Matlab is very popular in engineering. It’s simple enough to get simple things done without needing to know too much CS.
Nothing in AI would pay a cent to a worker coop, because revenues are very small right now, it's all "potential".

So even though the expected value is (correctly, in the medium term, IMO) super high, everyone would get nothing based on current or near term revenues, which is exactly the situation VC exists to rectify. What you're seeing is the free market working correctly as more founders jump in to take VC money and make bets on their ability to execute.

Dave Herman has been a high signal-to-noise contributor to Lambda the Ultimate over the years; if you want to get an idea as to where he is coming from, looking at his contributions there [1], his slightly active blog [2], and on his now pretty much inactive joint blog [3] are good places to start.

So my experience in the US for employment is that nobody notices or cares if you have a BA or BS, except possibly in unusual cases (my school actually offered a “Bachelor of Science in Theater”). So I don’t think there’s much of a “focus” in the US. There’s a loose set of conventions which aren’t nearly as important as the actual major, and are mostly reflective of internal structures and programs at the university.

MA versus MS is different (I think similar to the difference between a M.Phil versus an M.Sc). But I’ve never seen anyone dwell much on BA/BS.
> There are other scenarios, e.g. https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2021-02-09-common-asthma-treatment... shows a cheap widely available steroid inhaler [...]

That is a good point, I should have defined the category more broadly as 'pharmacological interventions,' of which vaccines make up the biggest and best-studied subcategory (to date).

> That's ... not been shown. The Israeli study I linked to above (a report of it) says this assertion might be wrong for Pfizer for the sizable group of 16-30 ; The British think that's not true for AZ under age 30 ; many countries in the EU think that's not true for AZ under the age of 50 ; Norway thinks that's not true for frail elderly.

Yes and no.
Yes, E.g. for AZ there will be a threshold (say 30) at where Covid risk equals vaccine risk. At that point, both risks are very small, to the point that it's more dangerous to drive to the appointment by car.
No, when EMA says no AZ under 50 (in Germany it's 60) that's because for that age group we have other vaccines available. Still, even for a 40 year old female it is safer to get AZ than Covid.
For that reason current vaccines are safer for most people but not all. Even when they are not safer than Covid, data suggests they are still very safe.

> And basically, we only have short term safety data (pfizer: less than a year for 20K people, less than 6 months for the rest) [...]

I believe you do know that Pfizer/Biontech, Moderna, AZ all started in 04/2020, so we have data for 12m+. As a comparison safety data for Covid is only 6m older.

> I linked a BMJ+Science article that showed for a similarly EUAd vaccine, "Pandemrix" in 2009 that it took over a year to figure out that it was causing narcolepsy and worse than the flu it was supposed to stop.

Yes, Pandemrix is still remembered, especially in Northern Euope, and one reason why regulators are have been super careful, to the point where it didn't make sense to halt vaccination campaigns, see e.g. AZ blood clots. In general we expect side effects of vaccines to have an onset shortly after vaccination, and that has been also true for Pandemrix. However to detect two rare events, say narcolepsy and 5x narcolepsy, you need a lot of data. In the context of H1N1 and narcolepsy, this paper is super interesting [1] https://med.stanford.edu/content/dam/sm/narcolepsy/documents...

> It could be that for those 80%, that response would be enough to stop the virus before it can get systemic traction, [...]

That's not the conclusion of the paper and hopeful speculation. If you mean by 'systemic reaction' the replication of the virus in the host, it's demonstrably false.

I totally get the concern about 'unknown unknowns' but looking at the safety data you are currently engaging in lifestyle choices or are taking medication that are way riskier than current Covid vaccines.
I can understand why a lot of apartment dwellers would find it a hassle, currently.

I live Copenhagen, and I've been looking at buying a car again, due to a job offer from a company a little ways outside the city, 25 minutes by car. Due to an unfortunate combination of where I live, the location of the company and public transit route planning, that same trip would necessitate going by bus, then two trains and another bus, a little over 1 hour in total.

So with that commute in mind, an electric car would be absolutely perfect. Even a smaller model with basic range would be plenty, if only I had somewhere to reasonably charge it. As with most other apartment buildings in Copenhagen, there is no dedicated parking, so we share a bunch of street parking with the surrounding buildings. I can't even park a car beneath my apartment window and run a power cable, since I would have to drape it across a sidewalk and a bike path.

Perhaps a nearby charging point could make it work, but the nearest public charging point is around 1km away, so I'd have to plug in the car, walk home, wait a bit, then walk back and get the car, since you can't just block a charging point forever once your car is charged.

If I had a garage, carport or dedicated parking spot, I would absolutely install a charger and drive an electric car, but that's not possible when you're not the owner of the spot where you park your car.

Instead I'll probably get a hybrid of some sort, but it feels like a cop-out when I absolutely could drive an electric car, based on my commute and even the 1,5-hour drive to visit my family.

We need more charging infrastructure, especially for apartment dwellers.

"Which pretty much leaves assets that are inelastic to demand e.g. housing, stocks, art, unique jewelry etc."

Sounds like an urban legend. If the local people want the building, why not guide the helpers so they have a proper building from the start, rather than waste their own time building something shoddy, tearing it down, and building it again?

My Western viewpoint also thinks there isn't much "spec" that poorer countries follow, maybe just: if it looks like it won't collapse, it's good enough, and hopefully young people also can judge whether a building looks like it's going to collapse or not.

I believe the point of segwit is more than accounting. Essentially these signatures /spend-scripts are pruneable once the blocks they are in are old enough.

After all, if a transaction had an invalid spend script, it would not have gotten 100 blocks worth of confirmations.
> The reality is: if you compare the speed at which and the amount of new stuff being built in and atop the ethereum ecosystem to the innovation in the Bitcoin ecosystem, the difference is absolutely striking.

I'd be interested in seeing a similar such list for Ethereum or any other cryptocurrency that shows a similar pace of development.

Well it's natural that people feel it's unfair to tax them more just because they make their house nicer. It's just a very unfair tax.

I generally avoid bcc, since it's too easy for the blind recipient to hit "respond" and cause havoc.

I'm not sure what you're pointing at there. I'm aware of method combinations and method qualifiers—are you referring to being able to add a general :before/:after/:around on a single generic? If so, that's not what I mean; what I mean is vaguely similar but on the first-arg dispatch axis. Here's a toy Python example. Given:

class KnowItAll(object):
def __getattr__(self, attr):
return lambda: "yes, I know how to " + attr

We then have:

>>> k = KnowItAll()
>>> k.reveal()
'yes, I know how to reveal'
>>> k.transfigure()
'yes, I know how to transfigure'
>>> k.make_sandwiches()
'yes, I know how to make_sandwiches'

Ruby does this with method_missing instead, which is where I'm most used to it happening (and I think it's used a lot more in Ruby than in Python owing to the language-culture's higher tolerance for magic). Smalltalk used doesNotUnderstand, IIRC. One of the key secondary results of this is that you can do things like https://paste.ee/p/tUaRP, which is a toy “Tracer” class which intercepts, prints, and forwards method calls and attribute accesses (ignoring some edge cases).

If we were in CLOS, and started with:

;;; widget.lisp
(defclass widget () ((radius :initarg :radius)))
(defmethod grow ((w widget)) (incf (slot-value w 'radius)))

What I would expect for the equivalent is that, given:

;;; tracer.lisp
(declaim (ftype (function (t) t) make-tracer))
(defun make-tracer (object) ...)
;; ... further code goes here ...

Somewhere else, we can do:

;;; fiddle-with-widgets.lisp
(let* ((w (make-instance 'widget :radius 3))
(w* (make-tracer w)))
;; ???
(grow w*))

Can you add code to tracer.lisp, without specific reference to anything from widget.lisp, such that this has the effect of (grow w) but prints what it's doing? Note also that my use of slot-value above is very deliberately a ‘raw’ access. I'm here completely ignoring the “make up entirely new methods on the fly as needed” part that method_missing also gets used for, which is even more impossible in CLOS given that it would require intercepting, what, all symbol lookups…

In CLOS, the class doesn't ‘own’ the method, it provides a type for dispatching on, so there's no way to do “give me some control over every generic function so long as the first arg is of ‘my’ type”. Which is a reasonable model, but means you can't do the same thing. Indeed the flip side is that in the Smalltalk-like model, generics are not reified, and methods that are specializations of the ‘same’ thing have no ‘real’ identity to them, so you can't do a type-ignoring :around method for an ‘entire generic’. (Often there will be a superclass to attach to instead, but it's considered dangerous “monkey patching” to mess around with someone else's class hierarchy like that, and in the case of more abstract interfaces there's nothing.)

Does that make sense?

Yeah, of course Reaper also supports all types of plugins, including of course all types of VSTs (32 or 64 bits), and DX, LV2, etc.

But sometimes the thing that you need does not exist. I needed a "MIDI notes compressor" and couldn't find one, so I wrote it (the compressor brings all notes to a chosen range, so for example if the range is A3-A5, a C7 will be converted to C4).
The gateway operator/uploader still have to pay for the service and data. Node operators take their fee for the devops and maintenance. Even if the cost is spread thin, it's still there.

I'm not sure why you think building it off Skynet would be much harder. It's basically a web form going to an encryption function to upload to link generator (and a download path handler). On the backend you either buy local storage or pay for an external service which supports pre-signed S3-style uploads. Neither sounds like a lot of work.

It's missing Oracle Cloud's free tier.

Now, I don't like Oracle, their goings about with Java or their database (fortunately currently I don't have to maintain any of those), but their always free tier is solid, and I'd rank it as the best among free offerings.

I made an issue for it's inclusion, but for those who want a decent free cloud service, do check it out https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/

2 MB doesn't solve the issue, does it? Bitcoin is having exponential growth. You don't go for a hard-fork to just "double" the capacity. If the hard-fork was promising x100-x1.000 capacity, I'd imagine it being less contentious.

Haven’t learned Rust yet. I see they debated this:

let and let mut
let and var

And went with the verbose option.

Swift went with the succinct option, which I love about the language. In practice I suppose I do mostly type “let” in Swift so it doesn’t matter much

Swift, however, chose ‘func’ instead of ‘fn’, after much debate.

Those little things that are debated initially, then forever
