So there is no real reason to force people to vaccinate now, if they don't want to? Leave them to their chosen fate.
One of the tricks in the past to get past captive portals that allowed only DNS traffic, but did not redirect DNS traffic to a controlled server, was to tunnel traffic through DNS. I remember I went on a cruise once and that was my plan to get out of having to pay exorbitant fees for data access on wifi. I never ended up doing it though, because I ended up not really using my phone or laptop while on the cruise, which I count as a win.

It was a lot easier to not actually use the internet then though, as it was 10-15 years ago. The last time I was on a cruise, 3-4 years ago I think, I bought the wifi package, and it was so poorly implemented and/or overloaded that it was a pain at best to use. All things considered, not usually an issue when you're relaxing, but when you need it for a moment and it feels like you're using an old 3G connection, that sucks.

That's actually why they need the lubrication. They are in use a lot less and so can seize up.
Most overseas buyers don't actually visit the property before buying it. In fact, it's pretty common to buy a property before it's even built.

I live in HK and receive brochures every few days for foreign property in Canada, the UK and Australia. If you have the cash, you can pretty much visit the agent and buy the place on the spot.

Along a beach on Yorke Peninsula I came across a sea snake in a 'puddle' as the tide was going out. It was about 30cm long, and skinny, and if I hadn't taken a second look I could have walked past thinking it was just a strand of seaweed. I took a second look because it's slight movements didn't fit what seaweed would have done in a puddle disconnected from the ocean. The snake was squirming in the puddle as the water was warming in the summer sun.

Excerpt from [0]:

"All sea snakes discovered so far are venomous and produce some of the most dangerous venoms known in the animal kingdom but most species are considered to be non-aggressive."

I could have stepped on this damn thing thinking it was seaweed, and I'm sure that would have inspired some aggression that I could have found existentially distressing.

In the most Aussie scenario possible, a passerby saved the snake by taking their thongs (flip-flops) off, picking up the snake between the soles of the two thongs, and taking it to where the tide still reached. It swam off energetically.

Unrelated story:
A few hundred metres up the same beach, where the sand meets rock pools under some cliffs, my (at the time ~7 year-old) son calls out "I found a squid", then 10 seconds later "it's turning blue!". His mother and I both immediately screamed DON'T TOUCH IT and started running towards him. He didn't touch it. It was a blue-ringed octopus[1]. Australian kids learn about them in primary school.

io_uring combined with ebpf is learning from exokernels AFAICT.

XOK for instance had at least three or four in kernel VMs exposed to user space depending on how you count them, and was sort of defined by user space using those vms to safely manipulate kernel contexts.
There is a harsh limit to the incidence angle at the sensor, and this (steradian, as horizontal and vertical angle count) multiplied with the area is a limit for what focal length/aperture combinations you can reach on the object end of the lens.

And yes, lenses increase in cost faster than the sensor area they illuminate, assuming they retain the same wide aperture/large incidence angles at the sensor end.

Thankfully, as a photographer you don't have to think about those optical restrictions.
It's enough to know that there is a hard limit at f/0.5 that can't be reached with normal lenses (microscope objectives get much closer, though). Practically, everything below f/1.0 is disproportionally expensive.

A 50mm/f1.0 medium format lens would be far better than what APS-C could possibly do, just because you'd hit the f/0.5 wall before you'd reach APS-C.

The downside of larger sensors is that they are more expensive to make (less fit on a wafer, and the chance of catching a bad pixel is higher), and the optics are inherently heavier and larger, as well as often (but not always, if you can get away with a simpler optical design due to needing a less-open aperture) more expensive.

Thankfully, this only matters in two situations: using lenses that reach maximum resolution below f/2.0 with high-density sensors, or operating in darkness/with very short exposures.

Both that very-high-resolution scenario, as well as the darkness scenario benefit from larger sensors.
The former from better frame-relative resolving power when diffraction limited, the latter from offering wider crop-factor-corrected apertures and thus capturing more light.
So in GA, it's still considered an accident, not a routine* wear situation.

Obviously at some point the example gets far too specific to actually be useful, but...

In general there are lots of alternatives. Pay, objective, even lower level subordinates that are personally motivating, etc. There are many ways to motivate people that does not involve being the single shining star for everybody.

Is it realistic to never personally take a visible and active role in running an army? Probably not. I'm not trying to argue that. But - in theory - if you could do it, you'd build a stronger army. Otherwise it will all fall apart the moment you forget to drink enough water and faint on a hot day in the middle of a battle. The more support structures are in place that don't require your visible and active participation, the stronger the organization is.

Remember, we're talking about a one-liner here. It's not going to capture all sorts of realities and exceptions and little details. Just because you can point out that reality is not the ideal does not invalidate a small saying about the ideal.
On a Tesla the pins the calipers ride on can seize due to corrosion from road salt used in some places during the winter. It's recommended maintenance to inspect and lube them. I've only driven in the southern US so it's not been an issue for me and my brakes were fine when inspected last fall.

My Nissan Leaf's brake rotors rust up and I have to do a few hard brakes every month or so to clean them up.

Slightly off-topic (as usual), but this reminds me of the book Einstein's Dreams. Different ways of thinking about time.

"The book consists of 30 chapters, each exploring one dream about time that Einstein had during this period."

The chapters are versions of the world where time has different rules. In one, the closer you get to the town square, the slower time moves. In another, people build higher and higher houses, since you age more slowly the higher you are from the surface of the Earth. And so on...

>>The housing market is BOOMING!!!

So, why aren't these people investing in such an obvious gold rush as you are making it to be.

The devil is in details. There is a some underlying theme in your comments that people just wake up one day and realize they're magically owning home, which they can rent. Wisdom is in understanding that this is just another business, you pay for what you use. The provider takes a profit.

If you don't want things this way there are other systems to try(communism), your country doesn't seem to like them. In fact you guys have fought wars over the last century against it.

You got what you asked for. What are you complaining about now?

No, it's the ideal outcome. Housing should not be an investment. You should just live in it and it depreciates. People should be able to make normal profits by building new ones. Nobody should profit from buying and selling old ones.
Ursula K. Le Guin coined the word "ansible" in 1966. Others have used it since then, but she deserves credit for inventing the idea and its name.

Yup, it's accidental.
> MobileNet

Okay, compare accuracy of MobileNet to ViT. ViT has 90.45% accuracy and 1.843Bn parameters and MobileNet has 79% with 5.47M parameters (2020, v3 is 75% with 5.4). [0]

These two networks are nowhere near equal. If you could put ViT on a phone and run real-time inference you would. But you can't, so you take a major cut in performance to get what you can.

There are multiple metrics you need to look at when evaluating networks. "Being able to perform on a dataset" is not even that useful of one.

This might be the best comment I've ever seen on this web site.
While there is disinformation out there, it is rare to see completely fabricated primary sources. For example, when a bunch of news sources are saying things like the election was rigged, you can go to the published court cases and the handwritten affidavits. You can then see that 87 judges of all types totally rejected the ridiculous arguments. You can then read through about 250 pages of affidavits and see that they are nothing but vaguely racist, speculative garbage.

Regarding things like the covid vaccine, you can look at the 96% vaccination rate of doctors or you can listen to basically every single immunology or virology expert. It is quite telling that pretty much the only doctors making the media rounds fear mongering about the vaccine are gastroenterologists, opthalmologists, or other unrelated fields.

So no, nothing is certain, but some things are pretty close to certain.
That is the preferred way for me definitely. And it seems that for quite a lot of people.
I was always an Aeron fan because it is a great chair but also it was also a status symbol. Back in 2011 I was working at a startup that finally started making real money and one day a semi truck showed up in the back lot and everyone rolled their motley collection of random office shit chairs out and we unloaded the Aerons off of the truck, still wrapped in plastic. I still have that same chair in the office, 10 years later, and it is basically as good as new.

But...the high back Secretlab Titan chair is so much better. The back and lumbar support is great. The armrests are ok, but for less than $20 you can buy generic memory foam covers that feel like velvet clouds and position your wrists just right to help with avoiding RSD. The neck pillow isn't used all the time, but when I need to literally lean back, it is there. The chair also lays almost flat if you need a nap.

For less than $500 it is a no-brainer. There is an active subreddit (r/secretlab) that is almost cult-like, which was kind of a red flag for me, but it actually seems to be legit superfans and not marketing. The chairs have a five year warranty - up from three but only if you post about it on social media, which is also kind of a red flag. But it is a quality chair and after almost two years of constant use, the arm rests are completely solid and it still feels brand new.

There's nothing wrong with the Aeron but on the rare occasions that I'm in the office these days, it just feels...inferior.

Edit: The arm rests are actually great - I just meant the padding. They obviously go up and down, but they also rotate in and out. So unlike most chairs, you can position them so they actually support your complete arms as you're typing - not parallel to the chair, but angled in so your elbows are at shoulder width but your forearms are supported closer to the keyboard.

I forget about a lot of these adjustments because once you dial them in, it just feels right.
I mean, in a narrow financial sense that is true. Robinhood got a good deal selling their stock before it fell. But Robinhood is selling a story about democratizing access to markets and made a big deal about allocating a big chunk of their order book to their own customers / retail investors. The fact that it fell so much is not a good look, and that may matter more to them than getting the best deal on this capital when capital is plentiful and cheap. I don’t think this is a good outcome for them.

The prices are not being driven up by buyers with 5% down payments. They are being driven up by 100% cash buyers, people moving cash across national boundaries. Just look at the percentage of "all-cash" offers. That tells the whole story.
Reminds me of the time we were trying to bring up a new PCB with a handful of I2C devices and it just would not work. I'd done the driver for one device, and my colleague for another.

Too far longer than it should have to work out that they were using the same address. Fortunately one of them had a pin that would add 1 to the address, so that saved the day.
Do you need a launch? I just put up a site and Americans find it on Bing. I never really targeted anyone, but 60% of visitors are American. It might not be a good idea to target anyway, it could well be that your main market is Canadian for some reason, like lack of competitors.
That... Yes, thanks for pointing that out. Took me a second to realize I'd somewhat argued around my initial point. I suppose my initial point was simply that with the printing press, it all still required a direct middleman: most people still didn't have much greater access to the required material to make up their own minds. These days with the internet, that access actually exists, yet most people aren't really seeking it out. Possibly because, given that access, people are more likely to feel they've made an informed choice even if to more comprehensive information goes u used? Maybe?

I'm not sure, but there's a different dynamic at play. Both "revolutions" had (and have) great potential to allow individuals to make more informed choices, but in the case of Guttenberg the educational bottleneck to get there was still narrow... These days for some reason the bottleneck is more if a self-imposed barrier.

Although education is still a factor: I try to read news sources from the full range of points of view, but they all may report on something like the latest bit of research-by-PR release differently. I have enough of an education to know I should seek out the research publication itself and I understand how to approach a formal writeup of research to provide me with at least a low pass filter against poor quality work. I have enough of an education to be skeptical of simple solutions to complex problems and instead thing about edge cases and failure modes or poor incentive structure.

I can absolutely still be wrong, but if I'm wrong I will still have failed after going through a more rigorous process in an attempt to figure things out. I'm still more likely to ultimately accept a result that runs counter to my initial-- perhaps emotionally charged-- response on an issue as a result.

And perhaps of equal importance at a time where tribal loyalty often demands complete condemnation if anyone outside the group, I understand enough to realize that people with another viewpoint aren't inherently bad/evil/anti-patriotic because reasonable people can disagree, less reasonable people are still complex and not one-dimensionlly defined by a particular belief, and lines between spectrums if belief and just that-- on a spectrum rather than clear cut all or nothing lines in the sand.

I don't know... Maybe that's just me patting myself on the back. But even if educationally institutions can be inadvertently biased towards specific viewpoints, I still believe they expose people to many more ways of looking at something from multiple directions, in a less emotionally charged venue than social media in the internet. I've had teachers that I consider to be the model for how that should occur when I found out afterwards that the points of view they were encouraging me to consider went completely counter to their own strongly held beliefs.

Absent straw men, you aren't going to get anything near that approach from whatever talking head you're watching on TV or YouTube, or captioned meme photo that comes across your social media feed.

"Vaccinated people infected with delta have measurable viral loads similar to those who are unvaccinated and infected with the variant."

I am interested in learning how people who had natural infections, and now the real antibodies, are faring. Particularly in the young who enjoy high recovery rates, maybe natural infection can reduce the spread of the new variant.

I had it and recovered, so this applies to me.

They were assigning them .edu addresses. Their complaint was more about the school requiring them to use email (e.g. to get updates from classes, registration, etc).

I'm not saying all those who complained did not have email - likely many/most did. They didn't like being required to use it. However, there were quite a few who claimed they had never used email. I suspect that they likely had, but only for a few formal things (university applications, etc) - something they used perhaps once every few months. They probably didn't like the idea they'd have to check their emails so frequently.
specs go through open processes on their way to standardization. this hasnt changed. there are groups like TAG that review each spec.

I don't really think there's enough reason for recommendation algorithms to be publicly reviewable, in many cases the algorithm itself is the most important asset of the product, and in a competitive business environment, you can't really force them to disclose it.

What would be ideal is to think of an incentive for these companies to give users an option to disable the use of their algorithm, aka natural flow. That's unfortunately not the trend things are moving, and even services that still have something like that employ dark-patterns to throw user back into their "controlled" timeline (Twitter for example reverts you back "Home" after a few days with a tiny message that is barely noticeable.)

I'm even willing to pay for a feature that "turns off" the algorithm, unfortunately that would never happen because it'd entail these companies admitting that they design their algos not for the benefit of the user but for stickiness and the dreaded "engagement", which shouldn't be a problem in itself, but then it'd quickly become obvious when they're acting sanctimonious.

I’m probably going to be an outlier in any poll because I’ve almost always worked from home, and never bought a chair for my desk. I did however have a really painful experience with my most recent chair, as in significant pain head to heel daily for months. And it turned out it was back pain I couldn’t even feel. A friend gave me a desk chair when he replaced his and now it’s down to head and neck pain.

Yep, what you sit on makes a huge difference.
Picture tech people walking on their treadmills for compensation and then picture gerbils running on wheels for food. Picture tech people drinking Soylent and then picture gerbils eating pellets. The world is whack.

People are substituting artificial things for the natural things that made us happy in earlier times. Walking on a treadmill vs walking outside in the sun and shade amidst plants, trees, and other living things. Eating things for nutrition vs eating fruits and vegetables for enjoyment.
This looks look great, thanks for sharing.

According to Wikipedia, Musk was accepted to a Stanford PhD. As acceptance is the hardest, most competitive and therefore most distinguished part of any elite university, that in itself is a meaningful signal. Parent poster also never said he has a PhD, but that he has the pedigree, i.e. got through the hardest part.

A coworker was into climbing and bouldering.

He agreed.

Sadly, we never did get treadmill desks.

Western real estate is the new gold. It's protected by the entrenched lawful property rights of western countries, so money made in countries without those rights are going to flow in.

Think about it. If you had made a few million based on your having positional power in a country where you would be jailed or killed once people found out what you had been doing, you'd get the money out to somewhere your descendants would have safe access to it no matter what happened.
