Wouldn't it be fun if NVidia could sell a "firmware upgrade" for your GPU, in this time where GPU prices are through the roof and they cannot supply the market adequately?

Of course, I'd hate that in normal times, but if they now made me an offer to "upgrade" my 1060 (to moderately higher performance, but still lower end), I'd probably take it.

I don't understand your point.

Retaining walls (generally speaking) are tough enough and do not fail.

Those that fail were either poorly engineered/calculated or badly built (or something else in the soils/terrain behind the was overlooked or external actions - like loads and/or vibrations from trafic were underestimated).

That is beyond and besides the actual shape and orientation of the wall.

Why haven’t they updated the vaccine? I thought one of the major benefits of this technology was the ease with which you can modify them.
Very, very few investors have the vision and nerve to hold their money in one thing for 70 years through the ups and downs. In the case of the S&P500, this would have worked out, but in 99.9999% of other investments, you’d simply have ended with $0 (or less…) and high blood pressure. It is not obvious ahead of time what strategy will work best.

> The point is that when in an altered state, your conventional, "sober" model of reality breaks down and no longer applies.

Your sober model of reality 100% still applies. You are simply mis-perceiving what is happening in reality.

The reality your mind is attempting to model is the only one that exists. Inducing chemicals that hinder your ability to perceive it does not indicate that it is a simulation.

It is not a self-referential consistency because it is being tracked by many people, many forms of study, many computers and machines, and is repeatable. Chemically induced states of hallucination are none of the above.

I will leave the undoing of reality to string theorists and super-computers.
Your hedge fund manager can also knowingly give bad info to improve the actual portfolio they are or agenda they are running.

Yes, that's technically fraud/market manipulation. That@s why most hedge fund managers won@t give financial advice until after they've been paid, and are, at best, either selling the money management angle with all the right regulatory and compliance check marks ticked, or they're selling you fast access to market actors + quantitative fiscal analysis results.

Either way, I wouldn't advise necessarily blindly taking one's advice. Just because you "do it as your job" doesn't mean you're necessarily terribly good at it. Never mind the whole "completely punting on your own responsibility as a capital allocator" thing.

Remember, everybody punting to hedge funds and such is the reason the economy overtime has trended toward centralization. Once everybody knows the guy managing everyone else's money, it's only a matter of time til the information engineering starts.

Pfizer are on it (1). They estimate that it takes around 3 months. Which actually is really easy.

And the others are following suit in similar timeframes (2)

The hard part is deciding if this variant is the one that you're going to vaccinate against for a year or more. That takes data, which also takes time.

He didn't say that of course, but yes the suggestion was an example of how not to do integration. Who would integrate into a culture that immediately self-denies itself? Absolutely nobody and I think suggesting name changes are beyond secularism, it is just self-submission. This only displays that you don't have any values.
I think immune response doesn’t necessarily work that way. It’s possible the third shot could improve immunity for a longer time frame of 1-3yrs.

I think I read there is also a new omicron specific mRNA vaccine in the works too.
They're essentially forced. If you dont for one you have to work for another that is essentially equivalent.

I wonder if Internet addiction may have addition problems beyond those other examples. For example, the very tool used for many service jobs (the computer) is the same mechanism used to feed the addiction, making it extra hard to abstain. Or algorithms used to capture attention, etc.
I didn't mention anything about your "common misunderstanding" which I agree with and if you would want to do outlier detection or anything like that you would need to add it separately to your codebase (which is not that difficult to do)

My point was and still is that thinking about Kalman filters just as a measurement filtering system misses the point. An important value of measurements(especially in the more interesting formulations of KF such as the UKF) is updating the covariance matrices over time which affects the priori distributions of the state over time and thus affects your state estimation.
Ok, so that makes some sense to me. Thanks for explaining it.

No, at least to Christian Drosten [1], he explained multiple times in his podcast, that it is quite hard to compare antibody titers from different laboratories and therefore it is hard to define general safe thresholds.

Lack of sunlight is usually also correlated with cold - and being exposed to cold makes you burn fat fast, to maintain your body temperature. Which might be the reason for the finding in the first place.

None of what you described is a path to normalcy. We've been doing it for over a year. Look at Australia, they have concentration camps.

Vaccines don't really stop the spread of the virus, neither do they stop you from getting infected, they just reduce the symptoms and the odds of death. Which is still great, but it's not stopping the virus.

We need next level meds, real vaccines.
Psychedelics and the absurdity of the possibility life itself alter metaphysical beliefs.
It's not at all clear that it's possible to complete this vaccination. Given the discussion around the 3rd booster shot, it seems likely that Pfizer and others are shifting the market to accept the vaccine as an annual product like the flu shot.
My first shot would be a high power, high CRI LED. Something like this [1], but preferably a good bit stronger (or more of them).

Previously it wasn't deemed necessary (i.e. the original design was good and universal enough), for Omicron as far as I know tests are running, depending on how that goes and how countries decide to treat the regulatory part of updating it we might see an adjusted one now. (EDIT: "universal enough": we don't want a vaccine extremely optimized for a variant, but one that has a good chance to work well against other/new variants too, so there's a balance if a improvement against one variant makes it worse overall)

EDIT 2: apparently some small trials for modified variants are also running for Delta, so I guess this statement needs to be modified and it wasn't considered justified to rush out a new anti-delta variant, but testing is done so the findings can be used for upgrades.

The point is "AND SO".

Yes, that is how they fund their operations. No one else is giving out billions of dollars to build rockets.

At the same time they are using that money to

1. Create full reusabilty.

2. Drop launch costs 10 to 100 fold.

3. Massively increase payload and launch capability.

Which is the point of this particular thread. The other launch groups have pocketed (hundreds of) billions of dollars and changed almost nothing over the past few decades.
They already have a Delta variant vaccine. You can probably guess why they haven't released it.

Just because you want to share something doesn't mean you should. You cannot control what people will do, nor should you be able to control their actions by limiting their freedoms. Either you trust them or you don't.
Though in this case I suspect more was better. At least that’s my hypothesis for why moderna vaccine immunity held up better against delta than Pfizer
From reading around (not a biologist), I get the impression that there's some kind of super-linear immunity building, not just waning protection. Standard children's vaccines often have a few doses, and not evenly spaced.

Soo... you're building up better immunity against the "baseline" virus with each dose. That immunity translates to some (reduced) immunity to the variants. But if the "baseline" is high enough, you can afford some drop in efficiency.

Perhaps in some ideal world, the boosters would be tuned to the variants. But as you say, they would need to be re-tested etc. Cf. the AZ vaccine, which through some arcane process causes (extremely rare) blood clots, it's probably hard to verify ahead of time a modified vaccine wouldn't suffer from such side effects.
What are the garanties that the binaries are safe?

TBH, this feels like a libertarian mindset of "Everyone will try to lie and cheat you!".

Why should they lie? If their data had something different to their press release, lying and then getting caught (e.g. by a whistleblower) would damage their reputation. If their data shows it's bad, as responsible scientists why shouldn't they come out with the truth to protect the general public, and say "We'll continue work on the Omicron-specific vaccine.".

Unless you think their main motive is to boost their stock price in the short term. That kind of thinking should be reserved for people dealing with the blockhain-ponzi schemes.
Notwithstanding, the brightness level outside even in overcast, in lumens, is still much higher than it is indoors. That lack of exposure has a negative impact on the circadian rhythm, mood etc. Exposure to the eyes is more important than exposure to the skin.
True, the issue is if you are getting a niche item without name brands in the market. For example I was trying to get a TV antenna, which to me doesn’t have a recognizable brand to look towards.
Anecdotally, the buzz I hear around Amazon has changed from

* 2010: this is amazing! You can get anything right away! And I don’t buy anything without checking Amazon reviews first

* 2015: it seems like Amazon is an unstoppable behemoth that might be doing harm in the world, but it’s just so easy to order stuff, so… sorry, world!

* today: the Amazon shopping experience is so filled with bullshit that it’s actually easier to buy from the producer’s website and pay shipping

I’m sure Amazon will be just fine but it seems like they’ll need to do something at some point.

Europe was more technologically advanced than India. I know it is popular with revisionism, because people like to explain away Western dominance as if being alone about excelling at being a bigger asshole than everybody else.

Reality is that Europe conquered the world because it was economically and technologically superior to all other nations. Neither India nor China had modern science that developed in Europe in the age of enlightenment. There was nobody like Galileo Galilei, da Vinci, Kepler, Newton, Leibniz, Descart, Pascal, Christiaan Huygens, James Watt, Newcomb etc outside of Europe. This is just a small selection of European thinkers from that era. These was a huge number of them involved in all areas of science and engineering.

All this stuff meant Europe could mass produce high quality guns, cannons, warships etc. It meant Europe could mechanize all sorts of production. Produce steam engines etc.

I am not writing this to suggest that Indians or Chinese are somehow inherently lesser people. Development fluctuates over time. In periods India and China was more developed than Europe. However many developments happened in Europe which caused European development to get supercharged and move ahead. This wasn't colonization. Rather colonization was made possible due to technological, economic and social development which gave Europeans and advantage over their competitors.
>There really needs to be a term for this widespread inability to differentiate between 'the science' as in the correct application of the scientific method to arrive at empirical conclusions about the world around us and 'The Science' as in the socio-political institution of various experts and technocrats.

The issue is that, at least in the US, it has become politically advantageous to claim that the socio-political institution of 'The Science' has given its imprimatur to the policies they wish to enact. It's advantageous to combine the institution with the process, so why would anyone stop?

Couple that with a media environment that seems fundamentally incapable of reading beyond the headline of any scientific publication, and the proliferation of p-hacking and less then replicable studies being churned out by academics who need N articles to have a chance at tenure this decade and...you get a situation where 'The Science' is whatever a bureaucrat in a lab coat says it is.

Vulkan ray tracing typically uses GLSL as shader language. DirectX Raytracing (DXR) uses HLSL (but is restricted to run only on Windows).

Because Vulkan ray tracing is cross-platform, I have chosen GLSL for this project.

WGSL is the shader language of WebGPU. But I believe WebGPU does not support hardware ray tracing, yet.

Ordering is an expensive property.

I built a system where

1. Sensor events were picked up by a ZWave device connected to Samsung SmartThings
2. SmartThings would call a AWS lambda function I wrote (SmartThings lives in AWS so this is efficient)
3. My lambda function posts an event to an SQS queue
4. My home server takes the event off SQS and posts it to RabbitMQ
5. A queue listener takes events from RabbitMQ and takes an action

So long as I was using ordered SQS queues I would sometimes get a 5 second delay to turn on a light. When I turned off ordering the latency was perceptible but didn't make me want to jam the button multiple times.
"Young democrats less likely to date/befriend/work for/support people who voted for Trump" is different on two counts from "Young democrats despise republicans." "Republicans" are not "Trump voters", and the alternative to befriending/supporting is not "despising". E.g. I would answer this question the same way, and yet I am friends with republicans and don't despise the Trump voters I know. Framing things this way is exactly a symptom of and instigator of the very bitterness it feigns to demonstrate.

If I'm reading this correctly, this is "protection against severe disease" and has little to do with transmission. The National Airport Data from Israel seems to suggest "the absolute number of infected individuals in the Vaccinated (boosted) group is likely to be at least as high as in the Unvaccinated" [0]

So it seems to me that as long as we all remain obsessed with case numbers and not actual hospitalizations and death, this isn't going away, at least not anytime soon. I personally find this beyond depressing.

The immune response to the booster isn't necessary the same as the response to the second dose, so no, it isn't the same study.

One impact is that antibody levels are higher after the booster than after the second dose.

From what I recall, the Pfizer series provides the best protection against COVID-19. If these preliminary reports show a 40% reduction in neutralizing antibodies, I suspect the other vaccines will see significantly higher reductions and less efficiency.

I didn’t select Pfizer the first time around. But I am hoping their booster should be sufficient enough.

> Among the 42 patients, 9 (21%) had a diagnosis of COVID19 pneumonia. Among the 9 pneumonia patients, 8 were unvaccinated and 1 was a child. There were 4 patients in high care and 1 in the ICU.

Not surprising at all. Unvaccinated communities are going to get hit the hardest with Omicron.

I bet they had leaked this article to Wall st. yesterday and that's why we saw the markets rise sharply.
I think it has to do with the number of people who've adopted the advancement. I've spent hours a day online since before this article came out, and it's much less of a social 'problem' than it used to be because now it's understood that sometimes people check things + I can easily do so on the go vs. being tethered to the desktop (and wired Internet).

Plus more 'normal' people are 'addicts' now. The only people spending tons of time online back in the 90s were weirdos who were REALLY into some aspect of it (for me, it was web design and UI/UX though of course I had no idea there was a term for it). We're not addicted to electricity, but I bet people were side-eyeing the first people who were obsessed enough to learn wiring and hook up their houses themselves.

We also had a similar reaction to television, which followed a similar pattern: My grandfather who was born in the 1910s was a factory worker who was OBSESSED with TVs when they were invented. His basement was full of parts and Franken-TVs. He was an 'addicted weirdo' in the 1930s and 1940s but by the time he died in the 1990s EVERYBODY was spending hours a day in front of a TV.
