As others have already written: when I read "Deluxe Paint", I automatically assumed that the artwork was done on an Amiga, because when you think Deluxe Paint, you think Amiga (I wasn't even aware that there was a PC version until now, or maybe I learned it at some point in the past and then forgot it again). And with that assumption, having no limitations on filenames or extensions actually made perfect sense.

And BTW, that ".lbm" extension should actually be ".ilbm" (interleaved bitmap), same as ".jpg" should actually be ".jpeg". The MS-DOS limitations live on long after MS-DOS is no more...
More than that; the entire point of the $1,200 was to get people money quickly to buy time to work out a longer term solution (some of the proposed longer term solutions happened to involve some form of ongoing stimulus checks modeled after the initial one).

Yes. It’s as if sending out hundreds of millions of checks during an unprecedented economic crisis might be somewhat of a challenge for the people who have to make it happen on an instantaneously urgent basis...

Currently in the Texas grid interconnection queue, there are more GW of lithium ion storage than there are of new gas generation (figure labeled Exhibit 2):

https://rmi.org/clean-energy-is-canceling-gas-plants/

Lithium ion is currently king here, it's easy and fast to deploy, with lots of off the shelf components, and cheap.

Texas' grid composition responds really quickly to economic changes, because anybody can connect and start making money. More highly regulated grids have been much slower to adapt to the new reality of cheap storage.

>> Batteries are mostly recyclable currently, full stop

SOME lithium batteries are recyclable, but ALL oldschool lead acid batteries are recyclable. For installations where weight/size are secondary concerns, old fashioned wet car batteries are more "green" than anything involving lithium.

A used lead-acid battery is not a liability. It is a useful and profitable product that can be easily turned into other useful products... today.

For certain meanings of making sense, it's perfectly sufficient if either a number of airline managers or a number of airline customers simply don't understand that possible limitation of a vaccine's effect. And both are very likely. And it can make sense even beyond that, because a vaccine that doesn't completely rule out infectivity can still be reasonably expected to weaken and/or shorten infectivity.

I would imagine that he is not assessing this advancement merely using his own personal expertise, but rather the combined expertise of the resources he represents.

Taking home exams or assignments are great, but they need to be assessed as well. Here too, the number of students is a limiting factor. With too many students, the best a teacher can do is summative assessment and generate a reasonable grade for the student. Personally, I think formative assessment is far superior to summative assessment, but formative assessment takes a lot of effort from the teacher. Often more than is allotted to her for assessement (or the whole course!).

I was thinking more about a larger project or paper with quite a lot of freedom for the students that would take the teacher hours to get familiar with and give constructive formative feedback on. As part of that, an oral section to discuss the project and paper with the student would be great as well. In assessment, I would like the teacher and student to be partners rather than opponents.

If a student understands the material, together they should be able to have a conversation where the student can reflect on her understanding and learning to the extent where the teacher can determine that the student has passed the course. Of course, if there is an intense interaction between the student and teacher throughout the course, the whole idea of a final assessment becomes pretty meaningless.

I know, my ideas are a bit far-fetched and there are a lot of practicalities that are difficult to work out. But one can dream!
Quite right. And the Nobel laureate in question is a structural biologist--so his expertise is directly relevant.
When a battery deemed too inefficient for an EV then you can use it for static storage. Then you can recycle them when they are no good for that. BMW do this. https://insideevs.com/news/436066/bmw-group-ev-battery-recyc...
Yep, this exact point is addressed in the article as well

>"It's awful when we hear of millions of dollars going into the wrong hands," he added, "but it was probably within a somewhat acceptable threshold of error or margin of error" because Congress opted for speed over accuracy when it flooded the U.S. economy with money last spring

I also remember at that time hearing talking heads saying things to the effect of "we are getting money out to everyone now, we'll worry about collecting it back from people who aren't eligible later."

IIRC some federal government money can be withheld if you owe the IRS and most of these recepients seem to be collecting social security so it seems just docking future SS payments to collect back the $1,200 might be the best solution. Even if it can't be collected that way with existing laws, Congress can always pass a law allowing it. Though many checks might not be cashed in the first place if the recipient didn't have an American bank account.
If someone's family comes from a non-English-speaking country, then often that person will temporarily develop a thick accent whenever they get a call from home. The accent then persists for a few minutes. They don't even realize they're doing it.

Indeed I think it's a natural thing everyone does, to some extent, to try to fit in.

However, some people naturally mirror other people more than others. I have a pet theory that the tendency to synchronize gait with whoever you're walking with, the tendency to mirror accents, and other forms of subconscious "fitting in" are all correlated.
You don't say? Then why are so many people here criticizing those who want to delay 4 years before testing this vaccine on themselves and on their family?
you give pharma too much credit. I had built a previous system to do something similar to this that produced excellent results and tried to give it away for free to Genentech, which ignored me. They said it didn't work for their purchasing department.

I don't know anyone using lead acid for new stationary storage or electrified transportation applications, although you are correct that lead acid are entirely recyclable.
I choose therefore I am – SpaceHey, a blast from the past
The second company described in the article claims to recycle using nothing but catalysts, and simply grinds up the used batteries in a giant vat before transportation (rendering them inert, and easier to safely move).

It sounds like their main problem at this point is continuing to scale the business to meet supply (they are already the largest lithium recycler in the US), and that the challenges there are logical, not the underlying technology.

What human labor and chemicals are you referring to?
"AlphaFold achieves a median score of 87.0 GDT". Game changing, and a huge improvement, but not 100% solved. Also this is for static folding. Dynamic folding and interaction is a much harder problem. Those need to be tackled too before I would consider protein folding 'solved'.
So long as you got your SSN (which I hear are printed much faster than green cards) you should have gotten it. Thankfully public charge rule is on the way out, and I wish you a smooth journey to citizenship without that policy looming much longer :D
170k is "a few" compared to 180 million (i.e. the size of the PDB as soon as someone runs AlphaFold over everything in the UniProt.)

> In most cases the proteins were determined to be interesting by other experiments, and then people decided to try and solve their structure.

Yes, that's what we're doing right now, because structure is not a useful predictor, because we don't have structure available in advance of studies on the protein itself. There was no point to a "functional taxonomy" of proteins, because we were never trying to predict with protein-structure as the only data available.

In a world where protein structure is "on tap" in a data warehouse, part of the game of bioinformatics will become "structural analysis" of classes of known-function proteins, to find functional sub-units that do similar things among all studied proteins, allowing searches to be conducted for other proteins that express similar functional sub-units.

You didn't do much to dispell the idea that this is an American thing.

Maybe salted caramel pralines. But sour and sweet is a common flavour trope in much of the world. e.g. lemon + sugar e.g. in cannoli; tamarind and cane sugar in SE Asia and Mexican recipes; Chinotto.
Every simulator is going to have error. In this case this biennial challenge represents the computational state of the art with scores of 30-40 over the last decade. The AlphaFold2 model sends that score up to 87 with errors about than the width of the atom. You can actually see the difference between their prediction and the actual result and it’s stunning. This is all on the blog site so I recommend reading before throwing shade.
Overall, it's been fantastic. Six years ago or so I was really into playing with all of the ways you can customize Android, but more recently (I switched 2 years ago), I realized I just wanted a phone that would work. And for the most part, that's what I got: a phone that does phone stuff, and does it well (and still does it, 2 years later, just as well as the day I bought it). And does so with the most privacy that you can reasonably find these days without giving up those basic features of modern life or constantly fighting and fiddling with your device.

My main complaints:

1) The notifications UX is not as good. It gets the job done, but it just feels overall clunkier and worse. There's also a bizarre separation between your lock-screen and the "Notification Center" pull-down. I almost never use the latter, but whenever I open it there's always a random notification from like a week earlier that had been dismissed from my lock screen but was still hanging around there. This doesn't really matter in practice but it's very weird.

2) It sounds like a tiny thing, but the Clock app is not as good. It lacks a couple of really nice little features like early-dismissal of alarms and a confirmation whenever you turn one on ("Alarm set for 8h 23m from now").

But really that's about it. Apple Maps works great (at least in the urban area where I live), despite the memes. Customer support is great. The granular app permissions are extra great. And mainly, it's just nice to know that you can be a full participant in modern society, and you can expect your device to simply work, without also having your every step tracked. Knowing you won't buy a pair of headphones only to find out you can't use them because they require an app, which requires Google Services, which you don't have (this actually happened to me).

Edit: I should point out that I wasn't using microG, so I don't know how much that changes the experience. YMMV.
'friendly to owners/unfriendly to employees' is pretty much the main trade off dimension in the whole topic.

All that follows seems trivial after we acknowledge that interests of employers and employees don't align, but for the sake of clarity: it creates a 'reward' scenario for employee that isn't a 'reward' scenario for employer (further, compared to vesting taking place at all). Buying party loses asset in a form of trained employee motivated to increase company value, which lowers the value of acquisition. Nobody wants to lose money.
Headline is "no one in the trial developed severe symptom" - i am not sure how your computation proves this wrong.
No one is arguing that lack of sleep isn't detrimental. Everyone knows this from personal experience. But fear-mongering about long term effects is unsupported unless you're talking about clinically rare levels of chronic sleep deprivation. There are some studies that show increased cancer risk for moderately reduced sleep, and some that show no increased risk. Likewise with neurodegenerative diseases and other issues. The anxiety created by these weak studies might be worse than the effects of losing sleep that an overwhelming majority of people reading about them will experience.
Kind of fun, although to me there seems to be a bit too much guesswork as to what you're actually supposed to do. For example the puzzle for day 8 (and especially day 9) doesn't really tell me anything about what I'm actually supposed to achieve, and clicking "learn" to find it out actually gives the solution outright.
This is another traditional view but I find it hard to believe the truth of it because of the strong bias (and personal experience): happy people do not generally know they are happy, unhappy people think that doing a different thing is sufficient for happiness.

Personally, I have found fulfillment from menial labour only when I have found no fulfillment from knowledge work. Achievement at the latter beats out the former by a large multiple, and doing the former when I have access to the latter feels me leaving like I've wasted time.
> About food regulations; if a product uses dangerous chemicals (for example), in a proper free market, that should give alternative products a competitive advantage.

Incredible. Do you really believe it's possible to make a safe food market without regulations?

> Regulations exist to prevent abuse. If companies couldn't get away with abusing their customers (without going bankrupt), we wouldn't need regulations in the first place.

What on Earth will make a company selling, fake protein, which is actually poisonous melamine, to go out of business? They got paid before anyone ate the poisoned food, and really, there are no regulations, so what are you suing them for? What did they do wrong?

Must you trust a large, well marketed brand name or else worry about fly-by-night manufacturers making a quick buck on adultered goods and then dissapearing? Are trademark regulations still enforced in this "no regulations" world or if the counterfeit is close enough that you can't tell the difference then caveat emptor?

Every libertarian secretly _loves_ regulations, as long as they get to choose which. "Enforce property rights because I have property" or "Enforce nothing because I already have guns and that makes me the enforcer".

It's not a coherant ideology.
My main objection to Vivek (the Nobel Prize winner) is the prize in that case should have gone to my advisor, Harry Noller. John Moult... he's a nice guy but I think he's being a bit breathless here.
If you take a Beta(1,1) distribution as your prior, then the control group's risk-of-severe-covid-given-symptoms posterior is Beta(31,156), and the experimental group's conditional risk posterior is Beta(1,12).

Drawing 100,000 samples from these distributions (`betarnd` function in matlab) gives an 87.8% sampled likelihood that the intervention reduces the conditional risk (intervention(i) < control(i)), and a 64% sampled likelihood that it reduces the risk by at least half (intervention(i) < control(i) / 2).

This is suggestive (but not yet "clearly convincing") evidence that the vaccine reduces the risk of severe covid conditional on being infected in the first place, and that comes on top of the obviously compelling evidence that the vaccine reduces the baseline risk of infection.

This conclusion makes intuitive sense since the vaccine is intended to produce an immune response. A patient who has a moderate response to the vaccine itself may not neutralize the infection before developing symptoms but would still have a primed immune system to control the disease before it becomes severe. (That is: the response to the vaccine intuitively falls on a range, rather than being "all or nothing").

NP-hard doesn’t say how hard it is to solve finite problems. Even for n = 1,000,000, O(e^n) isn’t necessarily problematic, if the constant is small enough, or if you throw enough hardware at it.

This “uses approximately 128 TPUv3 cores (roughly equivalent to ~100-200 GPUs) run over a few weeks”. That is a moderate amount of hardware for this kind of work, so it seems they have a more efficient algorithm.

Also, this algorithm doesn’t solve protein folding in the mathematical sense; it ‘just’ produces good approximations.
It’s made clearer in the text, but the conflation of “citizen” and “resident” here is a common irritant that makes it really difficult to understand just what non-citizens are entitled to.

The issue here isn’t that they were sent to non-citizens (I am not a citizen and received a stimulus I’m fully entitled to) but that they were sent to non-citizen non-residents. I wouldn’t be surprised if this persistent mistake contributes to animosity towards immigrants.
Based on the going rate of a 32-core TPUv3 slice ($32/hr USD) running "for a few weeks", isn't this closer to $65k USD?
>overly emotional/rage-y

Really? I can't read it as anything but tongue-in-cheek.

I default to the idea everything is potentially-insincere, especially online. Do you not?
Right, I agree. If we followed the logic to the root cause here, we'd get to the problem. It doesn't matter how much Apple limiting supply in their app store. Stores have the ability to limit what inventory they shelve.

However, this is only an issue because there is only one app store allowed on the iPhone that is controlled by Apple.

That's the rule-based point of contention that won't cause collateral damage to other retailers who don't have a similar singular point of control.
