The claim seems to be that it's because we're "able to sequence the genome of a new pathogen within days [...] or design a new vaccine within two weeks and have it in human clinical trials a month later". The latter certainly wasn't needed for SARS1, but the former...? At the time I was a high school student in Toronto, which was hit relatively hard by SARS1, and I remember there was lots of fear and anxiety around it, but it didn't affect my daily life in any way. Did we do lots of PCR testing and quarantining to keep it from spreading? Not sure. That wouldn't have been possible a few decades ago, anyway.
It is nonsensical but not because of the way the viruses evolved - if SARS1 or MERS had been capable of causing a genuine pandemic with their fatality rate then the response would have been different, so it wouldn't have been a mass extinction event! With SARS1 we actually managed to make a vaccine - we just didn't end up needing it.

It's interesting how the two types in the simulation are said to be "happier to live in a diverse environment" but their only preference that leads to actual behavior is "when I'm in a 1/3 minority or less I'm unhappy and have to move".

Further down, when the shapes show their preference for neighborhood diversity in actual behavior, you get diverse results.

Through your writings, you helped create a new age religion of people who worship non-linear technological progress. (Though the transhumanism movement seems to be less active as of late)

Related, your books, and others in the genre, helped bring about my own acceptance of people's differences. I realized that if I had no objection to a future where people modified their own DNA, then it followed that I should have no objection to people dying their hair, getting crazy tattoos, or making any alterations to their body that they so choose. Transhumanist literature was the final stepping stone that let me step back from the preconceived notions of ethics and morals that society had placed upon me and do a thorough analyze and decide what I wanted to keep versus discard.

Why is the list of single-use plastics shown always bags and straws? These items use minuscule amounts of plastic, are potentially more environmentally friendly than the alternatives, and have potential second uses (I re-use plastic bags as waste-basket liners, toiletry bag, etc, etc).

On the other hand, I never see COSMETICS packaging mentioned (although at least this article mentions microbeads). Toothpaste tubes, shampoo and showergel bottles, lipstick caddies, face-cream pots, etc, etc. These must be a far larger source of waste plastic.

He very clearly said that people should not be wearing masks, and the reason was very clearly implied to be that they wouldn't be effective; in fact, in that 60 mins interview, he outright said that wearing a mask could be worse than not wearing one.

That has always been obvious horseshit to anyone who knows anything about biology. His later statement was that the "real reason" they advised people not to wear masks was not actually the stated reason, but a completely different reason. That's literally a deception, and it from Fauci's own words, it appears to have been an intentional deception.

Now you might be ok with public health officials deceiving the public about public health, but I am not. I think it's doubly important that such an official be above reproach in the midst of a pandemic.

By default, power gain is what an RF engineer refers to when s/he talks about "gain."

Really they never use that term with antennas without amplifiers? Seems like its all over the literature, again back to previous material:

3.1.3 The Power Gain of a Transmitting Antenna

The power gain G(θ,ϕ) of a transmitting antenna is defined as the power transmitted per unit solid angle in direction (θ,ϕ) relative to an isotropic antenna, which has the same gain in all directions. Frequently, the value of G is expressed logarithmically in units of decibels (dB):

(3.31)
For any lossless antenna, energy conservation requires that the gain averaged over all directions be
⟨G⟩=1

(3.32)
Consequently, all lossless antennas obey

∫sphereGdΩ=4π.

(3.33)
Different lossless antennas may radiate with different directional patterns, but they do not alter the total amount of power radiated. Consequently, the gain of a lossless antenna depends only on the angular distribution of radiation from that antenna. In general, an antenna having peak gain G0 must beam most of its power into a solid angle ΔΩ
such that ΔΩ≈4π/G0
This motivates the definition of the beam solid angle ΩA

ΩA≡4πG0.

(3.34)
Thus the higher the gain, the smaller the beam solid angle.

Directional antenna direct more power to the receiver they do not add more power through amplification. You could also say they waste less power toward no receiver. Reciprocally it works for the receiving antenna as well and is again referred to as gain everywhere I have seen.

Absolutely it is. But there really is a difference the past decade (I'd say two) made.

Click their first citation. It’s a study that shows that people who discontinue their antidepressants are more likely to relapse than people who continue taking them.

It also says that relapse is more likely if the person was depressed for longer before receiving treatment (e.g. excessively delaying treatment made relapse more likely)

It doesn’t support their wild anti-psychiatry rant at all. Don’t be fooled by off the wall comments that try to overload you with a list of citations that they know most people won’t read.
It's impressive how quickly the NFT space has abandoned any semblance of selling unique artwork, and converged on ten thousand variants of "randomly generated animal pictures" with half of them being monkeys because they're cargo-culting Bored Ape Yacht Club. Ironically in trying to create "digital scarcity" they've lowered the bar to entry so far that their "scarce" assets are buried under an endless avalanche of nearly indistinguishable "scarce" assets. Market price is the only thing that would set them apart, but even that's meaningless due to the prevalence of wash trading.

>0.3% is the case only after torturing statistics

Ironic, since a 0.3% (or 0.6%) fatality rate is vastly exaggerated for people in low risk groups. The only reason the number is even that high is due to the high death tolls of people in high risk groups.
Wow. This is amazing. Worth preserving for the ages, seriously.

A crypto-island scheme has been a thing since the very early days of bitcoin. None of them ever get anywhere, of course.

Are they happy or are their parents happy at their “success”. Go watch some Frasier, it’s good for some perspective on success and happiness across career, family, personal baggage.
My experience was the opposite. In fact, after taking medication to fix it I later stopped because of this naturalistic fallacy. I knew it was bunting some of my emotions and I figured whatever the drugs are doing I can do with lifestyle changes. 10 years later, a daily habit of exercise and cold showers, a variety of daily natural supplements like turmeric and magnesium, and a career later.. I was no different.

I'd wonder why everything felt so hard for me, why I was so stressed out all the time. And how it could be that no one else seemed to be horrified by the existential realities of life. At the same time I wanted to participate in life so I could help change things for the better-- but damn every morning was a new battle. And then I decided to start the same medication again, and boom.

About a year later and I feel normal. It's amazing. I'm like.. is this how people feel all the time? You guys just wake up and don't dread the day? Lol it's almost funny now. They blunt my emotions.. but turns out i was hyper sensitive to everything. In an awful , stressful way. I still have white hair from that period of life.

Sometimes, medication is the answer. I had a perfectly fine life on paper yet couldn't be happy. My theory is this was because of some adverse childhood events I experienced, that seemed to change something in me. Thank God for modern medicine.

And I learned sometimes the best advice is don't listen to others-- only you know what's best for you. People are complicated and therapy doesn't always work.

The comment above states: "...Julia that have arbitrary array indexing as a core feature...". Is an external package written in Julia considered a "core" feature of the Julia language?

Packages are literally remote code exec vulns in the hands of package authors. At the very least, it takes them under a minute to break your app, simply by deleting their package. Read the article. This is not the first time it's happened, and it's not going to be the last. [0]

I write backends (mostly in PHP, although not exclusively), and I release a lot of my code under libre licenses. But I don't do packages. I don't want that level of control over other people's projects, it's scary as fuck. I have enough responsibilities as is.

I have a mailing list for people who use my code, when an update is out they can download the .php files, 'require' them and test them before deployment, but never will I do packages.

IMO, re-inventing the wheel sometimes is not the worst thing. Including code written by strangers that you haven't inspected and that they can remotely modify is. Stop using packages that are essentially wrappers around three-line Stack Overflow answers.

In this case, the old-fashioned way is the better way, and you'll have a hard time convincing me otherwise.

It shouldn't be completely dismissed, but I think the forum is more about how an unhappy (or angry) minority have found each other, and the people that like to read their stories.

It's the same with twitter, there is a committed vocal and angry group, but it's not real life
The alternatives popping up are largely even worse than traditional media. Full on Fantasy as news. Whatever makes people feel enraged/smug. I’m not sure why everyone is cheering the death of all these institutions when there are no society stabilizing alternatives anywhere
In this case, the developer's behavior was malicious: they intentionally caused damage. This is very different than some good faith change that breaks stuff downstream. Sure, the license says "no warranty". But github can decide that they won't tolerate vandals on their platform. It would be within their right to revert the bad change from the git database they hold, go back to the last good change and lock the developer out.
