> If the justification investing into space/moon infrastructure will make constructing further space/moon infrastructure cheaper, then that's a circular argument

Not really. If we have mining AND manufacturing capabilities outside Earth's gravity well, we can manufacture things very cheaply. Either things that require microgravity to be made, or things to be used in space. For instance, satellites. It would be much cheaper to build and launch them from the Moon.

We could manufacture components which require vacuum and or microgravity on lunar orbital stations.

How are you planing to send that power to, for instance, the United States? Disregarding the massive infrastructure requirements, there are serious power losses.

It is almost as if "maximum prosperity" and "maximum efficiency" aren't universally relevant to everybody.

It becomes especially irrelevant if the benefits accrue unevenly, but even if people are well-incentivized, there are often other goals that are more important. E.g "My family" is a popular answer for many people. "Ethics" comes to mind, too.

If we cannot see the world if not through a lens of efficiency, we'll fail to understand it.

No. For a number of reasons. First of all, the virus uses the nucleotides (A, G, C and U, for wich Ψ is used as a substitute) produced by the attached cell to create a copy of it's genome (RNA). The nucleotides are produced by the cell, the virus does not instruct the cell to produce them. It just tells the cell to produce and assemble the proteins AND the RNA.

Second, our immune system doesn't just attack and recognize free floating RNA, but the virus itself. And different parts of the virus. First and foremost it will recognize the surface proteins (like the spike protein) because those are the things that it can see while the virus is outside of the cell. Also these are the things that the infected cells present on their surface (MHC II sites, if I'm not mistaken) to the immune system. (As far as I can understand, cells have to present the proteins they produce to the immune system otherwise they get killed. If they produce alien virus proteins that get recognized by the immune system, they also get killed.)

Interesting enough, the immune system somehow also recognizes the so called nucleocapsid protein, which is the one used to wrap the viral RNA inside the virus. (But it gets produced by the cells, so I guess they get presented on the cell surface so the immune system can learn to recognize and counter them.) I didn't look into the details too much, but as far as I can understand it's not clear yet how those antibodies (the ones created against this protein) work, because antibodies are supposed to be used outside of the cells, but the nucleocapsids are only present inside the cells and then inside the virus.

To sum it up: the immune system is much more complex, has several recognition mechanisms, the viral RNA is mostly packed into the viruses (or are inside the cells) and the viruses don't have any way to produce Ψ (or any of the other nucleotides).
Does this apply to husbands and wives as well as cars?
yes, it was clear to many people what the dynamics of this would produce, yet policy makers kept pointing to the static analysis as if it were truth (that free trade benefits both sides, conveniently forgetting that the sides are compositions not singular entities). it’s clear that the wealthy and powerful didn’t care because it was practically guaranteed to be lucrative to them, everyone else be damned.

To cut to the chase "bullshit"

I am an atheist. I am without god. I respect no external judgement upon me.

Am I pure? Have I fallen victim to the seduction of mammon and the innumerable trinkets of existence - of course I have, and accept I will until the day I die.

Do I worship myself and take excessive pride in my self-stated virtues - clearly I do, as you can see if you've read this far.

But outside of my petty rhetoric, I know I came from nothing and at the end of my life-span I will return from whence I came.

I find this comforting.

There's no game to win, no test to pass, no heaven to enter - just a feeling of solidarity with those I share my temporal-blip-in-the-light with.
> delivery mechanism: you need to take a very unstable molecule, protect it from the environment - both external, and when inside the patient - and insert it into a human cell. (This is called the "platform", and is usually developed independently from the specific payload.)

Of note, the immune system is pretty good at destroying foreign mRNA so you also need to evade it.

This article is pretty good: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/reverse-engineering-source...
Yeah, I don't think the useful discussion is whether a wise person / person with wisdom would commit suicide, or whether a person who committed suicide could be considered wise.

The useful discussion is "Is this person's way of thinking probably going to help me improve my life?"—if someone committed suicide, I would think twice about thinking similarly to that person.

To illustrate why, I'm depressed. I don't have direct control over this. But I do have some control over what I think. If I bow to the thoughts "this life is not worth living", yeah, I become more likely to slit my wrists. But if I think "I'm not going to identify with these thoughts. I'm going to eat lunch and that will probably make me feel better", I think my life will be longer and better.

Not saying you can think yourself out of clinical depression, but I'm going to be careful about what I decide to think, and who I'm going to model in my thinking.

I'm incredibly suspicious of this. People in /r/selfdrivingcars are all still clamoring for when they can finally try it, including people that live in the area. Besides that, when I google I can't find any recent test drives by the media using Waymo.

This doesn't pass the sniff test. Being able to sign up has been possible for years. The question is can anybody actually hail a ride with Waymo? Because numerous people on r/selfdrivingcars are claiming they can't.

This is basically how the Threads extension [0] works for Tcl. Tcl has long supported creating many interpreters per thread. The Thread extension exposes some threading commands to the interpreter, which lets you create a new thread+interp. You can then send messages to that interpreter, or pass it file descriptors, but otherwise they are fairly isolated (apartment threading model).

Knowing nothing about biotech – if Moderna and Pfizer were working from the same sequencing data, why would their resulting vaccine mRNA sequences be different? Even slightly?

Edit: I guess what I'm asking is: presumably these vaccines both target the spike protein. Do both of these sequences express the same protein? Or is there a "close enough!" thing in the immune system, where it can be a little different and still be targeted by the immune system?

Public leadership is a different role, which is why I have zero trust in the following organizations leadership except for technical contributions (by order of worst offenders in regard to politics outside the scope of the technology).

Mozilla. Tor. Wikipedia. Stackexchange. Linux. Python. OSI. OpenBSD. Coreboot. Ubuntu.

Neither has leaders that bring trust to their project. Many of them has caused large group of contributors to exist the project because of actions and statement outside the mission scope. The leadership of all of them should be removed and replaced, and yet the projects are at the same time still functional despite their leaders lack.

I made the decision early on in my 20s to bust ass and drive hard, and then retire when I’m 40. Then I would have all the time in the world to coast and do what I want. Trouble is, I’m over 40 now and still busting ass just to keep head above water. There is something about software that makes it so workaholism and burnout is the median, normal track.

My question is does the Johnson & Johnson DNA-based vaccine encode for the exact same spike protein, or a different one they chose to target? From this PDF I conclude both the moderna and Pfizer vaccines target the same protein.
Yes, ^ is quasiquote. The only other weird thing is that ,* is splicing, and not ,@. With that mapping, your quasiquote skills transfer.

` cannot be quasiquote because it's used for quasistrings. @ is also a notational prefix with a number of uses.

When an earmuffed special variable has to be inserted inserted without splicing, it is written , *variable* with extra whitespace. ,**variable* inserts *variable* with splicing.

obj.(fun arg ...)

is indeed a method call.

Within certain constraints, a.b.c.d stands for (qref a b c d). The elements can be symbols or compound expressions. obj.(fun arg) is (qref obj (fun arg)). The qref macro transforms that into the method calls and slot accesses. From time to time qref appears in backquote templates. The syntax ^(lorem ipsum ,var.(abc)) calls the abc method on var and inserts the return value into the template, which is wrong if what we want is for just the value of var to be inserted into the template, in order to generate a method call on whatever syntax var stands for. That can only be directly written as ^(lorem ipsum (qref ,foo (abc))).

^(... ,me.(get-sidx 'exception-subtype-p) ...)

means that we call the get-sidx method on the me object with that exception-subtype-p symbol as its argument. The return value of that method calls is inserted.

get-sidx builds a table of symbols which have integer indices, referenced from the virtual machine code. The catch needs to be able to call exception-subtype-p at run-time, so it nails down an integer index for it and generates a gcall instruction referencing it.

The symbol index looks like a vector in the compiled VM description; the VM turns it into an array which provides efficient access to global bindings: the symbol is looked up the first time the index position is accessed, and the binding is forwarded into the table for faster access next time.

You need to interact with some of these Decentralized Financial applications to get an idea of the utility of stable coins like USDC and DAI vs an ordinary dollar. They're completely programmable. You can lock them into smart contracts that are completely auditable, open source, and verifiable on chain. You can earn yield lending out your USDC on protocols like Compound (https://compound.finance/) or Aave (https://aave.com/). You can provide liquidity for other crypto pairs such as ETH-USDC, or WBTC-USDC on Uniswap (https://uniswap.org/) or SushiSwap (https://sushi.com/). You can join a lossless lottery on PoolTogether (https://pooltogether.com/). You can remit payments in USDC worldwide, instantly, with no intermediaries by conducting a transaction on the ETH blockchain.

What do you hold in highest regard in your life? Family? Truth/honesty? Happiness? Other? (Saint) Thomas Aquinas said that the four typical substitutes for God are wealth, pleasure, power, and honor.

None of those things are necessarily bad in themselves—some amount are often necessary for life, and can be be used to achieve good things—but chasing them for the sake of themselves without a higher principle to guide you once acquire them has probably caused many people problems over the course of history.

Asking yourself "what is the highest good in my life? what is the thing/princple that I hold in highest esteem? what do I 'worship'?" can be a good spiritual/moral exercise.

I'm not advocating the race-based approach, just pushing back against the idea that the advice was complete nonsense or hopelessly ambiguous.

They probably could, but what for?

They did develop BERT and use (used?) it for parsing search queries [1]. They probably use NLP models in the ranking algorithm too. But those use cases are about getting the best result possible within the throughput/latency requirements, which necessarily makes them less "powerful" than models like GPT that pay little attention to performance.

Turbo Pascal and Think C enjoyed some success in the 1980s and 1990s.

Then again it looks like those environments were simpler, more responsive, and more enjoyable to use compared to the clunky modern IDEs of the 2020s.

(And of course there were fewer free alternatives, and modern apps have to deal with horribly complex APIs, networking, concurrency, distributed systems, etc..)
Hmmm, I think the premise of the blog post is incorrect.

It is positing that the correct behaviour is to interpret 010 as octal and so is the value 8.

This is not correct. The octal behaviour comes from the original BSD inet_aton function which explicitly defines and allows Octal (and hex) notation in IPv4 dotted quad notation.
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/inet_aton.3.html

However, the RFC, while recognising what inet_aton did (Section 2.1.1), never allowed this and recommends against (see Section 3)
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-main-ipaddr-text-rep-02

3.1 IPv4 Dotted Octet Format
A 32-bit IPv4 address is divided into four octets. Each octet is represented numerically in decimal, using the minimum possible number of digits (leading zeroes are not used, except in the case of 0 itself).

I would argue that the Perl functions noted treating 010 as 10 (and not 8) are arguably correct.

But of course, now I have to go audit our use of them.

The simple thing to do, anywhere we permit customers to enter IP addresses, is to block use of leading zeros.

I'm guessing you haven't bought a lot of rocket launches.

Launches are often bought years in advance (although SpaceX is reducing that to months, it's still not days or weeks).

For payloads, they need to be certified for things like ITAR compliance, mass, mass distribution, power/thermal requirements on the pad, deorbit / debris mitigation plans, etc. etc. etc. The launch provider needs to care about all these things, since they'll be on the hook for many of them. It's not a simple relationship.
