By platform lock you mean OS vendor-lock (i.e. apple)? Because FS Notes stores all your notes in plain text files (which is why I use it - pointed to a Dropbox folder). Admittedly it has a weird way of naming the files (presumably so it can have the filesystem act as a more robust database that is then loaded and cached) but it's still the easiest and most "free feeling" workflow that I've been able to stick with for my workflow (what appeals to me about FSNotes is: Plain text files, Syncs with Dropbox, Fast and simple keyboard shortcuts, Works on mobile and desktop, Quick and simple to organise stuff in folders but no tags or complex structures, Very cheap)

>95% confidence interval of zero and infinity

The reason the CI is like that has to do with divide by zero, not a low sample size. There were ZERO reinfections among previously infected people, regardless of their vaccination status. As the study says:

>COVID-19 did not occur in anyone over the five months of the study among 2579 individuals previously infected with COVID-19, including 1359 who did not take the vaccine.

The conclusions of the researchers are not wrong or mistaken - they accurately represent the data.

As for the "prioritized" comment, that's just the researchers being politically correct. As you point out, indeed these conclusions go against most countries' policies today. It's a tragedy that natural immunity is completely suppressed from the policymaking conversation.
Exculpatory data doesn't go far in the US, and why on earth would we want to encourage a system based on "Keep your location tracking on so the police can NOT prosecute you for crimes".

Your claim was that Facebook was "acting as an arm of the government." That's simply untrue.

And they weren't telling it to remove stuff. They were asking it to, after fb set up a way for the government (among other groups) to flag misinformation. You're glossing over those difference, but they matter.
> In vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention tests, the Ram 1500 avoided collisions at both 12 mph and 25 mph. In most of the vehicle-to-pedestrian tests, it avoided hitting the pedestrian dummy or slowed substantially to mitigate the force of impact. However, the system failed to slow the vehicle at all in the 37-mph trial designed to simulate an adult pedestrian walking in the travel lane in the same direction as the vehicle.

So the standard they met fails to even slow down the car when seeing an adult pedestrian at a speed that is a fraction of the driving speed in nearly every American city.

A handful of American cities have 25mph limits within the city but most drivers are driving at east 5-10 mph above that, which is kind of written into American DOT standards (which require speed limits to be set at 85% of the average driving speed on a road).
Thank for the explanation, what about screw compressor? Are they too expansive to manufacture and need too much maintenance? How would you compare them to scroll compressor? I know they have industrial use, but I'm not sure why they are not more widespread.
> The CCP knowingly hid information about infections. This whole thing could have been contained in China with the right information at the right time.

This can and should be investigated and dealt with on it's own, irrelevant to if the source was a lab or natural causes.

My theory has always been that if you look at what was happening with China on a world stage at the time of the outbreak, HK protests, building military bases on atolls, Uyghur Camps, perhaps more. China was in a pretty bad place.

Then along comes this virus, and I'm sure they were like "oh crap, lets not bring any more attention to ourselves, maybe this will all just go away". Of course, it didn't. It was 100x worse than they probably imagined.

CCP screwed up massively. Was the screw up in a lab or not is secondary. They had the opportunity to stop it, but they didn't. That's the breakdown that needs to be discussed. I don't think that is a breakdown that is as politically charged or questionable.

We need a law that requires a private company to notify the user any time their data is shared with a 3rd party, regardless if it is for commercial or warrant (or any other) purpose. That would solve a lot of problems.

We also need a law to outlaw these warrants, but I doubt that will ever happen, because I can see how useful they can be to legitimate investigations.
Except what are policies supposed to be based on? Replacing "science" with "data" is effectively the same thing. So policies are supposed to be pushed without evoking evidence of their effectiveness? Referencing where such policies have worked elsewhere is referencing experiments
Well said. Thanks for sharing your story.
I think the fact that "automotive safety" begins at the headlights and ends at the tail lights is extremely relevant (and frightening).

The safety of cars for literally everyone in the world EXCEPT for the 1-5 people inside that car is not considered.

It was only a few years ago (2016, in Paris) that Christoph von Hugo, a safety engineer from Mercedes, was asked how a self-driving car would handle a "trolley problem" type situation, where the car could either hit a group of pedestrians, or swerve in a way that could injure or kill the driver, and he said, "Save the one in the car."
Nah, this person saying ML cars don’t work is right unfortunately
They appear not to be developing the compressors themselves, but instead are trying to license their IP.

From their ‘Who are we’ page[1], their Director of Production “oversees the production of the Magtopressor Demonstrators”, so not really production per se.

The focus on worldwide patents and number of patents in the videos is also noticeable.

Superchargers are not the only way to charge a Tesla though.

And about apartments… you’re replying to someone who managed very well with two Teslas in an apartment for two years with no at home charging options. We rarely used the local supercharger, although it helped when fast charging was needed. J1772 chargers are plentiful and cheap (sometimes free).

Nowadays we found a way to make a 110 cord reach, and while slow, it easily keeps two cars well charged.

This is real life experience for me. It’s worked great.
>what are some examples of modern architectures that don’t use IEEE 754 floats

Mainstream? I can't think of one. Googling the question yields a stackoverflow question from 2010 that lists the 5 or 6 major architectures (x86, PowerPc, SPARC, Arm,.. ) and about a dozen more as supporting x86. So it's a fairly safe assumption to make.

One area where vanilla IEEE754 isn't used that immediately came to my mind is high performance ML at companies like facebook and Google, the generic range-precision tradeoff that FP offers is inefficient and they ended up designing several new formats with smaller sizes or larger ranges. Googling "Alternatives to FP in ML" or "Custom FP format <company-name>" yields a lot.

Another "niche" area is finance, insurance, taxes and anything nearby, fixed point in those area is, I hear, a must. Because all the usual invariants of high school algebra that FP breaks actually have significance. (imagine the well-known FP flaw "x+epsilon == x, with epsilon non-zero" playing out in these contexts.)

In any case, number portability in a language like C++ is a breeze. You design a myNumber class and overload all relevant operators and that's it. Compiler will make sure to inline the calls if they're a one-line simple floating point operations, but otherwise you can freely change the implementation of the class and the calculations never look different.

All fair points but it is quite an undertaking to build an ebike that does 60km/hr with a useful range. Heavy motor, serious AH high discharge battery and a controller that can handle those amps. Your battery system will need to be above 48volts. Pushing wind above 35km/hr requires a lot more energy for each 5km/hr gain.

45-50km/hr idea fairly easy though with a 48 volt system.

I have a full sized van. The viability out the front is good, back not so much. I helped a friend move some of her mothers stuff to storage. My friend rented a truck. Driving it my impression is the tall hood results an unacceptable blind spot. Is a child or a short women was in front you wouldn't be able to see them and that's not okay in my book.

That said viability of all cars is getting worse due to low slopped roofs and phat A pillars. As a friend says they're making cars safer for the driver at the expense of everyone else.
All three of those Python scripts use the same library, YAJL

It comes with an example program called json_reformat which I have experimented with in the past.

However the "reformatters" I write using only shell utilities work just as well. YMMV.
> Science is inherently a political process

Nothing could be further from the truth. Nowhere in the scientific method does it say that you need to be smart, or have a fancy degree from an esteemed university, or that your results must be published and affirmed by The Correct People in appropriate scientific journals.

If you prove or disprove hypotheses by collecting data from experiments you design in a reproducible way, you’re doing science. The result of that is objective truth. What the political machinery decided to do with that objective truth is entirely independent of the process of science.

That is literally what session hijacking is. A uses the session created for B, various ways.

Do not store sessions in signed cookies, because those can be stolen, and they bloat your requests and responses shipping all the data up and down each time. Store sessions in a database, tie them to an IP, and time them out. Transmit only an opaque ID. Ideally, re-create a different ID with each new request. If you are using a web framework, it should have tried and tested mechanisms to do all this for you. This is the kind of thing you lose cooking your own CGI.
Doesn't seem like that is necessarily true. The 4th-generation Mazda Miata is lighter than the 1st-generation, despite conforming to all relevant modern safety standards, and being a generally all-around better vehicle.

Only framebuffers are currently available and a typical Wayland compositor runs through DRI (direct rendering infrastructure), which is a whole bunch more complex.

I haven't ruled out Mutter having a framebuffer backend, but I suspect she just ran it through X, which has one.

Edit: Looks like DRI is there after all: "Sven and the #dri-devel crew helped me spin up #2, which is what I'm using now."(https://twitter.com/alyssarzg/status/1429583864679129098).
The other issue is that due to the crumbling state of U.S. infrastructure, normal cars with ~5.5 inch ground clearance are basically impossible to drive without ruining them by bottoming out all the time. I have zero desire to have an SUV or crossover with ~8.5 inches of ground clearance, but unfortunately there are very limited options with 6.5 or 7 inches.

Even more. My simple 100W fridge shows peaks up to 3000W when it switches on. Very short but sometimes my Shelly EM catches them (and messes up my graphs :) ). I can also see the lights dim a bit when that happens.

Even if it works I'm not going to buy a new fridge just for that though. Manufacturing a whole new fridge will be worse for the environment than running this for many years especially on green power.

However when it does go, it would be nice to have.
>Double my wage, I’ll buy made in the UK/EU much more often.

Sounds like you're suggesting that made in UK/EU is too expensive, and if only people were paid enough they would be buying local. Is there any evidence that's actually the case? Do SV engineers, doctors, and lawyers buy US made goods significantly more than anyone else?
I just have experience rather than expertise, hoping someone with actual expertise shows up to correct me where I'm wrong. :)

I love the idea of low hanging fruit in every dimension of technology, but the reality is that linear pumps have been around for quite some time and aren't dominant in any high (sales) volume application that I'm familiar with. That tells me there are likely some tradeoffs here that are not being explained. Vibration would be one obvious area, but could be handled with a harmonic balancer or an additional pump operating 180 out of phase (unfortunately increasing cost/complexity).

The other potential issue is that the motor needs to be built for the application for the most part. With rotary compressors, you can incorporate pulleys to gear the system up or down in accordance with the cheapest motor you can put to use. With this system the motor is the pump, so it's harder to add some kind of lever to gear it up or down. (This is less applicable to small A/C systems which tend to use hermetically sealed compressor systems, but for larger systems this can come into play.)
I will pay $100 a year for an iOS-like Notes replacement, de-Appled with these criteria:

1. Secure - E2E encrypted on cloud storage, vendor cannot read it

2. Accessible - standalone native app on desktop and mobile on all platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac/iOS, Android)

3. Simple - love how Apple doesn't even make you "title" notes, it just takes the first line

4. Shareable - with others with editing privs eg a grocery list for family

5. Paid - that way I know it's sustainable and not some data scam

6. Plain - Base version has no ability to publish to a blog or any junk like that.

7. Open source

I just subscribed to Standard Notes:https://standardnotes.com/

Standard Notes has #1, #2, #5, and#7. But UI is more cluttered than iOS. And not shareable with editing privs.

There s however one thing you cant do but an ML solution probably could: share your contextual experience at the instinct level with every driver.

Say you're right and an ML model cannot know intrinsically the trash bag is safer to hit than to avoid, however, if a few car hit or avoid those for a little while they can learn of the consequence of both actions and then share them back to every other car.

I suppose as long as it can properly learn, it'll get there (and, more valuable: STAY there) eventually. The brain is an efficient machine that can work in highly complex network, but I dont know if the fact every brain is born mostly blank of experience is a good or bad thing to build much more complex specialized behaviour like driving with 0 death in an entire nation.
VW mass produced scroll superchargers 30 years ago for the G60 and they were unreliable but super efficient. Kind of surprising that with 30 years of manufacturing advances they're not more common. Such a cool design.

In programming, the result of a comparison of floating point numbers in general and a comparison with zero in particular is problem (and scale) dependent.

Ah a LangJam entry ^^
There are plenty more original ideas for one to check out at https://github.com/langjam/jam0001
Teams had 48h to design and implement a programming language based on the theme "first-class comments".
This appeals to Marilyn Oppezzo's and Daniel Schwartz's 2014 study on walking and creativity [1], based on an experiment with 48 subjects, a lot of subjective assessment, and a weird constraint which sounds like p-hacking ("The CRA task always followed the GAU task, because pilot work indicated that the CRA could be demoralizing, which interfered with performance on an immediately following GAU task.") Does anyone know whether it has been replicated? My money would be on replication failing.
