I think you touch on an important point: you have some expectation and the person doesn't share it. But here is the rub - maybe they are right, not you? Why do you assume you are right? Maybe that person indeed is not needed on that meeting. Maybe by being late they are trying to communicate to you this meeting is in fact a waste of everyone's time. Did you consider this?

For me that's one of the main failing points of NVC as I see it represented here - it starts with "I am right, and you need to adjust" instead of "let's find the underlying root cause of the problem together".

The Author Summary seems to provide a more plain-English description:

"Mosquito saliva proteins have numerous effects on the immune system, and we describe here the use of mice with a humanized immune system to study the effects of mosquito bites on human cells. Our results show that the number of immune cell types affected is much larger than previously described, and some immune responses to mosquito bites can be detected up until 7 days post-bite. The biological significance of these changes remains to be determined, but it might explain how some pathogens, such as viruses, can spread through the body in these cells, replicate to higher extents, and even remain in some tissues for far longer than detected in blood."

They're using stem cells to provide mice with "humanized" immune systems. The mosquito saliva is interacting with more types of immune cells than previously thought and remain active for longer than thought. The effects of these interactions is still unknown, but may be part of how bacteria, viruses, etc. carried by mosquitoes infect humans.
Easy to say now since we have more choices but bootstrap really changed the game for non designers. We still use it in production for our company and it just works.

I was once told by a VC to never do a patent search as the money spent on the search and analysis would be better spent on developing the idea. Bad advice?
>the rate of serious cases among unvaccinated people over age 60 (178.7 per 100,000) was nine times more than the rate among fully vaccinated people of the same age category

So .18% for the most at-risk portion of the unvaccinated.

Very disappointing that on the topic of Software/Toolchain it's more of the same business decisions of just copying the Xilinx/Altera paradigm.

Since they seemed rather non-agressive towards Yosys/SymbiFlow they made me quite hopeful that Lattice would be the fpga players that would kickstart open-source toolchain.

I am tired of being forced to use software that vendors treat as a cost centre. I want to buy your hardware, I want the people that I work with to buy your hw.

I am tired of vendors forcing a graphical programing toolchain that hides complexity behind half baked software. And judging from the Altera/Xilinx forums I know I cannot be alone in this.
That was fantastic. I wish I could watch Razer's executive team react to this video. I feel like many of us have this kind of experience with hardware and software but it's always a private suffering.
As someone in a cognitive-dominant industry on an industry board, I'm baffled why more people aren't discussing long COVID-caused brain fog here. The chances of getting long COVID once infected are better than 1 in 3,000, the odds of a US residential structure fire, an insurable event. If you live in the US, then unless you have established gold-plated short- and long-term disability insurance, then long COVID-caused brain fog for an average HN participant is likely a career-altering diagnosis.
Public acceptance of perpetual lockdowns, or at least at-will lockdowns, probably is the goal. People get more tolerant of authoritarian governments when there's a high prevalence of infectious disease. Governments seeking re-election pushing a narrative that the danger from infectious diseases is high while also being seen to be 'doing something' is likely a self-reinforcing dynamic.

Don't corporations typically have non-compete clauses to prevent an employee from exploiting proprietary knowledge they gained while working for the firm? Would we be supportive of someone who left (e.g.) a small bicycle parts company to help Amazon rule that market?
I think you could use linting tools that check for things like this and filter the output. Or use outputs that fail the lint as negative training examples.
Epochs would be more usable. Nobody can afford to litter their code with hundreds of feature tests.

API changes that change semantics are forbidden in Standard interfaces, although APIs can be extended, backward-compatibly. To make an actual change, we need to introduce a new name. Thus, when we get around to modernizing std::vector, the fixed version will have a different name, maybe std::vec, but conceivably std2::vector.

I don't know of any plans for feature test macro analogs that would integrate with modules.

To be usable, epochs would have to apply locally to a file, not to anything #included into that file, nor to any file #including it. And, it should be possible to tie them to modules, to say "you can use this module only from code in epoch C++XX or later".
How long after bite does it work?

Usually in the woods I don't have a hair dryer with me. So you are using it if you get bitten in the backyard or if you get back home from the hike?

Usually I also notice bites the next day when they start itching or when I get evening shower unless I really slap that mosquito in the act.
I agree.

I'm just asking if we have info on population spread effects for masks / no masks.

"Masks won't protect you" isn't an answer to that question. I don't wear a mask when requested by local guidelines or businesses as some kind of guarantee that I don't get COVID.

And yes, having kids not all go to school and then return to their families on a daily basis would probably have a much bigger affect on community spread. But if we can't get political will for masks or vaccinations then I don't know where we're going to find it for another round of kids staying home.
I was aware of the limited availability of a vaccine like the one from Russia, but it will be interesting to see if any get marketed widely. The virus in minks was a major concern and the population had to be culled, but I imagine they will only be routinely vaccinated if it's cost effective. Similarly, the equation is odd for house pets. They shouldn't need to be vaccinated if they are kept inside permanently, but some people wouldn't mind paying for peace of mind. Other pet owners would never bother.
You broke the site guidelines egregiously with that last paragraph. Seriously not cool.

> The question is if a giant ball of Electron bloat could be dissected in a similar fashion in order to extract the important stuff and throw away the rest. I hope so.

Perhaps OSes could be smarter. After installing an app, it could monitor the "hot" paths in the code, and only load those instructions the next time the app is loaded. Also resources that are never used could be not loaded into memory. Etc. I know, it would be difficult to build this as you're basically instrumenting an app or driver and then rewriting it, but I guess it would be a great innovative feature in a time when OS research seems stagnant.

...or just use typescript and get red squiggles in your IDE (...or when compiling if not using and IDE) and you don't have to go manually check your UI or write a unit test to make sure you provided the right type. Your approach sounds totally unscalable beyond a small project to me - you can't go manually eye ball your entire UI on every change.

Just let the computer handle this trivia and concentrate your efforts on adding value I say. Sure it takes an hour or two to set up the tooling, but once you are up and running there is no overhead (unless you consider defining types an overhead). Compiles take a fraction of a second and the browser has usually already reloaded itself before you've even physically moved your eyes over to the other monitor
Good trick - I use hot water, at hot as I can stand for both bites and poison ivy rashes, trying to minimize exposure beyond the affected area. Really calms it all down for hours after the zing of the hot water.

This is a legitimately preposterous take.
This is a difficult question to answer as one team might be very different from another team.

However, (my opinion only follows) I think our paper shows that there is a danger for Copilot to suggest insecure code - and inexperienced / security non-aware developers may accept these suggestions without understanding the implications, whereas if they had to write the code from scratch then they might (?) not make the mistakes (as they need to put in more effort, meaning there might be a higher chance they stumble upon the right approach - e.g. if they ask an experienced developer for help).

It does work on mosquito bite. Actually try putting anything (tolerably) hot at the place of mosquito bite. I don't have hair drier so I use just hot spoon. I guess this heat treatment somehow disintegrates the chemical released by mosquito.

I recently heard somewhere that the cosmic background radiation (CMR, 2.7 kelvin or so) is so much hotter than the "temperature" generated by Hawking radiation of black holes (apparently on the order of a billionth of a kelvin) such that they effectively do not radiate, and are not expected to do so for a loooong time (until expansion of the universe drops the background temp to an incredibly cold temperature).

What I have not been able to determine is when they might be expected to occur? How far in the future will black holes start evaporating? (I believe the answer depends on the size of the black hole as well)

Ah true, I had not considered that unlike eurasians american populations would obviously not have had it as children.
I'm not young, I'm overweight, my risk is elevated. I'm also vaccinated, but chose to get it way later than I could have based on priority, because I calculated my personal risk to be minimal, and others' to be significantly higher despite lower priority.

And "I'm so wise and noble and everyone who doesn't share my opinion is a selfish ass" is still a dumb way to frame it.

yes.

Typically banks, when challenged here in Australia, will ask you to hang up and call the number on the back of your card (debit or credit).

I'm biased of course, but I think there are actually music-makers who enjoy novel and non-linear sequencers like this, particularly for idea generation / experimentation. Not saying it would have mainstream appeal, but there are considerations other than interpretability for some people. E.g. Conditional logic and probability cubes let you do things that can't be done on a normal piano roll. At least that's why I added MIDI output - for the people who want to connect it to their DAW or other MIDI device.

> Or what about the fact we are 2 years into this and we still haven't built a significant amount of hospitals?

If I understand correctly, there isn't a lack of literal beds/space; it's a lack of personnel. Basically hospitals are unable to staff themselves at the levels needed to accomodate being basically 100% full. This is compounded by the fact that hospitals are struggling to retain healthcare workers, who are burnt out, and the fact that healthcare isn't something that someone can easily switch to.
Kerson and his team asked buyers at every retailer who stocks PNW parts to remove them from their Amazon stores too, so that everyone involved could maximize their profits and not undercut each other.

Cytokines are signaling molecules used by the immune system, there are around 20 of them with names like IL-4 and IL-10. The IL stands for inter leukin (signal between white blood cells).

T Cells start as B Cells and then graduate from Thymus school after rigorous coursework (mainly don’t target and attack self). Most T helper cells stay as Th0 or undifferentiated. Th1 are specialized for inter cellular pathogens (bacteria and virus), Th2 broadly speaking are specialized for intra cellular pathogens (helminths and parasites).

Pathogens that have been around for a while like bacteria, virus, helminths, and parasites have evolved to push back against immune systems to varying degrees.

I can agree that this is a differet experience than other ways of composing, but I think that's a good thing. Walking from A-B let's you experience the travel in detail, driving let's you visit more places in the same time. Both have their benefits, but you can't say one is better than the other without a specific use case in mind. In a more literal view, LudoTune offers a set of conviences and constraints that aren't had with other systems. Combined, those changes will encourage exploration and the growth of new ideas.

While it was before my time, I'm sure the development of synthesizers and sampling audio tracks were considered by some to be shortening the travel-time between A and B, but those became influential in modern music. Maybe this isn't the next big thing in music, but it could be, and I'm curious to see how far it can be taken.
From what I remember from Labmuffin's past articles, she doesn't give a specific nightcare routine because it varies based on the individual, so some trial and error is required.

Maybe that's a bit of a cop out, but if there were a perfect combination then there wouldn't need to be so many different products (marketing aside, even the same formulations of active ingredients are available as washes, creams, lotions, serums, peels, etc).

Not yet. It could be that pandemics actually decrease suicides as some people who would have killed themselves, die from the disease. Or by the effect that pandemics cause more empathy between people that reduce suicide rates. But by introducing lockdowns this gain is erased.

But even if it has no effect, the harm of lockdowns can be in other ways. The drug overdose deaths and increased alcoholism for example seems to be true. Any suicides can still follow after several years.

If you decide that you can't afford for it to live on the stack, you could use a Vec so that it lives on the heap but it's still a single pointer dereference to get the QueryInfo (or not) which is a similar value.

The nice thing about the stack is that it's warmer (more likely to be in cache), but this is less valuable for these larger sizes where the structure is too large to all fit in fast cache anyway.

Actually depending on how sparse the map is, that's a reason not to do this at all. I don't know what a FxHashMap is, but if you've got a u16 key and only a small number of entries in your map, some maps won't need more than a few cachelines to store that data, far smaller than the 1.5MB contemplated above.

Anyway with anything like this, measure three times, mark twice, cut once. If you don't have a performance problem, needn't do anything, if you do have a performance problem you need to measure it before you try to fix it.
It speaks to the power of belief in something. Napoleon represented something bigger than a person, he was French nationalism.

I think a similar story (this is in Ken Burn's doc, told by Shelby Foote) is when the Union forces at Fredericksburg took the city and then sent wave after wave of soldiers at the Confederate held hills with a wall at the base of them. I don't recall how many waves it was (10+), but it's difficult to imagine being in the sixth or seventh wave, watch man after man before you walk into a "wall of lead" and decide to do it anyway.

How many people today have that kind of conviction? We can't get people to wear masks.
Do you have a link to the most recent data? I recall The Netherlands having some severe resistance to masks etc, but I haven't seen a breakdown of vaccine uptake by country in recent months.
The secret sauce is in the software. The hardware isn’t that revolutionary. On top of that, fpga vendors have this habit of outsourcing every little thing. This makes it super difficult for them to embrace open source give the IP liabilities.
You can have a strong and vocal anti-vaccine population and yet not have a strong divide on party lines. One factor is that not all countries have such a strong two party system that polarizes every single thing.

Stop counting cases. We already know covid is endemic and isn’t going away. Why continue to test every patient for it? What purpose does it serve? Anybody that wants to be protected can be with a simple vaccine.
This is correct. The expression tested in the concept definition should not be "-1*x", but "x-x".
I live in NZ and can assure you from the front lines of the revolt that we don't think we're going to stay locked down until the virus goes away.

The game has always been to play it by ear. That's been a great call so far, we've lived normal lives for the last year while incredible scientific advances have delivered vaccines.

This is a long game, and we've done well in the first quarter. I hope the politicians continue making good calls as the game goes on.

Don't assume that because we locked down hard that that will always be the path forward. That's your straw man talking.
