> (probably because of whatever change makes it more transmissible but still basically random chance/evolutionary pressure)

That's the trick. Delta already appears to be very, very transmissible. If Omicron's growth is due entirely to improved transmissibility, then it would have to spread in a non-distanced, vulnerable population at an implausibly high rate, comparable to some of the most transmissible viruses ever studied.

However, if Omicron's improved spread is partially through immune escape, then its growth could be explained through reinfections and breakthrough infections -- people who are largely immune to Delta are contracting a mild case of Omicron. That does not make the variant inherently less deadly, since it's not an apples-to-apples comparison on the ill populations.

It will probably be some time yet before we have reliable statistics on the severity of Omicron in the never-infected, never-vaccinated cohort. In the meantime, there's reasonable cause to be concerned for vulnerable people (elderly, people with lung conditions, or the immunocompromised) who are partially relying on low community infection rates for their personal protection.
It’s not traditional css and you need to accept that if you want to work with it. It has a load of benefits in a different dimension to css, and personally I think they’re worth the trade off.

My main issue with it is the inability to control the order of precedence with the css rules. It’s mostly fine, but when you have runtime rules around, say, colouring text based on a few different variables, it turns into a bit of mess. Unfortunately because of the way it works there’s no way to implement “last rule wins” at runtime.

> The proportion of what media dedicates time to (this includes social media) is not proportional to how often those things happen. In fact, it's often the opposite. Sensational, rare and objectionable things get disproportionate coverage.

That's historically been the case when it comes to mainstream media and often used to dismiss claims of excessive force by police as exceptional. However with social media we can see that it's not an isolate or exceptional thing but rather a common every day occurrence.

Though I've never been arrested or accosted by the police, I have been on the receiving end of their abuse of power many times in my life. I know first hand that the police and legal system abuse their power to penalize individuals who do not offer full compliance and blindly accept their asserted authority.

Zig is general purpose and isn't really focused on embedded as much as it's focused on being flexible enough to also support embedded development.

Configurable allocators are present in other languages (iirc rust allows it at the crate level, in C++ https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/allocator) but in zig the style makes allocating functions explicit which is nice even for regular application development. It's a bit like Haskell being explicit about side-effects (IO Monad, Eff, etc). Also, passing the allocator in zig is just a convention and not enforced by the compiler so you could use `std.heap.page_allocator` or any other global allocator anywhere in your code without passing it in but then your code is less flexible.

Now for the use of the, imagine you need to serve a HTTP request; you pass an ArenaAllocator to the request handler which can allocate memory by need and without a need for calling free() for small objects. Once the handler has generated a response, the caller can free up all of the allocated memory in one step rather than having small deallocations all over for memory that will only have a life-time for the duration of the request. The handler itself doesn't need to know that it's being used this way and can be written to call free in the usual manner to be compatible with other allocators (free() with ArenaAllocator is a "nop").

Imagine you have a game, there you'll likely allocate a huge chunk at the start for all of your resources then use your own custom allocators within to both isolate systems from one another along with allowing different strategies based on your usecase. You might not always know which compiler will be best but since it's a parameter you can easily test or even decide at runtime on the strategy to use.

Growing up in the 70's and 80's I was pretty convinced we'd never see the year 2000 as a society. The 90's were a welcome shock, with the fall of the Berlin Wall, end of Apartheid and a provisional peace in Northern Island amongst other positive signs.

Global warming was there, but seemed much less likely to cause the apocalypse compared to nuclear war.
It's Google's fault that the title is the only field that is searchable. They're never going to add a searchable "ads" field.
I'm in my mid-30s. Certainly didn't grow up with video content. I have a shelf full of books which I've learnt a lot from. But I've also learnt an enormous amount from videos. They are good for different things.

Take food, for example. I have books that go into great detail about how to make bread. Each ingredient (of which there are only four) are discussed in detail. The history of bread and its influence on culture is covered. But when it comes to kneading dough, nothing beats watching someone do it. Even the best book in the world can't replace that.

I learn a lot from watching others work. When I watch videos I'm learning more from what they don't talk about than what they do talk about. I think it requires being selective. There are some videos of really talented and skilled people out there who might not be great communicators. These are treasure. On the other hand, there are shiny videos with attractive presenters filled with trivial fluff you could have gleaned from one page of a text book. Like with anything, you just have to learn what's worth your time and what isn't.
> Is TailwindUI an alternate to Bulma ?

Kind-of. People usually pick one or the other, but they're not alternatives in the same sense as Bulma vs. Bootstrap vs. Zurb Foundation.

Bulma has opinions about structure and style, and its value proposition is providing out-of-the-box components so you can skip spending brain cycles on that design work. At a high level, Bulma believes projects reuse a lot of design patterns, and those shouldn't have to be rethought each time you need them.

Tailwind doesn't care what you want your project to look like, or how it's structured. Tailwind's value proposition is streamlining you choosing your own design, and removing footguns from that process. At a high level, Tailwind believes cookie-cutter styles are typically less reusable than you hope, that you should instead optimize for tailoring design patterns to each place they're used, and that style reuse is better implemented by e.g., React components than a CSS framework.

I haven't had time to watch the full talk yet, so sorry if this is answered there.

When python resolves 'import' statements, it looks for the modules based on the PYTHONPATH. Although not done that often, it is possible to modify the PYTHONPATH at runtime, changing what an imported symbol will resolve to. How do you handle situations like that?

Just from a hypothetical stand point, someone could take advantage of this to make it seem like the library is linking to a safe implementation of a function such that when using this feature people are directed to the safe implementation. Then at runtime without the user knowing, they could dynamically change the PYTHONPATH so a malicious version of the function is loaded.

I don't think that is a good characterization of FSF philosophy. Better characterization is maximizing freedom for the [end-]user, as opposed to, for you, the developer, or other parties involved.

> millions of users are also prevented from using their work.

That is extremely weird to blame on GNU (sort of akin to "victim-shaming"). First, how are they prevented exactly, when the can download whatever GNU bash they want themselves? Second, it is Apple's deliberate choice to boycott and not to ship the software due to a perceived burden on them (or rather their active desire to keep unreasonable control,) than a legitimate concern imposed by the GNU GPL license. If any user is deprived of anything you got to blame Apple first for doing so.
Ouf - I was just reading the first bit, later on they get hilariously benign at some points. I'm not certain if there's some meme context I'm missing but "Feet are the bodies thermostat" and "Hope you have a great day!" seems pretty far from anything I'd consider toxic without a lot more context.

Wikipedia is great at obfuscating simple ideas in complex math. The "Efficient computation" explains the idea well, but it could be made even simpler. The amplitude squaring step drops the phase there.
As it turns out that’s a myth. AIDS, rabies, measles, Ebola, Marburg, Hep A/B/C: none of these viruses have gotten milder, in 60+ years of evolution. There are Egyptian mummies showing signs of smallpox, a disease that killed 350,000,000 people in the 20th century, more than two millennia later.

It’s also quite obvious, mechanistically: COVID doesn’t lose many infections by eventually killing the patient who, by then, is obviously sick and most often in the hospital. It gets 80%+ of retransmission even before symptoms appear, removing all evolutionary pressure from the later stages.

You are free to argue the technicalities of each individual case, but the fact of the matter is Americans do live under violent state apparatus that does not exist anywhere in magnitude to other comparable OCED nations. It's not hyperbole to say that Americans enjoy less freedoms than their democratic counterparts. You asking "what more can be done, the courts found him innocent" in the face of clear injustice is eye-opening; if that's case every country is free - after all if the courts of Supreme Leader Kim said so, what more can you do?

Part of the problem is the difficulty in gathering that evidence. Law enforcement routinely fails to report at all levels. The GAO slammed the DOJ for it's failure to do so for the last 5 years.

Well, it is kind of a hash of their name, no?
The one thing that I can say definitely makes it a bad set is that it includes the popular phrase "Let's go, Brandon" by itself as a toxic statement.

For anybody still unaware, they were interviewing the winner of a NASCAR race on live television and the crowd was chanting "Fuck Joe Biden", the interviewer said that they were chanting "Let's go, Brandon". Because, you know, you can't acknowledge the swears.

This has become picked up as a sort of dog-whistle/shibboleth by those who still support President Trump. Even in places where saying "Fuck Joe Biden" is completely allowed. Which is any place that will let you swear.

Now, within the parameters of the data set, the statement "Fuck Joe Biden" would get classified as toxic. Just as "Fuck Donald Trump" would.

But, you do need the context to understand that "Let's go, Brandon" really means "Fuck Joe Biden" and is therefore toxic. If you train on this set, you could run the risk of confusing statements like "Let's go, Bradley" as toxic even though Bradley is just some dude. Or statements made to or about a guy named Brandon.
I started doing this for a niche area: US and European regulations and guidance documents for Good Laboratory Practice, and later for Canadian Cannabis regulations. Basically I created a standard XML schema for regulations and parsed them into XML [1]. This allowed for e.g. presenting tables of contents and section folding, pulling and linking definitions into their own search engine, etc. [2]

I thought that I could easily write a parser for each jurisdiction's formats, and then get predicate rules and related regulations for free.

I was wrong. a) there are many jurisdictions and sub-groups all doing their own thing; and b) most don't have any standard document formatting or tagging, let alone a defined structure. Even in the most structured formats (like the US eCFR's XML) the focus is on display rather than content. In the worst cases it was just whoever wrote up the Word document chose how they numbered and formatted chapters and sections etc.

There were so many special cases that it was a huge amount of work to add or update each document, and I ended up doing a lot of categorization and fixing by hand.

[1] I know people hate XML on HN, but I did my research and had specific reasons for choosing it at the time, including human readable, nesting sections, being able to easily publish and validate a schema, etc.

Ooh that's a good one. Right now, our lookups are only within the single repository. And so if you had two files that _could_ provide the same (fully qualified) symbol, we aren't doing any PYTHONPATH analysis to determine which one it is. We'll show you both.

We do eventually want to support cross-repository use cases, and there, the answer boils down to needing to find the set of dependencies in which to do the search. One we have that, it's no different than an in-repo case — we look for any file in any of the repos (yours and your dependencies) that could provide the symbol that we're currently looking for.

So, short version, we'd be aiming for a solution where we'd be able to show you both the “good” and “bad” definitions, and let you the user decide how to use that information.

My big problem with YouTube recommendations isn't that they're so good that I get sucked in; it's that they're so bad. I would happily spend more time on the site watching interesting videos if they only would show up in my recommendation feed.

Instead, I get recommended the same old crap, all coming from a small set of the same video categories over and over again (except for the occasional America's Got Talent or any other clip that've reached over 100 million views). It's not like I don't like airplane and board repair videos, but it's not the only thing that I'm interested in, which YouTube seems to think.

Show me something new! Try recommending a video about how to grow flowers or about Titanic rather than thinking that the only thing I'm interested in are whatever I've been watching for the last couple of months.
I wanted to love tachyons before Tailwind was a thing. I jumped to Tailwind as soon as it released because it was configurable. The tachyons way of changing the defaults, such as colours or breakpoints, last I checked years ago, was using search/replace or forking the repo and adding your changes. Eh, no thanks.

Tailwind is better in every way, and JIT is a killer feature.
