The higher rates of death and serious illness among the unvaccinated has nothing to do with what I was arguing. You are willfully misinterpreting my argument.

I was arguing that given Iceland, at almost full vaccination, is having its biggest COVID wave yet, means full vaccination does not provide herd immunity, and thus every one will eventually get exposed to COVID irrespective of the vaccination rate.

So you can't make a sound argument that other people's decision to get the vaccine is increasing other people's chance of being exposed to COVID.
I have a few medium format film cameras. I was also excited about the Instax back since Polaroid film stocks appear to be gone (I believe the remaining Polaroid stock are now hoarded in cold storage by people smart enough to grab the last of it).

I can only dream about a time when you could easily shoot B&W Polaroid in medium format or larger. They're practically giving away the Polaroid film backs on eBay. I should pick one up for each of my modulars in case some enterprising soul should decide to start up Polaroid film production again. (Reminds me of the older Hi-Fi vacuum tube variants ... they certainly have a longer shelf life though than film.)
Yes, I too confused on the same points you mentioned. Thanks for clarification.
For the longest time, Android tablets were really bad. Really, really bad. The hardware was subpar with terrible screens, low RAM and low available storage meaning they would slow to a crawl. Even on the high end ones, Android software was pretty poorly optimized for tablets.

They will sell you an irridium go and distribute data through their own email client but you can get all of that through Sailmail and using the saildocs email GRIB service for less money with a lot more flexibility, also I’m not sure how good their support is for using something like PACTOR over HF which if you are a licensed HAM is always free.

Sorry to be that guy... restaurant (a place to eat) use that form which comes from Latin via French (food that restores you, and so a place for eating that food). For some reason the English version became 'restore' (to renew, repair, make good again) and so we use 'restoration'. Makes little sense to me.
That's a very reassuring result, thanks for sharing.

Interesting that moderna continues to do better, and looking forward to seeing the studies VE versus time since vaccination.
COVID vaccines don't stop transmission enough to provide herd immunuty, so don't reduce the risk posed to others.

In fact not getting vaccinated makes it more likely one will acquire natural immunity from an infection, and people with natural immunity are less likely to transmit the virus, so it may actually be more protective for others if a higher percentage of the population doesn't get vaccinated and acquires natural immunity.
Ask HN: How do I switch careers to cyber security?
Throwaway just because. Actually, if I'm honest I'm a little embarrassed to be asking stuff like this. Anyway.

I'm 38, and have a mostly digital marketing/web build agency/content type background. Long story short, I hate my career. It's empty and contributes nothing to anyone of any import. However, I've done this for decades now, and have reached positions of some considerable seniority in agencies and consultancies.

For a long time, I've wanted to move into IT, specifically network administration and really specifically cyber security, perhaps as an analyst. I've read up on this, and decided now is the time to try and do it. I've started studying for my CompTIA A+ (and then Network+ and then Security+) exams as a start.

But I have no in-field experience. And I'm effectively starting from scratch.

I wanted to ask you, HN, is this stupid and/or crazy to attempt? Am I about to be hopelessly out of my depth? I've always been technically minded, and know my way around pretty much everything in CompTIA A+ already from what I've seen. But am I about to meet an impenetrable wall that is lack of real-world role experience?

And, as a two-pronged question theme, what would you do if you were in my shoes and did this this was a viable path to take? Have you ever switched careers like this? I'd love to hear about it if only for my own sanity/reality.
Because when I post an article, and then visit the new page in incognito, my article isn't there, although articles posted after it appear fine. And if I post things from other domains using that same account, they show up on the new page immediately.

It makes sense - I spammed only my blog daily for months. I'm not complaining!
> Your desktop does not have much private data (other than your files, which reputable programs don't scan without reason)

Disagreed. It's not just about files; once you run an untrusted binary on a desktop it will typically be able to capture your screen, keyboard input, etc. It doesn't need to be in a file for malicious software to be able to pick it up.

In contrast, mobile applications typically run within a sandbox where short of an OS/kernel exploit there is no way for the app to access anything else but its own data (besides a very limited subset like photos, etc that you still have to authorize explicitly).
> It wouldn't be bad at all if programming languages were localizable

That is an admirable dream to have, and one that I have sometimes had myself. Unfortunately, as with most things reality soon puts an end to it.

First, the dream is only really a dream you can have with the luxury of a Western language. It is unlikely to be viable once you start looking further East in the direction of e.g. Kartvelian languages (i.e. low number of speakers worldwide and even fewer with relevant specialisms in programming to write compilers) or Asian languages (e.g. Japanese and its particles and other complexities).

Second, when you are writing code you don't really want to have to worry about the possibility of debugging your compiler. Sticking to English means the likelyhood of a more robust compiler because of more widespread adoption. You also remove technicalities such as UTF-8 or whatever else that might cause indirect issues.

Its a bit like science really. Sure you can write your papers in your native language, but the reality is if you're serious about your work being discovered and are interested in being offered bigger and better jobs, you'll want to publish in English sooner rather than later.
> It wouldn't be bad at all if programming languages were localizable.

Go switch Excel or Google Sheets into a language you don't know. Then try to use formulas with them.

Come back and tell me if localized programming languages are a good thing after that. :D
> does the iPhone internally log strong vibrations sensed through the gyro/accelerometer

I would lean heavily towards "yes".

Ok im going to admit to a mistake revolving around NAT gateways and Lambdas.
So, i basically wanted to connect a Lambda to a Postgres / RDS database, for that I had to put into a private VPC, but the lambdas still had to talk to the world (a lot) so i just put a nat gateway around it no biggy.
Well, end of the story on one day i produced 2000 Euro in cost for the Nat gateway haha

This gets closer to slippery-slope argument, because in that case everything happens on black box software and is easier to manipulate or error prone. Apple can just say that logs say your gyro tells this and this.

Electric motorcycles have been here for years, nobody is adopting them because nobody wants them. They are closer to electric bicycles than they are motorbikes.

When I jump on my motorcycle, it is about the experience - not anything practical. The startup ritual, the heat of the engine on a cool day, the symphony of sound and vibrations, the weight of what is under you, the absolute bliss you feel shifting through the curves of the road, the adrenaline of masterfully coordinating lean, angle of attack, rev matching, and counter steer.

There is something incredibly dull about an electric motorcycle comparatively. They are practical, and I will admit the linear acceleration is fun, but with so much sacrificed I could never see myself owning one as a recreational vehicle.

Longtime Firefox user here. Oddly I have no problem with Tabs on top (I prefer that UI design), low contrast between tabs (there are favicons and text which clearly indicate the tabs, I am not lacking anything to make out where a tab is), removing XUL (only using few add-ons and those transitioned), performance (is fine for me on a macbook pro). Sometimes it feels to me as if there is a trend to bash on weaker projects like fediverse, encryption projects, open source browsers, ...

For me the main argument to use Firefox is not living in the Google universe which is quite a huge value in itself and the fact that it is open source.

Oh and they finally added proper dark mode on macOS and did quite some work for Firefox to look and feel more at home on macOS in the last versions. This is really nice to see and appreciated.

Btw Firefox has seen a bottom in 2021 June and user numbers have been going up slightly since then:

I would love to see how that compares to the great bison herds, or the great African savanna migrations

Maybe as an idea, just the food and the fact that bison etc used to have a more active life and varied foods than modern cows meant that they released less methane?

Lastly, ought be noted that methane releases from industrial agriculture are very much under counted and that might need to be accounted into the comparison [1]

Disclosure: I work for Neural Magic.

Hi 37ef_ced3, AVX-512 has certainly helped close the gap for CPUs vs GPUs. Even then, though, most inference engines on CPUs are still very compute bound for networks. Unstructured sparsity enables us to cut the compute requirements down for CPUs leading to most layers becoming memory bound. This then allows us to focus on the unique cache architectures within the CPUs to remove the memory bottlenecks through proprietary techniques. The combination is what's truly unique for Neural Magic and enables the DeepSparse engine to compete with GPUs while leveraging the flexibility and deployability of highly available CPU servers.

Also as boulos said, the numbers quoted here are a bit lopsided. There are more affordable GPUs and GCP has enabled some very cost effective T4 instances. Our performance blog on YOLOv3 walks through a direct comparison to T4s and V100s on GCP for performance and cost:
https://neuralmagic.com/blog/benchmark-yolov3-on-cpus-with-d...

Additionally, I'd like to clarify that our open sourced products do not communicate with any of our servers currently. These are stand alone products that do not require Neural Magic to be in the loop for use.
When I started developing for Apple platform(Objective C) I wondered why there are no examples in the documentation, I used to think may be all other Apple platform developers are just smarter than me and the SO answers almost always referred to a WWDC video.

Thanks to you now I feel vindicated that even (Sr.?) Apple internal developer seems to feels that Apple Documentation should have examples although it's likely you were developing some obscure OS feature.

TBH I don't develop for the platform anymore, So I'm glad I don't have to put up with it anymore. I assume Swift has made development easier.

Cows have bacteria in their rumen which produce methane. As a curiosity, I ddg’d “do pigeons fart”, and according to pigeonpedia they do not because they have short digestive tracts lacking gas producing bacteria.

That's not NV related sadly, but applies for all Android TV devices. It's beyond their control...

And for PCIe VFs for virtualized GPUs, AMD does _not_ provide it either outside of their datacenter line.

Note that if you just passthrough the whole GPU, that works out of the box on NVIDIA cards.

(btw, for some NV cards, there is: https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock to crack that protection)
What a crappy patent. We really need patent reform. This is basically a patent troll (or they plan to be a gatekeeper and make money from the companies that make VR).

This company has about a 0% chance in the next 20 years of producing high quality VR. There is already prior art here.

So many ways to make patents better, including:
- making it more expensive, with annual fees
- increase the cost over time
- just generally setting a target to reduce acceptance by 50%

Patents are ok in theory, when they promote true, material innovation via government enforced monopoly. However, the cost to society is high, so the cost should be high. And patents floating around more than 5-10 years are the ones with the most damage.

The only main counterexample is pharma. But here, it's also broken because most patents are not for groundbreaking drugs. We can also incentivize in other ways, like grants and contests (e.g. first person to cure X disease gets $1B, second person $500M).
That’s the sales pitch, but I haven’t seen any evidence. Almost all the sound is projected behind you, where people can already see you (and where high-vis clothing would be more effective than sound anyway, but you don’t see many bikers wearing that).

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Lambda fan. But unlike EC2/EBS/etc, talking to some AWS services from a Lambda that's inside a VPC requires additional infra and you have to pay for the egress. In the end it just wasn't worth the price for us. It was a bad surprise money-wise.
Bird poop tends to be dispersed (with some exceptions), and so will tend to decompose aerobically, which does not produce methane.
Seeing some inexpensive Russian (Kiev, Moskva) medium-format rangefinder cameras on eBay (maybe these are no good?, never shot one). The Fuji GS and GW cameras can be found for <$1K and are pretty highly regarded.
I feel you. I do take the risk – the leverage on automation and manageability that Terraform e.a. give me are just too good to pass, and only with a 100% API approach like AWS provides it can I play the 100% infrastructure-as-code game, and I simply won't play any other game anymore.

Through the very same means, first thing I do with every new AWS-based project is setting up a cleanly organized Org with centralized billing, centralized IAM&Roles, centralized billing alarms, centralized SCP limitations(!!!) (as in “I will never run anything in Southeast Asia, so I disallow anything in Southeast Asia for all Org accounts), and very not-centralized resources per stage/subproject/vertical/whatever.

Plus sensible service limits on everything that has a service limit (request on API gateway etc.).

But as someone here said: your risk will remain > 0, you just have to accept that.

I think the three comments in this thread leading to my reply have it wrong.

I see the top comment as being clear. I see the next three comments complaining about the website. What exactly is wrong with it? It's very clear to me. Perhaps you three should learn more about how to use the internet instead of expecting websites to spoon-feed you everything that you don't know. Websites can't, and shouldn't be expected, to know what you don't know.

I opened the posted link [0]. It's clearly a blog. What's it about? It's about LibreELEC. There's a LibreELEC logo in the top left.

I would love to see statistics on how many tickets are issued per year for these violations. I suspect zero.
I imagine that you have regions of normal RAM reserved for Peripheral IO, and that the peripheral directly copies it’s data to or from that region using DMA. For the CPU and the driver developer, this means there is no special handling required of these ranges of memory. If the PCIe bus is slow, the CPU is not slowed down because the transfer can be async.

This is perhaps the DMA scenario you describe in the last two lines, my thinking is that it would make sense to do this all the time, at least when transfers are large.
It’s not clear what your argument is. I agree with you that reducing medical expenses is being used by some as a justification for vaccine mandates. The data you provided also clearly shows vaccines reduce hospitalizations.
