But can't the argument br made that programming, or computing generally, is the process of automating information processing - automating thought? Any many public offices and servants, as well as many regulatory processes and management positions are nothing but menial mental tasks?

What decentralization provides is a platform on which these things can be automated and implemented much, much more easily than with traditional methods - because the issue of trust falls away. And, they are implemented in a way that is transparent to everyone.

> In other words, you could theoretically have no knowledge and just get astronomically lucky to an arbitrary degree (whatever degree it would take to cross that proof threshold).

Even if you remove all the statistical nature from the system: They're trying to prove they have a piece of knowledge of finite size. If astronomical luck is a real concern, then you have to worry that even a non-probabilistic prover could have just guessed the knowledge.

Or as an analogy, even if you had a perfect and magically irreversible hash, someone could still guess the password first try.

In my experience, you hypothesis is wrong.
This is a load of drivel. Population growth is leveling off because it takes a few generations for cultural behaviors to adapt to the fact that infant mortality magically disappeared in an evolutionary blink of an eye. Humans have plenty of genetic diversity, the critical population (the number where genetic variation increases due to random mutations faster than it is lost to inbreeding) for humans is something like 500 individuals. Even if it were a concern, we are uniquely capable to artificially increase variation through genetic engineering and selective breeding if it ever came to that. Rapid genetic collapse is simply an absurd notion. And indeed, human tool use makes us able to adapt to any other changes in our environment faster than evolution could possibly process.

At this point in time, the only thing that could wipe out humans and their descendants would be a global catastrophe comparable to previous mass extinction events where virtually everyone would be killed nearly instantaneously and any survivors could not group up to recover. Is such an event possible? Yes. Imminent? Not at all. Humans will not last forever, nothing does, but there isn't a species on earth I'd bet on to outlast us.
Kagi.com does this. In closed beta at the moment, but you can email and request access.
Unfortunately, this may have been true in 2020, but at this point the rate of SNPs (mutations) creating VoCs (variants of concern), plus the break-through infection rate, strongly suggest that no level of herd immunity (even 100%) will lead to suppression. At this point we'd all be better off focusing on ways to slow the spread.

I don't think you need to outline a number in advance (if you are familiar with the UK's response, one very big problem has been that forecasts of deaths has consistently undershot estimates even when England wasn't in lockdown and had no mask mandate). We had excess mortality around 10k/week in April, that probably did require a lockdown (to be clear though, if the govt had handled the care home situation better than maybe not necessary) but the bump in December last year was very minor. I am not sure what you mean by who...whoever gets Covid.

Yes, no issues at all. I support lockdowns and have had relatives who became very ill because of lockdowns (delayed/ineffective hospital treatment, I am actually not well myself either for the same reason). I think trying to argue that someone should only support/oppose something because they have something to gain personally is the reason why politics in some countries is totally fucked (the UK is probably the worst for this, somewhere around 2017/18 most of the media became tabloids and every politics story contained some hyperbolic bullshit from some random person claiming their life would be destroyed by X minor policy change...it is just a waste of time and energy for all involved).

This current wave moves from the east to the west. In fact, Germany has probably peaked, we have 4 days in a row of declining number of infections. France is at the beginning of the next wave, their number of today's infections is approaching German numbers.

The people not getting vaxed voluntarily are the same ones that would never sign up or take the test
> most people who're hospitalized have been vaccinated

Is this true? My understanding is that the opposite is true, most people who are hospitalized are not vaccinated by a large margin.
I would happily take that bet. I'm sure it's higher than the percentage of general population, but I'd bet money it's still less than 20%.
Those around me, or are vaccinated so it does not matter, or chose not to be vaccinated in which case also does not matter

I would rather no one forces anything on anyone

If you don't enforce vaccination, you have to ration medical care.

Should someone come in to the hospital presenting with COVID symptoms they get tested. If you pop hot and are unvaccinated, you are sent home with your freedoms, liberties, self reliance, and a pain management pack. People who got vaccinated will have the now heavily unburdened healthcare system dedicated to making them better.
So shut down the trains. If someone is driving to their cabin, there is no reason to stop them. It was always completely irrational to prohibit solitary or family-oriented outdoor activities. They did that around here for a while, in a largely rural state in the US Pacific Northwest region.

Senseless "do something!" edicts like that give a lot of rhetorical ammunition to the denialists and antivaxxers, while doing nothing to address the spread of COVID.
That's fine. Disagreement, in and of itself, isn't a refutation of my point, though.
Hah, I accidentally cleared the post. What do you think now?
> This is why I will never interview for Google or any other company that has multi-stage interviews and also employs time-wasteful, and sometimes esoteric, methods such as "How many jelly beans fit in a school bus?"

Good news: they don't do that any more.

Bad news: you still need to practice the fermi estimation techniques that question employs, but also need to know like, the details of every paper they've published on distributed systems, and bring your own heuristics about computers and email in order to determine how big a GFS cluster you need to launch gmail.

Is that better? I'm not so sure.

The average death rate for people in nursing homes for an entire year wasn't even as high as the death rate was for just a few week period: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-sweden...

Almost ~3200 people died in nursing homes in a couple of months at the beginning of the pandemic. There's ~95k people in nursing homes. That's 3.3%...

These deaths still account for ~1/5th of all Sweden's covid deaths.

Hence, when people say 5x as many people died in Sweden - a full 1x of that is from the early nursing home no-strategy.
In music, you would listen to the mix on different speakers.

That doesn't say anything, it only counts death during one single year: 2020. And concludes that the death rate is excessive during the flu season, compared to not in the flu season.

It expects death rate to be constant over the year, which is wrong.

You need to take the total number of deaths per capita, for 2020, and compare that to the same number for 2019, 2018, 2017 etc. And look at the standard deviation.
I find it ironic that there are plenty comments that paint the picture of how mandatory vaccinations divide the country.

Hello? Have you been awake for the last month? How much more divided can a country already be when the absolute democratic majority has made their decision months ago to take the shot but 30% are holding everyone back. Anyone in my family or from my friends that has taken one for the team (and got vaccinated) could receive worse-than-usual ICU treatment because of some egoistic anti-vaxxers. Hell, even anti-vaxxers benefit from better ICU treatment if vaccination numbers are higher.

Yes, this is a democracy and so it can also be deemed legitimate and representative to govern according to the majority decision. Besides, it's in everyone's best interest to get vaccinated.

Modern peer review praxis is the complete reverse: no fields medal without full disclosure (kinda). There was a pretty embarrassing case with Andrew Wiles first attempt at Fermat I think.

> Also, the willingness to be a nurse has decreased during the last couple months

this was entirely preventable by providing nurses and those keeping hospitals running with the support they need to do suchs jobs during a time of crisis.

In the netherlands for instance, many nurses have been running 12h shifts during the peaks, and there has been very little practical support in helping those people.

I am not even talking about monetary funds, but mainly practical stuff. (for instance, some volunteers decided to do grocery shopping for nurses during peaks).

If people are busting their ass off to prevent the healthcare systems from collepsing, maybe the goverment should have done far more in its power to prevent those people from quitting.
5 tests are 14Eur here, me and my wife test weekly, and our daughter we test every 2-3 days, so we can isolate asap, but none of my neighbours do that. And multiple times people didnt even test with symptoms.

It would cost ~50 euro per family per month, which is quite expensive, but possibly if they use some sort of model to give tests to people with higher probability of getting sick (e.g.
if your child was in a school that got N positive tests recently) maybe it can be reduced to 5 euro per family per month.

Somehow I feel this is a missed opportunity to get things a bit better, I dont think people will infect other people on purpose.
Sure but by the same token I could guess a 256 bit key and decrypt anything I want. The placement of the statistical boundary vs a given adversary compute power is the part we care about, every time.

We’re talking about Germany and France. Right across the water. Sweden had lower deaths in earlier years than their neighboring countries and this was a reversion to the mean. Speaking as a Norwegian people in this country like to look smart but they’re not getting the last laugh this time.
Being willfully unvaccinated signals that you simply don't care about the people you come in contact with. I'm not sure how, exactly, I'm supposed to treat someone well if they won't care if I live or die from something they can prevent.

Yes, I understand the vaccine isn't perfect, but none of them are. Yet here I am, not catching polio and other things because of them. (Polio was less lethal, btw, and some folks were fine - yet others lived out their lives in an iron lung).
Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, north of France and Germany had a closer climate (and more accustomed to heating), that's why I looked up their z-score first.

Nah, what you saying is not realistical. This is more like wishful thinking and would only work in suppressive utopia (if that’s a thing).

We as a society had only one shot at doing a lockdown that could work and it was at the beginning of march 2020. Some countries actually managed to have almost no cases but they had to do harsh lockdowns and everyone needed to comply. After that with 2nd and 3rd waves we have seen less and less countries do lockdowns and people already worn out stopped to comply. Now everything is half assed and on top of that vaccinated people are extremely unwilling to participate in lockdowns as it was promised that vaccines will help us avoid the disaster of lockdowns we have seen earlier (i got vaccinated based on that as many of my friends).

So no. This is not realistical, nope.

20% of the population is, however, behaving stupidly and irrationally and in a very antisocial way. Insulting them is perfectly fine.

Just as with opposition to seatbelts it’s important for politics to create facts and just decide this issue. Everyone should be vaccinated and that’s just how it is.

My current favorite cache for whole pages is a single sqlite file with the page source stored with brotli compression. Additional columns for any metadata you might need (URL, scraping sessionid, age). The resulting file is big (but brotli for this is even better than zstd), and having a single file is very convenient.
Good means many things. Pleasing. Useful. Not just virtuous.

People complaining about resources mean the limited resources of their computers usually. But it does lead to wasted natural resources by making hardware obsolete faster. And wasted financial resources. And slow and inconsistent interfaces waste cognitive resources.

No nonsense means functional. Not ugly.
For fuzzing to be effective you need access to coverage information. If you have the RTL (SystemVerilog or VHDL source) you can verify that you're hitting all the paths and the branches, and use a constraint solver to find paths that increase coverage. If you just have the registers and latches you can see how much of the state you've reached. But if you just have a chip too much of the internal state is unreachable: you'll never find the magic sequence that triggers the badness (if it exists) by random simulation, the heat death of the universe will happen first.
Computing doesn't automate thought. It only automates processing data. In order to process anything, data has to be deliberately loaded from the real world into a computer. And in order for that processing to accomplish anything, a human has to take the results and take action on them.

If you think most social problems stem from people simply not knowing the right thing to do, then, sure, crunching some numbers might help. But my belief is that most social problems come from understanding the people around us, and having the right social structures and psychology to do the right thing. Computers will help with neither of those.

It's like having a nonfunctioning trackpad or display. No amount of software is going to fix that.

Nope. Most asian nations (China most notably) stopped or greatly reduces such imports about 5 years ago. And, even when these imports were happening, its was for reprocessing, not disposal purposes. Yes, if recycled plastics prices precipitously fell then some importers may have dumped the imports, but that was not generally the case. You may also be confusing plastic waste with electronic scrap which contains plastic waste. Here again, those imports have largely stopped.
That's not true. I tried to go to provincial parks in Ontario and they were gated off and closed...

I fondly remember using two monitors with thin bezels one rotated 90° and the other 270°. I think they could be HP M22f. It makes almost a square. Bezels in the middle can be nuisance, but I usually divide windows or splits in the middle. I guess with as thin bezels as possible it should be still cheaper than the mentioned $1429 square monitor. Now I'm tempted to get them. But there are more pressing matters in terms of my setup though.
Did Facebook ban statements of support for Darrell Brooks, of the Waukesha Christmas parade massacre? Legit question, I don't know the answer but if they want to be consistent they should (I'm guessing they don't, and they did not).
The CPU executes the two (or more) dependent instructions "as if" they were one, e.g., in 1 cycle.

The CPU has a frontend, which has a decoder, which is the part that "reads" the program instructions. When it "sees" certain pattern, like "instruction x to register r followed by instruction y consuming r", it can treat this "as if" it was a single instruction if the CPU has hardware for executing that single instruction (even if the ISA doesn't have a name for that instruction).

This allows the people that build the CPU to choose whether this is something they want to add hardware for. If they don't, this runs in e.g. 2 cycles, but if they do then it runs in 1. A server CPU might want to pay the cost of running it in 1 cycle, but a micro controller CPU might not.
I don't see the J Extension on here. Does anyone know what's the state of work of that group?

Question # 1:

Has anyone found a case that actually lets you place a Raspi 4 in a case that can fit a screen, a Powerpack HAT for portablity and either a 3.5" SSD HD or nvme . Because I found one that does each but not all together and it really bums me out because I dont have a printer to make one.

Question #2:

I suppose they can, but that would be a new low to inspect the memory of their competitors processes to monitor traffic. With most chrome traffic SSL, I don’t think they could tell much from the network traffic.

If Microsoft started doing this, it would be a lot of negative attention. Whereas Chrome users haven’t cared about logging stuff for years now.
