But Joe Rogan listeners aren't using Mendeley. These issues are separate, but you're angry at both and are somehow mixing them. The paywall can be circumvented via sci-hub. And more and more papers are now on biorxiv and similar.

And I don't think medical misinfo has much to do with Elsevier or academia. It's human nature, and the quality and degree of evidence-basedness of official communications doesn't really help.

Also, the words "misinformation" and "fact check" make my skin crawl.

If your conclusion is that the plebs is so dumb because they listen to Joe Rogan instead of The Science(TM), I think you're just digging in deeper.

Also, during the pandemic, many blue check Twitter accounts said it's a pity that so many conspiracy theorists and fake news believers are reading papers and playing around with data. They should just receive The Science, spoon-fed, and accept it, and too much thinking and reading hurts them. In other words, think about what you wish for. When other people are given access to data, they may reach different conclusions than the approved respectable media expert consensus.
Writing macros in Lisp when you don't have to is also generally discouraged. They're typically harder to write and debug than functions, so their use is best reserved for situations when the opposite would be true.
Not sure if it's any relation to TrueCar.com, but FWIW I used them 7(?) years ago to purchase a hard to find used car and had nothing but a good experience.

From my perspective as a Portlander, the PNWYLF and the Proud Boys might as well be on the same side. They're all hooligans looking for a fight. The fact that one side claims to be the good guys doesn't really excuse their behavior, and if the violent treatment of the neighbors during the black bloc occupation of the Red House was any indication, they'd not be any more fun to live under than the fascists. Vigilantes are vigilantes. Right wingers are attracted to vigilantism emotionally, but it's almost worse to hear it excused in intellectual and sociological terms by the educated left.

2020 left me with the unshakeable feeling that political activism of all kinds in Portland has been displaced by LARPing.

You didn't answer. Why do you draw the line there? What's so special about violence that it deserves special attention from the state, while other bad things don't? I see you've also added property rights now, which are a totally separate category from violence. Why these things in particular?

As Bradley said this implementation can be called more than 10 times within a 1 minute window. If it's called 9 times at the last second of one minute and 9 times at the start of the next minute, it will be called 18 times within a two second interval.

My own major debilating depression was such that I couldn't get out of bed other than to use the toilet. Worse than that I could see no reason to get out of bed and didn't care to get out of bed. Taking a shower and getting dressed was out of the question. I knew the strain I was causing in my family, but since I didn't feel anything, I couldn't feel enough empathy for them to do anything about it. I knew I used to love them, but that seemed a long time ago and there was no hope of ever feeling again. I thought about suicide often, but my inability to get motivated prevented me from carrying it out. I once had a bounce of energy so I started planning to kill myself and the weird thing was, that I felt the happiest I had ever felt in my life. It was such a feeling of peace and joy that it would soon be over.

Fortunately for me, my family would not tolerate me in this condition and forced to me to get out of bed and dragged me to doctors and checked me into mental health units until we found the right doctor who perscribed the right medication that worked. Turns out typical anti-depressants don't work on me because I am bipolar and was experiencing bipolar depression.

It's been three years of recovery now and I am very happy. I take my quatiepine every night and get the sleep I need so I don't relaspe into mania and then depression.

My family is not sophisticated about mental illness. They would rather not think about it. But the one thing they did is to refuse to let me remain in that state and forced me to take action.
Alternatives are often subjective criteria like "culture fit"

There's a vast territory of approaches that are neither leetcode hazing or culture fit tests. And which, while nuanced, are basically objective.

Work sample evaluations do quite well, for example. As do in-depth technical discussions about ... just about any subject the candidate claims to know about.

Neither of which have anything to do with "culture fit".
This is why it's so important to own and maintain the good older vehicles. Resto-modding reliable chassis like 1990s Lexus LS should become more popular. Developments in rapid prototyping, additive manufacturing, etc... all make this easier. I'd love to see more open-sourcing of aftermarket parts as well.

But then again, I'm a weirdo who pulled out a car's entire wire harness to install a CAN-BUS system and solid-state power distribution modules....

It's only radiation power in the way of the sun being our main heat source which slows our planet's cooling. Which is of course one huge fusion reactor. And if you were outside the protection of our magnetosphere and atmosphere its radiation would actually be pretty dangerous even at this distance.

The earth's core is just still hot from when it was formed. It's not being heated by an internal nuclear reaction.
You are over-complicating things. It is a terribly bad habit that will prevent you from achieving simple goals like a shed. Or prevent you from using the right level of simplicity for your software solutions at work.

How do I know? I have struggled against the habit for decades. I try to cultivate an admiration for any cowboy solution that is fast and achieves the goal.

Peace alone is beautiful. If violence happens on one side of the political spectrum or the other, it does not need to be quantified or compared. If one identifies with a political movement that engages in violence, the only valid response is to wake up in the middle of the night, startled by the racing in the chest, and realize that you no longer have a political existence. You have been made a political orphan.
Why would the ML algorithm necessarily change the scan. The radiologist could still look at the unadulterated MRI.
> I wonder if we could design an integer type with 63 bits of value, plus one bit of "overflow/underflow poison", such that any operation that would under/overflow would saturate that bit to one, but otherwise still perform the operation on the value part. That would allow to coalesce multiple checks while keeping safety even in the presence of multiple faulty operations. I wonder how it could be implemented efficiently though

There is something like that already for floating point. Whenever an overflow or underflow happens, it sets a sticky bit in a separate flags register. You can clear these flags, do a sequence of operations, and at the end, see if any of these flags are set. See https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/fenv.3.html for the standard C API for it.

Yeah, and? That comes with consequences. If the creditworthiness of the US is not maintained internationally (i.e. by inflating the currency to evade insolvency) then it will lose its reserve status as significant global clout and domestic welfare. The risk of the US doing that is reflected in its credit rating which is reflected in the interest rate the US has to pay on its bonds. The interest rate is the compensation to bondholders for the risk of default.

Ditto the core team raising the supply cap.

Ditto the US initiating a nuclear missile strike on Iowa.

They could, but there's many reasons not to.
> but with the (possible) decrease in severe cases with Omicron I've seen hints of this argument again.

Well, at some point, it's a reasonable argument. Risk isn't going to go to 0. It looks like with vaccination my personal risk is 2-3x influenza, but I may be overstating it.

At some point, we're going to just have to give up and assume risks. I'm not routinely wearing masks 3 years from now.
It's not legal, but the amount of people that will just rollover and take it is incredibly high, and the absolute worst case scenario is that end up having to pay what they would have anyways so there's literally no downside for them pulling this bullshit.
I've been a subscriber and I am a half hearted fan of Which. IT wise their advice is complete arse: This is a consumer champion that only recommends either Apple or MS - there appears to be no other offerings. To be fair, I last read a Which review at least two years ago.

I'd describe Which as a good starter for 10, these days, but no more.

They do a decent legal angle and always have done, ie consumer rights - that's their forte for me.
I think the point isn't subtleties about scaling with more hardware, but about the fact that the percentages mean very different things depending on whether they're describing times or rates.

A 50% improvement in build time means becoming 2x as fast. A 50% improvement in build rate means becoming 1.5x as fast.

An 80% improvement in build time means becoming 5x as fast. An 80% improvement in build rate means becoming 1.8x as fast.
When I implement something IRL (unless I'm implementing something from a paper or an algorithm that's well known), I typically can't just ask someone what the algorithmic complexity is. I have to determine if for myself.

Ed: to clarify a bit, in some cases the "non-optimal" solution is going to be the best one. And that's even before you start worrying about things like time/memory tradeoffs. When a candidate asks me questions along the lines of "which of the 2 input lists is bigger, what order of magnitude is the length, does XYZ fit in memory, etc", IMO it's a useful signal that shows they're aware of these tradeoffs.
That's true, but I don't see that as necessarily decisive. If 1 doctor and 1 engineer can achieve the bandwidth of 10 (more?) doctors on some specific scan, we're still talking about less intellectual capital and less training requirements overall.

Also I don't think we're talking about special hardware here. Couldn't we just have a software package produced by someone (university, company in a wealthier country) that is used by docs everywhere? Could be done without the need of a dedicated local engineer? Perhaps the WHO could approve certain software packages for universal use in very specific cases.
> Maybe a few engineers are making that in SV, but the vast majority are under $200k for salary.

There is a poll on Blind running right now asking "What's your BASE salary?". 13442 people responded, as of right now, and the responses are:

< 100K : 11.1% (1493)
100-149K: 33.4% (4487)
150-199K: 34.9% (4699)
200-249K: 13.9% (1871)
250-299K: 4.0% (533)
300-399K: 1.5% (203)
>= 400K : 1.2% (159)

So ~80% of the people who responded to that poll seem to be making under $200K base salary.

The Kubernetes Discovery Cache: Blessing and Curse
Paperpile is a good alternative. I don't mind paying for them, though only hitch is that they are dependent on Google Drive alone to save your papers. Not technically open source, but they have come a long way with exciting features on the roadmap.
This is the thought process. I use something very similar and have done well in interviews.

I found I did better in interviews when I showed my thinking less, or adapted it to the interviewer. Stating the things I'm not doing is useful, but too risky. Just hearing the words "linked list" in a problem that can't be solved with linked lists (even in the sentence "linked list doesn't seem to be right") startles some interviewers. A high enough percentage I don't want to roll that die six times during a round.

The silliest example is I like to work on problems by writing code. Yes, even if I don't understand the problem perfectly. Seeing some code helps clarify my thinking and I throw most of it away.

Freaks. People. Out.

Writing down some wrong line of code may as well be blasphemy. Strangely, not the case with comments. So my technique in interviews was to write comments that were as equivalent as possible to code and then convert it to regular code when I felt things were close enough. The biggest challenge in Python is not making it so similar that it becomes obvious what you're doing.
It's difficult for me to take this paper seriously.

A lot of the advice is anecdotal based or cites bad science (The China Study).

If I had to guess, it's because the WebAssembly Text Format is S-Expressions, similar to the target language, Scheme. Also, less tooling involved to build the binary, since the text format is pretty close to the binary format.

In practice though, it looks closer to C/ASM. The author even wrote comments in C. This is the first time I've looked at an actual program written in the wasm text format and it's pretty interesting to see how one would actually use it. Very neat.

>They were trending up but there was a very sharp increase once the epidemic started.

Visualizing the trend, the cause is debatable: extrapolating from the trend that was in place as of March 2020 [0] leads to a similar place we're at now, and we can't know if that would otherwise have levelled off. There was a sharper uptick in April/May, but not a significant variation from the smoother curve that would have fit previous data.

>The genie is out of the bottle once people relapse.

You would still expect there to be a noticeable decline: Fewer people starting down the addiction pipeline to begin with, more people that are already addicts starting to get the help they need again. There should be a noticeable decline as people reconnect to support services, and we haven't seen that yet. Maybe it's just too early to tell, but social awareness of the opioid crisis was at an all-time high in 2019/early-2020, Rx access to them was already severely limited for the previous few years, and in mid-2019 a trend that had been pretty flat for ~2 years started to significantly increase. I'm sure COVID didn't help, but there was significant upwards pressure before that and disentangling the two is not a straightforward task.

This is true, but if your runtime is actually running stack-based interpretation of your java code (rathe than JIT) you have bigger performance problems.

static int square(int);
0: iload_0
1: iload_0
2: imul
3: ireturn

is java; compare to the c++ equivalent (used unsigned to avoid any possibility of undefined behavior):

unsigned char square(unsigned char num) {
return num * num;
}

Which compiles to:

mov eax, edi
imul eax, edi
ret

on x86

mul w0, w0, w0
ret

on arm.

By this definition, c and c++ don't have "real" byte types either, because they undergo integer promotion for operations, and the generated code is operating on register sized values, not bytes. Java bytes use 8 bits as part of an object (with a fixed-cost padding); 8 bits as part of an array, etc. The fact that the bytecode has intermediate casts is not relevant to the actual code executed on CPU.

I believe popularized by Adam Savage of Mythbusters, if I'm remembering where it hit internet-widespread from.

4. Search the repo directly for that text
