I wonder if the ARM-powered Lambdas have a different vCPU scaling. Supposedly, you get between 2-6 vCPUs for x86-64 Lambdas, depending on how much memory you configure for the Lambda.

But, the x86-64 vCPU is not a "real core". It's a hyperthread (SMT), or 1/2 a core. So I'm curious if the scale is still 2-6 vCPUs for Graviton, where a vCPU == A real core...since there's no SMT on Graviton.

But if vaccines are refused, doesn’t that meant they didn’t consider the virus last year a big risk? Not even flu level risk, they consider it a common cold type risk?

They can’t have it both ways, if they want to be taken seriously they can’t play up the risk they put themselves in due to a virus they don’t believe is risky enough to warrant a free fda approved vaccine that prevents the risk. This how they appear to be treating it. That is not logically consistent.

On the other hand, the hospitals consider the virus risky and want people vaccinated or not exposed, so it’s logically consistent to not allow their workers to take unnecessary risks.

Edit: The “I know that’s true and have no reply but I can’t acknowledge that fact so I’m downvoting” type downvotes show a point well made. Got to cancel it lest other people read it!
Working on an internal AWS app today.

Joked about using graviton.

Now this happened. I’m pretty sure I’m Rasputin.
> IMO no, it's never a good idea.

I thought so in the past.

But I have learned to be open about this and so far it seems managers appreciate it. It helps plan the transition better and prioritize closing projects.

I made friends this way.
From folks I know at AWS, services are all being heavily pushed to use Graviton to run their services, to the point of having to justify why they couldn't. The cost savings internally are just as significant.
I'm a lead software engineer on a polyglot team that requires broad knowledge and in-depth knowledge on distributed computing.

If I can give any advice to engineering managers when someone quits: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. The last three people that have left my team are people I know personally. Hearing an engineering manager berate and degrade someone who I have been through incidents, significant refactors, mentoring, debates, and late night delivery with is a new experience entirely. The first time it happened I had to talk the engineering manager down from making someone a non-rehire, the second time I didn't even bother. My judgement of them was fully passed on to the company and the leaders above this engineering manager that gave them accolades and excuses.

Most of the time when I leave a team it's because something either in the management chain like a process or a manager themselves failed me on such a deep level that the hope that gets me out of my bed that says, "We'll do something great today!" has departed me. This post reads to me like that is inevitable, but it is not. If you listen, ask questions without assumptions or judgements, and act as an enabler instead of a Lord or Lady then you'll strike long careers out of engineers. They may leave out of better bonuses or incentives, but they at least won't leave because of you, and one takes a substantial more amount enticing than the other.

Big GDP nation states have teams harvesting 0-days around the clock and can go above the law to insider negotiate or bruteforce backdoors for this 'always on' functionality I'd imagine (what company can say no to the highest levels of government interference?), regardless of if it is offered to the public or not as a new 'feature' for their benefit.
And for those people, you can turn that setting off. It even warns you about it on the power off screen. If you don't trust the setting to actually turn off, then you shouldn't trust anything about the phone and should smash it up with a hammer.
Hence we need censorship to keep the uncomfortable facts hidden and keep the narrative safe.
I saw a similar video in junior high and thought it was ridiculous. Then in high school I knew a girl who was raped by several guys at a party who gave her weed laced with something that made her pass out. I don't know if I would have considered it a lazy argument if that girl had told her story when I was 13. There was just something hamfisted and out of touch about those DARE videos.
Presuming the active tab is flat white either way; what's the difference in legibility between the inactive tabs being gradiented white-to-grey (the XP Windows controls style) vs. inactive tabs just being flat grey (the "modern UI" e.g. Google Chrome style)?

I would note that Windows XP also had a high-contrast theme; and that, when enabled, inactive tabs actually lose the distinction in background color from active tabs. But they keep the highlight stripe.
The Grosse Fuge (German spelling: Große Fuge, also known in English as the Great Fugue or Grand Fugue), Op. 133, is a single-movement composition for string quartet by Ludwig van Beethoven. An immense double fugue, it was universally condemned by contemporary music critics. A reviewer writing for the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung in 1826 described the fugue as "incomprehensible, like Chinese" and "a confusion of Babel".
> Agreed; if you’ve accepted a job offer, reneging on that deal because your current employer made you a better offer isn’t a great look. It’ll be remembered by the hiring company and the individual who made the offer, and that can follow you around for a long time, making future job searches a lot harder.

I disagree. I've personally hired people who previously did this exact back and forth dance of getting an offer, then rejecting it because their current employer made them a better off. If a company is petty enough to hold it against you when you act in your best interests, you probably don't want to work there.
I'm still using win10/WSL1 with microsoft terminal, I've totally dumped cygwin now. youtube-dl, ssh tunnels, irc, ncdu, ffmpeg to recompress files.

I still have virtualbox running a ton of OS's with the oracle virtualbox extension, that doesn't work with hyper-v, so no wsl2 for me.

Maybe in the the future.
From heroes to zeroes in less than a year.

Even though many of them got Covid while being heroes and acquired natural immunity, which is more protective than the vaccine alone, they are now fired and shamed and discarded. Without unemployment for not complying with an unnecessary requirement. Again, those with natural immunity, who are now fired, are more protected than those with the vaccine alone. Many who complied felt forced and bullied into it. Let that all sink in and imagine yourself in these positions. This is a form of cruel and unusual punishment.
> People who have to present a single number to summarize an entire body of scientific research for the general public always have to make a decision about how conservative of an estimate to give

You expect those people to make their estimate based on the scientific research, not based on what he thinks the people are "ready to hear".

He literally said that the motivation for saying 80, 85 was the fact that a poll showing how many people had already been convinced to take it.

It's just a fact - he was selling the vaccine. I'm not alleging a conspiracy, or shady financial motives. I'm not saying the vaccine is bad, because I think it's amazing. But Fauci gave numerical estimates that he did not believe to be accurate, for PR reasons.
Embraer 190 is my favorite short haul. As you indicated the seat pitch and airiness feels much more comfortable than a packed a320 or 737
Oh you're absolutely correct about that. Jobs in particular needs to be scrutinized.

But if that was the point of the article a few paragraphs under the section "History of switching power supplies to 1977" already accomplished that.

The article reads like it was written by a power supply enthusiast (who knew?), and the author did a good job of drawing me into the history, technology. It would have still been an interesting read without the "bookends".
> But eventually, someone needs to do the work to convince people "science is trustworthy."

Yes, and science as an institution has been failing pretty badly at that. I posted this on HN just last week, but it's worth repeating:

1. Science journalism is almost universally terrible, so people already get sold half truths and sometimes even outright falsehoods from allegedly reputable sources. Messaging needs dramatic improvement.

2. The replication crisis has shown that up to 50% of published results in medicine can't be replicated (and up to 66% in social sciences), and there are virtually no incentives to replicate or publish negative results, and too many incentives to data mine/p-hack and publish sensationalized results (in fact, results that fail replication get cited more). There are now some efforts towards correcting this, but it's only just beginning.

I think there's another part that is also underappreciated, which is that the honesty of the public faces of science should be above reproach, and if someone in public facing positions lose their credibility by violating public trust, they should no longer be the public face.

The best recent example is Dr. Fauci. He has openly admitted to lying to the public on multiple occasions, such as whether the public should wear masks and about vaccination levels for herd immunity. It doesn't matter whether you think he did the right thing in those cases, he has unquestionably violated public trust and eroded trust in science as a result.
I read this in context of another sentence:

"And for those that care, a burst of contributions.
You seemed to have confused me with someone that is opposed to the vaccination. I have been fully vaccinated for months.

Most people do confuse my positions because I disagree with both sides. I am one of the unorthodox Vaccinated Ant-Vaxxer's that believes people should get vaccinated but I also respect individual liberty to allow them the choose to no inject themselves with a medical treatment if they do not desire it. Since I oppose government mandates then I must be "Anti-Vaxx".....

Crazy I know, to respect peoples body autonomy in 2021 during a pandemic no less......

I also have a high degree bullshit detector, and can not stand hypocrisy which I see ALOT of logical hypocrisy around covid.

>>do what you can to lower the replication rate of this stupid virus below 1 so that it goes away. That last part is proving really hard so far.

it is not "proving hard" it was always impossible and anyone to tell you otherwise is lying. SARS-COVID-V2 is endemic, and will likely settle out with annual deaths being over that of seasonal flu. This idea that we can "beat" COVID like we have beat other things like polio is just wrong.
Why did Pfizer data for their COVID-19 vaccine not report the injury and paralysis of a 12-year-old participant in the clinical trial? From a June 2021 article by Robert Kennedy's CHD non-profit org, https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/sen-johnson-ken-...

> Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) held a news conference Monday to discuss adverse reactions related to the COVID vaccines — giving individuals who have been “repeatedly ignored” by the medical community a platform to share their stories ... Among them was Maddie de Garay from Ohio who volunteered for the Pfizer vaccine trial when she was 12. On Jan. 20, Maddie received her second dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine as a participant in the clinical trial for 12- to 15-year-olds and is now in a wheelchair ... “Why is she not back to normal? She was totally fine before this,” said Stephanie de Garay, Maddie’s mother. She volunteered for the Pfizer vaccine trial “to help everyone else and they’re not helping here. Before Maddie got her final dose of the vaccine she was healthy, got straight As, had lots of friends and had a life.”

> ... Upon receiving the second shot, Maddie immediately felt pain at the injection site and over the next 24-hours developed severe abdominal and chest pain, de Garay said at the press event. Maddie told her mother it felt like her heart was being ripped out through her neck, and she had painful electrical shocks down her neck and spine that forced her to walk hunched over ... She developed gastroparesis, nausea and vomiting, erratic blood pressure, memory loss, brain fog, headaches, dizziness, fainting, seizures, verbal and motor tics, menstrual cycle issues, lost feeling from the waist down, lost bowel and bladder control and had an nasogastric tube placed because she lost her ability to eat.

> ... Johnson argued that while most people don’t suffer significant side effects following vaccination, he is concerned about “that small minority that are suffering severe symptoms.”

The more we know about the statistical minority who suffer severe adverse reactions, the better we can screen vaccine recipients to avoid unusual but life-altering injuries.
> and also serves as an aspirational target for public policy

There we go. He was giving aspirational targets, not scientific evaluations.

Sounds like he had a good reason to stretch the truth, but the fact remains.
> sometimes he was just a...

Why qualify it with "sometimes"? I think it's safe to assume that the way a person behaves in private, among their peers, shows more about their essential character than how they behave when doing public relations.

The Schmidt and Jobs on display in the email are the essential Schmidt and Jobs. The admirable qualities are the stage show.
It's important to know what is meant by "surgical" masks. Some of these have an electrostatically blown fiber inner layer which is an electret. Although the fit is not as good as an N95 respirator, the basic filter is comparable to an N95 or at least a KN95. The typical "procedure" mask that civilians wear doesn't have that yet.
Indeed! I term it the 'Cardinality Barrier'.

It is gratifying to know that the mathematician Georg Cantor demolished AI some hundred odd years before any engineer had thought seriously of it.
What is precisely correct? GP made multiple claims.
> If you want to work hard and become rich, that's your spot.

Maybe, maybe not. I'd argue there are far more who tried and failed than who succeeded, but I don't know if that ratio of success is better or worse than in other countries today (yes, today - not when the US economy was booming relative to other countries, or when immigration was easy, or in the early days of Silicon Valley, or back during the Gold Rush(es) etc).

In any case, though, I would argue this argument applies to a narrow slice of the population, namely those whose main goal is to get rich. Not everybody wants to "work hard and become rich". Not everybody wants life to be a competition to get ahead. Plenty of people are not deeply invested in a career and simply want to work 40h/week for a decent salary and still be able to afford a decent life.

Others feel a calling to a profession that will generally not make you rich, but is still valuable to society. Case in point: teachers. Extremely valuable to society and extremely badly compensated in the US. If I wanted to be a teacher, I'd much rather be in most European countries than in the US.
What part of what I wrote made you think my comment had to do with blaming the officer. It's a serious question, I notice people almost never understand my comments and I'd rather that wasn't the case. I'm saying police budgets should be cut if this is how they use their people, and it surprises me that there is no feedback that actually causes these cuts despite evidence that officers are wasting their time on things like in this article.
Seems like you owned yourself. By your own statement "But you can't prove this because we can't go back in time and run to separate Earths". Right now in the US, we don't have an answer to either question because of people that are unable to interpret the facts.

AstraZeneca is selling their vaccine at cost. Plenty of vaccines have been required for activities in the past, I had to provide proof of vaccination for both public school and college for my children. The real power/money grab is by all the folks blasting out this misinformation. I didn't pay a dime for my vaccine, it was provided at cost by Moderna to the organization, who distributed it for free to the public.

You realize don't you that Tucker Carlson and all the Youtubers get paid based on how much they get viewed, right? That's the money grab you're looking for...
The default docker runtime does not run the containers in a VM but instead on top of the host kernel using namespaces. In this case the kernel which the container utilizes is the same kernel running the rest of the system. The container is limited by the CPU architecture and configuration of the underlying kernel.

If your container runtime uses an emulator (say QEMU) you are able to run containers which do not match the host system, albeit at a slower speed than running the container using a matching architecture and namespaces.
This is incorrect. I encourage everyone to get vaccinated if they can, but there is no reliable evidence that this reduces R(eff) below 1.

> because I've realized our business model isn't what I thought it was when I joined, and that engineering really is a cost center past a certain baseline, which explains the utterly mediocre equipment/procedures ...

This is a good point. I am seeing about same thing at work. Over obsession with Agile processes, tracking hours, third rate light duty computers, rigid working hours and so on. Many good engineers have already left instead banging head against "process" wall. And funnily today managers saying on call that they are finding difficult to hire and people are leaving left and right.
You do not owe your employer loyalty. The only thing you owe your employer is an honest day's work for a day's pay. That's it.

Looks at the web.

As Linus Torvalds put it, it's worth writing the whole thing in C for no other reason than to prevent those 'developers' from 'contributing' to it.
I've never heard the claim that apple revolutionized computer power supplies.

I've heard the claim they make decent ones.
The thing to keep in mind is that when we say "the other side", we just mean people who don't intend to get vaccinated.

This hides the fact that there is no actual "side" in the sense of a unified group of people who collectively agree to a set of principles, and goalposts that can even be moved. It's just a bunch of people who have their own brains, and reasons. They aren't all the same, or believe the same things, or make the same claims.

This is trivially obvious, but I see it ignored most of the time. People get accused of things they don't actually believe, and didn't say, or do. That makes them defensive and makes it impossible to have a good-faith discussion, and that's part of the mess we're in.
It was a little hard to follow but I thought it had a lot more charm than a lot of sites I see.
I don't know if this statement is true or not. But let's assume it is: what does it matter to the Swiss people enjoying a good life?
I’d say these are pretty classic stages of grief. We instinctively go into bargaining mode even when we know we’ve already lost.
Where I live, the banks talk to each other to make sure that they're paying roughly the same for a given type of position. Every time I or others complained about our perceived low pay, they said that they don't give cost of living increases and that they compare with their peers and that they are not out-of-line with what the other banks are doing.

Well you know.. this kind of collusion is called price fixing.
I don't see any credentials mentioned in your profile, which means we're all random guys on the internet :)

With reference to the article, it builds on top of authoritative articles (see References section at the bottom), so you don't have to take anything at face value!

You're right, I am indeed saying that verifiability is intrinsically related to purity. The concept of pure functions is at the core of FP. You take that core away and you no longer have the right to call your code FP.

Why is it important to label something as FP in any case? React is useful even if it is not functional. What I am opposed to is misappropriating the "FP" label for marketing purposes, by the React team.
There have been at least 2 cuda implementations of WRF ARW afaik, and it seems they are not widely recommended because of numerical differences from the reference implementation. However having run ARW a lot, I would definitely not do it again on CPU.
It's just another barrier. With enough hassle, people will move to stealing other easier things. When find my was released, phone theft went down massively. Not every criminal wants to make the jump from just grabbing a phone off the table, to having an RF blocking bag, transporting to an RF proof room, and then pulling the phone to bits to sell for pennies since the parts don't work properly when swapped in to another phone.
Nanbox: Encode non-numerical data as NaNs
you are using double-speak to avoid agreeing with the clear sense of what I'm saying. Just come out and say, "these vaccines themselves posed an unusually high risk to the people receiving them; we just thought it was worthwhile because of the threat the virus posed"

It's not like I'm trying to get you to admit something else that's true, that "there are actually benefits to study in in having a portion of the population unvaccinated, since we don't actually know the long term effects of either the virus, natural immunity, or the vaccines"
Don't feel bad, I was also lured by their slick marketing. Wow it can play Quake 3 with its "swanky graphics" and is like a pentium 2 and can do 1080p playback on the first gen one!
All great artists directly copy ideas. That is exactly what the statement implies. The point is that your own style will manifest as a mishmash of other people's ideas and this itself will constitute a new style. New ideas are just combinations of old ideas
