Gotcha, that makes sense to me - refactoring queries which wanna flip would be my choice as well, just thinking that if the analyze fixes plans its (in my experience) "well we could have just used this plan anyway" - both of them are short term fixes for sure.
How is that curriculum not racist in and of itself? Calling people evil based on the color of their skin seems to be the very definition of racism.
I wish that hearing protection had been required or at least offered when I used to visit data centers frequently. They made a big deal of the fire suppression training, but never even suggested ear plugs. 20 year-old me had no idea how bad that noise was for my ears. I hope the staff there were wearing plugs, but it was never apparent.
They have a pretty interesting "Deprecated" section to document games that they no longer recommend. Some are because of changing cultural mores, but others are because of danger to self and property!

The current state of webapps on Android has made good progress on these issues:

Supported on all major Android browsers:

- Progressive Web Apps can be added to your home screen
- Web Push lets web apps receive push notifications (Brave's implementation is broken, but they try to support the feature)

Experimental APIs supported by Chrome for Android:

- Web Share Target API, which lets homescreen'd web apps receive shares from other apps (the share pane makes no distinction between sharing to a web app or a native app)
- Contacts APIs to read the user's contacts list

I think PWA's competitiveness will get a lot better once other browsers adopt the Web Share Target (or something like it), but I'm skeptical that they'll really take off as long as Apple continues hold off on implementing features that would make PWAs competitive with native apps.
Yeah, this seems to make no sense from the outside and the data I've seen, which all puts this in fairly normal ranges. And not enough transparency into the why then IMHO. But well, transparency into why this is supposed to make sense is something sorely missing from German covid policies for a long time now...

EDIT: as pointed out elsewhere, the official press release gives us that there has been new data in the past few days with a specific concern, that's at least some info.
I have no such experience on several devices and android versions. Perhaps clear cache / reinstall and see if that helps clear the bug? Otherwise it might be device specific.
Ironic, since xkcd is another awesome thing from the Internet of 2005-2015 that is now a mere husk of its former glory - just like Firefox.
In Canada that "traditional" engineer is simply called "professional engineer", so it's a bit more grey.

I do know some people who have the title software engineer and they had to do like a whole ceremony where they swore an oath and got a ring and stuff.

They also have real-world legal rights and obligations that it grants them. For instance they can put their stamp on a structural drawing. Because they studied that stuff.

It does seem silly to have real-world building architecture requirements for a Software Engineer but that's where we're at.

Anyways, Software Developer (or even "Product Developer") is a much more common term in Canada as a result. No one wants to tangle with provincial regulations over a job title.
True, but the ARM ones have just 32MB for up to 80 threads.

I wonder if we could get numbers for L3 misses and cycles spent waiting for main memory under realistic workloads.

All my reading said that the decisions ERCOT made during the weather event were all very competent. They kept the grid from collapsing, which was their job.

The fact that extensive load shedding and brownouts etc needed to happen was not a result of decisions made during the weather event, but lack of infrastructure investment over decades (that may or may not have been under the control of ERCOT, rather than the legislature and state government regulators, but ERCOT certainly was on board with/lobbying for the conditions of deregulation that led to them).

During the weather event... ERCOT, the grid operator, did their job very competently. Making more capacity come online or reducing consumer demand was not really something that could be done during the weather event. They kept the grid from collapsing -- and it nearly did collapse, it was a close call. That was their job during the event.
Stop going on the Daily Caller to praise Tucker Carlson would be a good first step.
You would get a NameError (or maybe an UnboundLocalError in some cases) if you use a nonexistent variable name in Python. At least, this has been true since 2013 when I started learning Python.
Yeah, and I rightly so if you ask me. AZ seems so to get all the heat in the press. I really wonder why, but as soon as you start looking at the numbers, there never seems to be something to it.

First it was efficiany with elderly in the study, were the numbers were totally misunderstood. Then it was overall effectiveness, then prevention of severe cases. The list goes on. In the meanwhile, the press is reporting every single rash people get with AZ.

EDIT: Just checked, they found 7 cases of thrombosis in the brain, out of 1.6 million vaccinated people. Well, we'll see how that develops.
right, I think 3900 may be the correct price
My team has started doing this for workflow orchestration. When our workflows (implemented in Cadence) need to perform some complex business logic (grab data from 3 sources and munge, for example) we handle that with a RPC-style endpoint.
In EU at least plenty of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are still incoming, so there are actually alternatives to AZ.

Do not forget that these vaccines are still very new, plus there's the possibility of a production issue with the AZ vaccine that affects only part of the production; I wouldn't say it's "politically-motivated" or a dumb idea to pause AZ vaccinations until one does a deeper investigation; I personally chose to avoid AZ due to a history of strokes in my family, I preferred to reserve a spot on the Moderna list. Better safe than sorry.

How does something like that get handled? At some point isn't contacting this service really just contacting a handful of IP addresses? Are those just "regular" computers? Specialized hardware?

Also with the amount of centralization here, presumably they are the target of bad actors. How do they defend against things like DDOS's to provide their claimed uptimes?
It is, increasingly, at least in the Sports content world.

The Athletic, for example, has its own comment section (duplicated on a much larger scale by Reddit discussion of quotes from the paywalled articles). Even niche outlets like the Dunc'd On Podcast come with their own Discord.

The lure, I think, is basically what's being discussed here.

Sports discussion ... suffers perhaps more than average from an absence of moderation, so a paywalled community is seen as a benefit.
Yep, this is probably the most readable implementation of all languages so far. I ran it and got 3.59s (Go 0.82s, Rust 1.55s, Shell 42.6s(?))

For accurate diff results, one would need `puts` instead of `p` to get rid of the additional quotes.
South Africa stopped using it in February, because it did not work well against their mutant. Not sure about current status.
Good point. I might have to update that. I have never actually tried transferring between two networks and did not want to advertise i in case it didn't work.
Given that some amount of alternate vaccines are available, governments are doing the right thing by "deferring" deployment of this vaccine for a short while, because this move has the highest chance avoiding direct harm to people from medicine (which is often perceived worse than harm that would have befallen people without medicine) and highest chance of avoiding an increase of brand-agnostic vaccine mistrust from the public.

As news about some countries pausing its deployment spread, the pressure rises on other countries to follow suit, as they weigh the risk of public mistrust.

If in the near future, public mistrust about this brand of vaccine climbs higher but confidence in other vaccines does not drop as much, then governments will benefit from having deferred deployment of this vaccine, and they may benefit further by suspending deployment of this vaccine entirely, even if the vaccine is entirely vindicated to be safe.

This outcome would be unfair for the manufacturer, but it would sacrifice this brand to preserve public trust. Public trust is a key factor in healthcare policy in societies where some healthcare participation is voluntary and elections can significantly influence policy priorities.

I have an idea for a HN add on that I don’t have time to make yet.

I’d like to make a ‘social media’ version of HN that notifies you every time anyone upvotes your comment or post and generally bugs you in all the ways social media normally does. Just to see what it would be like.
Yes. Art is every human product that doesn't have to function in any way, and despite that it still has potential to be appreciated by some people. Philosophy fits.

The rates at population levels are not enough. These are rare cases and, at least partially, in groups of people who shouldn't get that ill and suddenly die
In Norway at least, where we have high compliance and relatively few corona deaths, one important point is to keep public trust in the authorities. The worst case scenario would be loss of trust in the vaccine and loss of trust in the health authorities. Then people would not get vaccinated even if the authorities were recommending it.

Also the symptoms are bizarre, the deaths and hospitalizations from blod clot have all been young health care workers in good health with onset of symptoms a few days after getting their first shot. They have all had low platelet count which is very unusual with blood clots and complicates treatment immensely because the standard thrombolytic treatment is then not safe to use.

Disclaimer from UK.gov:

Part of our monitoring role includes reviewing reports of suspected side effects. Any member of the public or health professional can submit suspected side effects through the Yellow Card scheme. The nature of Yellow Card reporting means that reported events are not always proven side effects. Some events may have happened anyway, regardless of vaccination. This is particularly the case when millions of people are vaccinated, and especially when most vaccines are being given to the most elderly people and people who have underlying illness.

I'm not sure, I'm not an expert in this and I've never been in the military.

However, I bet there's little to nothing uniquely good about OODA over the alternatives you mention. My guess is that having a standardized rapid decision making framework is valuable compared to the frantic scramble that might take place otherwise.
What newly available data?
I’m not sure what kind of conversation you’re trying to start with this comment, but the article is pretty clear in its case:

> Platforms also want to appear politically neutral. Inconveniently for them, our research found that although some election-related misinformation circulated on the left, the pattern of the same accounts repeatedly spreading false or misleading claims about voting, or about the legitimacy of the election itself, occurred almost exclusively among pro-Trump influencers, QAnon boosters, and other outlets on the right. We were not the only ones to observe this; researchers at Harvard [1] described the former president and the right-wing media as driving a “disinformation campaign” around mail-in voter fraud during the 2020 election; the researchers’ prior work had meticulously detailed a “propaganda feedback loop” within the closely linked right-wing media ecosystem.

Most likely liability. Since all the AZ vaccines were rushed to market they did not go through the regular channels of approval, in some countries legislation had to be changed in order to limit the liability of doctors/technicians and the companies themselves.

I've personally seen the waiver forms send to doctors, and none of the usual testing was done, including the effect on youngsters, pregnant women, etc.

There is a very good reason we had these regulations in place to begin with.

tl'dr: Governments have let AZ off the hook legally if side-effects or worse occur.
You're getting it mixed up.

What to expect, if we live in the world were intelligence is becoming rare, and people can't read the context, and get insulted by anything. More and more have such delicate souls, poor things.
Hopefully they can fix their idle power consumption with a firmware tweak or a new stepping, that's a massive regression. It looks like that causes a significant performance degradation too -- more of the power budget going to IO means less to the compute cores.
How is it suspicious?

256MB L3 (or really, 8 x 32MBs L3) and 24-cores suggests the bottom-of-the-barrel 3 cores active per 8-core CCX.

8x CCX with 3-cores. The yields on those chips must be outstanding: its like 62.5% of the cores could have critical errors and they can still sell it at that price.

EDIT: My numbers were wrong at first. Fixed. Zen3 is double-sized CCX (32MBs / CCX instead of 16MBs/CCX)

---------

In contrast, the 28-core 7453 is $1,570. I personally would probably go with the 28-core (with only 2x32MB L3 cache, or 64MBs) rather than the 24-core with 256MBs L3 cache.

For my applications, I bet that having 7-cores share an L3 cache (and therefore able to communicate quickly) is better than having 1 or 2 cores having 32MBs of L3 to themselves.

There are also significant price savings, as well as significant power / wattage savings with the 28-core / 64MBs model.
First off, it's not a direct comparison. The Epyc has one L3 cache per chiplet. This means that latency is not uniform across the entire L3 cache. This was a serious concern on the first generation of Epyc, where accessing L3 could take anywhere from zero to three hops across an internal network. AMD has greatly improved the problem on the more recent generations by switching to a star topology with more predictable latency.

That said, there are two major reasons:

1. Epyc is on a chiplet architecture. Large chips are harder to make than small ones. Building two 200mm^2 chips is cheaper than building one 400mm^2 chip. Since Epyc has a chiplet architecture, this means they can put more silicon into a chip for the same price. This means that Epyc can be just plain bigger than the competition. This comes with some complexity and inefficiency but has, so far, paid off in spades for them.

2. Epyc is on a newer process. This means AMD can fit more transistors even with the same area. Intel has had serious problems with their newer processes, so this is not an advantage AMD expected to have when designing the part. The use of a cutting-edge process was, in part, enabled by the chiplet architecture. It is possible to fabricate several small chips on a 7nm process even though one large chip would be prohibitively expensive, and AMD has been able to use a 14nm process in parts of the CPU that wouldn't benefit from a 7nm process to cut costs.

The first point is serious cleverness on the part of AMD. The second point is mostly that Intel dropped the ball.
That's actually cool. It's been a while since I worked on GRPC with Scala. Back then we only had that thin wrapper around Java.

Sure northerners can hunt whales and burn the blubber to stay warm just like the indigenous people used to do.
Coordinating a mass schedule change at a specific point in time is just a different method of implementing daylight-savings time.

Between the two, changing wall clocks seems like the simpler of the two options, but either is fine.
And yet it's fewer deaths than due to overly cautious vaccine approvals.
This is standard, and doesn't mean they aren't standing behind their work.

If you ever see "legal advice" (in the loosest sense of the term) being given in online forums, like /r/LegalAdvice, the phrase you see the most is IANAL[0] – "I am not a lawyer." By actual lawyers, you usually see the variant "I am not your lawyer."

Being my lawyer means I have cilent-lawyer confidentiality and other privileges. But you commenting online, or writing a github repo, doesn't meet that standard. This might seem very obvious to you, but unfortunately I've seen people get this wrong a bunch. It's a component of ensuring we protect everyone's rights.

Essentially if you used that project and got in legal hot water, and then said, "but hey, I got legal advice from this github repo", well if they were lawyers they could lose their license. This is drilled into them as ethical behaviour. Getting it wrong comes with risk, and there's no benefit.

A lawyer is only going to give you advice once you're actually their client, have signed an engagement letter or similar, and most importantly they understand the facts of the case. Legal advice is case-specific, and giving general advice leads to wrong advice, which gets people in trouble.

Ditto. First thing I do when setting up firefox, the default is just way too unnecessarily large.

A large monitor isn't even necessary, it's too large at every monitor size between 13" and 34" (which is the range my personal hardware covers).

I'm guessing that the research methods used by the academic groups in the article aren't easily automateable otherwise it would appear that we have the beginnings of a solution to this type of behavior. First, define the pattern of behavior, then identify instances in the wild, next identify the actor, then name and shame. Throw some legistation behind this with criminal penalities for offenders and you have a regulatory agency that combats misinformation.

It can definitely be interpreted as CYA. They are following the recommendation of the Paul-Ehrlich-Institute, a federal regulatory body.

Imagine they went against this recommendation and it turns out there is indeed an issue with the vaccine. That would cause a shit storm of epic proportions. This way the "worst" that can happen is that there was a delay.

Now people could die during that delay because they weren't vaccinated, but it's much easier to sweep that under the rug as a politician, in my opinion.
The thing about leadership is it only makes you the leader; a leader is no such thing without a good team.

Jobs actively fought against the App Store within the company until someone finally convinced him it was actually worth doing. A bad leader would have just overruled his team, but a good leader will know when to back down because his team is right.
The UI issues you are mentioning are very minor and have been like that in Telegram for years. I would say that there are different way to present a feature and coming from Whatsapp you are used to one way of doing things.

IMHO Telegram has the best UI and UX of all other "family friendly" chat app.

I do agree on the Voice and Video calls that need more improvement.
> But as more blood-clot deaths emerge... you gotta think caution is wise.

I would challenge the term "caution", as it implies giving the vaccine is more risky than not.

> Difficult to call, but I hope it's all being investigated thoroughly

I agree there. But rather not for medical reasons.

Right, but that's assuming you get the virus; to properly compare it you have to factor the chance you contract the virus in the first place. I'm not saying the math works out better, I haven't done it myself, but I'd bet most people would choose to try to avoid contracting
