I don’t like Joe Rogan but his earlier episodes were my first introduction to real long form, off the cuff conversations that have become pretty common now. Even relatively recently, I watched the Bernie Sanders one and felt like I hadn’t really heard Bernie Sanders just have a conversation like that for a long period. Among others I know, that, at least used to, be the appeal.
nice! any iOS clients in the works?
But even though the protection waned, it was still a factor of 6 better than the vaccine at the same point in time. It waned to be "only" 6 times better.

Clearly, you want natural immunity if you can get it safely, which is a big question. It still makes sense to get vaccinated for most adults. You can always get your natural immunity through a break-through infection, which you'll ride out more easily having been vaccinated.
Awesome stuff Anisa -- there used to be a program back when I was in elementary school called "accelerated readers' program" which really helped me become a better reader. Basically you read a book and you can take a test after reading that book and based on the level of difficulty of that book / how well you did on the test, you would get points. And those points would get your prizes (like coupons to Chuck-E-Cheese or to a movie). Top weekly readers also got shout outs over the PA system during morning announcements. Great way to gamify reading and helped me a lot. Maybe that concept can be inspo for something here!

> Vacation doesn't help. It just puts me farther behind.

This struck a chord with me. I recently had a “vacation” where I still had to participate in and do work on an RFP and then be in the RFP presentation itself. I ended up working 3-4 hours every day. In addition, when I got back (officially), I was expected to simply “catch up” with the work I couldn’t do during the week I was off. It was actually one of the most stressful vacations I had ever been on because I was torn between trying to relax and spend time with my family and the duty to my job. I justified it by saying to myself that I was at least having some fun, but it actually ended up being worse than if I hadn’t taken vacation at all.
Well the site does seem to be some sort of PostgreSQL consultancy.
The answer may be related to Pegasus software.

Timeline:

1. Leaked documents show Pegasus software exploits all iphones using an exploit in iMessage
2. Apple releases security update (doesn’t patch imessage. exploit)
3. Apple announces CSAM client scanning coming soon
4. Apple releases another security update (still leaves iMessage exploit unpatched and used by Pegasus)

….

Perhaps Apple is under pressure to provide a back door prior to patching a tool that may be widely used by governments around the world.
Oh, huh. For some reason I always remembered that sentence as, "won't be big and professional like Hurd".
There is probably something to this analysis, particularly for new listeners. (Rogan might be big enough that new listeners are less important?) Spotify has chosen not to use these other platforms to the extent that it could use them. This is an example (perhaps the canonical one?) of Ben Thompson's "strategy tax". For an individual podcast, it would be better to have something on all platforms/protocols/modalities. They want to attract Youtube viewers as well as RSS subscribers as well as everyone else. A capitalist firm like Spotify that wants to make a little money every time anyone ever listens to anything is comfortable losing a bit on every show it produces, if it can convince investors that doing so could bring about their favored apocalypse of rent-seeking. Each show is taxed to benefit the firm's long-term strategy.

Spofity seems to have modeled its Rogan acquisition as a platform crossover event. Lots of loyal Rogan listeners had never installed a Spotify app, and now a certain percentage of those people have. However, the way Spofity have structured this, as a one-time thing in which Rogan no longer reaches other platforms in comparable ways, seems to limit the potential benefit of this maneuver.

The reason I no longer listen to Rogan's podcast is that it is no longer an actual podcast. My players are still pointed at his RSS feed, but that thing is dead. I have no interest in using special apps published by Spotify to listen to something that used to be available in the normal way. I realize that is a fairly odd preference, but it satisfies the categorical imperative. I'm not the only person who strongly prefers to listen in a particular way. Spofity's strategy is different from that of many patronage-supported podcasts, which publish e.g. half of their episodes publicly, with ads encouraging people who would like more episodes to send money. Those podcasts are marketed in a more open way than Rogan's.
I'm not sure I care where people get their antibodies from as long as they're effective, but since you're here, mind my asking what the aversion is to the vaccine now? Is it a convenience factor, or not wanting to deal with being sick, or something else? The risks seem fairly well established at this point, from what I've been able to see.

Even if there's no proven benefit, there's plenty of things in life we almost all do because of possible benefit, so this just seems like another one of those case. We buy insurance in case we might need it. We wear seat belts even though the crash might be such that they provide no benefit. What's the point that tips you over the edge of not wanting the vaccine in this case? My understanding is that for a short inconvenience (in both time and physical well being) and zero cost you get something that might prove extremely beneficial later.
Wow look the magic pangolin invented an even better coronavirus vaccine then scientists!

> The work of Cantor and beyond regarding infinite sets is generally taught as mathematical "fact", as fundamental as 2+2=4, but unlike 2+2=4 is there any practical constraints or applications around it? It seems more like an almost arbitrary puzzle than "fact".

The field of numerical analysis depends on formal treatments of calculus. Formal treatments of calculus don't work in sets smaller than the reals.
That's up to you whether you can be friends with people who change your mind. I don't see why that's so hard but Rogan's changed opinion should be seen as a success story about learning.
I live in central California and any bit of forecast wind nets me a robocall from the utility letting me know that they my cut my power to reduce the risk of fire. Which seems like one of those exceptional cases.

Even it gets flagged as potential spam.
I disagree. E2E encryption of files is widely implemented. Apple is years late to the game. Apple's innovation here isn't privacy, it is to compromise privacy while simultaneously shielding themselves and their data sources from accountability at the expense of even more privacy and risk of abuse.

If the objective was maintaining the user's privacy they could use industry standard end to end encryption.

If the objective was to offer somewhat more privacy than nothing while still acting as a vigilante crime fighter, they could make the user's software use a cleartext hash database and report the user when there are matches, and otherwise use industry standard end to end cryptography.

Only when you add the requirement that the vigilante crime fighting must occur behind a mask-- that it must be cryptographiclally impossible to hold apple and its sources to account for the content of the database do you actually arrive at the need for substantial new investment.

Yes, anyone can implement surveillance. Apple's innovation is kleptography. A surveillance infrastructure (somewhat) successfully disguised as privacy protecting cryptography.
After his "emergency" podcast on Ivermectin, I'd day this is likely net positive thing for society.

Not a personal attack on the guy, I just think maybe all the influence is going to his head a bit.

A school has existed since 1868 yet people move near it and think they should have the final say on what the school does. Can the school counter sue Save Berkeley’s Neighborhood the using the CEQA since new residents have an impact on the environment, noise, housing and displacement?

Not that I disagree, they added nearly 7x the students they planned to add due to reduced state funding so perhaps revisiting their plans is a good thing. Maybe they'll add more than just 150 faculty housing units.

I think overall this just shows the uncertainty in higher education. Top tier schools can attract a practically limitless supply of students yet we can only add so many spots due to space constrains. Meanwhile there are dozens to hundreds of schools throughout the country that are closing due to declining enrollment (many deserved it since many of these schools were simply former agricultural schools, etc. that re-branded as universities to attract more students). Maybe instead of trying to squeeze every ounce of space on existing locations, these schools should open satellite schools throughout the country?
Wow do I feel old. I was running Slackware on my desktop in high school. 2.0.3x kernel. It must have been '96 or '97. It was so difficult. So. Many. Floppies. Printer? Hah! Good luck! Dial up modems worked well enough but your ISP better not be fancy. IRC from the terminal, not an xterm. So old...

It persists, because procedure/surgical masks do virtually nothing to stop SARS2. [0] I won't even mention cloth masks.

In sum, of the 14 RCTs that have tested the effectiveness of masks in preventing the transmission of respiratory viruses, three suggest, but do not provide any statistically significant evidence in intention-to-treat analysis, that masks might be useful. The other eleven suggest that masks are either useless—whether compared with no masks or because they appear not to add to good hand hygiene alone—or actually counterproductive. Of the three studies that provided statistically significant evidence in intention-to-treat analysis that was not contradicted within the same study, one found that the combination of surgical masks and hand hygiene was less effective than hand hygiene alone, one found that the combination of surgical masks and hand hygiene was less effective than nothing, and one found that cloth masks were less effective than surgical masks.

N95 are better, but those are not generally available to civilians.

Have you ever tried to use a laserdisc player? They pretty much only come in two sorts now:

1. Broken
2. Repaired

I have one of the third sort, unbroken and unrepaired. But it's a low-end CLD-S250. I don't even remember when and where I got it, and the only LDs I own are the original Star Wars trilogy.
You don't actually walk the sets to compare their sizes. You establish a 1-1 relationship between their elements.

Take the natural numbers 0,1,2,3... (call that N) and the even counting numbers 0,2,4,6... (call that E).

Here's a function between N -> E: f(n) = n * 2. You can prove that f maps every element of N to an element of E, and that every element of E is mappable from an element of N. f is 1-1. And therefore, N and E are the same "size".
I personally left my FAANG role behind for a role that had way more of what I wanted to do (coding) and way less of what I hated (paperwork), and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life.

I think it's important to keep in mind "signal bias" -- I'm never on other social media, and I'm only on HN every weekday over my breakfast and morning coffee. I don't spend time building my brand or writing blog posts or shouting from the rooftops about how great my life is because I'm trying hard to stay busy actually enjoying how great my life is. In my experience, there really are a lot of folks who've made similar decisions, it's just that part of managing your life is also giving up on trying to convince strangers that you're awesome.
It's the labels that are the problem, used by unreasonable people to create even more division. Most do not identify with a single side across all issues, or even all facets of a single issue.
Anecdotally, for me I didn't watch it religiously, but I would watch anytime there was a guest that I liked or found interesting. I haven't watched a single show since he moved to Spotify.
At some point most of his listeners will realize just how terrible he is. MMA is supposed to be his bread and butter but his takes are absolutely trash. Every fighter is a killer, every champion is the GOAT, etc.
Yeah I agree. I always thought burnout and depression were the same thing. How I’ve previously (maybe incorrectly) differentiated is:

Disclaimer: Trying to be concise, I understand depression is a spectrum, different for everyone, and a lot more complex than these few words.

Depression: You’re basically fried and can’t make decisions in any/all “verticals” (i.e. self-love, romance, professional, etc) not even to leave the house.

Burnout / Heartbroken: A subset of depression for a specific vertical in life. Burnout is a depression from a profession, but you still enjoy/can go on dates or hang out with friends. Heartbroken is a depression from romance, but you still enjoy/can work to distract yourself, take up a hobby, etc.
When one makes profit from providing to others who are not compelled to use it a good or service they are not compelled to produce, the "profit" is pure goodness.

When the market for a thing exists solely through government action, compulsion, coercion, or cajoling, the same cannot be said.

But that is an aside. My comment simply pointed out the tautology that no entity involved in the vaccine food chain has any incentive to acknowledge the strong protection conferred by natural immunity.

If you are aware of such incentives, please point them out. If you are aware of big pharma executives pleading with governments not to create panic or use compulsion to increase the vaccination, please do point them out.

None of what I said is "right wing nonsense". Simply a sober look at the incentives faced by various entities who have full liability protection from the consequences of any decisions they make.
I’ve known organisations who trashed old computers and wouldn’t even let staff get pieces without the HD (if data leaks were their concern).

> You really can't say anything about "unlikely" when the other algorithm is a secret. Perhaps it's just "return true".

You’re obviously not being honest. You don’t believe it could actually be just ‘return true’.

> [*] I say fail to disclose instead of didn't even know because I believe there is just no way they didn't know this was possible.

Of course they knew it was possible. That’s why the system doesn’t rely on it not being possible.
No doubt that there would be a wide spectrum of levels of acceptance...some folks even given a good optioon for support might choose to recycle their old machine because they're genuinely interested in getting the shiny newness...so offering any lightweight option with even cheap support won't be accepted by some folks...but i have to believe that there are folks out there who when *informed* that "hey, you know what? your computer is still usable for a little while longer..." might think twice before getting rid of their old machine.

And, BTW, if you're doing this already, then good on you! Kudos for helping avoid machines hitting the landfills, recycling centers unnecessarily!

It is not in the interest of TSMC to milk everything out of their customer. TSMC has always worked to keep their customer in their ecosystem for the long term. Not the short term. So rising Wafer price is something that is not very TSMC at all.
These are extremely valid points. Even Shawn baker doesn’t like the fact that Paul directly profits from promoting carnivore.

It’s funny you say there’s a lot of evidence showing LDL is bad etc, ok then show me the randomized interventional study regarding animal fat. Regarding carnivore. You can’t and so whenever you say “there’s lots of evidence” you also have to say “but it’s still unproven.” And yes, there is a difference between me and people who deny gravity or global warming because in my case, the study is absolutely trivial to perform! But it never happens because the academic community refuses to put people in (hypothetical!) danger by feeding them animal fat. It would be immoral and most importantly very unfashionable to perform a study like that.

Here’s the rub: nobody I know or have seen has experienced a decline in their health from carnivore. There’s no hard evidence that it’s bad for you. That guy from the grateful dead did it for 40 years and never had a heart problem. I want a randomized controlled and interventional study that simply shows us what difference it makes to be carnivore rather than something else. I will happily shut up forever if we did that and I was wrong.
I'm curious about burnout from a neurological perspective. Does anyone have any ideas on what is really going on inside the brain during burnout?
His views are only all over the place if you try to bucket him in the American "Democrat/Republican" binary bucket. If you listen to him for a long time he is surprisingly consistent a number of issues. For example, Joe is a huge supporter of public welfare. He grew up, temporarily, on food stamps and has always pushed back when even the most right of guests would call people on welfare lazy. Likewise I feel he has an incredibly poor track record on trans rights and can be very transphobic. That said, it's very difficult for people to communicate outside the "Democrat/Republican" playing field and people seem to love team sports more than discussion. Now that said, Joe is a human being and is welcome to his own beliefs, but whereas before I felt like Joe would have a mix of people on, his newer guests tend to be people who reaffirm his beliefs.
outside1234 suggested (UC) Merced or (UC) Davis as schools more suited to expansion than Berkeley. Ostensibly, all UCs are high quality education destinations. I don't know that Merced has earned distinction yet, but UC Davis is distinguished and interested parties could discuss the relative level of distinguishment.
This is a positive for Berkeley. Having had many friends graduate from there over the last 20 years, they all said it was massively overcrowded. People standing in lecture halls that were designed for half the students. TAs being overwhelmed, not able to give attention.

I would even go further and reduce the population over time rather than just freezing it. Let Berkeley be the place it once was.
In the "Other thoughts/notes" he acknowledges all of the tested software was old.
(And it being I/O bound).
The whole thing is more of "this is kind of interesting, you should do this test", than hard facts. I'd do it myself today but I have a busy one.
It's not just that they're hard to get - it's also that no one has demonstrated a preimage attack. So given just an illegal hash one can't construct an innocent image with that hash. These demonstrations show only that a second image can be transformed to have the same hash as a first, given image.

As other comments note, that's not a huge increase in difficulty for an adversary willing to deal in actual CSAM.
Is the meaning unintuitive, or is it in fact simply that the world doesn't match your intuitions?

'cos I mean, I'm not a betting man, but "I bet mathematical facts are correct despite being unintuitive" makes my (winning, profitable) bet in December 2020 that Trump lost look like a true gamble by comparison.
It doesn't cause you to avoid it, just you realize suffering through it is better than getting divorced for lack of being able to support the family, and the ensuing child support judgement (for which there is debtor's prison if you can't keep up) that will be even more onerous to your finances than supporting a nuclear family.
The J&J and mRNA vaccines (reliably) induce antibodies to the pre-fusion spike protein, so you may have a wider range of antibodies with vaccination than without.

(It's the only target they present to the immune system is why I put reliably; there's no saying infection doesn't induce similar antibodies)
Exactly. Quality of education has gone down. Let's make it smaller again (not just freeze).
Look at that! Yeah, I love it. That's exactly what I was thinking of.

I've listened to 4-5 Joe Rogan episodes and not once got the impression that he was trying to be a comedian. Now I may be an idiot, but I don't think I'm _exceptionally_ idiotic compared to most folks who might come across his content.
it has a pipeline that dumps people into positions that they may or may not be able to do. employers that promote based on work can and are invested in developing talent but ensure that people can actually do the role they are hired into.
"Almost anything can be proved/disproved or debated when one assumes such validity of the logical concepts to infinity."

I strongly believe that statement to be false.

Can you provide a contradiction that is provable using Cantor's definition of the cardinality of sets?
Just because something is public doesn't mean it has to be of poor quality.
Same for me. When I'm excited and motivated, feeling positive, I'm an unstoppable force and my brain works better than I realize it can. When I'm depressed, I will barely engage. I'll forget everything I'm doing. I'll have no executive function. Solving similar problems to those I have in the past seems insurmountable. Knowing this, and having no power over it in the moment, makes it a lot worse.
It's not nearly so simple as being "tired" of your job.

You obviously have zero idea what burnout is, or what it feels like to be in such a position.

I'd argue that you obviously have the incredible privilege of never having experienced burnout.
I LOVED that program! That and the MS Readathon were totally my things! At the time you don't realizing they are using game theory, but as an adult you look back and think "that was really smart". Very much food for thought.
Reminds me of a joke:
A biologist, an engineer and a mathematician see two people enter a seemingly empty building, and a moment later, three people leave.

Biologist: They must have reproduced

Engineer: It must have been a measurement error

Mathematician: If one person enters the building, it will become empty
