I have a vivid memory of this. I got free tickets to a country music concert, and basically treated it as a party with a twangy soundtrack. It was fun, and I enjoyed myself. While waiting for my ride, I got to talking with a woman who got really offended that I saw it that way - she likened it to a religious experience, and how dare I treat it so flippantly.

I apologized while marveling to myself that something that felt so mediocre and forgettable to me was someone else's reason to exist.
> They believe it will be riddled with red tape and inefficiencies and bureaucracy, and will cost much more than the private insurance system.

This is really something that I wish more Americans could just experience.

I've had the fortune (mis?) to experience England's NHS system.

England isn't particularly known for running a bureaucracy free government :D. Yet, the NHS feels like a dream compared to the US healthcare system. I pretty much just filled out a card saying where I lived and that was it. Really bizarre for a non-UK or EU citizen.

After that, no bill, no nothing. IDK if I even needed to fill out the card TBH. Doctors appointments were just like you'd do with a regular doctor in the US. Simply schedule and show up.

A friend needed surgery while there and again, pretty much the same thing, showed up to the emergency room and got seen almost immediately.

All in all, wasn't really any worse than what I'd get in any US hospital.

We see so much paperwork in the US because there are (at least) 3 parties involved in every medical bill. You, your insurance, and the hospital.

Single payer cuts your involvement to 0 which kills pretty much all your paperwork. It also vastly simplifies hospital billing.

It's the technical equivalent to supporting 100s of standards and then dropping down to a single standard. Even if that standard is garbage, eliminates the need to support the 99 standards (even if some are better).

Costwise, it can't help but be less. The fact is, there's a lot of duplicate jobs in each insurance agency as well as some jobs that simply won't exist (no need for accuracy tables, for example).
Congratulations, you have independently discovered the fact that no side has a monopoly on being a complete fucking idiot.
I just want to commend Paul on a classy apology.

A lot of people are saying "it's not a big deal", and frankly, it might not be, but some safari developers felt that the work they put in wasn't respected, and Paul came out and gave a mea culpa.

Whether it's a big deal or not, if people's feelings are hurt, I think it's best to address it and apologise rather than to say "it wasn't that bad" especially when you've made a mistake.

Mistakes happen Paul. Well done for coming out and owning it.

That's what Putin would say. We're not talking math here, so "proven" can be more subjective.

Same thing. "You can pee into his eyes, and he'll still say it's God's dew". Somebody just won't admit he's wrong, no matter what. Of course we're talking about the MA17.

The story of 2021, brought to you by Gamestop
That study is publishing risk ratios like 0.60 for mortality [0] vs standard care, with very low confidence. If my mother caught COVID, in the absence of anything better, that study adds to my opinion that I'd quite like her to take some Ivermectin. It might help, it doesn't seem to harm. It'll make her feel better for having done something.

It certainly could turn out to be nothing. But on the other hand, why not get a doctors prescription until a couple of high quality studies have decided the issue? As you point out, the only real problem seems to be people taking it in unsafe dosages or through unreliable channels like a vet.

[0] Which is broadly consistent with the studies I've seen over at https://ivmmeta.com/ - not sure by how much, but it does seem to assist.
It's also worth noting that the statement you quoted from GP is objectively incorrect without the qualifier that Rittenhouse did not fire at Gaige until Gaige's Glock 17 was pointed at Kyle's head, because Rittenhouse had just opened fire on two unarmed men, killing one of them.

Keep that in mind while we're talking about omitting information to manipulate the narrative.

Well, if you don't want to engage in that, don't. Don't claim to have video evidence in your back pocket and then not show it to anyone because you want to shut down other people's discussions. Don't seize on part of my comment and then come back like it's unfair when it happens to you.

This isn't trial by Reddit, this is discussion of the evidence that has been investigated by professional investigators and presented as evidence in open court. The only thing I mentioned that wasn't raised and cross-examined in a court of law was the statement on ABC, by the same person who had said something different under oath just before.

You're the one alluding to some mystery video you won't describe.

> Vulkan is for graphics.

Incorrect. Quoting the spec:

> Vulkan is an API (Application Programming Interface) for graphics and compute hardware.

Vulkan has compute shaders[1], which are generally usable. Libraries like VkFFT[2] demonstrate basic signal processing in Vulkan. There are plenty of other non-graphical Compute Shader examples, and this is part of the design of Vulkan (and also WebGPU). Further, there is a Vulkan ML TSG (Technical Subgroup)[3], which is supposed to be working on ML. Even Nvidia is participating, with extensions like VK_NV_cooperative_matrix, which specifically target the ml tensor cores. A more complex & current example, we see works like Google's IREE, which allow inference/Tensorflow Lite execution on a variety of drivers, including Vulkan[4], which has broad portability across hardware & fairly decent performance, even on mobile chips.

There's people could probably say this better/more specifically, but I'll give it a try: Vulkan is, above all, an general standard for modelling, dispatching & orchestrating work usually on a GPU. Right now that usage is predominately graphics, but that is far from a limit. The ideas of representing GPU resources, dispatching/queueing work are generic, apply fairly reasonably to all GPU systems, and can model any workload done on a GPU.

A good general introduction to Vulkan Compute is this great write up here[5]: https://www.duskborn.com/posts/a-simple-vulkan-compute-examp...

> Khronos' compute standard that's most similar to Cuda is SYCL.

SYCL is, imo, the opposite of where we need to go. It's the old historical legacy that CUDA has, of writing really dumb ignorant code & hoping the tools can make it run well on a GPU. Vulkan, on the other hand, asks us to consider deeply what near-to-the-metal resources we are going to need, and demands that we define, dispatch, & complete the actual processing engines on the GPU that will do the work. It's a much much much harder task, but it invites in fantastic levels of close optimization & tuning, allows for far more advanced pipelining & possibilities. If the future is good, it should abandon lo-fi easy options like SYCL and CUDA, and bother to get good at Vulkan, which will allow us to work intimately with the GPU. This is a relationship worth forging, and no substitutes will cut it.

It's good that AMD is providing support for some of their customers since OpenCL is being removed in 3.0. I hope that this is just the start of far greater investment into their software ecosystem. It was understandable that AMD invested less in drivers and support software when they were almost bankrupt but that excuse is drying up. There are rumors that future AMD GPU architectures will be quite good and it would be a shame for that advantage to be wasted by a lack of software support.

How to answer “tell me about yourself”
I'm advocating for the honest representation of the net utility for social programs by stating their benefits in addition to their downsides. It's not a fair representation to only show losses without acknowledging that without unemployment (or with more stringent fraud checks that also would increase false rejections), many people would have lost their homes or lives during the pandemic.

More of a general answer than for CS, but for bachlors or masters (some are IT-related, maybe not as cool as you are looking for): check out WGU (it has been discussed on HN before, or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WGU or https://www.wgu.edu/ .

Edit: the reason I mention WGU is that it is accredited (lots, looks like), well-regarded AFAIK, you get credit for what you already know (test out), and take as many classes as you want in a semester for a flat fee (or some such), so you can do it for less $ if you are experienced or have learned material previously. And remote-friendly, I believe.

They aren't forced to use Apple as a distribution channel, just like Lenovo could also not sell computers on Amazon or at BestBuy and they probably make a higher margin when they sell D2C as well.

It's a cold blooded move by Apple, but I don't think its "nefarious". I'm very much against their rent seeking with the app store though.

Hot take: it can be bought -- you bought it with paid leave!

Ok, I know what you're trying to express. But I don't think it's dirty at all to acknowledge that taking care of your employees generates loyalty. It's a competitive advantage to offer benefits like this -- that's why all the big tech co's do it.
I went the other way - after years of boycotting chromium browsers I switched to Brave (and turned off all the BAT ads stuff). Stuff like built-in IPFS (including ipns domainlink), TOR, crypto wallets, adblocker, CMD-SHIFT-A to jump to recent things. It feels like it's the browser that's innovating the most and tries out new things all the time, kinda what firefox used to do in the past.
With Snowflake data is locked away in a proprietary format not accessible by other compute platforms. You need to export/copy your data to a different system to train an ML model in python or R.
With the Databricks, you can use python, R and Scala, (not just SQL) to interface with your data. You can use multiple compute engines (Spark, presto and other engines that support Delta) so you are not locked into one compute engine.
To skip creds, skip gov and bigco, esp when new :) Startups & smaller co's are the places that take on the uncredentialed CV risks that everything-aleady-works co's have too much to lose on.

Gov and bigco care about creds, esp early. Managers there are rarely judged on ultimate results as they are often far removed and just need to improve something predictable by say 1% and hit some fungible and redefinable goals. They are heavily into checklists for covering their ass in not going in the other direction: "Your team took down prod / project was late: why did you hire unaccredited ppl? You run a B team. My team needs 2x budget bc we have all CISSPs and PhDs, and are not responsible for final delivery bc that's grunt work." They do matter a bit later too, but more fungible: someone close to me is actively going through a ~50% pay negotiation based on the same work but differently creds & math being recognized.

Startups and smaller companies dont need to protect their fiefdom but make it exist & grow, so credentials mostly matter less and projects matter more. Early on whether you can actually code, which projects show. Later, whether you can actually run a project through various stages, vs ride on the coattails of someone else, which takes 1-3 years.
I'm having a hard time understanding this snippet:

The intermediary stop in Anchorage, as opposed to flying from Shanghai to Oakland, CA, actually increases total flight distance by around 144 miles but allows the aircraft to carry an additional 45,000kg of cargo (instead of extra fuel) increasing revenue for the trip by around $90,000.

Why would traveling an extra 144 miles allow the aircraft to carry 45,000kg of cargo instead of fuel? I feel like I'm misreading it.
That is true, but the OPs argument is not based on the data and science. If it were, it would be a much better article!
I don't really have have any complaints, it's really easy to tell which tab is where and the mouseover makes it even clearer. Does it look better? Maybe. Does it function worse? No.
The converse problem is a variant of the Texas Sharpshooter where, as you progress through the time period, you refine your goals to be closer to what is happening in the business, much like aligning the shadow of a batted ball to the ball. Eventually, those things inevitably converge and the updated goal is always achieved. According to the green OKR report anyway.

You shouldn’t stick overly stubbornly to bad goals, but any updating of goals in the time period should be carefully considered as well.
I like it too but would just like to point out, if you have too many tabs open the 'x' disappears.

To close the tab, you now require an additional click - one to select it, then another to press the 'x' button.

The world is as happy as you project it to be.

Freedom of speech is not the same as the freedom to spout anything without repercussion. Nor do we have to tolerate the intolerant (reference: Karl Popper, free speech and the paradox of tolerance).

I'd like to believe we have more freedom of speech nowadays than 100 years ago when society was more hierarchical. However... every fart you make gets recorded and if zoomed in on, it gets reprimanded to the point where a cardinal Richelieu would be able to get the subject hanging.

With regards of multi-culture and tolerance: certain behaviour is not accepted, and if ghat does not get assimilated the main culture become more racist to the subculture. Subcultures are free to maintain a part of their identity, its how certsin customs got into other society after war etc.
> Nobody has a VR headset.

Atleast 2 million Oculus Quests have been sold. And if no one has these devices, then WebXR is mostly useless for fingerprinting anyway.

> I actually do have a very expensive VR headset, and it's sat in the box for a few years since I initially played with it.

Goody for you. I have a Switch, Playstation, and Xbox that mostly sit rusting on the shelf as I mostly play PC games with mouse/keyboard. So therefore, my anecdote transfers to everyone?

> The problem here is Googlers have a completely unrealistic worldview

No, the problem here is, you have a derangement syndrome around Google. You rarely mention Facebook for example. Every company is working on AR/VR. Facebook, Microsoft, and Mozilla contributed major parts of the spec, but I'd say Facebook cares way more about VR these days than Google and they are betting the future of their company on it.

> It's just not something that belongs in a standard web browser toolset, and it's yet another thing I have to shut off to keep people safe on the web.

Maybe you have a point with MIDI, but musicians would probably disagree, but USB devices are ubiquitous, and VR/AR will be in the tens of millions of users within a few years, 6.1 million units predicted to be shipped this year, that's an exponential gain. And we all know that once Apple ships AR glasses, it'll explode further.

The real irony of your post is, if Facebook succeeds, Oculus will own a majority of the market, and they will control VR browsing in a Chrome fork (Oculus Browser), so they will put whatever APIs they wish into it, and Google nor Mozilla's opinion won't matter.

And if VR/AR becomes way more popular, which it seems poised to do, the fact that Chrome is 'safe' won't matter very much, and Google and Firefox will both end up implementing whatever Facebook wants to make it into their app store.

> Go to a senior living complex, sit down with someone who is not in the tech industry, and see if you can help them figure out how to clean all the notifications permissions and sleezy browser extensions out of their Chrome install.

How about you check their iPhones for how many recurring subscriptions they've been tricked into buying "1 month free", and forgot to cancel. I regularly find these on ordinary people's phones. They install apps, start a 1-month trial, and end up paying $5-10/mo zombie subscriptions for a long time before they notice.

But hey, notification permissions are the real problem, not their bank account being drained.
That reference and the original blog post where 70% was indicated is only dealing with security vulnerabilities in Microsoft's software, not everyone's.

If C#/.Net was invented today you could just implicitly have access to this information from within your function's scope. The compiler is smart enough to figure out if the CallerArgumentExpression() is used and optimize away the ones which were not.

nameof was added in C# 6, this like that, could have been added too e.g.: $"arg: {nameof(thing)}, with value: {thing}, from caller's: {callerargumentexpression(thing)}". It is a very useful logging/diagnostic tool, but I'd have to throw CallerArgumentExpression("") all over my code just-in-case, and I hate that.

PS - Yes I read the whole article, and understand how useful it will be for asserts/specific tooling; my point is that their imagination was too small and this will creep into all kinds of code.
