>Please can you provide some sources for the childhood IFR of the common cold? I can't find anything myself. I suspect your numbers are very wrong.
Please also provide sources for subsequent reinfection (as opposed to vaccination) being less severe.

I agree that it is hard to find IFR/CFR for the common cold. You can use total influenza death to get a sense for a lower bound.

This paper[1] puts total H1N1 Mortality at 6/100,00ok per year for <18 year olds and CFR at ~20/100,000K

This paper[2] puts the total population mortality for flu at ~0.15/100K for <18 year olds

this paper [3] also puts CFR for flu like symptoms in single digits x/100K for <18 year olds.

>Please also provide sources for subsequent reinfection (as opposed to vaccination) being less severe.

There are many sources available for this one. This Israeli analysis [4] of 2.5 million individuals found that breakthrough infections were 7.13-fold higher in Vaccinated individuals than covid recovered individuals. Hospitalizations were 6.7-fold higher in vaccinated individuals than recovered.

Of course it is better to get vaccinated than get covid the first time, but this demonstrates that natural infection immunity is very robust.

>Lockdowns have certainly worked in China (20% of the world's population), so it is possible, if we choose it.

Lockdowns and vaccination have helped control covid in china. They have not eradicated covid in China. This supports my point that covid will be endemic.

great share, thank you!
We've entered a culture fueled by indignation, where every apparent slight contradiction is waved like a flag and denounced as a conspiracy.

Reality is nuanced. That's all been lost in public discourse. Because there's no thrill in that.
I worked in medical devices, and that is correct. Much of the work I did in the QA dept would not have improved the product or safety, but some of it clearly did. Can't say for medicines, as they had a different set of regs from devices.
The media really needs to slow their roll, a lot. Two people having breakthrough infections for any variant is not at all unlikely, and this is absolutely not evidence that Omicron is more likely to lead to breakthrough infections. In fact it would only be actually newsworthy if Omicron _didn’t_ break through.

And the pointless emotional fact that they are doctors, as if any virus considers ones CV. And the excessive use of “probably” in this story.

I get that COVID was a ~bane~ (I meant boon) for the news industry and that people scared shitless are more likely to click but this shit is getting borderline irresponsible.
He is both fortunate and unfortunate. Must have a very difficult fifteen years.

It's actually very common for subreddits to eventually get owned or controlled by the industry leaders and then begin censorship campaigns. One of the most blatant examples of this is /r/bitcoin where any discussion of alternative scaling strategies except 1MB blocks with Layer 2 on top will earn you a ban.
Day in the life of a crypto-fueled future
I found out the food bank I had been giving to pays their CEO (or executive director, I forget) more than $350k a year. To be fair, Their budget is more than 90 million dollars but it seems absurd that a not-for-profit CEO needs that kind of salary. Anyway, I've decided to donate to a Catholic church 2 blocks from where I live. I saw them handing out food during covid and they have a food bank just a couple blocks away from the church where I regularly see lines out the door.
The idea, perhaps inadventerily proposed by US constitution, is that citizens have rights with corollary that prisoners and non-citizens don't. It is nauseating how acceptable it is that non-citizens and prisoners are not entitled to pursuits of happiness. It's one thing to punish murderers so harshly and quite another thing to roll up shoplifters into same groups and strip them of virtually all of their rights.
I'd appreciate you not calling me stupid. I could say that your attitude here comes across like a 14-year-old whose parents told him he won't be getting a new GPU for Christmas.

The 10k number was just an example, is there a number you could substitute that you think makes my point less effective? Please do.

> I just cannot believe what protest there is against doing a basic good deed, trying to fight pernicious forces off. What makes you feel so strongly this way?

I think your opinion here is fundamentally wrong-headed and short-circuiting the market in the manner you are advocating for causes worse outcomes for everyone in the long term, and often in markets that are a lot more important than GPUs and PC gaming. So I get a little bit of satisfaction from pushing back against this viewpoint where I can.
The sample photos are impressive.
if they are so bad, why competitors don't get a bigger market share? And if you think there are no competitors, you should know that there are bing, duckduckgo, that are basically the same engine
and foreign search engines that successfully compete with Google is their domestic markets(yandex in Russia, Baidu in China and a few less successful others) all of them would be able to get at least some US market share in case google slipped
This is basically spongey glue (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogel) not really synthetic tissue. They're porous to provide a matrix or scaffold for cells to grow in, but this one is resilient enough to hold up in areas of high repeated mechanical stress. I wouldn't think lab meat would be an analog because it would lack the desired mechanical properties. Maybe if lab meat growers were were able to quickly breed a person's own induced pluripotent stem cells and seed the hydrogel with them?
This is an awesome write up. I love reading these warts and all accounts - they're always way more useful than the typical case study "we switched to X and it saved us Y%!" marketing posts.

One point that makes Intel not look quite so bad performance wise - based on my own benchmarking, I'm pretty sure when this article talks about cores they actually mean vCPUs. In AWS on x86, 1 vCPU is 1 hyperthread, so it's kind of half a core. On Graviton 2, 1 vCPU is one full core, the CPUs don't have hyperthreading. This means that you need 10 Intel cores to do the same work as 16 Graviton cores, not 20. This of course doesn't change the cost savings from switching to arm64.
Did you look at any of the other solutions such as fq? 300 bytes is a solidly small size. I’m guessing Kafka has gotten faster since this doc was published, but might be worth investigating.

When you fire a gun, you should 1000% be aware of not just your target but what is behind your target and the potential ramifications of destroying what is behind it.

It is completely reasonable to make them keep in mind all the potential and direct effects of their actions.

I think it would be beneficial for them to find alternative ways of catching a bad guy than busting down doors. It's a completely unnecessary escalation far more often than not.
Oh great! A shit coin to run infrastructure that doesn’t accept the shitcoin. Very sustainable.

Adding in indirect/offset/lookups/indexes etc - I've gotten surprisingly far.

I'm also OK doing VBA BUT the MAJOR downside of VBA - horrendous to share it and got worse over time for security reasons.

Excel without VBA - you can give the "program" to anyone, and almost anyone can use it (and in a pinch change it).
that one's legit, I love it
I never made any claims comparing covid to the common cold. Just Covid to the Flu and pox.

If you look it up, you can let me know.
They did not really offer ‘placement’ per se, or anything like a job fair with companies lined up to hire new grads.

They do focus on interviewing skills and the job search in the last week of the program. After that, they offer job search support/counseling for up to six months after graduation.

We had daily check ins with a job search counselor to keep on task and could use the HR support network of instructors and alums for feedback on take home coding challenges and general interview prep. It’s as good as it could have been.

After three months, I would guess about 80% of my cohort had been offered positions. But don’t count on being in that 80%. You’ll need to budget for six months of job searching.

I understand they now have a whole other course just for dealing with the coding interview, but that was not available to me at the time.
We’ll all be well dead before this becomes available to us.
Well to some extent metastability is a result of having a clock (and the tiny feedback loops that we embed in synchronous flops to create storage) - instead you use logic structures that are designed to be asynchronous and that can adjust their timing to not have these issues
How is this relevant to the conversation? Did you see salt grain and assume it was a dupe?
i agree with you, but i am having a lot of difficulty convincing most people i know that the current vaccines are leaky. i find most people still consider the current vaccines to neutralize the virus and they often begin to question why i don't understand how vaccines work...

I would not go as far as calling it very naive, there has certainly been some work put into optimizing performance within the current design.

There are probably some gains to be had by using a different storage format for the IR though as proposed in [1], but it is difficult to say how much of a difference that will make in practice.

I have to say, it's lazy to call an idea stupid with no explanation. That's ok if you're talking to a friend you know very well, who you are comfortable being lazy with, and vice versa. If you don't have that relationship, it's being an asshole.

Just as easy to say, that doesn't make sense because X.

Taking the government for a ride is expected behavior if the government let's itself be taken for a ride.

The government can change and enforce laws as well as set the parameters when it funds private research.

This reminds me of the sham privatizations that occurred after the immediate collapse of the Soviet Union where the transferred public resources to the private sector.
This reeks of "b..b..but think of the children" levels of discussion.

The West, at the very least, allows people on prime time TV to insult even the highest-ranking leaders in the most dirty and savage ways imagined. This is cathartic.

That China doesn’t allow this is a sign of deep insecurity. If you think both sides have a conspiracy of elites that manipulate everything for their own ends, at least in the US we can have TV hosts point it out without fear of torture. Is that not proof of moral superiority?
The problem is that when you compile code you can have things like constant propagation make it so that your breakpoint just isn't in the compiled code. Finding the right balance to make it look like your code is running the way you expect is really hard.
This is just the camera mechanism itself, not a recording or transmitting device nor, as sister comment points out, a power source. So, a few more steps to smart dust.

First, there’s a vast difference between the state department and the pentagon. Lumping those two together just reflects an unsophisticated understanding of the federal government. Signal has never received any state department or pentagon money. Tor had a significant early contribution from a researcher at Naval Research. That’s the extent of any pentagon funding. They have received significant state department funding, but to call the state department “warmongers” is just not accurate.
I think China is probably worse. I'll give you that. I think you underestimate how much birth is destiny in the USA. You'd be amazed at how many rags to riches stories in the US are just attempts to be relatable by people who actually come from extreme privilege.

Even a lot of successful musicians and actors are only able to attain success because of a safety net in the form a wealthy parents.
In modern Fortran you don't need a loop either. The code to compute the norm of a vector of a billion integers starting with zero is

program main
implicit none
integer , parameter :: n = 10**9
double precision, allocatable :: x(:)
integer :: i
allocate (x(n))
forall (i=1:n) x(i) = dble(i-1)
print*,sqrt(sum(x**2))
end program main
Why the second one is terrifying?

Two possibilities exist: either aliens can reach us or they cannot. If they cannot, it's sad. If they can, they are already so advanced that they need nothing from a small blue speck of dust in the vast Space that we call Earth.
All the books I read cite plenty of studies, including the one I mentioned, which is why I call it "one step above scientific studies", but you get called a whacko nonetheless if you or the author hold any opinions even moderately outside of the mainstream dialogue / mainstream medicine.

My original comment on this thread is at -1 even though what I said was factually correct (and I found all my linked sources above via exactly what I said, a quick Google search). Another of my comments on this post has the classic reply "ah but the author of your study has been accused of quackery if I google his name".

So I'd say a bit more open-mindedness would be in order.
I was getting sick of my TV nagging about a firmware update that I didn't want to do, so I used Access Restrictions on my router to block it from accessing anything outside my LAN.

That was a good solution for me because I can still use the inbuilt apps for playing local media from my NAS, but no possibility of firmware "upgrades", ads or firmware "upgrades" that include ads.

I haven't used it myself, but my understanding was that it relies on two things to keep data safe:

* Postgres has a pretty extensive role/permission system that PostgREST uses to prevent users from accessing rows they're not supposed to see: https://postgrest.org/en/v9.0/auth.html#users-and-groups

* The tables aren't necessarily what you want to expose anyway, you can prevent access to tables directly and use functions and views as the interface instead: https://postgrest.org/en/v9.0/schema_structure.html#function...
Voltage supply levels vary a little bit from country to country and modern PSUs are built to accommodate that. My laptop PSU for example will take anything from 100V to 240V, at either 50Hz or 60Hz.
It is both. The last time we had very free experimentation (read: disregard for human life and suffering) we got the Nazis, the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, MKUltra, etc.. So institutions swung strongly in the opposite direction (the visible ones, at least), giving us Institutional Review Boards and such. The balance is impossible to get right either way, hence the need for Right to Try and so on.
I thought vaccines work to stop the transmission/infection?

You were doing fine until you said "slow". It's trivially easy to tune a decent ICE[1] for ridiculous power. The speed differential between ICE and EV is even more severe over longer performance-driving distances; no one is setting Cannonball Run[2] or Nürburgring[3] records in a Tesla, for example. EVs are good at high altitude though.[4]

[1]My personal favorites: turbocharged inline-6s ( BMW B58, Toyota 2JZ & 1JZ) and naturally aspirated V8s (GM aluminum small block family).

[2]currently ~25h36m for an Audi S6 vs 42h17m for a Tesla Model S

[3]currently 6m52s for a Lamborghini Huracan Performante vs 7m35s for a Tesla Model S Plaid

[4]A Volkswagen EV holds the Pike's Peak Hill Climb record, and it is unlikely to lose it to an ICE vehicle due to the power loss caused by the thinner air at altitude.
Exactly. To be perfectly honest, if Omicron had 100% breakthrough rate but still was 95% effective at preventing severe disease and hospitalization, that is still amazing. In the developed world where vaccines are incredibly easy to obtain, we need to move on.

Yes we need to protect the people who can’t receive a vaccine, and we need to help the world distribute the vaccine but we need to stop this constant state of emergency
Exploiting Vulnerabilities in the .TO TLD to Takeover Tether, Google, and Amazon
I would love to see an open-source x86 Microcode (or x86 subset Microcode) which would enable a separate open-source RISC CPU (i.e., https://opencores.org/projects?expanded=Processor) to run x86 instructions, or a subset of x86 instructions...

Perhaps the path to such an endeavor is simply taking an existing open-source FPGA RISC CPU (RISC-V would be a good choice) -- and then trying to implement a single x86 instruction in open-source Microcode, on it...

Success?

Well, then let's try another x86 instruction! Eventually we'll have a few!

If this or other x86 microcodes are copyrighted and/or patent-protected, what could occur is that a new microcode format (non-copyright or patent infringing) could be defined during this process...

Also, an x86 subset FPGA "Soft" CPU -- would never be as fast or as instruction-complete as current Intel or AMD CPU's...

In other words, such devices would be for hobbyist and/or educational use only -- they wouldn't compete with current Intel or AMD CPU's...
give it a rest already...
Maybe for some, but not for the majority. I don't view my dollars as assets. I view my dollars as a way to get goods and services (mostly as a way to pay bills). I don't hold on to dollars if I expect the value to rise (I don't really have a choice), like most people, I live paycheck to paycheck paying for a roof over the heads of my kids and food in their bellies.

The only people I know who "hold" fiat currency either are ridiculously rich, are single with no serious responsibilities or when I was in the Navy, there was scheme thing going around that to get rich quick enough to get out the Navy and fuck off for the rest of days, day trade foreign currency (didn't really work out for anyone).

Microsoft Natural and its derivatives is an excellent ergonomic keyboard.

Replacing QWERTY is simply hard.

However, adjusting to a Kinesis Advantage also took me several weeks. Although the layout is the same, the keyboard is feels different enough that learning a different key layout might be possible.

Posture matters a lot in ergonomics, and in particular screen height. Raising the screen to eye level reduces neck pain. I adopted piano posture and have less strain on my limbs.

That is why I will never understand typing on a laptop open at 120-degree angle where the keyboard is angled upward and the screen is at keyboard level. That’s the worst of both worlds.

Merely raising the laptop screen to eye level and using an external keyboard makes it far more comfortable.

Assuming you aren’t a troll, nobody has ever said that the vaccine was 100% effective and anyone who you may claim said so was lying.

And Fauci is nearly 80 I assume he would rather eat dinner at 4 PM and watch Jeopardy than have me fellate him
Think about the consequences of what you said. We can never know unless we get involved. It is too complex. So the door for criticism is shut and only the people inside the government can possibly know the intricacies and therefore have the right to criticize. This is also a classic defeatist perspective - we can never fix this, it is too complicated.
Borderline? It's far beyond that by now.
That's mostly but not strictly true, possibly depending on your definition. One example of analog encryption would be there was a system around WWII times where noise from a phonograph was added to a call to avoid evesdropping, and then on the receiving end it was subtracted out using a specially synchronized phonograph.

Another that I'm not sure on exactly, but back when TV was analog, there were some channels designed not to be watchable without paying. Not sure how those worked, it may technically qualify.
I get an error 403 message through this link.
It's actually because the antennas need protection from various things like birds and weather, or the antenna itself is classified. Most of those giant radomes are for active or passive radar rather than satellite connections while the satellite antennas are much smaller.
