Weird seeing this as a Show HN. That said: since MS and GitHub are the same company… one of the things I really want is to be able to opt in to reference/search into dependencies. I don’t need visualization, I need “yes show me node_modules/*/*.js when normally I wouldn’t want that.” I use a VSCode extension that does this in the file browser, but I want it across everything that determines whether something is hidden.
I confused this with SPARK. Especially since the website has ada in its name.

It's a modern day witch hunt.
It's been preached as the savior of the pandemic since they were announced. Then they said if you're vaxed you can go back to work and be around other vaxed people without a mask. Now people are still "getting sick" even with the vax, so basically it did nothing and was pointless. It's nothing more than a constant moving of goal posts designed to eradicate all liberties here on forth.
From a variant that only exists because of unvaccinated people. This is where a lot of the frustration comes from.
It's well-known that this algorithm doesn't have a perfect matching rate. It'd be easy to presume that any false positives are not erroneously tagged images, but the error rate of the underlying algorithm, if all the images were tagged correctly. Who would know?

IIRC Wired reported the algorithm "PhotoDNA" worked around 99% of the time a number of years ago, however newer algorithms may be fuzzier. This is not the same algorithm. And even "PhotoDNA" appears to change over time.

The American Journal of Therapeutics paper you linked includes falsified data from a since-retracted paper. It is also the only literature review that indicated Ivermectin does anything at all against COVID-19. If you remove the falsified data, you will see that the drug no longer seems effective.

You did for people under 40, and I agree with your point, but I'm wondering if the results are the same for people that are between 20 and 30 for example. I find that 75% of the people that died of COVID under 40 were under 30 and 40 with https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm. So the risk would be more around 1/3rd (give or take) of the risk of covid itself, following your calculations. So you're betting that less than a third of people between 20 and 30 will get covid (again, give or take and highly in "my" favor, as you yourself pushed the data on this side already).

Considering that we still don't know the long terms effect of the vaccine, I can understand that someone between 20 and 30 without comorbidities would think that it's reasonable to wait and see, especially if he's less at risk (lives in the countryside for example, remote work, things like that).

> You could, for example, look at the social costs of losing the accumulated experience/wisdom/social capital of people over a certain age, which may be why some societies emphasize respect for the elderly.

That's a good point. You could also add a different value for years depending on the age, as people often value their youth more. 1.5 years lost when you're in college or starting your first job is not the same as when you're in your 70s and retired.
Believe in actual board certified American & European doctors who have no financial interest in such a cheap and widely used drug, doctors who are specialists in their fields and widely published - - who have been treating their patients with Ivermectin among other items in their protocol and reporting VERY REAL RESULTS:

I don't think that's what's going on here. I'm pretty sure they're measuring the performance of the first window opened. A lot of Windows applications, Firefox included, do single-instance manually by opening an IPC connection to the old instance and telling it to open a new window. Also, DLLs in Windows are only loaded from disk into memory once. If XUL.dll is already in memory from another instance of the application, it won't be read from disk again. (It won't even get rebased for ASLR again.)

Kind of baffling to hear multiple application instances described as "weird," though. I guess that might be the case from a Mac perspective. Having a separate process per application window is fairly standard in Windows and desktop Linux. It gives you a simpler programming model, since per-window things can be global or singletons, and you can always terminate the process when the user presses the close button, rather than having to check for other windows. It also makes you more robust to application crashes, since only one window will crash.

i read polya's book as an undergrad to my detriment. 10 years later and having "solved" several problems, i can authoritatively say that it is not how difficult problems are solved. the real "how to solve it" for problems that aren't exercises is closer to what feynman said in one of his books: a good physicist [or mathematician] has 5-10 problems on their mind at all times and when they learn of a new technique they apply it to their problem. such learning happens by reading monographs, papers, and going to conferences. that is to say that math (or theoretical physics) is socially produced/developed.

It was actually that simple.

Apple gave everyone the album. It just assigned that album to everyone's library. It could be deleted from the device, but it stayed attached to your account. So it showed up in your library when you searched even if you didn't have it downloaded, because that's how Apple's library worked.

I'm not sure how that's "paternalistic" in any sense of the word.

I didn't move the goalpost. This article, and commentary, is specifically about how Apple is adding technology that can be used to invade our privacy or be abused by state actors.

A bad marketing tactic from seven years ago that amounted to a free gift no one wanted is an absolutely ridiculous example.

The driver has a seat belt. This is the foundation for why seat belts are mandated to begin with -- it is far easier to lose control of a car when you're unbelted, and that is a huge risk to everyone else on the road.

Beyond that, it's probably a matter of practicality that passengers aren't required to be belted in. It would significantly reduce the capacity of public transit. A better option might be to protect the driver from projectile humans. AFAICT that's exactly how modern buses are designed.
Yeha, also that it uses Lua. I think I should try that language; always hear good stuff about it.

Data aggregation is similar to the encryption backdoor problem in computer science. This is sometimes referred to as the 'exceptional access system' problem. It is impossible to build such a system and then to ensure it is not abused or misused.

The best example of this is trying to build a system that allows law enforcement to read private data. There's no way to ensure that only law enforcement (and none other) does that.

I'm not asking anything of you. You're asking me to waive my right to legal recourse and inject an experimental vaccine based on unfounded claims COVID can be eradicated through vaccination.

It's the vaccinated excluding the unvaccinated from public and freedom of association, not the other way.

For as long as I can remember, Firefox has always been janky and slower than Chrome at moving tabs in and out of windows.

Dragging a tab doesn't always create a new window, sometimes it acts as bookmarking if I drag it into the tab bar, sometimes (on Linux) it acts as drag-dropping the tab into another app like Discord and fails to open a window.

Dragging a tab out of a window doesn't create a new window until you release the mouse, so it feels unresponsive, and you don't know whether you'll get a bookmark or tab or nothing at all. And dragging the last tab out of an empty window doesn't close the window to allow me to see what windows lie underneath.

And in the past (not sure now) I've noticed that dragging a tab a few pixels downwards would create a new window, when I meant to click or reorder a tab.

I believe that if LÖVE weren't inextricably tied to Lua and were instead exposed as a C library that 2D game development would become a lot easier in someone's language of choice. You don't have to muck around with low-level details like initializing SDL or using raw calls to OpenGL, but you don't have to be constrained by the complexity of larger frameworks like Unity. It's like the one proper wrapper API for all the individual hard-to-use libraries.

I don't like LÖVE because of Lua, I like LÖVE because the framework itself is so well-designed and easy to use. Other people seem to agree to the point of reimplementing LÖVE's API in Rust, as ggez.
Covid vaccine boosters: the most important questions
and yet, "throw features at it until it meets the client's requested idealized spec, with weird carve-outs for some legacy system that we promise will be gone in a year or so, maybe" while also maybe conforming to some mythological security model drunkenly conceived by Baphomet" is where we arrive at in practice
Just FYI, as I said in another comment in this case "many (senior) researchers agreed with Gebru's opposition to LeCun's original point - see tweets by Charles Isbel, yoavgo, Dirk Hovy embedded here https://thegradient.pub/pulse-lessons/ under 'On the Source of Bias in Machine Learning Systems' (warning - it takes a while to load). There was a civil back-and-forth between him and these other researchers as you can see in that post, so it was a point worth discussing. Gebru mostly did not participate in this beyond her initial tweets as far as I remember."

Also, for anyone who thinks Gebru does not have real credentials as an AI researcher, she did get her doctorate at Fei-Fei Li's lab at Stanford (which is now the lab I am part of), and did research at both Microsoft and Google and has co-authored papers with a variety of other well respected researchers. Just sayin', she's obviously not as senior as Lecun but let's not caricature her as if she has no expertise in this area.

> Israel debunks your theory

Cherry picking. There is plenty of contra evidence to suggest that vaccination is extremely effective at keeping people from getting very ill.

Agreed, though it's clearly not seasonal (a surge in summer?). Unless a particularly lethal variant comes along and whittles down the antivaxxer population significantly.
I don't have an axe to grind against him or what he did to be clear.

My point is that he bought private stock, something that is privileged, so it's not entirely accurate to say that all people benefit from a roth IRA equally.

I personally don't think that the average person has the ability to take similar advantage, even though they both have the same limitations on paper.
It was meant in jest. :)
The link you provided still stands behind the main claim... - "We retract the part of our article that relied on the data from Dr. Elgazzar’s study. But the broader point stands: There’s strong evidence of ivermectin’s efficacy in treating Covid-19."
That's conjecture. A conclusion from this study[1] is that vaccines correlate with dominance of fitter variants. That suggests that it's possible that vaccines allow them to propagate.

"the decline in lineage diversity was indeed correlated with increased rates of mass vaccination. Furthermore, the decline in lineage diversity was coupled with increased dominance of the B.1.1.7 (alpha), B.1.1.617 (delta) and P.1 (gamma) variants of concern, suggesting that these variants may be “fitter” SARS-CoV-2 lineages.”

I think you might be confusing a few different things. I originally wrote "Game theory predicts" because this has been worked out with some rigor in game theory. You should never assume that anything in game theory necessarily applies to real life. At best, game theory models give us a starting point for other lines of inquiry. That's the whole of the claim, not that this is real, but only that there is a game theory model where this works well.
My first instinct is that its the same logic as to why gambling gains are tax free: because otherwise the losses would be tax deductible.

>I've still not heard a single good argument for not vaccinating despite reading most anti-vax comments on this post.

The obvious good reason is you have one of the many pre-existing conditions that prevent you from getting the vaccine without causing yourself further risk of long term organ damage/failure caused by you previously taking other mandatory vaccines on a regular basis (healthcare workers, vasculitis is one such group of diseases common among the RN population - but what do they know, those front line workers with their anti-vaxx mumbo-jumbo).

The other obvious reason is another simple one - it seems its completely unnecessary for any relatively "healthy" person such as myself to worry about this virus. Our immune systems are designed for this battle, and based on the death rates, it seems despite the US population being very obese and largely unhealthy with a fairly high diabetes rate, we're somehow not dying in droves.

Third reason, vaccinations against every single little virus that comes along is effectively practicing negative selection. I think we all can assume where that leads especially with a leaky vaccine like this one - large scale true extinction event. We're breeding superbugs by vaccinating large scale populations, instead of small targeted vaccine administration.

I mean, shooting and archery would absolutely fall into the same category.

In reality, Bowling is much more complicated than it appears at first glance. The lane is covered in a thin layer of oil in a specific pattern. The pattern greatly affects the difficulty of hitting the pocket at the right angle to get a strike (effectively your play surface is invisible). On top of this, the pattern changes as others bowl on it. So even when you know the correct line, in two frames you may have to change your shot a little to continue hitting strikes.

The pattern of the oil greatly affects how difficult the game is. Most league bowlers bowl on a "house shot" which will have no oil on the outside of the lane and more on the inside, this can make the room for error to be 5-10 boards, due to this many good league bowlers average 220+. You take that same bowler and put them on a "sport" pattern, or a PBA pattern, and they would be lucky to shoot 170. Those patterns may mean the bowler has 1-2 boards of room to miss, and potentially if you miss any more than that your ball travels off course by a couple pins.
> A clawback of bonuses for security vulnerabilities might be an interesting idea? Or better yet bigger bonuses if there are no breaches.

Agency problem. Those who decide budgets and project timelines get the upside in such a bonus scheme, while whose who implement get the downside. Clawback bonuses, and the engineers not only get blamed, they get laid off to make the quarterly numbers for the management who want to make up for lost bonuses.

I suspect the solution lays in the spec complexity. Haven’t thought of this much, so my wrongthink knee jerk reaction is make a set of reference test harnesses part of the SOT of the spec, and that is the first step towards more robust implementations. Would like to hear how others have approached this problem space.
Interesting how the Linuxes were picked and split up. I understand the difficulty on where to draw the line on what Linux to add - so many out there.
