I know some doctors in affected areas. The hospitals were overwhelmed before any unvaccinated firings happened. The staff are incredibly exhausted, angry, and demoralized. Many went through this before with the first big wave, and not only are they back to insane hours and filling body bags, but now they have to deal with the awareness that it's unnecessary and avoidable.

If you'd like to confirm, dig up some medical staff on Twitter. "MedTwitter" is a thing. (But don't search based on keywords like "vaccine", because you will find what you seek. It'll be massively biased in a pro-vaccine direction. Find the medical professionals first, then see what they're saying.)

I think the question of whether to allow unvaccinated staff is a tricky one. I don't think it should be decided because some people are pissed off at vaccine resisters, and I haven't seen any strong evidence that it is. (I haven't looked, either.) Unvaccinated staff put their patients and coworkers at risk if they work, or if they don't work. Someone has to do the math.

Similarly for government intervention. It really bothers me when the government mandates anything. But I think of it like this:

Let's say I'm in a community that is fond of keeping tigers as pets. 5% of the population dies every year from wild tiger attacks. Many community members insist on letting their tigers be off-leash, calling it a fundamental part of their identity as tiger owners. Off-leash tigers kill 50% of the (remaining) human population each year.

I don't like leashing my tiger. But over half the people I know are dead. I would gather the community together and say, sorry guys, but we're going to have to agree to keep our kitties on leashes, no matter how friendly we think they are. And we're going to have to back up that agreement with expulsion, imprisonment, or taking tigers away. It sucks, but the risk is too high.

55% annual death rate is insanely high, but it makes the point that there is a number at which community (aka government) mandates are the right thing to do. We can argue at where the number ought to be, but not whether or not there is a number.

Right now, there are a lot of people dying, and a lot of "dry wood" that the virus is burning through. I think it's time to wet some of that fuel, whether it wants to get wet or not. (And even though we know some of that wet wood is still gonna burn.)
Why not combine the "hotdog" filter with the collaborative filtering to make much better predictions about mutual engagement by specific users?
For East/West Berlin, that shows that geographic closeness doesn't determine national boundaries. The national boundary can be defined in terms of geography, but geography doesn't determine national boundaries. National boundaries are defined by people.

Similarly, racial boundaries are not natural genetic boundaries. Racial boundaries are defined by people. They weren't defined in terms of genetics originally, they were social and legal definitions. You could try to define race in terms of genetics, but it wouldn't exactly match historical categorizations and it won't conform to any natural genetic differences.
I'm not making a claim of validity. I'm pointing out how the term "violence" has evolved in contemporary society.
If there are white responsibilities, there must be black responsibilities too, what are those?

Maybe ask her instead: https://twitter.com/desiraethinking

At least she's black, but maybe her opinions aren't black enough?

Madness lie that way anyway, so better embrace it and let go of the stereotypes.

I prefer the term "structural discrimination" though, and have no doubt it's real and a much bigger problem to tackle.
It did that for me then changed back.
Intel Unveils Sapphire Rapids: Next-Generation Server CPUs – WikiChip Fuse
Two reasons come to mind: Wages are sticky, especially on the down-side. If they pay more now they will have a hard time reducing that pay. New hires might refuse to work if they know what a previous employee was paid, etc. And the current lack in labor supply is considered temporary by most companies.
Google has been rolling out an astoundingly aggressive anti-remote policy from what we've heard - and it's probably even more aggressive internally. I wouldn't be surprised if they're just losing a lot of the folks that realized quality of life matters to them.
You should be able to detect deviations from the paths your sensors should travel based on all known objects.

Those deviations must then be caused by unknown objects.

Deducing where a large enough such object is seems entirely possible.
It's interesting for me to read this, because it's very much the trope(s) of what high tech jobs are - or what people imagine them to be.

Interesting, because I work for a large tech firm (Fortune 50) that's been around for a while. We don't have basically any of the stuff listed. No free meals, no fancy break rooms, kegs, parties, vacations, etc. But what we have is pretty good pay. Not sports cars in the parking lot pay, but pretty good.

The other thing is that the site I work at is in a smaller college town (< 60k population) in a nice, relatively quiet part of the US. So quality of life is pleasing.

Personally as far as my work career goes, I rather like this arrangement.
Yeah, I don’t know how these hard-paywalled articles keep making it to the front page. My understanding has always been that if there is no workaround, it isn’t allowed here.

Apart from the "evil" cliche you're right. It seems like all these executives are trying to do some growth hacking when a product hasn't gone viral.

This guy probably promised significant user growth to his manager by adding all these coupon and using "AI". I have installed the app and none of the new features appeal to me and I don't see why it would appeal to anyone else. Probably none of these executives even use this product themselves and just chase trends they've heard about.

None of them seem to have any intuition on what makes for a good product. All they are chasing is growth numbers to boast about in a presentation and get promoted/rewarded for.

Can't understand why these executives are paid so much given their track record.
I provided a real world example that you haven't considered before.

Your condescending responses are hardly genuine attempts at finding a plausible explanation for me being downvoted by people who can't think that pointing out thing A is better than thing B even though thing C exists and is the correct approach most of the time.
Seems pretty insane when they have an operating margin of 40%, but I think that's looking at the corporation and not the franchisees.
Yes! I like the phrase (stolen from Sam Harris) "begin again". To me that means that your life is not in the past. All you have is the capacity to do something right now in this moment. Don't burden yourself with expectations or fantasies about the future either, just do something in this moment.
They don't have fine grained banning because the abuse system was made for a user base that pays them no money, so it's a blunt instrument optimized towards cost savings. Steam I've heard is more fine grained, and might just do online gaming bans or communication bans.
Or IPC? Does WebAssembly have something like Web Workers?
This is pretty neat, and possibly a really interesting way to show people what WebAssembly can do!! I can see myself using this for a project I have been thinking of, and when I get around to giving it a go, it will definitely come up easily in my mind!
Full authorization would probably mean it would be included in the VICP.
I am an iOS and MacOS developer and have gotten my updates rejected for my release notes not being descriptive enough of what it changes. Yet Apple regularly gives exceptions to the big guys like Facebook, Uber etc apps and now themselves. Apple’s developer guidelines specifically warn developers to not put vague release notes but the rules often get partially applied.
Your phone still works fine. Those security patches not being installed means probably very little.

For the client side of things WebAuthn contains a standard option to block/allow "platform" authenticators, which I empirically know includes Windows Hello, and I'm not sure about Apple's or other equivalents. Of course you'd still want to verify the attestation on the server side.
Nowadays the best performing traders share their edge to make their edge. Pump and dumping small market-cap cryptos can lead to insane ROI if you're seen as 'the best trader' because them jumping in is how you get that nickname in the first place.

I could recommend Dokku and Ledokku as they are a fine self-host alternative for small PaaS operation needs.

I’m really interested in reading more of your story. Have you ever done a write up or a longer piece? Or is there one by someone else that you think is fairly on the mark?

They claim their H is resistant to adversarial attacks, so they are claiming this to be difficult.

If I took an exact public perceptual hash function implementation and used that as H in your contest, it might be possible for a researcher attacking all public perceptual hash functions to stumble on the right one within 40 days.

I agree with you that we are trusting Apple to implement this competently. This isn’t something that can be proved to work mathematically where nothing about the implementation has to be kept secret.

So worse case everything you say could come true but to imply that is likely is wrong.
That’s lovely. Bad news is a bunch of edgelords don’t get to dictate how language is used or what it means.

> it can be used to control things even if I don't have the conf call window I'm in in the foreground

Just to clarify, by “foreground” do you mean:

1) a split screen scenario where the video conferencing window is visible but not in-focus? or

2) the video conference window is under another window / not the active tab and therefore not visible?

(1) is actually something I never registered that actually makes our platform valuable even for traditional conferencing so thanks for concretizing that!

> I'm overall less convinced by the "control by phone" flow

This is fascinating. We actually built the phone pairing feature because of some earlier feedback that the hand tracking features would be too difficult for average consumers to use. Could you possibly elaborate on why you’re less convinced by the phone pairing feature? As an engineer at heart, I’m looking for any reason to keep iterating on the cool hand tracking features :)

All your other ideas are great! Will definitely add them to our todo list

You're right. We both made an analytical mistake, although yours was much bigger. If that means I don't read, then you must not read well either. Congrats on devolving to personal insults about my character though. I guess that means you ran out of data-based arguments.

If we adjust for my mistake and make 426 the denominator, the odds go up to 3.5%. If we take into account that at least half of cases go unreported, the odds drop to 1.75% or lower. If we take into account that 25% or more ICU COVID cases aren't really COVID-related, (hard to find data on that but it was what was reported that way for Florida last week), the odds go down to 1.3%.

I apparently read well enough to instantly spot that 10% ICU conversion of infected unvaccinated is a bogus number. And my Israel data mistake didn't affect my conclusions at all. Maybe you should work on your reading?

Techbros are like moths to a candle when it comes to healthcare. There's a vast amount of money in it, a lot of the processes appear to be (or are) clunky and crufty, and you get to pretend you're just out to save the world while you make your first billion.

But the unfortunate reality is you can't just go "hack stuff", disrupt some paradigms, craft a few apps, throw in some AI, sprinkle some crypto around, code it all up in the cool language and technology stack of the month, and come up with something useful. It's long hard thankless grinding work that's frequently blocked by regulations, risk adverse institutions, interoperability with legacy systems, and people and business processes more so than simple matters of technology.

You also have to accept you frequently won't be the smartest person in the room when you're dealing with healthcare professionals, which is real kryptonite to a lot of move-fast-and-break-stuff types.

> Jobs aren’t for financially sustaining you—they’re for financially sustaining us.

That is the crux. I feel like most businesses actually don't produce enough value to justify their own existence and therefore require below cost-of-living wages to keep them afloat.

Data for me but not for thee. Interesting contrast with the west. I wonder how successful they’ll be in enforcement and whether the enforcement will become a tool to squash successful businesses that threaten the party’s dominance (like jack ma).
Don't deceive yourself. The numbers involved and the underlying reality are a little different than what you're thinking, since it all depends on where you draw the lines. The entire state of Victoria, including Melbourne, has something like 6.7 million people. [0] The United States has 11 combined statistical areas [1] with populations greater than Victoria. The way large cities are laid out, it often makes little sense not to include the suburbs.

LA County and the Chicago metropolitan area each have roughly ten million people, and NY metro is at least twice that. They are really, really big. The most interesting thing about Melbourne and Victoria is its rapid population growth. The graph might not be a hockey stick, but it is extremely steep.

Right, the Google Photos service does this, but it's a cloud service, it's not on-device.
How can this interpretation be the common one when a common knowledge collection like Wikipedia says otherwise? (I've checked eight language versions besides the English one. Please note also the historic background of this term which is in sync with the common definition).

What you describe as "common" is a framing. Someone tries to blur the distinction between "some random BS" (like alien abductions, flat earth, whatever) and proper theories that suspect some conspiracy. The goal is likely to push any conspiracy theories into the space of random BS so that they can be dismissed easily without further discussion.

That's exactly the topic we're talking about here: "Conspiracy theory" is made into a thought-terminating cliché.
Nice idea! One problem is that most original posts are removed.
I have firefox default to private sessions, use an adblocker, and never log in to YouTube and it's a much better experience. The algorithm has nothing to work with, so you see the stock entries on the first page. Then when you search for something you get only things related to that search as suggestions, which is actually useful. It's bliss for about an hour, then the algorithm knows enough about you to start trying to make your life miserable again and it's time to close the tab and start over. Discovery is more difficult, since you have to come up with what rabbit hole you want to go down, though.
I think it was Tim Cook who made an interesting point about there being far fewer manufacturing engineers in the US than in China.

Presumably it might be possible to improve the domestic supply by investing in training, offering higher wages, etc., but companies are more likely to simply hire abroad.

> racial boundaries are not natural genetic boundaries.

Perhaps, but one is a function of the other.

> They weren't defined in terms of genetics originally, they were social and legal definitions

As far as I'm aware, they were originally actually craniometric definitions (courtesy of Blumenbach) -- unsurprisingly, because contemporary physical anthropology didn't have a lot to work with.

> but it wouldn't exactly match historical categorizations

Even some of your "social and legal definitions" don't match the historical craniometric categorizations. For example the peculiar historical US notion according to which the "white people" group doesn't include the Irish doesn't match Blumenbach's craniometric categorization. So I'm not sure how the arbitrarily defined US-style castes (which is what they really seem to be, cf. the "one drop rule" and such) are useful here when even older categorizations match the prehistoric reality better.
We had Clubhouse in the 80s? Are you sure?
Thanks for sharing your experience. Can I ask why you went to a doctor and not a therapist? Wouldn't they have been able to lead you down that path too?
I'm not describing exposure, i'm talking about infection where the virus enters the bloodstream, regardless of test results (which aren't perfect and may not even be taken if the person is asymptomatic).
10% is 180. That seems pretty far outside of the expected range of "dozens".
No. It's 70-80%. So, I overstated it, but the gap against theocratic America remains stark, no?

During my last round of interviews, I chose to spew out salary numbers. This is because I exclusively interviewed with recruiters who reached out on LinkedIn (sometimes you have to know your limits on how much effort you're willing to put in while employed).

I found a recruiter who was reasonably decent (placed a friend of mine). I asked what top-of-band for my YOE in my COL seemed to be, and he said $130k-$140k. I then gave $150k as my requirement to all future companies. Too many were saying yes, so I upped it to $170k, then $190k, then at $200k I only got one bite. (Caveat: of course I asked for numbers from them first - when the recruiter was unwilling, depending on my mood I would say I wasn't willing to proceed further without a comp range, or I would give out my desired number and see what they said.)

I might have missed out on companies willing to offer $200k while earlier in this process, but about half of the recruiters reaching out were positions offering $100k, and I was unwilling to waste that much time in interviews for jobs I didn't want.

In case anyone wants to know how it ended, I told my current company (paying $120k) that I was in final interview rounds for $200k and I wanted to quit to focus on studying for interviews. They offered me $200k to stay and I accepted.

TL;DR: Interviews take a long time. If you're some rando on LinkedIn and they're some random company you've never heard of, it's not worth assuming they'll be able to pay you enough and going through the process.
Yes, specifically the law of physics that says that whenever you want to exercise, the energy stored in your fat cells will magically teleport itself into your muscles.

Without this law of physics, CICO becomes quite useless as a weight loss advice. Yes, you want to burn the calories, but the calories are not moving to the muscles where they could be burned by exercising. What is your next step?
Facebook sucks.what else is new.have not had a personal account in a decade after they terminated it. No regrets.i do however own the stock and remain very optimistic about the business but not for me. Sucks to invest to so much time in a platform that can take it all away from you without warning.
Largely just re-publishing Intel's slides, but still interesting.

"Intel’s Gracemont Small Core Eclipses Last-Gen Big Core Performance" compares to Skylake (2015) core performance which seems a bit more stale than "last-gen" by now.

I didn't skim everything yet.
I meant that the flat system of crypto where (at least before industrial mining), people could spin up mining rigs (which is still possible, I think at least with some altcoins), but also, that the barrier to entry for folks trading crypto is lower than traditional markets. Some may chalk this up to the need for KYC/AML, but I think there are intentional barriers to entry for individuals that people in power don't want to have access to say, equity markets, that don't exist as much in crypto markets. I don't think crypto markets should be used to supplement terrorism, money laundering, tax avoidance, or anything else like that, but if you take a look at say, Robinhood, who tried to lower some of these barriers to entry to traditional markets, I think crypto as a whole is trying to do that. I also have said in other posts, and will continue to, that blockchain analytics will only continue to get more advanced, so the narrative that crypto is only used for illegimate activity is bullshit. I do think that it is a power to the people that can't be stopped, due to its decentralized nature, and that it is the only possibility I've seen so far as an alternative to everything else going on that requires sovereign government policy and currencies (that are backed by war, control, etc).
These are the sort of people have profiles with "be kind" on them, and constantly congratulate themselves for being tolerant and inclusive (unlike the angry fearful intolerant divisive subhuman others).
