Hospitals have never been anywhere near collapse in most places though. Currently in Finland for example there's currently hysteria about the hospital capacity, whereas in actuality the issue is that some non-critical surgery would need to be postponed. It's far from "collapsing".

> We don't need deregulation. We need better designed regulation.

This is the key point. So many debates about "more X" vs. "less X" when what we mostly need is "better X". Anti-Covid measures; almost any sort of "security"; government programs of all sorts. And, yes, very much regulation.

Scott Alexander has had some nice riffs on this theme, though I can't come up with a specific link at the moment.

No. What he's saying is that there are 'distributed' aspects like two people deciding on a price for something. Not everyone has to agree on that price and that's fine! That's how markets work.

But we do need rules like if I give you money for something and then you tell me to get lost... that I have some recourse. Everyone needs to roughly agree to those rules.
That's why we have automatic stabilizers like ngdp targeting, which the Fed has recently embraced.
What we need is a net neutrality doctrine on the server side. Bandwidth is hardly scarce outside of AWS's business model. Ban the crawler user-agent dominance by the big search engine players. "Good behaviour" should be enforced via rate limiting that equally applies to all crawlers, without exemption for certain big players.

It's string processing.

NLP is actually understanding the language. Stemming is simple string matching.

Playing the technicality game to stretch fields to encompass everything you think even marginally related isn't being thorough or inclusive; it's being bloated, and losing track of the meaning of the term.

Splitting on spaces also isn't NLP.
Right. Bing switched to this method as well, as did Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and pretty much every other company that has the ML resources to do this. They obviously had a good reason to do so, beyond assumptions.
I'm not sure if its official. Would love some more guidance/clarity/docs/funding from the django foundation on what it looks like to migrate legacy code to the new ways.

The rednaks repo works great for just giving the new async stuff a go. If everything else is also using async.

I did some experimentation with this. And its a pain trying to migrate a production application that uses gevent and psycogreen2.

The documentation on the code migration path is pretty sparse.

The main hiccup that I ran into was psycogreen2 not being supported.

https://github.com/rednaks/django-async-orm/discussions/9
https://github.com/rednaks/django-async-orm/discussions/6

Everything works great if everything is already using the regular threading and asyncio/async methods, or JUST gevent/psycogreen.

The django documentation suggests mounting WSGI into ASGI.

But, it breaks down immediately going between the two paradigms.

I put a little experiment together a bit ago to see what would work in production, and my results.

Maybe a “stability factor” could be calculated. Whereas earlier new content was king, I now value a stable long term source of information. So domain age + page age + content variability + dependency on ads. That might give more honest sources a go.
I do like the idea that instead of crawling and indexing, the next generation search will likely be more like a federated community search app that indexes the stuff members actually read. Google search isn't so much a repository as a consensus about what's important, hence why it's so politicized to the point of becoming unreliable, but also why it too is vulnerable to disruption.

Imo, 2005 google got initial traction because of its tech forum post indexing, as I remember my switch to it was because it became an extension and then replacement for manpages. In that sense, what made it good was it reflected the consensus of what its incredibly influential userbase thought was important and just managed that really well. The demographic impact of the U.S. Gen X all using it at once didn't hurt either.

The equivalent today, as a lot of us say, is that blockchains are in the 1997 internet phase, and the service that makes the content of those as navigable as the 90's internet, will likely grow in a similar way.

Search that provides young people with privacy and freedom to pursue their true interests will be the dominant strategy. Its success will be because it's a product that rides growth, and not because it "solved a problem." Imo, we all index too much on the privacy pattern because the freedom pattern is too risky.

What's changed since that time are the maturity of things like Bloom and other probabilistic filters, Apple's private set intersection, differential privacy, zksnarks, and everybody you'd ask an opinion from now gets their content through mobile devices. Apple's ecosystem is equipped to do this kind of search, but they're too exposed politically to get into it. Meta will likely go there, but nobody's going to trust them willingly.

A protocol that generated a cryptograpically strong anonymous index from your browsing - and instead of putting it on google's servers, it was on a chain, or the content index information and its evolving consensus score was included in something like a DNS record - may still unseat these ensconced interests. IPFS and other P2P or torrents might do something like that as well. Blockchains maybe good for that consensus/desire score.

It's not something you architect and design top down that has to solve all cases, it will be just another useful product that grows while riding a demographic change. It would be on the level of inventing HTML/HTTP again, which, when you think about it, was just another dude making a thing he needed.

Are you just making shit up? According to the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, extreme events are up 74% for 2000 to 2019 vs 1980 - 1999. And "Much of the difference is explained by a rise in climate-related disasters including extreme weather events: from 3,656 climate-related events (1980-1999) to 6,681 climate-related disasters in the period 2000-2019. And "The last twenty years have seen the number of major floods more than double, from 1,389 to 3,254, while the incidence of storms grew from 1,457 to 2,034. Floods and storms were the most prevalent events."

Vietnam has low obesity and has one of the higher fatality rates.

I’d argue it’s all about how Covid deaths are counted and how widespread testing is.

Having worked in healthcare attributing a cause of death is not easy in many cases. There are underlying factors and comorbidities.

In Singapore pneumonia deaths were typically 4,000 per year. That went down dramatically with covid. Why? Because they died of covid not pneumonia.

Biden is a Nazi. And a white supremist.

Ok, but seriously, if anyone is keeping a list, add this to successful Trump policies he ate shit for that proved effective and now his political opponents have to accept them, or cause more self inflicted wounds by not accepting them.

The problem is Biden doesn't have the mean words that Trump does, and he isn't going to push this policy hard in the news. It may help, but he has to tell migrants to screw off because they aren't welcome for this point to be truly effective. And he words are saying come to America.

By all means, if there are stories about the positive impacts of FB on society, please post them! I don’t think HN would downvote those the same way that it would download Anti-vax articles. I think pro-FB articles aren’t posted because they don’t exist because FB is legitimately a bad actor with no moral compass. No conspiracy needed.
On HN there is often: A comment about Rust would catch this (sometimes sarcastic), an explanation about how the bug isn't "really" memory safety and so Rust wouldn't catch it, followed by a comment explaining actually Rust does catch it.

The recent Linux mutex security bug is an example. That's not a memory safety bug. Surely Rust doesn't help? But Rust's mutual exclusion design relies on the Rust type system to give us safer locks, in Rust you protect things by having "lock the mutex" be the way you get the reference to the protected object. Thus when the faulty code locks the wrong mutex in Rust it would get the wrong object, and either not compile (you lock variable A and then you're trying to change B but you don't even have B) or not work (you always lock variable A, then change variable A, but your code should change B, it does not work, trivially reproducible bug in your code)

Yeah that's a good comment, and you can see from the replies why somebody would want to post that anonymously (the replies are basically "you are lying").

I'm happy to endorse that comment using my real-world identity.

Facebook does not do "hypertargeting". The marginal cost of running text processing on messages or image processing on photos for specific users exceeds the value of that information for targeting by many orders of magnitude. Facebook literally cannot afford to "listen to your conversations".

The way I typically explain targeted advertising is something like this. You go to a website, you put something in your cart, but you don't buy. Facebook shows you an ad for that website the next day, you go back and buy the thing in your cart. That basic pattern probably accounts for 20-30% of ad revenue for Facebook, and the only "personal information" required is that you recently visited a particular website. The next 70-80% is similarly banal stuff, like "you're the sort of person who buys outdoor gear and you're likely to buy this quarter".
I used to use the exact opposite. Wide, Tall, Wide.

Left was browser (with tree style tabs to the side), middle was Emacs, and right was everything else (mostly terminals).

Having a tall code editor was nice as it provides more context in a file. And with a maximum of 120 columns per line, width was not an issue.

But having Emacs on a wide monitor allows me to edit two files side to side, which I ended up preferring (one above another is not as nice). I just use two wide monitors now.

I see. I used a laptop with two external monitors at 0° and 90° for a while, but I ended going out of my way to avoid the top half of the 90° because it strained my neck too much.

Not always. If you have thousands of containers running, the network cost* for changing the base image is massive because each instance needs possibly all new layers, not just the last layer or 2. Having a smaller base image is very practical at this point.

The way the article cites "The Tyranny of Structurelessness" is slightly off base. The essay argues that lack of structure is not an effective way to dismantle hierarchies, because it merely masks them instead of dismantling them.

A few trends I am seeing are:

1. Initial Exchange Offerings (IEO) are specifically excluding US participants, and sometimes Canada and China based participants.

2. The US regulations are inadequate for legitimate smaller companies that want to bootstrap, requiring time-consuming legal applications to the SEC that may not get final approval - not a trend really, but more of a reinforced reality.

It makes more sense for an entrepreneur to bootstrap a company outside the US and avoid any US touchpoints, if you want to bypass the mechanics of VC capitalization, SEC friction and address a market need that will not result in a unicorn.
