS is the only option (as is the trend) it's still a leash.

Almost all sites should be HTTP and HTTPS.

Tesla owner says he butt-dialed a $4,280 Autopilot upgrade
Blocking Big Battery Booms (With Bootloaders)
Exactly. All sorts of BD deals get caught up in this line of thinking. Basically it's anti-competitive when there's already a monopoly and you get money for it? "Give your users a worse experience because they can't pay us, and we need the money."
I think the "you get what you pay for" is the kind of heuristic reasoning I'm advocating. It's essentially balance/tradeoffs/etc.

That trading off thought process isn't the same as the ACCEPT|REJECT process of the axiomatic mind.

I think a person who says "quit" is really saying that the very question of trading off heuristics of value isn't applicable.

It's a bit like Poisonous|Edible, or Gold|NotGold. There's nothing to be traded. A Copper apple is Poisonous and NotGold. No two ways about it.

That reasoning only works when the concepts (Gold, Edible, etc.) are natural kinds -- or otherwise disjoint and universal classifiers.

In life, situations fall both into the ACCEPT and REJECT categories, into both GOOD and BAD, into both VALUABLE and WORTHLESS. These concepts are heuristic ones, and not disjoint & universal.

The attempt to apply this "disjoint, axiomatic, ..." reasoning to life is a recipe for catastrophe.

EDIT: my point about principles vs. cases, is that i take: def. heuristic "a resemblance amongst cases"; and def.., principle "a universal rule which disjointly classifies cases"

..ie., a slightly more extreme meaning to "principle" than is in general use
I knew right off the bat they were messing with colorization in photos to try and prove that as a cause of date interpretation. However, I tried really hard to guess the context of the photos and map those to dates rather than mess with colors and clothing, which can be poor indicators given how cyclical style is. Biggest takeaway: it's really hard to accurately guess when a photo was taken unless you know what historical event it captured or there's a dead giveaway (like a piece of tech) in the photo.

This doesn't prove the EMH wrong. In order to prove EMH is wrong you need to show someone like Michael Burry can consistently outperform the market using only publically available information. Making one good trade (no matter how large) isn't that.

In fact, following your reasoning every trade would invalidate the EMH. If the price goes up afterward then the buyer was "right" and if the price goes down afterward then the seller was "right".
