We have billions of years for that. Everything else we can deal with much easier here than we can on mars.

We'd be living underground on mars, any sort of terraforming possibilities are in the far distant future, possibly never.
Yes, there are certain strains that wouldn't work as vectors. HAd26 (used in J&J) has not shown reduced immunogenicity based on studies conducted. It was used in other vaccines previously, and that hasn't impacted its performance here. While it's not a problem now, the situation might change in the future, so you were right to ask the question. These issues of pre-existing immunity are taken seriously inside vaccine companies too.

(Note that while I work in biotech, I'm not claiming to be an expert on this topic, so don't take these as definitive claims of truth. People shouldn't be taking HN comments as a source of any kind of medical advice anyway.)
Pardon my elementary understanding of economics, but I own a lot of Taiwan Semiconductor stock, and I would have thought the answer would be for them to raise their prices until supply meets demand, and that would probably not result in luxury cars being priced out. Also would help my TSM stock quit languishing as it has been doing for a while now.
> The point is that the technology for long life laptops has been ready for a long time.

You're desperately moving the goal post to ridiculous places. It's like claiming that walking on the moon is supposed to be considered normal just because the technology has been ready for a long time.

That claim is irrelevant, isn't it? I mean, what good does a "technically it's possible" claim do if a) no, it's clearly not possible outside exceptionally rare circumstances b) the average consumer device is way behind any of those outlandish claims.
Ask HN: How to get from your first customer to 10?
Hey HN,

Some context to my question:

I'm working on a monitoring service that currently supports uptime and page speed monitoring.

It originally started in 2018 as an idea to monitor GraphQL queries for correctness, but that idea didn't take off, and I pivoted to page speed, and later uptime.

I did a quick rewrite (https://onlineornot.com/building-saas-in-one-week-how-built-onlineornot) a few months ago, tapped my professional network for anyone that'd be interested, and managed to get my first sale.

I noticed most of the "no" responses I got ended up using more established solutions in the space - so probably weren't the early-adopters I was looking for.

Do people tend to go deeper into their professional networks to find early adopters, or is there something I'm missing here?
Author here. You should be able to first download OpenStreetMap tiles in PMTiles format (http://github.com/protomaps/pmtiles) and then write out a new augmented tileset in the same format. It's a use case I want to have first-class support for, but the tooling doesn't exist yet.
SKL being first does not afford it a monopoly on ML object design. Nor should other libraries necessarily seek to emulate what came first (or support pickling...)
More like 1 in 500k. The CDC reports that as of April 21 there have been a total of 15 confirmed cases of this blood clotting condition among nearly eight million doses administered. You probably won't find an issue that rare if you test 40k people.

I’m sure this is related to the post-brexit loss of the ECMWF, and their associated supercomputer. I don’t know how much the UK relied on them, but they were a very cool group of people to meet.
They are? Just search for dead/abandoned mall videos on YouTube. No shortage of malls declining.
Oh I assumed that “magin” was an intentional typo as part of one of those trick questions..
Some of us do care. There’s a reason the Catholic church is opposed to IVF.
I don’t necessarily think AGPL is the best license, but I am very glad it’s AGPL catching on and not SSPL and friends. I’ve spoken my piece in recent threads already, but I just think this is more friendly to the FOSS community even if it’s not perfect.
Have the games scored by impartial evaluators who know the rules well. This should work well, provided the games are recorded on video anywhere.
Yah, I've tried that. If you read the thread I linked everyone in it (who has not resolved their problem) has tried it. Right now I opened chrome back up and it's sitting at 186% cpu with one tab open and no extensions.

Yes it’s that bad unfortunately. Ok, so you got you kernel working and it performs well. That’s quite an achievement, because most tooling is atrocious, and profiling tools nonexistent for many platforms.

Now you want to run this on the users machine. You are of course using an ancient OpenCL version, because very few vendors updates their OpenCL drivers. Situation has gotten so bad that the consortium had to basicallly roll back much of the newer standard because nobody sipported it.

Anyway, the users GPU has the right capabilities and should run your code fine. But it doesn’t. If you’re lucky, you get an error message. Often you don’t, either you get a cryptic error code with zero Google results, or the OpenCL compiler just crashes. That actually happens quite often.

In summary, if you want to support many different GPUs in different OSes, you’re in a world of pain, because everything is half-baked.

There was a letter by the Blender devs to Apple a couple years ago to get their shit together and fix their OpenCL driver. I don’t think they ever did, just deprecated it and told you to use Metal...
Fabbing older chips is not a particularly fruitful business for a startup, and the established players have their hands full. Some face water shortages. Others have suffered major factory fires. And all would need several months at a minimum in order to bring on more capacity.

Part of the problem is that when the supply chain is long and fragile, a perturbation anywhere affects customers everywhere. Kulicke & Soffa has said that they're having trouble getting chips for their machines. That's problematic because they are a semiconductor equipment manufacturer.

The result of shortage is that lead times get longer (not unlike how packets queue for a lossy channel), incentivizing chip customers to order more than they need. This, in turn, further constrains the market.

The trailing edge lithography scanners don't get up to the 180 tons that an ASML EUV machine might weigh, but they're still large and you can't exactly get them with Amazon Prime two-day installation.

Acer and AMD said the shortages would ease this year, but TSMC says they will continue to next year and Intel said yesterday that they think it will take a couple of years.
Thanks! I'll take a look. I've long since abandoned the browser but I like submitting bugs.

We do still have mosquito abatement programs too.

I know here in Louisiana the local abatement program has trucks that spray synthetic pyrethroid chemicals (resmethrin, sumithrin and prallethrin) at night and uses an organophosphate (naled) from planes.

And residents are routinely urged to be aware of and eliminate standing water on their property.

We just don't use DDT anymore -- we almost wiped out our state bird with it.

Edit: I have to wonder how much housing changes also mattered. With modern air conditioning and well sealed homes it's fairly rare to have mosquitoes in the home at night.

Add it to Open Street Map. Google was missing a minor pedestrian bridge in my area a few years back. I added some sidewalks to OSM connecting it up, and Google routes started using the bridge as well. Of course it might have been a coincidence…
Software updates on different versions?
Last I recall there's quite a lot of legislation regarding genetics stuff, too much in my opinion, believe thats why you usually here progress like this happening in other countries
The author isn't dismissing the ethical issues. He is saying calling it "unnatural" in and of itself isn't grounds for making such a claim, as the world is filled with unnatural yet ethical things. In fact, he goes on for a few paragraphs touching on these more substantive issues.
The Mac and the iPad aren’t meeting in the middle yet
That's pretty mean.
This article is really well written, and does a great job of introducing the problem all the way through to a really simple solution.

I feel something like this might be good as a first class citizen in git (it feels like a common problem, and I don't see how it's solved by some sort of Github feature)
Only if they're modifying the source code, which would be a tiny minority.
In our current "age of big data" is there a source of data that would show the number of malls as a function of time? It would also be interesting to know the trend of vacancy in malls over time, and things like average number of outlets in malls over time. Where would someone mine data like that?
Why are most software engineers so terrible at basic comprehension? Licenses are just a set of instructions, how do we consistently fail to follow them?

You can't relicense something that is Apache 2.0 as AGPL. You need explicit approval of every single contributor (whose code still exists in the project).

You can also attach the AGPL, but it is not a superset of Apache 2.0, which for example contains constraints that require you to clearly indicate each and every time a file is modified.

Incidentally, the Apache 2.0 is a terrible license for modern open source, and it probably shouldn't be used.

EDIT: To people responding, my advice is to read the licenses. Don't read a dot point summary, read the licenses. Seriously, read the licenses!

Sorry, this drives me a little mad.

Of course you can include Apache 2.0 code in an AGPL project. The point is contributors contributed their code under the terms of the Apache 2.0 license. To use that code, you must meet the terms of that license. You can slap additional requirements on, you can't remove requirements.

In fact, one requirement is the very fact you can't remove the license text itself!
Compared to other vaccines, 40,000 is "kinda untested"
Not an issue. If you modify the source you'll notice if you try to keep upstream. If not (as in you don't modify) then it doesn't matter anyway.
250 mile range is laughable for that price.
yes, but the 'electrons' are actually those 1x1 lego disks and the output image is also rendered in lego.
I agree, “!” is something easy to miss. I prefer “!=“ mostly for this reason.

I am just surprised I’ve never seen this in any code base before.
Agreed. The more popular new shopping areas I’ve been are outdoor “malls”. Shopping mixed with outdoors, and as you said greenery, art, music and novelties.

A lot of indoor malls are dying. I can remember when the same empty places exploded in the 90s.
The problem is Gresham's Law as applied to battery packs.

A new EV owner decides to go on a trip and make use of the new swap stations. Their battery pack is brand new and charges to 100%. When they swap it, they're likely to get a 2 or 3 year old pack that only charges to 70%. It was intentionally exchanged at the swap station by an owner who was willing to roll the dice to try and get a newer pack from someone like our new EV owner.
"Unnatural" is a strawman that's trotted out whenever "professionals" get caught doing something with the potential for profoundly negative consequences and reasonable people point this out. "Oh I see, so you don't like SCIENCE. Why don't you go back to the woods and bang rocks together you SCIENCE HATER."

Science is an amoral tool. It's up to humans to figure out how to use that tool properly. Personally, I'd say there's nothing wrong with lab-grown organs, but creating them via a hilariously dystopian method reminiscent of Michael Bay's "The Island" is almost certainly a Very Bad idea.

Every day the people running the world seem to be trying harder and harder to become the cackling comic book supervillians that conspiracy theorists have always made them out to be.
I don't really know much about optimizing storage costs, But You could learn from storage giants.

Example is Blackblaze storage pod 6.0 according to them it holds 0.5PB with a cost of 10k$, you will need about 20*10K$ = 200K$ + Maintenance(They also publish failure rates) , The schematics and everything is in their website and according to them they have already a supplier who provides them with such devices which you could probably buy from. Note: This was published 2016, they probably have Pod 7.0 by now so cost may be better.

Author of OP here. Is this information that you're interested in contributing, and is appropriate for, OpenStreetMap?

The end goal is to build a system that lets you customize the tileset to include any node, way, relation, or tag in OSM. This gets quite tricky when considering automated cartographic generalization (how such features will appear when zoomed out) but it's one of my next steps.
You're free to express your own revulsion, of course. And so do furries have the rights of free speech and free expression.
It's interesting I was saying the other day to my wife that Google home and the like needs some sort of an AI camera to truly be more helpful and she was aghast at the idea. Maybe we need something like this with a home server so that it is not in danger of being abused.
Many companies have outright internal bans on AGPL or contractual bans imposed by their clients.

I mean, this hardly seems true. Sounds like Ian Serotkin is looking for a hot take. From the .doc on the VDOE website itself [1],

The implementation of VMPI would still allow for student
acceleration in mathematics content according to ability
and achievement.

Local school divisions will still have plenty of
flexibility to create courses ... School divisions will
also be able to offer advanced sections and acceleration
through the courses.

So, is Serotkin wrong or what?

You know you can stop in a gasoline powered car and take breaks if you want or feel tired. But I cant imagine being forced to take an extra 1-1.5 hours whether I want to or not.
The reason seems to be provincialism and extrapolation of their lived experiences as universal. One thing I noticed with relatively little travel in my life is that the one thing you cannot tell easily is if something in your home region is common in other places.

The suit may well have a stake through its heart on the west coast. It never died in the east coast mega-metrapolisis group from Wall Street/NYC and Washington DC setting the norms.

Similiarly suburban malls are generally either sickly at best or maybe a bunch of high end outlets /might/ survive or could go the way of strip malls in a few decades. Urban malls tend to be vibrant in comparison as the limited big box store viability means that if it isn't viable to do a particular store at street level retail small stores for whatever reason the mall is the perfect place to locate them.
Is there a good way to quantify? There are also endless youtube videos of all manner of abandoned structures in Detroit, but I don't know that extrapolates to things outside of Detroit for example.
Maybe. I had a neighbor who unplugged their electric dryer and ran a cord out the window to charge their Model 3.
Even AI?
Malls seem like the perfect mixed use type property. Stores on 1 floor, offices on 2nd floor, then 2-3 floors of housing. 1 of the big department stores could be a grocery store.
One should use JMH to microbenchmark Java.

And frankly, the benchmark doesn’t really make sense. EnumSets are predominantly used for passing some sort of config flags in C-style. So it gets created only a few times, unlikely to ever be a hotspot. So counting the memory requirement would have been wiser, but it is trivially one object and an object-reference vs an int. If you have many many objects with such a field, then it may make sense to go back to ints, but yet again, used predominantly as a config “format”, that one singleton Java class will not be better off either way.
If a large pool of people refuse the vaccine, they will eventually breed variants that make the vaccine less effective. To wipe out Covid, we need enough people vaccinated so that the disease dies out (doesn't have to be everyone), because the virus can't find enough new people to infect.

And a small fraction of people who are vaccinated won't develop a proper immune response, so they are still vulnerable. Nevertheless, once enough people are vaccinated it will die out.
More proof that we should all be listening to Alex Jones.
Sold my truck early last year, oops.
Well, I'm being facetious. I read the post and the author seems to be a good person and intelligent. I just think furries are gross. I would still be friends with one.
In past shortages, that demand crash is precisely what happened. Considering how long a new fab takes to pay for itself, and how thin the margins are in fabbing trailing-edge chips that have been around for years, it would be a major risk to lay out more capex than your road map from 2019 suggested. Meanwhile, if you just keep doing what you're already doing, utilization is high and prices are rising so you're guaranteed to turn a rewarding profit. There's not a major private-sector incentive that would justify costs whose amortization would require consistent demand for several years.
Yeah pickups and SUVs tend to cost more (and have much higher profit margins) than sedans and they're everywhere outside of NYC/LA. I would not be surprised to find out pickups and SVUs out number sedans in those areas.
What about furries do you associate with grossness?
If you want to do it that way, it's much less than 2047 bits for RSA, though. Also compare with AES keys for example, which can be much shorter while still being harder to crack.

I think the quote used for the title is not really representative of the meaning of the letter. I like the very next paragraph more.

"...a man must choose a path which will let his ABILITIES function at maximum efficiency toward the gratification of his DESIRES"

and then

"he has not dedicated his life to reaching a pre-defined goal, but he has rather chosen a way of life he KNOWS he will enjoy. The goal is absolutely secondary"
It's obviously not well tested enough to not get pulled out of use despite the pandemic, so more testing as we move forward seems appropriate. OP has a point, although the form of testing will probably be one less likely to cause people to avoid the vaccine.

Also, what are the odds of a 1 in 10k concern not being picked up as such in a 40k sample size? It would look like background noise if it was only one case in that particular group.

To be clear, I am very much pro continuing use of the vaccine, but it's not the case that every possible 1 in 40k or less concern has been discovered since we had one such group go through a controlled study. Since the odds of COVID causing serious problems are far, far higher than that, it is still a win, but we should of course learn as we go.
I follow something very similar, though I do merges starting with F1 -> mainline, then rebase F2 on mainline and merge, then rebase F3 on mainline and merge.

This is because the earlier feature branches are usually more "done" and I'm still working on the later ones, so don't want to wait until they are all done to submit PRs and merge them from the tail.

I also squash my feature branches before posting PRs, so there's only a single commit, which avoids the rebase issue when branches get new commits. If there's PR feedback for an earlier branch, I'll make the changes, squash (or amend) the commit, then force push that branch. I'll then rebase the later branches to propagate the change. If you have re-re enabled the later rebases are simple.

This works well for me, usually I don't go past F2 or F3 in practice, which is small enough # of branches to manage all the rebasing by hand.

Overall this is a great doc/explanation, and I love the visuals.
For one thing, the CDC recommends it in their FAQ.

From https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/faq.html :

> If I have already had COVID-19 and recovered, do I still need to get vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine?

> Yes, you should be vaccinated regardless of whether you already had COVID-19. That’s because experts do not yet know how long you are protected from getting sick again after recovering from COVID-19. Even if you have already recovered from COVID-19, it is possible—although rare—that you could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 again.

Another thing is that, although it hasn't been scientifically studied yet, there are some reports that getting vaccinated has helped some COVID long haulers with their symptoms:

The word unnatural has more connotations than simply "artificial", though. That's clearly the meaning here.
Define "care" for. Stuff them into a box in the basement? Caring for physical media is quite obvious and easy to research in 5 minutes. To care for digital goods you need a computer to store them on and make backups. Backups mean choosing a backup service. These all require accounts, passwords, and security. Backups require the Internet. How good is your Internet service. Where do I get DRM-free digital goods?
