>Galit Alter, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT, and Harvard, said the fast-spreading U.K. variant seems able to evade some vaccine protection, and the South African variant appears able to skirt even more. Despite that, she said, none have completely escaped the body’s post-vaccination immune responses.

Weak on facts and strong on persuasive language:

>seems able to evade

Either they can evade or they can't, there's no seeming to about it!

>appears able to skirt even more

Either it can skirt around or it can't, there's no appearing about it!

And anyway, herd immunity to these kinds of viruses comes from full-blown exposure - not hiding behind a vaccine.

After all is said and done, this is all about money and power - a great pile of public money and the opportunity to concentrate the power to run countries in the hands of a few for as long as possible.

And then too, the opportunity for academicians to puff their CVs and to ensure their place in the sun of scholarly tenure and advancement.

I rest my m'lud.
To be fair, the puzzle didn't tell them at the time of their post, I added the "must be a full match" line after seeing confusion here, and it was not in the original puzzle (people doing puzzle hunts are expected to deduce more than random people on the internet, I guess!).
I think this is an amazing idea. This needs to exist.
Sure, but the borrow checker only operates on references. Rust gives you the tools to work with raw everything, if you dip into unsafe. Memory allocators, doing this kind of low-level thing, don't work with references. Let's say you want to implement a global allocator (this is the only current API in stable Rust, non-global allocators are on the way). The trait you use, which gives you the equivalent of malloc/free, has this signature:

unsafe impl GlobalAlloc {
pub unsafe fn alloc(&self, layout: Layout) -> *mut u8;
pub unsafe fn dealloc(&self, ptr: *mut u8, layout: Layout);
}

Note the *mut u8 rather than say, &mut u8. Most people would not be using this interface directly, they'd be using a data structure that uses it internally.

Now, there's a good argument to be had about safe and unsafe, how much you need, in what proportion, and in what kinds of programs... but when you say things like "C allows you to do bulk memory operations, Rust does not" and ask about the borrow checker when talking about allocators, to someone who is familiar with Rust's details, it seems like you are misinformed somehow, which makes it really hard to engage constructively with what you're saying.
In many ways, all of the predictions made at the time in replies to articles like this have come true. Everyone is spying on us constantly; legitimate end-users are absolutely peeved off / made to suffer SaaS and activation crap, and the pirates do just continue exactly as before (albeit with a nice, NSA-provided open-source RE environment to play in...)

It could mean something objectively moral, or if you’re not into that sort of thing, it could just mean intentions that both groups in question would agree are good.
> The key to McMahon's swindle, and his successful defense in the ensuing lawsuit was that legal documents listed the height as 480" as opposed to 480'. Investors didn't seem to notice, and McMahon never verbally stated that the actual height of the building would be 480 feet (150 m).[2][15][16] The proposed skyscraper depicted in the blueprints that he distributed (and which were approved by the investors) was clearly labeled as consisting of four floors and 480 inches (12 m)

I've always found it odd that the people called "rationalists" are not rationalist. Talking about evidence and realistic priors all the time is good (they don't do enough evidence gathering though) but it is not rationalism, it is empiricism.

Surely a rationalist would be into logic and actively refuse to read studies, like the Austrian economists did.
Wikipedia is a web application. Your example is about an app.

Anything that uses dynamic pages to generate content, like wikipedia, is a web application and benefits from more structured, class based, CSS.

99% of the web is run on web applications. Whether it be Wordpress, Wikipedia, a news site CMS, whatever, they're all applications.
That kind of environment strikes me as really unfortunate and contrary to what I'd want to see out of academic work.

Still, as I read your comment though, something popped into my head: Andrew Wiles's secrecy when working on Fermat's last theorem.
I'm not sure either.
It wouldn't take Sorbet much to support both.

Sorbet goes beyond merely typing method signatures since you can add variable typing too which helps the static analysis infer more types.
Well, there was the shocking news here not long ago that some OS\360(?) backwards compatibility had been dropped. What's the world coming to.

Relevant to Fortran, there's a version of ESSL that I recall on OS\370 now for POWER9 (and doubtless 10). Scientific subroutine libraries are arguably the best example of the re-use beloved of those who haven't seen their OOP code last decades.

Another huge reason is HR salary restrictions. In large companies, a senior individual contributor cannot make more than X, while the going market rate for people in hot specialities of the day is often higher than that. Contracts are a way to circumvent the HR restrictions. Many contractors are staying for a couple years within the same company and are essentially an employee in everything but a name.

Stock trading is cheap for a variety of factors that's not applicable to crypto (eg. payment for order flow, stock lending [1]). A stock brokerage can also skimp on security because the legacy financial system has an undo button for oopsies. Finally, a 0.2% fee is relatively competitive with a "reasonable" commission of $5-10/trade (the going rate before brokerages became commission-free) as long the trade is below a few thousand dollars.

For me, what this part if the essay points to is that everyone needs to do their own work, in whatever context, and there's no getting around that.

Experts, authorities, and managers need to find the line between facilitating a process and doing the process themselves. You can't make anyone believe anything or do anything. You can only hope to facilitate the conditions where helpful beliefs and accomplishments arise.

I hope this is one significant cultural shift during my lifetime. The 20th century was about creating expertise and giving that expertise authority, which is just another expression of the dominator paradigm.

I agree; I'd say two things in response, though:

1. However good the guess is, it's still just that: a guess. Taking the standard of "evidence in a murder case", the OCR can and probably should be used to point investigators in the right direction so they can go and collect more data, but it should not be considered sufficient as evidence itself.

2. OCR is a relatively constrained solution space - success in those conditions doesn't mean the same level of accuracy can or will be reached outside of that constrained space.

To be clear, though - I'm making a primarily epistemic argument, not one based on utility. There are a lot of areas for which these kind of machine guessing systems are of enormous utility, we just shouldn't confuse what they're doing with actual data collection.
If I recall correctly, Google changed the Chromecast protocols repeatedly to disable the Fire stick's implementation because the Fire was wrapping direct video links (e.g. removing all the official YouTube UI/features) and stripping ad plays.
> Religious fanaticism I won't bother talking about

How would you characterize things like Children's crusades (and Crusades in general), Holy Inquisition, hard prosecution of every other religion and even other Christian fractions like e.g. Cathars?

And let's keep Byzantine out of this, I was talking about West specifically. West which experienced a significant population decline, wars, plagues, and which between 1st and 10th century produced very little of anything new. No big science discoveries, very limited architecture pieces - almost all churches, the (single) religion becoming the absolute focus of any artistic and cultural life. The remaining books and educated people were forced into self-censorship, as many philosophical ideas were considered as blasphemes, and Church positioned itself as one and only gatekeeper to knowledge.

If it was like you're claiming then West Europeans wouldn't need Arabic books to learn about ancient Greece achievements (as they had), and there wouldn't be an explosion of culture and education and book production as it was after fall of Cordoba and Toledo back into the hands of Christians. Arabic library of Cordoba is claimed to have had 400 thousands books, which was estimated to be more than what the whole Western Europe had at the time. In just a few decades the number of books in Europe multiplied many times, first Universities started to be created, things started moving. Just look at the dates when the first Universities were created in Europe: Bologna and Oxford 11th century, Paris and Salamanca 12th century, etc. It's not coincidence, they regained access to the Ancient sources that were lost before and that put them back in the saddle. If all the knowledge was preserved and readily available all the time as you've claimed, this peak would never be that drastic. And also there wouldn't be "a lack of historical records" if people were writing down the facts more - instead of concentrating on religious discussions.

And yes, Francesco Petrarca was the first known to use the term Dark Ages, and he specifically meant that because of the lack of great works and authors of the Classical period. But he wasn't talking about "the fewer historical records" - he freaking lived in that time and was talking about his own feelings that the culture of his time sucks. And great that he did, because he helped change that later.

And the term certainly wasn't used only by him, and not only in that context.
I think it's a smart way to make money with open-source projects. Charge for hosting and premium add-ons. For me Gatsby comes to mind. The framework will always be free but they have a build, CI and hosting platform that makes it easy. And i don't mind paying money for.
i'm very surprised to see remdesivir mentionned in this article at all... Isn't this drug officialy not working at all against covid-19 , and as such should be banned because of perfusion side-effects ? (in addition to the fact that it seems to be known to increase the amount of virus genetic mutations in people treated with it)
Yes, but people get confused. Hence why EVs should be referred to as BEVs, and fuel cell cars as FCEVs.
It goes even further than that. Image sensors don't capture images. They record electricity that can be interpreted as an image.

This might seem like a quibble, but once you dive a little deeper into it, you realise that there's enormous latitude and subjectivity in the way you do that interpretation.

What's even crazier is that this didn't come with digital photography. Analogue film photography has the same problem. The silver on the film doesn't become an image until it's interpreted by someone in the darkroom.

There is no such thing as an objective photograph. It's always a subjective interpretation of an ambiguous record.
There is speed of compilation (I did some very preliminary benchmarks and I think it will be very good) and there is speed of the generated code, there currently we just use stock LLVM. But down the road we will have special optimizations on top, just like Intel Fortran is doing. Some of the things I personally would like to have a close look on is array operations, where I've heard from many users that they are slower than explicit loops. And function inlining and other such operations.

We want to have a dedicated repository for benchmarking compilers:

I'm sorry if this has been answered elsewhere in this thread, but honest technical question:

Couldn't someone own an NFT within a smart contract, which can itself be fungible and transferrable without paying the author fees? Much like an artwork can be held as property of a shell corporation (well, an actual corporation with a single asset) and the corporation itself traded between collectors.
I think it's been common in the rationalist community for a while, in the 5-10 years that I've been aware of them.
I have had one small thing with it, if you're using the realtime preview for fancy things (one friend used it for a self-managed invitation card thing for weddings), the preview does not use the fancy fonts that are loaded into your template.

It's weird because the rest of the ecosystem is very good for almost every usecase.
It's a clever solution in search of a problem. It's like a guy I knew in school who when would suggest "oh, it's a visitor pattern!". No, sometimes a for loop is just a for loop.

Bitcoin looks like it should solve something, but it doesn't. Except makes crime easier. Just the tax evasion alone must be staggering.
Somewhat ironically I'm actually more collaborative w/ WFH because in the office there was no way to have a quick unscheduled conversation with someone. Meeting spaces were always occupied and talking at the crammed together desks annoys everyone. Even ignoring the commuting, health, or 'quiet space is good for productivity' arguments, contention for quiet meeting space is the fatal scalability flaw with open offices.

> Regulations which include language like "X% of units must be for renters making <80% AMI" appear positive, but often favor larger-scale, high-capital projects which exacerbate bifurcation in the housing market and drive even more stock towards the rental/high-HOA model, bundled with big-box retail and other commercial real estate nearby.

I get that this model favor large-scale, high-capital projects, but, given that it explicitly set's aside X% for the <80% AMI, I don't see how it is also increasing inaffordability?

Doesn't more density + some X% set aside for affordable units generally positive? Maybe we need to play around with that X% better, but what's the alternative?
I just wish bitcoin holders would realize that they're the baddies.
It's never guaranteed, no matter what payment model. There is plenty of discontinued closed-source software from way before a subscription model became a thing that everyone does, and some of it managed to stay alive only thanks to piracy. With subscriptions it's way worse, because it has to rely on a central server, sometimes for no good reason at all, and you can't even do that. It's just bound to happen that the company will pull the plug once it's no longer profitable.
Your post claims to describe a good example of political zealotry and then goes on to be one. To frame Floyd's killing by police as some routine accident is ignorant of the evidence made available to you, probably because you discounted such evidence as untrustworthy and biased. Guesses about how many die to police per year are irrelevant to whether the force used was excessive.

"but again, that's why you pay admins for"

Yes, that's the exact point I'm making. You have to pay someone to manage something like this. The point (edit: okay, not the point) of this sort of software is to try to minimize those costs, but at the end of the day you still have to pay for them, and often even more.
The caveat is helpful because there's a lot in life that you can't control. Luck plays a part in both success and failure. If you believe that your failures are solely your fault you will be unreasonably discouraged . If you believe your successes are due to you and you alone you'll turn into a jerk.

It's true that your attitude and behaviors matter. Competence is usually rewarded, and you should act in accordance with that truth. But it's not absolute. Life is not a meritocracy (whatever that really means).
And you're not arguing for whitewashing of Christian history?
Without personally taking a position one way or the other I think it’s fair to point out that perspectives on DeFi in general and AMMs in range from “the future of finance” to “scammy ICOs with Solidity code and a whitepaper”, even among people who are into crypto.

I'm also a fan of this book. Its a bit dated, but the basics are the basics. The ideas here are still widely applied in industry.

It doesn’t answer your question but Sean Carol did a very interesting podcast interview with the biologist Michael Levin recently talking about basically this subject.

My layman’s summary of it is that the way genes express themselves is dependent on the surrounding environment so DNA alone doesn’t define how a single cell or larger organism will develop.

Again as a layman I’d guess that interaction effects, false correlations, the p>n problem (more predictors than data points) etc would make finding any relations a lot harder than just running a regression.

RAII is completely orthogonal to lifetimes, for one thing. You can have either without the other.

But, I am familiar with the kind of thing you're complaining about here, and frankly the mere existence of RAII is not its cause. Working with a large dataset, managing allocation/layout/traversal in a holistic way, you just... don't write destructors for every tiny piece. It works fine, I do it all the time (in both Rust and C++).
It's worth a read, if just to consider that many of the observations made in the industry during the 70's hold true today. Wikipedia has a summary of the book[1].

Another boneheaded provision on the law is the requirement to give advance notice on upcoming changes to the algorithm to the news publishers. This is broken for both the reason of not being able to deploy 'algorithm changes' without delaying them 14 days (PDF page 23), which might not even be possible given machine learning's always-learning algorithm, and for the reason of news outlets for some reason being entitled to information on algorithm changes before everyone else in order to get a leg up in search results over anyone not in cahoots with the search partner.
