> Nobody has found a better way, though they often try.

This I agree with.

> That's an immutable fact of human nature. Even cradle to grave propaganda doesn't change it.

This I disagree with. Past societies saw far more social cohesion at points than our modern one. Especially on certain smaller scales, people were more willing to assist one another in the act of remaining alive without being compensated financially.

For instance- many people now think it would be unreasonable to help a friend move without some form of reward (money, food, etc.) This sort of value exchange for reward would be considered disrespectful in many past cultures and even some present cultures. Unwillingness to work without immediate reward not an immutable fact of human nature.
There are NO common tests to determine any of the strains.

The PCR test is so broad that it indicates positive for:

1. COVID-19 infection
2. COVID-19 viral fragments
3. Coronavirus Common Cold
4. Influenza A
5. Influenza B

Ever wondered by "Flu" disappeared in 2020? This is why: EVERY case of flu was counted as COVID.

The PCR tests are so non-specific as to be 100% useless. This is why the FDA/CDC has a RFPs for a replacement to the PCR tests: the current one DOESN'T WORK.

To get more specific strain data, even antibody tests can not differentiate them accurately.

You literally have to hand-culture and hand-PCR, and then gene sequence the results. The problem with PCR and gene sequencing is they typically still use restriction enzymes that only confuse the identification.

Imagine identifying Dickens' "Tale of Two Cities" from all his other books simply by comparing propositions or a few nouns. That's how most gene sequencing for match actually work. They rely on the statistical unlikely possibility that two restriction enzyme'd short sequences won't ever BOTH appear.
This is why those of us who make low-latency systems turn off interrupts and context switches.

Not using a GC does not, in fact, make more work or more bugs, given a language that provides resource management facilities, such as C++ and Rust.

Programs using GC do typically leak, and most GCs make leaks much harder to find and fix. Most GCs even make it hard to determine if you have a leak.
I actually surprised we haven't had any big ones other than this in lets say past 50 years. It's clear that world is much more interconnected than ever before so pandemics should also be more common. But I wouldn't really even consider this one so big. Multiple percentage of global population hasn't died...
the setup is such a pleasure to use - they've really nailed the onboarding and are a great example for other startups
We went with the JSON / YAML approach and we are able to build some really complicated apps fast using Lowdefy - so it can scale, but only if you implement some sort of DSL to express logic.

It's not that contrarian. I think many modern web frameworks try to do this gradually. I wouldn't be surprised if Google attempted it and failed.
I've stayed away from edibles and vapes. I can barely take a small enough pull off a vape to not cough almost immediately. And I don't like the idea of "flavors" being added to it.

Gummies are the same. I can't really control the dose like I can by smoking and I don't like the idea that I might over do it and have to ride it out.
Newer Java runtimes are very conscious of tight garbage creation loops, and will generally either unbox or perform some internal object pooling to avoid GC pressure. Value types (targeting JDK 18? or maybe already in 17) will give developers a tool to create new stack-allocated types for performance-critical sections as well
CHS is not new - it was first reported in 2004: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid_hyperemesis_syndro...
It's generally a bad idea to invest too much in ML methods for physical world problems, especially considering it a panacea when their mathematical foundations are still poorly understood. The cost may be only computational when it comes to areas like Image Processing/NLP, however it's nowhere near the same for things like AVs (safety), Engineering Design problems (materials) etc. And this is because real world imposes real hard constraints, to the point that it'd be unfair to expect similar success to CS-related disciplines here from ML methods.

This is no different for manufacturing problems. Excluding the absurd PoCs/artworks, most of the actual structures in the article you've linked are impossible to mass-manufacture without 3D printing, which is still limited to precisely printings parts with unsuitable materials for their target application.

Keep in my mind that I was mainly referring to applying emerging trendy methods for which mathematical guarantees have not yet been established. Genetic Algorithms, for example, have been able to come up with successful antenna design optimizations like the one in the article for almost three decades.
A lot of free software has its origins in the author solving a problem for themselves. The reward was the solution to their problem.

Much of my contributions to open source, and what I've made available in terms of projects, is quite literally just "this functionality wasn't available", or "this was poor UX", and offering my solution to whoever wants to incorporate it into their stack, or into the main project.
The YouTube recommendation system is okay in short bursts. I don't log in and I use a private window when I browse YT. The downside is that I need to choose which rabbit hole I want to go down with a search, but after that I actually get relatively good recommendations for a while, then it slowly starts to decline and it's time to open up another private window.

So the system is relatively good starting from a clean slate for a short period of time when focused on a relatively narrow set of content. Other than that, I haven't found it to be very useful. Before doing this, I would rely on search and ignore most if not all of the recommendations that came my way.
This is the same reason airlines are always going bankrupt, and why many pieces of the economy are quite fragile: over optimization.

In the short run, a lot of leverage makes sense, it helps you get a leg up, but if there's a Black Swan, then you're out.

It's a tricky thing because when a business fundamentally depends on those factors and it's hard to differentiate otherwise, well, it's just not fun. You're playing with fate instead of 'going things better'.

I wish they would innovate harder and make things more streamlined and easier. Renting a car is still a bit of a pain, the Car2Go model was nice, but they left my county sadly.
The vast, vast majority of playing an instrument well is about deep technical skill, not creativity. That's what we're discussing here.
How do you know what's right and what's wrong? Educate us, the ignorant, how to see the truth without messing with courts, discovery and evidence.

Edit: there's a legend that long time ago everyone had an eye of wisdom, called enochion, that allowed to see reality as it is; but that was in the pre-flood era and today we only see deceptive mirages and shadows.
Totally agree with this!
Easily, when the big guys decide we won't make cars in 1 year. And drop their orders for parts. Now they want to make them, but other industries have instead gotten their rights to buy parts. No parts, no goods...
There's a pretty solid consensus that white supremacists, vaccine-deniers, and election deniers are "problematic" and YT isn't going out on a limb to make that call.

How would you debug serious web apps written in this Rust/wasm? Chrome dev tools can't load your Rust code, right?
More extreme events, more frequently, causing more damage both in economic and human terms, mostly. Also, some places uninhabitable around South and South-East Asia, leading to lots of millions of refugees.

It is very difficult to quantify accurately, because this is unprecedented in the history of the planet, never mind the history of the human race.
When I explain the concept to people I usually call it the Goodhart-Strathern principle, to recognize the generalization she contributed and acknowledge the author of the most-commonly quoted form of the law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure"
AVX2 (256-bit SIMD instructions) is huge in the encoding world. A lot of these encoding algorithms operate over reasonable block sizes (8x8 macroblocks) that ensure that SIMD-instruction sets benefit greatly.

ARM only has 128-bit SIMD through NEON. Its reasonably well designed, but nothing beats the brute force of just doing 256-bits at a time (or 512-bits in the case of Intel's AVX512)
The irony of a topic like this is that the algorithm will put the least contrarian opinions on top.

Right now the most conventional/pedestrian opinion you could possibly imagine is listed first.

It seems like you're focusing on a loss of money as a "stick" (punishment) and saying we could ignore that and just keep operating as usual. But it's also the "carrot" (motivation) signalling the demand and value placed on the activity by others.

In the end, aren't all the money and ledgers are just a way to simplify the ridiculously complex trades required to make modern society work? We don't want to have to exchange sacks of rice and live chickens when we see the doctor and he doesn't want to have to get those chickens converted into barley or whatever it is the medical supply company owner wants this week.

If you remove this signal, you don't just remove a threat of stagnation. You also remove efficiency signals to curtail under-valued work. Just as easily, the participants could do other absurd things instead. The grocer could keep performing shelf-stocking actions while the shelves and back storage area are empty. The doctor could decide they prefer to drive around in an empty delivery truck, while the truck driver decides to sit in the clinic and talk to patients about the weather. Etc.
Have you tried clicking "not interested" on the videos?
It's a common joke that people wreck their home states voting for progressive policies, then flee the effects to more conservative states, but forget to leave their voting habits behind.

I don't actually agree that you can support progressive policies but not want to pay bloated public pension obligations, at least if you want to be consistent. The essential nature of progressive policies necessitates large state obligations and thereby creates individuals dependent on the state. It's a vicious cycle that centralizes more and more power in the state.
While the animated breakdown itself is phenomenal and certainly makes the video, one of the other key aspects is the progressive explanation of _why_ this mechanism is designed the way it is. You can watch the video without sound, and probably without the text as well, and see exactly how the "spikey ball" was designed, how the driver gears were created, how to get two types of movement from the drivers from linear inputs, and how those movements translate to moving the ball joint.

It reminds me of the old Chevy videos, such as the one on differentials[1]. It was created in 1937, and through some live demonstrations and clever use of stop motion the film shows how to separate wheel movement, fix gear slippage, attach a drive shaft, then optimize for space. Different visual technology, but same type of presentation. There's similar videos for transmissions, suspensions, etc, all incredibly enlightening.

Like: They are pushing the web and technology in general by inventing a ton of different services. This is really nice.

Dislike: Traffic price is just crazy high, it is simply impossible to start anything that is bandwidth-heavy, they might give you a good discount after you spend your first $100k but still there are many alternatives to the most popular AWS services like EC2: Digital Ocean, Vultr, OVH; S3: DO Spaces, Tebi.io, Wasabi, etc.

They need to reduce traffic price by a lot!
> Mine is all pretty much filled with content that matches what I watch.

it should know that I don't want to watch the same things every day over and over relentlessly. There's hardly anything (by topic) I want to watch again the next day, except some news and political commentary which I do watch and it NEVER offers me.
FSD beta does have mechanism for object permanence, as explained on Tesla AI Day.
lol my 30k a yr isn't my side gig, its my only gig just in its 2nd year :) Its the side effect of being a one man band IT company in a town of only like 5000 people, income is low af. Hit me up gtvwill(at)gmail.com and I'll get in touch via official comms :)
Using BMI to measure obesity is like relying purely on line coverage to measure the quality of software testing. Why is this still the go to measure? Is it just the cost of other measurements?
I agree in general that patriotism is dumb. But honestly sports events are probably the healthiest place to channel any patriotic feelings - bragging rights are literally all that's at stake for the audience (and gambling winnings, I guess).
>Far more productive, is going to YouTube for something SPECIFIC. Use the search function to find what you're looking for, and watch those videos, but never use the homepage or sidebar recommendations.

Unfortunately the search is far from independent of the recommendation algorithm.

I've learned so much from YouTube. It's essentially a Gutenberg Revolution.
Who else has a chance to win? Why are they worse?
I would argue that this is a bit like suggesting that "having bricks complying with [some safety standard] is a reasonable-enough proxy for being 'actually structurally sound' as opposed to liable to collapse and kill you in the middle of the night"
Health US panel backs Covid-19 boosters only for elderly, high-risk
It is not a locale specific thing. Wages for hotel staff have gone up at least 20% in multiple cities around the country based on other people I have talked to, and costs for supplies have gone up even more.

It makes me happy though because it just means that the people having to work evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays are finally gaining some negotiating power.
Civilization II – The Story of One of Gaming's Greatest Ever Sequels
Cool but the controls are almost perfectly hard to use with a mouse. Must be intended for a finger? Being able to just click or tap on the level you want would be a huge improvement, also clicking in the center to mute it entirely.
I remember stumbling upon freelin.org back then. I didn't donate (I already had enough bandwidth at that time to acquire the distros I wanted), but I admired being dedicated to Linux that much to provide a service like that.
I’ve used Haskell and Racket (lisp), and while they’re great for learning fun new ways of coding and very specific use-cases, they’re terrible general-purpose languages.

I’ve also used Julia, albeit less, but i don’t really see the “amazing-ness” of it. Although I come from a typed-languages background with a good IDE, so I can definitely see how it’s amazing to someone coming from Python or R.

Rust honestly is IMO a great language and a huge step from C++. But again, it’s not the end-all, I still usually pick Java / Kotlin or something else unless performance really matters.
Uh, do you think maybe that has less to do with their anger management techniques and more to do with colonization and genocide?
> Of course there is no source code, but we get to bear witness to the great development habits of this author: 105 changed files in his repo.

Are you implying they are a sub-par developer because they haven't committed changes to 105 touched files? That doesn't seem like a great metric to judge someone by.
instead of firefox as the ech client, its possible to use esni/ech-enabled openssl together with proxy, so can use any tcp client, not just web browsers or only certain web browsers. because i use openssl i dont have to wait for firefox releases.

the "bleeding edge" ech is not in firefox. the above link says firefox is still stuck on drafts 08 and 09. openssl is on drafts 10 and 13.
Maybe this is the time for a big shout out to the creators of git for making use cases like these a first class citizen.
funny, I feel the same way about Ruby going to Python - i don't like list comprehensions, for example - feels so crusty and limited compared to yielding blocks in ruby
I can relate to this.

Especially after intense bouts of focusing on particularly complex problems, I might experience thoughts and have dreams in strange logic / programming kind of modes, unlike normal linguistic thought patterns.

And non physically real things, like dreaming about wanting a drink in strange logic. Or if I'd been working on something very multithreaded, thinking in fragmented parallel modes.

Very hard to describe it with normal language. Can be almost disturbing when you wake and get back into normal thinking mode as it is difficult to relate to the previous mode.
BTC Challenge (2018)
Considering the huge backlash against the vaccine due to the negative effects, I would argue most people aren't capable of doing a cost/benefit analysis and understand that.
I don’t even know what agendaless news would look like. A newsfeed of press releases I guess. Point is, journalism starts with the premise that something objectionable is happening (otherwise, we could just enjoy the press releases and get on with life)
Most of the answers here are wrong. The real reason is that when companies go public through a regular IPO, they can't show projected financials, only actual results.

Ginkgo has poor results so far, but huge projections, which a fair number of people believe. So, SPAC.
> government IT systems

This is not limited to governments. Although it's a common naive bias to assert that governments are worse and less efficient than private industry, what is really happening is that government budgets and projects are open to the public, done in the open. For every failed Healthcare.gov, there are dozens of private industry failures that don't make the news because the operations are not subject to the public disclosure rules.
The rise in the rate of hospitalizations and deaths among the fully vaccinated continued with today's update[1] covering the period up to 9/13. Chart[2]. Code and snapshots on GitHub[3].

Hospitalizations from COVID19 among the fully vaccinated went from 5.1/100K to 5.7/100 and deaths from COVID19 among the fully vaccinated went from 1.2/100K to 1.4/100K over six days.

I have no idea what comparable numbers are for other diseases, but if 1 out of every 17,500 people vaccinated against small pox or measles was getting hospitalized with the disease, we'd have heard about it by now.

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

The cat-whisker detector is commonly described as the first solid-state device, discovered in 1874, patented in the early 1900s, and used in various experimental radios through the development of radio technology at that time.

Its not a "modern transistor design", but its solid state, its through a semiconductor... and its one step away from reliably amplifying. Its kinda funny that the physics to understand this thing were developed after its invention...
PostgreSQL on the Move
A small fraction of that number of refugees is bringing several European and American democracies to their knees. The problem is not the migrants, but how they are used to prop up fascistic and illiberal agenda. Regardless of the other effects of climate change, this in itself could cause the collapse of a few countries, which is kind of a big deal.
I would go to a library and peruse their archived periodicals.
Check out https://github.com/lowdefy/lowdefy which is open-source.

We created Lowdefy (co-founder here) to built web apps fast and it is really working well for us and our customers. We’ve already rolled out a few enterprise level apps in record time and the platform really scales well as apps evolve and get really complicated. Even developing apps as a team is a breeze since you are working with yaml / json which is easy to code review, copy, paste, find and replace.

I wonder, does either have "magic DNS" where I can access machines by their hostname or hostname.local or hostname.intra.mydomain? Last I checked zerotier had added a push dns feature but not on linux which is a deal breaker.
Personal experience sharing time. I use YouTube heavily, and even pay for YT Premium.

The other day a little modal appeared on the side of youtube.com desktop saying something like, "Curious for new stuff? Explore content that isn't what you usually watch."

It ended up being sorta like an alternate reality. It was all the topics I usually watch, but with different channels I don't normally see at all. In other words, it was as if all the channels I normally watch don't exist, what else would exist to fill the void.
I have absolutely no idea how or even if that could be discovered, which is why my original comment was more about expressing frustration than offering a solution.

I do know that several things going on currently will make it more impossible to discover: increased financialization of commodities, outsourcing, destruction of culture via removal of differentiating markers, etc. If any society is going to discover the half-shift truck driver economy, they're going to be one that is almost entirely self-sustaining and committed to perpetuation of itself, not one that is leveraged up to the eyeballs, suffers from a total lack of manufacturing expertise within its component citizens, and relies on cheap foreign labor to make everything.
