Excellent tv show. They still do Ted-fest on Craggy island where people come together (Covid probably made it skip 2 years now) to celebrate it.

The question I'm interested in: What are the general cognitive deficits in the population caused by disease?

The evidence I've been reading the last decade+ suggests that disease is much more damaging than is generally acknowledged. But, as shown by the coronavirus, the costs of stopping (or, more realistically, delaying) them are huge. I'm wondering if, in my lifetime, we're going to see a plan for dealing with Herpes.
That switch has been there for a while, no?

Mine was already off, for all it matters
Another selfish question: do we know if this cognitive deficit is also found in teenagers who contracted the virus?
It’s clear that we’re not necessarily talking about true metaphysical objectivity here or whatever; we’re talking about reviews that approach the game on their own merits and are at least conscious of the author’s own biases. That’s absolutely attainable without a whiff of ridiculousness.

...the flip side: like all the best criticism, literally the least interesting thing about these essays are the final judgments the author lays down.

This are indeed separate effects of surveillance.
For most people surveillance does not affect them, if they are not consciously aware of it all the time.
They might know it, or remember it, from time to time.
But they fade it out.

It is like the backrest of your chair. You just recognize it, if you focus on it.
Most of the time, you don't. So the question is, do you sense it all the time, just not being aware of it?

But after all, just because Google will not turn the collected data against you at the moment, it does not mean, they won't in the future. Or some of their contractors. Or some third party instrumenting google. Or some regulator ...

It works if the "AR" is just using the real world as a kind of backdrop and not the main visual elememt.

If you are using it the other way around as a kind of real world view with only a few AR elements on top it gets old pretty quicklY
Absolutely false.

Regrettably cynical view but I’ve seen first hand 3 people use long covid symptoms to extend pandemic related benefits which are paying at a rate approximate to their past/current jobs.

At both the micro and macro level there are perverse incentives beginning to form that will make this thing roll on longer than it has too
Why does it have to be web-based? There are public rental systems that can be unlocked with a phone call (or maybe even SMS). Not every solution to a problem needs to involve a computer on both ends. Of course it's nice to have the web or app solution in addition to that, but it really shouldn't be the only way of interacting with such a system.
There seems to be a limit on how much konbu could be realistically consumed. And in Japan, they probably already hit that limit.

I mean it is definitely eaten, just not that much of it. And I doubt consumption could go considerably higher, even if the price were artificially lowered by subsidies.

Now as you say there may be other reasons to grow it, I don't know enough about it.
I don’t think we’re disagreeing, it’s just at what point do you try to pick up the threads of history to try to begin to understand things?

One of the most fascinating things I find of our history is Linear A & B and Minoan civilisation - apparently wiped out by the eruption of what is now Santorini. You just gave me a few new threads to chase with the loss of Greek literacy - my previous understanding was that Minoan civilisation was poised to dominate the Mediterranean prior to them being wiped out and the vestiges eventually coalesced into the greeks, with the minoans acting as the seed civilisation. (With aggressive abbreviation and many potential mistakes for the pedants out there, I do not claim to be a authority here, only a fan)

Another thing I find fascinating is how all the tribes of the Italian peninsula basically organised their cities around a forum with similar architecture and similar god worship well before the romans dominated…. As well as the fact that prior to the Punic wars, Rome was really in doubt as to whether it would dominate the med.

History is amazing and I truly believe that by better understanding it we can better understand ourselves, so often I find myself reflecting that had this element of history been better known then perhaps we could be avoiding this particular aspect of human behaviour… there is very little that is new under the sun
Congrats! You are doing fantastic. Thousands of debbie downers here, pay absolutely no attention to them. Keep doing what you like, strengthen yourself physically and mentally and if you need to have a second job while you get your first break-away success so be it.

Just a small correction, "Yerba mate" is not the "coffee of south-america" Coffee is the coffee of south america,i.e. by far is a more popular drink. Mate is huge in Argentina/Uruguay and perhaps Paraguay , only regionally in Brazil and very niche everywhere else in the region. Coffee is as popular as it can be everywhere else in the world where the drink is liked.
> "got caught" -> voluntarily disclosed

The first disclosure I could find insisted on exclusively collecting MAC and SSID. They also tried to push a "single developer" narrative in updates to it before the FCC investigation (involving fines and subpoenas) turned up several emails and a whitepaper approved by management that documented the whole war driving setup and possible use cases for the collected data.

Ancient Greeks were Indo-Europeans, though, unlike any of the contemporary Ferticle Crescent cultures. In many ways that does make them very much western, e.g. their invention of vowel graphemes was one that other western peoples such as Latins/Romans who were also Indo-European and needed them as well could take advantage of.
There's growing concern from the pro lockdown lancet that people will try and move past them.

There's never concern about consequences from lockdowns, virtually mandatory vaccines on trial until 2023 (through coercion and segregation), delays in any other health ailment, etc.

In many places around Europe we no longer have freedom nor the constitutions matter. We're looking at this type of hygiene theater for years to come and people keep bringing up the likes of the Lancet and Sage to keep the fear mongering and pretend a zero covid at any cost is possible while increasing dystopian measures.

Compare the hailed Australia/Israel/New Zealand dystopian futures with many states in the US (like Florida/Texas) that didn't succumb to the dystopia through fearmongering.

2 weeks passed many times. It's now time to stop the damage that's being done in the name of "protecting people". It's not that different from the security theater after 9/11. Just because you DO something doesn't mean it's a good thing.

Edit: I know this will get downvoted as it's par for the course of anything in HN that doesn't toe the line of more LDs and hygiene theater (and US based partisanship) but this is for those who are disenfranchised and are not interested in petty left/right divisions and more to stand up against increasing authoritarianism and apartheid. Specially in some European countries.
It's all really stupid, actually.

The competition for the best schooling so that you can get the best job can indeed yield significant benefits for the winners. The private sector judges prestigious universities to be high-value; those universities use SATs to judge which students are high-value; and students judge universities as high-value based on their perception of what the private sector values.

All of this is apparently a filtration system designed to find the best and brightest candidates. Presumably, as many have mentioned, these are people with high IQ. And indeed, high IQ people are extremely noticeable when you are around them. They are frequently faster, more incisive, and have a knowledge base that is both deep and wide.

...And many of them are unproductive, valueless fuck-ups with poor temperaments for almost any work requiring a social component (i.e. almost all work). They have substance abuse problems. They have personality disorders. They lie. And many of them are also wonderful people.

I'll take a medium-bright, tenacious, responsible worker with a degree from a state school or community college any day of the week over some moneyed primadonna who is too busy trying to display their own cleverness to focus on the task at hand.

All of this judgement is stupid because it discounts character. Medium aptitude coupled with hard work can and does produce excellence. Focus, care, and attention to detail are at least as important as intelligence. The filtration process closes doors for these people.

Lastly, though this only an anecdote, anyone who's worked in the professional world has had the pleasure of running into idiot attorneys from prestigious schools. People who send e-mails full of misspellings, careless factual errors, and incorrect legal assertions beyond their specific scope of legal knowledge. Trust me, these people exist, and it's extremely difficult to explain how they exist if the filtration system is really the meritocracy it claims to be. It is frequently hacked as a vehicle for privilege.

In what scenario does it bot become endemic?
I completely agree with you.

Some advice you never asked for: in that situation, protesting often makes things worse. Learning a little bit of negotiation and sales is an invaluable investment in life.

A simple you seem concerned about selling this to the wrong people / I'm about to make your day a little bit more difficult / you probably think I'm being unreasonable / is it absolutely impossible for me to come home with the medication my wife expects me to? / I don't want you to do something you're uncomfortable with / how can I explain this to my wife? can go a long way.
This Study suffers from at least one significant methodological flaw. They did not evaluate the same individuals pre- and post Covid infection but instead evaluated people as a group who were either previously infected or not. While they did try to correct for some socio-economic factors such as age their data did not allow them to factor in the socio-economic discrepancies in the distribution of early Covid cases which overwhelmingly hit service industry workers with direct customer exposure. People with Graduate Degrees were much more frequently able to self isolate and work from home than people without a high school equivalent degree.
What I find to be quite sad, is the fact that these researchers were actually in a position to retest a subset of the original test takers as more than 10% completed a follow up survey in December 2020 which surfaced 275 individuals who had contracted Covid after their first participation in the study.
Retesting those, as well as the >8000 individuals who had no change in Covid status to control for increase in age, increase in points due to getting better at the test with repeated exposure etc, would have been a sufficiently large dataset to actually confirm or rule out at least large effect sizes.
Reading the results, the less severe the case the less severe the impact. Effects were severe for hospitalized patients, and mild for mild cases. Hospitalization is rare among vaccinated people.
I wouldn't call it self hosting. It is more associative hosting. Self hosting is when you do everything yourself and that can be really cheap. It's more work and require more competence but you have the minimum dependency.

I had a bad experience in using non self hosting. I used weebly for my blog because it was free and convenient. Without warning they disallowed free access. I can't modify my data and can't export it. That gives me an unpleasant feeling about weebly and such type of free service.

I now do true self hosting as far as I can. I wouldn't even trust an association.

Yes, most people think about Azure/GCP/AWS/Alibaba only. But there are many others, smaller and bigger providers. For example:

Scaleway (small, in Europe) is like DO: Egress cost is part of the instance price

Oracle cloud: Egress cost depends on the monthly usage and and the destination country (free of charge up into $0.050 USD per GB per month) [1]

Egress shouldn't be as expensive as it is in major clouds.

wider also means more frontal surface area. Just like a car going through air, less frontal surface area means more aerodynamic (or hydrodynamic), ie lower coefficient of drag. Olympic rowing shells and flatwater kayaks provide good visuals of what a fast displacement hull boat looks like - long and as narrow as possible.

Sad news. Weinberg was the kind of scientist I like the most: very important results in his career, deep love for what he did and an absolutely no non-sense attitude. It was pretty inspirational to see him always so lucid well into his 80s. Rest in peace professor.
For example, I almost never need to use a debugger or Valgrind with Rust. Mysterious memory corruption just isn't a thing. Memory leaks are not a problem either (even though technically Rust doesn't claim to prevent all leaks, it does well enough in practice).

Rust catches data races, use of non-thread-safe functions, and use-after-free problems across the entire codebase, including (mis)use of 3rd party libraries, at compile time. I can add `.par_iter()` to a loop, and if it compiles, I know it doesn't mangle any data. If it doesn't compile, the compiler points me to the exact struct that needs a refcount, or a mutex, or atomic. That saves me weeks of chasing heisenbugs.

In debug builds it checks all integer arithmetic for overflow (no need to wrap types in custom class, works for dependencies too). This has saved my ass a few times.

There's a pretty decent standard library, and a good number of quality dependencies that can be installed with a 1-liner. If I need to (de)serialize a struct from JSON, it's a couple of lines. I want to switch that to msgpack instead, 2-line change. I need that compressed? 2 lines again, plugs in easily, and supports serialize-and-compress without an intermediate buffer.

Build system uses convention over configuration, so there's no artisanal "build script" to manage, or even an argument which build system sucks less. Dependency management and workspaces work well enough that it's practical to modularize projects into smaller libraries, and actually reuse them. Unit testing is built-in. Doxygen-like generator is also built-in, no config needed. Of course any language can do the same, but having zero friction removes excuses and really helps making people actually use these things.
Other than the timeframe (since they've opened), i can say the same thing about AliExpress. Same day support. Out of the 2 issues I had in the many years and hundreds of orders, all were resolved with a quick refund. Amazon isn't special. They just have such a high price tag, on our expense and not to the manufacturer's benefit, that they can afford to throw money at human support.
The game sounds interesting and you seem to have great work ethics. You seem to have a marketing issue however. For a game, marketing is really important.

I'm not extremely knowledgeable in the indie game business but as you seem to have a positive track record, getting a publisher might help you.
In salt water? Not realistically any time soon. But here in the Netherlands they've developed salt-tolerant potatoes that grow well in saline soils.
A bit tangential.. but can anyone recommend some good resources on writing a (emacs-like) text editor? I'm curious how they look architecturally
Moral philosophy is distracting and harmful
The appeal of hosting is that somebody else takes care of infra, OS, application management for you. Until this can be meaningfully solved for self-hosted situations, self-hosting will always be at a disadvantage.
> Why are you afraid to admit that your religion prohibits homosexuality?

Christianity doesn't have a single unitary rule of sexuality and not all forms of Christianity prohibit homosexuality, even in terms of thr general doctrine of organized groups. And even within organized groups whose official doctrine says one thing, there are dissenters on various points, and homosexuality is a common one.

Moreover, I’ve been responding to points about arguments from what the Bible says, which is a distinct thing from what (any form of) Christianity says. Christians (both organized groups and, within them, individuals) have a variety of approaches to the role of the Bible and its interpretation. There's no strong, general reason to comment about the doctrine of my religion (personally or organizationally) in a discussion of the content of the Bible.

Why are you so eager to jump into a subthread where it is irrelevant and point out that your religion prohibits homosexuality?
Here is my roadmap to the "metaverse" or the final medium if you like: The clients will be X86/Win and slowly migrate to ARM/Lin as electricity prices rise, right now only Jetson Nano is good enough, Raspberry 4 has half-float issues and the GPU is generally too weak.

On the backend you need to own the persistent data but not the real-time data, so you will distribute your database on 2x or more home hosted setups and the regional live servers (asia (AWS and GCP), central US (GCP and IONOS) and europe (here anything goes)) will connect to those.

You need 1Gb/s up+down fiber on two homes for this.

You also need a software/hardware stack that can saturate those 1Gb/s at very low wattage so you can have lead-acid backup power (make sure your appartement building has a UPS on the switch in the basement).

The real tricky part is the license you apply to all of this so that others are incentivized to fill the demand for you in the case that blows up!

I'm going to go with with monthly payments in proportion to your revenues starting at $20/month.

For end customers I'm thinking $10/year.
> Cognitive problems in those who have required a lengthy hospital stay or intubation are expected [[19]]. What is less clear is whether milder cases who have not been hospitalized also can suffer objectively measurable cognitive deficits. Measuring such associations is challenging.

I think most of these deficits are for the hospitalized. It will be interesting to see the why. Is it the virus itself? Is it the treatment? Combination? Or is it the extreme long term anxiety.
I find it hard to believe that people are successful over lawsuits like this. Pretty much every product comes with an agreement that by using the device that you agree to it.
