AFAIK, each country may only designate one language as official for EU business. Otherwise, the number of language combinations for translating (which is n * (n - 1)) becomes unmanageable. Ireland chooses Irish.

English, French and German have a higher status as general EU working languages.
I have a number of hak5 products to see what they fuss is about and to learn what kinds of attacks to worry about being used on me! In some cases they are not really usable anymore, like the WiFiPineapple, which is largely useless due to WPA2 being ubiquitous (yes, you can hack WPA2 but I don't feel like paying for a ton of AWS lamda functions to get on my neighbors wifi). They teach you about how things work from an entirely different point of view. BashBunny is my favorite and it still works, but who plugs in random USB sticks these days? I've never used it but I learned a lot more about USB!
The 3 paragraphs for what they're doing here:

> The concept is that the L2 cache isn’t just an L2 cache. On the face of it, each L2 cache is indeed a private cache for each core, and 32 MB is stonkingly huge. But when it comes time for a cache line to be evicted from L2, either purposefully by the processor or due to needing to make room, rather than simply disappearing it tries to find space somewhere else on the chip. If it finds a space in a different core’s L2, it sits there, and gets tagged as an L3 cache line.

> What IBM has implemented here is the concept of shared virtual caches that exist inside private physical caches. That means the L2 cache and the L3 cache become the same physical thing, and that the cache can contain a mix of L2 and L3 cache lines as needed from all the different cores depending on the workload. This becomes important for cloud services (yes, IBM offers IBM Z in its cloud) where tenants do not need a full CPU, or for workloads that don’t scale exactly across cores.

> This means that the whole chip, with eight private 32 MB L2 caches, could also be considered as having a 256 MB shared ‘virtual’ L3 cache. In this instance, consider the equivalent for the consumer space: AMD’s Zen 3 chiplet has eight cores and 32 MB of L3 cache, and only 512 KB of private L2 cache per core. If it implemented a bigger L2/virtual L3 scheme like IBM, we would end up with 4.5 MB of private L2 cache per core, or 36 MB of shared virtual L3 per chiplet.
Normally? Yeah. Stolen? Yeah, sort of.

Banks, hotels & a few airlines let you convert points to gift cards but the conversion rate for miles in particular is trash (less than $0.01 / mile).

Using them for an international business / first class flight can easily pass $0.05 and often $0.10 or $0.20 per mile, but this makes it easy for the airline to cancel & return the miles unless someone is flying same-day.
English isn't an American language, it's an English language, from the English Commonwealth; former British colonies, which America once was. There's a significant number of non American nations who use it as a first language. See any commonwealth nation for instance. It would be more correct to say: We're all living in the United Kingdom.
"Vaccine efficacy, effectiveness and protection"

https://www.who.int/news-room/feature-stories/detail/vaccine...

Vaccine efficacy is found in trials, vaccine effectiveness is dynamic depending WHEN you calculate it and its found after 'deployment in the field'

"A vaccine’s efficacy is measured in a controlled clinical trial and is based on how many people who got vaccinated developed the ‘outcome of interest’ (usually disease) compared with how many people who got the placebo (dummy vaccine) developed the same outcome. Once the study is complete, the numbers of sick people in each group are compared, in order to calculate the relative risk of getting sick depending on whether or not the subjects received the vaccine. From this we get the efficacy – a measure of how much the vaccine lowered the risk of getting sick. If a vaccine has high efficacy, a lot fewer people in the group who received the vaccine got sick than the people in the group who received the placebo."

vs

"Vaccine effectiveness is a measure of how well vaccines work in the real world. Clinical trials include a wide range of people – a broad age range, both sexes, different ethnicities and those with known medical conditions – but they cannot be a perfect representation of the whole population. The efficacy seen in clinical trials applies to specific outcomes in a clinical trial . Effectiveness is measured by observing how well the vaccines work to protect communities as a whole. Effectiveness in the real world can differ from the efficacy measured in a trial, because we can’t predict exactly how effective vaccination will be for a much bigger and more variable population getting vaccinated in more real life conditions."
Yeah the activated carbon filter in my commercial purifier is just a sheet that sits in front of the filter. You can buy one and duct tape it to the DIY solution. It has to be vacuumed regularly and eventually replaced.

Also there doesn't seem to be any need to worry about sealing the filters as the author's experiments showed, and because the stuff you're filtering is already floating around. It would matter in a vacuum cleaner or some such pollutant-kicking stream.
1) The US just uses the chip instead of the mag stripe. It doesn't use a PIN on most cards. Chip cards were mandated, but not using a PIN. Even on a debit card, if your bank allows the card to be used as a credit card, won't require a PIN.

2) Debit cards and credit cards are regulated separately. Most of the difference in regulations are around fraud so using a PIN helps combat fraud. Of note, the disputed amounts on a debit card aren't required to be returned to your account while disputed. On credit cards, however, they can't charge interest on the disputed amounts on a credit card while disputed so they are removed from your balance.
It is correct to call Vortex a GPU? I looked at the github but there doesn't seem to be anything there related to graphics.
In this case, they were intentionally misrepresenting the risk of addiction to doctors: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2622774/

If your doctor tells you it's safe and non-addictive and will ease your suffering, I'm willing to bet you'll believe them.
I thought because of the branch name they used for their PR that it was going to be a joke PR, but the mathematics of it is outside of what I understand well enough to judge if it’s legit. But from the way it reads it sounds honest.

So assuming that it is legit, it sounds really intriguing especially because of the claim they make that it “breaks the loop-carried dependency for fast generators, unlocking vectorization and parallelization where it was previously impossible”.
I had a very similar experience in Iceland.

Surprisingly, the same Icelandic youth that spoke to my siblings and I in fluent English couldn’t spell. I was floored when after an hour chatting with one of them they couldn’t spell “frog”. Not because they should be able to spell in English, but because I couldn’t understand how someone could be so fluent in a language without being literate. Clearly it’s very possible.

I think the airtag might actually alert them that they are being tracked - the anti-stalker features built into the network will alert an iPhone user when an airtag they don't own is in the vicinity while moving and changing locations.
I remember a friend in an allied discipline talking to me about what they did for cervical cancer where again the initial AI outcomes are weak. I don't know if this is now gold standard clinical practice, or still an experimental, but here's how I remember it:

We screen people with a cervix for cancer by scraping away a tiny sample of the cells periodically and having that examined at a laboratory for anomalies. If caught early, cervical cancer isn't fun but it's extremely survivable. You don't technically need a cervix (after all about 50% of humans don't have one) so in the worst case hysterectomy (removal of the womb and cervix) is an option.

Machines aren't very good at looking at a slide full of cells from the human cervix and giving it a score like 1-5 where 1 is "Fine" and 5 is "Cancer". This is a standardised task that her (human) team do every day, and she works with other bodies across the continent to ensure they're all doing a roughly similar job by looking at each others examples and checking they get the same number, so this way a doctor in Paris and one in Birmingham should get interchangeable results despite using different labs to process the samples.

However, it turns out the machines are stellar at a related task. "Is this sample infected with HPV?". Humans do not find this task easy and historically this test wasn't done anyway.

So maybe a human would do the first thing, and, if it was a bit borderline, then they'd check the second thing. Cervical cancer is almost always caused by HPV, so if you don't have HPV then you almost certainly don't have cervical cancer. But since the machines are great at that second problem you can reverse things. The machine processes every sample for HPV and then a human only looks at the positive ones, rating those.
> Of course the media is against Stallman: it's the same media that is controlled by the companies that makes billions with proprietary software at the expenses of the users!

I've been struggling with putting my thoughts into words regarding this point. There are two points that I want to make:

1. The idea you expressed is so clearly and obviously incorrect that it's surreal to see it on Hacker News. The American media conglomerates are not owned by Apple, Google or Microsoft. (This point is boring and probably not worth spending much time on)

2. The idea you expressed is so frequently posted in other contexts that I wish we had a separate word for it in English. There is this tendency for people (especially in conspiracy-focused groups) to make this same argument. I usually see it as some variation of "follow the money" or "who profits" followed by an extremely tenuous connection between some action and a profit-motive. These arguments usually treat companies (eg. Microsoft) or entire industries (eg. the media) as homogeneous entities with a single-minded focus on profit. In reality, these companies and groups are comprised of individuals with orthogonal and conflicting motivations (many of which have nothing to do with profit).

The moment you realize this, ideas like "The American media manufactured a campaign against Richard Stallman so Microsoft could sell more copies of Microsoft Office" seem ridiculous. Whoever runs NBC does not have their paycheck tied to profits over at Microsoft. I wish I could more concisely express this idea.

> ”Helsinki voisi julistautua englanninkieliseksi kaupungiksi, jossa englantia osaavilta ei vaadittaisi myös suomen ja ruotsin kielen taitoa.”

This is the citation the whole story is built upon. The meat of the idea being that for city employees (i.e primarily public servants) Finnish and Swedish language skill wouldn't be a job requirement anymore. So the "declaration" probably would have way smaller impact than one would expect from such grand statement. Basically only means that you would not be guaranteed to get finnish/swedish service from citys public services.

So what this would cause is disenfranchise the lower education people who do not have fluent English skills and are also probably in greater need of the public services. All that just in a vain hope to attract more talent.

isn't there one canonical language of the EU which prevails in disputes between different translations of treaties? what will they change to, French I guess?
That passage though does provide some more details:
"For a classic work, which readers were likely to check out steadily for years to come, a library might purchase a handful of expensive perpetual licenses. With a flashy best-seller, which could be expected to lose steam over time, the library might buy a large number of cheaper licenses that would expire relatively quickly."
At least perpetual licenses are an option.

Tech industry workforce is not a representative body. Normally we'd describe the situation as 'greater female participation in the industry'. The dissonance is reminiscent of Russell's conjugation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotive_conjugation

Bertrand Russell, who expounded the concept in 1948 on the BBC Radio programme The Brains Trust, cited the examples:

I am firm, you are obstinate, he is a pig-headed fool.

I am righteously indignant, you are annoyed, he is making a fuss over nothing.

I have reconsidered the matter, you have changed your mind, he has gone back on his word.

I never tried just one filter, so... no. Sorry. Too many stories of fan motors burning up with a single filter attached.
Funnily enough their API endpoints report the actual error that happened in plain English. Their frontend never even tries to show the error.

It's only a few steps away from what Graal/Truffle do: unroll the interpreter loop over the bytecode, then keep re-running dead code elimination and inlining passes - you end up with something very close to optimized native output.
The only furnace I've seen without that option was from the 1950s (probably replaced by now for old age), but I'm sure more exist. It wouldn't be hard from someone who knows power to wire up the fan to run all the time though.
No dude because it’s a badass name. If it’s super cool you get to name it “Operation Dark Phoenix” which is even more badass.
Yeah, I am actually aware— I've been following it keenly via the buildah issue tracker, and I should have put that in my original post. But the current reality is still that building images on Kubernetes is a choice between several not-great options, especially if you're on managed k8s and can't use privileged mode as a stopgap.

Anyway, even once this stuff all lands, there's still actually no way to do what I would consider to be the actual gold standard of k8s image building, which would be a method where you build the image starting from any base layers already on the kubelet. Because currently, whether it's kaniko, buildah, docker-in-docker, etc, you're basically always either downloading everything every time, or you're having to manually manage some scheme with a long-lived cache container that you volume-in each time and purge periodically, for example: https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko#caching-base-...

In principle this should be possible with a Kaniko-like workflow, but you'd need a separate control pod / build pod setup, where the control pod would compute all the layer hashes and then repeatedly try to spawn from the bottom-up using `imagePullPolicy: never` until one of them succeeded, and then build the remainder of the container from there.

How many purifiers have you bought?

The custom purifiers always have proprietary filters. That’s where they make their money. It isn’t $40 difference, it’s $40 per year. Often more. And once they stop selling that model, they’ll discontinue the filters and so you’re buying another one. And another. And another. Each with its own problems that you have to live with or shop around for, which means more purifiers purchased while sorting it out.
Don't think it would make any difference, but what was your previous monitor?

Agreed. I’d love to hear some alternative examples to Twitter’s web app or how one could build it faster.

Also I’m curious if the original Twitter lite was well engineered. I generally share all the criticisms above about the web but I thought Twitter’s Scala back end actually made the response fast and resilient. I mostly use the iOS app but never had problems with the mobile (until recent changes).

I may not be very bullish on bitcoin but I can see that properly implemented digital currencies can allow communities to form much more easily and organically through increased transparency and verifiability. Not to mention that digital currencies can be integrated into many interactions and transactions natively.
The Mozilla Corporation isn't a charity, none of the donated money goes towards their salary. And their revenue is directly tied to a specific deal that the executives negotiated to get over $100 million per year more than their previous deal. They negotiated that despite the years of decreasing users your link showed.

As for the rest, I also dislike standard corporate practices but Mozilla is more or less forced to follow them to compete at all in this world.
Cryptocurrency doesn't free companies or individuals from their legal obligations. Paying someone in crypto doesn't mean they don't owe taxes or that the company doesn't have to comply with relevant laws.

If anything, paying employees in crypto adds more layers of accounting, administration overhead, and legal work. Distributing payroll money isn't a bottleneck for city growth, so I don't know why this author tried to wedge it into this article.

So, pick the 2 (out-of-36) that did better than a solo radiologist & run them everywhere, at nearly zero marginal cost.

Also check if ensembles of the lesser-performing systems (with other systems or with radiologists) can do better, and whether any of the systems can rapid-classify 'easy cases' so expensive radiologists need only check the tougher ones.

Thing is a smart doesn’t compete with just a phone , it competes with laptops , desktops too.

A lot of people don’t bother buying laptops or desktops these days because they can do most of what they want on their phone
Vaccination is heavily correlated with age and age is heavily correlated with risk. So, you really need to do a more complex breakdown to understand what’s going on.

Aka if 90% of the 80+ year old population is vaccinated and 0% of the under 12 year old population is vaccinated then being unvaccinated starts to look like a good option. Except what you really want is to be young.
I've been living in Helsinki for 3 years and while I like the idea of supporting foreigners, I also find this a bit disappointing. I only know a handful of expacts who even attempted to learn Finnish, but I know a bunch of people who live here for 10-15 years and still not integrated because they only communicate in English.
The simplest alternative would be to replace Swedish with English as the secondary official language, but support people more who wants to learn Finnish, especially because the local language courses were always full when I checked.

> > state gave up...the death penalty. Life without parole. Life with parole. Long sentences. Any sentences.

I'm confused on that point. What you're saying makes sense but the article mentions "a bankruptcy deal with Purdue Pharmaceuticals that allows the Sackler family to avoid criminal prosecution," suggesting otherwise.

[edit: and that 15 states have signed on in some way adds to the plausibility of consequences of this deal extending beyond bankruptcy decisions.]

It would be interesting to compare the results of AI + 1 radiologist to 2 radiologists (and with a larger sample, to AI + 2 radiologists). Does the AI add a useful perspective? Does the AI perspective add enough that it's a better backup check than a radiologist? If not, does it add anything to a pair of radiologists, since it would presumably be fast and cheap and so it would still be a good outcome to add it into the process.

Another interesting question, if you had unlimited resources for studies: how does AI compare to 1 or 2 poorly trained 3rd world radiologists?
