Yes I think this has enough data to support less severity of illness with Delta. And because you are still able to be socially functional with the reduced severity, on average, you'll be out and about spreading it and keeping it alive and changing. This will be an issue when your vaccine immunity wanes and perhaps they don't dial in the next version of the booster to match or get it to you in time

It also depends how many months have elapsed since your last shot, more than five and it seems to be waning in Israel.

With, mu early indications seem to point towards it not working to reduce severity.
> Basic Orwell 101: Eternal war is a prerequisite for totalitarian rule.

I like Orwell, but people schematize real things into his examples too much, especially 1984. It's better to pay attention to the real thing as it is.

For instance, I think it's a serious possibility that China will mainly use economic power to expand its empire, by using markets to foster dependency in ways you can't really do if you've swallowed free market propaganda and your main motive is profit. The end goal could be something like China at the center of the world, with its ideology and system having prestige and setting the standard, surrounded by clearly-subordinate tributaries. That'd be great if your main ideological commitment is to Chinese nationalism, but not so great if you care about anything else.
The secondary features (PCIe, ECC) and tertiary features (chiplets) wouldn't have mattered if Intel had delivered 10nm in 2015.

It's a harsh truth, but nodes completely dominate the value equation. It's nearly impossible to punch up even a single node -- just look at consumer GPUs, where NVidia, the king of hustle, pulled out all the stops, all the power budget, packed all the extra features, and leaned harder than ever on all their incumbent advantage, and still they can barely punch up a single node. Note that even as they shopped around in the consumer space, NVidia still opted to pay the TSMC piper for their server offerings. The node makes the king.

It really isn’t. Where are you getting this idea from?
See above where I asked them during each interaction (usually more than once) whether the device was supported on their network. Also note that they replaced my device. Why would they send me a device that would no longer work on their network three weeks later?

Also, after swapping SIMs back and forth with my iPad, the ZTE 64 is once again working. I believe that TM is running a script that checks when the device first joined the network, and how long it's been since the device negotiated a 4G LTE connection. If joined after 8/1/2021 and no LTE for a week, the device is banned. Swapping the SIM into a different (LTE capable) device resets the one week timer.

As an aside, I can see that some of TM's cell sites are still advertising 2G service. Press releases from last year said they would support 2G/3G service until December 2022. Now the press releases are saying they will shut those down at the end of this month.

Sorry, that's also true.

My asterisk was talking more about the inability to visually tell the difference in many cases. The black people in America who could pass as white in the 1950's (or now). Or how Latino and Middle-Eastern people often get confused. There are numerous cases, both specific and general.

But yes, it's not an objective truth being measured, and I'm sorry if I implied otherwise.

>You seem to be aware that you are just navel gazing here.

I like to think of it more as "presenting the details of my argument clearly so that they can be discredited if I've made an error.," rather than "navel gazing." Of course, there is nothing wrong with criticizing ideas, and so thank you for your response.

I don't know that I have a direct counterpoint to your claim, and it might be that my argument is irreparably harmed. I might still wonder that this is still wrapped up in evolutionary psychology, as it seems to be related to the onset of puberty. So, perhaps my idea still plays a role in what's going on here, even if it is not the primary role. (ie, perhaps it's one of many factors at play. Women could still be quite invested their sexual prospects shortly before they hit their peak fertility.)

I suppose my question for you would be, what do you think about all this? Do you believe that young girls are affected differently than young boys by social media? If so, do you believe this relies on a psychological tendency which existed prior to social media? If so, do you believe there's any evolutionary component to it, or do you believe there's some other explanation?
$3.3MM as a bare minimum seems like way too much. The usual check size at an early/seed stage (re: angels) is around ~$25k, so this would mean having 132 companies in your portfolio. That’s extreme for anyone just getting started, even considering the “shotgun” approach.

It seems that most angels won’t have access to the “cream of the crop” as it were, perhaps that’s what’s skewing these numbers? (Worse companies on average would mean lower probability of success on any of them)

The author is correct that the return on average is 20%ish, but that actually takes several years if not decades. Most investors would be better off buying index funds - so you seriously have to enjoy this for it to make sense.
thanks for picking up my slack. Another CDC study/poll is shows even worse data than I imagined[1]: e.g. ~8% of high schoolers try to kill themselves every year (I know, sounds unbelievable. Please, everyone, check yourself and correct me if possible). The numbers for girls are higher than for boys but the rises over the years (and the influence through instagram) not necessarily, see the diagrams.

Affirmative action had a place just after desegregation. Now, it is just one of the examples of identity politics, pushed in a doomed attempt to placate the deconstruction crew. Given that deconstruction of societal institutes is a stated goal for these people they do not care whether it actually achieves anything productive for either those who are given positions based on identity categories, for the affected institutes of for society as a whole - as long as it creates strife the purpose has been fulfilled.

The usefulness of hardware acceleration for video decoding is highly debatable.

1) It's not always much more energy efficient, but it sometimes is, but less than you'd think, GPUs need power too

2) It increases greatly the complexity of client software that has to implement both accelerated and unaccelerated decoding, leading to poorer software quality

3) Drivers quality is usually terrible: lists of working hardware/software combinations have to be maintained and in some cases, holes in sandboxes have to be punched [1]

4) HW support usually lags behind state of the art encoding. Youtube is already using av1, but the vast majority of devices won't support it in hardware before something else comes up

5) Highly optimised decoders, such as dav1d, are extremely effective and save bandwidth and power compared to HW VP9.

EDIT: I'm mostly talking about the desktop/laptop use case here were things are very fragmented. On a mobile phone where manufacturers control hardware and software end to end, that's a different story.

TensorFlow doesn't support quantized inference (it supports only mimicking quantization in floating-point for quantization-aware training), so it can't immediately benefit from these optimizations.
It's tempting to use macro trends, like the advent of workplace safety, to confirm one's existing beliefs. Economy-wide changes like this are pretty much without exception driven by a bunch of different factors working together and you can pretty much always find some to cherry pick to back whatever your opinion is that minute.

Pretty much all the current literature about workplace safety seems to follow one ideological bent. I commend the author for at least hitting the topic from a wide array of angles even if he missed a couple.
I think that an important factor is the extent to which interviewers' assumptions and criteria are aligned.

At one of my previous jobs, I noticed the following in hiring:

- The senior engineering recruiter, in HR, thought that there was one standard for whether to make an offer, and that team selection happened afterward. The engineering managers who actually had the power to say yes or no instead thought that there was a hierarchy of quality among the positions offered, e.g. "we won't hire him, but send him over to those morons maybe they can use him."

- Engineering managers did not value open source contributions or non-work projects. I pointed out a particularly impressive piece of C++ on a candidate's github, and was told "how do you know that he didn't just get someone else to do that for him?" The manager cared more about the minutiae of undefined behavior in the iostreams library.

- Interviewers are not willing to take the time and energy it would take to grok someone's code and assess what it says about their value as an employee. The result would likely be subjective anyway. It's not unreasonable to conclude that fair assessment is too expensive. It also makes me wonder whether organizations with excellent code review culture are also excellent at interviewing.

Let's keep giving candidates programming-centered IQ tests, preferring people like ourselves, and occasionally when we wish to signal an interest in balanced racial or gender demographics, a committee will quietly adjust offers to compensate.
"Delusions"

> However, for existing dead satellites & debris that is above atmospheric decay in reasonable times, I wonder if it would actually be more effective/efficient (in terms of cost, delta-V, scheduling, etc.) to 'herd' the junk into a more out-of-the-way location for future use. It seems once on-orbit manufacturing starts, it'd be useful to have a lot o high-quality material up out of the gravity well, and all of that stuff has already had huge investment to get it to orbit in the first place.

Basically none of that is practical. Moving anything in space requires fuel. Changing a satellite's orbit from A to B requires the same amount of fuel as going from B to A. Going from A to B and then back to A takes twice the fuel. If you pick up more mass at B, you actually need more fuel to get back to A. You also need fuel to rendezvous with your fuel depot where you can get all the fuel for these trips.

Every rendezvous has a probability of failure. The more rendezvous you perform the more likely it is something bad will happen. Satellites aren't usually super sturdy structures because they're optimizing for mass. So some satellite herder needs to spend a lot of extra fuel matching the target's spin rate and velocity so capturing it doesn't cause it to break apart.

Then there's the orbital manufacturing. Even if you managed to capture hundreds of satellites and herd them into some holding orbit, you've got a bunch of heterogeneous parts clumped together. You'd need to disassemble a bunch of devices that weren't meant to be disassembled. Even if you get them disassembled they're a bunch of finished packaged parts. They're not going to be reusable so they'd need to be melted down. Now you need smelters and centrifuges and every other chain in recycling materials to base feedstocks.

That's all an absurd level of complexity and danger compared to just de-orbiting a satellite. The costs don't even compare. Your proposal would be phenomenally expensive if it was practical. Satellite clean up is highly impractical and expensive but still orders of magnitude more practical and cheaper than the things you're talking about.

The taxi services are not only overpriced but they are bad as well. Many drivers take advantage of the lack of transparency and supervision(i.e they overcharge you, don't keep the cars clean, you can't leave any review etc). I like Uber because they fixed many of the taxi service issues(at least on the consumer side). The taxi drivers/industry deserves a Uber "disruption".

The table from the CDC is split into two parts, one covering April 4 - June 19 and one covering June 20 - July 17. I used the death rate from the latter.

As far as age groups go, isn't there a pretty high correlation between high risk age groups for flu and high risk age groups for COVID?

As far as vaccine efficacy goes, the comment I decided to try to check the data on was comparing deaths, not infections. The mRNA vaccines in the US have had only a slight drop in the effectiveness at preventing death.
One property cash has is that you can transfer it freely -- Visa can't decide they don't like your business and shut you down overnight if all your customers are paying in cash. Cryptocurrencies afford a similar guarantee for long-distance payments, without the fraud potential in, e.g., wire transfers.

Classical solutions running out of a database almost certainly could work better, but historically the middlemen involved have been unwilling to relinquish that level of control and just serve as dumb infrastructure.
That's actually an interesting observation, though perhaps a bit besides the point for an analogy that wasn't meant to be perfect. Regression to the mean does not seem to apply the same way to skin color, even though presumably it is also a polygenetic trait to quite some extent.
