Not the OP, but - if I'm reading this right, the mRNA vaccine contains the code for one specific (or a small subset of) viral protein, which is what the immune system is induced to target. In a traditional vaccine, the immune system is exposed to the entire viral protein coat, and therefore may learn to target multiple different proteins from the same virus, not just the spike protein. I suspect OP's suggestion is that it's possible providing the entire virus may provide additional or more robust immunities against the same virus that we don't get from the more targetted mRNA vaccine.

I'd be getting very outside my lane to speculate on whether inducing immunity against multiple proteins would potentially apply to other viruses also carrying those same proteins - I don't know how specific or how contextual the immune system's response is in this case.

Accuweather is a bitter and aggressive private competitor of the NWS and their comments should be framed as such.
These types of naïve worldviews usually tend to come from a position of privilege. While we might all be running the same race - some of us are lucky enough to be equipped with Nike racing shoes, but there are a lot of people born with flip flops. Attitude is not nearly enough.

This is also why the expression “you can do anything you set your mind to” is a naive saccharine pile of oliphaunt excrement. Frankly, this overwrought phrase sounds like something an early 20th-century Gilded Age industrialist would have coined as a means of motivating the common man to toil even harder in a world extolling unbridled capitalism as its loftiest ideal.

Thanks for the links. These articles do indeed answer a lot of my questions.
This came up for me a few years ago when I was filling out a job application. At the voluntary self disclosure stage it listed epilepsy among the list and it stopped me in my tracks. A few brain surgeries later and I'm no longer epileptic, but it did make me ask this exact question.

For several years, my onset with in 2012 at age 36, I considered it more of a bummer and inconvenience and never thought about it any other way.

Personally I was fortunate that I was only having partial complex seizures which meant that I'd basically space out and stare into the distance completely unattached from my environment for 30 seconds to a few minutes according to my ex-girlfriend and other people I interacted with regularly.

Rarely did I have any indication that I'd had a seizure aside from the occasional, unexpected incontinence. One instance that sticks out was walking back from lunch with co-workers when one walked up to me and said "did you lose something". I dropped my sandwich while I was having a seizure and was walking all the while.

What allowed me to say "yeah... this is a legit disability" was examining how much had changed in my life without the ability to drive. Luckily I'd just basically moved in with said girlfriend who lived 10 minutes by bus from my job downtown, this was well before I worked from home and there's little chance I could have gotten to work from my rural home an hour away with essentially no transit.

I was really living a normal day to day life, I just had to make some adaptations to how I got around and had to stop using power tools without dead man switches.

Slightly hyperbolic maybe, but I can make a good case for how epilepsy cost me that house, relationship and severely impinged upon my job search.

Hindsight... it's a hell of thing. I don't know that I'd have felt any different being labeled or self-identifying as disabled but it goes a long way to describing the impact it had on my 30s. I'm also a guy that occasionally drove 50k miles in a year to travel for shows and work and various other road trips.

> But there are probably thousands of things that cost only peanuts and aren't a priority.

There are many other items that similarly need fixing (across all federal agencies). Each may not cost a lot individually.

> If you fix them all they add up to not peanuts

But if they were all fixed (applying a universal standard), the total cost would end up being a lot (spending a lot is bad, regardless of how much has been fixed)

> *and then you don't have any money left and you didn't even fix any priority tasks!

The total budget should not be increased, so a policy of fixing small things would take away significant spending from other things that are more important.

My 10,000' view understanding:

- Small feature size. M1 is a 5nm process. Intel is struggling to catch up to TSMC's 7nm process

- more efficient transistors. 7nm uses finFet. M1 probably uses GAAFET, which means you can cram more active gate volume in less chip footprint. This means less heat and more speed

- layout. M1 is optimized for Apple's use case. General purpose chips do more things, so they need more real estate

- specialization. M1 offloads oodles of compute to hardware accelerators. No idea how their code interfaces with it, but I know lots of the demos involve easy-to-accellerate tasks like codecs and neural networks

- M1 has tons of cache, IIRC, something like 3x the typical amount

- some fancy stuff that allows them to really optimize the reorder buffer, decoder, and branch prediction, which also leverages all that cache

I've found that paying people to provide you with good food saves tonnes of time: shopping, prepping, cooking, cleaning, garbage. Hotel buffet breakfasts or similar are a good solution. This is by far the most time efficient daily hack. Also good are floor cleaning robots. Not owning a car is great too, if you add up all the time doing parking/registration/license/insurance/whatever. Software... well, mostly just avoid closed source stuff where oodles of invested time winds up wasted when they arbitrarily mothball the product, close the cloud or deeply alter the interface without consultation. Keep documentation with code. Keep all code in a revision control system. Oh, and write less code. The less code you have to maintain, the better.
Generally you want to negotiate compensation as part of accepting the new promotion/title. Not as part of the normal review process.

If they won't budge on compensation, accept the title and add it to your resume. Start looking for better offers. If you find a better offer, then they were wrong about market rates.

Hot take: Lisp (including Clojure) is for shitty programmers.

Great programmers can be great in any language, including C, COBOL, or BANCStar. Their brainpower alone can compensate for the language's lack of abstractive power.

Lisp is a mind prosthesis for the programmer; it extends the programmer's reach. Unless you are working in a complicated, abstruse line of work, you stand most to benefit from this if you are bad at programming.

Hence, the most clamorous Lisp zealots tend to be terrible programmers in their own right. The "wise" programmers jeep plugging along in Java, because it's well-supported by a bigcorp and has a HUGE candidate pool when you need to hire developers who work in it.

Google has dropped the ball on search results quality. Google no longer has their users' best interests at heart when it comes to ranking search results.

Users want relevant content. Content is the key word. Ads, pay/login walls and other "engagement" crap is not what users want.

Google absolutely could rank websites based on these factors and downrank websites with ads, etc. However, this would be at odds with their own business model, as unless they want to risk opening themselves up to antitrust actions they'd have to treat all ads equally, which means also downranking websites with Google ads and hurting their own bottom line.

Apple doesn't have this problem, and has the advantage of a "cult following" which means they'll get lots of users even if the product isn't that good (yet?) just like with Apple Maps, which in turn would encourage websites to comply with Apple's rules if they want to rank high and not miss out on those users.
> Have you ever been too invested in some problem, or too upset by something, to see the truth of the situation? And when you ask someone else, who is not emotionally invested, they easily point out the way forward? That is the kind of phenomenon I am talking about.

Yes I have. Unfortunately, I am not aware of a reliable test to identify whether a person is capable of rational thought on a given subject. This means that when we witness a dispute between people about an issue, we are unable to reliably and provably evaluate the disputants meta-level reasoning. This is complicated by the fact that evaluating someone's reasoning on the meta level is nearly always complicated by object-level concerns, including our own cognitive biases.

> Most humans have the capability to objectively assess ideas in general, but when someone has a strong emotional attachment to a specific idea—such as partisans who are predisposed to believe voter fraud misinformation—they are not going to be capable of evaluating that specific idea as well as someone who isn’t predisposed to believe it.

Thats why its so harmful to put people in a position of being an information gatekeeper. You have no way of ensuring that your information is being filtered by a person who is emotionally detached. In fact, due to the potential for influencing other people, those positions are much more likely to be occupied by partisans who will then use it to advance their own perspective, often without even realizing it.

> In this case, YouTube moderators are almost certainly going to be more capable of objectively evaluating whether or not a video is proof of widescale voter fraud than a poster who is strongly motivated to lie (intentionally or not)

This is exactly the problem. There is no reason to suppose that a youtube moderator is non-partisan, a high rung thinker, or emotionally detached from the subject they are evaluating.

> And in that way, there are some people who are more capable of evaluating the objective truth than others.

Yes but there is not a reliable, objective way to identify them or to check their reasoning process for errors.

> Yes. Exactly. I’m confused how we are arriving at such different conclusions from the same basic understanding. I hope that this added explanation helps.

I feel exactly the same way. I'm at a loss to explain this except that either we have some different premises that have not been revealed in this discussion so far, or perhaps Aumann's agreement theorem [0] is not applicable to this issue for some reason.

In short, yes. An ideal image source incident on a positive optical lens produces its spatial Fourier transform at the lense's focal point. This is easiest to see with a lasersl backlighting a transparency, since the light is collimated and monochromatic. The transparency produces diffraction at its edges, which causes the effect. Actually, you'd also see the spatial Fourier transform at infinity if you took away the lens.
The result of this is that you can do cool spatial frequency filtering effects at the focal point, then convert it back into an image with another lens. Laser systems that require high precision will use such a setup to remove high-frequency components and pass just the collimated light.
Another big difference is cost. Pfizer's looks like it is going to be $20 per dose in the US. Moderna's is going to be $15 per dose in the US and more after the initial 100 million dose deal with the government is over. Moderna has said they expect it to be $32-37 retail.

The leading conventional vaccine, the one from AstrZeneca, will be under $4 per dose in the US for the 300 million doses they have agreed to supply to the government, and they have said that they will "in perpetuity" supply it at cost to low and middle income countries.

That will probably make it or another conventional vaccine be the one that makes the biggest difference globally for this pandemic.

The greater simplicity of ARMv8 and its fixed sized instructions definitely helps, but also Intel runs their cores at nearly 2x higher frequency, which means a lot less logic can be squeezed into a clock cycle. That makes it much harder to to make a wider processor.

Sounds like you're living to make money rather than making money to live, which is a pretty perverse attitude IMO.

Your time is worth what you will pay for it as well as what other people will pay for it. Hiring house cleaners or dining out lets me buy time more cheaply than buying it by sacrificing salary (because I would have to take a more than 20% pay cut to get a 4-day week).

It seems YC encourages growth at all costs. AirBnb constantly broke city laws, they have outrageous cleaning fees, you pay 1.5x the price with fees. DoorDash stole tips from their drivers.

However YC turns a blind eye and praises them for their growth.

Recent DoorDash and Airbnb posts have quite a bit of survivor bias in them.
> It sounds like you just want a fancy new app

First I suggested these companies should be paying for API access. Alternatively, one app per device is multiple apps. It’s not about making weather.gov outcompete private companies, it’s about getting value for taxpayer money. People shouldn’t be watching adds or paying for apps that simply show them data they already paid for.

Hell their API’s are providing a longer forecast than the actual website. That’s silly.
Might this cause issues with the hatchlings?

I've bred quail, and generally with them at least, you have to let them do all the pecking to get out of the egg. This strengthens their neck and spine so they can stand properly once they get out. Otherwise there's a risk they'll compensate by splaying their legs, which becomes a permanent disability if you don't give them splints in time.

Chickens are sturdier overall, so it's possible it doesn't matter for them. Curious, though.
