Even in these domains people still balance performance against the expressiveness of the language, or else why wouldn't everyone write their games/HFT/robotics in assembly for that "bare metal" performance?

For example, many popular game engines provide C# scripting engines _even though_ using a garbage collected language (even just for scripting) is slow (and throwing away % of performance) because the performance is _good enough_ for their usecases.

Safety is definitely important but I have a hard time lining up this advice with how I ride my current bike. I ride downhill at up to 40 mph and my brakes, frame and shock work fine. On my mountain bike, I jump off 6 foot drops regularly. Maybe it's a matter of wear and tear over time being greater because your average speed is higher? I have a hard believing it's the added weight of the motor and battery either since I'm 50 pounds heavier than my brother in law and we have swapped biked a few times with neither bike having issues.

Let me tell you about the situation with masks in France in the early days of the pandemic.

- All mask shaped objects were quickly taken off the shelves. Including snorkeling masks that could be adapted!

- Health professionals received a limited number of masks. For example nurses had 2 FFP2 masks a day, in practice, except for those who worked with covid patients, most had only surgical masks. Pharmacists sometimes didn't have any mask at all (they should have had surgical masks)

- A lot of the masks were in poor condition and of dubious quality, they really tried everything they had. Some came from the stockpile intended for the 2009 flu pandemic.

- Masks regularly "disappeared". As an anecdote from a nurse, she worked in a psychiatric hospital and they didn't have masks (again, a mysteriously lost package). A guy came in, the leader of a big company and was appalled by the situation. He came back with 3 boxes, full of masks and told the personnel "this is for you, these will not got to the director's office, I will come back in a few days and if I don't see the masks, someone is going to have problems!".

- A friend of mine, a pharmacist, was constantly harassed for masks by random people. She had (not enough) masks available for doctors, but she was lucky when he could have one herself. And people had the nerve to ask for her own mask. And on a side note, at one point, they didn't even have enough ethanol for hand sanitizers!

Internationally, China kept most of the masks for themselves, and the ones foe export were sold to the highest bidder on the airport ground. Some countries had local factories, but were lacking in material, especially meltblown fabric, but sometimes even the metal nose strip.

It was bad, really bad. Things started to improve when volunteers started to make fabric masks. Initially, we were dubious about the efficiency of fabric masks, there was a fear that they would make droplets finer and more airborne, we still are, but it seems that they are better than nothing.

I want to think that the deception was a bad thing and that people deserved the whole truth, but I am glad I wasn't part of the government during that time.
There were numerous temporary hospitals (i.e tents) last summer. Presumably they were staffed.

Like the article mentions, they didn't bring over stack traces (namely the `Formatter` interface) from xerrors. I wrote a library[1] around it that would generate true stack traces. I don't use it as much as I used to, because I don't want to depend on a package like xerrors I don't trust to remain maintained, but it was a fun exercise at the time, and very useful while I used it. I wish that we wouldn't have to depend on a tool like Sentry for bringing this about, like the author suggests.

Which country or state is a model?

Seems to be a case of damned if you do and damned if you dont!

I live in SA, the state that got shut down for the Pizza Delivery incident.

By and large the citizens of this state support the actions of our state government!

We go hard, and go early!

For the most part we've lived through this pandemic with our lives going on as normal!

We dont have to worry, and we have very few restrictions.

Snap lock downs for a few days are a small price to pay that almost all of us are willing to pay!

We do it in solidarity for each other. Everyone wears a mask. Everyone checks in with QR codes. The few that dont are a small minority.

So when you say "they locked down a state" you mean we locked down a state. We the people of South Australia support our government's actions.

Please don't try to spin decisive actions into an oppressive narrative!
My area has the opposite problem: motorists offering to let cyclists go when they have the right of way. It's generous of them to make such an offer, but they don't seem to realize that the safest thing for a cyclist to do is follow the same rules as motorists when they are cycling in traffic.

(Of course my area also has reckless motorists who don't respect the rules of the road, but they seem to believe they are above the law whether they are interacting with cyclists or other motorists.)
> prevented these truths from being publicly acknowledged

To be honest, I'm shocked that people are deluding themselves that anybody ever thought otherwise.

I can't ever remember reading an article in any mainstream news outlet that suggested nation building in Afghanistan was going well. The "peace deal" that Trump signed with the Taliban last year literally assumed the Taliban would quickly takeover the country once the U.S. withdrew, and I don't remember anybody seriously disputing that basic assumption. At best people just ignored thinking about the issue entirely; any American who gave it any serious consideration would have to fend off some serious cognitive dissonance to believe it was going well.

This has been the state of affairs for 5, maybe 10 years, at least. But we live in an age of outrage culture where hoards of people seem to spontaneously develop amnesia whenever there's something to get upset over.

The withdrawal seems to have been problematic, though because of rage culture and collective amnesia it's rather difficult to judge the magnitude of the logistical errs from the press.
That said, the withdrawals were ongoing for years; the U.S. was down to 2500 personnel as long ago as January. Considering that so-called nation-building is an art that no polity has yet cracked, it's not surprising that the U.S. would also fail to foresee how spectacularly they fell short in their endeavor--i.e. that the Taliban would take mere days or even hours, rather than months, to control the country.

And I fail to see how careerism in the military could be blamed for any of this, at least at a strategic level. Again, who the heck believed Afghanistan wasn't a lost cause? Nobody. The occupation was interminable because nobody had the political guts to pull out completely (especially considering rage culture), even though everybody knew full well that the U.S. could never commit more to get the job done (assuming anybody even knew what or how much it would take to get the job done, which in fact nobody did and there was hardly any pretense otherwise, at least not in the past several years).

I mean, I partially agree with his opinions from those tweets, but my conclusions are still different. Firstly, the AGI of the future may well be able to be distilled to a form that would fit on a top supercomputer of today. But developing an AGI is going to need a whole lot more power than running an optimized version after the fact. And secondly, the flexibility and availability of GPUs is hard to beat, but I think that after a few iterations of datacenter-scale hardware we'll learn what's needed to really make it shine. So maybe the first iteration of Dojo won't be much better than a GPU cluster in practice, but the third or fourth could be spectacular.

The sun isn't actually a good source for vitamin D: even hawaiian surfers and people with tropical outdoor jobs can develop a deficiency:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17426097/

I suspect that at least part of the reason that it's not as effective as expected is that the current US RDA is over an order of magnitude too low, due ancient arithmetic error we discovered in 2014:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25333201/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5541280/

9k is what the science suggests, if you correct for this error, though, given that vitamin D absorption is highly variable, it's best to have your levels tested repeatedly until you know how much you need to take. (I am currently taking 15k daily, and only recently got my levels to stop bouncing around the bottom end of normal.)

IMHO, this huge discrepancy between our previous understanding and the actually needed amount is also likely why so much vitamin D science is often conflicted: the differences between supplementing 2k iu (a number I've seen a bunch of times in the literature) and not supplementing aren't all that great if you needed 9k to begin with.

I should also mention that concerns about vitamin d overdose are also misguided: while serious, it takes heroic doses on a daily basis - for years:

The evidence is clear that vitamin D toxicity is one of the rarest medical conditions and is typically due to intentional or inadvertent intake of extremely high doses of vitamin D (usually in the range of 50,000-100,000 IU/d for months to years)

https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(15)...

Addtionaly, one may want to be conscious of one's magnesium intake as well: it is consumed during vitamin d metabolism, and our widespread misunderstanding of vitamin D requirements means that research into appropriate magnesium intake concurrent to increased (ie appropriate) vitamin D has not been done.
Would you use an app like Gmail, that allows you to send audios like WhatsApp?
*I am looking for a co-founder*.

Hello everyone! Briefly. I have been working with companies for a long time and I feel that sending emails in "letter format' sometimes makes no sense and is an obsolete system.

My point of view is that, in most cases, we build trust with our client, and instead of sending mails, we send audios via WhatsApp. In addition, many times the texts are misinterpreted and need to be clarified to avoid misunderstandings.

At least in Latin America it is very common.

That is why I am working on this idea, which would be an app like Gmail, but that allows you to send audios like WhatsApp, becoming the standard for companies.

What do you think? Would you use it?

If anyone wants to chat, I'll pass you my email (although it would be nice to have invented the app already! Haha).

Greeting and thanks.

Because SQL looks and is more simple: plain English words that are easily recognized, with basic queries (select from) that can be taught in less than an hour and then build on it. Now let's look at SPARQL: everything screams at technicality. Curly braces (I'm not sure a non-programmer even know how to type this). Then the variable name prefixed by ?. Then the need to understand what is an URI and how and why prefixes are declared, not to mention the sheer fact of using URI instead of a simple names such as one found for database columns. But even that isn't enough knowledge to start writing the simpliest query. One also need to be taught about RDF triples.

So no, every query languages are not born the same. SPARQL is overly technical and requires a lot of knowledge to do even the simpliest things.
The Zulu warriors were supposed to be celibate. So they had plenty of pent up rage.

For the downvoters see

>units of unmarried females were assigned to each impi to prepare food and perform other domestic duties. However, Shaka insisted on abstinence from sexual activities among his warriors (like some football and soccer coaches today). Any woman who became pregnant, along with her lover, would be immediately put to death. Nor did Shaka allow his warriors to marry until he gave permission, which he did infrequently and only when the regiment was being retired. Then, he would order the entire regiment to marry and would specify the unit among the women that they were to marry (kind of like Rev. Moon).

> The US military/political leadership is entirely motivated by optics and self-interest. Virtually every report had to have a positive outlook; publicly recognizing the reality on the ground was forbidden, including using words like "insurgency".

I would say this half-thought out. While it is true to some degree, the military is largely beholden to the DOD, State Department, various intelligence agencies and the President. Senior Leaders self interest is staying employed and that is done by appeasing their bosses. If you're going to blame military leaders it's always a good idea to ask, "Where'd they get their orders from?" That may sound like a trope, but it's not.

When I went to Afghanistan I cannot tell you how many times we ran into bad intel on the ground. This makes operations run inefficiently, it causes accidents, it affects morale, etc... This literally because the military had a very difficult time, even then, understanding multi-celled non-central organizations like terrorist cells who were smart enough to insert bad intel where it needed to be.

I heard the President at the time telling the American citizens that we were training troops in Afghanistan, all the while I kept seeing report after report saying that troops are being shot in the back on patrol. Sure, we're training them but they're smoking hash on post because four years of ANA or AP pay is equivalent to a dowery. Most of those people didn't want to be there to save their country, they were there to have a better life.

You can bet that some of the best generals of the time operated over at CENTCOM and were fired for being very real with the President [https://www.quora.com/Why-did-Obama-fire-General-Mattis].

Edit:

I don't have any concrete thoughts on who to blame, be it generals, Presidents, or government officials. Maybe there is no blame. There's also room in my mind that the Taliban and other terrorist organizations are just formidable, well-equipped, and well-educated foes who use ideology as a viral weapon in areas that lack the defensive resources of opportunity and education to combat them. In purpose they are no different from cartels -- their main export is heroin (https://2001-2009.state.gov/p/inl/rls/rm/72241.htm). It's not only how they fund themselves, but it's how they get rich and garner more power to enable their ideology.

"Apple, Twilio, and a myriad of other companies cling to it like it's safe when it's not ..."

You're missing the point.

Twilio and Apple (et. al) are not using 2FA for you. It's not to protect you or to help you.

They are faced with a brutal and unceasing spam/scam/puppet onslaught. Forcing you to burn a physical SIM identity to create and maintain an account is just a blunt mechanism to slow this process down.

It is a way of attaching some costs to creating a (Twilio/Apple) account.
