> So what exactly do we know?

A lot more than you’ll find easily digestible in a single Wikipedia article.

> The UK government is producing AI software to "to process the expected high volume of Covid-19 vaccine Adverse Drug Reaction (ADRs)"

The volume is expected to be high not because many actual, serious averse reactions are expected but because the vaccines are expected to be given to many people at once, and every potential averse reaction will be recorded. Most records in such ADR databases are causally unrelated to the vaccine, and merely occur coincidentally; and the vast (>99%) majority of the rest are occasional mild reactions.

> But yes, label people questioning the rushed out vaccine as "conspiracy theorists".

I’m not. I’m labelling specifically those people as conspiracy theorists who make up bullshit that isn’t based on actual biology but rather on complete fiction. In other words, who spew baseless lies. I’m all for robustly criticising these vaccines. But it has to happen scientifically, and by experts.

The forbidden fruit tastes best.

When my parents had a say in my technology usage (amount of time spent in front of a screen, turning off the router at midnight, etc), I would want to find ways around it, such as jumping onto a neighbors hotspot, or saving up and secretly buying myself a second phone so they couldn't take it away. Sometimes I could get away with pulling an all-nighter on my phone.

Before I got into technology, it was books. I read for hours every day, and my parents complained that while reading was good, I was doing it in excess.

Once these limits relaxed, so did my desire to exceed them. Now I've moved out and live on my own, I find myself wanting to spend far less time on the computer.

How exactly is anyone ‘isolated’? There just doesn’t seem to be any basis for saying that that.

All it does is improve the use experience for people who do use Apple’s platform. They are just as able to communicate with people who have SMS as they were before and vice versa. You are going to need to explain this ‘isolation’.

Literally billions of people use competing messaging apps such as WhatsApp or Facebook messenger.
> My body has a thrust to weight ratio of 1, sitting in this chair

No it doesn't. Its 0

> For instance, my body is using the whole earth as its reaction mass, and is using zero energy pushing it downwards at zero speed

That is not how gravity works. There is nothing happening.

> A jet is much more impressive because it gets that high thrust to weight ratio while using a small reaction mass ejected at a high speed. That is what is required to push an aircraft up to supersonic speeds

I wouldn't call it a small reaction mass. A shit ton air is needed to feed the compressor. A jet sacrifices efficiency to get as much mass thrown out the back as fast as possible.

> if it might be possible to fly supersonic much higher than jets, because there is no reduction in engine power.

Why would there be no loss in engine power. If you are using standard propellers, you are limited by air density. If you are using some electric engine to turn a turbine, you have the exact same issue. What magical engine is this electricity powering?
It depends on the curriculum and the teachers.

Some teachers can get super excited about sharing the amazing stuff that's the results of their field. Sure, there's a bit of jargon and memorization to be able to discuss the problem. You can't be amazed by the results of concentration gradients, gene expression on the formation of proteins if you think concentration means something about your eyebrows, gradients are a function of WordArt, gene was a guy who played Willy Wonka, expressions are things your face does, and protein is a number on your dad's whey powder.

If you can make students excited about using, testing, and comprehending the awesome information about their world that are just behind a minor speed bump of some jargon you need to cross, most will hurdle those difficulties as if it was effortless. The standardized tests that check whether they know the jargon will be just a wasted day that they don't get to learn more about the subject!

If, instead, you set the end goal as passing the standardized test that checks whether they know the jargon or not, they'll begrudgingly do the minimum required to not get in too much trouble. The tragedy is that kids who don't even know the bare minimum jargon are often unprepared to function as independent adults, and so the rational, fair, game-theoretic optimum outcome demands resources need to be allocated to help those more than they need to be allocated to help those who are already functional.

Also, there's the tragedy that teachers who pour their hearts into their students aren't adequately valued by society - we pay lawyers and administrators huge sums of money as if what they do is more important than what my 9th grade bio teacher did while using his weekends to crawl through the mud on bog walks to learn about sphagnum mosses and carnivorous plants with some kids he met for an hour a day for 8 months, while barely keeping his family out of poverty.
Despite the book doesn't seem to be particularly great, the topic of Olivetti is a really interesting one.

I am of the opinion that:

1) There's a high chance that the CIA had something to do either with the fate of the company, or the death of Adriano Olivetti himself (on a train, supposedly a heart attack). But I don't necessarily buy the "evil" version here. In fact, Adriano Olivetti had a relationship with CIA officials. [0]

2) Olivetti could have been the Italian Intel or HP or IBM, if Adriano didn't die. In fact, they opened a research center in Silicon Valley, and were poised to lead the desktop computer revolution that happened starting from the late 70s and early 80s.

I can't find the article I had in mind, but this one at least gives you some perspectives on how great, and ahead of its time, the Olivetti company was. [1]

3) There should be a much, much better book to investigate and tell the story.

4) If you think the Google campus was innovative... Adriano Olivetti created a better version of it in the late 40s and 50s in Italy. He was also a prolific writer, his "La città dell'uomo" (the human city) was at the center of his views on how industry, society, work, life could be interpreted [2].

5) Finally, there are several people from the Olivetti labs that ended up doing great things at other silicon valley companies.

Again, I can't find much (or perhaps I am not spending enough time doing it), but this could be a good start [3].

I believe to get the behavior you need a brainless frog - they are shockingly functional due to how much behavior is in bodily reflexes. In that context the brainless frog sort of fits as a metaphor of "cargo culted" or tradition fixed behavior or single strategy. An approach well adapted enough to the expected environment that no thinking is required but is doomed as soon as it has to deal with change.
As a computer nerd in high school, a teacher gave us a Scientific American article about molecular biology- you know, the central dogma and things downstream. I read it. It took me days- I had to read each paragraph slowly, and understood what it said before I could proceed. It seemed really neat- like being put in front of a computer with no manual and being asked to document how it works.

I continued to pursue biology in undergrad, learning some excellent underlying basis (that Roche Biochemistry pathways poster? I had it memorized by the end of my junior year) and getting some experience in the new field of sequence analysis (at the time, E.Coli was being sequenced, and you could FTP the new sequences when the showed up on the server). I worked with some very early machine learning in '95 to build gene classifiers.

This seemed like a good area to work in ("molecular biologists make $70K/year!") so I went to grad school and continued to learn deep biology and work in computational biology along with some wet lab work (whcih I'm terrible at). Postdoc as well- I was on my way to being a Professor of Biology. But, realistically, I couldn't compete with high end postdocs and decided instead to go into industry as a computer scientist.

I've still dabbled in biology- my long term passion is still to build a warehouse-scale biology lab with a tightly coupled robotic experiment framework and machine learning system to do automated biology. A number of people are working in this area and all failing, but writing wonderful PR that makes it sound like they're solving the world's problems. Biology has a huge hype problem- remember when it was promised that genomics was going to cure all human diseases?

I've dropped all biology and returned to computers (with some hardware hacking). It's a real relief- everything makes sense, the engineering is straightforward, you can do it in your garage without contaminating all your surfaces.

Very well done video, however they avoided the controversial issues of the explosion.

Everywhere in Lebanon, people reported seeing and hearing jets flying and even some videos show flying objects. They also never touched on what might have triggered the fire to begin with or whether there was a possibility of a weapons cache being hidden there.

I just dream of a world where people are more honest than that. Just because that's the way it's been doesn't make it okay, nor right. People of integrity do not act this way. When I see people claiming it's alright to act this way, personally I make a note to stay far away from them, and especially to never do business with them.
This right here was such an infuriating discovery for me. Math never made sense to me until I had a kindly old teacher who insisted she watch me write out every step of a problem (in community college). She pointed out that the logic was fine, I was just being sloppy with my notes which led to errors.

It was like a dam broke over night. Everything clicked and I was so pissed off that it took so long to find such a stupid issue. Better late than never I suppose...

> What's the cure to 'wrong speech'? Better speech. Not banning their misinformation.

While I agree with this in principle, it assumes a level of reasonableness in the discussion that is simply not there for many people who hijack online forums. They are not "spreading misinformation" in the sense of making factual statements or reasoned arguments that happen to be wrong, and then engaging in a civil discussion about the matter. They are "spreading misinformation" in the sense of shouting over everyone else and not observing any rules of civil discussion. What they say is often not even coherent enough to be worth trying to refute with better speech. The only way to keep the forum viable at all is to ban them.

One of the things that made me so excited about Rust when I first used it was the capabilities of the Rustdoc system. The built in examples that are also unit tests, the ease of just using markdown... and now the linking is even simpler. It’s one of my favorite things about the language, and I think is why so many crates have such good documentation, because it’s easy to do. (and it’s tested and validated so you know it’s right!)
or whether there was a possibility of a weapons cache being hidden there

I disagree, they show that the colour of the smoke and the different burn zones/phases is consistent with the declared contents of the warehouse. Anything further than that would be idle speculation.

> It boggles my mind how broken the model of rote memorization to pass written tests is. School should teach you the fundamentals of how to acquire knowledge and then get out of your way.

That's utopian and a rather unrealistic, incomplete view. Education is also about imparting a fundamental shared body of knowledge as well, and it also has to deal with a very wide diversity of ability and motivation. Your proposal is pretty lacking in specifics, but what you have in mind seems to be something that's optimized to work very well with an idealized student, which would only be a small fraction of all students, and would likely do worse on average when considering all students.

> I think this is the cynical view that paints it in an arrogant light.

Because it is arrogant to say that vegans must subsidize milk production(which they do), it is arrogant to say that an atheist must pay compensate for Church tax exemptions... and the farther away the taxing authority, the more arrogant it is. The biggest issue that I have with my taxes here in US - subsidies for military to fight a war on behalf of the Saudis in Yemen.

If you're willing to pay for or contribute to something bigger/better - then why use tax for it?

This sort of thing needs to attract anti-competitive scrutiny at some point. Give away something for free, drive your competitors away, then raise prices is a text book anti-competitive move.
Same exact experience.

That's why I find it rich that Google groups this under "page experience signals".

This is the ugly side of market dominance.

Google is entitled to have the opinion that AMP improves page experience.

But without competition, there is no loss of market share to give them the "this sucks" signal.

So the world has to wait for Google to degrade to the point that a new competitor starts to eat their market share.
> Half the time videos just play at 360p even though I have never had a second of buffering on my 500Mpbs connection.

Weird. I have a 50Mbps connection and get 1080p minimum on everything I watch. I like to use YT Music for discovery but not a full listening experience. Over all, YTP has really improved content discovery for me. Ad free makes it easy to find out which videos are BS.
I mean the exterior walls of our house were completely uninsulated in the subfloor area.

You're correct that it doesn't make sense to insulate between floors, but you do need to insulate the entire exterior wall area, which includes the wall space between floors.
I think the infrastructure has rusted a bit. A while back I wanted to spin up a forum, and I wasn't super impressed. There's a mix of new projects that don't really get the forum thing (they're often very focused on businesses rather than communities), and old PHP projects which haven't advanced since the early 2000s.

This also goes for the infrastructure around forums - several turnkey sites I tried simply didn't work, and I ended up deploying one myself through a crufty Bluehost portal. Given that a lot of forum activity is driven by non-tech people, I'm not surprised they've started dying out. It's a shame, but the monoliths like FB have both the audience and the on-ramps.

Edit: as a side note, I eventually gave up because I couldn't get my target community to join the forum. Most people were already on a Facebook group and uninterested in switching.

I'm not super familiar with the history of aviation, but by the end of the 90s, 3D accelerators became widespread.

This meant that 3D became available to the masses, but the only way you could render graphics was the DirectX/OpenGL way, with triangles,Z-Buffers,vertex/pixel shaders.

Unfortunately this meant that other techniques, like voxel raycasting, spline surfaces and other weird techniques couldn't be accelerated, and became much less prominent.

So yeah, the analogy stands that 3D transitioned from a period of whimsical experimentation to a "this-is-how-we-do-things" mindset in the timeframe, while a number of otherwise interesting solutions fell by the wayside.

It feels like a generational thing, too. My aunt and uncle showed me the 1932 production of "The Mummy," and it terrified them. They were born in the 40s, and so saw this movie in their teens. (and perhaps even later) I watched it recently, and can't even imagine being scared.

I'd like to think that there is both an objective and subjective aspect to this. On the one hand, maybe people just can't appreciate the older styles of art. On the other hand, after being exposed to modern violence, cinematography, and suspense, the old techniques truly do pale in comparison, at least in the visceral, emotional sense.

In the past this kind of material would be collected and analyzed by state intelligence services.

Combined by allies and used to gain leverage for individual or combined strategic priorities.

Something like, “Here is how negligent you were. Install this person in power or we leak this and your people revolt and you won’t be able to walk away.”

More recently, it seems, some news organizations have begun assembling reports using modeling and expert analysis.

A good example is The NY Times report on Philadelphia Police use of tear gas against a group of trapped protestors. [1]

Having this information about the Beirut warehouse explosion open-sourced so-to-speak, seems to signal a further shift away from reliance on state intelligence and the advertising-funded third state.

This reminds me some of the collected content created and posted to social media by the public in the aftermath of the downing of Ukrainian International Airlines Flight 752. That loose set of content eventually forced the Iranian government to admit responsibility.

I’d presume that the quality and speed of independent research and analysis of public data will increase to where a scene of non-media, ngo research groups grows, beating out the resources of any given media or government.

Sort of like warez, but with information analysis.
