Vaccinated are still being hospitalized. How much longer will you buy into the narrative that they are not when so many countries are showing evidence to the contrary.
Sure, it's a great method for understanding causal relationships in the world. It's also a method that humans invented, and it's not proven that some future invented method could not provide as much insight into the world as the scientific method. Calling it the ultimate authority and saying that "here literally can not be a higher authority than it by definition" is hard to defend IMO. Science gets its authority from consensus, right now we all agree that science should be granted authority! But it is clearly lacking as an all encompassing tool for understanding: How does the scientific method teach morality? It's not clear that it even can.
Vaccination does reduce the proportion of people that need ICU beds, but there are pretty rapid diminishing returns on just vaccinating more; countries have reached the point where the majority of Covid patients in their ICUs are vaccinated at well below 100% vaccination. Also, vaccinating younger lower-risk people doesn't help because they're at substantially lower risk of needing the ICU even unvaccinated than someone older or higher-risk who is vaccinated and because the vaccines aren't really useful to stop the spread of the disease either. Countries have generally had significantly higher vaccine acceptance amongst older people who need it more. (Though I think one of the big problems Germany has is their vaccine uptake amongst the elderly is somewhat low compared to other countries.)

The really interesting thing is that marriage is a contract that changes over time (as the government modifies law), without either party re-consenting to the new agreement. It's part of why I will probably never get married, it technically represents infinite risk.
If you need to run a CI server or something, the cost of the hardware itself is not nearly the only cost you have. With this, you have it hooked up in reliable power supply, very good network connectivity and all the other physical concerns abstracted away.

I can't find any data to support your claim of a higher death rate in Denmark than all of 2020. The data I have show:

- Denmark currently experiencing a massive new wave of infections

- Previous large wave of infections was last winter, with rate peaking on Dec 18

- Daily deaths peaked one month later at about 8 per 1000 daily infections

- Current daily deaths, accounting for lag, is also about 8 per 1000 daily infections

Why is liability -- which can only kick in after some damage has been done, possibly displacing someone from their home -- a better solution than a process by which dying/dead trees can be compelled to be removed?

This sounds like the usual libertarian answer to things like "eliminate government food safety inspection"; the idea being that the market would eventually reflect that some restaurants regularly sicken people and would then go out of business. Why is it better to let people be sickened, even if they can later sue, than put some stops up on risky behavior in the first place?

For both tree hazards and food safety, it's not a surprise when something is risky, even if you can't predict exactly when someone will have their house smashed by a falling tree. Why wait for the damage to be done?
But you could make the same argument against the egg-beater. It's only used a few minutes. The fact that it takes 5x as long to make a hole doesn't really count in its favour. And good luck drilling a hole in a wall with an egg-beater drill.

Your average Catholic, for example, isn't going to be especially knowledgeable about liturgy, much less theology.

1 year ago, we thought that people would actually get vaccinated at a reasonable rate, instead of dragging their feet long enough for multiple more-infectious variants to appear.
In my experience, many data engineers and data scientists know nothing about software engineering, unless they've had a previous life as a coder. Most data engineers who claim they know python really only know pandas, and many couldn't implement fizzbuzz without a library.

I was out around the G Line, and not for a long trip but it definitely seemed to be working there. The traffic complaints are always amusing because it really shows how people don't want to accept that the current system just doesn't work. I grew up in Ventura and have family around LA, and there have been so many road projects which made traffic better for maybe as much as 6 months until usage increased to match.
They mentioned the main use case when they launched the initial Mac ec2 instances.

Any company that does something on iOS/macos needs mac hardware to run builds on, there is no other (legal) option. The status quo (even at very large companies) is some mac mini's under someones desk/in a closet somewhere.

This is basically replacing the cost of that setup (ie the oncall for it/hassle). The AWS service is even more expensive than things like MacStadium because you also get AWS network connectivity and other features.

Stocks drop for all sorts of reasons, and stuff like breach notifications are routinely swamped by other (often macro) causes. But nerds love to believe that security stories have powerful impacts on stocks, despite the fact that the most successful companies routinely experience them.
Good to know that to works for you!

This is a bit of a backburner project for me, and there's still quite a lot of userspace code that remains to be ported (in addition to doing spl* properly). I'd love to (eventually) get around to making it self-hosting. That'll be a chunk of work (an assembler and a linker would be needed), but it'd be a good state to leave things in.
Being able to select desktops/workspaces per screen is half the solution.

The other half is allowing the selection to come from a pool of desktops/workspaces common to all screens. i.e. the opposite of what i3 and Sway do.

So given desktops/workspaces a, b and c and screens 1 and 2, the following combinations are possible:

1: a; 2: b

1: a; 2: a

1: c; 2: a

I bet on the order of 71% of Germans supported mandatory discrimination against undesirables in 1940 too, but here we are yet again, claiming that what a majority of the population supports is indicative of moral correctness.

If these measures don't work, like literally every authoritarian measure undertaken by governments so far, maybe Germany can put all the un-vaccinated into camps, too. We need to keep the unpure away from us.

Sure, the R0 value of the contagion amongst a 100% vaccinated population is still >1.0, and there are early indications that Omicron has a sufficiently mutated spike protein as to render the vaccine immune response ineffective, but why let epidemiological facts stand in the way of exercising power over one's inferiors?

I’m not vaccinated, this is how I feel. I am not militant or political about it. My wife and whole family are vaccinated and I helped them to do it. As a young man, the risk of heart issues does indeed outweigh the risk of hospitalisation from the virus (as I’ve weighed it, anyhow). Victoria, Australia has hit 90% double vaccinated and case numbers have not changed here. To see this underwhelming effect in light of the anxiety the mandatory vaccination has caused, it is sad. I am lucky enough to be studying remotely, and so I just stay at home, I don’t go out other than to exercise in a park. I am not able to go anywhere with my wife right now (shopping, restaurants etc.), which is difficult, but it was my choice. If I am further forced to undergo vaccination I’m really not sure what I would do. I would want to leave Australia and live somewhere that I can have my own decisions. I don’t care if you think I’m selfish. Where did freedom of choice go? I’d like to move where it’s gone.
Thank god...

It takes roughly about one generation for a population to get conditioned to think the government will bail them out. One great depression and the majority of that generation will make it their goal to get a government in place that will "bail" them out. It's humans being humans. There is no technology or legal or society you can build that won't degenerate in that way or get wholesale replaced because they are all built and used by humans.

> People don’t get infected while shopping.

What's so special about shopping that it prevents transmission of a relatively communicable disease?
My understanding is it's not going to prevent transmission but it can help in reducing transmissions, thus reducing infections.

It’s horrible when you have small children being above people.

Kids are noisy, they walk hard and jump a lot. You can lecture /punish all you want. That doesn’t change their nature.

For a time we were apologizing to the grouchy old lady living alone below us in a 3 bedroom. Hitting ceiling with broom at every noise.
But at a certain point. Look 3 bedrooms are for people with family. I’m not going to force a 2 year to sit still 24 hours a day.

After one absurd ceiling episode we started family jumping exercises for every broom whack.

The story is not about "power" vs. "powerless." I know that's how people like to analyze everything these days, but this ain't it.

It's about "smug and arrogant and thinks he knows" vs. "really does know." That's why it's an evergreen.

A favorite example is in Annie Hall where a smug guy is explaining Marshall McLuhan to his date, and Woody drags out the real McLuhan to tell the guy he's full of it.
You say that as though Design By Committee isn't a thing.
That it's the ultimate authority doesn't mean you should always believe it. It's just the best we've got. It's the best thing about science is that it's explicit about the bounds of what we know and don't know.

You don't ask a scientist what you should do, you ask a scientist what they think is true, and what the options are and what their estimated outcomes are. It's always you yourself who make the decision.

Regardless if there was junk science in the early 1900s (don't know much about it but wouldn't be surprised), it was people who decided to sterilize people. Just as it's people who decide to kill people for Jesus Christ or Allah or whatever excuse they come up with.

Even if the science were true, and some subset of Americans is less intelligent or more violent or whatever, it still wouldn't change the fact that now we've decided that eugenics is unethical. We embrace diversity because that's what aligns to our values. Maybe if we're in the middle of famine and war our values will shift again. The authority of science has nothing to do with it.
Charles Marohn Talks at Google
The argument always is that there are not enough beds for non-corona patients. More beds would certainly help.

It is nonsense to vaccinate young and very healthy people, especially kids. Their risk from COVID is minimal to non-existent.

Also the spread is not stopped by vaccinating. Vaccinated still spread the virus. If it is reduced is still unclear. There was a study in GB that showed the incidence numbers in vaccinated was just as high or higher than in unvaccinated. The sample sizes of vaccinated and unvaccinated were equal as they should be. Reports in Germany about these numbers forget to mention that vaccinated people are basically not tested.

> The vaccines work well and are safe.

They do not work well enough. First of all people still transmit the virus after only about 2 months after the vaccination. Then the protection goes down extremely between 2-6 months after the vaccination (that is why we need boosters all the time). It is still unclear if we continue to need boosters after the third shot.

Hmmm... I think this argument is solid. Albeit biased from GMP's perspective, but bignums are used all the time in RSA / ECC, and probably other common tasks, so maybe its important enough to analyze at this level.

2-instructions to work with 64-bits, maybe 1 more instruction / macro-op for the compare-and-jump back up to a loop, and 1 more instruction for a loop counter of somekind?

So we're looking at ~4 instructions for 64-bits on ARM/x86, but ~9-instructions on RISC-V.

The loop will be performed in parallel in practice however due to Out-of-order / superscalar execution, so the discussion inside the post (2 instruction on x86 vs 7-instructions on RISC-V) probably is the closest to the truth.

----------

Question: is ~2-clock ticks per 64-bits really the ideal? I don't think so. It seems to me that bignum arithmetic is easily SIMD. Carries are NOT accounted for in x86 AVX or ARM NEON instructions, so x86, ARM, and RISC-V will probably be best.

I don't know exactly how to write a bignum addition loop in AVX off the top of my head. But I'd assume it'd be similar to the 7-instructions listed here, except... using 256-bit AVX-registers or 512-bit AVX512 registers.

So 7-instructions to perform 512-bits of bignum addition is 73-bits-per-clock cycle, far superior in speed to the 32-bits-per-clock cycle from add + adc (the 64-bit code with implicit condition codes).

AVX512 is uncommon, but AVX (256-bit) is common on x86 at least: leading to ~36-bits-per-clock tick.

----------

ARM has SVE, which is ambiguous (sometimes 128-bits, sometimes 512-bits). RISC-V has a bunch of competing vector instructions.

..........

Ultimately, I'm not convinced that the add + adc methodology here is best anymore for bignums. With a wide-enough vector, it seems more important to bring forth big 256-bit or 512-bit vector instructions for this use case?

EDIT: How many bits is the typical bignum? I think add+adc probably is best for 128, 256, or maybe even 512-bits. But moving up to 1024, 2048, or 4096 bits, SIMD might win out (hard to say without me writing code, but just a hunch).

2048-bit RSA is the common bignum, right? Any other bignums that are commonly used? EDIT2: Now that I think of it, addition isn't the common operation in RSA, but instead multiplication (and division which is based on multiplication).

The leadership sitting on a board with a mandatory retirement age at 65 who is 64 will lobby all involved to change that rule to keep going to 70. The terms are negotiable. You would have to think in our time of climate crisis that using 7 or 8 hours of a 24 hour slot and wasting all that energy for 16 hours is not something the law firm that negotiated the terms would be embarrassed by. To make it right, a regulator could force Apple to limit the rental minimum slot time according a labor board's idea of a programming work day at 7 to 16 hours and not 24.

I don’t think this is too far from the survival rate of those admitted to intensive care in general.

But I think the point is that COVID really increases your chances of being admitted there in the first place.
It's much more expensive now to build a large index (50B+ pages)

Do you have a cost estimate? Also could you be more selective in indexing, e.g. by having users requests sites to be crawled.
Gibraltar's economy is tourism- and travel-centric. Just using the population of people who live there full-time doesn't capture anything about the disease spread or vaccinations with temporary visitors (upwards of five million per year).
> It's a complete tragedy, the answer is right there. Just do the same thing they did then, but today.

The problem is that building like that has been outlawed with euclidean zoning.
The other thing that doesn't show the whole story is using a data set starting in March when there was a quite low percent vaccinated but comparing totals of unvaxxed vs. vaxxed deaths over the whole period, when fully vaxxed in March was only a few percent.

It'd be much more interesting to see a straight comparison over Oct-Nov, say, when the vaccination rate was stable and get the unvaxxed vs 1 shot vs 2 shot vs 2 weeks after 2nd shot vs booster numbers.
COVID is referring to a specific coronavirus, I hope it will go extinct relatively quickly.

That said coronavirus have long been one of the causes of the common cold and occasionally cause diseases of significant concern like SARS, COVID, etc. That’s likely around for the long haul unless some massive medical breakthroughs show up.
Ask HN: Do you have some well written resources on how to learn K8s as a dev?
I want to learn K8s but I have 2 constraints:

- I’m a developer so I don’t want to deploy or administrate a cluster myself, I just want to learn how to deploy and manage my pods

- I want well written resources, specifically NO VIDEOS, and not necessarily something interactive (I’m not fond of the examples using Katacoda on the official documentation, I find it pretty frustrating)

I found some resources but it’s a bit hard to know their quality. Do you have recommendations?

It's really hard to sympathize with people fighting for the "right" to infect me with a disease.
This is simply not true.

Don’t get me wrong. I fully support everyone getting vaccinated, and requiring it broadly. But your statement is just not true.

Omicron is thought to have evolved in an immunocompromised person. Vaccinating that person would not have helped. COVID-19 is also known to cross easily between humans and other animals. An alternate theory is that the startling number of mutations in the Omicron variant evolved in an animal host.

This variant appears to defeat previous immunity both from prior infection and vaccination. The willfully unvaccinated, while idiots and selfish assholes are not to blame in our current troubles and vaccinating every person on earth would not have prevented the Omicron outbreak.

Furthermore we need to take a global view. Just because we have sufficient doses to fully vaccine everyone in Europe we’re not protected unless everyone everywhere gets vaccinated. (And even then pockets of virus can mutate and overcome the vaccine) I’ll worry more about idiot Texans (who are frankly mostly hurting themselves and their families) when we provide enough doses to Bangladesh to vaccinate their whole population. (And rinse and repeat for every developing nation)
Experts had all kinds of wrong opinions on lab leak too
This is exactly simpsons paradox. It is a shame so few people have heard of it!

This same breakdown implies that vaccinating half of the currently unvaxxed would do a lot to reduce pressure on hospitals. That is, if you have 80% vaxxed, a mere 10% increase could halve the number of hospital beds needed. No wonder governments are going so hard on vaccinating the hesitant and antivax.
Its a global pandemic where a small percentage follow antiwax conspiracy. I mean an iduvidual choice might endanger others. Thus its induvidual choice versus the good for the masses.
