I am a Principal Engineer in the Open Source Programs Office at Amazon.

This is something we are very aware of, and discussions about this cross my desk weekly.

One big problem of the many problems I face regarding such proposals is the people who are the best at writing open source who need the money the most are not the people who are good at writing grant proposals and are good at sucking the money out of such funding systems.

But who will fact-check the fact-checkers? Also, who will ensure that fact-checking rules are consistently applied to everyone?
Are undergrads from elite universities any different from your experience?
Thank you for your wishes.

Nothing special about doxorubicin. This is a broad technology that can be applied to many cancer therapies, including radionuclides as you as asked.

I agree with your comments on using a known agent.
Yes, you're right, it is the isostatic unloading that they're referring to - but in regards to the 'sucking', they seem to mean that the semi-localised unloaded of the top of crust (via rain, river incision) creates a zone of lower lithostatic pressure, and so that area ends up getting pushed up to maintain isostatic equilibrium. Not truly a 'sucking', but as an analogy, I think it's OK.
It's more easily seen as part of the critical wedge angle for fold and thrust belts.
I think, as mentioned here in the comments, his IFR estimate could be off by a factor of 2 or 3, but given that when he made his Santa Clara study, people were still worried about vastly higher fatality rates, he was still likely closer in absolute terms than many others. If he says the IFR is 0.27% and it is really 0.6% that is only off by 0.33. Anyone who thought it was 1.5% or 3% would've been off by a much higher amount.
They said it has lenticular lenses and stereoscopy.
Exactly the mode described in the post I was answering to. I could cite the whole comment, but I don't see a point.
>> Especially given that improvements in sequential computing speed are already difficult to achieve and it's known that this will become even more and more difficult in the future...

That's perfect. As performance stop increasing just by shrinking transistors, other options will have a chance to prove themselves.

>> but the computing model of C is inherently sequential and it's quite problematic to make proper use of increasingly more parallel machines.

IMHO Rust will help with that. The code analysis and ownership guarantees should allow the compiler to to decide when things can be run in parallel. Rust also forces you to write code that will be easier to do that. It's not a magic bullet but I think it will raise the bar on what we can expect.
NZ has has 1/8900 of the US death toll. We have 1/66th the US population.

It’s hard to argue that our response is going to cause more deaths than the US response. It almost feels like cheating to compare NZ to USA where covid is concerned.
> There is no conspiracy against Tesla

Anyone who thinks this didn't follow the whole (now largely extinct) tslaq mess. The websites coordinating things were in plain view. Even today there are public attacks on Tesla and others: https://antiadvertisingadvertising.club/

I don't think its the cause of negative comments on Hacker News, though, tbh.
As ghoulish as it may seem, I suspect another reason behind the declining fatality rate is that the earlier waves already killed some of the most vulnerable people.
The lack of imagination on your part was an allusion to the inability to see a structural solution to the conflated issues of identity; access; location; and social affinity. Believe it or not, it is possible to have a social network where it is impossible to spam.

Well, the internet gifted to us, with its flat namespace and the inevitable conflation of user identity with device identity, [empowers] bad actors. I alluded to this.
Not to speak for GP, but I think what he's getting at is that the application of AI in this business model in order to drive engagement (for the purpose of selling ads) should be illegal. Or more generally, we need regulation around AI.
Thank you. We are very proud of what the team has accomplished and optimistic based on what the CAPAC platform has shown in preclinical studies. The unique aspect of this is that it is based on chemistry not biology so it seems that the reproducibility across species (and hopefully across patients) is better.
Just now it was announced that there is a new border case of covid that is awfully close to being a community case. Hopefully it is contained.

Edit: it is classified as community.

Is stubbornness itself axiomatic or actually derived from an intrinsic motivation?
>Both are in the "extremes" of some political compass but are not equivalent by any sane interpretation.

This seems to have a pretty long tradition in the US, it seems like the political or ethical version of what often happens in science discourse, where creationism and evolution are treated as equally reasonable debate positions and so on.

The only yardstick seems to be "how many people are offended" rather than standing by scientific principle or the standards and rules of their platform. If 90% of misinformation and inhumane content comes out of one political camp it should make the people in that camp think, not Facebook.
Edit: I realise conscientiousness is a much more precise word choice than discipline
Curiously, Stanford excels at poor research methodology these days, with MIT a close second. It turns out that faculty positions are competitive enough at the elites that few make it in without cheating. There has been a steady decline in research integrity (with a parallel incline in research impact) as competition went up.

I'm not sure what to do about it. I know MIT better than Stanford, and fixing the culture would involve firing a big chunk of the faculty. You can't fire tenured faculty, even if you could get people to acknowledge the problem.

Integrity at 2nd and 3rd tier schools is still a lot higher, but we do need to fix incentive structures, or the rot will take over academia.

Softer disciplines (like social sciences) are way ahead of harder disciplines like CS on the rot curve. In CS, it's a lot harder to bake data.
FWIW my late 2013, 15" MacBook Pro seems to me just as good as new. Never had to replace the battery or have any kind of service done on it at all.

I kind of want to buy a new model but this thing just keeps going so I have no legitimate reason to do so. Honestly, I really love the machine. The fact that I'll get at least eight years out of it, as I did from my last MBP, means I'll definitely buy another MacBook Pro.
There is a spectrum of reliability. A panel of experts deciding on truth or fakeness of news is on the bad end of the spectrum, everyone figuring out what they think is most likely true is further towards the good end of the spectrum.

But nowhere on the spectrum is good enough to uncritically trust news you read on the internet. That can't be achieved. There is a choice of misinformation - either that approved by an eventally corrupt panel of experts, or those approved by the opinions of People of Average Intelligence, or that approved by people you personally like.

Communication problems usually come down to people not understanding each other, which has many causes of course. Most of these have to do with people being all different. When people are all the same, less communication problems.

But having people all the same then introduces non-communication problems. Lack of genetic diversity is a potential catastrophe. Lack of outside perspective makes novel thinking difficult. Lack of change breeds complacency.

So you need your software to work pretty much all the same way, but you need diversity in how it works to survive environmental challenges.

Nature has a solution for this (as in most things): evolution. You mutate a bit every so often and eventually something works better. Then you stick with that and repeat. It's a continuous improvement cycle driven by measurably better outcomes from experiments.

This can work for hardware too but it's definitely not as straightforward. But no matter what you use it on, you can't have some clunky, hierarchical, reactive, conservative, single-minded power structure holding the process back. The stack will always suffer as long as there's a giant anchor at the top keeping it from being agile and mutating. It's not so much a cultural thing as an organism; if the organism can't agree on how to grow, it's not gonna fare well against competition.
could also be that they just have an if staging/else somewhere for the credentials (but of course this isn't a counterpoint to the root of your point - the script wiping the database shouldn't be using anything that does something like this, and you probably shouldn't do it at all)
Why are we talking about on Flash? That's the weakest part of the argument.

If you don’t want Congress to do political work, if you just want a taxpayer funded political drama to watch in your off hours, then you and I my friend are going to have to disagree.

Politics isn’t pretty, you can put some lipstick on that pig but it’s still a pig, and has a pig’s nature. Maybe there’s still something to work with though, you want a high bandwidth window of observation, and I don’t want to throw accountability out the window entirely, just C-SPAN.

I want the smoke filled rooms and the backroom deals to come back because those are signs of a Congress that is putting the legwork in and not rolling over for the President.

I think everybody wants to know that there’s a Rep working for them on the floor, even if they can’t watch the floor and watch perfectly edited clips to show mountains where there are only mole hills and vice versa.

How do we all get what we want here? I’ve got some ideas, but maybe you have some too.

Conspiracy theories emerge from the complicated and low-quality ecosystem that is required to monetize free content with ads. If people pay you a subscription, you don’t need to incentivize scammers to produce content that enrages people so they can see a viagra ad. Instead you can do what Apple and Netflix do: pay content creators for quality content, and compete on quality.

Is there a market for $5/month all-you-can-eat documentaries about lizards who secretly run the world and lay their eggs in vaccines? Sure, but it won’t be a $300B company capable of destabilizing entire countries.
The end-of-life for CentOS 8, according to https://www.centos.org/download/, is going to be 2029-05-31; however, RHEL tends to add a few extra years of extended support beyond that. According to Wikipedia, the longest extended support so far was around five years, which would get us to 2034. And people often use operating systems many years beyond their end-of-life.

Keeping in mind that XFS is a filesystem format, it's not hard at all to imagine a filesystem created in CentOS 8 and/or RHEL 8 still being in use when 2038 arrives, even if the operating system was already upgraded to the next major version.

Articles like this are so ridiculously tone-deaf. As a working stiff, I can't reasonably shove all communications into one day and spend another writing code. I suspect the overwhelming majority of readers of this site are in a similar position.

I've done a few contracts as an independent in the last two years completely agree that sales is the most important and is also the hardest.

I disagree with you when you say problem is the 0 to POC/MVP (excluding sales).
I think that is the easiest and most fun part of a project. The hardest is 0 to first line of code.

When you complete part of the POC/MVP and it seems to be working, clients understand what you are worth.

In my experience, after the POC, managers had no problem boosting the budget because you've proven you can do the job and there is low risk in giving you more work and freedom to continue adding features.

I might have been lucky to get along really nicely with all of my clients yet.

Finding the initial problem is the hardest for me. All of my contracts were from previous contacts and someone knowing someone...

If anyone has it the other way around, I'd love to learn more.
Many of the gotchas wouldn't ever show up if only people committed to writing JS as sensibly as they write their programs in other languages when they're being forced to do things a certain way.

But when it comes to JS and even other dynamic languages, people for some reason absolutely lose their minds, like a teenager whose parents are going out of town and are leaving them home by themselves overnight for the first time. I've seen horrendous JS from Java programmers, for example, that has made me think "Just... why? Why didn't you write the program you would have written (or already did write!) were you writing it in Java?" Like, "Yes, there are working JS programmers who do these kinds of zany things and make a real mess like this, but you don't have to, you know?"

It's as if people are dead set on proving that they need the gutter bumpers and need to be sentenced to only playing rail shooters instead of the open world game, because they can't be trusted to behave responsibly otherwise.

I run a business with reletively high volume. Our transactions go through stripe but we also have Paypal checkout option. About 80% of the people landing on our site choose Paypal.

It has nothing to do with "got my back" because they still use a credit card to pay through paypal. The main reason is it is easy to just hit Paypal, and approve despite of the dark patterns (I can't believe how many times I've had to switch between my bank a/c source and creditcard or paypal balance... fuck you Paypal PMs for making this confusing on purpose), and there is no need to fill out credit card forms.

Stripe folks if you're listening - I am reporting from the battle field - please work on a Stripe user account and it will kill Paypal instantly. Just login with Stripe account on any store and instantly checkout. Whenever I have an Apple Pay option, I choose it because it is instant. Filling out credit card details is the real problem.

I think this sums up our predicament: "Lies can be carefully crafted to exploit the way human brains work, to mislead people into believing them... the truth is limited, because it has to be true."
BTW, for those substantially younger than dirt. You may be wondering why your elder elders aren’t particularly frightened by this, but folks 40 to 60 are more sensitized.

After a certain age momento mori, a reminder that you will die, start coming at you fast and furious. This is just one more. They probably care more about seeing you than this next scheduled flight to Heaven.

What unique about the shutdowns and social isolation, for the 40s-60s, are this is a momento senesci (if I have the Latin right). It’s a reminder that they will mostly likely enter a stage in life called old age, the slo-go/no-go stage of old age. A time when there will be fewer friends to visit, or the logistics become too difficult. A time when they will stay at home much more, and wouldn’t it be nice to have a comfortable home to be in. A time when that next flu won’t be so easy to shake, so maybe they skip that concert. The grim reaper isn’t knocking at the door, but rather an older, frailer version of themselves. These shutdowns and social distancing are a disconcerting trial run.

My take on things...

If anything, you seem to be saying the opposite of the Baumol effect! From Wikipedia:

> The rise of wages in jobs without productivity gains derives from the requirement to compete for employees with jobs that have experienced gains and so can naturally pay higher salaries, just as classical economics predicts.

You claim that those low-efficiency jobs would still have workers if we were allowed to pay them a low enough price. Baumol effect says they'd choose to work higher-efficiency jobs until you paid them the same wage as a high-efficiency job worker.
I didn't mean to imply that it was emotional, just that it is your own preference and different from mine. Personal there as relating to your person.

Sorry, needed to clarify that, but I really don't want to argue this point with you.

Can you summarize the objections? I skimmed the BuzzFeed article and it is very long, filled with vague innuendo. I couldn’t find any argument on the merits.

Similarly your post is an ad hominem, but you didn’t make any arguments based on merits.
That's part of it, but another way vocabulary can be easy is if it is self-documenting meaning you can figure out the meaning without memorizing it specifically. The Chinese 地理 is literally "Earth Science" (a term also used in English but with a broader meaning of all sciences dealing with the earth including geology and geophysics as well as geography) . Spanish "geografía" means "earth description" but isn't as self-documenting because to recognize this you have to go outside the language to Ancient Greek.

Address generation units basically do C array indexing and pointer arithmetic, e.g. a[i], p + i, where a is a pointer of a particular size.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_generation_unit

In C, something like a[i] is more or less:

(char*)(a) + (i * sizeof(*a))

And I think it will do a lot more than that for "free", e.g. a[i+1] or a[2k+1], though I don't know the details.

By having address calculations handled by separate circuitry that operates in parallel with the rest of the CPU, the number of CPU cycles required for executing various machine instructions can be reduced, bringing performance improvements.[2][3]

And I’m free to criticize their censorship, and the way they lie about it.

If the only reply left is “Well, they can legally do it!” (assuming their lies about said censorship aren’t legally problematic), that’s very telling. It completely ignores the question of morality, especially when the platforms in question have so much control over society.

Lots of things are legal. That doesn’t make them right. In some cases, they’re very wrong.
First of all, just extrapolating from someone's side/hobby/demo project to all WebGL pages is naive. The effort put into a demo is orders of magnitude less than a real site.

Second, "GPU-enabled JavaScript" has already taken off. Ever used Google Maps or Google Earth - both use WebGL heavily? Or maybe you read the NYTimes who occasionally produce pages with a heavy WebGL focus[1].
