> Yes, you _can_, but at what rate compared to unvaccinated people? It's not the same, real-world data shows that.

The phase 3 trial endpoints were symptomatic infection not asymptomatic infection. The small samples in those studies showed effectively zero efficacy against asymptomatic infection. While the breakthrough cases are largely blaming delta variant being vaccine evading, the real world results dont appear out of line with the mid 2020 clinical trials.

Appologies for the not great reference, and context is only astrazeneca which I understand was less effective against asymptomatic than the MRNA: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/12/phase-3-...

Of the group receiving an initial half-dose of COVID-19 vaccine, 7 of 1,120 (0.6%) participants in the vaccine group and 17 of 1,127 participants (1.5%) in the control group had asymptomatic infections, equating to a vaccine effectiveness against asymptomatic spread of 59%. In those who received two standard doses, 22 of 2,168 participants (1%) in the vaccine group and 23 of 2,223 in the control group (1%) had asymptomatic infection, indicating a 4% vaccine effectiveness against asymptomatic spread.

> This number is meaningless without also knowing what percentage of the people are vaccinated.

I dont get why this is not constantly reported? For the last year 'vaccine efficacy' has been talked about constantly - here we can have a real world, real time calculated vaccine efficacy, stratified by age, race, weight, height, favourite color, with out the excuse of, 'its a tiny rushed clinical trial' and nobody seemingly wants to know.
It is not necessarily about scaling the number of requests, but scaling for developers & security. You will pretty soon hit a point where you need smarter cookies access, CSRF protection, multipart/form-encoded POST requests etc. Sure, you could implement everything yourself, but this is stuff those "frameworks" already solved.

I think it is also worth to mention there are plenty of "slim/light" frameworks that do very little (i.e. take care of threading, provide html request/response as writable streams, have the http headers parsed for you into a Map-like data structure etc.). Those lightweight frameworks exist i.e. express without middleware (nodeJS), Nancy (.NET), Flask (Python) etc. The "full-blown" counterparts would be ASP.NET or Django which bring far more to the table than you might need.

Peterson seems to be full of shit. Can he produce an example of a Canadian who was actually prosecuted for not using the right pronoun? That’s not what the law says.

It does make it a crime to “advocate genocide.” It would take a pretty creative judge to interpret not using a pronoun as advocating genocide. Patent lawyers don’t usually prosecute criminal cases so you are probably safe.

(I do have issues personally with criminalizing any form of speech beyond the absolute most extreme cases. I’m just commenting on what this law actually says.)

Peterson is one of those crackpots who sounds reasonable for a while, then you realize he’s nuts. Go look up his hilarious “lobsters” nonsense.

If you like the stuff about myth and meaning, go read Jung. That’s where Peterson got most of the interesting things he says. Jung is a much better writer too.

What is interesting about Peterson is not original, and what is original is not interesting.

The problems that you are to expect are in an entirely different league, it will not be "yet another slightly non-functional x86 laptop" like the previous Macs. We are talking about a graphics card with fully RE drivers and if it is actually usable it would be a _FIRST_ in the community -- so yes, I'm skeptical. Even Larabel agrees with me:

> the elephant in the room will be the custom Apple graphics hardware and the significant resources there needed to bring up a new driver stack for Apple M1 without any support or documentation from Apple. The reverse-engineering is more complicated there than the likes of other ARM SoCs where at least there is generally closed-source Linux blobs to plug into and slowly replace. Even in those other ARM cases like with Panfrost, V3DV, Freedreno, and Etnaviv it's been a multi-year effort and that is with having a better starting point than Linux on the M1.

I think of my own style of management being less about "saying no" and more about supporting the team and business to find ways to say "yes" that are both sustainable (no burn out or dissatisfaction from developers) and impactful (makes a valuable difference to our customers or business).

Nouveau has a problem with nonredistributable firmware. We don't have that problem because Apple distributes their firmware themselves and it gets loaded before Linux boots. I already put together a prototype installer that deals with the whole firmware situation for users.

You also forget the following issues:

- Irreversible transactions mean that scams, bugs and fraud are much more difficult to fight and revert. If someone steals my card I can cancel it and be safe. What if I lose my crypto wallet?

- DeFi does not actually bring anything new to the table other than "decentralized". It will still have to deal with all the problems of financing and loans, from scratch. Default risk, collection of collateral, predatory loans...

- The current economic system doesn't work too well with deflationary currency.

- Volatility. As long as crypto is more of an investment than a currency, people will prefer to have their actual money in something more stable. And as long as supply is limited, speculation will always be present.

- A big one: governments! It's pretty naive to think that governments are just going to give up monetary policy to an algorithm and a bunch of nodes in the blockchain.

- The main new thing from the blockchain is decentralization and authenticated record of transactions. Claiming that it's going to solve problem that have nothing to do with those two features is wishful thinking, usually from ignorance of the problem space.

It is fine to initially build around a single source/sink, often you have to as you lack the resources to successfully be any more generalist, and often a new product/service evolves out of an interaction with that one entity (or pair of entities if the product acts as a bridge). The risk is staying in that state too long, and the trick is knowing how and when to start diversifying, or at least having a plan for diversification in case it is needed at short notice.
It's also possible to change city designs to be more safety friendly, or to limit speed (under 20mph has the same outcomes whether it's a car or SUV). These changes would be beneficial across the board and not just for a single vehicle type. These would also be more achievable than trying to eliminate SUVs (the ones on the road currently could last decades).

I am assuming the reports you have mentioned are hospitalisaions thus ... are hospitalised at a rate ~100x

The proportion of asymptomatic infections among the included studies ranged from 1.4% to 78.3%. [1] So hard to draw too many conclusions from hospitalisation rates as to the infection rate (and virus carrier / transmitter)

Not sure what the downvotes are for, but ExaFLOP != ExaFLOP for a long time.

An A100 is an ExaFLOP GPU, if you count INT8 as FLOP.

Then you have the 10 different flavors of FP8, FP16, etc. and even the multiple flavors of FP32.

What people usually count as "ExaFLOP" is FP64, but this hardware can't even do FP32, much less FP64.

So yeah, an ExaFLOP != an ExaFLOP anymore, because these types of announcements never say "An ExaFLOP of what".

Everybody's brain has an infinite througput of FP0 (0 bit FP format). That doesn't mean that your brain can compute faster than Dojo, even though infinite ExaFLOPs >>>> 1 ExaFLOP. The reason is that we are counting different things.

So what's the throughput of this hardware in actual FP64 ExaFLOPs ? Zero, it doesn't support them. Not a very impressive marketing statement though. But what this means is that this hardware would be extremely bad at, e.g., solving linear systems of equations.

There isn't a single instance where Apple have put roadblocks in front of Linux support in the history of the Macintosh.

> It's easy to point fingers at large-scale evil-doers, but none of those exist in a vacuum, do they?

Thats the point potamic made the focus is on the evil large-scale doers do not the potential evil of their tech outside of their control, an argument large scale doers tend to hand wave as not going to happen.

Now that it has happened there is no point debating laws as evil doers are not controlled by laws.

This is the argument privacy advocates have made for years and now it has happened it's too late to protect people by changing laws.

Seeing a problem before it happens and presenting a solution to prevent that problem is not being hard to please, it's the exact opposite.

Wanting to weaken privacy so you can invade peoples privacy but not have other invade that persons privacy is being hard to please and its the attitude politicians take and its the root cause of this problem.

The Next ASML: Dutch Company Revolutionizes 3D Printing
I've had this discussion around why we export iron ore and coal rather than steel. Which seems ridiculous to me. Why are we building huge port facilities for vast shipments of coal and iron ore, and not smelters with much smaller port facilities for shipping steel?

The answer I got was that smelters are hugely expensive and last longer than the mines, and so it makes sense to build the smelter near the factories, and ship the raw materials to the smelter from wherever they are being mined currently, rather than building the smelter near the mines and then having to ship raw materials there anyway once the mines run out. I've always thought this was a bit dubious (why is commercially viable to build smelters in Korea but not Aus?), but it does kinda make sense.

So the problem isn't "not enough excess power" but "insufficient infrastructure" coupled with "insufficient government willpower to build a decent manufacturing base here".

> feels like Java in terms of "how I avoid world-freezes by GC"

No… that’s not Go’s GC that you have experience with. I don’t know what language you used that you confused with Go. GC pauses in Go are notoriously tiny, since Go prioritizes consistently low latency. I’ve worked on many Go projects, and GC is not something that I worry about.

> Feels like C in terms of lack of templates

Are you seriously implying that C was not designed for large projects? That it was designed for tiny projects only? Because that’s not what history shows us, and C is used in massive projects like the Linux kernel. (Which causes innumerable CVEs related to human errors that C doesn’t attempt to prevent, unfortunately.)

It also doesn’t matter how fast you can churn out code if it’s Swiss cheese full of memory safety vulnerabilities. No one has ever pointed me to a popular C or C++ project that hasn’t been rife with vulnerabilities that would have been trivially avoided by using any memory safe language… so it’s a fair assumption that any C++ that you’re churning out has problems.

You mention Rust, and that’s a perfectly valid option if you have such a passionate hatred of garbage collectors. But, using C++ for a web service in 2021? No thanks. We need to be minimizing attack surface these days. (Memory safe languages can’t prevent all vulnerabilities, but neither do seatbelts. You should still wear a seatbelt when driving. Unbuckling doesn’t make the car go faster, and seatbelts do prevent certain classes of injuries.)

> it does not follow that they need you as a publisher

This is a large part of why eBay favours the buyer[†]. Yes, they need sellers, but if you stop selling the buyers don't go away so someone else will take your position in their market (no change for eBay overall) or increased competition will increase prices (so eBay make the same despite lower sales due to % of sale based fees).

People buying from sellers using eBay as a platform are the more treasured resource, much the same as the people reading from publishers who are using facebook as a platform, and the same dynamic exists in many other places. Only when a resource is truly both in specific demand and scarce does this situation reverse.

[†] or at least it feels that way to most sellers, buyers still sometimes feel shafted too though that are shafted less than sellers.

So it is definitely not Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and sleep that should make you afraid.
