Wikipedia defines the Dark Ages as lasting through the 15th century, by which point, Islamic medical advancements would have made it into Europe. Obviously, in 500AD, they didn't yet exist.

One of the reason for the decline of the term "dark ages" is that there is increasing evidence that people in this period didn't actually crawl under a rock of ignorance. Large-scale armies and infrastructure projects were gone, but at the same time, a lot more knowledge persisted than is given credit for -- the sorts of things which don't require a massive Roman central government administration to maintain.
I'd second that; ODROID is a platform to avoid.

A couple of years ago I bought a C2 and it still hasn't progressed beyond the 3.14 kernel required by the versions of Android Samsung was shipping on phones using that chip[1]. Also, getting the display working correctly with a monitor attached via an HDMI to DVI-D cable was obnoxious (again reflecting the CPU's Android heritage - hardware expects to be told exactly what's attached and doesn't try to detect anything).

That's assuming that the mining hardware doesn't get more power efficient (obviously, that ALSO means miners are profitable at higher hashrates, so more total miners).

I think there may be a future where energy is no longer the deciding factor in profitability vs the hardware itself and operational costs (land, employees etc). Which could mean less power consumption despite climbing hashrate.
Where is the chart listing the negative opportunity costs from the other 99%?

The general consensus is that drive orientation does not matter.

Makes sense to me, the parts are fixed, they're not heavy, gravity does not affect them.

However I've not seen anyone test this in real life.

FWIW I've only ever had drives mounted horizontally, the normal way and upside down. All of them had about the same lifespan.

It depends. Regardless there is limited CPU, and so any scenario in which a stored procedure uses more CPU than a simple query will cause you to hit that saturation point sooner.

I generally have layers of caching on top of the sql server so the majority of queries will be integer equivalency or range checks, if not get by primary key queries. So I am not generally operating in a scenario where a stored procedure would reduce record scans, etc.

I generally also don't run on transactions out side of limited scenarios, since throughput is usually more important to me than data consistency.

Somehow people here are blaming Chrome for a bug in Safari.
Agreed. But! Not all architectures implement atomic operations by locking the bus, as x86 does. The Power architecture uses load-linked, stored-conditional (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load-link/store-conditional) where when you load a value, you can say "pay attention to who modifies this value," and when you go to store the value, you can say "only actually store this value if no one else modified it."
Native English speaker: I’d only be worried if the titles of scientific papers in particular used to be clear to you, as scientific papers are often hard enough even for me, and I’m a listed author on one[0].

Note that Ceph only supports 64-bits ARM, not 32-bits ARM. They removed binaries for the latter from their website, and the armhf port in Debian has a critical bug if you have non-armhf hosts in your cluster. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=961481

Fortunately the Odroid HC4 is 64-bits, unlike its predecessors (HC1 and HC2).
The current pandemic is unprecedented, I think the assumption that no more people will get a covid vaccine than get a flu vaccine is absurd. While there will certainly be some small section of the population which can't or won't receive it, we should still reasonably expect a huge number of people will. Even if people didn't want the vaccine in larger numbers (which I see no evidence to support), I imagine most businesses and schools will require vaccinations for employees and students.

Then for population protection, its important to note that the level of protection we need is not certain - estimates range from as high as 90% to as low as 43% [0], with 60% being the classically assumed number. With a 75% effective vaccine, to reach 60% coverage you only need 80% of the population to receive it, and it's reasonable that with repeated doses the effectiveness can be further increased. While that's a lot of people, it is well within the achievable range.

On top of this, we can target vaccinations. Most of us interact with the same people every day, and most of us would be able to tolerate the disease so long as we have access to proper medical support. Treating people who bridge relatively isolated communities, the immunocompromised and those who come into direct contact with them, and those who are especially likely to be exposed to the virus can substantially reduce the virus' ability to spread and to kill with only a fraction of the doses required for true herd immunity.

A vaccine also provides a substantial benefit in terms of risk reduction. Right now anyone can potentially have the disease; even if you've recently been tested you might have since been infected. As the size of a group goes up, the odds that someone has not been careful goes up, and thus you must be constantly vigilant in all circumstances. But with a vaccine, if everyone in a group has been vaccinated, the odds that the vaccine didn't take in both you and another person are low, and the odds that that other person also happens to be actively infectious is lower still. Even if there are still localized outbreaks, many communities could confidently be declared free of covid with extremely limited restrictions on their members to prevent the reintroduction of the virus.

Things won't instantly go back to normal the minute a vaccine is available, but there is good reason to expect substantial quality of life improvements once a reasonably effective vaccine is being mass produced.

I'd guess the education level thing would catch that.
I agree. It feels like an incomplete, early Christopher Alexander work where he tries to describe Life. CA definitely elaborates more in his second book, and IMO completes it on his last series.
Yes indeed: these are workshop notes from 2017 so it's a little old. In fact, it's surprising to see on Hacker News haha.
I don't see hatred of PayPal as personal, their service is awful. Randomly charging your bank account instead of credit card. Holding money for 3 weeks for no apparent reason. Most amusingly, I had some small amount of foreign currency in my account somehow I couldn't get rid of. It was too little to convert to USD according to their system. In the end I had to delete my account and agree to forfeit all my fractions of a dollar of money. Their service is objectively terrible.
So? The OP observed that the most severe effects were in a very small population of hospitalized patients. You fixated on a (plausible) hypothesis made that this could be due to sedation, and used it to reject the entire argument, even though the OP’s point is right, and your argument is a lowbrow dismissal that “experts would have thought of it”.

By the way: as far as I can tell, the paper doesn’t discuss this issue anywhere.
Imagine for example that you have per record caches. You can run a query to get ids with out joining to the table and then simply fill in any gaps in your cache with a follow up query.

This is an ok way to show that much of "theoretical economics" has no mathematical basis.

But bad epistemology is rampant in economics. If "markets" are defined as purely mathematical, then they're not "real markets" (if such things even exist). If "markets" are part of reality, then they're divorced from pure mathematics. Either way it's misleading to place markets and P=NP in the same epistemological context.
As other have already commented, they have already considered your theory in their analysis:

"Consequently, the observation of
post-infection deficits in the subgroup who were put on a ventilator was not surprising. Conversely,
the deficits in cases who were not put on a ventilator, particularly those who remained at home, was
unexpected."

This effect on those hospitalized is not the primary thrust of their paper. Instead it was the observed effects on those who were not hospitalized or had mild to no respiratory symptoms. They raise many possibilities about why this may be the case and only assert that this effect at least proceeds into the recovery phase. I did not read any claims about this being permanent, broadly speaking.

Slightly off topic, why do people use `mm` as the symbol for millions? Why not just `m` ?
Yes absolutely. You do know that this social website uses "blanket censorship regardless of context" right? Shadow bans, rate limiting, etc. I am 100% sure Hacker News has automated tasks for identifying who to shadow ban and rate limit, since I've tested this with multiple accounts and other tools like changing IPs, etc. and also by contacting them for reasoning for their decisions. I think these are perfectly fine and acceptable ways for people to manage their private communities. My only caveat would be that you can't discriminate against protected classes. I would prefer that these rules be transparent, but I think that's a bit of a straw man for this discussion.

Managing private communities of tens of thousands of people require some disciplined rules in order for the entity's leaders to achieve their goals.

>This is like saying “life is NP-hard.” Like, yeah, of course it is. That doesn’t mean we aren’t pretty good at doing the right thing and rationality (like EMH) is a good, if imperfect tool to analyze behavior.

The granularity of the "correctness" is the major difference here and you're asking the author to be ok with an extremely rough success criteria when they are proposing a mathematically perfect success criteria.

So, define how you would quantify "pretty good" in comparison with "mathematically optimal" and you might get what is in effect an infinite delta.

>but a basic model of rationality would say that humans can “perfectly” solve it.

"basic model of rationality" doesn't make sense. Rationalism has not been shown to provide a pathway to a general epistemology.

Fundamentally the author is making a really good case for the idea that oblique or poorly specified/constructed goal and measurement criteria (eg. EMH) should not be assumed as a competent goal vectoring mechanism for society.

Not sure if this helps but I had a similar issue with my joints (arm, shoulder, wrist) where I would scream in pain when lifting a small book or anything above 3 lbs.

The issue was caused by my immune system acting up which would cause my tendons to become inflamed. After a year of misdiagnosis, Doctors found some heavy medication (methotrexate balanced with plaquenil) to help regulate it. One of the medicines side effects was listed as ‘death’ on the label.

After a year of experimenting, I found that major diet changes (lots more hearty greens, way less sugar and carbs, no caffeine or alcohol), improved sleep, reduced stress (quit my stressful job) completely alleviated my symptoms. I would still have flare ups from time to time which I reduced via physical therapy / exercise (to strengthen muscles supporting my tendons).

Just sharing as I had a somewhat similar condition and was surprised that the fix didn’t have to be a pill.
One trade is enough, if the reason for that trade is something other than dumb luck. The idea behind demanding consistency is that you can get lucky with one trade, but that over the long run, your luck will average out, and your true ability will show. The EMH says that your true ability to judge value won't be greater than the market's ability to judge value. But there are cases where it's clear that the trade wasn't merely luck. That's why I gave the example of the housing bubble: people using only public information were able to better judge the value of MBSs, and it wasn't just luck. They were objectively smarter than the market, because they did something that most people weren't doing: they analyzed the underlying assets. Put another way, the market can behave irrationally, and can seriously mis-price assets. In fact, it often does so, and the reason is not simply that there's missing information. The reason is that people are irrational, lazy, hubristic, etc.

> In fact, following your reasoning every trade would invalidate the EMH.

No, only trades in which the person making the right call was right by something other than luck.

The strongest version of the EMH that actually holds is probably something on the order of, "If you pick a random investor, their expected returns are the same as those of the broader market." That is, you have to weaken it until it's trivially correct.

At my previous job, a large payment app serving millions of users, I ran the logs through some analyzers and compared that to GA. There was a noticable difference: Firefox did have a noticable larger amount of users if read from the logs than from GA. If you think about it, it is not that strange either.

Similar: according to GA we had 0 people using Brave, Opera Mini or Icecat, yet the logs did show a (statistically insignificant) handfull of users using that.

So, while there is no technical reason why firefox might be underrepresented, there is a practical and explainable difference in some cases.

Edit: when I say "noticable", I mean that it could be percieved, not that it orders of magnitude or even significan enough to matter for the business or our choices.
Python is fundamentally not designed to be faster because it leaks a lot of stuff that’s inherently slow that real world code depends on. That’s mutable interpreter frames, global interpreter locks, shared global state, type slots, the C ABI.

The only way to speed it up would be to change the language.

"Someone reporting not being ill can by definition not have residual syptoms"

Ofcourse they can. This is trivially proven by the fact that alot of people lose their sense of smell after a covid infection. Even mostly asymptomatic people have reported this.

"It’s not uncommon for upper respiratory infections such as the common cold or flu to affect our senses of smell and taste. In fact, it’s estimated that a temporary loss of smell happens in over 60 percent of colds and sinus infections."

This is why self-reporting is a different ball-game, I (used) to not consider myself 'sick' and symptomatic if I had a minor flu or cold. One can most definitely report 'not being ill' from coronavirus and suffer residual symptoms.

I find it really interesting, that not only did they do the work of creating a JIT using the CoreCLR for CPython, they created a JIT API so that their system is augmenting CPython and not taking it over. Solid engineering.

There are currently 220 million Firefox users[1]. If 10% of those paid $2 per month, it would be more than $500 million per year. Their Google deal is worth about $400 million in good years.

I imagine it would be fewer than 10%, but even the low single digits would be enough to run a slimmed-down company focused on Firefox alone.

Hey, I guess OP here. These are part of the workshop notes from 2017 (with a few updates, but mostly left intact) on "A Deep Introduction to Julia for Data Science and Scientific Computing". It's a full day 8am-3pm workshop (with extended problem exercises to take home!) that can be found here:

http://ucidatascienceinitiative.github.io/IntroToJulia/

The section that was pulled out to be the heading link here was the portion that comes after first explaining the semantics of the language. The "Why Julia?" section is an explanation of why Julia is fast but also the engineering trade-offs that were made to get it done (and thus the drawbacks of the approach). That is the page is that is linked, but if you're curious about the greater context of this page (and learning the language) do check out the rest of the notes. I will say that they are a bit old (one comment noted that a compiler specializations on literals does handle one of the cases I pointed out in the trade-offs) but for the most part are still a good introduction to the Julia programming language. Surprising to have people tell me this ended up on Hacker News but exciting to see!

> It is like they are being given sentences to translate without telling them the context

This is a pretty common localization problem. Tooling doesn't always make it easy to share context with translators who are often contractors for outside agencies. Unfamiliar developers try to do string math instead of laying out full sentances to translate. People are surprised to find the same original sentence needs different translations on different screens.

Of course, Google has lots of experience with localization, so should really have this down by now.
