I'm much happier with the GDPR idea where tracking is not allowed by default and the website has to obtain informed consent first. Of course in practice the implementations still need to be improved - both through enforcement (many of the consent dialogs are not legal), through additional standards and legislation to require them (you should be able to set your browser to automatically deny all requests) and through continuing to shame companies and individuals for their excessive tracking (at least the consent dialogs tell you about the extend now).

How does that compare to other species
I found that most people have a very narrow and different view of "what needs to be done", and that's why there's so much tension on WFH.

Most engineers today seem to like just being assigned tasks, and don't consider the huge effort required to create, prioritize and properly articulate those tasks (some of which required engineering input). A good presenter probably know he need to rethink something if he has an audience with a "I don't get it" face.

On the other hand, managers can't empathize with how some people concentrate better in their home than in a noisy open office.

When my company was forced by covid to move to WFH, individual productivity increased while overall company productivity decreased. Both sides were right, just in different ways.
I prefer the "git wip" custom command than gitupdate

git config --global alias.wip "\!git add --all; git commit -a -m \"wip: update\""
git config --global alias.wtc "\!git add --all; git commit -a -m \"[WTC] \$(curl -s whatthecommit.com/index.txt)\""

I don't like the idea to generate the list of modified files in commit messages, it's not very readable to me plus that I could just generate such info with git log. I tried to write a custom git-wip script to include output of "git status --porcelain=v1" but turns out it's just not necessary since "git log --name-status" could already show it

git log --name-status
# or get modified history of a specified file
git log -p path/to/file.ext
Love the fact that a few years ago, Big Pharma, including Pfizer, was the devil for most people, but now that they are providing vaccines and asking for extraordinary measures to be protected from any kind of lawsuit, then everyone is quick to forget their past practices and "swallows the pill" as if nothing ever bad happened with this companies before.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious here but arent those that don't want the vaccine a risk just for themselves? If they want to risk it it's their problem/choice.

One thing everyone seems to ignore is those people that have immunity/antibodies and don't actually need a vaccine. Why is that?

As far as I managed to read here and there not even the shot I had protects me from catching or spreading the virus. It only reduces(at least I hope) the damage done when infected even though my age group should be ok-ish even without.
Some user feedback: I tried to get the ResNet50 example to work, but I gave up after 2 hours. There really should be an end-to-end example like "./resnet50_example.py monkey.jpg".

A few points where I struggled:

- What are the names in the ResNet50Params struct? I looked at a few popular ResNet50 implementations, but I could not find any correspondence and since the names have been sorted, the order of the members might as well be random. I thought about matching the parameters by shape instead, but the chance of getting that correct is almost zero. Why no natural sort? Or even better, a naming scheme that sorts in the same order as execution order, for example with zero-prefixed numbers like "layer05"

- 6 MB C files are somewhat ridiculous. There should at least be a download link somewhere. Copy & pasting from the website would take forever because of scrolling. Also it is impossible to verify that that code monstrosity is not doing anything evil.

- Go seems like an odd choice when almost every machine learning project these days is developed in Python.

- GCC throws a few hundred warnings:

ResNet50.c: In function ‘ResNet50ThreeArrangeDats7Callee1’:
ResNet50.c:57009:15: warning: unused variable ‘rel27’ [-Wunused-variable]
57009 | ptrdiff_t rel27 = j62-0;
| ^~~~~

and

ResNet50.c: In function ‘ResNet50NetCreate’:
ResNet50.c:77852:20: warning: taking address of packed member of ‘struct ResNet50Params’ may result in an unaligned pointer value [-Waddress-of-packed-member]
77852 | params1->bn1Means,
| ~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~

- You would get more feedback if there was a platform to discuss such issues (e.g. GitHub) instead of hijacking random threads on HackerNews.

- EDIT: I just realized I could probably just write a parser for that graph file format. This would be much easier if it was something standard like JSON instead.

- EDIT2: I think some shapes in the graph file definition are incorrect (possibly reversed per block?). For example, tensor "one1" should have "ToChannels=64" instead of "ToChannels=256".
> This is no different.

To be fair, it actually is different. The mechanism of action and the EUA timelines are different and unlike most other widely available vaccines. It is ok to disagree on the crux of the argument which is whether taking the vaccine is a net good, but non-factual arguments do not help.
Google seems to also place less emphasis on search phrases. When searching for exact article names I easily find them on DuckDuckGo, but not on Google. Two recent search-term examples:

1. the scientific worldview needs an update

2. from reproducibility to over reproducibility
I think if you'd ask most people if they want to be tracked they'd say no. Of course you could word things differently or promise benefits to manipulate the answers, but just for "do you want to be tracked" the answer will typicall be NO - and some more progressive privacy laws like the GDPR recognize that by making no tracking the default.

Setting DNT to true by default is certainly more in line with user's wishes than the previous assumption by the tech industry to just grab whatever info they can.

I clicked on "Covered Vaccines". The COVID-19 vaccines aren't on the list.

I was talking about currently available legal options. Not about any free market.

I don't know anything about Equifax? What are they doing?

I assume whatever Equifax is accused of doing is already illegal by current laws? Would making it 'more illegal' help?
> I’ve read all the comments and can confidently say there’s nothing worth reading here

I particularly dislike this type of comments, which tell people what to feel and think about a thread, however well meaning it might be. You're in a performative contradiction when you shallowly dismiss the entire thread with an overgeneralization and with that make it definitely less useful.

Yes, this thread is more divided than your usual one, but I personally found useful nuggets of information in the comments, so it is definitely not "nothing worth reading".
Considering it an inhibitor of small business is assuming unquantified/unrecognised subsidisation either by the employee or government.
If everyone were paid a minimum wage, theoretically a new employee could agree for this additional wage portion to be capitalised as a liability in the business for payment at a later stage when the businesses cashflow can support it (this is open to abuse and probably should be or is illegal for low wage employees).
If the government is subsidising that employee's income, they are indirectly subsidising that business. It would be more transparent/in the public's interest for them to apply for a business grant to pay these costs. Increasing access to these grants is a political issue.
What? People are all the same species: Homo Sapiens. There's nothing political or controversial about that. Unless you've met living Neanderthals?

Sure, it can be said that different "races" among humans make up a variety of subspecies. Yet, subspecies is not an objective reality. It is an example of where humans invent words to attempt to categorize and quantify things with fuzzy, unclear boundaries.

Why do we invent words like this? Because they're useful for enhancing knowledge and communication. When a word stops doing that, for example because of some immense contextual baggage connected to it, there's no point in forcing the matter, because we can just use different words and still get the same knowledge we seek otherwise.

Humans are illogical and emotionally complex. Denying that fact and chalking it up to political maneuvers is, ironically, itself an example of illogical emotional reaction.

Just use the term "ethnicity" so we can get on with science instead of wasting time trying to dig up old words for personal gratification.
Maybe? Anyway, the main point is that there has to be a resolution, and that will only come about through conflict of some kind, which is what we're seeing playing out.

People don't want to hear this, but does anyone have a plausible alternative that might actually happen? Where a debate like this was resolved sans conflict?
Exactly, this is the opposite of the unix way of doing things. Do only one thing and well, be nimble.

It would be nice if NAT64 was embraced everywhere, I love typing IP addresses because I'm lazy, but we need IPv6 right now.

There are still too many rough edges going V6 only though, like if I set my own DNS servers, will they resolve A records to NAT64 AAAA records? And how will the regular Windows sysadmin deal with registering DNS records?
So is it generally true that any non-metal which gains electrons is able to absorb and release visible-wavelength photons more easily, i.e. is reflective?

Bill Beaty has a nice ELI5-style essay on the subject at http://amasci.com/elect/charge1.html , where he discusses what electric charge is (and isn't):

"Here is a way to see charge directly: look at the surface of a wire. Metals look metallic because they contain a 'fluid' composed of movable electrons. This electrical 'fluid' is an excellent reflector of light waves, and it causes the surfaces of metals to act like mirrors. It's these same electrons which flow during an electric current. The 'silvery' stuff of a metal is the charge. What is charge? It is a 'silver liquid' which is found in all metals, and which can be forced to flow.

"Even though the charge is visible, its flow is not. Look carefully at wires in an operating electric circuit and you won't see anything moving along. This is not very mysterious: stir a glass of water and then look for the flowing motion. You'll see moving bubbles and perhaps moving specks of dirt, but you won't see the water move. The silvery charge-fluid in a wire has no bubbles or dirt, so even though the charge is visible, we cannot tell if it is moving or still."
Was the comment about COVID-19 vaccines specifically or about vaccines in general? I thought the latter.

That's an advantage. Since google tuned up their engine to treat authoritative results as better their searches became absolute dogshit.

You search for a very specific thing and all the results are big sites that have said something that contains two of the 6 words you search for in a completely generic article that helps you none.

My favorite is when your query contains a word that is the very essence of what you search for and google chooses to display results without it so you have to do extra click "yes I actually want to search for what I said I want to search for".
When I try that search, havfruen is seventh place. NHI and other good results at the top.

YMMV a lot with Google results. For me, it's usually great where DDG is kinda crap, but not as bad as... shudder ... bing
Get vaccinated you idiot.
It’s awful to imagine, but maybe a devastating pandemic that wiped out 50% of humans would give us a shot at a survivable climate.

> Krita has a different focus though. What photoshop is to Illustrator, is GIMP to Krita.

I mean, that's the theory, but I just find photo editing to be all around much more comfortable in Krita despite using GIMP for years.

Also one of Photoshop's main domain is digital painting (https://www.google.com/search?q=making+digital+painting+with...) which is what Krita focuses on. You don't really draw with Illustrator.
I am in a senior(ish) position and honestly I prefer talking things out with at least one other person before making larger decisions. Even if they're a "junior" person, explaining my ideas to someone helps me see the spots where I don't really understand the problem before I get to solving it. I especially like it when people disagree with me because it forces me to construct a real argument in support of my approach.
Is it the only thing? No. Does sexualization have an outsized influence? I suspect so. If you have an alternative explanation, please put forth your hypothesis.

Would you agree that the net worth of individual athletes is substantially derived from advertising endorsements and sponsorships? https://www.sportsmanagementdegreehub.com/olympic-athletes-s...

Look at this list of wealthiest Olympians:
https://www.celebritynetworth.com/list/top-50-olympians/

Notice that almost all of the women are figure skaters, gymnasts, or horseback riders (not a very sexualized sport, probably some interesting effects of family wealth needed to even train for it). Why are there no female power lifters raking in millions after winning a medal? I'm singling out power lifting as a sport where the women are conservatively dressed and the events are not particularly flattering to the female form.

Ideally we would have access to per-event viewership data going back decades as a proxy for Olympic event popularity, ticket revenue, and advertising revenue. I could only find this article with some good graphs of overall income by source: https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/economics-hosting-olympic-g...
The bulk of which is TV. What glues eyeballs to the TV screen?

We can compare viewership of 2 simple YouTube searches as a proxy:

"sexiest female pole vaulters": top5 vids alone are >50M views total

"sexiest female powerlifters": top10 vids are <10M views total

Interestingly, the #6 result for "sexiest female Olympic gymnasts" is titled: "28 Olympians on How to get laid in the Olympic village" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7UD0w13IdQ
Even Cosmopolitan, that bastion of the misogynistic male gaze (sarc), knows what people wanna see about the Olympics.
He was always a scientist and also did debunking of crowdfunding projects that promised physically impossible stuff.

And while I agree about his toxic tone - he has some points regarding feminism. For example his critique of Feminist Frequency podcast was on point ("in this game women can be killed therefore it's sexist" meanwhile in that same game you kill thousands of men and that's fine).

Yes, lungs, heart, kidney and liver seem like more obvious bottlenecks than calorie intake alone.

I was mostly just remarking on the energy-demand hypothesis advanced in the comment above.

I guess that's case closed then!
At face value this doesn't seem unreasonable. Pfizer is offering to supply a vaccine that is generally being approved under emergency conditions, could cause harm to recipients (even a small number) which would put the company at risk of hundreds of civil lawsuits across the globe.

Western countries generally have vaccine funds where the gov't promises to shoulder the burden of any vaccine injuries. This shields the manufactures from liability. When France or the UK say they will cover the costs you can count on their word. When developing countries say this, you may want some way to hold them to the promise.
yeah and you don't got banned if you have done something wrong in a row.
i hate this concept of duolingo and it doesn't help in any way but their income
Very funny.

On my car: remove 5x 19mm lugnuts, remove wheel, reinstall 2x lug nuts, remove 2x 21mm caliper assembly bolts, remove the caliper assembly, use a 4" C-clamp over the existing used inner brake pad to retract the caliper piston, replace pads, reinstall caliper assembly, reinstall 21mm bolts to secure caliper assembly to steering knuckle, remove 2x lug nuts, reinstall wheel, install 5x lug nuts torqued to 85ft/lb.

Need to swap rotor? It's only secured by 2 of those lugnuts, so just do it then.

What's dangerous? It will not allow you to do it wrong because parts will not fit. You need exactly two sockets: 21mm and 19mm.
Kreyszig had the highest thickness-to-width ratio of any of my textbooks. Carrying it around campus was totally impractical.
As AC units are basically heat pumps why aren't people running them in reverse in the winter? Except in very cold climates, it should still be cheaper/more efficient than gaz. What am I missing?
Obviously some of the details are different, they're different for every contagion, but the principle is the same: the interest in public health overrides the normal interest in preserving individual bodily autonomy, just like with vaccinations and schooling.
Yeah, that's pretty much the standard approach to teaching calculus and I would guess that the majority of people with any understanding of calculus understand it roughly that way. It probably is the most intuitive and easiest way to get students from zero to being able to solve problems and use the calculus that they might encounter in many other fields (basic physics, statistics, etc).

It's not really a "wrong" interpretation of calculus, but it has limitations. Eventually the geometric intuition breaks down. You can use it pretty well as long as you are working in standard euclidian spaces with up to three dimensions. Past that, you really can't visualize things and your intuition will lead you to incorrect conclusions or at least just get in the way.

A course in Analysis will tear down that intuition and (hopefully) replace it with a more rigorous one based on limits of infinite series. It's a longer and harder road, but leads to an approach to calculus that carries over to N dimensions almost trivially (vector and tensor analysis). It also extends to limits of series of things other than just Real numbers, eg, calculus on complex numbers, limits of series of functions (harmonic/Fourier analysis), stochastic processes, or variations in functions (calculus of variations). Not being inherently tied to our normal ideas of euclidian spaces even allows for some really weird things like being able to integrate the Dirichlet function (a function where rational numbers have the value 1 and irrational numbers have the value 0). Many of these turn out to be very important and useful in advanced physics and other fields.
Thank you for making a good point. I'm saying we should use the limited data we have to make the best predictions we can until all of the data comes in. Of course, predictions don't always end up being right, weather forecasts being the obvious example, but there is still value in making them and trusting them (with a grain of salt).
>Remote management is pretty much nothing more than basic management 101.

this seems to be saying that remote management is easier than normal management without the ability to observe people during the course the day.

maybe this seems counterintuitive to me because I don't really know much about management; perhaps you can expand?
Google scholar search is still very useful.

DuckDuckGo is nowadays more useful than Google for my web searches.

What fucking longitudinal risks of the vaccine? Its just the spike protein. What about the longitudinal effects of a novel virus you idiot!?
Minor improvements, they can already make use of something like Lwp today.
Let's say 3 sides of a triangle enclose an area of A.

If you add 3 more sides to get a hexagon, you double the perimeter (and therefore construction costs), but the area enclosed is 6A (6 of the original triangles fit in the new hexagon).
Complicated - they should be able to piece together a route with reasonably up to date "street view but like for self driving" imagery, up to date maps, and reasonable weather conditions.

One actually really important feature of these systems is how they handle failure. If the car gets confused, how does it handle it?
I'm not sure unions can help with cultural issues: the frats can and should also join the union, then the union has to represent them. If the frat boy culture is rife in the company, it will be rife in the union.
Yes and the reason why vaccine injury funds were developed are:

"It was created in the 1980s, after lawsuits against vaccine companies and health care providers threatened to cause vaccine shortages and reduce U.S. vaccination rates, which could have caused a resurgence of vaccine preventable diseases."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the JnJ vaccine use the old vaccine technology compared to the newer Mrna vaccines?
As a parent I'm very interested in why you would label your childhood as "boring". I would feel bad if my kids would feel the same. What is the reason? Were your parents very protective? Did you stay inside most of the time? What would you consider "not boring"?
That’s your assumption. Someone can be in favor of personal health privacy, against big government, and still be pro medicine.

Single minded, unquestionable, blind following is not science.

Warning over start of commercial-scale deep-sea mining
Along those lines: Shortage relative to needs or wants of whom? Maybe. Might be a surplus of demand in the form of an arms race between adequately-resources rivals and lots of smaller businesses that can’t all succeed even if they found the tech workers they sought. A glut of demand rather than supply, and, frankly, a much happier circumstance for tech workers that way.
They might take that stance, to avoid liability and complication.

At the moment, they have a very clear rule. If they stop providing services to obvious spammers, they will create lots of grey areas, and they will also implicitly make a judgement that the client they still serve are _good_ in some way, and an enterprising lawyer or muckraker might exploit that.
