Anyone else thinks the video looks a lot like CGI?

Nice job, nonetheless.
Many of those papers are in big name journals and many non-scientists are discussing them, I'm not sure how you think this is evidence of censorship?
No dogma. Most people are just tired of anti-vaxers and their excuses.

Edit: this went downhill rather quickly :(

I'm not a particularly pessimistic person in general, but I don't know ...this tech, while cool, feels like the precursor to a worse future in general. Maybe I've seen too much sci-fi, but these robots look like optimizing for future soldiers, law enforcement etc. Given all the other Self-Driving / Facial Recognition / Loss of Privacy / Deepfake / "AI is bad at recognizing $situation"-type posts, and as all these techs converge I just feel melancholy, not optimistic. I feel like "AI Robot cops show implicit bias resulting in 3 deaths" or "Robot Cop shoots innocent person after facial recognition goes bad" or "Crowd Control Bots kill 55 at peaceful protest" - type headlines are the future here.
This is where I stand. Just because their current trajectory puts them in the ground, doesn’t necessarily mean that in 6 months they actually will fail.

Considering every startup ever has had a runway (i.e. how many months until we fail), the fact that even some have survived should remove complete confidence that Uber _will_ fail.
Not ironic, as I understand the concept.
It would help if the author refrained from poor framing and abusing the trope of the blithe self-centered American presented as if we were the only ones culpable of such infraction.

Let’s have a 360 review, I’ll taint it by first talking about a bunch of bad stuff everyone has done, but I’ll pin it on you for this review, after I’ve said a bunch of bad stuff, I’ll redeem you a little by offering some hope, how does that sound?
The point is to stop and think about what you're reading. Same goes for postwar economic booms.

- No smoking, or chewing tobacco

- Don't drink excessively

- Stay at a good weight

- Use sunblock

- Eat healthy (notably, reduce consumption of red meats)

- Get your recommended cancer screenings (mammograms, colonoscopies, prostate exams, etc)

Other tips for specific populations:

- Vaccinate children against HPV

- Some experts recommend Hepatitis C screening for Baby Boomers
Hi! If I want to create a somewhat more extensible alternative of https://maps.sensor.community based on Leaflet, what plugins should I choose?

As one of the comments on the video says, that feeling is an example of the "uncanny mountain" effect.
What would the motivation be here? Just to get a paper out?

Does the insurance company have any involvement / motivation?

Outside someone at the insurance company who want an outcome of the paper to fit some goal of their own, hard to imagine the insurance company would "care" about the results enough to mess with the data. Although I'm open to the possibility that someone was just lazy and they wanted another dataset and so someone just fabricated it based on another dataset to just get it done with.
I meant it sarcastically. Perhaps no one did say that at the time. My point was that it would obviously be ridiculous if they did.
Right? The insurance company doesn't have a hypothesis they're married to. You'd think they would really just want to know an actual technique to improving mileage honesty among their policyholders. It's the researcher who has the motive to show a significant finding. But I can also see Ariely's contact at the firm wanting to "help him out" by providing "good"(!) data.

I'm going through the responses from the other 3 study authors, and I'm seeing a pattern in their replies. They're all—as gently and politely as possible—laying it at Dan Ariely's feet. (He does so as well in his own response; but there's a tiny whiff of skepticism—at least in my reading between lines—that he was blameless.) Mr. Bazerman's response seems the strongest in this regard.

From Francesca Gino[1]:

> I start all my research collaborations from a place of trust and assume that all of my co-authors provide data collected with proper care and due diligence, and that they are presented with accuracy. In the case of Study 3, I was not involved in conversations with the insurance company that conducted the field experiment, nor in any of the steps of running the study or analyzing the data.

From Max H. Bazerman[2]:

> The first time I saw the combined three-study paper was on February 23, 2011. On this initial reading, I thought I saw a problem with implausible data in Study 3. I raised the issue with a coauthor and was assured the data was accurate. I continued to ask questions because I was not convinced by the initial responses. When I eventually met another coauthor responsible for this portion of the work at a conference, I was provided more plausible explanations and felt more confidence in the underlying data. I would note that this coauthor quickly showed me the data file on a laptop; I did not nor did I have others examine the data more carefully.

From Nina Mazar[3]:

> I want to make clear that I was not involved in conducting the field study, had no interactions with the insurance company, and don’t know when, how, or by whom exactly the data was collected and entered. I have no knowledge of who fabricated the data.

and

> This whole situation has reinforced the importance of having an explicit team contract, that clearly establishes roles, responsibilities, and processes

> Florida has a higher age 65+ vaccination rate than California or New York

No, California has 97% and Florida has 93%; California also has higher age 18-64 and 12-17 vaccination rates [0], has a number of local jurisdictions that have resumed indoor masking mandates (including many school districts for in-person education, with many of those that haven’t adopted mandates having parent-option virtual academies available) rather than a state government attempting to prohibit mask mandates. Countermeasures are more than just vaccines.

But, in any case, you didn’t answer the question: Are you willing to accept the degree of healthcare overload and the effects it is having on healthcare workers as a permanent or at least frequently recurrent state and accept the COVID and non-COVID deaths from exhausting ICU space, and the high burnout we’ve seen in the healthcare field? Is your plan to radically expand healthcare expenditures to expand capacity and attract/retain people in the field with that as the normal condition? Or are you willing to see the same load with dwindling capacity?

EDIT: forgot the link.

> Everyone agrees the PRC is the sole China.

This is not even close to true.

> For Americans, an analogy for Taiwan - the Confederacy lost the Civil war, but ran away to Hawai, assimilated the locals, calls itself the CSA and claims the whole of the US in its constitution.

A decent anology. If that happened, then many people on both sides would still being willing to fight and die for it today.

That sounds a lot like "two countries" to me.
It's tricky, because between condoms, PREP and PEP (pre- and post-exposure drugs) and treatments now being good enough that life expectancy with HIV is nearly the same as without, it'd take very low risks of side effects before giving it to everyone would cause more harm than not giving it.

So the safety profile will be hugely important in determining how widely to use it.
I agree that they weren't particularly good pieces of advice. However I think it gives the lie to your assumption that this is a given.
To be clear, Truvada (or Descovy) for vast majority of people will have essentially no side effects. There is a small increase in chance of kidney disease, mainly for those with other risk factors, the risk profile is similar to over the counter ibuprofen.

"HIV-positive individuals who use Truvada to control their infection are more likely to experience kidney damage and bone density loss than those who take it to prevent HIV infection, as so-called pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)[2]. But “no significant health effects have been seen in people who are HIV-negative and have taken PrEP for up to 5 years,” according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Numerous studies have shown that the risk of HIV-negative Truvada users developing kidney disease is not statistically significantly different from those taking placebo[3]."

The implication of the original comment was that any C-style language engineer could learn any C-style language in a day. I'd even argue that point, but it definitely doesn't get you J in a day, except that an supports most C-style syntax.

So you can program in J like a C-programmer in a day. You definitely can't program like a J-programmer. And to say a competent engineer would already have array-language experience sidesteps the point.
This is great news. Thank you. AlmaLinux 8 is everything CentOS should have been all along. It is nice to see a community around Linux come together so complete and provide things we have wanted as a community for so many years. Keep up the great work.

Metro Atlanta is like this too. You have the core inside the perimeter with about 500,000 people, then a bunch of nearby cities, and a bunch more that still have a lot of commuter traffic to and inside the perimeter. It adds up to about 7 million people.

He’s mad because nobody thinks of city limits. Toronto became the greater Toronto area and now it’s 6M people but the population didn’t change, just the imaginary lines around it.
Google hangouts is garbage. I have never had a hangout call that didn’t freeze or have someone dropout. The audio on hangouts is beyond bad and makes people sound completely different than they do in person. The video quality is always grainy on my fiber connection. Zoom doesn’t have these problems for me.
Landkit looks clean. I'm not using bootstrap but will keep the landkit example in my backpocket.
I think the answer is that Apple killed 3rd party cookies on their browser- which includes every single website view from an iPhone, and Mozilla is working on the same thing. So Google, even with full control of Chrome, the most popular browser, could read the writing on the wall that 3rd party cookie tracking was on its way out. The adtech industry has responded so far in ways that undermine security completely- mostly trying to get their cookies counted as first party (which also means that their scripts can view the first party's data, e.g. they can steal your persistent log-in!).

So Google has been trying to come up with something that Apple will let them get away with. Either give up on targeted advertising to iPhone/iPad users or come up with something better than third party cookies.
We've gotten chicks, salt water fish, coral, ladybugs, and live fish food all through the mail. But apparently we can't mail my buddy in a different state some local beer. Oh well, I love my fresh eggs and colorful reef tank :)

Well, my org uses Teams and I don't know anyone who uses Zoom professionally.
True, it doesn't seem to work so well, see screenshot:

Google owns youtube, which is by far the biggest website that supports RSS.
A similar thing happened in Minneapolis very recently. As the third precinct burned in the riots following George Floyd's death, officers at the second precinct destroyed documents, case files, search warrants and records.

The lack of accountability at the MPD is astonishing (not to mention other departments), and is the reason they are being investigated by the Department of Justice.
How long of a job do you need to run?

We use Azure Timer Functions and/or Logic Apps to run and monitor our jobs. All of those languages are supported.
I mention co-infections because the treatment for Lyme (doxycycline) is not as effective with some coinfections. Like I think the treatment for Babesia is clindamycin + some form of quinine. It's a parasite that infects red blood cells, kind of like malaria. So one possibly out of many is your wife could have been treated successfully for Lyme, but still have an underlying active co-infection. That's why seeing the right doctors is so important.
>and is mindlessly progressing along so effectively that despite all of our technological capability we can barely contain it.

In theory we already have the technology to eliminate HIV. People taking PrEP have a >99% reduced chance to catch HIV. The drugs used to treat HIV can reduce viral levels in HIV+ people to the point that it's impossible for them to transmit it.

This is debunked, but maybe a comment about how this relates to Godel's theorems:

1) the first Godel's theorem says that if a theory of arithmetics is complete then it must be inconsistent,

2) the second is that a theory of arithmetics cannot prove its own consistency, specifically if it proves its own consistency then it is actually inconsistent.

This thesis (with an invalid proof) says "no consistent theory of arithmetics can exist", regardless of whether it's completely complete.
Look for Oeko-Tex certifications too. My wife is in textiles and is impressed with their processes. A lot of "organic" sheets are not carefully sourced and are not actually organic.
A wild guess would be that he is trying to remake a centralised decentralised Twitter. I think he just wants to keep one hand in somewhere that can be spun as something else when Twitter will start being unbearable if it hasn’t already. Something like the Banks first dissing crypto and now lining up to make “their own crypto”.

I mean who knows. But he not even acknowledging ActivityPub in any of those N insipid tweets, even after being reminded by others, says volumes about his intentions.
This is the first time I have seen a language that extends/integrates markup in a way that does not feel superfluous.
It's comparing two completely different kinds of population centers. Places like Miami were built up after WW2, so populations that might live in a grid in NYC live within 30-50 minutes by car and make the trip regularly, often daily. They're not "in the city," but they're in the city.
Every time this comes up I feel compelled to say that I find the source code really ridiculously readable, even as the project grows and more apps and features are added.

Looking for co-founders (for a social 3D animation Platform)
Hey everyone,

This is Pradeep Baskaran (29).

I'm looking for two co-founders to work with on a social 3D animation platform called Highavenue (https://highavenue.co/).

- An Unreal/Unity developer (Min 3 years experience; C#/C++ developer with good knowledge in CG)
- A Creative Art Director (Min 3years experience in storyboarding, creative 3D design, illustrations etc.)

Highavenue is a simple & easy-to-use mobile app where any novice consumer can create & share 3D animated scenes of length 15-30s within minutes. Along with the app, we are also building a MOCAP suit that just costs around 120-150 USD.

https://www.instagram.com/highavenue.co/reels/

A simple thesis behind working on this:
All forms of content like audio, songs, photos, videos, long-format writing, short-format writing, messaging etc., have been democratized and available as a social product except for 3D animations and VFX. One could argue, AR effects & filters can be a great substitute but creators are unable to capture and produce immersive stories.

Text -> MS word -> Twitter, Substack, Medium
Photos -> Photoshop -> Instagram
Videos -> Premiere Pro -> TikTok
Audio -> Clubhouse, breaker, etc.,
Self expression -> Snapchat
3D animation -> Maya, blender, Unreal, Unity etc., -> ???? (this is where Highavenue comes in).

Already have a small team of animators(3D generalists) & a developer, and also an early alpha version of the product is built. I'm looking at high-quality cloud rendering, NFTs, and B2B immersive 3D ads as revenue models. If you are interested please write to pradeep@highavenue.co

About me: Semi-technical founder, 6+ years of professional experience, (think of me as Product Manager & UI/UX person). For the last 3 years, I've been running a tech studio for clients offering services in AR/VR, 3D animations, full-stack web & mobile dev, and in a few areas of AI/ML. Whenever we had some time off we would build & iterate Highavenue. The previous version of Highavenue was this (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26239429). And after talking to over 200+ users, we are pivoting to the above product/idea. So basically, all the experiments have been done and I'm super confident of what we are building now.

Please note:
- I don't have the so-called "Pedigree" or "the Ivy League" tags (the MIT, Stanford or IITs etc.,); VCs have rejected me for that. My previous work experiences and my love for cartoons, anime, & films have somehow brought me to this path. I absolutely love building this (kind of a perfect founder-product fit).
- I'm not looking for an investment from you. (your expertise in the particular field matters).
- We can talk about the equity once you get to know me and the vision.
Damn man I thought I was like the only kid out there playing ev on that crappy computer. It’s crazy to think that there was at least one other kid doing the exact same thing
Certainly impressive. I almost get the sense that these robots would be bored out of their minds working in an Amazon fulfillment center.
Same. It's undeniably cool. But with developments like this, I just picture humanity slowly writing its own epitaph.
Beautiful project.

Imba website looks great and the code examples explain it well. The React-like server-side rendering with the .html imports is phenomenal!
Any chance we could get more than a single screenshot?
> why would one want to use an outdated Qt version?

Well, why would someone want to implement an outdated 90s UI? Apparently there are good reasons.

I have many projects even with Qt4.4 and no need to go to a later Qt version. Qt4 already had everything I ever expected. Qt5 brings a couple of advantages (e.g. better modularization and backend API), but Qt5.4 is good enough for that.
Like the Seattle area, or the SF bay? Those aren't any better, frankly. Too many people packed into small spaces. Even the precisely manicured green spaces get packed full of people, ironically looking to escape.
Before sending off my CV I always spin around three times and say a prayer to Russel's Teapot. The results I get with this practice are enough proof for me.

Ok, it's not an extraordinary stretch to imagine that your form might help, but all you've actually demonstrated is that it's not catastrophically damaging!
Would Chronofold works for this too?
In case it's helpful to know, it's highly likely that the baby birds that you helped shipped were destined for pretty nice places! Factory farms don't get their birds this way, but small farms do. Also of note, of the dozens times that we got baby birds shipped to our farm when I was a child, it was very very rare to find more than one or two that didn't survive the trip. And sometimes we'd get shipments without a single loss.
Strangely portions look like stop-motion with the stuttering.
Yes there is a waste prevention piece, but the key thing on a personal level is preventing the purchase of the new item of clothing for some purpose that you were looking for.

The moment the money exchanges hands for the new product, that is additonal commerce which functionally “locks in” the emissions and the associated incentive structure. It’s less about buying used, as it is about reducing the buying of new.
If your estimates are true, focusing solely on GDP once again ignores the externality of the millions of people who will die or be displaced by climate change.

Saying "GDP will come out okay" is equivalent to saying "the rich will come out okay", which may well be true, and you may find that comforting. Other people, perhaps not so much.
Most likely it’s real. That said, we don’t know how many 10s-100s of takes this was done in. This single video could be the results of hundreds of hours of fine tuning parameters.
Sounds like the classic case of a bunch of folks involved and the important thing is 'nobody's job' and so nobody does it.

You see this in engineering failures when a bunch of companies or groups are involved to limited extents and everyone does their part, but nobody does something important because it wasn't defined who would do that.
Nice writeup and interesting results. I hadn't seen the use of perf_event_open(2) before directly in code which looks cool.

The baseline is at a huge disadvantage here because the call to atan2 in the loop never gets inlined and the loop doesn't seem to get unrolled (which is surprising actually). Manually unrolling by 8 gives me an 8x speedup. Maybe I'm missing something with the `-static` link but unless they're using musl I didn't think -lm could get statically linked.
Zoom is not end to end encrypted at all, and they can see every video stream. Also their clients had vulnerabilities in the past.
I've seen tons of libraries of these and every big company seems to make their own, then try to release it to "help others." It's a noble idea, but the reality is that most of the cruft in those component sets won't be useful to app developers who aren't making apps for that company.

In other words, you are likely to need too many customizations even to leaf components to be able to use someone else's.
Most developers develop for iOS nowadays, not MacOS. MacOS is increasingly an afterthought serviced by electron wrapper apps. I think it's much more likely they'll replace the Mac OS SDKs with the newer iOS equivalents.

You can now write an iOS app which runs on the desktop, and I suspect that's the direction Apple will promote - write once for iOS and it'll run anywhere, including Mac OS.

They'll obviously keep the brand Mac OS, as they do for iPad OS, but it would become the same OS as iOS once the SDKs are the same, the underlying OS is the same already (Darwin), and many frameworks are shared.
