Another entry in the “good” column: no hospitalisations or severe cases of the disease were reported in participants receiving the vaccine.

I agree about the confusion, though. I worry that people will avoid this vaccine, in the hopes of receiving the Moderna/Biontech one instead.

That would be a real shame, because the results here are extremely positive. The media’s reporting of this is concerning.
They will limit the number of videos you can watch every month.

mRNA is confusing to use as short for Moderna here. It's also a type of vaccine. Pfizer vaccine is also mRNA.
And nor do most microcontrollers, so perfect fit!

You really don't understand. You need to be able to take more than a day off without getting evicted/loosing your car or eating oats most days. Go tell people that they don't need a home, their job and it's meager benefits like healthcare, and they should just be more stoic.
Can it do this anymore on macOS? My understanding was that they were going to start linking to libSystem, as they should, because otherwise golang apps can and will break between major macOS releases.

(Not to mention the golang folks' need to reinvent the wheel has caused a few high-profile bugs that have needlessly wasted people's time.)

Regardless, this quickly falls apart whenever you have an app that does any kind of FFI to system libraries, or even third-party libraries that the author didn't want to reimplement in golang.
It's a much better situation than NULLing them out, because that hides bugs and makes tools like Address Sanitizer useless. A dangling pointer, when freed, will often throw an assert in your allocator; here's an example of how this looks like on my computer:

$ clang -x c -
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
char *foo = malloc(10);
free(foo);
free(foo);
}
$ ./a.out
a.out(14391,0x1024dfd40) malloc: *** error for object 0x11fe06a30: pointer being freed was not allocated
a.out(14391,0x1024dfd40) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Abort trap

As you turn up your (automatic) checking this will be caught more and more often. Setting the pointer to NULL will silently hide the error as free(NULL) is a no-op and nothing will catch it. Thus, the suggestion here was

1. advocating adding additional code, which has historically been hard to actually do in practice, and

2. providing a suggestion that is generally worse.
"So, zero severe cases for Oxford, and one for Pfizer. Interesting." What is interesting? That they probably both have the same rate, and we are seeing a statistical fluctuation because of the low sample number?
Too bad. I thought this is about changing the landscape
Only in the richest countries. Due to the totally different age pyramid and thus few severe cases, vaccination might not be worth it for the poorest countries even at this lower price.

This makes UAF easier to detect but double-free impossible to detect. I would consider that to be worse than not doing anything at all, especially since it isn't amenable to modern tooling that is much better at catching these issues than hand-rolled defensive coding.
> Maximum shedding duration was 83 days in the upper respiratory tract

So covid-19 is transmissible for up to 83 days once infected?
Even Java ? ;)
I find it a bit weird that there are fewer asymptomatic cases with this vaccine? Is it somehow increasing the immune response to COVID-19?
If enough people get a vaccination that is >50% effective, Sars-CoV-2 should peter out.
The flu vaccine problem is mostly that there are always several strains floating around.

A vaccine that is 90% effective against one strain may only be 40% effective against the collective.
For further fire on the speculation: Japanese nouns are always both singular and plural. Japanese as a language does not encode plurality. Thus if one considers Lexus to be a Japanese word the plural form being Lexus is reasonable.

Like how tsunami is never tsunamis. Or sushi is never sushis. One might argue that "eating sushi" implies multiples by the nature of sushi. Yet McDonalds sells French Fries not French Fry. Likewise we eat Potato Chips not Potato Chip. Thus in other words beyond Lexus the english language adopts the Japanese style.

I realize the pandemic is temporary but I was amused at the thought of just how useless that feature would be for me at present.

That would be a really neat tool though - I hope it makes an appearance on HN once you get it working.
In an unvacinated population, yeah, it spreads like wildfire. In a mostly vaccinated population having small pockets, well not good, is not the same level of existential threat. Think about how concerned you are personally about measeles vs how much someone 100 years ago would be.
Google Drive is a sad joke, don't use it for business
Shipping code with Address Sanitizer enabled is generally not advisable; it has fairly high overhead. You should absolutely use it during testing, though!
Yeah, the fact that this doesn't even need a freezer is great news.

The fact that we have three highly effective vaccines in such a short period is amazing and between them we might stand a chance of making and distributing them at the scale necessary to get things under some kind of control by August.
Note that the problem goes both ways - the candidate may be afraid of being sued by their employer if they tell you (a competitor) any details about their current work.

I can’t remember the name of the book anymore, but a chemist from the US Army published a book on his work on psychoactive chemical weapons, namely BZ.

What was most interesting to me was that volunteering to be a test subject was regarded as a cushy assignment. Basically given psychoactive drugs and then be observed. BZ has a very lo half-life so the test subjects were often delirious for days at a time.

Edit.

I stand corrected. This cannot be used by police at all. A police officer would have to be present at the time of the video and not reliant upon that video for observation of the criminal act. If the officer requires use of the video then that video would require a warrant prior to its viewing by law enforcement.

Their interpretation does not make it sound like this is the case:

"Although SARS-CoV-2 RNA shedding in respiratory and stool samples can be prolonged, duration of viable virus is relatively short-lived. SARS-CoV-2 titres in the upper respiratory tract peak in the first week of illness. Early case finding and isolation, and public education on the spectrum of illness and period of infectiousness are key to the effective containment of SARS-CoV-2."
> just expose yourself to media (news, social media, "influencers", etc) and they will helpfully convince you that everything you thought before you encountered them was bad/racist/sexist/conservative/etc.

I wish this was true. I actually feel that racism, sexism, reactionary thought is on the rise. If it seems that liberal ideas are becoming dominant in the public space, it is actually because 1) liberals are starting to feel with their back against the wall, and are reacting in the field where they have the most power, the discursive sphere. And 2) people are finally finding the courage to speak out again about issues that have been plaguing us for centuries (see MeToo and Black Lives Matter).

And to put on a tinfoil hat and risk being downvoted: I don't buy the "social media is manipulating us poor people" narrative. That is a spin encouraged by the traditional media who see their share of the cake being endangered. They are used to be, well, "media", mediating between the public sphere and the people. With social media connecting people directly, they have a kind of existential crisis.

What actually is happening is that social media amplifies and brings out what people are actually thinking, and in many cases that is a cesspool of hate and conspiracy theory - all across the political spectrum. We didn't see it before because traditional "media" chose what to amplify and what not, and kept a lid on it.

If they actually get to 90% or more, why would anyone bother with the more expensive and cumbersome vaccines? Except that the EU already signed a deal to buy the vaccines from AstraZeneca, Sanofi and Johnson & Johnson.
It's impossible to agree on one thing if your group is large enough. Even on trivial things.

If Coinbase thinks it's the right thing to do: let them. If they are wrong, history will show. Why should outsiders judge that company? They aren't doing illegal things and it's their choice to make.
I don't know much about the chemistry, but most new processes tend to be more expensive due to setup costs.
Superficially regarding number 2: on a population scale a lot depends on how contagious the disease is. The measles vaccine is very efficient (over 95% after two doses), but still requires something like a 90% vaccination grade to prevent outbreaks. Measles is very very very contagious.

Covid is not nearly as contagious, so to prevent outbreaks it doesn't have to be nearly as good at the same vaccination grade.

For an individual, however, 70% would not feel very reassuring, which is why we need a lot of people getting vaccinated.

Edit: fixed some autocorrect issues. I feel I should add: measles is not at fun, even if you don't have any complications. You become very sick. Serious complications are _a lot_ more common than adverse reactions to the vaccine. Don't rely on other people being vaccinated unless you have a compromised immune system in any way.

Or, you know, actually asking questions about the stats, to put them in context, instead of taking a number like it means something all alone...

But thanks for the knee-jerk non-argument
But:

> no live virus was isolated from culture beyond day 9 of symptoms despite persistently high viral RNA loads.

> This finding is supported by several studies demonstrating an association between viral load and viability of virus, with no successful culture from samples below a certain viral load threshold.

So the amount shed is too low to infect anyone beyond 9-10 days (I think, I am not a virologist, etc.)

I think that's the misunderstanding, then, because to me it seemed to be a defensive coding practice (I think it was certainly presented as such in the top comment). My "you need extra checks" claim was mostly aimed at the additional things you add on to your code assuming that you are now zeroing out freed pointers, which I think can lead to dangerous situations where you may come to rely on this being done consistently when it's a manual process that is easy to forget.

Left unsaid due to the fact I was out doing groceries this morning when I posted that was that I don't think this is even a very good practice in general, as I explained in more detail in other comments here.
> Hi. The results on that video do not reflect your comments; The software encoder is obviously inferior.

Well, you'd be wrong.[0] If you can provide timestamps or any sort of reference to backup your claim, as I have, that would help everyone. I'm not sure why you'd even respond if you're not going to bring any measurements or data.

>Also those results are old.

Yes, I was the first to point that out when I said they were from a few years ago, but still suggestive. The conclusion stands unless you have put together something as comprehensive for our review. I'd be happy to take a look at it since it sounds like you challenge the results. A comment on the internet is not good enough though to do that.

If you have all the hardware to test software vs QuickSync vs NVENC, put a video out there. Many would be very interested, but credibility matters and I fully trust Chris from Battle(non)sense on latency and IQ benchmarks as I've been watching his content and methods for years. Sweeping statements with no citations aren't enough to erase data. Not knowing the first thing about you, your competency or setup, my initial bet is that there's something wrong with your setup to possibly get worse results using software over NVENC. As I have also personally compared them, and my conclusions align with my Youtube source.

While we now get the results from various COVID-19 vaccines I see a societal issue brewing up. How will we deal with the perceived uncertainty of the safety of these vaccines and the surrounding (dis-)infodemic?

I read recently that in some European country (was it Germany?) the willingness to vaccinate against COVID-19 went down from 80% to 60%. With these numbers policy makers will have a hard time convincing the broad population that they can rely on a due process and be safe. In the meantime there is a proliferation of false information and fake news, while in the past there was not much media coverage of significant side effects from a rushed swine flu vaccine [1].

It may be possible to replace the dependency on the python script by using objective c to call the required libraries, then expose a c API that can be called from the go application. E.g. https://gist.github.com/porty/6b94f7f908ed7af0f070 https://github.com/caseymrm/menuet

I'm with you on this. I mean, I struggle with it - Trump, CV, Brexit, etc - it's all pretty clickbaity stuff, built for hours of mindless browsing - but ultimately, what does an endless newscycle actually do to an individual?

I live in Cornwall in the UK: much of this stuff is - anger and distaste and "long distance fear" aside - completely irrelevant. I think Trump is appalling, but really, what difference does it make to me? None whatsoever. What difference can I make to whether he's in power or not? None whatsoever. What is net result of me seeing yet more news about how redundant a human being he is? I get cross, depressed, and - as per OP's article - man, I waste a bunch of time I'll never get back.

The problem I've struggled with is that there is presumably a continuum at the end of this "caring less" approach which is the "why bother voting" lassitude, and I certainly don't want to go that way. I'm still passionately left wing, passionate about helping fix inequality and the environment and so on - so news at a higher level is important. But I'm not sure the sort of rapid, breathless, clickbaity HORROR cycle does anything for anyone.
Or for languages with no such non-language-native dependencies, like Go, where I've found it to be piece of cake (and I've never ever tried it for C).
Again this is not fundamentally tied to whether functions and variables share a namespace, in clojure they do and yet your example above does not cause a problem. Watch:

Let's start out with a function:

user=> (defn enlist [x] (if (list? x) x (list x)))
#'user/enlist
user=> (let [list 1] (enlist list))
(1)

Create a (pointless) equivalent macro:

user=> (defmacro enlist' [x] `(let [y# ~x] (if (list? y#) y# (list y#))))
user=> (let [list 1] (enlist' list))
(1)

No hygiene and yet it works!

How? The secret is that backquote is automatically namespace qualifying:

user=> '(list 1 2 3)
(list 1 2 3)
user=> `(list 1 2 3)
(clojure.core/list 1 2 3)

In practice this + convenient gensym syntax (also demonstrated above) seems to be enough, just like in practice Common Lisp's approach of separate value and function cells for symbols + prohibition of rebinding function cells of symbols in the standard COMMON-LISP namespace is. Scheme has no cl style namespaces and no prohibition on redefining standard bindings and thus came up with a much more complex macro approach, at the gain of stronger hygiene guarantees (but see article above!) and the cost of an ugly design of considerable complexity that has a completely different sublanguage (non-orthogonally) baked in.

As far as purely hygiene is concerned that's IMO not a good trade-off at all; I could rattle off a long list of major usability gripes with both cl and clojure but problems caused by lack of macro hygiene wouldn't be on it.

Racket, which is basically several iterations beyond R*RS macros, OTOH is interesting because it's more principled approach gives you something qualitatively different to what you can do with clojure (no read-syntax control; bad error messages) and common lisp (readtables suck and break tooling; bad error messages).
Disrupting any part of a complex system is dangerous to the stability of the system. How can ocean life distinguish between food and small pieces of plastic?

> And then I read a few of the truly interesting-seeming articles that bubble up on places like this here website, etc.

This approach comes with an obvious sampling bias lurking. I'm not going to tell you not to do it, but it's something to be aware about. That's why I prefer to have my news curated by a small set of organisations that are more diverse and can make me inform myself on a broader set of issues than the ones I would naturally find interesting.
I think we're talking a bit past each other here; I don't deny that on average poor people were generally worse off 100 years ago (although I'm not a student of history, so there may be some nuance here, or not, I'm not sure), but I don't think that's important here.

Of course "poverty" is subjective, but IMHO it's a disgrace that (working!) people struggle to make ends meet every month, and would definitely classify that as "poverty". That peasants 100 years ago had it worse is just irrelevant here, in my view.

I'm not entirely sure what the intention of your comment was, but by your reasoning we could relativise every war as "it's not as bad as WWII" or every pandemic as "it's not as bad as the black death", and that doesn't strike me as a helpful or constructive way to deal with the problems that exist in the here and now.

Why do they sabotaged their own messaging by using the 70% number? Reading further, it looks like the vaccine is 90% efficient.

Also, "There were no hospitalised or severe cases in anyone who received the vaccine".

Can we infer anything from that statement? They seem to be suggesting that the infection might be less serious in the vaccinated population...
That's a very polar way of reasoning. It's not all politics. I can imagine several reasons to justify those decisions outside "doing politics"-reason.

Or please define "political decision".
