They pretty much did end the Delta pandemic in the Bay Area. We had a minor spike up and then it subsided without any major restrictions or strain on the healthcare system. Vaccination rates are 95%+ where I am, so 0.95 * 0.9 = 0.855 and it was still over the herd immunity threshold.
While practical and maybe inevitable, this approach will alienate exactly the kind of people you want on your side if you want to _actually_ reach your goal and course correct when needed.

Instead you will attract people who will happily pretend to be on the right path and will keep performing rain dances on titanic.

What you propose can work if it is a technocratic conspiracy where people who know what's going on maintain power and can update direction relatively easily (we were always at war with Eurasia). Then again, there is always a risk of losing real power to one of the mid-rank rain-dancing activists and screw up the whole project, maybe for good.
Great. What's the counterargument? Just because it's a trope doesn't mean it's not true. PoW is insanely inefficient compared to traditional database technology, doesn't actually replace "the banking system" (so both have to run at the same time), and in practice only provides theoretical decentralization since most people invest in crypto through intermediaries.
Should I have simply flagged bradleybuda's original comment instead? I did that first, then thought that a substantive comment was better (edit: and unflagged it).
For Windows the reason they couldn't switch to LP64 is because they screwed up the type system with LONG and allowed it to be incorporated into OS structs. That prevents long from being 64-bit for the sake of rationality.
A bit late with this reply, but the answer is: Make patches internally, to work around the problematic areas. Often done to avoid the legal necessity to contribute it back upstream. For example, hook code at runtime to jump out to Apple specific changes that are now not part of the OSS codebase directly.

> We 'don't talk about' the fact that we don't give medical aid to COVID patients past a certain point because we have to put a dollar figure on it (i.e. triage)

That's not how triage works.

> similarly the fact we have $1200 'solutions' to COVID that could probably wipe it out without vaccines if we could get everyone the tech, but we can't 'afford' it,

What is this mysterious cure?

> or that masks do not protect you like wearing a gas mask through a chlorine cloud, rather, they're minimally protective but nevertheless we believe 'do make difference' and we want people to wear them, so we don't talk about it in detail, rather, just suggest or require them as policy in some locales.

That's a known fact. Masks don't really protect the wearer unless it's a properly fitted N95. They reduce the aerosol emitted which reduces the chances of transmitting it to other people. They protect a group of people if most wear them by limiting transmission.

That's high school level biology.
Governments requiring it to work regularly again is the only "marketing material" you need.
Bloomberg didn't just claim "evil" BMC, but very specific things that nobody ever could confirm, and Bloomberg never supplied any evidence about. If the Bloomberg reporting, or any followup, had been anywhere close to e.g. the reporting in this blog post in detail, then they would have a believable case.
There are two huge things your 5 minute setup is missing which are very hard techinically to tackle

1. Incrementally updating the search space. Not that easy to do, and becomes more important to not just do the dumb thing of retraining the entire index on every update for larger datasets.

2. Combining vector search and some database-like search in an efficient manner. I don't know if this Google post really solves that problem or if they just do the vector lookup followed by a parallelized linear scan, but this is still an open research/unsolved problem.
wow great stuff, thanks for posting!
Tesla’s “don’t blame us it’s beta software” schtick is getting real old. No other automaker deflects all blame on faulty safety related system that way.
Just because no one is right 100% of the time (clearly not possible) doesn't mean that no one knows what they are talking about.

I don't drink beer, so no. But if I did go to bars and drink beer, I'm sure I would meet someone like that even in deep liberal Seattle.
Like how chess computers have changed how humans play chess, the recursive GPT-3 + marking gobbledygook feedback loop has made humans who write like computers. I cant tell if the post im replying to is a person being serious, a computer being serious, a person being a troll, or a computer emulating trolls. Or a cyborg hybrid of all the above.

The whole post reads extremely formulaic.

Repeat what what was just said -> "Unfortunately lying on a resume remains a huge problem that has been left untouched."

Made up claim of leadership in a non existent field -> "We've lead innovation in the space of resume software for the past couple of years now"

Future promise to keep attention, or claim of something new that is identical to old -> "so adding this download option is a step towards the solution"

= no
Omicron will overwhelm hospitals.

I'm not sure what you mean by "allowed to spread" -- people didn't want to lock down for alpha or delta, and they're no appetite for lockdown now, especially for something like omicron which is widely (but mistakenly) perceived to be "less dangerous" than delta. Because of the increased transmissibility any lockdown would have to be pretty fierce.

> Though it's actually quite painful, slow, expensive, and lacks all of the benefits of traditional transactions so everyone avoids it if possible.

It’s really not. For several years, paying with crypto has been faster and easier than credit card or PayPal.

No arbitrary blocks, guessing traffic lights, aligning shipping and billing names and zip codes, figuring which card will work for what country and payment processor, biyearly renewals, SMS confirmations, risk of having it abused despite having good opsec, being on the phone with PayPal, etc etc.

I just open my wallet, unlock it used my preferred method, [scan a qr code/copy-paste something], click OK, done.

I understand that many people on HN get profiled “white” enough by “the algorithms” to not have to experience the Kafkaesque frustration of the status quo.

For the rest of us, cryptocurrency is faster, easier, and sometimes cheaper. Today.

Lol. Where did you read your history of science? Totally bizarre.
I have nothing against the act of flying a plane. But we should follow the lead of New Zealand, Hong Kong and South Korea and impose a mandatory quarantine of two weeks in a dedicated quarantine facility for all international travelers arriving in the US.
It's still not clear to me if there's a difference between imagining I'm seeing something and actually seeing something in my head. When I imagine what it's like to see something, of course it has colors, shapes, etc. I can also imagine what a room would look like from a particular vantage point (although I may not be as skillful as it as someone who has practiced doing it and experimented with computer graphics). I guess I'm still curious if there's truly any difference in our experiences. I wonder if optical illusions work when we're picturing things in our head.
Even that site, though, feeds into audiophile irrationality. The DAC reviews, for example, throw a bunch of measurements at you, but there is no way a human could hear the difference in the best and worst DAC.
I am not well-versed in Go, but isn't it because Go supports specifying multiple parameters with the same type by just using a comma. Your suggestion would lead to syntactic ambiguity except when only a single parameter is provided. Additionally one can provide only types when parameter values are not needed and this requires there to be a typename to differentiate between no parameters.
Reading this gave me a kind of horrifying idea that goes something like:

You know about a deadly disease whose most serious outcomes can be avoided by getting a shot.

Many members of a group in your society have decided they don't want to get the shot. You are annoyed by the way they talk about a lot of things, including the way they talk about avoiding the shot. They, in turn, call you "smug" for the way your group talks about having everyone get the shot.

You realize that if the other tribe keeps acting this way, a lot of them will die -- 1% of them overall, and as many as 10-15% of the oldest members of the tribe, with them having a fresh chance to die with every mutation and reinfection every 12 months.

You realize that smugly insisting that those people should "get the shot" will make them dig in their heels and insist they will never do any such thing. This will, in turn, kill them. This will diminish their tribe's size and political influence. Is this a plan? Is it a thing you are doing on purpose?
Seriously? You need to be told that?
Why do touchpads exist? First thing I do is disable them.

If you lie, or omit the truth and get caught, they will never listen to anything you say ever again.
Portability of shells/binary injection and the associated layers often come with extreme vulnerabilities that are often not officially discovered for years. Convenience is often the reason many new vulnerabilities are introduced. Cool project for hobby purposes but be cautious when using this sort of thing on production systems especially on those housing data of any importance.
That's a correct summary. This is the reason why people who join Apple suddenly abandon their OSS projects.

It's worth noting there was a huge debate internally about this around the time I left, with many people dissatisfied with the policy.
Also how about italics / bold and heading / date subheading formatting. Perhaps there is a short manual editing step before publishing?
> The school district might have 100 employees but have 100 active pensions. Compare that to having 100 employees being paid 5% more and 0 pensions..

A bit more than 5%, but exactly (about $30k/year to fully fund a 401k from employee and employer side, sans whatever the employee contribution was before).

I'm not sure I like this change. I liked interface{} since it just works out naturally from Go's relatively simple type system, and anyone could come to the conclusion without actually being told "use interface{} to represent any possible value" just by having an understanding of that type system. Adding what is simply a type alias, multiple words for the same underlying concept, to me just feels like jargon. I admire Go for its simplicity and clarity and this change gives me anxiety that that will be obfuscated.
>Stop driving, stop working, stop eating entirely, and then things will quickly recover.

... after "stop eating", stop breathing will soon follow. Why don't you go first? Why haven't you gone first already? Is it because humans just don't work like that? At all?

I mean, thanks. Your argument demonstrates precisely why "make less CO2" will never work: You believe it, and yet even you are still breathing.

(please don't stop breathing. i don't think your suggestion is serious, so neither is mine).

Yes, it must be 0, but people are people. You get 10 000 employees, probably some 7-8 000 of them are men, so the remaining 2 000 women will receive a lot of crap. Proportionally more than if the split was 50/50, so SpaceX needs to adjust for that.

Same is true in areas dominated by women, if you are the only guy in a group of female nurses you will almost certainly receive the most physically draining work the whole time for the same pay. You will also hear a lot of sexist jokes about men, and quite likely receive potentially unwanted sexual attention.
I didn't realize there was a "war" going on between the two groups.

If there is, I imagine it's not among the type of people who you'd want leading technical decisions at your company.
Because followers are interchangeable, but a leader is someone that wills something into being from nothing. It's incredibly demanding, most people can't even start a hot dog stand from scratch.
Agreed. I still have to come to terms to that myself so I use `decades` not to scare people too much but... also my understanding of the situation and evolution is not solid enough to get into an argument about decades vs lifetime so I stick to decades because it can also mean centuries :/.
No that should not happen. Integer types that adapt to the platform word size enhance portability. Nobody wants a 32-bit default int on an 8-bit platform and using uint8_t or uint16_t can introduce performance regressions on wider platforms. The traditional integer types are perfectly suited for scenarios where the exact width doesn't matter and you know the guaranteed minimum is good enough.

You’re not factoring in the petrol, maintenance and parking cost of that €3k car so I don’t feel it’s really a status symbol, it is pretty practical. Costs aside I literally don’t have anywhere to park a car. A cargo bike I can manage. I agree if you’ve already got a bike trailer it probably doesn’t bring much to the table though.

In the suburbs you typically have both. We have a yard to play in (not huge, but a good yard with a few trees to climb, a treehouse, etc) and we have a large park about 1 minute away on foot. It's not only the major cities that have parks.

Sometimes bandits are sloppy or have Dunning-Kruger, e.g. with pirated DVDs the sleeve art is just a hot mess of random words, but I guess if they were making fake chips they'd be a bit better at it. Or the guy they hired to do the Photoshop says he's real good but he's actually sloppy, and everyone else just sees random glyphs (imagine if you were having to copy an Arabic label, I assume you can't read Arabic).

Who cares about the advertising? The data is in, and the vaccines do both - they decrease your chance to be infected and they make symptoms much more mild if you are infected. The combination of factors is why hospitalisation rates in highly vaccinated countries plummeted.

Or at least they did until omicron. Unfortunately 2 doses of the existing vaccines are pretty ineffective against omicron. 3 doses make the vaccines work better - but I’m honestly a little concerned.

You could start a land trust of some kind. Massachusetts has a huge one called the Trustees and many of the best hiking trails and beaches are actually Trustees land.

There have been plenty of new backend approaches since the term Web 2.0 was minted. The important change was a shifting from one request per view to multiple requests that comprise a view: it was the client/server interaction patterns that were important.

The fact that you build your “web 3” application using Web 2.0 techniques (SPAs, etc) tells me that web 3 is not a thing. It’s another type of backend, and the web is designed to have those appear in perpetuity.
Those comparisons are a pet peave of mine. What kind of bridge can you automatically tear down and rebuild from a blueprint? Or be reliably built on top of layers of technology you barely understand. That does create moral hazard. But it can also be a solution.

While I agree 110% with everything you've said here, I think we should be careful to not rule out the possibility that our sensation of "hearing" may involve parts of the body ouside the ear. For example, I think it's a long shot, but there is some vague possibility that supersonic frequencies may be detectable by other parts of the body. I would prefer to not be in the group laughed at in 110 years from now: "back in the 21st century, those idiots thought that we only experienced sound through our ears".

That said this product and audiophilia in general is just pure unadulterated BS.

This is garbage. This would mean IT as we know it does not exist. Anything would be possible. We get high on LSD and jackin at the base of our heads, for instance. (I think LSD will stay at best micro dosing and it's a while before we can stop the body rejecting deep implants)

Is this what we are really doing, putting down tech that competes with our hip favourites, LARPing basically?

The 9 billion people will move to what the rich 1% who are HN are doing today. Anything old will stay. Some of the hip frameworks will die.

If MySQL has gone then the basic structure of the planet has changed and anything is legit. It's UBI and everyone is hanging with family. Very very possible a structural change like this happens. But it's not MySQL dead, AngularJS is taught in kindergarten.
