You are missing the point - the division IS their end goal.
A lot of countries have solved this problem. I am a dual US|EU (Croatian) citizen.

On the EU side, we have smart chip national ID cards that are being adopted EU-wide.

In Croatia, you can use those smart chip national ID cards for governmental affairs with a USB smart chip reader (for authentication) on the e-citizens portal.
> they're a bit of an architectural nightmare for everyone doing any more than the simplest CPUs, they make every instruction potentially have dependencies or anti-dependencies with every other

It's doesn't have to be _that_ bad. As long as condition flags are all written at once (or are essentially banked like PowerPC) the dependency issue can go away because they're renamed and their results aren't dependent on previous data.

Now, of course, instructions that only update some condition flags and preserve others are the devil.
I always hit 10 unless they were actively rude to me. I don't gain anything when they pay their employees less so why give them a reason to do so?
This is pure bullshit of the highest order.

The science is crystal fucking clear: no one is dying from COVID![0]

[0] - https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths?areaType=over...
No, that isn't the biggest issue. The ICU is the last resort, it's the point where we throw incredible amounts of effort and hardware at the problem to gain a chance of still saving them. And even then 50% still die, and others likely will have permanent damage from the severe course of the disease.

The biggest issue is that not enough people got vaccinated.
Ahh, using tmate for this is very clever!
Nah. Germans love to complain but not as much as they love having things decided for them decisively and following the rules begrudgingly. There will be no uprising. People are going to complain, as per usual, no matter what the change, and then fall in line without any upset that could begin to rival the downside of them not doing so.
ARM also does something similar, many instructions has a flag bit specifying whether flags should be updated or not. It doesn't have the multiple flag registers of POWER though.
Opened diplomatic office? Those monsters!!

Seriously, China is super sensitive if you don't do exactly as they demand. Mention Tibet and all the sudden you are Hitler 2.0 in China
This is a great point. I have a few pieces of furniture hand-made by skilled craftspeople and they're lovely.

But most of my furniture still comes from Ikea and the like because it costs at least an order of magnitude less to build and ship.

Electron will continue to grow in popularity for similar reasons.
It will still be crap because Mediatek. At least if you are interested in installing solid aftermarket firmware/ROMs and not some haphazardly mixed together 'mods' based on obsolete and vulnerable versions. It's an uphill battle, even steeper than with the other players on the market. I'd avoid it. Until they change their policy regarding openness, open source, and so on. But why would they? Has worked for them so far.
"Gee no carry flag how will we cope?"
Impossible to say - too complex to figure that out. You are correct that demand has grown faster than supply, so in aggregate, housing prices have continued to rise.

But, we have mixed-use where single-use/non-residential existed previously, so relatively speaking, we're better off (in terms of total housing units). And in terms of economic activity, those zones all appear to be successful.

EDIT - Also worth nothing the zoning changes are pretty limited - within a few city blocks of the metro stations. They make a good PoC for changes, but expanding them beyond their current boundaries will run into the same NIMBY issues we see across the large cities in CA.
Unjustified uses of the word “metaverse” should cost $5.
Those sites were checking the ratio of width to height of your screen instead of your window. If the height is taller they give you the mobile site. It's annoying. I've seen that before.
Your assertion about transmission is definitely not proven. It all comes down to an expected value. An unvaccinated symptomatic individual will shed a lot more virus than a vaccinated asymptomatic one. It would probably take fewer encounters to infect someone else than in the vaccinated case. So although an asymptomatic vaxed person might be out and about more, the lower viral shedding could possibly account for that we don’t know. Also you’re overestimating the intelligence of the average person, symptomatic people do stupid shit all the time [0]. This couple probably infected way more people than an asymptomatic vaxed person. Again not proven.

Judging by the fact that the whole pandemic was ostensibly started by an animal->human transmission, I'm highly skeptical of your claim.
I find one exception to what you're saying. If you had a large role in building that legacy code base you are carrying around all the tech debt and repairs in your head. And if you're mindful of that, you can rebuild guided by what you have learned from the ground up and it will work. See John CarMmack's increasingly awesome series of 3D engines he wrote over the years.

But that's not how it usually works in the tech industry where you inherit someone else's code who also inherited it from someone else as it was written by somebody they never met. And on that front you are dead-on
If you don't recognize the problem i doubt you ll collect any money for it
>Good luck to you getting a ICU bed now if you have an accident or a stroke or heart issues.

They don't put covid patients in the same ward as other ICU beds for obvious reasons.
Researchers shoot holes in study touted to confirm 'masks work' in curbing Covid
I use multiple monitors, look at the keyboard to type, and drive barefoot. 3 things that have no bearing on each other.
No - you misunderstand my point. My point isn't to denigrate the viewer, but rather to acknowledge that in some genres the dialog simply isn't the point. Even in the article they appear to acknowledge this, noting that in romcom and whatnot that the audio is more clearly articulated and audible, versus the various examples of action type movies.
Problems to Solve
Other countries with Zero COVID policies have been successful at suppressing the virus to extremely low levels. Their citizens laugh at us on social media.

At extremely low levels, we can begin to contemplate elimination/eradication.
This is more about the perils of React switching from component classes where lifecycle methods were explicit and obvious to the multipurpose leaky abstraction known as useEffect and the hooks API. To anyone that went through the class phase, this issue is probably obvious and well known.

Also, Gatsby. If Gatsby is hiding the React warnings when your SSR diverges from client side, then that's on Gatsby. It's hard enough to debug when you know what's going on. This is like going in blindfolded with both arms tied behind your back.

Luckily this issue only comes up a handful of times.
How do you verify a checkmate in polytime? I'd think a candidate sequence of p1,p2 moves isn't a certificate, since it says nothing about whether the losing player still gets checkmated if they make some different moves.
Oh geez.

Dockerfiles are reason #1 for docker's popularity.

Shipping 'the lot' so the artifact works everywhere is #2. This is incredibly inefficient for most use cases.

`docker pull random-shit` is #3.

Everything else it gives is largely immaterial, or maybe even a negative.

You guys are solving #1 and #3, and providing a better alternative to #2. I'm very excited for you and your project!
I've never encountered an ultra wide that didn't support the equivalent desktop resolution.
Are you sure this wasn't a problem with the drivers or the capabilities of the device you plugged it into?
What is the use case for disabling wireless communication for your phone? How will you use it? How will anyone call you? If you don't want to use wireless functions, buy a tablet that lacks all the radio hardware.
With exponential spread, the actual number of ICU beds really doesn't matter, because whatever you've got will be overwhelmed across a similar timeframe anyway. The only way to actually fix the problem is to get the R-value below 1, which requires mass vaccinations.
> Perhaps countries have different standards for when they put patients in ICU's, allowing hospitals (and governments) to always operate close to capacity? Would be one explanation, but I really don't know.

There's different standards in different countries for sure. In The Netherlands there's a focus on quality of life. If a patient cannot have a decent quality of life after staying on ICU, there's a preference to provide the patient with palliative care instead. In (e.g.) Italy this approach would not be accepted.
Larceny (small- or industrial-scale) can only exist if counterparties are kept ignorant of previous larceny on the part of the bad actor.

It takes centralized systems to keep people ignorant.

In good, decentralized systems which demand long-term public track records of agent behaviour, with decentralized memory of these records, malevolent behaviour by an agent would rapidly make that agent incapable of future larceny.

Much of the disappointment with government and their three-letter agencies, is the growing belief (and mounting evidence) of long-term, wide-spread larceny, mischief and even evil on the part of government agents -- with the knowledge, support and protection of the government.

It is critical to use systems that make bad behaviour impossible to hide.

This requires centralized RULES (ie. widely agreed-upon standards of behaviour), but decentralized KNOWLEDGE (large numbers of random actors, confirming that behaviours meet the standards).

Is it actually implemented on any hardware?
>Consciousness is marked by the presence of subjective experience: In the philosopher’s term of art, there is “something it is like” for us to be aware of the world (1).

This is exactly what I find the most baffling and amusing about almost every academic writing on consciousness today: this definition of consciousness which uses the weird phrasing "there is something it is like". It is so unusual, yet ubiquitous, yet almost nobody who uses it ever examines this phrase closely or expands on what precisely they mean by it. Maybe it's just a cargo-cultish stand-in for "you know what the fuck I mean".

Ah, I did find a paper about this which seems like a good entry point: 'What it is Like' Talk is not Technical Talk by Jonathan Farrell.
I like the Ali Baba's cave [1] explanation for ZKP. Especially since it gives intuition for how one can prove that a protocol is in fact zero-knowledge.

Yes, but I can only find the link on the main page of the blog, not in individual posts. Here it is:

If M1 macs were like iPhones, where a new one was released every year, I could see it maybe being useful to pay for something like this.

But since they aren’t, and since an M1 mini only costs $699, it doesn’t make sense to me. If you use it 24/7, even the cheapest provider is going to be more expensive than just buying one (or 3)

Even if you only use it for building/compiling iOS software, it’s probably still cheaper to buy one because even if Apple releases a new model, the model you can buy today is still going to be good for building for at least half a decade. Also, if there is a new model, the old model will drop in price!

AND even if you don’t have the cash to buy a $700 computer, you can still probably find a way to finance the purchase for a lower monthly payment than whatever this type of service would cost.

Does anyone have a real world example where a service like this makes sense? (Even if it were cheaper than AWS’s prices)
The explosion in stablecoins revives a debate around “free banking”
Probably they are deliberately trying to make M2 EC2 instances expensive to avoid all their Mac Minis being bought out by AWS, they get higher profit margins selling to retail customers.
The vaccines, while not as effective as classics like polio vaccine or measles vaccine, are definitely a net positive and help significantly in reducing the epidemic burden. Perhaps instead of internecine finger pointing we could blame covid itself?
Did phone repairs for a third party company working for Sprint. Bonus was $1-5 per repair depending on the severity of the repair. If the store got glowing remarks our commission was 125%, 9/10 we got 100%. 8/10 we got 75% of our earned commission. Anything below that we got 0%. I think I got a commission payout only 3 out of 7 months I worked in that store before leaving because I was tired of corporate eating my commission on the whim of Sprint customers. Didn't matter how good I was at fixing phones and how happy a customer was with the repair when they left bad surveys due to Sprints lack of cell coverage in their area.
> If "changing the American system", then I think that's what he wants. He seems to want industrial policy, possibly state control of industry -- whatever it takes to employ everyone and give them good wages. A Republican pivot to the working class.

Yea I also read it that way. Reading between the lines a bit, I see some of a desire for the America in the 50s and 60s, not super uncommon of a sentiment for a variety of reasons.

In retrospect I should have just co-opted the author's language:

> In the struggle between tradition and economic reality, tradition simply ends up being destroyed

If there are two dependent variables: economic reality and tradition, the author wants to fix tradition and find the economic reality which allows for that.

I would posit that historically, the long term trend is for tradition to change to match economic realities, so the way out of this might be to find new traditions which are self sustaining (positive birth rates or birth+immigration as the author says).
I've never seen this happen. If you look at Newegg for example all these monitors seem to have the proper resolution to accommodate their aspect ratio.

Isn't this just an ordinary proof, not a zero knowledge proof? And why would you say this is infeasible for large n? NP doesn't mean that verification is hard, it means that verification is easy, no?
Every single person who's immune system eradicates the virus causes evolutionary pressure.

If your immune system takes a long time to do this, because eg. you didn't have a vaccine so it hasn't got an antibody template to work from, then the virus has much longer to evolve in the host, under a bunch of weird and wonderful new types of antibodies that get thrown against it.

If there's already vaccine exposure then the body just needs to ramp up the antibody production, which is much faster and will result in total virus eradication to each virus as the antibodies encounter them, not halfway-measures which might leave half-functioning viruses which might self-repair in mutagenic ways.
I think this is a convenient caricature of why people want to keep single family zoning, but it doesn't match my experience. I am one of those people that favors single family zoning, and no one I know that shares the same view favors low-density zoning to drive value. Not one. The reason I hear consistently is that people want to preserve their way of life and quality of life. Introducing new zoning and higher density works against that. It brings an influx of newcomers that change local politics, it causes additional traffic beyond what driving infrastructure can support, it soaks up parking and makes businesses/neighborhoods less accessible to those living outside the immediate vicinity, it makes parks/amenities more crowded, it changes the sense of community, it affects safety, and so on. Those things are important to many people, not just current home owners, and I think it particularly matters to those who have lived in an area for a long time and helped make it what it is.
This is super cool and I’m excited to dig in more

Any chance there are some demos building a full stack app on this tech?
Interesting! From which perspective? Implementing the ISA, compiler or applications? Did you write machine language or compiled?
And, most people are fine with it, and those that aren't are completely free to leave and pursue their lives somewhere with "better" rules.

I think we're agreeing; perhaps I'm mistaken?
maybe people will look at alternatives:

It's nice that you started with "To my knowledge", it's kind of like "I'm not racist, but let me tell you some bullshit racism".

The CDC recommends everyone over 18 get a booster after 6 months, and the main reason is that the infectivity of vaccinated individuals drops drastically after a booster. So while 60% of "fully vaccinated" folks might go on to infect others after exposure to the virus, that number drops to ~10% of folks after a booster.

Since biology isn't ever a 100% effective kind of thing, you eradicate disease by implementing a bunch of only slightly effective interventions that lay-people think are bullshit, but if you combine a lot of slightly effective things, you end up with an effective enough response to break the cycle of infectivity.
I would be very happy if my government did the same. What a relief it would be!

It's a public health measure, like public sanitation requirements, and driving a car that meets safety requirements. Unvaccinated people should be free to do whatever they want, short of risking infecting other people. Your freedom ends where your fist ends and my nose begins.
Those last two on the right look like they're basically behind you. How do you use those?
Why can't we have single family plus high density where it makes sense (near transit, major roads and freeways)? This push to ruin suburbs is just ruining things for those that don't want to live somewhere dense.
I don't think it's strictly about competence and more about specialism. In my personal experience, which you can take with a large grain of salt, what happens is that the engineering manager with a certain type of career history tends to look down on any type of operations work and anyone who does it. I have heard things that come off sounding like this: "We hire world class computer scientists from prestigious Ivy League schools and FAANG experience, so why do I need to hire some one-trick-pony DB guy, when my engineers could build their own databases from scratch?"
This is such a bizarre take. If the ICUs are filling up, the solution should be to prevent people from getting sick, not to make the ICUs bigger. There are undoubtedly many problems in the German healthcare system, but the current surge is clearly due to the very large number of unvaccinated people.
Can you explain what you mean? The link you provided shows over 150k deaths in the UK alone.
Money. Disabling a Mac for 24 hours after 10 minutes of use means you have to buy much more hardware than you'd have to if a single Mac could be utilized by many people for short periods of time. Some users would use a single Mac for days/weeks/months but others will want to boot, run a build, and be done. The actual work might take 5 minutes or 3 hours but you pay for a day no matter what.

Days where you're doing the same short-lived task many times won't be as expensive per build, but if you just want to do a nightly build, you're paying for months or years and utilizing a fraction of the compute time you're buying.

What is the value proposition of all this for simple apis? The author is using one of the simplest examples, and almost all of the proposed solutions other than the first problematic one read like obtuse technical literature to me. All for what, so I don’t fuck up the ‘id’ param on a hello-world fetch request? What does this stuff look like on anything seemingly more complex (my best guess, it’ll look more complex).
Also:

- Economy of scale means this won't be "AirBnB for hosting". I can't negotiate power costs or get as much efficiency out of my operations as someone with a real datacenter. Not even close. [EDIT: see also, Bitcoin mining, which started out "anyone can do it!" but wasn't anymore as soon as real money got involved. Just buy an expensive rack of ASICs that aren't good for anything else, and find some place to arbitrage power costs. Yeah, real accessible to the masses, that is.]

- All these "decentralize everything down to the end user" efforts neglect that most personal computing devices run on battery and sleep most of the time, these days, and that trend does not seem likely to reverse. See also: IPFS. Most folks don't have an always-on desktop- or server-class computer for this sort of thing, at all, and would have to buy one to participate. That's not super appealing. Also, decentralization tends to come at costs for routing and lookup, which often end up eating cycles (so, power, so, battery) on the end user's machine, compared with centralized options. See again: IPFS. So they end up adding centralized access points that are what most users actually interact with (see, yet again...) or their entire audience is computer nerds. If they have any real, viable use case, it ends up being as part of a centralized system, to help make it more resilient or cheaper to operate.

> Soon after publication of the above abstract in Circulation, it was brought to the American Heart Association Committee on Scientific Sessions Program’s attention that there are potential errors in the abstract.
