> Vaccination is more comprehensive than natural immunity though. We've already see that the BNT vaccine offers a higher degree of protection against variants than natural immunity, or indeed other vaccines.

I have seen no evidence for either of these claims, other than assertions. If you have some, please provide citations.
The First Amendment does in fact make statutes that mandate access to forums unconstitutional.
That answer is different for everyone. Maybe the article should be “How to determine whether you should work harder”, but at the end of the day I’m not sure anyone can be convinced by an article.

If you don’t have any anxieties based in the lack of having attained something specific, then you probably won’t (and maybe shouldn’t) work hard at all.
> More than that, you misunderstand how advertisers prioritise their money. They pay for outcomes.

How they verify those outcomes, however, gets interesting. See, for example, College Humour going under due to inflated engagement metrics fed to them by Facebook video.
> SUV/CUV are by far most new models.

And are not work trucks. They also don't weigh much different from your average luxury 4-door sedan these days.

Well-civilized places like you are talking about are not really extreme environments.
I feel like that question raises the issue of trying to orchestrate some things that can't be all orchestrated at once.

Like "Well I'd like to see moderate inflation but control the stock market, oh and ..."

Usually I think governments just flip a lever in hopes of getting one thing done, maybe, hopefully.
Not to travel too far off the main topic, but I use this exact fact to demonstrate to new developers why I prefer a developer that looks things up instead of relying on what "everyone knows". When Jeremy Keith's DOM Scripting book was written many years ago, it claimed that DOM methods were much slower than innerHtml. And that was true. If we all just took that as gospel, we'd be WAY off base.

So I'll take the dev that looks things up, as there's much more possibility they're operating on more up to date information.

Consequently, this is why I also tell people to stop repeating "this is a best practice" a year or so after something is discovered. It's a "common practice". You don't have enough info to know if it's truly "best".
Something I've wondered for a long time: Since time around a black hole is frozen, how can we detect a merger? Or when they say merger do they really mean close approach?
Low inflation (far below 2%) actually makes it easier for stocks to soar as people are willing to save more money which then subsequently gets lent out in a way that ends up in housing and stock valuations. The lower inflation, the more desperate the central bank and the more exotic the policies it has to come up with. Decent inflation makes it easier to manage the economy as people cease selfish behavior.

Custom JavaScript controls can't capture the nuance of form fields (2021)
Yes, there's a lacking sense of measure in frontend and I work in a shop full of people that talk about what framework to use for a few buttons, a search form, and a result list. CSS is good enough that you can implement a lot of your UI state machine with classes as switches and scoped CSS variables available with `calc()` for threading particular derived values
Every system has some number of malicious actors. You should trust, but you must also verify. If a system designer assumes no bad actors exist, the system will be quickly exploited, which is why voluntary mask mandates and distancing rules didn't work. We have locks on doors, passwords for computers, seat belts in cars, and rules against drunk driving, precisely because of a small number of dishonest and reckless people.

My absolute favorite hierarchical note application is CherryTree (https://www.giuspen.com/cherrytree), but there's no mobile support, and looks like there will never be.

I migrated all my notes to QOwnnotes (https://www.qownnotes.org) synchronized with DropBox, and use any markdown editor in mobile. I would be happier if it had encryption, but even if it had, a compatible mobile editor would be hard to find.

Both let you mix text and media/attachments, but CherryTree is more user friendly.
"investors" includes wage earners investing their labor for wages, and also welfare recipients, who lack negotiating power to get cost of living increases.

Debtors are either homeowners or other leverages investors who are more investors than debtors, or poor folks who are going to declare bankruptcy before paying back loans.

Inflation doesn't help most people. It's a wrench in the works.
Surprised not to see more mention of this. It would make sense for an AI to "copy" existing solutions. In the real world, we use clean room to avoid this.

In the AI world, unless all GPL (etc.) code is excluded from the training data, it's inevitable that some will be "copied" into other code.

Where lawyers decide what "copy" means.
Sometimes the cost of trying to avoid that type of misallocation of resources costs more than simply paying for it.

The classic example is drug testing welfare recipients which was proven to cost more than just giving it out.

Sometimes you have to chalk some of this stuff up to "the cost of doing business."

You can, but inflation isn’t a constant across industries, regions or individuals. It’s a shitty argument to get into - but not ha I got the argument guarantees the outcome.
That was caught and the shots stopped. Millions of people have had the other vaccines with no similar bad news. If there was any kind of wide-spread problem, it would have been loudly seen by now and those vaccines would have also been pulled. There has not been.

The vaccines (being administered now) are safe.
Dropping SEO optimized results from a search is a bit of an oxymoronical idea. You'd essentially be punishing websites for simply ranking higher in search results which doesn't make sense.
Maybe I’m jumping to conclusions here but there seems to be something obvious that you and others in this thread are overlooking: not all leisure activities are created equal. Some nourish the soul or the body, some are spiritual deserts.

Video games are in the latter category. Of course you’re going to feel bad about spending your time on them. But you could instead read a classic novel, play a sport, play some music, converse with friends, keep in touch with family, etc., any of which will help you develop as an individual in dimensions that will simply not happen otherwise. They connect you with the rich tapestry of life and human society.
The money supply is a hockey stick. Of course we're going to see massive inflation. And of course lots of serious people are denying it. It takes a lot of intellectual effort to fool yourself into disbelieving your own eyes
I've seen inflation adjustments, but cost of living adjustments are far more common.
This is me. Though I didn't just learn this in my upbringing - I feel like my entire working life has been one of false promises and dehumanization, that has left me unable to enjoy anything.

I'm 47 now, have worked at 6 failed startups in a row, and can't face work, or looking for a job. I used to blame social media and hacker news, but I now recognize that too much delayed gratification and overwork have had a much greater effect.

At this point, I can't work, and can't not work. I do a lot of sitting quietly, with my mind almost empty of thought. All the processes and systems I have used in the past to overcome this are failing me. I feel exploited, betrayed and overwhelmed by alienation; genuinely broken.
NPM was born out Bundler for Ruby. Node doesn't require you to use npm, but they are bundled together now. There are other popular registries like Yarn.
I don't think you can really compare the poisonous emissions of diesel exhaust leaked materials from a reactor.

I see your point, any nuclear excursion tends to get blown out of proportion, but it does have some unique dangers.

In particular, diesel fumes eventually dissipate, whereas radioactive materials will settle and continue to be a problem for decades. Which may not be a problem if it's left alone, but anyone unlucky enough to interact with it could end up with it on their body/clothing unaware that they're absorbing an unsafe dose over a period of days or weeks.

But yes, I agree, we do need to move away from fossil fuel sources one way or another.
This is a lot harder than you make it sound. I have worked in sectors where people would worry that asking that question would terminate the interview - hospitality for one.
These claims are absurd. AGPL and GPLv3 carry on the same mission of GPLv2 to protect authors and end users from proprietization, patent trolling and freeloading.

This is why SaaS/Cloud companies dislike them and fuel FUD campaigns.
> Even if true, this novel molecule is not floating around in a body for an entire year waiting to have some side effect. They've been shooting it into people for a year and a half now. If there was something to worry about, it would have been seen.

There are lots of things we do see and we should worry about. The problem is that we can't tell right away if it's just noise, if it's a potentially rare side-effect. Then you have the problems like Myocarditis, which are clearly caused by the vaccine, which we hand-wave away with speculative "the benefits still outweigh the risk" scenarios:

So you're basically saying that if you're not a shitty programmer, you shouldn't be working directly on products? Are you a Windows developer or something?
EMH doesn't exist. People interpret a system that is accurate on average (and even then not really, it just reflects marginal expectations) with things like "efficiency" that are totally useless and irrelevant universal statements.

But I would be very careful about either saying that a certain market reflects expectations (some markets have structural issues that prevent accurate estimates 100% of the time, TIPS is potentially one of them...markets also don't price binary/multivariate outcomes well at all), or saying that this represents "the future"...expectations about the future, obviously, change more than the future (the future is deterministic but from our perspective it is probabilistic, many things are possible but only one thing will actually happen...that is markets can be so volatile).

To say this another way, was the market right in January with 2% and right today with 2.5%? No. The Fed made this mistake over and over earlier this year: expectations are anchored, expectations are anchored, inflation won't rise because the market says X (again, the market is not a point estimate, it is a distribution centered around the breakeven, and doesn't work with multivariate outcomes).
Inflation happens when demand exceed supply. Interest rates have to be raised when we run out of the ability to expand production capacity (primarily by hiring people) to catch up with demand. Having enough work to hire everyone is not a bad thing.
Just to clarify - that is false. It is generally advisable to get Moderna/Pfizer if they're available and you're a young woman but the chance of mortal thrombosis is around 5 per one million. The EU recommends getting AZ over not receiving a vaccine if that is the only option available to you[1] - though at this point there should be a sufficient supply of alternatives.

If the server burns I'll just deploy another one from scripts and restore the data, I won't need to wait 4 hours I can do it right away, I will surely be able to do that in less than 8 hours!!! However, we don't own the servers, we just rent them from OVH, so we can spawn one in less than an hour and provision it in another, so maybe the fourth time my server actually completely burns in a year I will feel some kind of fear to do 99.8 instead of 99.9 :'''( <--- these are many tears.

Funny to see my above comment get a final score of -4, people don't like us saying "well just get a cheap linux box and we'll get you 99.9% uptime" ahah and this is "hacker news"!

Not to mention the comment that was like "you can't do production without HA", I have been developing, deploying, maintaining a bunch of productions for the last 20 years and very very few of them needed any kind of HA.

Anyway, with that experience I can get you >99.9% uptime with a 3 buck/month linux box, or HA for anything above 99.9, cause that's what experience is about kids ;)
My group at NASA Ames was specifically tasked with pushing systems such as the Connection Machines, Intel Paragon, IBM SP-2 into (boring) production status. Yeah, that was a fun job. Also contentious, but hey, you want the drama. But it was noticed that a CM-5 was supposed to be visible in Jurassic Park, so by consensus we all trooped over to Shoreline Theater to investigate this. On the clock. That is team building that I can get behind. All of these systems were tres cool to marvel at. As a fresh out, I thought it was super cool that the Cray YMP had a big red switch, just like my home 386 box. And yep, attention was paid to the quality of the blinkenlights when important visitors were around.
Hedging bets - It's better to have a booster ready and approved and not need it than need one and not have it.
I think a lot of people trust the prediction now because we see inflation all around us and if we didn't have it after so much money being injected into the system lately it would be revolutionary.
The headline seems a bit hyperbolic after reading the article. The bar chart has the caption Accurate prediction of Kubernetes costs is a challenge. However, the chart shows that one in five respondents represented in the data don't bother to predict their costs at all. Over half can predict within 10%, which seems fairly reasonable even if there is room for improvement. That leaves the remaining 20% who really are struggling to accurately predict their costs with better accuracy than 25%.

The trouble with all of this is that it doesn't really account for how the respondents use Kubernetes. What type of workloads are they running and how variable are those workloads? Would the organizations struggling to predict costs still struggle using another solution if their workloads are highly variable? Are they trading fixed costs for scalability in the face of those variable workloads? It's certainly possible to set upper bounds to autoscaling and to run fixed sized workloads in Kubernetes.

Perhaps the best takeaway from the article is that there is an opportunity to develop better cost management tools or offer consulting services in this domain. I know there are a few companies out there hoping to offer services in this space already.
There it’s just a flu crowd are the same people who call every little sniffle they get “the flu“. I’ve had the flu and I was out of it. I couldn’t even make it to the bathroom on my own.
I’m not sure why it’s unexpected when it’s essentially a reframing of Baumol's cost disease. Any work that does not see a productivity increase becomes comparatively more expensive over time.
He died only a few months after that presentation. Yes out of respect and, like I said, an unwillingness to tell him directly that his proof was wrong and then to decline to host him at the event.
> If you're using jQuery, it's time to go back and relearn javascript.

I've roughly as fluent in vanilla as I was in jQuery and I still think jQuery was a nicer, more elegant, more humane API to the DOM.
What is the licensing for code generated in this way? GPT-3 has memorized hundreds of texts verbatim and can be prompted to regurgitate that text. Has this model only been trained on code that doesn't require attribution as part of the license?
> the article explicitly agrees with you that just hard work isn't enough

It does not in any way agree with me. I am saying luck is important. If that's anywhere in there, I missed it.

> Why would they promote hard work if hard work didn't matter?

Hard work is not the distinguishing characteristic. Luck is. Why promote hard work? Because someone else is working hard for your benefit.
That’s why I put old in quotes. mRNA is also nothing new, just new at this scale. People are just acting like it’s something that was just invented over the last year.
Fwiw CMU undergrad CS has a similar reputation.

There are university programs where you can coast through a degree, and others where doing that will at best leave you at the back of the pack.

It can be fun to be in a program where everyone is pushing hard but it can also be very stressful and not healthy for everyone who tries it. It is possible to live the rest of your life like that, but the vast majority of people I know who have tried it, aren't happy. The exceptions are outliers in several ways.
What you are saying is contrary to the tack already taken towards the eradication of other endemic lethal diseases and pests such as River Blindness. That example has been eradicated through much of the Americas primarily by treating everyone in an affected community with ivermectin, which has the effect of slowing transmission from all of the infected individuals in the community (including those who don't know they are infected) and does not harm uninfected individuals. With attitudes like the one you are quoting, it would never work.
My mom lives in a 110 year old house in one of the wettest regions of the United States. The walls are a bit thin by current standards, just 2x4 even though it's two stories with a basement, but it's holding up fine. Rot has never been a problem. She just keeps up on the routine maintenance -- painting about every 10 years, roof shingles every 25 years. It would still be fine 100 years from now, I expect, though I'm certain that when she passes someone will buy the house, gut it, modernize the wiring, plumbing, and insulation, and then rebuild the interior to look as original as possible. Very popular around this area.
> You would see side effects for a vaccine within six months, and we have been administering it for much longer than that.

We have now had two separate rare-but-serious side effects of different Covid vaccines: the CVT issue with J&J, and the myocarditis issue with the mRNA vaccines in children. It's disingenuous to suggest that the vaccines are "safe" merely because they've been widely administered; even the question of what "safe" means is a far more nuanced question than you're presenting. For children, in particular, two-dose vaccination with the mRNA vaccines is probably a poor risk/benefit profile. We didn't know that until we started dosing enough kids to see the rare side effects.

The phase 3 trials were not powered to detect rare side effects, which is part of the reason that they're still classified as emergency use, and not fully approved.

I am an advocate for vaccination, but it's not right to ignore these issues.
I didn’t know where the term “gold standard” came from up until a couple of years ago. I thought it simply meant top standard (and there would be a silver standard, bronze standard, etc)
If that's the case (only 0.1%), the developers must have done something that differs from other openai experiments that suggest code sequences that I recall seeing, where significant chunks of code from Stack Overflow or similar sites were appearing in answers.
>If someone buys an 8 unit condo building in 1980 and rents out each unit for a 20% profit, 20 years later they're still making a 20% annualized profit and maybe rent hasn't increased.

This doesn't make any sense. You'd expect many of your costs (utility, maintenance, etc) to go up with inflation.

>Asset inflation is inflation. That "real" inflation, also known as the consumer price index, hasn't been going up is a factor of both automation/economies of scale and an extremely bifurcated economy in which low end workers are making pennies, toilet paper is cheap, but a house in an area with a working economy costs triple what it did 10 years ago.

It costs triple, but because of lower interest rates monthly payments (ie. your actual spend) are going down. https://awealthofcommonsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/...

Inflation increases are not increases.

The P.G. Wodehouse Method Of Refactoring (2008)
Inflation doesn't help most people... until we reach full employment and it helps literally everyone.
The context of the thread assumes that we're talking about wealth. The original claim was something like, "in the US you must be in the management class in order to have a life worth living". I.e., we're talking specifically about wealth and not other subjective factors. To be perfectly clear, there are no metrics that contradict that the median American is wealthy by world or historic standards.

Maybe you're arguing that I have no way of knowing that poorer people would be envious of richer people; fair enough, "envious" was figurative language on my part.
What do you mean "add a generator for it"? Do you mean something like a templating for source code, like the C pre-processor?

I think there is a pro and a con to that approach.

The pro is that there is a meaningful and familiar intermediate representation --- the output of the C pre-processor is still C code. Another example is https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/metaobjects.html

The con is that, well, it introduces a meta layer, and these meta layers are more often than not ad-hoc and ultimately became quite unwieldy. It's a design pattern that suggests that there is a feature missing from the language.
More than half the value is letting people reach out to you when you're not actively looking. Otherwise let them use your resume.
My impression of reading [1] is that its just moving the "spooky action at a distance" to a different place.

If I see this:

<button hx-get="/clicked">Click Me</button>

My immediate question is

* What actually executes when I click the button?

* How can I debug the code that sends the GET request?

* How can I customize the GET request and add stuff like custom headers?

In the jQuery example all of that is obvious on first glance.

I feel like complexity can't be destroyed, only moved around.
This seems great for noobs or dunces to get code compiling, but I hope nobody with talent uses it. It would be like Hemingway using Grammarly.
