I had a condition that was misdiagnosed repeatedly, including in the ER. My condition is not even "rare", just slightly uncommon, and I had a very textbook case of it.

Your doctor is not an oracle. They are a car mechanic that works on organics.

That's not actually true for EVs, they pay off pretty quickly depending on how green electricity is at whatever place.

(I guess you know that since you said 'almost', I just wanted to point it out to others.)
In the past 2 years, Sony has been cannibalizing the PS4 with the PS5.

Nintendo is the only major player in the handheld category: of course they're a "leader". The success of the Switch supports my prior point: it's a warmed-over Nvidia Shield that has very mediocre hardware (Tegra X1 - Maxwell arch), but has amazing first-party games on it. BoTW is one of the best games I have played.

Brain size is a bit of a red herring. Elephants have 3X the brain mass compared to humans.
Though no dummies, but still.

When we think of brain and size, we naturally think of the connection to the intellect. But intellectual activities require patient and slow application of the brain, using external tools like making notes, drawing diagrams and checking one's work for mistakes.

Intellectual pursuits are not actually what the brain is good at. If we make an analogy to computing, it's almost like the intellect is a software layer that is bootstrapped on top of the brain in spite of its shortcomings, using some slow, inefficient scripting language. It's not native to the brain.

An example of what the brain is natively good at is real-time visual processing and control, like navigating in a complex environment full of obstacles and dangers. You don't have to concentrate your intellect for minutes at a time to tell apart a shape from the background; you just point your eyes at it and it pops out at you instantly and effortlessly, thanks to a power in the brain that you can't even control consciously. (Try as you might, you can't not see the shape.)

This is probably why domestication shrinks brains. Perhaps you don't need that much real-time processing in the relatively stable, calm, boring domestic environment.
It should be noted that using hydrogen for steel or fuel production lead almost directly leads to some kind of hydrogen storage. If you can make that much hydrogen, it just becomes a natural step to use it as a energy storage system.

Also, the scale of hydrogen storage facilities far exceeds anything else ever proposed: https://www.pv-magazine-australia.com/2021/10/23/weekend-rea...

It's clear that obsessing over the last step is unnecessary. As soon as you have the hydrogen available, there will be many obvious solutions available.
There was a study earlier this year which had the opposite findings [1]. This study addressed the discrepancy:

> these findings differ from those of a retrospective records-based cohort study in Israel, which did not find higher protection for vaccinated adults compared with those with previous infection during a period of Delta variant circulation. This variation is possibly related to differences in the outcome of interest and restrictions on the timing of vaccination. The Israeli cohort study assessed any positive SARS-CoV-2 test result, whereas this study examined laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 among hospitalized patients. The Israeli cohort study also only examined vaccinations that had occurred 6 months earlier, so the benefit of more recent vaccination was not examined. This report focused on the early protection from infection-induced and vaccine-induced immunity, though it is possible that estimates could be affected by time.

Given that Steven Wolfram wants to model the entire universe as a computation, the idea that one would need to refute the idea that one could form a computational model of cognition seems a little silly. You can build a computational model of more or less anything at this point, and "this is not computational" is a red herring.

The question, as other commenters have pointed out, is not whether cognition IS computation, but whether or not a computational model of cognition is the best way to understand it.
"But an inconsiderate truck driver leaving behind a shit explosion on the toilet and floor without cleaning it up is treating the office workers as subhuman. It's a different circumstance."

You're putting the blame solely on the truck driver -- perhaps he couldn't afford or was unable to be considerate -- and not the fucked up situation we've built regarding what should be considered a basic human right (easy access to sanitation). Tantrums are bound to happen. Some people smear shit onto walls I'm not saying they're ok. It doesn't change the fact that everyone deserves access to a toilet and clean water, and some of our fellow citizens aren't getting it.

I specifically take issue with the number of bad assumptions you are baking into your argument.

It's degrading for an office worker to clean up someone else's shit, _unless_ that's the job they've signed up for and they're cool with it. I imagine few offices actually pay their facilities staff well enough to deal with shitsmearing, but as I said -- that's where the actual degredation comes from. shit jobs should give stellar pay, but we don't value things like that around here.
As a counteranecdote to many on this thread, I have also never seen hate content on any platform except TikTok.

Only on Tiktok have I seen teen girls dancing along to clearly white supremacist content about racial superiority.
What study did they admit to lying about?
You're spot on. One thing we're doing to deal with the long tail of integrations is opening up an API to customers.

We're also considering open sourcing that part of the product, but haven't made a firm decision on that yet. Would love to chat if you're open to it. We're definitely looking for people in product. Feel free to send me an email to etai@secoda.co
They don't specify.

They looked at hospitalized cases only.

Chances are they are almost all elderly, who are 90+% vaccinated anyway.

No specific mention of very low-risk groups such as children 5-11 (which are THE lowest-risk group), and no mention of the risk-benefit tradeoff related to adverse events.

Rather, we find a blanket "everyone should get vaccinated" normative statement clouding an otherwise interesting study.
Devices connect ground first because if there's a fault when something else connects, they want to be able to send the power to ground.

I think his plan was the opposite: to avoid having a path to ground, in the case his body was part of that path.
Yeah strongly agree there.
Just installed OpenBSD 7.0 on Raspberry Pi 3b+ for testing purposes. Latest version supports and work with all devices out of the box including WiFi. It required to install brcm firmware manually with pkg_add though. The rest was smooth.
Hopefully they reevaluate that, since they already have coal shortages for the coal plants they already have.

I think it's a bit naive to think it's either that or nothing. As long as they can develop new high quality VR experiences with high adoption, they would succeed. I don't think they even know what they will end up with in 5-10 years. It's a big and expensive experiment with non insignificant chance of success in my opinion.
I don't remember I've ever had that, although I've moved out or Europe a year ago.

I guess I would consider that an opinion --though of course rationally it makes sense-- without evidence that the UK officials who agreed to the treaty were intimidated into signing it due to a fear of violence (actual or financial or...) towards the UK from the US. My opinion is that the sort of people who signed the 2003 treaty were not particularly concerned about preserving civil rights for British citizens, and the 2003 treaty did normalize evidentiary standards between the two countries that had been lopsided in the UK's favor since 1870.

> but because language tends to lose all its excess features as it gets spoken and a LOT of people speak English.

Citation needed - this sounds like pop linguistics without a scientific basis, to be honest.

English has plenty of “features”; what it lacks in morphology it makes up for in very complicated syntax. And it lost those morphological features well before the British colonial period, so it’s not really true that more people spoke it than, say, the Slavic languages which haven’t lost them.
Yes, but we're talking origin of life.

Covid is not going away. Get your vaccine and move on with your life. In another year nobody will even remember the damn thing (at least for most places… some don’t seem to want to let this go).

Designing buildings around 1.5 years of isolation because of covid is silly. We will never react to a future pandemic this way again. History will consider this whole mess as one of the most disastrous public health policies ever created and people trying it again will be laughed out of the room.

That being said… designing rooms with no windows is just awful. Bathrooms and stuff, sure. But primary living spaces like bedrooms or living rooms? That is a ticket for depression!

It tells us that novel authors are mostly broke. I might be biased growing up with French classics, but practically every one of them writes in a way in which the love/hate relationship with the well-off makes it obvious they come from modest means.

They all keep announcing AR features for their devices and operating systems, even though those are very niche except as a "gee isn't that nifty" demo on current hardware—anyone who's held a phone or tablet or Gameboy or whatever up to interact with these things can attest it's pretty terrible overall UX, even if it's really cool as a demo. Glasses fix that problem. I assume the reason companies are continuing development of those capabilities is that they're pretty sure AR glasses aren't too far off. Seems like a much more tractable problem than self-driving, anyway—mostly a waiting game for battery and display/input tech to hit just the right spot and for someone to package it just right, like smartphones were.
If you use a tool that allows you "execute editor" and "execute selection", you might just have selected the update part without the where, or accidentally press return so it executes as two separate statements.

Meta put simply is a digital version of human culture and society. There is good and evil.

I am not sure they can keep the evil from spreading. How can they contains it without blocking large amounts of users.

I see the platform as a dark forest where there is no path toward profit unless they allow evil content to be spread widely and therefore allow more adds to be seen by more people.
Not a study, but they admitted to lying. They lied about masks. They lied about what percentage of people need to be vaccinated for herd immunity. I'm sure there's more.
"Gender" as a concept came in linguistics first[0]. Social sciences co-opted the word later in the 1950s (Simone de Beauvoir comes to mind as one of the first people to use "gender" in its modern sense). The linguistics notion of gender is not tied to masculine or feminine (though they are taught thus). We now associate the word "gender" with its modern political meaning but in the past, the word "gender" was treated the way you'd use "noun class"

[0]: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=gender&year_st...
> I dislike the term "gender" in linguistics. Many languages have grammatical gender that has nothing to do with masculine/feminine.

You realize that the use of gender for grammatical noun class is the original meaning of the word, correct? Gender comes from the Latin genus, generis (via Old French), which means type, kind, sort. The genders in Latin were called masculine, feminine, and neuter because one of the noun classes contained most, but not all of the nouns that refer to males, one of them contain the nouns that refer to females, and the last one, neuter, literally means neither.

If anything, it's English that is to blame here for taking the original meaning and corrupting it. I believe most non-english languages, when they want to use the modern English sense of gender, either borrow the word directly from English or just use a translation of sex role.

Fun fact - Mach is the Mach 3 in razor blades, among other places (obscure things like units of measurement).
It really is a whole new class of software I think - trustless software that is also "open source" and holds billions of dollars of value is the sort of thing where formal proofiness starts to look reasonable.
I saw quite a significant performance and resource usage benefit from migrating away from a virtualized kubernetes environment to bare metal debian, so their findings align well with my anecdata as well.
You are not a student at this school.

Where I went to school we got lots of strong opinions from outsiders. But some of the "worst" dorms were the most popular for reasons that are not always obvious to outsiders.

And yes, some students like to live close to others. UCSB may be doing double and triple bunking in rooms (my school did 4 to a room for a while, when the "crappy" new space opened it was first choice in the housing lottery).

Folks talking about sharing a bathroom meaning that people will be pooping out of windows are idiots who either went to some elite school where you are waited on by butlers. It would not be uncommon for a hall with 15 rooms to have two bathrooms.

Other things that offended folks that students gave no craps about. We had some coed bathrooms, was never an issue. I'm sure now they are called gender neutral.
I always retreated to the library when I needed peace and quiet. Also, these dorms have a mini common area shared between 8 dorms.
I hope society improves to the point that we are comfortable just being around each other IRL, instead of needing to escape to a simulated world in our _sonas.
> This comes into the forced language changes like "LatinX". On paper, changes like this are fine, but in use they only wok on paper. In use they still have to be identified as "Soy un LatinX" or "Soy una LatinX" (sorry if my Spanish is a little rusty)

Not really. “Latinx/Latin(x)/LatinX”, in both English and Spanish (though it seems to be used less in Spanish, even by people who use it in English [0]) is usually, perhaps exclusively, used as an adjective, not a noun.

[0] e.g., I’ve see groups use things like “Soy Yo Latino / I Am LatinX”.
It's a small number. But it does happen.

You don't want the interest of 445 million people, most of whom will consent to tracking? OK with me.

my kids like the games and the ones they play have things to do:

brookhaven: A neighborhood with houses you can place down and "own", cars, various items. etc. They run around making up scenarios and then acting them out

natural disasters: Small maps and rounds where various disasters happen and you have to survive (lightning, tornadoes, etc)

fashion famous: everyone dresses up according to the theme for the round and then everyone picks a winner

And there are a lot of shit games but they get bored of these quickly.
Right. Easiest maybe, certainly not only.
>There was a study earlier this year which had the opposite findings [1]. This study addressed the discrepancy

They did address the one study from Israel. They did not address the nearly 20 other studies also done which share its conclusion that natural immunity is at least as powerful as a jab.
They have changed their company name and the focus. It's a very big gamble. I for one won't be investing in vaporware.
> 94 percent of whom would not have windows in their small, single-occupancy bedrooms.

I've lived until relatively recently (~5 years) in a communist-built, collective-housing unit which had hundreds of studios, if not more (I was unit number 700-something), and even there an access to windows (for the actual room and for the kitchen) plus a small balcony were taken as a given, any other option would have looked like prison.

Also, I'm pretty sure the studio-apartment potentially not having an window would have broken even the communist-era building regulations, how does the building from the article pass those regulation, are they really that lax when it comes to access to windows?
I'm hardly a crypto-stan, but I get tired of the same recycled complaints.

There's a move towards PoS, crypto is not synonymous with PoW.

You'll be displeased to know that scams occur with fiat as well as crypto.
Thanks for sharing that!

It is really interesting to see strategies from "shutting down all nuclear and building ~ 350 GW of solar and wind and 26 GW of storage" to "still build a lot of renewables but also 27 GW of new nuclear and no storage".

This seems one of the very few times I've seen the storage taken into account.
That seems like a false choice

Designing 100 year buildings around our current hysterical reaction to covid is just silly. Covid is over, time to move on.

History will harshly judge our reaction to covid and we will hopefully never repeat this awful public health policy again. The idea that we should be designing building with covid in mind is just a symptom of how much parts of society has lost the plot.

I will always be amazed at how many people can type “because this group is a minority, meeting their needs is unimportant and shouldn't impact the majority” and think they've contributed a novel thought. Your elephant in the room is just basic everyday ableism. You can't even stomach a link being underlined for someone else's benefit lol.
I'm with you on this. I was an original backer of the Oculus on Kickstarter, and it's just mindblowing to see how far it's come to the Quest 2.

And while the original Oculus shows you what promise there is from a hacker in the garage, the Quest 2 shows you what can be done when significant capital is invested in development.

I bought a Quest for my little brother across the country, and hanging out in VR is pretty cool. I can definitely believe there's something here. I don't know if Meta will actually end up being the platform in the future, but I certainly think there will be a platform, it will be good in a lot of ways, and because of this frankly audacious move by Meta we'll be getting there sooner.
I don't quite understand. The 'bare-metal' webservers returned 128 byte responses, but the Kubernetes version returned 1KB responses
How about turning Value into MemoryCell and handling references outside of it?
yep, it definitely comes from that situation as well. No dispute here. Many times the mess will be from an asshole, yeah. But not all times, and when you start making assumptions like that... I was raised to think that you're the asshole.

There will always be the need for some people to clean up after others, and that in and of itself isn't degrading.

I take offense to people who make assumptions that just because you have to empty bedpans then your job is unworthy or degrading. When well compensated that sort of work is just as worthy as the bullshit us dipshits toil at.
The gaming should get at least somewhat better. Most games available on Mac today are x86 ports. New ports will start targeting arm instead, and that’ll be a help.

But ultimately the Mac will never be a first-class platform for most game devs.
