Which is one of the reasons I do not understand Norway's recent tightening of restrictions: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-norway...

In this matter lifting restrictions like Texas, Mississippi and other US states have done seems more reasonable.

In Denmark nearly everybody who is at risk has been vaccinated, but still the government hesitates to remove restrictions.
The main challenge with medical data is still the access and ownership. ViT transformers looked good, but only when training on huge amounts of data. Another problem is the distribution of the data, having good results with an internal dataset of a hospital does no guarantee getting the same results with another hospital's dataset.

I didn't know about the HATNet mentioned in the article, but it looks an interesting paper to read.

There's a recent article[0] showing that a good training strategy with a ResNet can be better than novel architectures. From my experience, a ResNet-34 / ResNet-50 is usually enough (at least talking about classification), and the main bottleneck is your dataset, class imbalance, and handling out-of-distribution samples.

But no manufacturer including Tesla seems to know how to make EVs profitable outside the extended luxury segment. Lower end EV like id.3 are basically the cheapest viable way to attach wheels and seats to the battery pack that doesn't completely ruin the brand. It's not a bad thing, ICE have grown quite wasteful in terms of "how expensive can you make a light switch?", but the price math is very different from ICE.

Previously it was "we want to take $X from the customer who buys the car, what can we cram into the package so that they feel they got something appropriate in return?", whereas for EV it's more liked "the battery is $X, $X+$tiny is the highest we could possibly demand, we need to find the least embarrassing car we can build around that battery for $tiny". Tesla's innovation was starting EV at the luxury end of the market, all previous attempts were doing the opposite. Compared to that all other Tesla innovations are insignificant, no matter how big they are on their own.

consumer routers that can actually run the latest version of either of these cost around $200, which in my opinion is better spent on something more powerful and hacker friendly like Alix https://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm

Time is 100% the hardest part. I advise people making the jump to spend 1 hour a day over 90 days doing a Udemy course or something similar in JavaScript. If you can force yourself to make that time and make it a habit then you might be a good fit for a coding bootcamp or deciding to make a more dedicated effort.

But most will never be able to spend 1 hour or more a day learning a new skill because its hard to learn after you work all day.
My mother believed for the majority of her adult life that “semi-automatic” meant “fully automatic”, as in “squeeze once, all the bullets come out”. It’s incredible that people with little to no knowledge of the mechanics of guns want to regulate exactly that.
data center and wind turbines don't need much maintenance. that's why both can be offshore. they need some low skill maintenance. so you shouldn't expect to see a tech hub growing around a data center or wind turbine farm. and they are not built there of course. data center is just a warehouse with server containers. wind turbines are probably built in germany

I recently rebuilt my home network when switching ISPs and fell in love with Ubiquity. It's the first time I have ever been happy to use networking-related hardware. Dealing with Asus/Linksys/Netgear/etc in the past had always been a miserable experience, and I'd cringe every time my internet went out and was forced to deal with them again.

It's a shame that there aren't more "pro-sumer" products like this out there. A common warning I read when researching Ubiquity products was that they're not for people who aren't tech/networking professionals. I don't know where that came from, because setting it all up was a breeze. It was way easier than dealing with Asus's terrible "setup wizard".
Tesla went cheap with the 3/Y to hit time-to-market window. Singular screen/etc are cost/design savings as much as style I think. I debated a Y as a family car but look elsewhere as it was just a fugly Chonk.

> type of design that I’d expect to see from Apple, more so than a Tesla

I think the opposite here honestly. Apple tends to do more simple initial rollout; saying features are bad/worthless/dumb until they have them in the second or third gen where they claim better implementation.

The biggest Tesla/Apple comparison to me is the network - Tesla SuperChargers are the walled-garden lockin. I bought an EV recently; and the ubiquity of SC's on my primary travel corridor pushed me to Tesla. I know there are lots of other charger networks out there; but Tesla's can use them; but the Ioniq likely won't be able to charge on the SC network for a fair while yet.
Yes the other day I realized nfts are an acre of land on Mars... a certificate that means nothing.

Then I realized that no, the Mars example is outdated although the scam still exists. It’s more like an acre of land on Pluto because while still unlikely it’s possible that land rights on Mars could be meaningful in our lifetime, but those one acre on Mars certificates will definitely not be.

Chemotherapy with fewer side effects may be on the way
Because having voter IDs is not the only or even the main thing that the right — a very vocal minority of the right, by the way — had an issue with. There were a lot of conflated FUD about

voting machines
doctored videos
shipments of empty votes
observers turned away
disappearing ink

The funny thing is that Trump’s own appointed people, including Krebs who we cite here a lot, but also Barr and others admitted that there was not nearly enough evidence of fraud to overturn any election result in any state.

And even funnier is how FOX and NewsMax debunked themselves and now chase the My Pillow CEO and others off their show for suggesting there was voting machine fraud — because they got cease and desist letters and warnings.

https://www.cnn.com/videos/business/2021/02/03/newsmax-mike-...

After all, this is really easy to check.

The irony for me was Texas suing the other states and then West floating a trial baloon to secede from the union (great form, West!) because they accused the other states of vote manipulation... this from a state that works hard to close HUNDREDS of poll places in Democratic areas ahead of the election to keep the state voting Republican, in blatant violation of the Voting Rights Act (neutered by the supreme court). And no one sues Texas in federal court for that.

For Republicans, mail-in ballots were the end-run around their extensive efforts to close polling places and require voting IDs and other ways to tip the balance in their party’s favor. If people can just vote from home then all that effort to drive an hour and stand in a long line will be unnecessary! So they aren’t being totally honest about their FUD being nonpartisan either.

As someone who has worked on firmware for network devices, including the UI/presentation aspect, I feel obliged to point out that there are people working in that part of the industry who take security seriously, and likewise there are people working in that part of the industry who take the presentation of both hardware and UIs seriously.

At the same time, I can’t really disagree with the general sentiment that a lot of firmware in embedded devices, router or otherwise, is very poor. The thing I’d add is that it’s not just consumer-grade products with this problem, there are plenty of supposedly professional-grade devices where the firmware is junk too. The worst products I have ever had in my typical small-office work environments were the Cisco-branded “small business” range, which in specs and appearance did look like they were being pitched at that market, yet which never performed accordingly and mostly failed after an unreasonably short amount of time for equipment in this class.

To be blunt, a big part of the problem is money. Think about the kind of developer who has gained a few years of experience and has the skills and interest to do a good job solving challenging technical problems. Look at what that person can earn working for a FAANG or a financial services firm, or the potential upside for them at a startup if they get in early and there is a big exit. Look at the work environments they have in those roles. Now look at what a whole team of those people would earn collectively for writing router firmware and tell me which number is bigger, and look at their work environment and tell me where you’d rather be spending a significant fraction of your waking hours. In short, the people you find working in this area with real ability tend to be those who enjoy this kind of work enough to give up a lot of other benefits to do it. Obviously that restricts your talent pool and then manufacturers have to fill the gaps with whoever else they can find.

It comes down to the age-old reality that many customers prefer to buy junk as long as it’s cheap. Sadly, I doubt this will change any time soon, whether we’re talking about consumer routers or TVs or whatever IoT device someone decided would make their home smarter this week. Maybe if something really bad happens, the market will shift and/or governments will step in and regulate to try to force better standards for things like security and updates. In those cases, I would expect to see both significant consolidation in the consumer devices market and significant price increases follow quickly afterwards.
I don't doubt that it's possible. Except from having these creepy "one-on-ones" and review meetings, I have no idea what the engineering manager is even doing all day, never seen any transparency around this. "attending meetings" is what they say, but what meetings and why, I have no idea. Nothing is delivered and nothing comes out of it, I really think it's a bullshit job. "Sets tone, handles career growth, shielding the team" lol, do some coding instead.
That first sequence diagram in the article reminds me of similar diagrams that I have seen for microservice based systems recently. Progress? Not so sure.
Honestly, one of the best things I learned when I was doing work on complexity with Stuart Kauffman was the idea of enabling constraints. The fact that in many circumstances putting constraints can actually lead to more complex and better situations when there is creation. Essentially, the enabling constraint has the effect of putting more of the creation on the line of criticality and thus suddenly you get far more creative growth.

These EGA/VGA comparisons (this is the second I've seen so far) almost demonstrate this perfectly. It's really quite fascinating.

> Is this unusual?

It is not unusual at this stage of research. What is unusual is that the EUA process has been used for a product meant for the well. Given that, it seems prudent, at least to me, to release data as if this were closer to the normal and established process.

> Who and where?

This is a really good start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irSU3a_pVsA

It was very eye-opening to me to hear a BMJ forum focused on how much we still don't know.

> Not trying to downplay it, but since it is happening under pressure (from the pandemic) since it is thus unusual it's unsurprising that there will be public criticism from inside the community as well.

You say "from the pandemic", but the contents of this leak make it very obvious where the FDA felt the pressure was coming from. They felt they were being "pushed hard by Azar and US GOV". EMA's assessment was that "Azar and still under his influence. Trump is still pulling strings on this."

It's right there in black and white: these communications aren't an optimal scientific process. They are scared of the politics and making enormous adjustments.

> There is a big difference in trying to understand the scientific results, the state of the art for the sake of understanding and between trying to somehow at some (arbitrary) level 're-evaluate' or 'check' the results and draw a contradicting conclusion. Verify whether all those science guys were right.

I don't think that's the nature of individual research on topics of safety and health in the internet age. One needn't second-guess every expert; there is plenty of solid meta-research to consider.

What I am saying is that I think I can make better decisions about my own health in the absence of the regulatory capture happening at FDA.
No, I don't, really. But they already do it, often in ways I dislike, and I can't see why to pretend the genie is back in the bottle and acting like I'm sad they're exercising that power against what I consider obviously harmful disinformation.

Why is it less prone to scale buildup? Scale comes from heating the water, which both do.

First, Jan 6 is not relevant to the broader claim, and second is that most of the people on Jan 6th came there to protest, and did not in fact invade the Capitol building.

Congrats on the transition! I'm making a similar transition but from management back to individual contributor and also changing tech stacks.
Linux has even used Github once as a backup solution for hosting the main repo, during a very short period of time.

The workflows git has been developed for in the first place has little to do with the non-git and mostly walled garden feature provided by hosted Saas, being Github or even Gitlab.com

Of course some projects find it convenient, but I'm not impressed by the embrace/extend approaches, esp when it shapes the technical practices because of workflow limitations existing for mere business needs: if a merge request is not possible from and to any host, that's really a big loss - and that's particularly important because of geostrategic restrictions (mainly in practice for now: the US "randomly" banning other countries, or the reverse: countries "randomly" banning various, mainly US, services)
We use LINE here in Thailand for business and personal - more than any other chat app. If you don't have LINE, you really can't communicate very well in Thailand.

But their technology sucks.

They don't have typing indicators. Vietnam, Japan, Thailand are separate fiefdoms, there are certain things you can't do across countries.

To open a business account you have to pay a secondary firm in Thailand who barely has anything to do with LINE.

The whole UI is super-clunky and has many bugs.

We get the feeling that they do not really care about the product itself. They keep adding lots of features for business that don't really work.

But everyone here uses it, so you really have to get on board.
The only reason to heat a water tank rather than on demand is if your electrical connection can't supply enough power for peak loads. This can be true for domestic hot water, like showers and sinks. Tankless hot water heaters exist (and are cheap), but take 3-4x as much as much instantaneous power, and can be expensive to install for that reason.

If this microwave tech has a COP of less than 1 (meaning it doesn't generate more thermal heating than you put in), then it doesn't solve this problem and better than resistive electric heating. You have the same electrical installation problems.

There may be some other advantage here (long-term maintenance?), but not power efficiency. Thermodynamics says so.

The only way to do better is to make something else colder while you heat your house, using some kind of heat pump.
Tackle the Big Problem with Hiring Workers in 2021
For instance, i go to frontpage of HN and open in new tabs the stories and comments that interest me. Its not uncommon for 15 stories with 15 comments sections (thats 30 tabs already),

Then I sometimes, open links from comments, or Wikipedia etc.

Today i have more than 50 tabs open just starting from HN.

Some stories when i read I close, but sometimes when I think i need to reread or save for later.

After the week i usually have around 150+ tabs that i have left for later, I do the triage and I either save to my notes (like interesting, os dev articles, or rust or postgre optimization tips ...) or close.

And thats just for HN.
Yeah... Anytime a paragraph starts with a dictionary definition it is rarely going to result in a good explanation of a difficult and nuanced topic.
The large sample size in cross section is not compelling to me - On its on - over a short duration of time. Because I know nothing about long term possibilities from that.

The statistics as derived from the dynamics of “how rna works” - yeah that’s compelling.

This:

“If an mRNA mutation were to make a self-replicating virus, or make something which damages DNA leading to cancer, or something wonky like that, I guess that's in abstract possible. It can make abstract proteins, and we don't know what those will do.”

Sounds astronomically I likely, but with unknown error bars. Sounds like our If our cross section test Is large enough going on long enough, we might just get there.

They have, in a way, by providing the index you use to find it. They're your portal to apps in a sense. Frankly it makes more sense to me to charge more when people find your app through the app store. It makes less sense to me that they take 15% if someone Googles your app to get the app store link. They didn't even use the app store search to find it.
It's a valid point, two thoughts:

1. There's the state of slavery today, which is actually pretty horrible worldwide.

2. There's the issue of race relations in the USA, and the historical context of those relations. In the American context, I think it's fair to focus on that context. At least, I think it's counterproductive to try and redefine the term because it deemphasizes that context.

You’re making my point. The government isn’t going to protect speech more than private companies. Be careful for what you wish for on asking the government to step in.
The problem I have with this name change, and reasoning like this, is that there is no "slave" component of the master branch convention. There is no reference to slavery. My understanding is that it's taken from the way records are made, by using a "master" copy which is copied. Should that change?

Should all uses of the word "master" be changed? Is the main character of the Halo games a microaggression? Metallica's "Master of Puppets"? Is "master bedroom" a microaggression?

Like the author said, it just feels like a meaningless gesture so people can feel better about themselves without fixing any real issues.
