I live in Sweden where nobody wears masks. We have not been locked down in any real sense. Primary schools have not been closed, some high schools were but this was mostly left to the schools themselves. Those who want to be vaccinated can get vaccinated, most adults are (myself included). Most children are not vaccinated, they go to school, catch SARS2 and... nothing happens. Not a single teacher was infected in either of my daughter's schools during the whole time.
Why can we live mostly normal lives while you seem to be unable to do so? What is the difference between Sweden and wherever it is you live?

Also, what happened to personal choice and personal responsibility? By now it is clear that the vaccines do not seem to prevent you from infecting others so the argument for getting vaccinated so as not to infect others has been made moot. This leaves masks - which have been proven (yes, proven) not to work unless N95 or better types are used and crowding avoidance. In other words, get vaccinated to avoid personal risk of a severe infection. If you decide not to get vaccinated for whatever reason you'll have to accept the possibility of a more severe infection. Keep your distance from others if you want, do not force yourself upon others who have not made clear to be OK with it. All of these are personal choices which you'll just have to accept if you want to continue living in a free society. It sounds like you are willing to give up those freedoms for a misplaced sense of protection?

In 1775 Benjamin Franklin had the following to say: ‘They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.’. He seems to have said it in the context of some people considering a compromise with the Crown over the stationing of British troops in the colonies. His stance was that giving in to these demands would mean the end of any real hope of freedom.
It really isn't new-agey. Brain waves certainly exist, can certainly be measured, and the presence or absence of certain frequency bands is certainly relevant to various brain functions (EG ~40Hz alpha waves and being conscious). There really is evidence that certain groupings of neurons act like band pass filters, and that something similar to the frequency tricks of old telephone equipment is used in the brain to pass multiple messages to different recipients while using the same neural "wire".

Furthermore, the brain is far to wet and warm for quantum mechanics to be relevant. Coherence times would suck.
I don't have disdain for anonymity.

That would generally be considered "detectable intrusion" though.
I've been doing this wrong all along then? I've got my filter on the outtake side. What is the difference I wonder.
Can't find the tweet now. Someone created a static HTML page with all their tweets, over 8 MB of HTML. It rendered faster than a single tweet by Twitter.
Did you evaluate CSS Modules at all? If so, would love to hear your pros and cons versus styled-jsx. Great post!
Yeah... I feel like a lot of people miss that in only takes one working implementation to change everything.

Imagine like "94% of all attempts at heavier-than-air flight crash on first attempt". Sure... kinda misses the point.
Hyperoptic is great if you have coverage.
But they are probably like 90% cheaper, and 99% faster than a radiologist, not even going to talk about the throughput.

It seems really good news to me actually.
Exactly. PLUS: I am sure the radiologists used for this paper paid extra attention to their diagnosis, because they knew it was a competition and colleagues are watching.

I am sure the average radiologist, tired and bored at 8am in the morning, is much worse.
abortion is a personal matter and covid is a public health matter, pretty hard line distinction. Also it's a matter of degree: banning abortions is forcing women to undergo childbirth, while covid mandates are a matter of paper masks and a couple shots of prophylactic.
There's a whole class of interesting problems related to query evolution - and it varies greatly depending on the "environment" that you're interested in (see mjdrogalis' docs on updating a running query). Generally, the strategy that ksqlDB takes at the moment is to validate what upgrades are possible to do in-place and which are not - for the former, ksqlDB "just does it" and for the latter, we are designing a mechanism to deploy topologies side-by-side and then atomically cut over when the new topology is caught up to the old one.

There's an in-progress blog post that describes exactly this class of problems - keep an eye out for it!
I can run it in a firefox tab, and I don't have to install anything or do another login/sync.
They could have said "35 out of 36" instead of putting some scary number like "94%".
I know uid 0 in container will always map to uid outside the container (e.g. 1005), but I haven't tried e.g. uid 999 in the container to ensure it maps to uid outside of the container (again, 1005), does that work?
So Texas has turned into Nazi-era Germany, or alternatively many Cold War-era communist countries? Though I don't think neighborhood snitches got cash rewards back then, so that's some progress.
Very interesting. Can anyone tell me what the relationship between PQ and k-d trees are? I'm too tired to fully understand if they're two sides of the same coin or just related.

Would be cool if one could opt out of the data collection they do by paying them actual money. In the beginning, WhatsApp charged a couple of dollars a year. I would be willing to pay a couple of ten dollars a year for their service to obtain more privacy from Facebook Inc.

35 out of 36 is scary.
Is there any reason to think your satellite, drone, or spy plane will survive that 2-hour window in a wartime scenario to in fact, pick out the aircraft carrier in the 15,000 sq. mile area it could have traveled?
Highly recommend Empire if Pain about the Sacklers and how they got away with these crimes.

Longer story short they piped the earnings from the opioid crisis out of company for decades and then when the net was finally closing on them, they filed for bankruptcy in a court of their choice with a very favorable judge. It is this same judge who granted the full immunity.

Disgusting.

A significant amount of addictions came from those who were overprescribed and instructed to take, by their doctors (who were instructed and given bogus studies by the Pharma reps) after surgeries, which led to chemical dependence and addiction.

Hello everyone, I am from the CacheLib team at Facebook. We hope CacheLib provides a platform for the industry to collaborate on exiting problems with upcoming hardware technologies. For example, We've partnering with a few universities and industry folks over the last year to advance the state of the art in caching small objects(https://www.pdl.cmu.edu/PDL-FTP/NVM/McAllister-SOSP21.shtml).

If you are excited about caching as well, tell us about how you foresee using CacheLib or the exciting cache challenges that you face today.

Here's an article:

>>>

In 1952, the Sackler brothers bought a small patent-medicine company, Purdue Frederick, which was based in Greenwich Village and made such unglamorous staples as laxatives and earwax remover.

According to court documents, each brother would control a third of the company, but Arthur, who was occupied with his publishing and advertising ventures, would play a passive role. The journalist Barry Meier, in his 2003 book, “Pain Killer: A ‘Wonder’ Drug’s Trail of Addiction and Death,” remarks that Arthur treated his brothers “not as siblings but more like his progeny and understudies.”

Now Raymond and Mortimer, who became joint C.E.O.s, had a company of their own.

...

Richard Sackler worked tirelessly to make OxyContin a blockbuster, telling colleagues how devoted he was to the drug’s success.
No kidding, but then other people read that headline and get the wrong idea. For example Drudge Report is screaming that Joe Rogan is taking horse medicine. No, he’s not.
This hedge fund example is not great because the hedge funds that beat the market(and overcome the added management fees) can't do so consistently.
Add it to the pile on the back.
If only it was as simple as that. In medicine a wrong diagnosis can have very bad real world consequences so 90% cheaper and 99% faster has a very real possibility of being a net negative.
On a similar note, as I understand it skimmers placed on ATM machines and the like are now so small they are almost impossible to detect.

weird. i'm european, live in europe, only use credit cards. either visa or amex. they offer better protection when buying something, protection against scammers, plus added benefits (from travel to cashback etc). it also contributes to my credit score.

if anything i think europe is actually craving a lot more credit, see klarna as a good example.
This extension is great. If anyone is interested, my roommate and I partially implemented the previous revision of it on a RISC-V GPU called Vortex: https://carrv.github.io/2021/papers/CARRV2021_paper_87_Adams...

I'm excited to see that the RV32 AES instructions now have separate rs1 and rd fields, because the previous version combined them into just rt, which was kind of annoying from an implementation perspective, since you had some register that was both input and output (iirc, unlike any other RV32 instruction previously implemented on that hardware)
You don't need to cover large areas of the open ocean. Only where you have tracked the carrier to be. You are insane if you think that hiding a carrier is feasible in 2021. Even with cold war tech the US had tracked down most USSR submarines let alone carriers.

More upcoming rulings from Ireland:

> This will not be the last time that Dublin tussles with Facebook over potential privacy violations.

> Currently, the agency has 15 investigations, including the one involving the €225 million upcoming fine, into how the social networking giants handles people's personal information. That includes a probe into whether WhatsApp can legally share its users' data with Facebook's other digital services, among other privacy-related concerns. Other Big Tech companies also under scrutiny by the Irish are Apple, Google, Microsoft, Twitter and Verizon, respectively, according to the regulator's most-recent annual report.

I've been a bit disillusioned with podman recently for breakage reasons. The cgroups v2 migration for example have caused a lot of pods to break and require recreation and the error message for debugging this problems are not reported well. The docs are also not missing any detail that would help debug this kind of problems.

The underlying runtime leaks through, but it feels like the podman docs don't want to document that, but they also don't point to anywhere where it is documented. So you end googling this issue, find people in the issue tracker having their issues closed because it's a problem with the runtime and then try to map the error you're seeing in podman to the other projects to google to see if there's any reported information.
Those are likely related to people consuming the animal grade ivermectin, not the prescription based for humans.

More than 700 million people have taken ivermectin as an anti parasitic medicine. Something like 4B doses have been given. The WHO lists Ivermectin as an essential medicine.

I tend to distrust any advocacy of a piece of tech that doesn't discuss at least one trade off. Engineering is all about tradeoffs.
> This is like the comparisons of 200 top hedge funds to index performance and concluding that hedge funds can’t beat the market.

I think you've misread what conclusion you're supposed to draw from this kind of assessment.

For both the hedge funds and this the conclusion isn't that the job is impossible - but that we lack the tools to predict who will do the job. You can't know which hedge fund will outperform (though some will) and we don't seem to be able to predict which AI models will perform well enough to use. Also that your odds of picking a winner "from the field" are quite bad.

It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with using a hedge fund - but there's a level of risk that one shouldn't ignore.

Like, my conclusion from this is that I would not accept a pure AI solution (because most of them are bad), but I would be interested in AI assistance. For many people, the promise is in replacing not supplementing doctors and this is the same as failure.
I've been encountering this a lot today, because apparently the MTA (and the Metro North) have decided that Twitter is their official news distribution channel [0]. They're posting updates there more frequently than they are on their official website, and because we're in the middle of dealing with a hurricane, they're pushing me to interact with Twitter to figure out how to get home tonight.

Apropos of that: the MTA is using threads now, and I can't click 'show thread' without being redirected to a login screen. I don't want to create an account because I find twitter painfully shallow but also addictive, as well as generally untrustworthy (I don't want them to have my phone number).

I don't think that any part of the government should be using twitter the way the MTA is; but so long as they are, I think Twitter would do well to get out of the way of the distribution of vital info.

I've never personally had a radiology scan where two radiologists worked together on it.
The svg graphs are just generated from extracting markdown links. Right now it's a bash script that writes dot code to a file, and then the dot is compiled to svg... I really need to switch that bash script to jinja or anything a little more serious.

That makes sense but in that case they'd have their heads down. The animals in the picture are standing with their heads up, looking straight ahead. All of them!

From the anguish of those who try to implement the POSIX shell, I understand that edge cases are far from difficult to find. The Almquist shell (Debian Dash) is cited for not using lex/yacc to implement the parser, and described as untrustworthy.

Go on, name a few that aren't mentioned in the media yet.
I'd look to the Black Panther Party in the 1960s, and ask whether Americans have the same rights today as they did then. Couple of points I find interesting here.

(1) As I understand it, open carry is illegal in California and Washington as a direct response to armed BPP demonstrations on capitol buildings.

(2) Private enforcement like was carried out by the BPP was echoed in CHAZ/CHOP, and to put it mildly, I've never seen that celebrated by gun rights activists.

(3) The BPP and police forces of the time were fairly well matched in their armament. Since then, the police are now paramilitary forces replete with military arms and armor. Are American gun rights activists deluding themselves, that they'd stand a chance if the police and military decided they were gonna run shit? Or are they merely comfortable in the knowledge that the police and military are politically aligned with them?
Opiods aren’t useless, but it is absurd to see claims that they aren’t highly addictive, and that addictiveness is merely a media narrative.
legalization is really an orthogonal issue. opioid painkillers are a very useful class of drugs that also have serious potential for addiction. doctors understand this and must balance the risk/benefit trade off. the problem here is not that purdue sold addictive drugs, it is that the company intentionally deceived the public about how addictive their formulation is. even if all drugs were fully legal, it still ought to be illegal to misrepresent your product this way.

But you're not fighting the carrier first.

That drone is most likely to engage an AEGIS missile cruiser (one of the escort ships) providing a protective perimeter around the carrier first. Which has more than enough capabilities to shoot down any "drone" before it reaches the carrier.

The carrier itself also provides multiple AWACS to constantly be scanning for aerial approaches. That's the good thing about a carrier, its got aircraft of its own defending the group.

Can your drone penetrate the scanning area of a E2 Hawkeye?
From my understanding the biggest difference is the blades not getting covered in grime, because you're pre-filtering the air.

I've also heard airflow dynamics arguments, but I feel like I've heard them argued in both directions.

Semi related. An old exploit on a bitcoin hardware wallet measured power draw to extrapolate the private key, https://hackaday.com/2018/06/11/a-close-eye-on-power-exposes...

Hardware wallets are essentially a kind of highly specialized air gapped computer, so I wouldn't be surprised if a similar exploit could be used for larger air gapped systems.

edit; yep, power draw exploits are definitely a thing, https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-safe-is-your-air-gapped-pc...
> Both filters are on the intake side of the box fan. This means you don't need a bungee cord because the intake has negative pressure, the filters just "stick"

I agree with putting them on the intake side, but I still want them to stay put when the fan is turned off (with the switch or to move it to another outlet or in a power outage).
I get what you mean, but git is basically a tool for manipulating the .git directory (and a working directory checkout).

I think understanding what .git dir contains and represents is as important as understanding the tool.

It's not like you need to understand how the tool works internally, or how it's built.

Analogy would be that you want to understand how to use a hammer, sure, but also the characteristics of material you manipulate with it. You don't need to understand how the hammer is built.
Recent example: 99% of all software to solve protein structures is crap. And then there is AlphaFold.
The only thing set up was the raspberry pi having an OS installed. Had never used HA or ESPHome before. I was shocked how easy it was if you're comfortable with a terminal. I'd never even used docker before.

My steps were:

1. Install docker

2. Install/run HA through docker

3. Install/run ESPHome through docker (there's a config wizard)

4. Edit the ESPHome .yaml from (3) to my preferences

5. Connect 4 wires from the ESP32 to the air quality sensor

6. Plug ESP32 USB to RPi

7. Run docker esphome on the above yaml. This compiles, flashes, and boots your ESP32, auto-connecting to your network

8. Add the ESP air quality sensor to HA through the web GUI
Yes. They can be turned into gift cards and resold online. I remember reading somewhere that most of an airline's profits come through their loyalty programs.
This type of evaluation (both the meta-evaluation and the underlying studies themselves) are the exact sort things AI enthusiasts should want researchers to do. It cuts through the hype, and gives everyone a clear assessment of where the technology currently stands.

Clearly there is room for improvement. Maybe this study will also spur the development of new types of systems which augment human/radiologist decision-making.

Windows has a built in Video Compression optimized for Screen Cast / Screen Capture (See [Windows Media Video Screen][1]).
It yields much better results than x264 for this task.

It is used by [FastStone Capture][2].
