Interesting, I went away to look in to your statement and found this article:

https://fullfact.org/health/which-safer-us-hospital-or-engli...

I think it's hard to compare the two health systems purely on their data as there is a culture of healthcare that it is difficult to factor in.

E.g. how many people don't go to hospital and then die in the US because they cannot afford healthcare? I witnessed this first hand in New York when somebody was knocked out and as I was dialling 911 they woke up and shouted not to call an ambulance because they couldn't afford the cost.

Equally, understand that the NHS does not have the funding that the US healthcare system and that wait times are generally longer.

etc etc...
That was only one step in many many codes - you couldn't just get a job in a launch silo and press boom
I don't quite buy it. If a library gets a update that is not backward-compatible, it does not matter whether you previously called that function as a callback or as direct invocation: your code may break one way or the other.
Unless the new owners are daft, I agree they'll be able to keep creating excellent ice cream. But it's hard for me to imagine it sustainably growing beyond NYC again. So much of the original magic was the interaction of the story with the home community, and people evangelizing the brand. Much of that same community has very conflicted feelings about whether it's truly the same brand. It's a catch-22. The new owners are keeping everything the same, at the risk of being perceived as inauthentic. But if they change everything to be authentic to them, they lose any chance of keeping the brand goodwill.
And this is why I refuse to install any Python CLI and just look for an alternative instead.

Who wants to deal with pyenv or whatever when you can just get a static binary?
But even if you are a unique human whose utility is entirely unrelated to the sum of warm fuzzy feelings they feel, arbitrarily avoiding stuff which makes you happy is an irrational cognitive bias which will often if not even usually (since warm fuzzy feelings evolved from preference for certain types of collaboration improving survival odds) lead to worse material outcomes.

The Depression Correctness Hypothesis experiments, incidentally, said nothing about depressed people's ability to achieve better outcomes; they simply concluded that in experiments where humans were asked to estimate their level of control over the outcome, depressed people were more likely to correctly reason they didn't have [much] control. cf predictions for future utility in studies of cooperative behaviour, reciprocal altruism etc...
Tweaking Covid vaccines to fight variants won’t require big trials, FDA says
I agree but I worry that some of this capacity will go away because it's not profitable enough. I also worry that although the core functionality of, say a water treatment plant, may run on quite old an easily sourced hardware (most likely Siemens PLC:s where I live) some of the monitoring and coordination stuff is dependent on latest gen hardware.
Nature in particular seems vulnerable to the academic equivalent of click-bait articles. I think the top journals within a specific field are more reliable.
> There are many privacy-friendly comment systems as well as a 3rd party anti-spam service like OOPSpam that do not collect user data.

If there were a free fully managed comment system that you could embed onto a site that guaranteed user's privacy, didn't track anything, had billions of comments pumped through it to ensure it's technically adequate and they had multiple years of a good track record for reliability along with a spam filter that blocks 99% of spam hands free I would instantly switch. But I don't think any type of solution like this exists.

Just using OOPSpam alone comes with a $17 / month fee and based on its FAQ it looks like you need to call its API which means it wouldn't work with a static site like Disqus does because OOPSpam requires making an API call from a server with a secret key.
The question is why reddit doesn't do anything about it and amplify this message? Awful lot of people lose so much money because of it, they need to hold reddit accountable as well by creating these situations.
I don't think so, maybe before JS had arrow functions. Now you would usually have an anonymous arrow function as a callback to explicitly state the calling contract. Then inside it apply the original function.
> The point where it all went wrong was the buying restrictions for retail customers that killed the momentum completely.

In my opinion, the point where it all went wrong was when Melvin announced that they had closed their short position and the WSB hivemind decided that they were lying to the public. The conversations after that became increasingly conspiratorial and divorced from reality.
Thanks a lot for the details!
Ah, uh... I know of a former CEO who is currently behind the bars because he was really into cocaine (and other worse stuff I don't want to mention).

Btw my assumption is that if you were to drug-test everyone you'd have to fire way more people than engineering and QA.

How would a type check prevent this?
That's my point though. We should be trying to figure out how to make the physical world more like the internet, imo.
Sort of but not really. I'm an odd case as I had covid in April. I put my name with the NHS anyway in case they still want to try stuff on us survivors.
AI? Much overused buzzword these days. Don't we have metaheuristics (genetic algorithms etc.) which already do exactly what the article states as novel?
Um... are you reading the same post as the rest of us?

He's just trying out something an actual expert has made to see if it works when he tries to do it. So far it hasn't worked, as he admits, but it certainly could. Sure, it's probably with greater cost, higher risk and less effectiveness than the mass produced vaccines I expect (and the author would likely agree). But it's certainly not the case thay a layman can never do what an expert can do, particularly if they are following expert instructions, they just shouldn't expect to do it as reliably or well as an expert (for example, with a bit of reading up you can wire your house and it'll probably be ok, but the expert is far less likely to electrocute himself and has a much lower chance of doing something that will lead to your house burning down).

Are you so offended by someone spending $1000 and a few hours on a hobby that may have some useful results that you must assume bad things about them?
I mean the flavour of the conspiracy and the way it’s playing out. There’s always a certain date where apparently Trump will save the day, or the Squeeze will happen, and yet we continue to pass that ever shifting goalpost. Adherents to the conspiracy seem unfazed and just get sucked deeper into it as they see the event not happening as further evidence of the conspiracy.
Its just a continued fraction generator that looks for fractions equal to constants.
Not an AI, more like search function with optimization.
Nature has published some very questionable papers in AI/ML that are filled with malpractices. Another bogus paper that comes to mind was predicting earthquakes with a deep(read huge) neural network that appears to have information leakage and was fuelled with the hype of DL when a simple logistic regression (i.e. single neuron) could perform just as well [1,2,3].

Absolutely. I'd even argue that the brain cycles spent should be the first and most important metric for one-off tasks.

That's why I recently asked people here about what to use if not shell scripting. I think I'll either use a less confusing scripting language that is almost like bash/zsh -- namely `rc` -- or I'll brush off my OCaml skills.

That need was borne out of my frustration that I routinely spent non-trivial amounts of time on one-off scripts so at one point I got fed up and started looking for alternatives.
They sell a $280 Windows 10 Pro laptop in India that is not slow at all and has an ethernet port/hdmi port etc. I've found it much more useful than my $5k macbook pro 16
And the position is multifaceted. I agree with the curfew but not with the business limitations, or at the very least not in the way they implemented it here trough a legislative decree, since the Italian Constitution is built around the right to work an has no exception for health issues.
The articles don't contradict each other when it comes to cited facts - you can believe both!

I suppose its all in the implications though, which are contradicting as the nature article implies it is a big deal. The nature article doesn't give any examples of interesting conjectures, or examples of interesting consequences if any of the conjectures should be true. They talk a lot about alternate formulae to calculate things we already know how to calculate. Why would we care? Do they have a smaller big-oh? Nature references the theory of links between other areas of math, if true that's great, but if its true surely they would have mentioned an example of such a link? Anyways I lean towards this not being that interesting, even if you base that just on what the nature article said.
Ray tracing is a marketing gimmick?
Just because high end GPUs aren't able to do it well doesn't mean it's a gimmick.

Salting makes each crack take either it's own rainbow table or other methods.

I was talking about _reversed_ passwords, guesses that fulfill the algorithm. Bonus points if they look like names, words, etc, but even random junk might just be a pwgen password.
It was supposed to be a one-off task and I was confident at the time that I can script it quickly.

I still scripted it but it took at least half a day.

I'll still behind the idea that one has to be able to do one-off tasks without starting a dedicated programming project. It's what scripting languages are meant for.

But I did misjudge the speed at which I'll be able to finish the task, that much is true. Ironically I knew exactly what to do from the start but several small and annoying quirks of the shell scripting languages lost me quite a bit of time.
It’s interesting that you can order custom made DNS sequences so easily, I didn’t know that. But, vaccination is something we have to do as a society. It’s fundamentally a social action taken across a population. He says that after taking the vaccine, he will be able to go out and socialise again, but the vaccines only make you immune from severe disease, not the people around you. So if you are vaccinated you can still catch Covid again and spread it to your grandparents, or the overweight person working on the supermarket checkout, or your neighbour’s sickly child. If your homemade vaccine has worked you’ll be ok, but they wont. This is why we have to vaccinate as a society and we all have to wait until there’s enough people vaccinated to ensure herd immunity. It’s also why you can’t take any risk at all that the vaccine that you give to the whole population could be harmful because if people lose trust in the vaccine or vaccines in general then as a society we will lose access to this tool for protecting us from disease, and the death toll from that would be far higher than a few more months of Covid.
> Why would anyone want to hire a wife-beater?

1) Most DV cases are false allegations. In the West, no proof is required for a female to file a complaint against a man she knows.

In some areas, almost all criminal court cases now involve false DV allegations. There's various reasons for that, but when you have a child custody battle, everybody tells the wife to just fill something in the complaint form. There's no penalty for the wife regardless of the trial outcome.

2) Serving your sentence should be enough, esp. given #1.

> There are millions of upstanding citizens out of work

If you're a man, you're only one phone call away from a false allege. Something to think about if you're in a relationship. Or hiring.
I remember when Twitter was trending pro-Labour trends everyday in the last election you would think they were going to win. But Tories did. I think it shows how much of an echo chamber each social media platform can be.

Rihannas tweeted about some political protest, but it was later established she was paid for the tweet. SM platforms have a responsbility to declare political endorsements.
What are these people’s agenda? Do they actually believe this crap or are they trying to create instability?
> and quite a lot of red state resistance.

Not really red state resistance. It’s legal in AK and MT but still illegal (but decriminalized) in NY. Illegal in Maryland, Virginia, New Mexico, etc.

Likely the only real correlation is with states that give their citizens direct referendums.

> Between, say, the American way of embarrassing riches and the EU way of equality I note one didn't produce many tech companies.

This is a great point that is often ignored. People like to claim that X or Y EU nation is better governed than the US or enjoys greater happiness. However they are also beneficiaries of all the innovation that has come out of America for them to have those standards of living - things like the smartphones and the Internet in recent times.
First, I did not trade GME at all, second, I'm not on reddit, I just was ther the last week a couple of times, and I'm far, really far from QAnon. It's just my own opinion, made by myself. Because there are no public data about the whole thing in the background, sadly now one ever can proof anything true or false.
If you're a foreigner you would probably be tripped by the post code/address. I certainly was when the petrol station asked for my post code in the US! (My card postcode does not fit the US format.)

A type check would give map a type, say [a] -> (int -> a -> b) -> [b]. If you try to apply it to any function that does not have the type (int -> a -> b), the check would fail.
Okay. Extremely data driven approach.
Well i bought into it and i will hold, the damage is already there and this way i get to see it play out with some minor emotional investment. I've had more expensive lessons in my life so it is ok.

Still i think Gamestop has a good future ahead of it, just nothing to warrant even the current stock price. But hey, maybe the squeeze will come ;)
Oh come on, do you really believe the drivel you just typed out?

Any office worker can do exercise to mitigate their risks, no labourer can magically make his bad back or destroyed knees better again.
People in HN need to start understanding, that while most of us can work from home, earn a living, be fairly happy (especially if you're living with someone).

You simply cannot even begin to asses the financial and psychological damage of every single waiter, or coffee shop barrista, dance artist, theatre actor, or god forbid business owner who might have spent decades building a business that is now bankrupt, sitting at home, with nothing to do, no one to speak to, doing what? Its well known in psychology that spending too much time alone basically makes you go crazy.

Look at the numbers on domestic abuse, drug abuse, mental health issues.

Have a little empathy. There are legitimate viewpoints about whether these lockdowns are worth it, and especially for how long. This isn't disinformation. It's just people who are different from you.

Yes, but here the argument is to not blindly apply just any function to a map since the signatures won't necessarily match. It's harder to spot the errors and is just technically wrong, even if it does work in that particular situation.
> Virginia is about to be solidly blue

Why? Is there a strong correlation with ex-cons and the Democratic Party?
Wouldn't a good conjecture be anything that's interesting if true. General bonus points for if intuitively it seems like it should be obviously true (or false) but yet is hard to prove or if proving it is true would allow you to prove lots of other interesting statements.
Just tested on latest TOR Browser. It limits the viewport sizes to a small set (multiples of 200px I think). The JS `screen.width` etc are undefined. The media queries can only query the viewport size, not the screen size.
In this context he was simply following a protocol developed by established experts. No hubris involved, unless you think the experts also have hubris.
I agree with the viewpoint (somewhat).

I agree with mask mandates and commerce closures, but when the government starts making it illegal to meet my family, including outside and in own house, then that crosses a civil liberties line for me personally. A reasonable person could hold the opposite view. A reasonable person could hold the 'total lockdown' view. But if you hold the 'anti-lockdown' viewpoint you risk being told you have just been reading 'disinformation' these days. I don't see anti-lockdown as disinformation, that's a policy option.

I also don't see it as disinformation to believe that governments are utilising propaganda to either make Covid sound worse / better according to what fits their policy narrative - that's what governments do!

There is lots of genuine disinformation about Covid, but we have to be careful that we don't just brand opposing opinions as disinformation and fake news.

> The network is using tried and tested techniques of psychological propaganda to manipulate the public and cast pressure on governments. It has already arguably paved the way for more than 100,000 COVID-19 deaths in the UK – and will likely lead to many more.

Now ironically THIS is ACTUAL misinformation. To blame the 'network' for ALL Covid deaths in the UK is just ridiculous. I personally don't think the use of 'arguably' here absolves them from the fact the claim is clearly false.
You've got it right. Far right IS anyone right of Tony Blair. (according to these people)

Ah, I think that's a quite different aspect than the comment you were replying to was referring to, though.

There definitely still are people that expect the "rocket to start any minute now", and a lot of those might also believe that they were stopped from making a ton of money by evil forces -- that might be loosely comparable to a cult like QAnon. But that doesn't mean that there aren't some reasonable questions to be asked about the strange occurrences on the stock market last week.

What would be hard right if not the nationalist brexit party and the literal right wing of the Tories? If you look in the national context or in comparison to any EU country they fall in the hard right, with farage certainly on the far right.

When they were still in the EU parliament Cameron even split from the conservative group (Merkel, Sarkozy) to found a new more right group jointly with the far right polish government party and a few nationalist groups from other countries, with Farage leading an even more right group jointly with the French Front National. There's also the literal Nazis/BNP on the further fringe, but in any context Farage and the right side of the Tories fall on the hard/far right

exploratory programming to generate the markup for this simple website is a mistake

You're wrong because you think the goal was to make a website.

Judging by the arclanguage.org post linked earlier, the goal was to test the Arc language as an example of exploratory programming to make a web application, with the measure of success being "as little Arc code as possible". The HTML output was intentionally 'bad' from a web development perspective, but 'good' from an Arc perspective. Consequently if you judge it purely in terms of web development it does look pretty awful, but that isn't the context it was written in so that's not a fair way to look at it.
Vaccines are sufficiently easy to make that people in the 19th century could make them.

The hard part isn't making a vaccine, it's making one that's safe and reliably effective. Using 19th century techniques will kill you an unacceptably high proportion of the time (well, unacceptable unless it's something like widespread smallpox or, debateably, covid) and also often won't work.
So basically any language that does any form of type checking at all.
My main problem with this argument is that I'm not sure what the alternative should have looked like.

Exxon having a "oh fuck" moment where they told their workers to stop working, their customers that there is no product to sell etc. seems something so extremely hard to pull off even if all of upper and middle-management wanted to do the right thing, I can't see how they could have.

I always imagine what would happen if the "5G/Radio is bad for you" crowd was proven right by people at Nokia. What would a realistic while morally sound strategy have looked like?
