Assuming that is a legitimate question:

Whataboutism is a logical fallacy where a person tries to frame the other as a hypocrite for supporting one view when another view exists.

You probably already knew that but stating it for the sake of anyone who may not.

It is used pretty exclusively by dishonest people and people who have a poor grasp of the topic. Also, to add to it, the car vs plane example is extreme to the point of being condescending. He completely dismissed my point and went straight to assuming I must be either being dishonest or ignorant.

So yes, I took that personal. Especially when my comment was not whataboutism at all, it was actually directly related to the discussion in the parent comment about desktop apps. I apologize for not just letting it go/slide.

a command line for the entire http request is reconstructed, which is cool, but a bit different than what the headline implies.

Did this for years. Finally gave up last year. It’s so much work, discovery is a huge pain, listening on all devices is a pain. None of it was worth it.

Yes, AirBnB support is terrible.

I booked a place in a major city, but the queen bed turned out to be a twin bed. We complained, and at midnight they told us that the host wanted us gone. We booked an emergency hotel, and the next day AirBnB only offered to rebook us in a place with the same cost. Of course, the only place was 60 miles outside the city we were visiting, but they didn't care. I wound up staying in hotels for that trip.

It took two months of badgering support to reimburse us for the AirBnB and the last-minute hotel bookings. The whole time it was clear that Airbnb support's top priority was getting us to leave them alone and trying to keep as much money as possible. What a terrible experience.

I will never use Airbnb in major cities ever again. If anything goes wrong, they are completely uninterested in fixing it.
I like it too. And not even famous people. I think for me, its about seeing different paths ppl take and get pushed into. How they handle things. How they breakdown etc. Lot of patterns repeat and then I see those patterns in me and the ppl around me...
They frequently refer to the bioreactors as fermenters because they are mechanically quite similar which was my point. Also that 25m3 is in comparison to 200-1000m3 vessels used commercially. They also note sufficiently sterilizing a 200m3 vessel is viable, but due to various assumptions about cells used reach 25m3. However their analysis is frequently referring to mammalian cells while chicken is a commonly consumed meat source.

They address one of your criticisms right at the beginning: “The replacement of amino acid media with plant protein hydrolysates is discussed and requires further study.”

It’s a solid analysis in the short term, but optimizing cell lines can significantly change some of these numbers.

I have wondered what locked account actually means in context of the mail and its configuration being "active". E.g. I have setup email forwarding in my Gmail so that I always get a copy at another address. When my account is locked, I know I can't connect to Gmail but what happens to the above "workflow"? Does Gmail stop receiving messages / forwarding rules no longer work?

Yes, New Zealand PR has a lot of rights. Almost as many rights that I have as a British Citizen born outside the UK (my only passport from birth to now).

It's been my dream for the past 10 years to move to New Zealand, and thank God, I was finally granted a Resident visa in May 2021. If you're thinking about moving here though, please don't get your hopes up too high - the application process is very slow and it would've been faster if I'd moved elsewhere. People here have been wonderful, but the government's approach has been hostile to migrants, and I came close to despair several times on the long journey here.

November 2011 - February 2012 Working Holiday visa. Summer job at FPH.

early 2014 - Wanting to return, Skilled Migrant Category visa requires me to get "2 years continuous relevant work experience". Moved to Taiwan (an approved labour market), worked for a microSD manufacturer.

mid-2016 - NZ changes rules to "3 years continuous relevant work experience". Political problems in UK and US cause mass exodus of English-speaking people to NZ, Canada, Australia. Wait times start climbing.

mid-2017 - NZ changes rules to "3 years and a minimum salary of $70k"

mid-2018 - Left Taiwan. Applying for jobs remotely, getting nowhere. Parents supported me to come to NZ and look for a job.

Feb 2019 - Applied for Skilled Migrant Category resident visa.

May 2019 - Left, waited 6 months for temporary work visa to be processed. Working remotely, unpaid, for IoT startup in Auckland. Living in hostels, girlfriend's family in Taiwan, parents in France. Financially supported by parents.

Nov 2019 - Dec 2020 - working in North Shore, actually getting paid! Company already prepared for remote work, thankfully. But not paid every month because the company was running out of money. Began asking around for other jobs.

October 2020 - Case officer assigned to SMC visa application. Hired McVeagh Fleming lawyers to buy me time so I could try to get another job.

January 2021 - Started new job at FPH!

February 2021 - Resident visa approved!

May 2021 - Resident visa issued. After applying, the processing time took 2 years 5 months.

In theory, I could now have a family! My British passport can't be passed on to future kids, but my NZ Resident status should allow children born here to become citizens. However, it is not possible for my girlfriend to join me from Taiwan. It wouldn't help to get married - partnership visas would requires us to live together for over a year (which is obviously not possible these days). Every day my mind wonders whether it's still worth waiting, then every night we chat, and my heart falls in love with her all over again. She's stood firm through so many ups and downs, how could I turn away from that commitment now? She's wonderful, and worth waiting for, even if I never know when or if that day will come.

Bandcamp really is a fantastic company. There are some barriers to listening to music on it directly (some intentional) but I've found so much great music through their recommendations.

I still pay for streaming due to the convenience of typing most songs and playing it instantly... but if I like something enough to click the heart button I'll often hop over to Bandcamp to see if I can pay the artist more than the $.0001 they get for the stream. Even dropping someone a dollar is literally 10,000 times more support.

> but as far as I’m aware (I have many connections amongst the medical and epidemiological communities), the general consensus is that ivermectin does not work.

> For instance, the FDA, WHO, the AMA, the American Pharmacists Association, and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists all say it should not be used outside of clinical trials because there is no good evidence for it

These two statements don't mean the same thing. The stance for the FDA in particular is not "does not work" but is "we don't know (trials are ongoing), so we don't recommend it".
It isn't just big tech. It is that big tech decided to join fully with the rest of the power structure of the country: government, military, military industrial complex, media, law, health, education, etc... Those are the groups that actually run the country.

Now you have censorship by tech instead of just by government, propaganda by tech in addition to media, mandates by corporations and by government.

Before, tech just told government to compel them via law. Now, government works with tech and corporations to achieve governmental aims without writing laws. It is extrajudicial.

I don't think the USA is a democracy or it is less and less of a democracy.
Sorry to hear, I lost my best friend too- her name was Tinkerbell. I still miss her and her love and companionship, but I haven't been able to get another dog. Years on and still feels too raw.

I have not seen filament before. It looks more like a static renderer ... or maybe a renderer of static scenes to me from looking at the github.

Is there a concept of rendering at 30/60 frames per second built in to filament?

The only thing they really mention about antibiotics is that "in the absence of antibiotics,78 a cell-culture bioreactor will readily harbor and be overcome by the contaminating microbe, which proliferate much faster than animal cells"

So, why not just spike the media with penstrep like everyone currently culturing animal cells in the lab for the past three or four decades at least?

There are also other parts of this where it seems like they are comparing technologies in the context of where they are today in the small scale cell culture world (of mililiter amounts) where everything plastic is sold for 100x what it costs Fisher or VWR to make since its government monopoly grant money that is being spent anyhow. If a company wanted to do retention filtering at scale they can do it for much cheaper than what it costs today for researchers working cell culture in academic labs.

>I have no doubt that it can easily extract meaning and intent from text.

Have you met humans? People do not supply complete or self consistent information on what their goals are. They do not form objections to the output of a program based on an accurate and complete model of it either.

Also, they hate to communicate via text - how many times have you heard "ugh, let's discuss it on a call"?

But that does not mean you can BS them endlessly. The fact that people have no idea about the technical details doesn't mean they are going to accept failure.

I don't think we can trust "doctors" anymore.

There were a bunch of doctors (aka America's Frontline Doctors) that were trying to go around and say Ivermectin works. Same with HCQ. The "needle rape" doctor in Idaho said the vaccine is dangerous, but Ivermectin saves lives.

In Idaho, I assure you, doctor's are prescribing patients Ivermectin in the ICU. If it really did work Boise would be the groundswell of Ivermectin miracles, where people are walking out of the ICU, ending the crisis.

Unfortunately, that's not happening. ICU's are primarily being freed up from death now it seems like. ICU's are in the high 90's capacity.

The advantage of notebooks is extremely fast iteration. They are amazing for very fast "trial-and-error". Building software in "real" env has a slightly different use case than notebooks. If you are a data scientist or working with a lot of data, you definitely want to use a notebook over a normal environment.

Imagine you want to read a lot of data from csv file and plot a graph of it. But then you realize that the alpha value used for graph should be 0.3 rather than 0.1. In real env, you would need to read the huge amount of data again. In notebooks, you avoid that!
I can definitely appreciate that. Maybe I should restrict my feelings to the man himself and not his job and his companies.

Agreed, this was one of my first thoughts as well and it’s not discussed at all. Why not just dose with antibiotics? Too expensive? Regulatory issues (seems unlikely as all our livestock are already hopped up)? Consumer groups will balk?

People need the empty time/space/gap (whatever you call it) to do more thinking.

Some people intentionally created more time/space/gap to do more thinking.

Distraction like social media filled that gap too easily compared to thinking.

I’m not sure I understand Braves claim about “sharing revenue” with rewards users. Rewards users are getting paid in BAT no? I assume Brave is getting paid in USD. Do they have an arbitrary treasury of BAT tokens? It seems like Brave isn’t sharing any revenue if they’re paying out in tokens they created. Can’t they just create more BAT tokens or switch to BAT2 whenever they please?

I am genuinely confused here and would love to be enlightened.

Hot upgrades are a powerful and essential feature – when you have hard requirements for it. As you said, hot upgrades aren't simple and introduce a lot of work to get right. I like to tell folks, imagine you are building a pusher.com competitor, so your customers are paying for you to host active connections for their end-users. In this scenario, bouncing hundreds of thousands of connections for a cold deploy is a terrible offering because your clients are paying you or that reliable wire to their user's browser. Hot upgrades makes total sense here. Equally, if you're building a game server in Elixir, you likely don't want to teardown and rebuild your world state and bounce connected players.

So you opt-in to this complexity when you have a clear requirement for it. They other key point in this, is in either hot upgrade or cold deploy cases, you still have to design your stateful system to recover from complete restart. Servers catch on fire and things go bad sometimes, so the cold deploy approach of rebuilding the state on restart is not only completely viable by itself, but you're doing it anyway even with hot upgrades. Hope that helps!

Pathfinding is largely not that bad — hierarchal A* for long distance pathing, flow field for dense agent areas (eg your fort). With sufficient density, it’s worth recalculating the field repeatedly. Partitions can also be used for resource-lookup, threat caching, etc. Brogue’s djikstra maps[0], and Dave Mark’s modular influence maps[1] are very interesting possibilities as well..

Your paper is dealing with a completely different problem — collision avoidance is hard, and you really shouldn’t care about it in a game like DF anyways. Simply treat existing dwarves as a wall, or allow multiple dwarves to be on the same tile momentarily (with a very strong preference to stand on their own tile).

Task assignment is DF/rimworld/etc is also pretty dumb — they’re fairly obviously simple greedy algorithms. you don’t need to be anything close to optimal to be effective. There exists a list of open tasks (place building, move x59 stone, fight baddie. User actions generally corresponds to multiple tasks). When a dwarf is idle, he takes the task-list, merges it with his needs (food, water, self-preservation, etc). Filter this list by permitted activities for the dwarf, prioritize the list (needs first, then by user-defined job priority, then by random roll). Lock any relevant object (eg x59 rocks in a move task) and execute.

As far as I know, there’s no attempt at global coordination in DF beyond simple locks — which I’m not sure are actually that strict. In DF I’m pretty sure two dwarves can go for the same pile of x50 rocks, and it’s simply first one wins. In rimworld it’s quite clear only one entity can hold a claim. DF in that case is much simpler and error-free (don’t need to care about dwarves dying while holding a lock) but rimworld’s would be more consistent and make better progress over time (eg a far away entity doesn’t keep getting screwed trying to grab resources from the base).

Pathfinding is largely a solved problem. Resource allocation doesn’t need to be smart.

I’m fairly positive DF’s biggest hurdles are largely in finding game-sufficient and efficient estimate models for complex processes: planet, fluid, wind (a kind of fluid), plant growth, etc. These models are all fairly well defined (to our gaming needs) by their respective communities, but they’re also far more involved than what we need — we just need to be roughly correct, and ideally have a self-stabilizing sim.

The difficulty of gamedev generally is simplifying the problem to find only what actually matters.

A treatment that is safe but not proven by the FDA to be effective would not be part of the medical system (ie. doctors, insurance, Medicare), just an available and minimally safe product.

People are already "milked" on supplements and herbal remedies (which is at least still regulated to be safe, not necessarily true for a lot of informal quackery out there): people buy a lot of them without FDA approval or a medical prescription in the hopes that it somehow helps them. It's just fine. Rigorous FDA approval has & will always be available for people to use. They're grown adults, let them make that decision.

If people distrust the medical system because products outside the medical system have failed them, well, people are allowed to be stupid.
Google was once my favorite company when it was still run by its founders and genuinely followed the "don't be evil" policy.

Now everything it does has turned into dark patterns. Google's #1 revenue generator Ads (formerly AdWords) now uses dark patterns to trick advertisers into spending more. For example, most of the recommendations make a user's campaign spend more money while not getting results. Many unwary users ignore these recommendations without realizing that Google added a setting that by default is on that automatically implements all of Google's recommendations after 14 days of wait time. These recommendations are implemented without the users consent or even knowledge. Even if a user turns off that setting, the recommendations appear everywhere throughout the interface with enticing "Apply All" buttons that are easily clicked on accidentally.

What a total nightmare of evil Google has become.
Please note that at the same time in Oregon you can eat and drink inside restaurants with no restrictions on capacity or vaccination status. Just wear a mask when not eating or drinking.

Nothing about this spike after implementation is surprising. This was just the last switch left to pull that wouldn't interfere with commerce.

This headline is designed to imply that this policy somehow made things worse. It didn't. There were just no policy choices left that wouldn't have cost real money or required proof of vaccination.

Fortunately a number of events, even outdoor ones, are now requiring proof of vaccination Those rules are not coming from the state but the private companies.

You also have to adjust for population ages. Age is the primary risk factor. Some states like Florida have a much higher elderly population so more deaths are expected.
