Thanks for the updated link. What I read is: "Ivermectin has few unwanted effects."

I don't think (and you also seem to imply) that any of the studies conducted for Covid were using much higher doses than the standard. On the contrary, this was precisely the point of clinical studies: to determine whether a standard dose of ivermectin (with known and limited side effects) would provide benefits, even though it is lower than the dose at which ivermectin was initially shown to have antiviral properties in vitro.
Thousand Yard Stare
Honestly I have yet to see a language really nail async. For instance much attention has been given to async rust, but in my experience it is 100x more difficult to work with async than standard synchronous rust. So many gotchas, and the errors are extremely cryptic which is counter to what you expect in normal rust.

I found working with GCD was actually pretty good: of course it doesn't solve the safety concerns which rust aims to, but it's a sensible set of primitives which can be composed to achieve virtually whatever async problem you want.

I think there are two possibilities:

1. We haven't really landed on the right abstraction for async yet. Current approaches try to hide the wrong bits of complexity and this makes async difficult to reason about, or at least makes it a bit of a minefield of special cases and considerations.

2. Or, async programming is just complex, and there's never going to be a way to tie it up as a neat little consistent language feature.
The company would have to be fairly large (>100 employees) and long-lived (>10 years) to generate an amount of data with any hope of statistical significance. Employee "success" depends on many factors, and an employee who can seem to be a failure in the short-term may end up becoming very successful (or vice-versa), simply because of external circumstances---the nature of the projects, the clients, colleagues, etc.

No matter how many type hints you put in your python code, haskell type system is on another level altogether.
I honestly believe every developer should get to experience writing some haskell code at some point in their lifes to really understand what I'm talking about.

>What kind of argument is that?

An argument based on human history and the progress of human rights?

Precisely the same argument used time and time again against the thought leaders of human rights.

True, yes.

I actually meant: as one of the primary caregivers, you will be very busy and very drained emotionally. Accept help if offered.

The examples above would have been useful to me, if only to spare some energy for getting through the week.

It was also very draining on me to have people come around to talk about things and "support" us (actually the reverse in many cases), so I would also try to avoid these favours becoming social events. That's what would work for me, anyway.
Thankyou, that was a very list.
Choosing treatment is a very personal thing. My father chose to stop his chemo treatments and it improved his standard of living dramatically. (he's still fighting cancer) A friend of mine (a nurse) said she'd never torture her self like she's seen so many people do with some treatments. (She died of cancer a few years ago)

Sometimes other's people's advice isn't based on what is best for you, but on an aggregate across many people, and you could be on the bad side of percentages.
Sure, this is possible but based on her experience she should already be good at navigating in male dominated auto environments based on her career. The lack of details and the cynic in me tells me that if she was at-will and was fired the only way she can sue is by claiming title VII discrimination. Timing wise it also helps that they have the IPO looming. I'd love to read the actual case filing but I can't find it. If she's right I hope she wins but based on the article I am highly skeptical.
> Does anyone have a sense as to when US society will completely eliminate COVID measures?

Children are now eligible for a vaccine. It'll take a few weeks for this to trickle through the population, but we're pretty close to the point where everyone who wants a vaccination will have one.

At that point, I expect restrictions to swiftly ease up. In Massachusetts, things are already mostly back to normal. With children protected, there's definitely a light at the end of the tunnel.
In the current climate of censoring “misinformation”, astrology and its ilk should have been the first to go. Propagating superstitions and encouraging magical thinking is, if anything is, a destructive force on critical thinking.

>The US was in Vietnam? It sure was, trying to protect the South from a conquering North

Sorry but you are dead wrong about the Ukraine, and especially about Vietnam, the US feared the rise of Communism and by that loosing control over Vietnam.
I did a project for a major financial company everyone on HN has heard of. I used async python with just a crazy amount of data coming in mostly all at once (think end of market) and then had to pipe it to different places with a huge emphasis on prioritization.

It worked really, really, really well.

I'm not saying I'd rather use Async over web workers, but when you have the right task for this tool and you architect the solution around it intelligently it really does shine.
Why use sniffers when all you need is to get people to download some app on their phone that allows access to the bluetooth stack and then phone home the results?

> The alternative is fully public funded research.

So then you agree with me completely that these companies would have existed and would have researched the covid vaccine, because literally as I just said before, the government offered a bunch of money for it, which is "public funded research".

Glad you agree with me entirely, but I guess also just wanted to restate my argument slightly, for no reason.
Using the plasma's pressure on the containing magnetic field to induce a current (rather than heating water in order to use steam to run a turbine, as is currently what we do with fission) is pretty damn clever, and might lead to smaller reactors and lower costs - I really hope this works out.

I'm curious though, what happens to the plasma before the next pulse - in the animations it neatly dissipates, but I doubt it's that simple.

The big issue with other fusion reactor designs is how to make sure this incredibly hot plasma doesn't touch and melt any part of the reactor. Current designs try to "levitate" and contain the plasma with a magnetic field, but it's really, really difficult to successfully contain something as energetic and chaotic as plasma. I'm guessing part of the point of the pulses here is to answer the problem of "we can't contain it for long" with "we don't have to".
That would imply the computer we are simulated on is isomorphic to the 3D universe it is simulating, i.e. that if A and B are close in the simulation, the storage for A and B are physically close in the simulator, and that the storage moves as the objects move. Otherwise the speed of light would vary from a place to another.
South Carolina has had a pretty high number of cases since mid year [1]. Higher than the late 2020/early 2021 surge which was before vaccination.

It hasn't been doing all that great on death rates, either [2]. A bit worse than the Southern average, and quite a bit worse than the other regions of the US.

South Carolina has now reached the same death total per capita as the Northeast [3], which is quite astounding.

The Northeast got there by having a large number of people die early in the first couple of months of the pandemic as it tore through high density communities of especially vulnerable people while we were still trying to figure out basic things like how to treat it and what measures were practical and effective for limiting spread.

That should have cemented the Northeast as the US COVID death leader for the rest of the pandemic. But South Carolina in the last couple of months, despite over half the people being vaccinated, as managed to get a death rate that looks almost like an early pandemic Northeast death rate, eliminated the death gap.

Ah, it's actually 100gflops (not 100Gfmas) because the fmla instruction is fused.

I just ran it on CPU, single core (no pinning), just using the aarch64 fmla instruction.

Using pure BLAS (multithreaded, with the MM ISA extension), I get like 1.2TFlops in fp32 on the whole device. Code for the blas test: https://jott.live/code/blas_test.cc
And another quite different thing people do with "unsafe" is label code that is, from Rust's point of view, entirely safe, but which has important practical problems they want its callers to pay attention to.

Perhaps openHellPortal is complicated enough that you feel it should be a separate function. On the other hand, you want to be clear that nobody should expect openHellPortal to check the necessary precaution are in place. So, mark openHellPortal unsafe and provide a safe wrapper SafeHellPortal which internally calls openHellPortal after checking some necessary precautions are in place and ensures closeHellPortal is called when appropriate too.

As far as I know nobody builds hell portals with Rust (You have to assume there'd be a HN post about it right?) but they do plenty of embedded systems development, and those people use unsafe this way. Twiddling the SOC's interrupt controller is nothing to Rust itself, but the people writing the interrupt controller twiddling code can mark it "unsafe" and explain what callers must do to avoid chaos. Then callers can obey those instructions and make a safe wrapper for a particular purpose e.g. "SerialPort", and the average developer needn't even know that under the hood randomly twiddling the interrupt controller causes everything to catch fire, because they're using a safe SerialPort abstraction which can't cause that even if they hold it wrong.

Not everybody in this space is out to destroy your site. Some of us actively try to put as little load on your site as possible. My scraper puts less load on sites than I do when I browse them normally, I've measured it. Really sucks when we get lumped together with the other abusers and blocked.
The mRNA vaccines do not, and never have, reduce the spread of the virus from one infected person to someone else.

The only thing they do is reduce symptoms. That has been known from clinical trials.

Everything else is a talking point not based on a peer reviewed scientific study. Or if you think you have a study that refutes this, please post.
> It would be unethical if this placebo was given in place of a known working alternative treatment.

From what little I know of cancer treatment, that isn't how studies are generally run. When you're part of a trial, you're either given the experimental treatment, or the "standard of care", not a placebo.

So for cancer at least, you're either getting a novel treatment, or standard chemo.
This is what being an engineer during WW2 must have been like. Near infinite money and resources, but very tough deadlines
The vaccine wasn't contaminated, though.

The worst case scenario here is ~1,200 out of 44,000 trial participants in three out of 153 trial sites may have had bad data. I would hope that Pfizer and the FDA are double-checking the data from that vendor (and I strongly suspect that one vendor with aberrant data versus the rest of them is already something they keep an eye out for).

We've subsequently given (and monitored for the same sort of issues we look for in these trials) hundreds of millions of doses of the vaccine successfully.
Preact is a drop in replacement as long as you use the "compat" package. If you use a framework like Gatsby or NextJS, they both have a plugin that lets you drop in preact (positive that Gatsby has this, pretty sure that NextJS has the same)

Just a tip: leaking internal resources and passwords is not the best thing to do when trying to get an internship. That would send up huge red flags that you'd do the same thing at whatever company gives you an internship.

Wow, some names on the list seem innocuous. "Masen" for instance. A few others seem fine too.

My teenage athlete nephew mysteriously developed heart problems right around after he got vaccinated, and now he can barely walk up a flight of stairs. No one is going to say the vaccine caused it, but the timing seems pretty damning. Meanwhile, if you look at the CDC stats, the risk of injury from covid for his demographic is at least an order of magnitude lower than his risk from riding in a car.

Personally I don't believe that we are living in a rational society right now. For the fun of it, maybe I'll figure out one of those browser plugins to replace the word "science" with "propaganda".

I think it's generational.

I believe we are limited by our own experience, a lot of software is built upon the idea that problems are solved through procedural steps rather than a series of transformations.

This does not lend itself to thinking in a way that aligns nicely with functional programming.

Future generations will naturally think in ways unfathomable to you and I, and this will cause a shift in the fundamental approaches to software development.

You could also substitute "unregulated capitalism" for "capitalism". Often when someone criticizes capitalism for allowing some social ill, the underlying message is: This wouldn't happen if there were some regulatory guard rails and a legal system that punished this particular ill.

I don't know. I like Haskell, but practically I would still choose a dynamic language "with benefits" over Haskell for BE development. [1] For example, Python frameworks like FastAPI can enforce type discipline at the system boundary, and frankly it feels like a development sweet-spot. Rigour at the API level, but fast-and-loose reasoning can proceed as normal in the implementation.

It's a worse-is-better approach, to be sure, but it has a very appealing effort:result ratio.

[1] with the normal caveats -- every project is different, everybody's notion of a "backend" is different, etc. Haskell might be the sanest solution to some backend challenges.
Development tools help accelerate software development. Better tools help you go faster. This is happening in biotech as well - they're getting some very good development tools.

> However, the study provides evidence that interventions promoting mask use can reduce community SARS-CoV-2 transmission even when fewer than half of community members wear masks.
