I think that would be very tricky to decouple variables here. The vaccine seems to reduce mortality from COVID, but if the vaccine were killing x% itself, the vaccine would only have to be more effective at saving from COVID than killing for that safety signal to be lost. In short, comparing vaxxed vs unvaxxed mortality alone isn't likely to tell you if you have a vaccine safety signal.
I would love it to be, but it won't, I concede.

Its energy and resource consumption cap is proportional to its unit price times block reward. For the foreseeable future, as long as number go up, consumption will go up. And this is the most critical time for climate change in our lives. Any green energy we generate must go to displacing carbon-intensive processes or we'll be trading bitcoin for citrus from rafts on waterworld.

The worst part is, once we run out of block reward, there's no guarantee people will be willing to pay enough per transaction to actually secure the network to any meaningful degree, so all this resource consumption today may well be for nothing.
That sounds like a great setup. I switched to a Nikon with a 40mpx sensor and their new mirrorless lenses are crazy sharp, even the cheap ones. I have all they have released and it seems even the kit lenses are sensor limited. Incidentally, i really dont like any of those lenses for potraits of ordinary people, with no makeup and fancy lighting and postprocessing. Every skin por, every small imperfection shows. For this I default to the old lenses and the subjects are happy.
Each state has a office that deals with and licenses dealerships. If he put down a deposit and had paperwork, it might be worth it to look them up. They can basically close down a dealership at will.
Their algorithms find it more engaging if I have to click through 50 crappy links to find one good one. If I spend 5 extra minutes browsing Google, that's a great metric, right?
Yes you were locked in and yes they could adjust the price. I got around that by going through a dealer in the Costco network. I figured the full force of Costco would be enough to prevent shenanigans and it worked.
Heh, I am glad I read the comments here. I bought a piece of land (a garden basically), and it has an old house / shack where the roof needs to go. I am debating internally for two days now if I should replace the roof myself or not or just bite the bullet and pay somebody. I am on a kind of a sabbatical so in theory I have time, and the idea is tempting, but it's definitely not software.
Nahhhh. Just looks like they ran out of ideas and remixed the Olympics logo

Hard to judge your numbers without knowing the baseline since 10x growth means very very different things at 100k MRR vs 1M MRR, but you are right that fundraising takes a lot of energy, and frankly there are strings attached whether you are connected or not. If you are already profitable and have good momentum there is huge value in controlling your own destiny.
Interesting investigation. I don't remember having this problem when playing the GOG version, but may be I didn't have a lot of input devices?
Bitcoin has a built in inflation schedule. If you believe that over long term price inflation of scarce assets (like New York real estate) will follow the inflation of the emission of the currency (which I believe), Bitcoin will make sure it will stay under 1% in the future.

Right now Bitcoin is in the adoption phase, that’s why people are seeing the crazy price moves, but I expect it to normalize in the future (maybe 10 years from now).

Cool idea! I'm pretty busy a.t.m. but just in case, I'll toss my hat out there.

About me:

-PhD in physics, specialty in optical spectroscopy for fusion reactor plasmas

-Familiar with basic optics, analog circuit design & fabrication, signal
processing, sensor fusion, data analysis, visualization, physics-based modeling & parameter inference (including tomography), Bayesian methods, & MCMC

-Very comfortable with the scientific python stack (Numpy/Scipy/Matplotlib/xarray), some experience with Julia (esp. SciML/ModelingToolkit)

Projects I'd be interested in (mostly stuff I've been meaning to try my hand at but haven't gotten around to):

-Unsupervised/self-supervised learning on real-world data (incl. algorithmic trading)

-Machine vision (and/or analysis of other sensory modes) for robotics

-Brain-inspired (ie, systems-neuroscience-based) AGI approaches (ex. hierarchical temporal memory, predictive coding, sparse distributed representations)

-Information-theoretic approaches to AGI (ex: total correlation explanation, free energy methods)

-Causal/generative/physics-based approaches to AGI

-Renewable energy & clean tech: battery systems modeling, demand/weather forecasting, or hardware projects

-Off-the-wall physics ideas: I'd be willing to listen to them & provide feedback. I'm personally interested in trying to reformulate quantum mechanics starting from geometric/Clifford algebra and Bayesian probability theory, as a way to make it more intuitive.

This means tripling revenue growth for the first two years and then doubling for the next two years.
The 5 year thing is an exaggeration, but it definitely isn't a myth. The midwest and new england area gets a lot more snow than the western US outside small mountain towns. Also, the western US tends to use more environmentally friendly road salts that also don't cause as much corrosion as rock salt (NaCl). In the east, roads are heavily salted with rock salt and it is (or was common when I lived there) for cars to to be heavily rusted out 10 years in. People still drive those cars, but parts break more frequently.

When I moved to California in 2007, a local mechanic freaked out about all the rust on my 2001 car and advised me to sell it immediately. I kept that car and eventually sold it on to someone from the east coast who didn't see any issues.

Duck autocorrect.
They lace everything with fentanyl in the US, I just dunno why. Is it actually cheaper?! If so, why? They put this into Xanax bars (alprazolam). Why? I expect fentanyl to be more expensive than alprazolam. It actually is in Europe. How common are accidental fentanyl overdoses in the US vs. Europe?

> Premise: FOMO is good. Being plugged in is good. There is valuable info at all levels from twitter gossip to philosophy books. You should stay plugged in. You can manage anxiety and beat the House without resorting to shaming social platforms into managing attention for you. That's a terrible yielding of agency.

> What the "unplug for self-care" crowd doesn't get is that you are part of a Giant Social Computer in the Cloud (GSCITC) computing the future. The level and latency at which you consume information and act on it determines your "job" in the social computer. Your shitposting and FOMO are functional.

> The reason the unplugging doesn't work for most people is not that the Evil Platform Companies are trying to hack your attention and turn you into a helpless addict (though they are) but because you rationally realize you need a job in the GSCITC.

I stopped reading shortly after as the article did indeed rely on the above premises, and I find those premises absurd.

I work in cloud software, I live in Western Europe, a large chunk of my friends are an international/academic crowd. Nevertheless, of the happiest and/or successful and/or admirable people I've met, barely any of them use social media to an appreciable extent. They might share a cool tattoo from Instagram or belong to a Facebook group for their hobbies or post their latest hike on Relive, but that's about it.

None of them, as far as I know, spends a single minute a day reading "Twitter gossip". They are most definetely not "plugged in". I cannot think of a single way in which their lives are worse as a result.

If you find the article persuasive, I presume you do agree with the premise. Can you help me understand why?
The linked piece and video are very amateurish attempts to explain what has been well-studied by reputable linguists. We can do better.

Very easy to read and nobody has covered the subject better. https://separatedbyacommonlanguage.blogspot.com

I found surprisingly little material about "how to program AVX/AVX2". That said here's what I used so far:

* Intel AVX Programming Reference [0] - comprehensive but not very useful as "where do I even start"

* Godbolt[1] to look at code samples produced by compilers. This is good to see how the instructions work together.

* A random discussion that has *some* concepts behind the YMM registers[2]

* Stack Overflow, for example [3]

I’m not a native speaker, but there seems to be something inappropriately judgmental about the wording of “keeping in check”. Loneliness is hard for many and causes suffering, and drugs are sometimes used to try to manage suffering. More use is linked to more accidents.

> Not that anything about this shed is built to code

This is why we can't have nice, or at least affordable but slightly less than perfect, things. I would also note that, while I'm sure everyone's right about the rules in Santa Cruz, this is jurisdiction specific. In the UK, if your shed is less than 15m^2 and is not used as living accomodation, no building regulations apply, and you can build it with screws, nails, or corrugated cardboard and PVA glue if you're so inclined.

It's impossible to get accurate information about travel, hotels, locations. Results are often filled with listicle crap that each copy each other and contain outdated pop content.

Suppose a Google competitor emerged that produced wonderful results in every category. Within a week, tens of thousands of SEO specialists will be on the case, reverse-engineering the magic and figuring out how to get their crappy sites back to the top of the rankings. The wonderful results would quickly degrade, and it's unclear as to whether this new small company would have the resources to keep up.

thanks for responding. why does bitcoin remove this cantillion effect? Remember that Roger Ver, who was in the room when Segwit 2 was discussed, decided to go forth with the bitcoin cash fork, which pleased the miners. It appears to me that miners are able to turn profit, that's why we see new mining facilities popping up around the world.
also, does the market actually select the most efficient technology? Anecdotally speaking, crypto "investors" en masse appear to know very very little about the underlying tech - most appear to invest because "number goes up"
Finally, there is legitimate risk of societal collapse on the table due to climate collapse. Is that something you factored into your perspective?
Carfentanyl is probably responsible for a significant fraction of the overdose attributed to fentanyl :

Not that fentanyl is safe but some addicts, like Denise in the article, used to be able to use it without dying, the same is almost impossible to do with carfentanyl.
Are you able to elaborate? Do you mean in the article or in the comments?

Is it weaponized SEO, though? Because I have been adding "wikipedia" recently to many of my searches. Google has penalized Wikipedia in search results significantly (at least for me). I'm not sure what's the logic behind especially that 1. Wikipedia is trustworthy and ad-free and 2. I click mostly Wikipedia, so from a MLearning perspective I should be getting more wikipedia results.
Documentation would be a part of it but not really what im talking about. First step would be learning to recognize the thoughts that keep buzzing around in your head, like if are frequently noticing that you keep thinking "I gotta do X, which requires me to do Y, and this is how i should do Y but im not sure about Z and whether or not i do Z or Y first so now im thinking about how i should do Z".

Then those things need to get offloaded to some kind of note system. Just a text file can work, or a doc, or a paper notebook... It's good to write down the things you need to do, but also anything important about how you wanted to do them, or any inter-depencies you might forget about if you "offload" them now. Any thoughts you are 100% confident you can regenerate trivially dont get written down.

Once you have them stored, you need to mentally recognize that you no longer need to think about those things. It's kind of vague but thats the best i got. Then all the space it was taking up is free, and you're free to focus in on something more specific.
Tip: add NHS or CDC to the end of any health search to get better results from the NHS or CDC instead of however many pages of grifter sites.

You're right, you'd have to test whether people in each group are infected with COVID, and correct for that. Should still be doable. Would also need to correct for age and co-morbidities (doable), and also for differences in behaviour (hard).
Luckily we don't need too vivid an imagination to find the answer. The data shows that the main cause of higher death rates is covid, not loneliness.
SEO is so annoying, I recently searched "Is XYZ healthy?", then just some blogs/lifestyle magazines/whatever showed up, just written in an absolutely verbose manner. I would have expected Yes/No, not 4 paragraphs introduction, some about the advantages, some about the disadvantages and so on.
It's been a long time coming, but it seems to have hit a critical point recently where it's so obviously bad that it's becoming very apparent.
Cyber attack on UK's Defence Academy had 'significant' impact
The article in NYT nevertheless states:

"A 2014 study found that 6 percent of patients who screened positive obtained an abortion without getting another test to confirm the result."

Maybe people aren't informed enough. It is my experience that some doctors tend to cut conversations short and some people are shy/insecure enough not to pry answers out of them.

In this case, that would be a tragedy, given that statistically 5 of those 6 aborted fetuses were healthy.

Edit: I found the following comment in the comment section of this article, which appears to address the same issue:

I am a physician with a PhD in Biomedical Informatics. Most patients who receive these tests do not see a maternal fetal medicine doctor or genetic counselor, and no one actually explains that the tests they are receiving are “screening” or “diagnostic.” Your opinion that this article does a disservice to patients reflects your unrealistic assumption that most of the doctors ordering these tests are actually communicating effectively with patients (or frankly, even understand the tests themselves). In my experience, they usually aren’t/don’t. Articles like this “fill the gap” on patient education when doctors are unable to explain math and risk (i.e., most of the time).
The socialising of healthcare and de-privatisation of prisons would probably resolve it ;).
I found out today that one of my reddit comments (along with many random others) had been scrapped out and automatically put back together (together with those many random other that is) on a blogspot page. I stumbled upon that page today as I was googling for a very specific topic, it went something like this: that SERP looks really interesting, nice! => this page looks like spam => this page is spam => damn, that bunch of text is really mine.

The effects of covid on the pancreas are interesting to me. I started having what appear to be pancreatic issues in May. I'm wondering if it may have been triggered by an otherwise asymptomatic covid infection but I'm not sure how to confirm.
And it's not just opiate users. People buying coke & 'molly' are overdosing too from fent and analogues too.

Why in the world would a dealer put fent into coke. I guess a speedball feels great but the average weekend partier doing a bump or a pill are not looking to walk that death tightrope.

Just sad all around and we still have a long way to go with stigma and science based treatment.

If you happen to be in that scene might be a good idea to start carrying naloxone.
So basically there was no dedicated room inside the house for WFH before?

When you use your shed, what are the aspects that you came to value? E.g. is it more about the feeling of nature (because the garden is much closer) or is it more about the sound-separation from the rest of the home? Or would you be as happy with a dedicated room within your house?
Yes, you could do it in any number of ways with a rewrite, but the point is that the format is likely as close to a 1:1 encoding of the document package.
