Oh man.. good luck. I don't think AI can ever replace human gaming coaches. Maybe for things like chess which have very strict rule-set.

Thing is, competitive games are so dynamic that there are countless options every single moment, and getting better is knowing how to choose the right option to minimize errors. Improving only comes from 3 things: Practice, watching your own games, and then practicing more. Human coaches are great because they can pinpoint tactical mistakes you've made throughout the game, as well as letting you know when you've done well, and there wasn't much you could have done better.

Things like "Early game gold loss" are absolutely meaningless, because many times that is completely acceptable in regards to your game plan. It's like saying "Opponent played better than you in the start".

These kind of things are more like "slight advantage in preparation to the match", but the Valorant stuff seems like straight up unfair advantage (i want to refrain from the word cheating but it's cutting close). Your true but "doesnt sound as good" marketing should be - we'll help you win more games up to a certain level where we aren't efficient anymore.

But hey, like I said, good luck.
I think about this often in relation to stromatolites[0]. The earliest evidence of life on Earth ranges from immediately after liquid water appeared on the surface to one billion years after, depending on whether or not you think the specific evidence is of abiotic origin.

That's a big range! If life appeared within a few million years of liquid water, it has huge implications for the probability of life elsewhere in the universe.

I was just thinking the exact same thing. For technical and especially non-technical folk, getting a full nextcloud host set up and working is going to take significantly more time than a simple login into 1Password, where it just works.
I am vouching for your comment because I think you made fair criticism and I don't wanna let no stone unturned.

I am a programmer, I don't work in politics, never had, never will.

I have no horse in the race.

Honest to the god(s) that you might or might not believe in.

It's simply not what I am good at.

I just attended informal meetings with people working for EU institutions, it's not uncommon in Brussels, I met many more when I was working in the music concert industry, we shared few drinks and talked about the bands that played that night, not all the people working in EU institutions lobby, but the elected representatives usually do.

It's simply how things are.

I also have a few with people working for the UN in Rome, where I was born and live.

They enjoy a pint the same way I do, we happen to live in the same neighborhood, there's nothing fishy about it, believe me.

I have no chances of becoming the next Kofi Annan.
Reading the above comment, this was the necessary point to pull his cell phone info, not link him to "all" fires; after such a suspicious interaction, the warrant was granted to pull records, and the case strengthened further.
Just run the tests more times per hour. It's literally what you're getting paid to do!
> Instead, I think we should just have very progressive inheritance taxes.

Or you could just have progressive income tax, treat income from gifts and inheritance as income, and allow tax recognition both in advance of income and deferred over a period of years for windfalls (relative to prior-years actual income) so that one-time or irregular income events aren't overtaxed.

We don't need a lot of specialized taxes if we just have a well-thought out general income tax.
I am afraid that vaccinated and not vaccinated people can get infected and infect to others with the same viral load, since Delta variant become dominant months ago in the majority of countries.

It seems the bug can survive three days on plastic surfaces, around three hours through the humidity of the air, and an undetermined number of days on any surface within the fluid after sneezing, spitting, etc.

As the current experimental vaccines are not designed for sterilizing the virus (what would avoid infecting others) this craziness will never stop. variant mutation, vaccine obsolete, variant mutation, vaccine obsolete, add infinitum.

Someones introduced a profit business here. One could think they do not care that both, the virus and this experimental vaccines are hurting and killing people.

I wonder, does it exist some compound for inhale through nose, mouth, able to destroy the capsule what wraps this virus?

I wonder, if all the population were coordinated "From day X to day Y all we will use simultaneously along X days this compound tested against all the variants" could give a good kick in the ass to the virus, if its coordinated with good treatments for infected?

Because what it is sure is this experimental vaccines makes me think more in junkies, the danger, the dependence...

Ooh. Shrill.

I'm pretty okay with this as a stance, to be honest, because folks have been asking those of us who are fully abled, very nicely for a very long time, to stop making things harder for them. Blithe dismissal deserves to be received a certain way.
It may be "easy" but unless you're in the right program at the right time in your life, and most importantly, have the right career trajectory, the MBA itself won't magically "open doors" into an executive suite. Certainly it's not any faster than just painstakingly climbing the career ladder.
You are actively spreading disinformation. SARS-2 ("covid") will never be extinct. It is completely infeasible to eradicate a highly infectious zoonotic respiratory virus w/ abundant animal reservoirs.

> but cloth masks work very well for reducing the likelihood that a covid-positive person will transmit the virus

You cannot possibly honestly make this statement in good faith, considering that there has only ever been one RCT done on SARS-2, and it showed no significant difference for its primary endpoint (self-infection). It didn't measure community spread, presumably because actually measuring that is extremely difficult, which is exactly why no study exists to confirm your statement.

Indeed, all the studies on masking for transmission of respiratory viruses more broadly - for example, Influenza - were quite clear that masks are ineffective in healthcare workers, who have better compliance and skill than random members of the public when it comes to wearing these things. In particular https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4420971/, published April 2015, showed that:

> The rates of all infection outcomes were highest in the cloth mask arm, with the rate of ILI statistically significantly higher in the cloth mask arm (relative risk (RR)=13.00, 95% CI 1.69 to 100.07) compared with the medical mask arm. Cloth masks also had significantly higher rates of ILI compared with the control arm. An analysis by mask use showed ILI (RR=6.64, 95% CI 1.45 to 28.65) and laboratory-confirmed virus (RR=1.72, 95% CI 1.01 to 2.94) were significantly higher in the cloth masks group compared with the medical masks group. Penetration of cloth masks by particles was almost 97% and medical masks 44%.

> This study is the first RCT of cloth masks, and the results caution against the use of cloth masks.

And lo and behold, you specifically called out cloth masks in your comment!

You don't know what you're talking about and you callously disregard the enormous implications of widespread big tech censorship. I hope you reflect on your views and come to see that they are completely backwards.
>the TL;DR is that we don't know your account password and our servers only store your encrypted information (which we cannot read), and communication is done over HTTPS with an additional layer of encryption via the SRP (Secure Remote Password) protocol.

I understand that my data is safe with you guys at rest. I'm sure your security protocols are top notch. But it's all about attack surface. Things can and do go wrong on the internet all the time. Bits get flipped, certs expire, DNS cache gets poisoned, employees get phished, and MITM is an omnipresent threat. I'd just rather avoid all of that.
You know what's really a "major inconvenience"? Getting intubated and not being able to breathe well for the rest of your life, assuming you survive at all.

You know what's really a "major inconvenience" for kids? Dying, or transmitting covid to their parents, killing them, and then growing up with no parents.
We do not target tournaments - any 3.rt part application or a human coach is also not allowed as well.
It's the one higher up this comment thread.
This table[1] posted by @codezero explains it.

> Since 1900, the numbers of recognized meteorite “falls” is about 690 for the whole Earth. That’s 6.3 per year. Only 98 of those occurred in the US. That’s less than 1 per year.

If he's an elected official, charlatan or not, he's the representative of citizens. I have no doubt you're right. But it's still legal to be wrong. (And still our legal obligation to let the wrong speak) don't forget that the history of science was paved with people who were wrong..
Remember: E2EE on phones is not secret.
Maybe he did have imposter syndrome too? He probably went home at night thinking "Why is this con taking so long to pull-off? I'm terrible at this, what do all my conman buddies really think of me?!"
That doesn't mean it's elecrron taking up the space. Native apps are ofteb much larger than that.
I'm not sure that comment applies here. The suggest Dropbox replacement was more complicated than Dropbox, and had more steps. On the other hand, Nix is about the same amount of complexity, and same number of steps for the developer.

Yes, the parent comment looks a bit complicated, but that's just the one time setup, not something that needs to be done by every developer. And Codespaces will require some of that setup too; it's not like it'll magically know what packages and dependancies your project requires to build.
> It's an unworkable idea because:

> * Latency always increases

Yeah, sure... Except that's the whole idea. A resource is perceived as more valuable the scarcer it is; making sure it gets ever more scarce is a way of insuring against it decreasing in value, or hopefully even insuring an increase instead. What you're saying is like:

> Bitcoin is an unworkable idea because:

> The difficulty of "mining" those magic numbers always increases
Let them? First rule of internet is don't trust things on the Internet. Cross reference and double check. Everyone makes mistakes or lies.
Communicating on the internet is a lot like hanging out in a pub. You say stuff to your friends, you don't expect it to be held against you for eternity. Ephemeral communications are pretty healthy for humans, especially as we change over time.
Check out Youtube's Free with Ads movies. Seriously. They've got a good selection of great movies (especially comedies) from the 80s and 90s on there.

Naked Gun series, Oh Brother Where Art Thou?, Raising Arizona, Idiocracy, The Terminal, Major League, Top Secret!, Hot Shots!, Beavis and Butthead Do America, The Terminator, Delirious, Robin Hood Men in Tights, Captain Ron (crap, it's not free anymore), original Robocop, Secret of Nimh, Ghost, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, Silence of the Lambs, Teen Wolf, to name a few.

It's a smaller selection and they don't seem to stay Free for more than a few months, so you have to keep checking it, but there's some good stuff on there.
> Forest Service agents also measured and recorded data about the tire tread pattern left by Maynard's car — evidence that they say ties him to a string of arson wildfires.

That's linking his car to the fire. That's from the article, I'm sure the affidavit itself has more.
So if some restaurant business says X (gays, christians, asians etc) not welcome we don't want to host them, that's fine too?
Ask HN: Progress in Language Models for Programming
Since release of GPT-3 there has been significant progress in using language models to synthesise code.
How fast will this trend continue? How will it effect the job market for programmers?
Current language models like copilot are very ineffective and can only compete with high school student tier programmers. How much longer until they can compete with average programmers?
This seems concerning since it might lead to many of us becoming unemployed.
levels.fyi has MSFT at ~75% of GAAF salaries for equal positions (N is apparently exclusively Seniors getting a cool half mil in pure salary and nothing else? Not sure how accurate that is...)

That being said, it's hard to compare directly. I know many M folks, and some F, G, A and A folks. The M folks probably work at most 75% of the hours of the others. I for one would much rather work a standard 9-5 and make a lot than work 996 (not that extreme, but kinda) and make downright absurd amounts...
Simple: I'm not the one lying for profit and power. That's why I'm who should decide.
It's funny the disposable masks I bought a box of, once, had a warning label on it "these masks do not protect against covid-19". I guess taking a video of that label with my phone is illegal at youtube now?
Most of the money it is from people who have no idea what it is, don't plan to use it for transactions, just think the price in dollars/euros/whatever will go up.
Just wanna give a shout out to tauri's mobile site; it has a "Learn More" button prominently on the first screen, ABOVE the standard "Get Started" button most projects use. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to understand what I'm starting before doing it.
Yes, Valve has a similar vision for CS:GO as well. We don't provide any coaching services for tournament or professional events.
Procedural City Generator
It is misinformation. Masks (cloth or otherwise) were meant to reduce infectiousness, not completely prevent the possibility of infection. Masks (cloth or otherwise) do in fact reduce infectiousness. The misinformation is the implication that masks are pointless because you can still get infected. The point of masks is to get the probability of spreading it down by some multiple, not to be a personal not-my-problem-anymore pass.

This is like saying seat belts don't work because you can still die in a crash.
Alas, that would damage the ransomers' credibility. To the degree victims believe they can walk away without further repercussions after the transaction, the more they're willing to pay in ransom. Leaking victims' data means less money in the ransomers' pockets.
That he completed the programs beforehand is what makes it surprising.
This just seems very dismissive. Maybe you're right that Youtube's speech policies aren't an issue of earth-shattering importance, but that wouldn't mean it's somehow impossible to say that I don't like them and wish they would change.
Not a rage quit, but I absolutely would look elsewhere. Folks are allowed to have dealbreakers for where they work.

A lot of people "rage-quit" basecamp over their no politics thing. I probably wouldn't have, but to each their own.

FWIW, I have also spent lots of time at FAANG, startups, etc and haven't had any trouble finding a great fit. I have also never looked more than a week or two for a job when I wanted to leave, so that does factor into my willingness to leave if I'm not enjoying my job.
>"You seem to be implying that any claim that's involved in partisan politics is either impervious to critical thinking, or that we ought to avoid thinking about such a claim critically because it might upset some people."

I wasn't trying to imply that, but I do see how what I wrote was viewed that way. I was looking at this from the angle of the class being an elective. From that perspective, you would be hard-pressed to present modern issues in a way that doesn't alienate half (presumably) of the prospective students. I'm not saying it can't be done but I don't know how to design such a curriculum.

I feel like you'd have to ease in to examining current partisan issues, otherwise the cognitive dissonance would be too strong. Otherwise I think half of the students would just shut down and not take any lessons to heart.
I fully expect that to happen. And it will catch many people unawares when their iOS app automatically updates and prompts them to "upgrade" to the sync service.
i've been wearing n95 masks for almost two years now and i had no issues with them. i can even workout with an n100 without any problems.
> history of revolutionary communism everywhere it's been tried.

"revolutionary" is a clever way of excluding all of the successful models of socialism - like the scandanavian countries which consistently rank as the happiest countries on the planet.
"Just add accessibility later" is the UI world's equivalent of "just add multiplayer later." Design for it, or it'll never get done and what does get done will be done poorly.

So my bet's on never satisfying them at all.
Talk to some immigrants here in Australia and you’ll find that a lot don’t end up in the industry they were in from their home country. We have some pretty strict rules around qualifications for doctors, engineers etc and a lot of other countries educations doesn’t cut it for our standards. So most end up becoming taxi drivers or cleaners. When you speak with some of them, it’s almost tragic to have a talented individual unable to contribute to the field they’re qualified in. But no one forced them to come. No one forces them to stay. Is that still neocolonialism?
This is awesome. Now - does it have a chance? My gut says yes, because Apple’s lobbying will be met by that of all the companies interested in getting rid of the fees.

My main interest is in sideloading, but I fear that might eventually be compromised away/Apple will meet the demand by themselves to not have to follow the rest.

By the way, devices and services should not be tied either.
Apple shouldn’t be allowed the give their apps and services a special place and special rights only they can use. I should be able to self host my own iCloud (with a third-party implementation). So for me this bill doesn’t go far enough, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction.
Without a local legal entity it is not possible for a company to hire you. (sadly)
I hate the word "dog whistle" because they let people sub in what they think the person said for what they actually said. I have seen otherwise intelligent people who could not even come up with a convincing straw man of what the other side believes for longstanding debates like abortion due to their bubbles.

> Some people have gotten pregnant while on birth control, therefore birth control "doesn't work". Some people wearing seat belts still die in car crashes, therefore seat belts "don't work". This is a tried and true misinformation tactic.

Now look at this from the other perspective: You have an angry person from the other side of the political spectrum insisting to them that their eyes are lying to them and that their opinions should be censored.

Would this be effective persuasion to you?

That's why I say the answer is to add context. To explain how things work and how we know things. There's a great comment on this very thread about the various mechanisms by which masks capture particles for one example.

Or with vaccines, it's not "works vs. doesn't" but that it works X% of the time in preventing infection, reduces the period for which you're infectious by Y, and decreases the chance of serious infection by Z%. We should be making the case that going from unvaccinated to vaccinated reduces your odds of something bad happening from 2% to 0.0002%.

You will note that this doesn't deny their observations, it explains them and recontextualizes them.

This is also part of how I filter opinions on topics, those who can't explain the hows and the whys do not have any useful information to offer and can be ignored.
Fact checking is now censorship?
Of course this is the feedback I’m looking for. Confirmation that I’m wrong is always welcome. That said…

We have a burner account providing a sample size of 1 here, guess I’ll shut it down.
totally agree. That's why I think libraries and other mature code should use static typing, whereas I like to use dynamic typing for code that I am prototyping. This is why I love Typescript, you can have both :)
i guess the pun on AI wouldn't work, but shouldn't it be called sensei?
I like it a lot.

My usually setup is chrome dev tools and some node servers fired up, so quite easy to replicate.

But I still prefer to just move my laptop around.

What’s legitimate is subjective.

Rand Paul is too much of a troll to be given legitimacy
Probably has something to do with the 600k+ dead Americans.
The study is cited frequently but it’s misinterpreted frequently or in a disingenuous way. It merely says that among people earning so much, more money does not contribute as much for happiness. This has some sad realities: by and large the wealthier / higher income are much happier than our poorest, and giving money to our poorest have the largest gains in aggregate happiness. This is consistent with other studies on happiness - money makes everyone a little happier at least, and not having enough is a big problem. Sure, other studies also show how our poorer may be fairly happy and connected to communities and all that, but if you take a look at the data they are from decades and decades ago and include retirees as well.

There is certainly an argument that diminishing returns is true in terms of happiness, but at the same time incomes explode beyond a certain point and data points become a lot more sparse and difficult to correlate back to the population.

It’s quite difficult to not want so much given much of social pressures in developed countries are around consumption. This, the criteria to me is more broad than merely not wanting much - the question is about resisting social pressures and to be comfortable and thankful, and this seems to be inline with the data so far on happiness and social relationships as a whole (happy couples tend to have certain habits and innate drives prior to marriage like being selfless, gracious, etc for example)
Know who knows FAR more about infectious diseases than Rand Paul, a guy who didn't even get a bachelor's degree?

Infectious disease specialists. We already know what they have to say about masks.

Asking Rand Paul for his knowledge on infectious diseases and how they spread is akin to asking a random computer science graduate to tell you how to fix your Windows domain.
How would you know whether the virus can be eradicated with high vaccination rates? We haven't achieved high rates. Anywhere. At all. Ever.

And of course, we have a century of history of viruses that now do not exist anymore because we eradicated them. With vaccines.

So what are you even talking about?
How does Joe Biden's boot taste.
Decreased influenza was influenced by loads of changes - not just masks. Various social distancing measures, schools closing, travel being restricted, etc. I don't think you can conclude anything empirically about influenza and masks without controlling for this dearth of other variables.
I don't have super strong feelings about native v.s. cross-platform UIs, but I think I (and maybe others) think about this question from the "reverse" direction. I expect a given service / app / functionality to work the same everywhere, no matter the platform. This is true of tools I use through my terminal or tools I use in GUIs. Other approaches feel to me like they make using the product more difficult - I may not be able to help someone else on another OS use it, it may mean that an obscure platform has more bugs than a unified approach, etc. I understand why native may make sense, but I do not think it is a given.
