Yeah just in Open Water rescue course you learn that people will panic and reject all their gear, including the regulator that could keep them alive, and will start to rip your gear off and try to take you with them.

One of those things that you have to consider, particularly if you don't know the person that you're trying to rescue is at what point you're basically going to wind up fighting back and possibly intentionally drown the other person so that you survive. If the person is on the surface of the water and you have working scuba gear this can be as simple though as just descending and they'll stop trying to kill you. I've thought about the problem if you're in a cave and someone is nearly OOA and panicking and what would have to happen, but that's unlikely enough of a situation that hopefully I'll never have to worry about it.

Its real obvious to me why the kids were strapped down and pumped full of happy drugs.
Why would this not work? Its by definition a business that requires local delivery, so every potential competitor is equally affected and there is no laughing third party that benefits.
Great. Let's quickly indoctrinate them with CRT.
The purpose of the ketamine vs other analgesics is you don't need to intubate or monitor respiratory system nearly as much as you do for say, propofol.

Whoo. This guy must have gone through so much mental stress during this time.
I mean, we already air condition a lot. My guess is if an area is uninhabitable for a small portion of the year, we'll build more structures designed to convey people between buildings and their vehicles without people actually going outdoors, such that you just don't go outside when it's that hot.

As a Chicagoan, I'd like to see more built that way just for the winter...

That being said, underground is pretty efficient energy-wise, it'll just depend on whether or not that exceeds the costs of building underground, which is generally significant.

Having lived very near Death Valley, and been in Death Valley hundreds of times, especially in the summer, I can tell you the shade makes zero difference. Remember that it's almost entirely rocks, pebbles, and sand so the heat is stored from one day to the next. It doesn't get very much of an overnight reset like in temperate climates.

The hottest I ever experienced there was 124° on the big sign by the general store. The temperature sensor in my car said it was hotter, but I was mostly amazed that a Fiat and its tiny air conditioner was able to cope with 120's for a week.

As well as completely transforming many people's view of Musk (he ceased to be "the least bad billionaire" for many), the case also reflected extremely badly on the US legal system, showing that if you are rich enough you can get away with pretty much anything.

I don't think this is accurate.

If you read the abstract in phase II they gave it to a small amount of people and looked in detail how the immune system responded in these individuals. This is very granular data.

Phase III is more like "We have no idea what the immune system did in certain people - but only 0.1% of vaccinated people ended up in hospital compared to 2% of placebo" or whatever.

The important thing for the vaccine was too limit death and hospitalization. And phase II didn't tell us clear info on that.

What if they had found that half the dosage ended up in the same number of hospitalizations? There's no way to get that from phase II data.

> Elementary school children significantly increased their exploration of the dolls when their intuitions had been contradicted as compared to when they had been confirmed, frequently picking up the smallest and the biggest doll concurrently to compare their relative weight—a direct test of the claim they had been given. Preschool children rarely engaged in this behavior, whether their intuitions had been confirmed or contradicted.

Interesting study. Good to make clear that this does not apply to older children. Older children will verify any surprising claims. On the other hand they suffer, like adults, of confirmation bias. If the information fits their expectation they will not check is veracity. I guess that confirmation bias is just an efficient way of learning about the world, do not waste time if things seem to fit your current understanding of the world.

It seems fairly likely to me that dividing the dose by 100 and giving it to 100 different individuals will have more benefit to the population than giving it to 1% of a population and leaving the other 99% unvaccinated.

It's likely that had this strategy been done 6 months ago, a large number of dead people would be alive today.

The only major downside is the population may come to believe the 'vaccine' is ineffective and not trust future vaccination efforts.

Beneath a veneer of neutrality in the headline ("attack from right and left"), the article mostly attacks republicans.

The only criticism of a left-wing organization is that the ACLU doesn't defend freedom of speech as much anymore. It doesn't mention the pressure on tech companies to censor more from the democratic party[1].

If you want to write a both-sides story about censorship, a great example would be the persecution of Julian Assange, the article doesn't mention that either.

Food waste is not an issue. The whole point of an industrialized food system is that we all can eat. Being able to throw food away should be considered a good thing compared to the rest of history before the 1940s. People back then often ate what they could get and were skinny cause they couldn't eat. Obviously in a perfect world we'd consume things to the max percentage possible, but it's not a perfect world. This article comes from a pretentious first world view that forgets most of the world starved in a pre industrial era for most of their lives. Having people become obese is very weirdly a good problem to have since it's a lot easier to resolve than having to figure out how to equitably get enough food for your people to be satiated.
Yes, but that's not my point, they're of the same labor class to me. They're also literally the same labor category in Census documents or documents released by the DOJ.

I've seen a lot of people ragging on Copilot for "copy+pasting" code - does anyone have links to cases where it has done this without the user intentionally trying to generate a specific (extremely famous) code snippet?

I've seen tons of comments here and on Reddit that talk about multiple instances of entire functions being copied verbatim, but the only thing even remotely close to that I've seen is the fast inverse square root, so I must have missed a few tweets or something.
> It’s common in the construction industry to compete during the bidding phase by underestimating the time and cost of the project, then making up for it with change orders later.

This is called change order abuse. Sometimes the contractor actually has an inside person receiving kick-backs or bribes where they can purposefully underbid while knowing in advance that they will be able to make it up with change orders (which will be approved by the inside person)
I’ve had very limited experience of low/no visibility diving - it’s hard to overstate how incredibly difficult it is to accomplish anything. You can’t see anything, you can only hear your own loud disorienting breathing, you can’t feel gravity, your sense of time goes completely out of the window. It makes moving very short distances hilariously slow. You constantly have to keep yourself oriented in full 3D space. If I had dropped something 10 centimetres from my face, I may have never found it. Trying to map out alternate routes through kilometres of unknown cave system with incredible time pressure? It’s a miracle they found even one route.

Most large companies have people that deserve more credit than the sitting CEO. However, that's part of the role of CEO is to be the one people look to as being in "charge".

Musk definitely doesn't shy away from that part to his detrement (clearly he doesn't see it that way). But I'm firmly with the previous poster in that I like what Tesla/SpaceX are doing and attempting, but think Musk is a bit of a tool. The irony is not lost on me that sometimes a calmer figurehead might not have been able to lead to success a company like Tesla and/or SpaceX.

A modern CPU + NIC combination will be twiddling its thumbs on a bulk download at 10G. There's a whole sleuth of optimization and offload features between the NIC and the CPU, and they work particularly well with a low number of high bandwidth data streams.

The real problem starts when you're doing lots of small packets all over the place. Which is not something you'll likely run into at home, ever.

I don't think it is. Physicists often summarize Noether's Theorem as "A symmetry implies the existence of a conserved quantity" but really what Noether's Theorem refers to are symmetries of a physical system's action[0]. I don't know a lot about phase transitions but judging from the article and the linked references, the symmetry we're talking about here doesn't seem to be a symmetry of any action.

Show HN: A Website for the 'Ultimate Meal Planner' Airtable
Hi

I want to share a website that I generated from the 'Ultimate Meal Planner' airtable.

Site: https://recipes.listws.app/
Airtable base: https://airtable.com/universe/expf1Eqp1BC0kvs86/ultimate-meal-planner?explore=true

I am using an airtable site builder that I am working on https://table.listws.com
If you have an airtable that you want to convert into a website let me know, I am continuously doing site like this from an airtable.

Please let me know any feedback, thank you!

The code source is setTimeout(…, random()). I’d say, even if it takes long to build the neural network, it is very CPU efficient.
The risk/benefit model is broken here: Some risk and no benefit. I'm not going to even address the cost - the benchmark for benefit is incredibly low. All BioGen needed to show was that their drug delayed progression of cognitive impairment for a few months, and they couldn't do it.

The FDA acknowledged as such in their conditional approval, weakly suggesting expanded access might allow BioGen to demonstrate this in a larger population. This would lead Medicare to pay for an extensive, unethical study fueled by nothing more than the hopes of desperate patients and their caregivers.
Because its my (and many of ours) code they have "learnt" from, stripped the license and are intending to sell on. When we listed code under MIT or GPL we meant those licenses, they weren't random and Microsoft just seems to be completely ignoring the reality of reproducing those works which are covered by those licenses, they are making code private and paid for that is open source. Not OK.
oddly, when i was an actual developer i seemed to get more of these, "let's just talk" interviews.

when i started doing dev-adjacent roles like support or TAM or sales engineer, that's when i started getting stupid fucking programming challenges and related bullshit.

from my side, i like the q and a format because i can pretty quickly tell how fucking stupid someone is -- within 5 minutes. and i don't need people around me to be geniuses, but working with C people or pikers -- just never been my thing.

i'm not 'against' those types of people - i've def been beaten down into those types of people (work styles?) at positions - but in terms of wanting to live some type of a challenging-in-a-good-way work lifestyle, it's just not for me.

most of the coding stuff i did was pretty....easy-ish java standard fare stuff -- so nothing really deep in algo or just anything you would have to be actually really good at -- the toughest parts of say any new job would be...could you pretty quickly ramp up into some Java codebase with a few thousand classes, abstracton on top of ridiculous factory abstraction, and start getting things done.

so, if you actually knew the language, knew all the standard idioms/design patterns, knew all the basics of common dev touchpoints like db transaction/error handling/scaling/etc., you'd be fine.

in my case, if you said you knew J2EE, then you'd have to be able to talk about all the basics of the common J2EE tech (jdbc/ejb/servelets/jsp/etc.), servlet/ejb lifeycycles, maybe some stuff about multithreading/static variables/scope/etc.-type stuff -- not necessarily writing anything threaded yourself but i mean if you knew the basics of how you could do that syntax-wise then great.

i'd always get some performance-related stuff -- often as a starter question to find out if they had messed up by inviting you to even get to this stage - so, like, for Java-world that might be 'What is the diff between a hashtable and hashmap, and why use one v the otehr?' or "What's up with String and Stringbuffer?"

don't know if this is what interviewers were thinking, but i think part of it was diving at the "Is this person actually gd curious and interested in quality - achieving it or at least striving for it?"

for the higher-level positions -- dev lead/architect -- how do you decide on tradeoffs -- under/over-engineering-type questions. i.e. how much tech debt is acceptable?

outside of that, maybe attitude -- if you think you might want it, i'd be curious and ask about what challenges they're facing. "Are there any performance issues you're facing right now, or just design challenges, that you have some ideas about but you don't know which way you're going to go yet?" Or maybe you went one way and now are having second thoughts? Like maybe you went cross-platform and now you're like "****!" :-D

start out with a 'Hallo' :-D
Absolutely not. I waited a while and was satisfied with my progress in career, marriage, and life (probably makes a big difference on outcome). I also had extremely low expectations of what it would be like, which has only served to make the experience all the better.

I was 33 when I had my first and then a few years later had twins. Was scared as hell, didn’t want to proceed, but so, so glad I did. Never been as happy in my life as now.

The love you feel is so intense it’s scary. And it only grows. Adds a whole new dimension to your life. I think people who have the means to raise children and categorically say they don’t want to might be missing out.

There are good reasons for not having them (one I’ll get to below), but if it’s to travel the world or start a company at the expense of NEVER having kids (I don’t mean just holding off), what a waste of a life. I know that’s harsh, but that just goes to show how much my kids mean to me.

Some people shouldn’t have children, even if they have the means. If you can’t accept raising an individual with separate desires, motivations, and values from yours, you’re not going to enjoy the experience. A lot of people expect their children to be chips off the old block, and in many ways they are, but in more ways, they’re not.
I think though the overly positive replies in this thread are a bit... misleading. And frankly read a lot like something extremely religious people would write about their newfound religion. It doesn't read like rational discourse.

Of course, once you already have children, you are not going to be regretting it. It would just feel horrible to do so. The children, no matter how difficult they might make your life, are innocent little creatures, and you make it work - what else are you going to do? And the effort you put in, helps with the bonding. And of course you try to focus on the positives and forget the negatives - for your own wellbeing and sanity.

What's misleading is that the people replying are not considering the counterfactual in good faith. What would their life be like had they not taken the plunge? After all, it probably wasn't all that horrible before they made the decision either. Could it be that other options would've made their life better? Perhaps, the stress of children had led to deterioration in their relationship with their spouse, or made both of them age a lot, and they would've been able to enjoy each other's company so much more without. Perhaps it meant they had to give up some of their childhood dreams. Perhaps they had to cling to a job they didn't particularly like (or, indeed, hate) because they could no longer afford to take risks. Perhaps they no longer had the time to grind leetcode and get into a FAANG. Perhaps they would've got the benefits of having children and fewer of the downsides by caring for their nieces and nephews instead, or by just getting a cat.

Otherwise it becomes meaningless. You could ask someone that had children at the age of 16 if they regret it, and you would probably get the same responses as in this thread - 'of course not, best thing that ever happened to me; yes it has been tough, yes it meant I had to make sacrifices with my education and career, but I wouldn't trade the experiences with my child for anything in the world'. Yet we all recognize that having children at 16 is not the smartest idea.
Nice to dig even deeper.
> But it's still shocking to me Apple Maps would suggest such a freaking route in the middle of a snow storm.

I think you’re significantly overestimating Apple’s AI efforts if you think that’s shocking.

However, I’m notoriously bad at predicting future tech, so what do I know.

The cheap ones (including the one you mentioned) are useless because they have 10Gbase-T. You need SFP+ slots to hook up your provider's fiber.

Which is kinda sad too because implementing 10Gbase-T is more expensive to implement and more expensive to run (because the 10Gb-T PHY burns power.) Sadly, there's not enough knowledge about this going around.
This is a well-understood phenomenon. I believe that a similar phenomenon occurs with vocaloids (which is basically text to speech software that is designed to sing songs.) I had no idea this was a thing until I happened to meet a person who is a vocaloid connoisseur.
