> If you list boxes you don't have to tick, you are automatically discriminating against women. Men are more likely to apply missing skills than women

So, wanting the best people for the job is discriminating? Well, cancel me then.

IDGAF about that kind of interpretation. A job offer that lists the technological environment and the skills you may need to develop is just an honest job offer. If it happens to appeal more to men than women (and I seriously doubt that claim), so be it.
Aside from islands closing their borders and implementing extremely strict testing and quarantine regimes (and even these don't hold up forever), the evidence for the effectiveness of NPIs is a lot thinner than you might intuitively expect.

The prior NPR story on this said that the seamount (which they hit) was uncharted. And suggested that there are ~100,000 vaguely similar seamounts in the world's oceans.

I suspect that the Navy would dump a cautious sub captain - who ran on the surface, or slowly, or using his sonar to (loudly) look for uncharted seamounts in his path in such circumstances - extremely fast.

I would not call it institutional accountability when people are ordered to run through a minefield, and then the ones who get unlucky are punished.
Investing in a prototype and believing it will turn into a successful product, when that prototype can't even demonstrate the fundamental technology itself, just seems like wishful thinking. And I see no evidence to suggest they have a path to viability other than "trust me bro."

I see a bunch of patents and hand-waving that seems intentionally complicated. I spent much of my career helping companies raise money based on demos (I'm talking billions of dollars) and this just seems like more bullshit to me. And all of those demos I worked on were smoke and mirrors, despite building quasi-functional prototypes you could interact with.

I'd love to be wrong but they aren't make an effort to convince me otherwise, they just want to raise a shitload of money.
> However, I do wonder whether they are going for the wrong thing. They are not competing against AMD's Zen 3 desktops at anything but the very high end, and their power consumption numbers are pretty insanely high

How so? The $289 i5-12600K (or $264 for the version without integrated graphics) looks to outperform the more expensive mid-range AMD parts in many tests. It's even at the top of the Performance-per-dollar chart on page two: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel-12... It also leads the performance-per-dollar average in the conclusion.

The i5-12600K also has lower average power consumption than everything but the low-end Ryzen 5600X, but it beats the power power-hungry AMD processors in most benchmarks. This is really impressive. I don't understand why everyone is convinced the Alder Lake is inefficient.

> In both the laptop and server market, the thing that matters most is performance per watt rather than performance per dollar, and they aren't ahead in that metric.

The i5-12600K is the performance-per-watt leader in many (maybe most) of these benchmarks. The "Per Watt Results" chart on page 12 is confusing, but the i5-12600K is the performance/watt winner in maybe half or more of the tests: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel-12...

I think the mid-range i5-12600K is the real star of this show, matching the performance of the AMD 5800X but at a significantly lower price. I think people are putting too much focus on the enthusiast-oriented i9-12900K which was designed to be a no-compromise performance chip without regard to efficiency.
No. There's a big difference between drugs and vaccines. The drug doesn't generally illicit an immune response, but the vaccine is designed to do exactly that.

MIT's SPARC has been many times in HN, can anyone knowledgeable tell how does Helion's approach differ from SPARC? Which is supposed to be completed 2025.
> There is an argument to be made

Ok, then make the argument. There must be a mountain of evidence if this is true.
this drug (and all covid medicine) at this point is no longer about people hesitant to take the vaccine. this is about going back to a pre covid life. the vaccine does not protect you fully from covid 19. states in the u. s. and some eu countries have very high vaccination rates and still saw a wave of covid go through them, examples: vt, nh, de, nl. in all these places roughly 70% vaccination rate and many vaccinated people testing positive, some vaccinated dying.

when this happens governments get scared. they start doing mask and vaccine mandates. things shut down. what if you could still have these waves but nearly eliminate the chance of anyone dying? then we could start treating this like an endemic cold or flu. i think these waves in high vaccine areas show convincing “vaccine skeptics” is not the gate to get there. we could be 100% vaccinated in areas and still see covid waves. the question is can we make it less risky to the point where we can go back to where we were
If that's the link sent around, I think it'd help to have a bit more structure. Titles, subtitles, different font sizes, some variance ... At first glance, it looks like a very long list with no "pauses" and no structure.

A bit of empathy can go a long way. That might be the tenth resume your interviewer will read today, anything to make their life easier will help.

I'm not sold on the list of technologies at the top of the resume for two reasons: The first is it gets repeated when you go through the roles, the second is it doesn't tell me when you had that experience.

Did you just have two years of experience in nodejs recently, or was it two years ten years ago?
> Because nobody cared to make it work. From bottom to the top. Some were just pretending they worked, some worked poorly, some work good but with no good direction.

They did care. The first two post-WWII decades were a time of a massive economic and social upheaval where everyone did care to regain peace and everything and everyone that had been lost in the war. People have united to rebuild the country from scratch. It started rapidly going downhill in late 1970's and onwards due to stagnation and growing indifference stemming out of it.
I'm not going to comment on the substance of the application, I have no idea.

I just wanted to point out that A1 at the end of this document means this is JUST a published application.

One would need to find each "GRANTED" application that claims priority to this application to find any patents. Then one would need to read the claims on each patent to really know what it covers.

The WO at the beginning means it was filed with WIPO first, which is not any particular country. WIPO is the World Intellectual Property Organization. This is an application process that makes it simpler to go to multiple countries, but every country has its own process (the EU countries have more synergy in the process and their own EP process).
> which is the main remaining threat to rational society

What is a "rational society" and what threatens it?

My default view is Rawlsian: I'd like to live in a society which maximizes the well-being of the least well-off people, even if that's not currently me. In that framework one threat from a pandemic is that some at-risk people might die (people with some health conditions will die when infected and may not respond well to vaccination); that threat can be mitigated if people develop treatments, apply nonpharmaceutical interventions like indoor masking, and participate in community inoculation.

There are other very different notions of a "rational society". In some, the premature death of people who are elderly, medically at-risk, or choose to avoid vaccination might be preferred outcomes. Hmmm.

>In England, Northern Ireland and Wales, the law requires you to register a birth within 42 days (GOV.UK, 2019a). In Scotland, a birth needs to be registered within 21 days

My parents would have been in jail.

They were both Old World immigrants and very traditional (though, from different countries). So I wasn't named until I was almost a year old.

Also I didn't have a haircut until after 1yo, supposedly a cultural tradition. Didn't wear pants until I was 2yo, again supposed to be a cultural thing.

Here's the one that blows a lot of young people's minds: I didn't have a Social Security number until I was 17. And the only reason I got one was so I could get a passport.

These days you can't function, even as a child, without a Social Security number. Back then, you were still considered a human being and an American citizen even if you weren't constantly enumerated, tabulated, and tracked.
You don't think there's some benefit to working subscale hardware?
> compared to 41 hospitalizations and 10 deaths in the placebo cohort

This makes me weirdly sad. Can you imagine entering the trial for a long sought drug against a deadly disease that turn out to be working, and end up in the control group? I know that there's more to it (it's necessary, they knew, it could have not worked, plainly be nocive, etc.) but it's like being unlucky twice in a row and die out of that while having received the real thing would have saved you

I wonder how well it will do on people who are farther along in their COVID infection?

There are a lot of people who don't get vaccinated, don't take precautions to avoid COVID, dismiss their early symptoms either because they believe COVID isn't worse than a typical cold or flu or because they think that is probably what they have, just treat it at home with vitamins and ivermectin if they do anything at all about it, and don't end up going to a doctor or hospital until they are having so much trouble breathing they have to go to the emergency room.
> completely novel molecule

Can someone please ELI5 what makes this unique from others?
Can you point me to a mandate anywhere with some kind of hospitalization rate cutoff? Because everywhere where there are still mask mandates, they seem to be nebulous things that will just last until it’s no longer politically popular. Oregon for example set an arbitrary date, which of course makes no sense.
Odd that you have forgotten it since Kansas, if it were it's own country, would have been a top-5 world hotspot for COVID deaths only 6 weeks ago. Is your memory really that short?
Before everyone becomes super excited, I want you all to read this article from Nov 2: https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n2635

Read it carefully. Pfizer falsifies clinical data and covers up significant adverse effects. FDA knows about all of that and covers their asses. Whatever comes from Pfizer will be authorized without any questions being asked. It's not even a legislation, but a straight up internal arrangements between FDA and Pfizer executives.

Whatever you see in media about Pfizer is a complete crap.

I also want to remind you that Pfizer is responsible for the largest health care fraud in history. They had to pay $2.3B fine in 2009.
I agree 100%, but it is a fact of life, and sometimes it's better to just minimize the fuzz and focus on the things that matter.

Your argument is perfectly valid and applies to offline activities as well (what stops a competitor from walking through the aisles of a Walmart or Costco?), but this is a battle that can't be won, there are too many parasitic actors. It is human nature.
There's no bad propaganda when it comes to persuading people to get vaccinated. The alternative is the mess we're in now because people hesitate to get vaccinated. This study uses HIV to model sars mutation. HIV is highly mutagenic :

https://www.google.com/search?q=hiv+mutation+rate&oq=hiv+mutation+rate&aqs=chrome.0.0i512l6j0i22i30l4.1834j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

sar-cov2 is less mutagenic than the flu and far less than HIV:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7539923/

i.e. based on the PLOS study and the one above:

1. PLOS study constantly uses the word "risk" and "may", i.e. the authors don't know the actual probabilities of escape and use a mathematical model based on a far more mutagenic virus, HIV.
2. even if there's a low threshold for the virus to mutate, most of the mutations are not viable
3. so far we've seen only 4 dominant strains, the rest are being outcompeted : https://www.google.com/search?q=how+many+dominant+mutations+of+covid+are+there
4. It makes more logical sense to me that if your unvaccinated body takes 10 days to mount a peak immune response (as mentioned in the PLOS study), that still gives the virus more time to mutate even if there are no pressures to mutate. There's lots of missing data in your study, particularly what exactly is the mutation rate for sars-cov-2 in vaccinated vs unvaccinated populations? But if we simply look at where the dominant mutations have come from so far, it's not from countries with high vaccination rates like Israel, New Zealand, or from asian countries that take serious measures at curbing the spread of the virus, singapore, japan, korea, china.
We'll see how this comment ages, in the VR meta future
I wholeheartedly agree, I used to tutor calculus in college and getting students to focus on the fact that the derivative was the slope of the curve or the rate of change and the integral was the area under the curve and the significance of that made calculus so much easy. Drawing the unit circle to explain the cos, sin, and tan was also so enlightening to students. Most students just see a list of characters when the see math problem, but "math people" understand what is going on underneath and become excited to solve a problem and see multiple paths of potentially solving it. If you can unleash that excitement the problem solves itself.

Once you understand the why, the how becomes so much easier.

As a hiring manager, my first two concerns would be:

1. At StaticIP.io, did this person actually work as a Go developer, or was he some other type of "Engineer" who occasionally needed to code something? Are we talking 500 lines of Go code in total, or 50000?

2. Is there any evidence that the Go programming effort was successful at meeting customer needs? All I can find is things like http://web.archive.org/web/20190314150150/http://staticip.io... that suggest that the company may have failed before it even launched.
My understanding is that most of the fusion net balance problems are proportional to scale.

Machinery to initiate fusion must be at least this big, consume at least this much power, and cannot be scaled down arbitrarily.

However, if one were to scale it up in size, the same doesn't hold. Output power scales faster than increased input requirements.

Consequently, most current fusion work is (a) find a design that theoretically has those scaling characteristics, (b) build a prototype to investigate / prove any unknowns (net negative power, but not ITER/NIF expensive), & (c) if able to prove (b) then scale up into a net positive example.

Punk didn't have nearly the distribution, but yes punk rock is the closest I can think of to an analogue for exporting violence to non-Black youth. The other being Italian mafioso movies, creating a stereotype for some to "look up to". If you grew up around Bay Ridge in Brooklyn around those times, you'd see the effect. It isn't a race thing, it's a culture thing where the worst elements are being purposely amplified and distributed to everyone by a movie/music industry.

Why has Blaxploitation became not ok but gangsta rap is still considered “just art” with misogynistic and violent lyrics portraying Blacks self describing themselves as materialistic thugs, they were role models “poppin bottles”? Are women not 50% of the population, why is it OK? Why is it OK to have lyrics about mistreatinf Black women etc. as “just art” and Ice Cube who uses B’s and H words about women in his music comes on to Bill Maher’s show to lecture him about how using the N word even about yourself in a joking way is “not cool”? Yet it is cool to be a non-woman and using slurs against women? I think both are uncool.

If I look at Moverio's website, technical data I can instantly see a few differences from ENGO - Epson provides all kinds of data, I can see prisms in product photos. I can get an idea about actual technical implementation so I have no doubt this is a real thing (also it is Epson) etc etc. I can see numerous youtube videos about the product working and etc.

ENGO is just a marketing website. Doesn't show anything like a working product. It is all photoshop and renders. No idea about anything technical. Modal windows popping up. Shopify site where I am buying don't know what. Testimonials from half a year ago. Nothing of user reviews on youtube?

I bet you it is a scam. Cmon guys. It is a scam.
What you seem to not understand is that normal people don't speak up when they only have a canned response they were told to say, to say.

They technically could, but usually they are smart enough to realize that it is stupid to do so and reserve the act for when they know they have something of value to contribute.

If you are hiring stupid people, well, good luck. Someone uttering gibberish is likely the least of your worries, which no doubt explains why you haven't noticed the problem with it.
I immediately recognized this as a nice scaffolding to start the automation process of a slog task. There's lots of things that are difficult to fully automate. But breaking it down into step by step functions, you can identify and automate the low hanging fruit.

Then maybe you could request some help with the ones that are a stretch for you to automate yourself.

The article also shows that deaths-per-100k is highly dependent on age. "“Age is our top risk factor for vaccine breakthrough deaths,” said Theresa Sokol, the state epidemiologist in Louisiana, one of the jurisdictions that contributed to the C.D.C. data.". In 12-17 and 18-29, deaths-per-100k are essentially 0 for both vaccinated and unvaccinated. This is fantastic news for kids of grade school age: they can live their lives for the next 20 years without having to worry about covid medical risks.
