What are the chances of thinking you have myocarditis after reading alarming stuff on facebook?

I had chest pains a couple weeks after my second shot, had an EKG and asked about this. No myocarditis. I had torn a rib. Can you imagine how many people have phantom pains that don't get an EKG, but post to "confirm" they had symptoms? It's bad enough trying to get all these people to just get a goddamn vaccine without scaring them with shit that has basically no chance of happening, has no major long-term consequences if it does happen, and that practically everyone who eats a subway sandwich will have symptoms of.
I wouldn't even call it a side effect.

It's part of a normal immune response. Don't you notice your heart rate increase when you catch a flu?
Ah so newly created articles are "noisy" in terms of bias and over time they quiet down and approach a neutral point of view? if this is true, you should be able to show me a bunch of articles about polarizing current events that are heavily biased in the opposite direction to the ones featured in the article.

(I don't think this is possible, therefore I think you are wrong)
Urgh, what a useless blogpost. Nearly devoid of any substantive comparisons, created only to stoke the flames of fandom one way or the other.

First, no, Julia is not threatening Python any time soon. _If_ Julia ever overtakes Python, it will take a decade, at least. The inertia is just too large, and it's exacerbated by the people who use Python: Beginners who just want a big community and plentiful learning resources, and people who need large, existing libraries. These libraries and tutorials take a long time to make, and big companies haven't even _started_ investing in Julia. They probably should, and I hope they do, but in any case, it's way too early to imply Julia threatens the crown.

Second, the whole "Zen of Python versus the Greed of Julia" is misleading. All programming languages make tradeoffs in their design, Julia included. Julia has managed to settle on a design with remarkably many advantages, but there are still many drawbacks. Just go to any Hacker News thread on Julia and watch people complain about all the things Julia doesn't do well.

Third, it annoys me that some people keep saying Julia is faster than C. No, it isn't. It's generally slower, but in the same ballpark. It's fast enough that you never have to go to another language for speed, but it's _not_ faster than C.

Then there's this quote: "But in contrast to Python, you can introduce static types if you like — in the way they are present in C or Fortran, for example". This bugs me, because Julia is still dynamic, even when it has type annotations. It's just throw an error if the type annotations are incorrect. To me at least, that's not static in the same way as static languages.

Look, Julia is great. About one year ago I switched completely from Python to Julia at my job, and it's been a nice experience. But there is little use for these low-effort posts that don't really persuade anyone.

This is, just like the failure to link to a stylesheet in the feed, IMO a failure on the publisher's part. The feed should support pagination with the appropriate rel=next links in the feed. WordPress is interesting in that it supports pagination through a URL parameter (e.g. ?paged=2), but it doesn't actually advertise them...
So far events like this one only confirm my theory that sooner or later elected governments will start treating internet security similarly to offline security. Offline security is managed using the army, guarded borders, and internal policing. Expect similar measures in the cyberspace. The damage from cyber-attacks will only grow. When the damage they cause will start being non-trivial (and it absolutely will at some point), governments will start creating safe internet zones with heavy policing.
Reminds me of Apocalypse Now where colonel Kurtz explains the US will lose because in their minds they aren't fighting a war in Vietnam they're still in America.

Oil spills and leaks tend to dissipate eventually via several mechanisms. A storm will generally assist in dispersal. Given that it's the concentration of oil that is most harmful to life in the region, this is generally helpful.

Spilled oil consists of volatile and heavy elements. The volatile elements tend to evaporate, the heavy fractions eventually sink to the sea floor. (They can of course cause further damage there, as benthic damage resulting from the Deepwater Horizons spill attests.) Surface oil may also burn (as seems to be occurring here.) Some 20--40% of the mass of a slick may evaporate into the atmosphere. Some of the oil is water-soluble and will mix with the water column at depth, while 10--30% falls to or mixes with sediments on the seafloor.

Oil can also be washed onto shorlines --- beaches and rocks. Here it will mix with or coat sand and rocks. This is highly visible, but usually only a small fraction of the total spill volume. Wildlife, particularly birds, tend to be strongly and visibly affected.

At the surface, oil forms a slick. Wind and wave action tend to spread and disperse this, mixing the oil with the water column. Lighter fractions will eventually rise.

Managed responses to oil spills include skimming (booms and absorbants), burning (of concentrated oil), and dispersion (of widely-distributed oil). Skimming and burning where possible do remove the oil from the water column relatively quickly. The record on dispersants, which tend to be chemical-based agents themselves affecting sea life in the area, is more mixed. None of these methods are applicable to tropical-storm (or worse) conditions. Note that the spill in question here is far out of any possible track of Hurricane Elsa.

Many people are asymptomatic. A 5x number is likely low.

The only way to really know, would have been have worldwide, forced testing of every single person, weekly.

EG billions of test per week.

There were no tests at the start, not enough worldwide testing ability for the first 6 months, and once capacity existed, generally only people who felt sick were tested.

And that's in rich nations.
I wish a country would pass the following law:

1. Any company that makes software with low-level access to systems (i.e. admin privileges on Windows, root privileges on UNIX systems) is criminally responsible for any security breaches of its software, unless it can prove that it took all reasonable steps to keep their software safe.

2. The CEO and CFO will receive a mandatory 30 day jail sentence on the first instance of a breach with consequential damage.

3. The jail sentence will be tripled if the company downplayed or omitted to report any security breaches.

4. The minimum sentence increases by 30 days for each subsequent breach linked to an executive, and resets after 10 years of no breaches.
My Garmin (Vivosmart 4) band tracks "stress" and "body battery" metrics, which are based on your Heart Rate Variability. For the first couple of days after my first mRNA shot there were no anomalies at all, but then out of nowhere my stress levels went through the roof (and my body battery completely flatlined) in a way that I've never seen before. This lasted for 6 full days, now everything seems to have returned to baseline..

I didn't feel anything about the whole ordeal though, apart from some sore muscles in the first days. Crazy interesting to quantify the amount of stuff going on in the background without you being aware of it.

EDIT: Specifically, during these 5 nights my stress level was reportedly _unmeasurable_ for about 50% of the time. Unmeasurable is common when you are physically active (making the PPG data too noisy to properly calculate normalized RR intervals) but very rare during sleep, so this probably indicated a very high amount of irregular/ectopic heartbeats.
If you think that's in the Russian government's interest you haven't been looking at what they're up to too closely.

Russia isn't really that big a player globally (GDP quite a bit less than Italy's for example), but they've realised they can wield a substantial amount more power by just chaotically screwing things up for their opponents.

It's the same pattern in their cyber attacks, election interference, middle east policy, online disinformation spreading, etc etc. None of it's directly for their own benefit, it's purely to harm opponents.
Thanks for commenting in a more civil manner and agreeing that where most of the meat comes from (factory farming) is abysmal.

> This religious marketing isn’t helping your cause.

Why is it religious marketing? What is religious about it? It's about ethics - not religion.

Most humans not practicing slavery for example, is that also being religious? What's wrong with having moral principles? We say killing other humans is wrong. We say animal cruelty is wrong and yet a lot of humans practice or support it on a daily basis. Mostly because people don't know the reality of where their animal meat comes from and what the externalities are.

This is down to some very good propaganda campaigns by the meat and dairy industry actually.

Funny that there are things like Ag-Gag laws. What is this industry afraid of? That people would find out how horrific it is and god forbid making the right choice and not buy their products anymore?

There is also the human cost. Could you work in a factory farm? Or just a slaughter house that kills any animals whether from factory farms or 'happy' farms? Could you kill animals day in day out, hearing their screams, smelling the blood and feces?

Reports by folks who did that said they had to suppress their compassion and actually suffered from PTSD. A guest on Joe Rogan's show said he worked in that industry and couldn't last more than 2 weeks and he was an MMA guy, so could be considered tough.

> This is mostly bullshit.

Can you provide your sources? My comment was based on studies by the UN, Oxford University and other academic sources [0] [1]. Not just merely a blog post by some bloke with an opinion.

> It’s a few cherry picked examples.

And yet you're cherry picking yourself.
Here are more athletes who chose to give up meat: https://www.greatveganathletes.com/all-athletes/ - it's a long list.

Have you actually watched the documentary?

It's funny - the creator of the documentary, ex MMA fighter, actually said his performance went up. This is echoed by many other athletes.

But they didn't say they are injury resistant.

But most of us are not professional athletes, so it's a moot point. But if we chose to operate at a more athletic level, a plant based diet can still provide all we need.

If you choose not to pay for cruelty - you still have to make an effort to eat healthily, which is easier to find out how nowadays. We are not carnivores. Yes we can eat meat, but it's not required for our survival if we have other food sources.

> I need them to be healthy.

You can be healthy on a plant-based diet. Check this resource by medical experts: https://www.pcrm.org/good-nutrition/plant-based-diets/nutrit...

If people absolutely can't give up animal meat, then at least hunt or raise and kill your own to ensure that suffering can be minimized to an absolute minimal level. But guess what, most of us couldn't do that and it's not scalable.

Governments can stop a lot of those breaches if they applied financial and criminal (i.e. imprisonment) penalties to executives for failing to secure their systems.

If every CEO and CFO's first priority is "How do I not go to prison?" and the second priority is "How do I enrich shareholders?", then security _will_ be fixed. Simple as that.
Yea, this. An app like this is a total and legal potentially huge competitor to Lego. I’d wager Lego will happily pay 100 M€+ if this would never come to fruition in order to keep the new box with book flow not slowing due to this idea. The cat is out of the box however. This is disruption in optima forma.
Is this true? I have repaired a lot of computers since I were young and non of them had hardware BIOS related problems.
In general, yes, as this rapidly removes much of the oil from the water column. The results of combustion are CO2 and water, as well as soot and partially-burned hydrocarbons. The amount of light elements on the surface and mixed into the water column are reduced, though there may still be substantial seafloor contamination from heavier components or partially-combusted material which sinks.

From the videos I've seen, I'd suspect a fair amount of natural gas in the leak, which is typical of at least some oil fields in the area. More so near Trinidad and Tobago, which is not exactly close to the field in question.

I’m not in favor of this. For this to be reasonable, coming from someone who writes exploits for work and fun, you need to define all. Otherwise you’ll be unreasonably putting people in already overcrowded and underfunded jails. Instead of jail, consider a more reasonable and realistic punishment.

My wife has Garmin watch as well and had her Moderna shot yesterday. Even though obvious symptoms are very mild (muscle soreness), her "body battery" went all the way down to 0 during the night. It is the worst "body battery" result in her history. She is staying in bed today.

Interestingly, we both actually had mild Covid in December and her Garmin didn't show such a "body battery" dip back then.

When somebody catch a flu there are a list of symptoms like fever, aches… but this time I had nothing except the annoying pain of the jab. I realized almost 72 later when my heart rate app raised an alarm because I was not training but I was above 135 bpm.
I was surprised because I though the immune response of my body was without symptoms, but no, the immune system was doing its job.
That's completely false. And don't "rich nations" this, as if your political view makes a point. We know that the asymptomatic rate for covid-19 is about 20% for adults, 40-50% for children, because we actually did massive testing of exposed people. Millions of tests were performed in the US, enough to get the positivity rate in most states down to 3-4%. There were not masses of 5x the positivity rate escaping these tests. And if you think everyone had it before the testing started, you're wrong, because the hospital records would have shown it.
True but at least the US doesn't have the draft anymore so American society doesn't care much and life goes on unchanged.

I always wondered what the body does during the two weeks after the second vaccination. I mean, I'm aware of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_hypermutation, but I guess there's a lot more going on in the body and immune system. Always fascinating.
I had mild Covid in the second half of December and I still have occassional heart arrhythmias and random muscle twitching out of it - six months later.

Both of these have improved over time, but I am now on a heart medication (weakish, Concor) that I wasn't before, to address the arrhythmias. I wonder what the long term damage might be and whether Covid actually took a few years off my life expectancy.

I would certainly have preferred getting my shots before contracting Covid.
Norway lacked test capacity like everyone else early during the pandemic. We did antibody tests later to see what we had missed.

Turns out in spite of all asymptomatic cases etc the guesstimates were fairly good.

Now Norway is an extremely rich country and healthcare is (generally) excellent here, but if asymptomatic cases were really widespread we should have seen some non trivial percentage showing up in the antibody tests that we weren't aware of earlier.
From my passing birdie, Intel will still be doing TSMC 5nm, but chose to announce the far in the future 3nm first because it "sounds big," and make it look as if they are ahead of AMD to Wall street people.

I haven't heard anything certain of AMD, but they are guaranteed to do very aggressive TSMC roadmap following, being fully aware that cutting edge node capacity is bought years in advance, and that Intel wanted it for the last ~3 years.

They probably simply don't have things set in stone for so far in the future.
Speed, like is usual with hw vs software implementations of things. But the difference is these days less than it used to be, because processors spend most of their time stalled on all kinds of things and the ALU processing capacity is underused most of the time.

An interesting question for a modern ISA design would be to figure out how to make tagged words and memory work well with SIMD.
Are you generally asking how much it costs to purchase early slots on leading edge nodes?

I'm not sure if being Intel would have made TSMC jack up the price or anything. It is in their interest to get large profitable customers, and it is in their interest to take business away from Intel's fabs. TSMC might well have offered significant discounts or other special treatment to land Intel contracts.
Also, it lets you implement fixnums with zero low order bits. That is, fixnum x is implemented as x << 2 (on 32 bit machines) or x << 3 (on 64 bit machines). With this encoding, addition and subtraction that is known to produce another fixnum can be done with ordinary add/sub instructions.
Not sure it's great risks: they seem to have prepared for many cases and have very good failure prevention. I bet that flight is well within what they planned for. Great planning.

But that's definitely good enough for an awful lot of numeric work.

Personally, I kinda like Julia because it's a little closer to R, and I hate hate hate doing analytical work in Python (ML/programming in the larger is fine).

I do agree that this is a terrible blogpost though, but Julia does have some advantages.

I wanted to start evangelising it when it was 1.0, but that was not a great launch (IMO, obviously). They did it a little too quickly, before all the library authors had updated.
> The motorist told CHP that they used the antenna to get Wi-Fi service for a business they operate out of the car.

I'm very intrigued at what kind of business a person could be running out of their car that requires a cable broadband-like internet connection while travelling down the freeway. Even if it was one of the handful of valid reasons I could come up with, that dish would have been better mounted on the roof and raised far less suspicion.
When receiving the vaccination in Austria, I was told to avoid physical activity or sports for three days. The nurse told that a befriended doctor was treating a couple of patients, all of them young males, with myocarditis after the vaccination. Does anybody else have a source for that?
The article unfortunately doesn't mention this. But maybe in the US military, and among young fit males in general, such an exercise pause isn't taken.
