The level of discussion presented by the MongoDB fan in that video is basically what GPT-3 does, completely superficial waffle strung together in roughly valid sentences.

Obviously 80% of everything else is crap too, but our brains do it for about 20W. That latter figure makes me think we aren't even close.
China Is Lagging ‘Phase One’ Agricultural Import Obligations by Nearly Half
Are you simply blocking @pm or @protonmail addresses, blocking domains that have protonmail MX, or blocking known protonmail SMTP servers?
This will be horrible.

Natural meat gets tons of micronutrients through many different processes in the animal in it that this artifical meat never can unless they can 100% mimic an entire animal, which well, means that they would have to grow an entire animal...

You cannot just "add some zinc here and there" and pretend that it's ok.

This will lead to severe micronutrient deficiencies, just protein is far from enough.

Anyone who says this is a good food product is an idiot, there is no nice way to say this. In fact the term idiot as a way to mild term for this kind of a person.

To belive you can give & match all the required delicate balance of nutrients in lab grown meat compared to real meat is beyond stupid.
SOHO's pioneering 25 years in orbit
Congrats for winning!

At the moment this is a placeholder :)

We're considering to include this game in another project once it's a little more matured.
The website platform itself started migrating to AWS, in a crude but reasonably effective way, in 2009. Various other service owners migrated sooner though.

Also there had already long been a directive to build services as though they were going to be used by external customers since the early 2000s. It's not wrong to view AWS as just another step in Amazon's long services journey, although that elides many significant events.
Digital products might be tricky, but probably for physical products delivery address is used for tax purposes, so IP doesn't matter.
Evaluating Probability Models Using Statistical Deviance
for real. I used to work at a large company in highly regulated industry with lots of scrutiny on our books. The number of meetings and program proposals it would take just to get finance to agree to the capex of standing up a dozen mac minis would easily dwarf the hardware cost. That's before you get to the actual work. From my experience, saying "we're just going to increase our EC2 spend" is a no-brainer
What do you mean by short term? That swine flu vaccine is my main concern. It wasn't clear in trials, and it took a couple of years before anyone took the problem seriously as far as I can tell -- by that point a significant chunk of the world could have a COVID vaccine.
I tried PostmarketOS, Mobian, and Manjaro.

PostmarketOS edge had Plasma Mobile 5.20.3, which was considered to be the latest plasma mobile at the time.
Clock speeds became similar by the 90s at least since things like instructions per clock and instruction level parallelism can make lower clock speed chips faster than “faster” chips on most code.

I have been going through this book and it is really good so far.
Not necessarily. Every dollar saved on automation is a dollar still in the pocket of the automation owner. The money supply doesn't go down. The type of demand shifts, but it doesn't vanish.

Oh, sure, you've got the risk of an unemployable underclass full of dystopian ennui. But before the guillotines come out, the .01%ers will have lots of cash for buying art, personalized AAA video games, solid gold plumbing fixtures, and the like.

There's good reason to think that we need to reconsider the value of human life in an automated era, when there is plenty of stuff to keep people alive if only we could distribute it just a little bit. We've actually been doing that for well over a century, and there's good reason to think that we've avoided the torches and pitchforks so far only because of that.

The aggregate demand of "society" needn't go down without it. It just might behoove us to consider that the median might be more important than the sum.
My wife and I recently quit watching TV altogether -- we used to watch a movie nearly every night -- and have switched to reading. We are both sleeping better -- a lot better. I find myself wanting to recommend it to everyone I know who has trouble sleeping, but it's quite tricky (maybe even impossible) to talk about quitting TV without coming off as horribly snobbish/elitist.

Edit: the very negative reactions so far in this thread are an example of what I mean. But I do get it, since prior to quitting myself, hearing something like this probably would've pissed me off.
Privacy and security are not the same. Security is to protect against malicious actors. Privacy is to protect data from everyone that’s not the person PII itself.
The meat and dairy industries are heavily subsidized, so not even taxes. Take subsidies away and stop artificially underpricing it.

If we want to make sure meat products stay available in large quantities to everyone so you can have bacon for breakfast, a sandwich with deli slices for lunch, and a burger for dinner every day, you can take that subsidy money and put it toward lab grown meat instead.

Personally I'd like to see some of it redirected to vegetables though. Cheap meat and expensive vegetables isn't the ideal outcome even if it comes from the lab.
But most of HTML5 documents aren't written like that, which is the problem.
> Simply put, Netflix (and its imitators) produce too many TV shows that are too good—and too easy to binge.

I find most shows on Netflix to not be that good. I drop them within minutes.
I love how a real-life experience helped a team innovate and shape a product aiming at improving data platform engineering as well as data ethics!
Thanks for making this public. That's a fantastic use case that I hadn't considered.
I think it's at least a little bit insulting to tell adults how they should be spending their time. Whether someone else is productive with their "free time" or not is simply none of your business.
I was going by this paper in the Lancet, where they note that it's not clear if the vaccines will provide sterilising immunity in the upper airways:

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

This is from September, though, so maybe more is known about that now. I haven't seen news about that, however.
Thanks! I'll fix that RN.
Which browser are you using? We had some problems with Firefox displaying SVG graphics a little differently but it appeared to be working now.

Where is the height and texture data from?
True. Still, it should be easier to find and fix the problem if triggering the makes the program reliably terminate.
Ask HN: Can we get rid of plastic?
Can we get rid of plastic? Are there eco-friendly alternatives which could actually replace plastic?

Where are we in recycling plastic?
If somebody wants to do something to get rid of plastic from earth,what should they do?
Ridiculous really that we now have it as a metric. Transistor count is more sensible, but even that is just a very indirect and approximative measure of performance.

But yes, it is shown again that they should have lied. Just don't do it too much on sensitive topics like emissions...

There probably isn't that much room for improvement anymore since we reach atomic magnitudes.
I was mostly on board right up until the point where he dismisses Europeans and glorifies the American spirit.

I thought HN was above such small-minded nationalistic prejudice.
Ask HN:Do companies make up the VC money they burn during startup stage via IPO?
We see a lot of companies that burn VC money by giving away discounts, rewards, etc. Moreover, many of them don't make profits even after years. If they happen to become profitable and go for an IPO, do they recover the money spent during the pre-IPO years?
> We protect those who aren’t well versed in a topic through regulation for this reason.

You're still missing the crux of the matter. You can't disapprove of something you don't know about.

In addition (Slightly OT, but related), there are many people who do disapprove, but have to have access to a product/service in order to do their job. The only way to protect them is regulation.
A lot of the shows aren't really that great, in my opinion. It's that the alternatives have become less attractive, mostly due to costs and liabilities.

Watching TV is cheap. Going out to eat, to bars, etc is increasingly expensive. Hobbies like gardening require land. Hobbies like AutoX and track days generally require consumables, tools/accessories, and insurance. Even just regular street insurance and health insurance are a major cost. All while wages have stagnated for decades.

Why claim that we are wasting great minds by watching TV? Would people actually be doing productive things otherwise? I would think it would be alternate relaxing things.

Video games are more of a time-sink for me than Netflix, but I comfort myself in the fact that at least video games are interactive, i.e. not "turn-my-brain-off" moments.
Common Lisp Programming Challenge: Week 1: Unit 1.1: SBCL
I am seriously impressed if that actually works. For simply queries, sure, it's tricky, but it makes sense that you can do it. For complex queries, I have no idea how you'd even start to implement something like that.

Do they translate Transact SQL to Postgresql syntax, for do that build a new "language parser"-thing and use the internals of Postgresql to store and process the queries?
You can already see this in academia, where there are sometimes more people trying to write papers than there are people actually reading said papers
even if you can't go lower than 1nm or whatever. three-dimensional integrated circuit, chiplet, improvement in packaging...etc. is pushing semiconductor to better performance.

Yeah netflix is more like the raw cookie dough of tv. You know it's just eggs sugar and butter but goddamn if you don't love it.
My friend tried to do the “ideal farmer” route, rather unintentionally. He bought a cow, who escaped and mated with a bull down the road.

She had a calf, so he thought he’d share the milk the mother was producing with the calf. So he woke up at 6am to milk the cow.

The calf started waking up at 5:30.

So he woke up at 5am.

So the calf started waking up at 4:30am.

You see the pattern here. Turns out, calfs aren’t a big fan of having their milk taken, and there’s a reason they’re separated from their mother if you want to milk the cow.

Edit: some people are saying that dairy cows produce more than the calf can drink. I don’t know if this was a dairy cow.
> And there's just 1 logarithm, which has the property log(x^y) = y log(x). You don't need the ones with a different base.

Maybe I misunderstood your comment but it really sounds like you're saying that only the natural logarithm has this property, but in fact it's true with every base:

log(x^y; b) = log(x^y)/log(b) = y log(x) / log(b) = y log(x; b)
You're going to have to provide sources for this lot. When we're talking about corruption we're talking about things like the no-bid contract to Platform-14 for PPE. Or the "Seaborne Freight" incident.

Tiny firms and shell companies are "an organisation which had no economies of scale, nor any demonstrated expertise in logistics in a competitive environment". DHL at least has a track record of large scale delivery.

> NHS insisted on only using NHS labs, despite being given direct commands to scale up testing as fast as possible

Unsourced, never heard this.
It’s not just the M1 though. I believe they are going to be if they aren’t already using TSMC for all their chips so iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch if I recall correctly. That’s a lot of capacity.

Ultimately they’re in this huge success mode which is great! They just have to be careful
Not to overbuild additional supply and end in a situation where demand tempers for some reason and they are now in a glut
Same. For all the supposed great shows and films out there, I watched a total of zero minutes of TV or films this year - down from dozens/hundreds of hours last year.
The article opens with "Too many great minds waste away their time watching Netflix.".

I'm flagging this ridiculous shit and you should too. Either this is a poorly-written satire piece, or it's a troll-fest waiting to happen.
What reason do you have for thinking they don't?
The answer is that we don't know. But it is not unlikely.

You can still get the flu even if you had a flu shot for example. Some of that may be due to the flu shot being the wrong strain but some of it is definitely due to infection post vaccination. The main reason that they recommend a flu shot is that you usually have a milder course of illness.

Covid will probably be the same way. You could have mild symptoms or be asymptomatic despite being vaccinated and infect someone else.
Thanks for clarifying. And does the physics behind such a construct ensure it wont explode or run amok?
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I also struggle to find shows I find "good", but hey, to each their own.

It's probably more the fact that they can be so aggressively binged that the author is criticizing. Maybe the word he was looking for was "addictive". Shows are not especially good, but they can be very addictive when leveraging cliffhangers, plot twists, etc.
There's a little irony, but I feel like the Netflix Originals aren't really written, but carefully designed to appeal to the masses. They always felt a bit artificial to me.

I think the article is saying to spend time reading things that give rise to creative ideas rather than things that are just a time suck, i.e. Netflix.
I think every generation tries to make this argument or one similar, which boils down to "a significant portion of the population is devoting it attention to something that didn't exist 20 years ago and that's very bad!".

I'd argue there actually much more diverse content to consume in Netflix with a large portion being 'educational' and 'informative'
An atom is about 0.2nm?
Thanks for clairfying.
From a sheer infection control standpoint it makes a sense to vaccinate hypermobile social superspreader nodes first. Anyone who comes into contact with lots of people is going to be responsible for more onward infection chains than a reclusive grandma. The butterflies among the young are probably key drivers of spread. Take them out of the susceptibility picture and everyone benefits.
"Look, if that’s what the Europeans want to do, they should go for it. But part of what makes America special is a certain harshness—first embodied in the Puritans and their quest to settle America’s unforgiving wilderness. Great achievements, new ideas, ingenious inventions emerge from a culture that prizes travail and perseverance, not one that prioritizes comfort and ephemeral satisfaction."

Oh. My. Fucking. God.
We recently started a routine in our house where at 7pm we turn off the TV. My wife is going through a master's program and studies. My son, like many others right now, is doing distance learning high school so he needs a bit more time to study, which is what prompted this.

I had many months of 60 hours work weeks earlier this year so I've just been binging sci-fi on my Kindle and it's been great. I've enjoyed it much more than Netflix.

I don't blame anyone for binging TV. We don't all need to spend our nights writing a novel or the next great app.

When our family was younger we spent a year or so very proud of the fact that we NEVER watched TV. Then I heard a quote "when you watch TV your brain activity level is lower than when you are sleeping." I thought that sounded wonderful and immediately went out and purchased a TV.
While provocative, this is the inconvenient truth that most of us have certainly accepted. I myself drink milk and eat meat while acknowledging the obvious moral superiority of veganism. It's even hard to argue against veganism without sounding rather selfish or even psychopathic, as your argument, sooner or later, is going to boil down to "but I like it". So it's amazing how hard it is to change this habit.

The path of least resistance and most convenience and least personal sacrifice is hard to leave despite living in violation of my own ethical standards.

There's also something weird about our relationship with animals and food. We use ethical justifications (or avoid them) that we don't use anywhere else. Our eating habits are deep cultural traditions that don't budge in the face of even the most agreeable arguments to change them.

"But it just feels too good to give up! XD" or "But if I stop, everyone else is still going to do it, so why stop!" aren't arguments we'd level at the carnal pleasures of rape, but when it comes to meat, they make everyone's head nod in agreement.
Does anyone know any details about the actual types of 3D stacking and other techniques that are going into this "3nm"?

Definitely, but it’s the difference between losing $100 million or $99 million. They’ve already sustained the loss, the only thing to do now is try and offset it.
This. They produce medium to low quality stuff en masse. Also them notoriously pulling the plug on their shows completely disincentives investing time in it (I typically wait till season 3-4).

The mitigation is more of an annoyance to many people since they have to sit and wait for 5 seconds for CF to do their checking before proceeding to the main website. Their DDOS protection sometime got me stuck in their DDOS protection screen, it looped infinity. Sometime no-cache reload will not work. It just their protection can be a fickle.

I probably watch 1-2 shows over the course of the year on netflix, with an occasional film here and there if I'm interested. And all of them together with my partner, who watches many more shows and films than me.
Qualcomm Details The Snapdragon 888: 3rd Gen 5G and Cortex-X1 on 5nm
I quite enjoy Netflix. I use it for occasional white noise when I am working. I enjoy their content, and wish there was more of it.

It's okay to consume media in moderation. Netflix, flying a kite, fishing, game night with friends, and so on. If that is all one does, it interferes with Maslow's other needs.

I don't see a need to go to battle against Netflix, however, but perhaps teaching discipline and moderation in schools would be beneficial to society as a whole.

Sam Harris had a recent podcast episode on this topic. The discussant brought up the interesting point that cost of binging has decreased. Economics 101 would suggest that if we were rational and preferred more show consumption that we will consume more. A handy heuristic. So, if you personally find your consumption is too high relative to your production, their suggestion was to increase the costs to consume.
If someone makes inferences on the de-identified data, or joins it against another dataset. The source dataset lets those inferences or joins be tied back to the original identifying data.

The main point is that de-identified data can still be "personal" so it's regulated. If you share or make public psuedonymous data, that data is still covered by GDPR so you have to inform the individuals, have a legal basis (such as consent), let them opt out (if applicable), etc. Even if it's been pseudonymized, I would want to know if/when my data is sold to a marketing firm or whatever.
Start off by writing. Take it as your own personal space on the net and just start somewhere. I've started just this year as well. And decided to write about my learning regards to writing.

Binge watching is great... I can watch a series in a week or two, and be done with it... compare that to having to be at home, every tuesday at 9pm, or setting the awkward vcr controlls, hoping the timer setting will actually start recording at the right time, and then watching at some other time... Then waiting for 3, 4 months for the next season, forgetting what happened in the last, etc.
Yeah if the masses want opium we should give it to them at cost /s
Speaking for myself, i don't find this personally convincing.

I am notorious for watching the pilot for a show and deciding "that was great! i've had enough!" and never finishing it.

I believe the last episodic show i've genuinely finished was Avatar: The Last Airbender -- and even then, i haven't seen any of Korra and have no desire to.
