Mentioned in the article, AstraZeneca is already covered under PREPA in the US

PREPA removes the right to a jury trial for persons injured by a covered vaccine, unless a plaintiff can provide clear evidence of willful misconduct that resulted in death or serious physical injury. The act instructs the HHS secretary to write regulations "that further restrict the scope of actions or omissions by a covered person" that constitute willful misconduct.

Curious what comes first: actual spying to find out whom to fire vs. finding all information on an employee who is on the firing list? I think it is the later. And collecting information (through IT) gets them to all the browsing information on the phone.

Another aspect is getting caught in an IT system triggered alert. Typically being non-compliant with company sensitive information.

This is not only at Google, but most big companies. Hence I am curious.

I think it is reasonable for one of the founders and most highly respected members of the field to make confident claims about something that is as open and shut as this. The paper in question was training a network to upres faces. The researchers trained it on a dataset containing primarily White faces and released it on GitHub for reproducibility. Subsequent people used it on Black faces and found it make them white.

This is not surprising. Black faces and White faces are not the same data manifold. This is like training a network to upsample oranges, then running it on an apple and being surprised when the result is an unusual color and texture for an apple.

I’m not sure what else there is possibly wrong here. Is the width of their convolutions racist? Their choice to work on super resolution? The fact that they released their work for reproducibility?

I honestly think that is a massive privacy issue. Letting the web browser have any access those API is practically begging for abuse. There are enough privacy and tracking issues already with what they have access to without those being added on. The negative far outweighs any positive you have mentioned.

Should there be better faster options for applications to run? Absolutely. Should they run in the web browser? I don't think so.

Land area used for renewables always sounds like a lot, but it's not that much if you compare it to agriculture. For example, in Germany we use 2.4 million hectares for "energy crops". Just replacing those monocultures with solar panels would cover most of Germany's energy demand and leave some room for biodiversity under the panels.

How could they not be toxic? The ability to advocate for yourself has been given to someone else, over something as intimately personal and important as the labour you undertake for the majority of your waking hours. They are your only advocate, in the absence of strong regulation and legislation, because in a union arrangement it is inappropriate for the employer to advocate for the employee against the union.

I don't need to outcompete on donations; I need to collectively pool my cash with other like-minded individuals in order to pay for political activity that will coerce and convince legislators. Those with the most money don't necessarily win, but money is the key to gaining access. I've had my representative read to Parliament an exerpt of a letter that I wrote; there was nary a need for money to get that response, only access.

My employers have never been interested in what I do with my money, and I suspect they would be _far_ more interested if I were to begin organizing a union.

The solution to employee abuse is legislation and regulation, not yet another layer of political bureaucracy.

No, I'm fine with it. But there are entire states run by dinks who HATE IT, and yet they take it, cursing me and people like me all the while.

I honestly think that in principle it would be easy.

Maybe Apple could use their walled garden to tax developers based on the amount of resources their app uses. You need $100 to put your App in the store; you need to pay $1000 to use more than 10% of CPU performance; you need to pay $10000 to have an app bundle more than 10MB; and so on -- charging ridiculous amounts for access to high-performance battery-draining features. For dealing with app developers with deep pockets like Google -- you could charge the developer something egregious like $10 per install. At some point the screws are tight enough that you just build your app to behave better.

It would be absolutely dastardly -- but could actually have the effect of forcing app developers to care about performance :) They won't care unless they have to. Web developers have to care about performance because of SEO (and click metrics...) but it only goes so far because it's not forced.

I disagree completely with the walled garden model of iOS (and the direction of macOS) but, if it nonetheless exists, I'd like to see them do something hardcore like this. The performance and battery gains would be out of this world.

“As a journalist, he knew the value of concise speech. Every word counted, as each one had to be paid for when telegraphed to the news desk. Every decorative, non-informative adjective should be axed.” If you want proof, read newspaper columns from before the advent of the telegraph, and from just after. Before, the writing was expansive, a bit rambling, almost poetic. After, they are barely longer than a tweet in some cases. There are online examples of these, but the real paper copies cost less (per unit in quantity) than an expensive coffee drink.
IMO, AlphaFold 2 is a great example of industrial research labs making huge breakthroughs. I'm not sure if AlphaFold 2 is over hyped or not (because I don't know anything about protein folding), but given how a lot of computational biologists reacted to the results (the co-founder of CASP seems very impressed :')), I suppose this a big deal. I hope DeepMind becomes the Bell Labs for AI. Bell Labs is the best example of industrial research labs making huge strides. Of course, AI doesn't exist yet, and deep "learning" is nothing but curve-fitting done in fancy ways, but I would not be surprised if DeepMind results in a few Turing and Nobel laureates.
Judges don't appreciate clever tricks of any kind, and neither does the law. Anything you think of that sounds like a clever trick is not something you should actually try.
Following that same logic, if the goal is to preserve every viable embryo, then it makes sense that some groups would advocate preserving them.

I wouldn't be surprised if the same group was also against IVF because of their moral aversion to discarding embryos.
Haha sometimes I miss the time when we can just build product , put it online, and people just come and if they find the value, buy the product. :)

I am on indie hackers too by the way, but it seems I see that posts in Indiehacker kind of filled with marketings? I still try to look on the positive side though

And yeah, it’s an Idea for me actually. I am the type that cannot really work on a product for too long. I would try ti ship fast enough and see if the product sell, and based on that decide to iterate/improve/market more, and so on.

But that is also a problem if i dont have much people following. Almost no exposure to garner feedback, etc
> It is normal that doing more takes more resources. Modern raytracers require more processing power because they generate better images. Likewise, compilers of 2020 have awesome static code analyzer which they did not have in 2009.

> But doing the same thing should never become slower. Starting up an application should never take longer than it used to. If a feature is going to cost start-up time, I would rather not have it.

No feature, no matter how great, could ever justify a slowdown to start-up time? That seems like an absurd position to take. Also, if you read the link to the “law” about software taking up more compute resources over time, you’ll find that the origin is Intel’s Andy Grove complaining that Microsoft wasn’t taking advantage of newer, more powerful chips.

Also the title is just kind of rude and dismissive to software engineers - it’s not true that noone at all cares about performance.

HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are both very useful even without server push. HTTP/2 fixed the issues of HTTP pipelining and made it so multiple requests could share one connection without issues like head-of-line blocking, and HTTP/3 improves things further so that a missed packet in one request doesn't slow down simultaneous requests. Server push was never a critical feature of them. The measured improvements from 2 and 3 were almost always without server push.
So by that logic, the airport Travelex that charges "no commission" but a 20% spread between the bid and the ask is also not charging transaction fees? I suspect cribbing from Travelex and calling it "no commission" is likely both more accurate, and probably more legal, but IANAL.

So I'm a bit confused with how this is measuring the number of NANDs; for example, with the first adder problem, I solved it with exactly two gates, neither of which were NAND, and yet while it's recognized as the lowest number of gates, it insists that it can be done with fewer NANDs (than zero, apparently). Is it counting the NANDs that may or may not be used to implement those two gates? And if so, is that based on how I solved the previous problems? Or is it based on the lowest possible number of NANDs that would be required to solve those problems / produce those gates?

If it is indeed counting the NANDs used to make the gates I actually used, it'd be useful to have a clear indication of exactly how many NANDs each gate uses so I can chase after a game of NAND Golf.

In any case, this is fun :)

> What right does Apple have to make hundreds of billions dollars and to continually abuse their wealth for more power?

The same right that literally every other private entity has to use their existing wealth and power to gain more?

> This isn't a draconian government takeover.

Oh, for all intents and purposes it absolutely is - you are giving the government enough power to corral and coerce corporations into doing their bidding. See the ridiculously unethical actions the Trump administration is taking against TikTok after they ruined his Tulsa rally, for example.

> Companies have no allegiance to the people and must be checked.

And governments do? Governments abuse their power to the maximum extent legally possible all the time. Often, they go further. A cursory reading of United States history will show you that the government is not your friend, it never was, and at every moment possible it is also vying for more power, more control, more surveillance.

As long as Apple has not turned into a monopoly there isn’t really a concern here. There is an available market for the products you want. Just because they are not as capable as the ones Apple makes, does not mean you get to coerce Apple into doing your bidding.

You can open multiple tcp connections in parallel to virtually eliminate the head of line blocking problem for the vast majority of experiences.

The problem has been exaggerated for the sake of justifying http2/3 but in practical terms it barely affects the average user experience. 80% optimal was good enough.

Issue #36: Why It’s So Hard to Make the Bear Case for Stripe

If companies like Apple didn't try to make things as incompatible as possible, maybe software engineers wouldn't have to keep adding new layers of abstraction and things would run a bit faster. There's basically a never ending war between platform developers trying to create lock-in and app developers trying to escape with new cross-platform technologies.

The author says that he switched to Chrome and never looked back because when it came out, it booted up in under a second.

> Firefox developers famously attempted to fix the five second startup time in 2010 via bug #627591[6]. They fixed many issues but not enough to warrant a second try.

It would be a great point if Chrome still started up in under one second. In one data point, there isn't much difference. Plus I typically (re)launch the browser less than once per day. The time difference on start up isn't the deciding issue for me.
With the modern cloud computing paradigm, it's a lot easier to produce code and let it scale horizontally than to write optimised code, thus speeding up the delivery cycle.

Absolutely. Conservative objections to many of these programs are almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy--they fail precisely because as a society Americans don't value education.

That culture values immediacy, not only in pleasure but far more consequentially in the fruits of labor.

This sounds very similar to what Design Thinking suggests. Connect with your (potential) customers to get their habits and preferences so you've more ideas and then prototype them through mockups or small models and once you've the feedback from the customers, decide to either go ahead with the version 2, pivot it, or shelf it.

Design thinking talks about being empathetic to your users/customers. Which also sounds like the essence of this post.
