This is the same argument my Germany friends made (and used to get fake vaccination certificates). The studies say it’s not effective after 3 months!! People that are vaccinated get infected again!! I’m young and healthy!!

Yes people get reinfected but how many die from it or run into serious conditions? Vaccines don’t block the virus from entering your body, but they help with you not dying or using up ICU beds, even after those 3 months.

Please do your part of the swarm and get vaccinated. If you know you’ll have a odd reaction you can prepare in advance. Also Germany has sick-leave from work everywhere.

I am gonna check that out because I really want to make this idea in my head and can never find the right stuff for it and I know for a fact someone has already made this time and time again.

Doesn't matter. It'd be one thing if I was talking about some cheap Chinese Android phone, but I'm not. It's Windows. It's supposed to be the pinnacle of Microsoft. If not, atleast something with a modicum of integrity. But seems Microsoft disagrees with that.
Ah sorry, that’s fair. We went the other way from having just taskfile to having both and it seems quite nice so far.

> why wouldn’t the US gov’t want a US company owning ARM? Why is the FTC pilling on to block this?

The U.S. government isn't a monolith. FTC is charged with, first and foremost, maintaining our markets.
No, because in this perfectly rational world a bunch of weaker humans would inevitably band together to overcome the stronger stick man.

This is exactly how things would go, which is why in human history warlords have never been a thing, and violent, oppressive men have never built empires.
Who Wins in the US-China Commercial Space Race?
And why is SoftBank any more positioned to be a champion of ARM quality? I just don’t see how it would not be in Nvidia’s interest to promote a healthy ARM any more or less than any other owner. Is the goal for ARM to become independent again? Are Nvidia’s competitors making ARM graphics cards and SoCs?
Politically, 'big tech' is on the defensive and this is one way for FTC to show some teeth.

That being said, nVidia is currently not playing in ARM's space, so it's hard to argue that this acquisition will harm US consumers or raise prices for them. Hence my feeling is that this is politically motivated, at least to some extent.

Also, we (the US) are entering a period of intense competition with China that may last decades and may even include acts of war. Semiconductors are a key area of competition. More US control of key semiconductor assets is in the US interest. However to be totally fair that doesn't typically concern anti-trust law. But it should concern the current administration and drive some of these decisions about where to focus. It would be very different if this was about social networks and funny cat gifs.
Agreed... but the decision trees we learn from data to do classification are quite different from the decision trees we design to formalise our processes. I think several replies here have missed the distinction.

> Oh yeah, and we’ve been wringing our hands about hospital capacity for 2 years now. Perhaps we should ask why there isn’t any effort at all into increasing it?

Yeah seriously, it’s been two years, why haven’t we doubled the number of doctors and nurses by now? Just add more conveyor belts to our factorio.

SUMMARY

We’re sharing a detailed, end-of-year update on our progress against adversarial networks that we found and removed for different policy violations around the world: Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior (CIB), Brigading, and Mass Reporting.

We removed four CIB operations — from China, Palestine, Poland, and Belarus. In our November CIB report, we included a deep-dive research assessment into the China-based network and specific threat indicators to facilitate further research into this COVID-19-focused activity across the internet.

Last year, we launched a pilot research platform — built with CrowdTangle — where we're sharing data with independent OSINT researchers and scholars who study influence operations. We'll be expanding this archive to more researchers over the next several months.

As part of expanding our network disruption efforts to emerging threats, including from authentic groups, we took two separate enforcement actions under two new security policies.

Under our Inauthentic Behavior policy against mass reporting, we removed a network in Vietnam for repeatedly and falsely reporting activists and government critics for policy violations to Facebook in an attempt to silence them.

Under our Brigading policy, we took down a network linked to the anti-vaccination movement called V_V which targeted medical professionals, journalists and elected officials in Italy and France to harass them across the internet, including on our platform.

Fusing 3 instructions is not unusual, those could also have been compressed. Thus you have no more microcode to execute and only 50% more cache usage rather than 300%
You can lose rights after due process, nothing to do with this scenario.

The due process is the important part, you must be convicted by a jury of your peers.

Forced mandates are not due process.

Your lack of understanding of how your rights work is troubling.
By your logic, we should get rid of goalkeepers as well, since all goals in football happen despite them being on the playground.

This is the creator of MathLingua, a unique language for easily describing mathematical definitions, theorems, axioms, and conjectures.

It is unique from LaTeX and theorem proving languages and has a different goal. See the documentation at www.mathlingua.org for more information.

This post is a follow-up to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23960662 and many changes have been made to MathLingua since that time based on the feedback from that post.

In particular, since that time, I have added numerous improvements to the language to improve its usability, have drilled down on a particular use-case that I have documented more clearly, and have created a `mlg` command line tool to interact with the MathLingua language.

In particular, using `mlg check` one can check their MathLingua documents for errors, with `mlg document` one can create a dynamic static site of their documents suitable to be shared on GitHub pages, and with `mlg edit`, an in-browser IDE is available to edit your MathLingua documents with live previews, auto-complete, etc.

I really appreciate all of the feedback I received previously, and any and all feedback now is greatly appreciated.
That's hands down the most impressive campaign video I have ever seen. He is going to strike the right chords with a lot of french workers. Wonder how he will do.
Even Fauci said vaccinated people spread covid at the same rate for first few days.
That's a bit misleading. As long as the R value is above 1 the spreading is exponential. That follows directly from how the R-value is defined. What you mean is that the curve will take a sigmoidal shape for a while once the number of immune people has reached a certain threshold. In that case, the R-value is slowly approaching 1 again, and finally will go below 1 (which finally results in a curve that is not sigmoidal, of course). Other measures like lockdowns do the same to the curve, as is easy to observe by overlaying the measures over the curve, just not with an initial increase of cases that leads to hundreds of thousands of deaths. Estimated Infection Fatality Rates during the first Covid wave - where there was full hospital care available - ranged from 0.5% to 2%. So for Germany's 80M people that would be in the ballpark of 400,000 to 1.6M deaths - under medical care. Even if you take the original estimates of around 0.3% the results wouldn't have been flattering.

In a nutshell, the German government and every other country on earth is doing what you propose, except that they are vaccinating at the same time and try to keep the curves flat (but your use of "slow" also suggests this, so it's not clear what else you're suggesting).
You really don't see how NVidia controlling what price their competitors have to pay for ARM technology and when they get access to it at all could have an impact on the market?
He said what most poor people have been saying the entire time. They're willing to take the risk, because the risk is lower than all the other problems they have now.

Now, the question is: should you care what poor people say?
Estonia re-imposed strict measures as well because the ICU was becoming overwhelmed. This means mandatory masks everywhere, no public activities without proof of vaccination (restaurants, gyms etc) and limits on opening hours and strong police enforcement of these rules.

The wave started leveling off about 2 weeks after and the rules are still in force.

Not sure where you got your information.
Maybe, but it's a leap, IMO. The equivalent patterns are 3x as long, and modify tons of arch visible state for their intermediate results which leaves more work for those combined instructions to do.

The complaint is valid, IMO, and would show up on the filtration test they used to come up with ops if they were working with JITs too rather than just what's in AOT code.
Seems nice in concept, but Rust and Node.js is a bad and limiting in execution
You answered your own question. Nivida doesn't need to own the entirety of the mobile processor market.
The goal is to keep serious cases to a minimum so they don’t clog the healthcare system thus making people die of all sorts of other things because they couldn’t be treated.

Vaccines do help with that, tremendously.
Good enough” matters more than benchmarks. They can make supercomputers but it doesn’t matter to someone who wants a $100 computer.
Just a heads up about what is happening in Germany: (Just got back Monday from Hamburg)

1. Entry restriction: You must be vaccinated to enter from nonEU countries (Vaccation must be in the approved list)

2. Most restaraunt/bars/outdoor gatherings are either 2G/3G. The bahn is 3g (so testing as well). Nearly everything else is 2G. This includes the food hall in the airport. Enforcement is at entry. You must show your personal|lebenlingsausweiss and your coronapass. (identity license, and vacination evidence.. CDC vaccine card can work.. but get it converted and your life will be easy)

2g = genesen, geimpfung / recovered, vacced
3g = 2g+ gettestet

3. Many restaurants expect or require you to use Luca to participate in contact tracing. If that is not possible they do a manual collection of info.

These rules are even enforced at outdoor gatherings such as weihnachtmarkts.

Denmark/Coppenhagen: Only ate inside at one place. They only wanted to see my coronapass.
I think the comments along the lines of "This is weird, why wouldn't the US govt want a US company to own ARM?" are incredibly simplistic.

First, it's at least possible that some government agencies actually do care about their charters and don't make it 100% about any one-sided geopolitical advantages. It's not hard to see how this deal will be bad for American consumers and businesses at large, and the FTC's purpose is to prevent that harm.

But more than that, even if you do take the position that they only care about realpolitik, the US government's desire to reign in big tech is about the sole thing that has bipartisan support. This action is well in line with keeping big tech from usurping the power of government.

I believe Plato says something very similar.
The consistent theme every time this comes up is that dealing with the sheer weight of the internet is almost impossible today. SEO spam is hard to fight and the index gets too heavy. However, I wonder if this is a sign that we're looking at the problem wrong.

What if instead of even trying to index the entire web, we moved one step back towards the curated directories of the early web? Give users a search engine and indexer that they control and host. Allow them to "follow" domains (or any partial URLs, like subreddits) that they trust.

Make it so that you can configure how many hops it is allowed to take from those trusted sources, similar to LinkedIn's levels of connections. If I'm hosting on my laptop, I might set it at 1 step removed, but if I've got an S3 bucket for my index I might go as far as 3 or 4 steps removed.

There are further optimizations that you could do, such as having your instance not index Wikipedia or Stack Overflow or whatever (instead using the built-in search and aggregating results).

I'm sure there are technical challenges I'm not thinking of, and this would absolutely be a tool that would best serve power users and programmers rather than average internet users. Such an engine wouldn't ever replace Google, but I'd think it would go a long way to making a better search engine for a single user's (or a certain subset of users') everyday web experience.
Yeah, but with the Nolan Batmans in particular, I rewatched them again at home with subtitles on and got a way different (better, IMO) experience than the unintelligible garble at the theater.

When I first saw Batman Begins, I didn't at all understand that there was some connection between Henri Ducard and Ra's al Ghul (both played by Liam Neeson)... was really confused why Batman's apparent friend/mentor suddenly became the villain, and then somehow a bunch of other villains showed up and wanted to do something to Gotham (but couldn't understand what). At first watch, all I got was that "Batman went through some hard shit before Gotham". It didn't at all prepare me for the plotlines of the subsequent movies and none of the characters made sense until I could rewatch it with subtitles on.

My understanding is that Nolan chose that unintelligibility for some artistic reason, but as a moviegoer, it just means I miss most of the entire plot of his movies. That's especially the case when you combine unintelligible dialogue with fast dark scenes... just a lot of blurry fists and wheels that's incredibly hard to keep track of.

Also Interstellar... first time I watched it, all I really got was "corn farmer goes to space and gets betrayed". None of the intricacies of the Bookshelf of Time™ got through because it was all unintelligible. Argh.
No, they really didn't.

> Primary efficacy analysis demonstrates BNT162b2 to be 95% effective against COVID-19 beginning 28 days after the first dose;170 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were evaluated, with 162 observed in the placebo group versus 8 in the vaccine group

November, 2020: https://investors.modernatx.com/news-releases/news-release-d...

> This first interim analysis was based on 95 cases, of which 90 cases of COVID-19 were observed in the placebo group versus 5 cases observed in the mRNA-1273 group, resulting in a point estimate of vaccine efficacy of 94.5% (p <0.0001).

April, 2021: https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-deta...

> Thirty-two cases of severe disease, as defined by the CDC, were observed in the placebo group versus none in the BNT162b2 vaccinated group, indicating that the vaccine was 100% efficacious in this analysis against severe disease by the CDC definition (95% CI, [88.0,100.0]). Twenty-one severe cases, as defined by the FDA, were observed in the placebo group versus one case in the BNT162b2 vaccinated group, indicating 95.3% efficacy by the FDA definition (95% CI, [71.0, 99.9]).

They've been clear since the very beginning that vaccinated people could still get infected, and that efficacy was regarding severe disease.
A cryptocurrency that will continue to work reliably and without a bound on aggregate transaction rate in the face of network Partitioning is … a “shitcoin”?
to some extent, but that doesn't matter since the point is that we have plenty of schools and the money to build enough new schools, even if we built ten high rises in my neighborhood. sure, at the theoretical limit it could be a problem, but that isn't anywhere close to the primary limiting factor in the foreseeable future.
Do you think the % of unvaccinated would stay the same next year?
My gut feeling is that it will increase, every 6 months when the new booster is needed we will get more and more people not wanting it.

How long until the unvaccinated are more than the vaccinated? 18 months?

What happens when they are the majority and ban all vaccines?
Pretty incredible the size of it and how much he built. Not what I would have chosen to dedicate my life to but he lived his whole life working towards a goal without distractions. Seems like just as good a life as could be hoped for, hope that he died satisfied, all anyone can really ask from life.

This baffles me. I believe most Christian religions(definitely Catholics and most Protestants) embraced the evolution decades ago. So who is debating it and why?
Rule of law still matters. It’s interesting to see how differently ARM is treated versus ARM China.

It's always cherry picking to deliberately misinterpret statistics to make the most dramatic headline, it has been during the whole pandemic. Nobody is even trying to make accurate and relevant conclusions with the numbers, quite the opposite it's like a sport now who can lie the most with statistics.
> Couldn't it transform into a high-dividend company?

This is cigarette-butt investing. It ignores terminal value. If the terminal value is already close to zero, it's the right move, an orderly wind-down and re-allocation of assets. If there is terminal value, it's a pillaging. Cases like these, where the terminal value starts looking more theoretical than practical, are how those incentives shift.
Sure, but we can make the virus largely irrelevant in terms of its impact on peoples lives. We can reduce the number of people who suffer long term consequences, the number of deaths, and the load on hospitals. We can make it harder for new, more dangerous, variants to arise.
They have little reason to care other than brand damage. They have managed to resist returning people's money so far, and most people who fall victim to this likely won't seek restitution or be able to. Income is income. I seriously doubt the class action will approach justice especially once legal fees are deducted.
Thank you! It’s this myth that keeps perpetuating that makes people think mandates are acceptable.

And I say that as someone vaccinated.
There are pretty easy to use workarounds -such as rufus, though that may change.
x86 also does macro fusion. Difference is RISC-V was designed for compressed instruction and fusion from the get go. X86 bolted this on.

Anyway what you gain from this is a very simple ISA, which helps tool writers, those who implement hardware as well in academia for teaching and research.

How does the insanely complex x86 instructions help anyone?

More broadly, there's a whole cottage industry of businesses that exist only because the UI for the major cloud providers is terrible. Stuff like security auditing or even telling exactly WTF is going on (let alone over time) is so painful that it's worth paying someone else to provide a better UI. Same for billing.
Religion is blight upon humainty.
> 1) Mandatory vaccination, all age groups, boosters etc.

50% to 60% of all the people in ICU with covid related symptoms in the EU atm are fully vaccinated.

It's been lies from day one: "masks do not protect" then "masks are mandatory because they protect" (I don't know which one is correct but at least one is a lie), "you're a conspiracy theorist if you think there's any link between a virus research lab in Wuhan and the fact that the outbreak started there" then now "a lab escape is a possibility", then Fauci commited a crime by lying in front of congress (he then retracted himself after having been called out by senator Rand paul) "I had no idea there was gain of function research done in the Wuhan lab", then "we will never discriminate between vaccinated and non vaccinated people", etc. ad nauseam.

Then the mRNA vaccine (which I got) was sold us as major scientific discovery and as a panacea. Turns out that "vaccine" doesn't confer a long lasting immunity at all (otherwise there wouldn't be 50 to 60% of ICU beds in Europe filled with fully vaccinated people).

I don't think suppression is possible with a non-sterilizing vaccine. I think it's even less possible that it's even less possible with something that is called a "vaccine" but that isn't really one (Merriam-Webster recently changed, by sheer chance, the very definition of what a vaccine is, but I need time to adapt to the new definition).

The virus is here to stay and we won't get rid of it with snake oil (I'm not saying the mRNA Pfizer shots don't work at all, I'm saying their effectiveness is extermely limited seen that ICU beds are filled with vaccinated people).
Thank you very much, I tried it is not bad, but it seems that there is a lack of file sharing between the participants and the collaborative whiteboard.
