If COVID-19 becomes an annual event like the flu then someday you will be in the 50+ group and suddenly this will matter very much to you. Meanwhile you're in the spreader group infecting those who are 50+ such as your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and potentially killing them.
I'm no FPGA expert but I think two problems would be the 4K per-processor memory and the inter-processor communication. You might have routing problems with the Connection Machine's hypercube routing.

A couple. There was a range of experiences. The majority had been handheld developers building hardware and games for the GBC, GBA and DS.

I don't know specifically of another school that focuses on this. However, one thing I found over my college career and you are probably already aware of is that often, if you make a connection with department faculty and prove yourself ambitions they are accommodating in how they will account credits.

You might consider finding a school with a friendly and flexible faculty and then see if they will allow you to pursue a CS degree replacing some of the CS courses with CE courses. Give your existing degree you would might find a fair amount of latitude since they won't feel they need to babysit your trajectory.
I can download an epub on my mobile. I can email an epub from my mobile.

I can't run calibre from my mobile. I can rename .epub to .png and email that from my mobile.

Yes, I can host calibre somewhere else. No, my technologically savvy friends and family cannot. I also don't want them to depend on me to be able to convert an epub for their kindle when there's a trivial solution that doesn't require additional dependencies.
Of course you think so. And the other side thinks you're wrong.

> our rescuers are exposed to mountain risk when they should be sitting back at base ... inter-hospital transfer ... actually worth risking their lives for.

Do you think people who sign up to work for mountain rescue, in Switzerland, secretly wish for a life of sitting around and occasionally driving an ambulance to the next town? Boring jobs are also available... but some people want to be out there, summer and winter, with teamwork, helicopters & adrenaline.
The main impediment I have had are magazines I subscribe to who are behind paywalls. Ars Technica and Talking Points Memo have a subscriber feed, but it's basically just an honor system thing for you to not go sharing it but they're the only ones. I'd honestly be okay if they just gave you a stub and had you click through, but they seem resistant to doing even that.
You'd eat a 3D printed steak but not soy or wheat protein that you probably already eat multiple times a week?

That don’t. They just read what’s on the label and call it that. It’s preservationists who see a war here: everyone else has moved on.

Freedom of thought means dissent. Dissent means there are others who you want to convince that your point of view is more correct. You can do this through honest means or you can do it through misinformation, which currently is a lot cheaper. Think about the amount of money we have to spend to convince people COVID is real vs how much YouTube pundits spend to convince people otherwise.

So the only real solution will be economic: make lies expensive. But by definition lies are easier to manufacture than the truth. Opinions are cheaper than research. And passion tends to be more believable than things people have to read and math they have to check for themselves. You could make the cost social: spread lies, get permanently labeled as a liar and never be able to show your face anywhere again. Can work ok for public figures but less so for /u/QAnon123. You can do it through law: spread lies and go to prison (fines are only punishment for those that don’t have a lot of money). Or you could do it with cruel and unusual punishment so much so that it makes it so taboo that enforcement happens like four times a century. But in either case you will have some death and suffering because someone will be collateral damage.
Yep. That goes to show what I've said often in comments here: "meat" means food in certain parts of the world. That is to say English speaking parts of the world.

For instance, I'm Greek and in the Greek language bread is synonymous with "food". A few expressions in Greek characteristic of this synonymity of bread with food are: "δεν έχουμε ψωμί να φάμε" - "we have no bread to eat", meaning "we shall go hungry"; "βγάζω το ψωμί μου", "deriving one's bread", meaning "making a living" (analogous to "bring the bacon home"); and of course "πάτερ ημών ο εν τοις ουρανοίς δωσ' ημίν σήμερον τον άρτον ημών τον επιούσιον", or "our father who art in heaven give us our daily bread".

This is one reason why debates like the ones in this HN thread frustrate me. Yes, some people should definitely eat less meat. Much less meat! But that's by far not everyone in the world and some people have been eating very reasonable amounts, very sustainable amounts of meat (and very sustainable kinds of meat) for many generations. Of course those are the same people whose national cuisines are already teeming with vegetarian and vegan dishes, except of course those are simply called "food" in the local languages. I find it an affront, having grown up in such a culture, to hear that I have to reduce my meat consumption even further or switch to repulsive-sounding "plant-based meat alternatives" because some people half a world over can't sit down to eat without a big fat beef stake in front of them.

Bottom line: we haven't all fucked up the planet to the same degree. We shouldn't all have to change our way of life and the way we eat to the same degree.
Kind of, more like just another legal contract to sign up to satisfy a social requirement.
This is correct.

There's a big difference between a sincere, good-faith exchange of ideas, and weaponized disinformation for the explicit purpose of manipulating the public. Knowingly spreading lies is not a "political opinion," and doesn't deserve the same protections that actual opinions do.

This article and a lot of the comments here conflate the two. I don't see any desire on the part of the media or big tech to censor political thought. I do see efforts on their part, especially after 6 Jan, to fight disinformation, which is as it should be.

Example of sincere opinion: "I support small government and lower taxes."
Example of weaponized disinformation: "Dominion source code shows that Trump really won the election."

One of these statements is more likely than the other to be banned on Twitter, despite the fact that both are ostensibly "conservative" positions.
Logic is hopelessly useless in dealing with the kinds of BS you encounter in most discussions. It's trivial to construct logical arguments that are utterly false or misleading. A lot of the disagreements you'll see people complain about aren't even about logic - they are about the very premises.

Let's take just one simple example: is the Earth actually warmer than it was 50 years ago? Of course, the real answer is yes. But to actually believe this in the middle of a very cold winter, you would have to either become a climate scientist yourself, or trust in the scientific community - a classic appeal to authority fallacy if I ever saw one!

Likewise, but the issue there is slightly different — if they had ruled that “burgers” had to contain meat, there would be a similar but stronger argument to force “hamburgers” to only refer to those made of ham.

Hamburgers are named after the place they were invented (the city of Hamburg), itself named after a big castle which in German is “Burg”.

And before anyone suggests one could also argue that “they’re only allowed to be called hamburgers if they’re from Hamburg and otherwise are just sparkling fried meat patties”, I apologise for spoiling the obvious joke by having looked up the EU rules for when something can be protected with a geographical designation (feta cheese, champagne, etc.) and discovered none of that sort of thing would apply.
Funny... that’s the only place (Bill and Ted’s) I’ve ever seen the use of the word.
if a person who is nominally in a journalistic role ends up producing fabulism and they are then demoted and reassigned, it’s better for that person to lead everyone to believe they were pushed out for irrelevant things many years ago rather than the issue with their work at their workplace that in fact literally just occurred. it’s just confusing, because in any other context i don’t think people would fall for this whataboutism.

a pediatrician who gave babies placebo vaccinations and was then demoted and assigned to “what does being a doctor actually mean” class and then quit, and then told everyone he was fired because people found out he got speeding tickets constantly would be dismissed out of hand once everyone found out about the whole fake baby vaccination thing.

andy is a liar. he purposefully mislead his colleagues when he had good reasons to doubt the credibility of his single source. he produced a work of fiction and the premiere newspaper in the world took it as carte blanche and shared it with the world as the truth. it does not matter what happened with him a decade ago, or three years ago, or even immediately before caliphate. the only relevant thing in this story is that he failed miserably at his only job.
'As of December 16, 2020, there were 12,396 health workers over 18 years old enrolled. A total of 253 positive cases were collected during the observation period. After 14 days following vaccination with 2 doses of vaccine following a 0, 14 day schedule, the efficacy rate against diseases caused by COVID-19 was 50.65% for all cases, 83.70% for cases requiring medical treatment, and 100.00% for hospitalized, severe, and fatal cases.'
Maybe you missed the part where I wrote about their notability rules. Boothe was notable because of an assassination. At no point was his stage career even worth mentioning.
I agree with this. It is super easy to prove and many of them are still alive too. Just put a random set of vegetables in a container and wait. You will see flies, aphids and all manor of other bugs born in it. I sometimes even find fruit-flies when I do this. Same with meats. Meats contain larvae and well, I won't gross people out here. That is why I cook what I can and wash everything with apple cider vinegar, since I have so much of it anyway. Also important to keep stomach acid strong for this reason. I envy Vulchers for their super strong stomach acid.

Where does anything imply it's open source? As far as I see, it has no explicit license terms other than the prohibition on commercial use, so it's pretty clearly _not_ open source by any reasonable standard.
Right. My point is that I don’t believe everyone I disagree with is trying to spread misinformation. I think Occam’s razor tells me they are much more likely to simply be incompetent. Select few deliberately spread misinformation. The rest simply parrot it as the truth because they haven’t thought it out critically.

Awesome benchmarks. Would be interesting how much minification affects actual client and server performance?

And as understand all these tools use a lexing and ast parsing stage. It would be interesting if you could build a very simple minifier (at least a whitespace one) that could skip that step through just working on input buffer?

There is also the fact that more code means longer minification time. You can praise esbuild for building a CRA in 2 seconds but there are workflows/frameworks that compile sub second by using less runtime code.

I had never considered that possibility. Horrifying thought.
> News organizations have an obligation to report on what they believe to be true.

They have an obligation to report facts and world events, regardless of what they believe to be true. At least in a US context, the infusion of opinion and bias into news that CNN jumpstarted is a cancer that I feel is directly responsible for the highly polarized state of the US.
Best comment from a historian about a certain political party in 1930's Germany.

None of their arguments were arguments in the context of debate. They were post justifications of what they wanted to do. And telegraphing what they wanted done.
Precisely. The whole myth that we are responding to what's factual and what's not is exactly that: a myth, it has no basis in truth. People will believe that which they feel helps their case the most, the facts be damned.
My whole point here is that their professions are not noteworthy, relevant, or interesting, but Wikipedian bureaucracy causes them to be mentioned, and I think it's dumb.
Yes, it was Ellsberg's copies of the nuclear strategy documents that were lost. The original documents were still in a classified safe in the Pentagon. Some were later declassified, long after they were obsolete, and probably some have never seen the light of day.
> There is no way to separate dissent from disinformation a priori

You might as well say "There is no way to separate pornography from innocent family photos, other than by making assumptions about the othes party's good faith."

Yes, it's a judgment call. But it's a judgment call that's not hard to make; it's a judgment call that we need to make in order to maintain a civil society.
You can take an approach like the Linux kernel where _one_ person is the sole arbiter and approver of all changes. This person is tasked with having complete, 100% depth and breadth knowledge of the entire system. It is their responsibility to ensure changes adhere to the goals of the system. It is of course an enormous bottleneck, and a big risk for management (the old 'what if they get hit by a bus, what do we do then?' concern).

Realistically, past the 200k lines of code point you aren't dealing with a codebase anymore; you're an _organization_. You need knowledge management--where do architecture decisions live, how are they approved, how are they taught to new developers, how are they updated as maintainers come and go, etc. It takes strong engineering management and leadership to keep it together.
Precisely. This practice of attributing loaded labels such as this is intellectually dishonest, yet it happens with gusto in the US today.

The end result is that there are kneejerk reactions in the media (social, mainstream) to apply this label to information that is at odds with what you want to be the case. Rather than use hard reasoning skills to win an argument, paint the other as being disinformation. Or apply this to people with loaded labels that aren't supported by the evidence.

All of this to push back on things people don't want to hear. Inconvenient and often uncomfortable bits of reality.

This is a very slippery slope. Sadly we've been on our way down it for a number of years. I personally mark the beginning of this slope as the time when our lovely US mainstream media abandoned all pretense at being objective, and decided narratives of resistance made far more sense than objectively reporting. Though I can likely point further back, to 2001, and the reaction of the media to the ascension of Bush the younger.

This is of course, my opinion. Doesn't make it right or wrong. It isn't mis/dis information. I am not a good/bad person for having it.

> Like how the fuck am I supposed to understand anything in there? By reading all the code?

This is one of the superpowers of Go: for most Go projects, this is exactly what I'd do. Just read the code. It's easy to follow, it's all formatted the same, very little implicit behavior, and I don't need an IDE to do it.

Few languages were designed to be read by others. Thankfully Go is one of them.
This is awesome and I can't believe I've never found it even though it's over ten years old. Anyone know of any open projects that use these data that are taking on contributors?
Pivoting through English isn't inherent to Argos Translate, you could train a French-German model or whatever you want I've just been focusing on training models to add new languages. The ideal strategy is to have models that know multiple languages.

Quoting a previous HN comment:

I think cloud translation is still pretty valuable in a lot of cases since the model for one single direction translation is ~100MB. In addition to having more language options without a large download cloud translations let you use more specialized models for example French to Spanish. I just have a model to and from English for each language and any other translations have to "pivot" through English. For cloud translations you can also use one model with multiple input and output languages which gives you better quality translation between languages that don't have as much data available and lets you support direct translation between a large number of languages. Here's a talk where Google explains how they do this for Google Translate: https://youtu.be/nR74lBO5M3s?t=1682. You could do this locally but it would have its own set of challanges for getting the right model for the languages you want to translate.

> Thinking about it a bit more, it's a bit weird that the failure mode of a weak model would be to regurgitate the input unchanged. I'd rather have expected random Chinese gibberish in that case. Doesn't that mean the model has seen at least a few cases where English sentences were left untranslated in the training data?

This was added last week, it's just not live on libretranslate.com yet:

https://github.com/uav4geo/LibreTranslate/issues/33

The training scripts are just an example for English-Spanish, Opus(http://opus.nlpl.eu/) has data for English-Chinese.
Yes, I had a bunch of these new groundmeat replacements from different companies, and they were quite good.
Marriage is about growing and adapting with the other person. "We changed" as a reason for the end of a marriage is an admission of failure to work at the relationship over its course. Of course you changed. The whole point is to grow and change together, until you die.

People don't just become incompatible. Something went badly wrong for that to happen. It's increasingly common nowadays - nuclear families tend to be more atomized, rather than integrated into an extended family, which increases the stress on the relationship, and many people simply don't prioritize their marriage, but instead their career, kids, or lifestyle. And of course, the modern social environment is more full of distractions and temptations than ever.

I guess a reasonable requirement for a momifier would be that the test suite passes 100% of tests after minification.
Why even have any pre-determined time clause?

I would say the most sensible thing is simply the mutual declaration for the sake of administrivia, that until any of the members of a marriage say otherwise, we all are married. The only reason to even have the document is just for things like power of attorney. Who shall be considered a legal guardian responsible for a child, who is allowed to make decisions for another while they are incapacitated, etc. And the expiration date is "until further notice".

I don't think you have a right to call that sort of family sad or "tragic".

That's actually incredibly insulting, even abusive when it's embedded in policy that everyone has to live under.

Just imagine if I called your family sad and tragic. Even if I used hard unavoidable data to back up the judgement.
This explains about everything you need to know about the ethos of the FDA. It’s baked in at a really foundational level.

As a biomedical person, i find the FDAs policies and procedures eminently sensible, perhaps especially when they chafe, and this is why.

I do not envy them their jobs even the littlest bit, but I’m glad they’re around.
The Pandemic-Induced Popularity of Google Street View
"garbage" and "fraud" are really strong words.

I would give the actual work behind this paper a "strong accept" if the claims were properly scoped, perhaps with a weak/borderline score on "significance/impact" since I'm not really sure why anyone cares about discovering discovering these sorts of identities. Probably a Conditional Accept in its current form because of the mismatch between actual results + reasonable expectation of potential vs. what's claimed.

So, "over-hyped" and "claims wildly out of line with actual results" are definitely more than fair statements. "Fraud" or "garbage" are way too strong.

Re: Nature, I don't really understand it or care. I can say that in my own input to hiring committees I tend to treat Nature papers in CS/Math as red flags unless they're consolidations of a bunch of other work published in top sub-field journals/conferences.

For some reason Nature really loves these "automated discovery of random mathematical facts" type of papers. I don't understand it. I tend to assume it's click-through-rate-driven editorial decision making.
