Wow: "There were two flights from South Africa that landed in Amsterdam late last night. Upon arrival, all 600 passengers were tested on the tarmac and 61 tests came back positive. A 10% prevalence rate on a flight is unbelievably high. [...] Especially given all passengers were negative before take off."

Hopefully there was some contact between them before the flight to help explain that.
I liked the `little` series. It's a bit slow if you already know enough circular lispiness but they really manage to make a full theory emerge from tiny innocent questions. Brilliant.

Reducing that situation to a 'choice' is (from an analytical standpoint) just wrong, because the mechanics at work are a lot more complex.

In the end, you can say it is a choice, but what is a choice worth, if you don't know anything about preconditions (the knowledge, the impulse control, the education, the emotional point of reference, earlier experiences, etc). Not talking about how drugs affect your ability to choose and execute what you have chosen to do.
An interesting thought experiment is, what's the correct public health response if it appears that Omicron is more contagious but less serious than Delta, and catching Omicron is mutually exclusive with catching Delta or any other strain.

I know I wouldn't want to be the public health people trying to wrestle with the pros and cons of response in this kind of setup, must be really tricky to get things even close to right.

I want to agree with you, but I would be very careful not to fall into paranoia. It's easy and destructive.

The CDC is probably silent because they're slow and inefficient, so they have nothing very certain to say. If there's dishonesty, it's not the main theme.

Furthermore, there are talented people at the CDC. Plenty of those.

If they don't get a lot of work or communication done, it's organizational inefficiency.
Right. The point is that you get renewable energy which is desirable rather than non-renewable energy. If the latter were cheaper the situation would be less appealing.
We say ‘fourteen’ but not ‘four and ten’. Fourteen comes out as one word, like eleven. If ‘fiveforty’ were a word it would be easier to process as one word instead of five and forty which tends to be processed as two words.
This is effectively saying we just shouldn't have copyright.

Person A buys a movie and agrees to not distribute it, but goes ahead and does it anyway to Person B. Person B hosts it for everyone, and Persons C through Z get it and also host it. You're suggesting Person A is liable, but the cat's out of the bag and Persons B through Z can continue redistributing it forever because they never agreed to anything.

If this is the desired goal, you don't need copyright at all, you can already get Person A on violating Terms of Service or whatever.

Hidden dot files were introduced as a bug and left to linger because they were kind of useful. It all started when someone tried to hide . and .. from the output of ls and messed up the if statement to only check if the first letter in the filename was a period instead of testing for the intended use cases. People then copied that behaviour around because it was a cool new trick, not because it was set up as a standard.

The Windows method, leveraging file attributes, is actually much cleaner in my opinion. You can set the hidden attribute in ZIP files and most tools do for OS specific files and folders, but I don't want my ZIP tool to put files on my file system that I don't get to see first so I always turn them on.

Windows does the same thing with desktop.ini, but I rarely encounter those anymore. It used to be that every ZIP had a bunch of thumbs.db files but Microsoft seems to have cut that out.
Woah, that explains a lot of weird bugs, actually! This is very useful information, thanks!
> If they can't picture it consciously, that seems to mean that they cannot subjectively experience that representation, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I think realising that other people actually visualises things gave me a lot greater understanding of what blind people experience, in a way. Before I found it hard to imagine, because I had nothing to compare it to. It's hard to imagine, but at the same time we navigate spatially without sight all the time, e.g. when our hands move outside of our field of vision and we still know where to move it.

> I never reached that point.

This is really fascinating.

> Again if you can draw from memory, there must be some sort of representation in your nervous system of what you're drawing, even if you don't consciously experience it as images.

Sure, I absolutely "know" what something looks like even when I can't see it. I can verbally describe it, I can relate to it spatially, so yeah, there's certainly a lot of detail that's still available. I can even "visualise" in a sense the process of drawing an object I remember, in that I can "spatially" "look" at a point that I can't see and move it around (when I do I get a strong urge to move my eyes to track the point, but I can suppress that). I sometimes think I might get an "afterimage" of a line when I do that, but I'm not sure. Maybe that's a path to try to train up an ability to actually visualise things. I keep meaning to try.
> It comes with a very real nuclear option that will bankrupt miners if you misbehave and get fired by hashing algo change.

Changing the hashing algo isn’t a realistic punishment for targeting misbehaving miners.

You end up with two choices:

1. Change to an algorithm that uses gpu/cpu instead of ASICs (and is ASIC-resistant), but then your algo runs on general-purpose computing and you can’t fork miners off ever again.

2. Move to another algo that benefits from ASICs. This has the extra overhead that you need to spin up manufacturing and distribution of these ASCIs to honest miners, which takes quite a long time to do and while you’re waiting, your network is being attacked.

In either case, you aren’t just punishing a misbehaving miner, you’re punishing *all* miners who now all need to get funding to buy and rack new hardware. You’re making a big assumption that the misbehaving miner won’t be able to get financing or sufficient capital while the honest ones will. If the dishonest miner’s attack was profitable while waiting for the fork, they get to keep all of that money and can spend it on new hardware.

In PoS, the attacker will lose their stake, meaning they lose the money they had before, and earned as a result of, the attack. It may be much more difficult for that validator to get access to capital and lenders will be hesitant to lend to an entity that now has a history of burning capital.

Nice! Feature suggestion: an (optional) colour picker would be a nice touch, so you can pick (or perhaps enter #RGB) one that should appear and the others are then a fitting palette. Occurred to me because I was refreshing through a few, liked the colours on one, but not so much the pattern. (Perhaps alternative implementation would be a 'hold colour palette' or 'hold pattern' toggles, so only the other varies.)

After the clustering, it then identifies points of agreement across clusters and surfaces those for voting to verify. That’s in the article on the linked site:

I'm going to guess that this has been posted because of a report I heard about yesterday, alongside a claim that corroborative research is being suppressed, by the researchers themselves, because they're worried about losing funding from drug companies.

If you go offline the penalties are very small. You can be offline a third of the time and break even. The real penalty happens if you send conflicting messages, and even that's not too severe unless a lot of other nodes do it at the same time.

It’s not even worrying about Buffet. I worry about hedge funds and sovereign wealth funds that would definitely manipulate PoS if it earned enough for them.

It's really fascinating, because the variety of experiences here is so broad. And my experience during meditation suggests to me that even the level of visual experience I can recall having had during dreams are nothing compared to what is possible. I really want to find a way of triggering that level of fidelity again, but I'd settle for much less. It's not that I really feel like I'm missing out per se, as that it's intriguing that it's possible. At the same time my spatial reasoning is well above average, and I can't help wondering what, if any, link there is between that an the aphantasia. E.g. have I learned to reason spatially because I can't reason visually? Or do people tend to learn one or the other? Or are they entirely separate?

There's also an alternative:

3. cryptocurrencies stop the Austrian economics fetishism and index the coin reward to the mining difficulty. That means getting rid of the fixed coin supply.

That would stabilize the price of the token a lot (since price going up would increase the mining appeal, thus expanding the money supply, driving the price down) and also make it much more usable as a mean of payment (the number of token in circulation would grow in parallel with the growth in users).

Obviously it's not gonna happen, because those people have spent a decade convincing themselves that deflation is good and fixed money supply is the righteous way to manage a currency.
It’s funny to me that I see some comments talking about moving to Texas for the economic reasons, that also seem to follow up with commentary about changing the political landscape.
I mean, they are saying all they know right? Fauci has come out saying he expects Omicron to be present in the US already, but he is explicit that it is a guess. CDC could formally say it is probably here, but like most large organizations are being conservative with their language.

I only hope if they DO receive word of the variant they make it known quickly. The nature of the PCR assay suggests it is easy to detect.

Interesting to think about.

Something like—High frequency tags may be present in the name or as synonymous with the search term, whereas less common/frequency terms, which would characterize the link, would not appear.

I’ve not done any work on this topic but it’s very interesting.

I’m thinking about search on e-commerce sites (lol. holiday shopping) where you’re searching on a general term or type of product. The results are mixed, so you sort by price. Let’s see what a high value item looks like, and a low value; this is an evaluation heuristic to reveal different quality products.

Maybe there should be both tags then? A few high frequency and a few low frequency?
I kinda don’t understand why at least online there are no preorder queues for items out of stock. Seems that and purchase limits would prevent this kind of behavior.
>which is what 99.9% of people use

Maybe we have different ideas about what constitutes "low-latency" but in HFT std::deque is rarely used. Much like std::unordered_map, which allocates every insert potentially costing up to a microsecond for each insert.

>It's just a segmented vector.

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/libstdc++-html-USER... we can look at the source. This "segmented vector" is `_Tp** _M_map`, essentially a vector of vectors. This means potentially twice the pointer-chasing, as we have to do two lookups. It also means allocation/deallocation each time a new segment is added/destroyed, which leads to more allocation than when using a vector (first need to allocate the segment, then potentially allocate entries within that).

>A ring buffer is a completely different data structure, it only works for fixed-capacity queues.

Where possible it's better to use a fixed capacity queue, especially one where the capacity is a power of 2 so wrap-around calculation can be done more efficiently. But the same kind of thing can be done for a dynamic-capacity queue, by resizing the whole backing array when capacity is reached.

I kind of skimmed the article, was there a mention of the mortality or long-haul rate that I might have missed? Since viruses mutate to become less deadly with time, we would expect later variants to be less dangerous than earlier ones. Without knowing the mortality rate of Omicron it's hard to do any useful risk analysis.

I never said you have to adhere to my standard. Light is subjective of course. There is no such thing as a light weight standard for tents and if there was it still wouldn't be objective. I base my opinion on what is available in the solo tent market where I look at a combination of price, durability, where it will be used and how many days the hike is. There are not that many tents under 500g so it's a bit too restrictive in my opinion, but someone else could claim that and that would be fine.
But why would a new entrant get the chain from a node that already exited, and why would this affect anyone other than the entrant itself? I assume the new entrant is itself liable if it copies the wrong chain, because other nodes will vote against it once it starts operating, so it will make an effort to get the correct chain (maybe by buying it from current nodes and ensuring they all provide the best chain). So maybe you would have some kind of cartel of running nodes that may or may not allow new nodes to enter, but I don't see a critical network-destroyig issue here.
I agree, but there is also a risk of mutations of the new virus. I'll copy one of my comments in a similar question:

Using "live" virus is a problem. For example there are two versions of the polio vaccine. The injectable uses inactivated ("dead") virus, and the oral uses weakened("live") virus.

Both are safe, but in the oral one the virus can go to another person and cause no problems, and then to another and cause no problems, and after like a year jumping hosts it can mutate and become dangerous. Now most of the the polio cases are caused by virus that mutated from the version of the vaccine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio_vaccine#Vaccine-induced_...

The number is much smaller that the number of cases before the vaccine, but it's concerning anyway. So they are trying to discontinue the use of the vaccine with the weakened virus, but the it's better when most of the population is not vaccinated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio_vaccine#Schedule

So ... probably the authorization and test necessaries to use a new vaccine with and attenuated virus are more difficult than a vaccine with an inactivated virus (or a vector virus, of mRNA, that also can't spread).

> the original counting system in the Nordic region was based on 20s?

No other Nordic language is like that.

It's probably not a coindicence that the same system the French use. Apparently French was the coolest language you could speak in the 1700s and all the nobility did it.

Only the Danish swalllowed the "twenty" part of the it, so it's no longer possible to deduce any meaning from hearing the word. Add that to the fact that "half" has a universally accepted meaning too, but should be understood here as "ten-less-than".

So I think Danish wins the most bizarre counting system over the French. And the French is far more so than the German. All they're guilty of is being careless with the ordering of numerals.
