Well, there really is no boundary of insanity. Not one that you can define clearly, anyway. You shouldn't be afraid of yourself, that's not productive to learning. You're not that many people, hardware and software and all that, that's nonsense. There isn't a war going on inside you unless you imagine there to be one.

Be more bold.

I was like you, very ambitious. Started with a cube, after many attempts getting nothing saw something incredibly vivid, very much like lucid dreams that I've had when I was younger.

And then three months of nothing again.

I got SO EXCITED. It's there! I was right, people condition themselves largely, into a form of acceptable experience. But there is more.

So I took smaller steps. A point. A spot of magnitude. Add color. Add one more spot, at a measure from the first. Rotate that around, then rotate that in three dimensions. Trace letters, one by one. Read backwards the result. Light a surface, texture a surface, bend a surface.

The smaller the steps the more success you'll have. It's important to feel grounded, and it's important to be motivated to invest the time. Success is non-negotiable, it has to be there.

Frustration is the mind killer.

Ok so who has the biggest anecdote? CNET has the platform, and it’s an ad sponsored medium willing to hit pieces for a fee. I just like to argue on the internet for fake points. I recently owned a 2015 Lexus LX570 that engaged emergency seatbelt tensioners (and I think engaged auto braking too?) every time I came across a steel plate road cover for construction. Something about the solid metal hit the radar system just right and caused it to panic. And caused me to damn near have a heart attack every time and swerve, hitting something else. That’s dangerous, and it’s Lexus flagship model. I traded that in for a Model Y.

I have occasionally had phantom braking, and I think the collision warning system is a little frenetic, but phantom braking beats the hell out of phantom acceleration (Ford?), or you know, not braking when it really should (most other late model cars on the road today, and also many new cars currently for sale). I consider it an annoyance but not a safety concern unless there’s some jagweed tailgating me. If you are an appropriately responsive driver with your hands on the wheel and feet ready to engage the pedals, you can trivially override the braking. Only if you tune out does it become a problem. Was the author not safely piloting his vehicle?

The real reason I can tell this is a hit piece is that anyone reviewing the Model Y knows that it’s nearly perfect in every way, maybe a little too expensive, maybe a little cheapish materials in certain areas, but the real massive failure is that the suspension is borderline intolerable on routine city streets. Still thinking about trading it in for that reason alone.

Elon, if you or anyone at Tesla read this, please for the love of all that is good give me an option for variable suspension modes. I got the black turbine wheel upgrade that CNET rightfully said to pass on because, while the look absolutely amazing, I feel like I’ve become one with the asphalt in a bad way. I can’t use the cup holders because my coffees shoot out of the little sip holes at every minor bump. Maybe it’s just me coming from a soggy bottomed LX.
Does this mean that the chip isn't clocked? Doesn't that give you a complete metastability nightmare? How does it work?
I don't think the virus could ever be stopped with today's vaccines, even if everyone was vaccinated. Data from fully or almost fully vaccinated countries clearly show that this doesn't eliminate the virus. It of course helps, but we have to depart from the idea that the "zero covid" strategies work.
If the vaccines are only retarding infection and transmission instead of blocking it, then all they're doing is giving the virus a space to evolve in.
Which is also incorrect; the US Surgeon General tweeted masks "are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus" in Feb 2020, and Fauci said "There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask" in Mar 2020. Recommendations were frequently firmly against masking early on.

History shows that as a Virus mutates and evolves they tend towards more transmissibility but lower morality rate.

There is a high chance Covid-19 will flow the same path.

That’s not to say that a more deadly variant won’t appear it almost certainly will (or has already) but it is unlikely to become the dominant variant.
I agree with you in part, but the seemingly insurmountable part of that is, again, backwards compatibility. Like, sure there may be a better way to do block devices, but is it better enough to make both the old way and the new way supported in both hardware and software? It has an insane maintainability price to introduce change that is not backwards compatible.
>we all negotiate accordingly

This is quite a sweeping statement to make. My first engineering job salary was non-negotiable. I was told to either accept it, or they 'rapidly' move to another candidate.
I think it's arguably both. Bad UX means that it's difficult to learn how to do things and can make it easy to press the wrong button even once you are used to it.

However, having driven my share of cars that are exclusively touch screen, even when you know where something is (capacitative volume buttons, touchscreen climate change controls), it takes too long to find and adjust the settings compared to having physical knobs that you can easily reach over and adjust without taking your eyes off the road.
>Why is the continued existence of our species important to the universe?

It's important to us, which is the only criterion worth a damn when deciding what we should do.

Specifically, the continued existence of at least some members of the human species is probably the only ethical axiom that every single human on Earth can agree on. If you openly disagree - if you embrace the extinction of the human race as a personal goal - well I can only say that we are irredeemably enemies, and I will seek your destruction with proportionate effort to my estimate of your likelihood of succeeding, and I do not think I will be alone.

(This is not to say I do not also consider sapient alien trees worth preserving.)
Obviously Americans know it from the Gettysburg Address where Lincoln referred to the US being founded "four score and seven years ago", but he was being intentionally poetic, but you may not count 19th century as "modern" (even though from the linguistic perspective it is), but people often say things like "there are scores of movies where the protagonist finds out he is a prophesized hero" even today.
What is the proposed method of actually isolating the most vulnerable parts of society? I don't see how you do it in any meaningful way (At the very most vulnerable end, they are dependent on lots of people that are less vulnerable...).
The "undo" functionality, in my experience, is not amazing because it provides an enhanced eraser. It's amazing because it allows you step backwards through your free-hand thoughts.

As an example, I routinely use my tablet like a whiteboard for working out bits of math. The ability to bring back a value I'd previously erased to see exactly where I miscalculated is extremely useful. Similarly, I find this sort of thing to be really helpful when whiteboarding my way through a particularly thorny programming problem at work.
I'm not saying that enthusiasts can't be idiots, too. But the naysayers arguing against strawmen enthusiasts is getting pretty annoying, and it's pretty clear most of those people don't even know the technical definition of an NFT. The parallels, here, with criticism of the early internet is so obvious.
OK, free at the point of need, but it still needs to be paid for; do you have a suggestion. If countries take the vaccine supplies and then sell them on, what do we do then -- install a new government so we can get vaccines distributed? What if people won't take the vaccine that came from USA/China/Russia/local state they don't trust, do we somehow force them?

I'm for your proposal in the general aspect of it, but how do we take it forward as an actual plan?

I still don't think we'll eradicate it, but perhaps with lower levels of community transmission we'll reduce the flare ups of problematic variants?
Dude. So the stock went 20x and you missed it. Get over it.

Regarding the license, the “snake oil market manipulator” said something about that. When asked what corrupt governments could do if they didn’t want their citizens to have access to the unfiltered internet he said “they can shake their fists at the sky”.
How to go from Zero to One making things on the Internet
Absolutely true, but not the whole story unfortunately.

While many African countries need more vaccines, South Africa was in the process of throttling shipments because less and less people were getting vaccinated.

So the other big challenge is raising acceptance of the vaccines and fighting denialism.
If the variant pushes hospitals over the brink it will be catastrophic. Peru had very bad outcomes because they ran out of oxygen. Many otherwise healthy patients died who would have likely survived had they had some O2.

We forget how good Western medicine is, but none of that is going to matter if the system is overwhelmed and god forbid we run out of O2.

Also I imagine most patients right now being hospitalized in South Africa have Omicron.
I meant more collectively. But of course, yes, it's sweeping. It'll change regionally, or based on experience, or company culture, etc.

But I don't think it's unfair to say, especially in the US, that software engineers are highly compensated.
Bruh you can’t plagiarize copypasta. It is made to be eaten by all.
> Did better information become available...

Yes. We have significantly more information on the utility of cloth and surgical masking than we did in March of 2020.
If I was African I'd argue against vaccination. People in Africa are less obese and younger than folks from the developed regions. So, Covid won't cause much problems there to begin with. And vaccination just handicaps the pandemy turning endemic.
What is this absolute bullshit. Which shittube did you suck this "information" from, mr expert? Oh, sorry, your fear-mongering machine hasn't had time to power up yet? Sorry about that fucktard.
IMO only Tesla got this right. I absolutely love the touch screen. Though I wouldn't mind some physically buttons for a few essentials like A/C
It’s interesting compared to some of the initial COVID cases recorded in the US last year, specifically in a nursing home up here in the Seattle area where its death/hospitalization rate were quite high (iirc it was around 1 in 4 of that initial outbreak in the home ended up dying or something quite terrifying).

I’m worried that the opposite might be true here, young and healthy catching it first so death rate is lower (great!) but lulls everyone into a false sense of security that it won’t be another delta wave especially among elderly and sick but then it slowly creeps into one because of the initial coverage.

Tough balancing act for researchers, trying to prevent both panic and complacency.
> the answer i got from UX people is that "you can't hover or have tooltips on mobile". they are trying to achieve uniformity between mobile and desktop.

Yes you can. The generally agreed upon way to do this is by long pressing whatever you want to see a tooltip over.
I noticed this too since it disabled my ability middle click scroll and highlight lines while I read. It appears to be a very ham-handed approach to DRM that many websites are using these days.

But, putting it into a text browser lets me copy/paste the whole article. So it's only punishing the legitimate reader using a regular browser with JS enabled, not the potential thief!
This is correct, but I don't believe it devalues the original comment any less. Any part of the world where vaccination rates are lower allows (I assume) any variant to grow in that region, and then makes it easier to export to other parts of the world.
That's the spirit!

If you are successful, and it is a literal translation I'd like to add it as Suntime.ZSH

If you end up formatting it differently, or doing it significantly differently I'd still like to see it.

I had investigated a couple weeks ago getting a Remarkable2, but concluded that what I really seek doesn't yet exists - a "smart pen" that will just record what I write on regular paper. I understand the challenges, but I figured that with sensitive gyros and ML and the support of the supercomputer in my pocket that this would by now be a thing.
Alright there seems to be a major disconnect here. How does stopping a burglary become impossible if there aren't enough prisons (NOT jails, the two are different).

People don't invest in theater to make money.

There was a draft and GCC supports it in stdfix.h. The downside is that the types have limited integer range since they're tailored for DSP applications where values are kept scaled between +/-1.0.
It will eventually become just another element in economic selection.

The wealthy and the high income earners will start avoiding buildings, businesses, and organizations that won't or can't sufficiently upgrade to be considered safe. Their money will flow and support the healthy/safe alternatives.

Those that are left behind will be the dregs that the poor and desperate use and will gradually fall into disrepair until their owners go bankrupt or give up and sell to someone who has the means and drive to upgrade or demolish and rebuild.

The same thing happens to any old infrastructure where people can vote with their feet.
> a researcher posted a comment here on HN where they said that virus deadliness and contagiousness were in tension.

I've heard this statement a lot, and have been rather puzzled by why this must be the case. It's certainly true over a long period of time (a deadly pathogen that will kill off its hosts too quickly will also perish); and it's also certainly true that if a pathogen is very contagious but not deadly it can replace a deadly but less contagious variant; but I don't believe there's any molecular mechanism that locks these two properties relative to one another and dictates that if a new variant is more contagious it is likely to be less deadly and vice versa.
I mean, there are Zero Covid strategies that work, see China or New Zealand. The problem is just that those measures are so drastic that many countries would probably not accept them.

The goal in western countries is to get to the "endemic phase" of the infection - i.e. "live with the virus". That's all well and good, unfortunately this requires the disease to become significantly less deadly than it still is. We're not there yet.
What's wrong about it tho?
The media blows these variants out of proportion. I've been doing research in computational epidemiology now for quite some time. Get concerned when we say there is a new strain. As for now, this new variant will be used for political purposes (look at us, we're doing something about it).

This variant has been in the US for about two months, and it is easy to spot in the data in places like Colorado.

Don't blame me, the messenger, blame the politicians on both sides who have gotten this virus wrong.

Vaccination is the only tool we have. There is not a single medication we have that does better than an incremental improvement in patients (and all of those are up for debate).

And before anyone starts with 3rd world countries not having the vaccine, many of those 3rd world countries have sold their supplies to other nations, or have no way to distribute the vaccine. No one is discussing this.
If the vaccine is free, why would anyone need to sell it on?
Do they all say the "one" explicitly? In Dutch, it's "hunderdvijenzeventig", (hundred five and seventy), without the "one". That "one" is slightly more likely to be used with thousands, and a lot with millions.
Also worth mentioning that this is historically not unprecedented.

During the Spanish Flu the agreed policy for the schools that remained open was to have outside classrooms for children, or in winter to keep the heating on but with all windows open.
> It's not as fast as fetching a ZIP file, but it gets pretty close.

In the context of distro packages (the bug report mentioned OpenBSD and Fedora) you might be building tens of thousands of packages of which thousands are likely to come from GitHub. A small difference becomes greatly magnified.

No matter how wide my monitor is, I would always prefer aggressive breaking for the simple reason that I read the code vertically, like a book. Anytime my eyes have to travel too far horizontally it's annoying and tiring.

That's for a minimum energy Hohmann transfer, and within the launch window. To be truly threatening, nukes aimed at Mars have to be much more wasteful in terms of payload for the reaction mass. You can get to Mars in a day or less, but with a lot more energy needs, it's a matter of what you're willing to pay.

I'm always glad when an app with confusing buttons has 'tooltips' implemented that pop up when you long-press a button.

I think long-pressing for more info on touch screens feels quite intuitive, similar to how hovering feels intuitive when you have a mouse pointer.

I haven't peered under the hood of the DX11, I do have a TX81Z though which is the rack-mounted equivalent. I'm pretty sure the fundamental design would be more-or-less identical. There definitely would have been many small improvements in the design between the DX7, and the DX11. Aside from the DX11 supporting different waveforms (actually truncated sine waves), people have said that the large difference in sound between the successive generations of Yamaha's FM synths comes from using a more abridged sine table. The shorter the table, the more thin, and metallic the sound.

The situation in question doesn't involve violence: three dudes grabbed some merchendise from a cannabis shop. From the cop's perspective it's a lose-lose situation: some of the burglars may turn out career criminals and attempt to avoid arrest by any means possible, because getting arrested would reveal some other crimes, and the cop would have to use force or a gun, possibly killing a burglar. The media would predictably paint the cop as a merciless thug and the actual thug as a saint, riots would follow, legislators would further handicap police. The cop wisely decided that it's better to stay aside and engage only if things turn really violent.

SF has a cognitive dissonance right now: it doesn't want crime, but it doesn't want to punish criminals, so when criminals come uninvited, SF can't decide what to do.
Tips for Building a Multi-Tenant Cloud Service over AWS
Right, but quarantine for everybody is at least a different kind of arbitrary. I wouldn't say it is arbitrary at all given how infection works, but the point can likely be argued.

Imposing a travel ban on a country that does a lot of surveillance and then not on countries that do less surveillance is the worst kind of arbitrary.
> Burglaries are violent crimes. How is it protecting lives to allow violent crime to happen?

Depends where you live. In the US robbery is a violent crime, but burglary is generally considered a non-violent property crime.
> Now you've banned solitaire, paint, file explorer, media player, photo viewer, pdf viewer, disk defragger, etc. etc.

Good?, I would like to see a bare bones windows version that I can just use for games that work only on windows. Right now all I see is added bloat/spyware with no way to disable it as such I'm not using it.

If other people want the 'complete' version - just buy the complete version.

That's personal preference, I don't see something wrong with your slippery slope.

Still, the main argument is Microsoft using their market dominance/operating system control to destroy alternatives which is the case here and was the case with internet explorer and office. It's nice to have operating system provide custom APIs just for your applications while closing competitors out.

> They can’t afford them.

This is better said as "they are not produced fast enough". That will lead you directly to the solution, instead of losing time discussing the price.

It's a very similar thing, the price poor countries pay is not enough to justify investing in extra productive capacity. There is a confounding factor that new capacity takes a long time to arrive, but even when that is taken into account, there are just not enough vaccines and there won't be on the near future.
We got to zero polio. What's stopping it from happening here?
The Britannia copper and zince mine in British Columbia Canada, between Vancouver and Whistler, hosts of the 2010 Olympics, was ignored as a source of heavy metals into the ocean.

A waste treatment plant, water capture and treatment, and deeper discharge into the ocean led to improved water quality and copper extraction.

Someday we will process our landfill for their precious metals. Before that we should use insitu remediation to extract currently "unprofitable to extract" metals from closed mines.
