I do not know what the "wet bulb" equivalent of that is

40 deg c at 60% relative humidity is about 31 degrees "wet bulb".

35 deg c wet bulb is around 40 deg c at 95% relative humidity, or 45 deg c at 60% relative humidity.

At 20% relative humidity a wet bulb temperature of 35 would mean an air temperature of almost 60.

> To reply as the devils advocate to this comment, what is the tolerance to social costs that society is willing to bear? Also why would one segment of society have to do something that it doesn't want e.g. not bear risk if they want to?

It has been debated to death and one of the thing we can't negotiate with is time so at some points some actions have to been taken, some things conceded. We can keep on debating the benefits of smoking and individual freedom but we as a society (our institutions) have decided that smoking or not wearing shoes inside restaurants is not allowed.

At some points our society decided that it wants everyone (let's put aside the special immunodeficient, babies, etc. cases) to be vaccinated.

Now why should I be obliged to risk my health by going to restaurants, social events or work where I am taking the risk to get covid because other people are fine with the risk (or are not fine but refuse to get the vaccines on the ground that it's not a health matter but a compliance to law matter for them. I know one) ? It's like smoking, don't blow it in my direction. Vaccines/pass/etc. are a necessity for the vast majority to enjoy life as it was, to get some freedom back.

People willing to participate in society without following the rules that society put in place to participate safely should not be allowed to join in without restrictions. It's my opinion, not a logical conclusion to any reasoning about our laws and how we behave as as specie/culture.

It's fine if they don't get the vaccines but it's not fine to put others at risk.

We can debate the fairness aspect of this decision or the framework in which freedom and liberties are defined and understood but at some points reality force us to take a stance.

There'll never be a perfect solution that reconcile everyone's visions of freedom.

With all that being said I strongly believe that keeping on debating publicly these aspects of the situation 24/7 is harming our recovery or transition to a better situation. These `debates` are just maintaining the illusion that options are still on the table, that we have the luxury to debate them, that somehow the longer we beat the same old dead horse maybe covid problems will magically disappear, that debating and coming to the same set of possible conclusions is somehow useful.
Nobody is either a self-centered individualist or a selfless community member. These ideologies are terrible representations of reality. It's easy to entertain philosophies of individualism, self-reliance and empowerment along with caring for your community, the greater good, etc. I think most people would agree that all these ideas are beneficial to both individual and communal well-being.

The work at Bletchly wasn't declassified until the 70s. The house and the site was a near ruin when I visited in the 90s. Hardly a government promoting anyone or anything. There is some, quite rightly, national disgust at the way Turing was treated which probably plays into his myth.

> and proving that a very simple physical machine can perform any computation (Turing completeness)

This is a misunderstanding of the Turing machine model. The Turing machine is not designed to be a realistically implementable physical machine, and indeed there are no details in Turing's paper on how such a physical machine could be achieved.

Instead, the Turing machine model is designed to be a mechanistic model of what a mathematician does (in rote day-to-day tasks at least). The tape is a representation of the notebook where the mathematician writes down notes. The read head is a representation of the mathematician reading from the notebook.

It's fascinating to read the paper because of this, since it spends quite a few paragraphs showing that this simplification doesn't lose anything of the mathematician's work. It spends some time noting that even though paper is two-dimensional, it can be losslessly compressed on unidimensional tape. It spends time noting that writing/reading one symbol at a time is a good enough approximation for human writing/reading. It spends time noting that the next step doesn't need to depend on more than the current symbol + internal state, as human attention is also focused on a limited number of symbols.

This is actually why Turing's paper is so convincing on the argument of universal computation - not because the machine is realizable, but because it's hard to invent anything that a mathematician does while calculating that is not captured by the Turing machine model.

I very much recommend reading the first part of the paper [0] to see this argument (the second part, where it is proven that this abstract machine can in fact compute all known numbers, is more technical and flew over my own head).

> If you want to work on a world class team then you now put world class expectations on yourself, if you are fine working on menial tasks then you don't have any issues at all not being productive.

In open source it works naturally. I can contribute a trivial improvement to a project where geniuses do magic. Hey, I am not a genius, but I can still improve the documentation, or add a translation, and my humble contribution is still an improvement to the overall project; the geniuses don't mind me doing this.

It just somehow doesn't work at a job. Speaking for myself, I absolutely wouldn't mind if the geniuses get 10x the salary I get; that would be completely fair. Sadly, the geniuses usually don't get paid significantly more... if you are 10x more productive, your salary is maybe 2x higher. And then the company resents having to pay 50% of the genius salary to a person who is clearly not in the same league. Also, managers love treating people as replaceable, so they e.g. estimate the effort in man-days, ignoring the fact that one person's man-day could be another person's man-week or more. From this perspective, working with geniuses is exhausting.
OK good point, instead of "no data" I'll say "an insignificantly small amount of data from which it's impossible to draw any conclusions as you could use the same data to say pretty much anything".

What merits? You haven't explained them. That's the whole problem.

The concern is just seeing a problem and thinking forced medical procedures are the right solution. Handwaving about urgency doens't cut it. If it can't be explained exactly why this is needed, why it can't be achieved without that coercion, what criteria need to be met, etc. then there has not been enough work done to justify it.

You say covid is urgent, so what if we find rates going down in future and therefore urgency reducing? Under what circumstances would forced vaccinations no longer be necessary?
This sounds like an argument against the effect of dose.

e.g. ‘They will eventually be exposed, ergo it doesn’t matter if they are exposed more.’

This is likely wrong. People that consume more TV media have more body issues and more depression. e.g. In our part of the woods, most of the senior girl’s sports teams are on anti-depression medication.

Right. Regardless of the specific pattern matching function, in both cases, the results were both incorrect and unwanted. Which is why I consider this instance to be a variation on the same issue.

I came across this thread as I was trying to find out whether [redacted]
s Twitter account had been hacked. I fear that all of this might ruin everything he has built. For about a year, I listened to every single episode of [redacted], current and older ones, and I learned a lot. I even purchased a 1-year subscription to support him, as soon as this was possible. I stopped listening around one year ago because I felt that most of the podcast was about satisfying his sponsors and it seemed to me that [redacted] himself had completely lost interest in the topic. He appeared to be less and less prepared and more and more unmotivated and bored. His questions came across as unqualified and lacking respect for his guests and their technologies. Is it possible that all I just described were symptoms of what culminated into the episode he's suffering right now? I have no experience with this kind of issues and wish him the very best, not only but especially after his (former) work has made me a better engineer.
I watched the "Imitation Game" and read the biography of Turing by Andrew Hodges.

What I found fascinating about the biography was recognising what Turing was describing in theoretical terms, as actual hardware and software concepts today. I know some parts are somewhat obvious, but it was still nice to trace the concepts back to excerpts from his work.

The Imitation Game is a nice fiction, but doesn't portray Turing as having very much agency, in comparison to the real Turing. I think the fictional and real-life characters were completely different.

It's foolish to use a standard well defined very precise but incorrect term of art like like "MIME Type" that is actively misleading to a technical audience of github users who are more likely than most people to know the standard official definition, and which is LESS commonly known than a correct widely understood vernacular term like "file name extension", if your goal is to be understood by everyone.

I'd rather a technically oriented site like github be "unrealistic" and correct and instructive, than foolish and wrong and misleading. Are you really saying it's better to use the wrong term because github users might not understand the more widely known correct term?

Just how does leading the user on a wild goose chase looking up the definition of "MIME Type," causing them to waste their time and misunderstand the error message, when it's really a file name extension (a term which more people understand anyway), help the user achieve their goals?

The bottom line is that github disallowing "MIME Types" or "file name extensions" in user names, just like a bank disallowing "select" and "drop" and "from" and "null" and "delete" and "bobby" and "tables" in passwords, is a symptom of a much larger more terrible problem, and whoever wrote that stupid error message instead of fixing the underlying bug that caused it has much worse problems than poor English language writing skills.
From the pricing page:

it obviously isn't perfect — there are people making more than $40,000/year for whom $5/month is an undue burden, and there are people making less than $40,000/year who can easily afford $5/month. but it's not like i'm checking, it's basically pay-what-you-want with $40,000 as a suggested cutoff for paying.
I don't necessarily disagree, but how would they have effectively questioned that order? If they asked for confirmation for who they were striking, they would have received the US's faulty intel. And it's not like they had any power to independently verify it.

If there were a massive amount of charges filed for everyone involved with the strike, I'd agree that the servicemen should also be charged. I'm not sure that's where we should start, as I feel it's too likely that's also where we would end and they are the least responsible of the related parties.
Googling tip: if what you're looking for is the definition of a word, try typing:

You'll see that the third definition which comes up is: "the orientation of an aircraft or spacecraft, relative to the direction of travel."

But that's the opposite direction from Turing's intention. The point of the Turing machine model is for the machine to be both mechanically plausible (no magic required) but also equivalent to what a human does when performing computation.

The Turing machine model is a mechanically plausible abstraction of a human performing a computation by following some steps in their mind and with a notebook. The tape stands in for the notebook. The read head stands in for the human's eyes. The write head stands in for their pencil hand. The internal state of the machine stands in for their mental state. At every step, you either read a symbol from the notebook tape and change your mental state in relation to this symbol, or write a symbol based on the current mental state. The procedure itself can be written on the tape, and you can occasionally refer back to it.

The original paper spends a good few pages working out this metaphor and showing that the machine model perfectly abstracts the mathematician's work of computation.

No file extension <-> MIME type "registry" exists. File extensions exist completely outside of MIME. Many file extensions do not correspond to a registered MIME type, or in many cases even a de-facto one (other than application/octet-stream or text/plain).

It seems pretty obvious - based on the failed username in question, and to someone with fairly deep technical knowledge - that they mean anything they consider a file extension. Which is not an excuse for this marvel of awful UI slapped on top of a poorly-thought-out workaround (for some unknown vuln (that's been patched for over 2 months and is still private? quite strange for an "open" company eh?).

Obviously, those are the opposite of productivity, the things you want to get rid of to get more things done. Productivity is about optimizing your workflow to the point where no action is wasted, and every second is used in the most beneficial way.

Maybe, maybe not. The thing is, nobody knows that. Creativity is random and unpredictable. Sometimes is bringing forth something good, but more often it's more harm than benefit. There is a huge mountain of survivorship bias with those cases.

It's true that we need the creative nut heads who think outside the box and contribute in mysterious ways to society. But not everyone should be a nut head and not everywhere we can afford them. We've seen in the last 18 months the other side that this creative minds will bring to society, in the form of conspiracy idiots and anti-vaxxers.
