NO manufacturing line is easily transplantable or built from scratch. This is not limited to semiconductors.

My favorite story about this is a paint manufacturer building a brand new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to increase their capacity. Everything was controlled, monitored, etc. to the nth degree.

Only one problem--paint from the new line no longer stuck to anything.

Cue a crash debugging with all hands on deck. The problem? The new line was too clean.

Paint relies on the correct ends attaching to the wall and then the other ends forming a kind of network to protect those. But there is a tradeoff--the outer paint surface (exposed to elements) vs the inner paint surface (attaches to the wall) have different needs. If you make the inner paint surface too dense (molecules all vertical) the paints sticks great, but then doesn't protect against the elements. If you make the outer paint surface dense (molecules all horizontal) then the paint protects well, but then won't stick to the wall.

The solution: add some "dirt". Adding some very fine, very small inert particles can change the angle that the paint molecules connect and fix the adhesion issues.

The lesson: nobody knows all the things necessary to run a manufacturing line. Ever.

I asked myself this about 2 weeks ago and went looking. As far as I can tell they're quietly working still.
I wasn't talking in proportions, I meant absolutely. I mean, it's extremely improbable that the huge jump in hospitalizations could be explained by massively more vaxxed people, because there aren't actually enough physical people in the state to explain it otherwise.

Just be aware: you're arguing with a scientist who worked for decades on medical biology who has, until recently, generally been quiet when seeing huge amounts of misleading medical knowledge trotted about to justify one procedure or another. I am always open to data and my "feelings" don't matter- except that most of the time, when I dig into the underlying claims, I find that they are misrepresented (usually unintentionally). So I use my own priors, and frankly, all I can say is that finding stats on a government page or a news article and using those to justify policy isn't convincing to scientists (and, it appears, the vast majority of the american public).

Ultimately, our public health people lost the PR war, and they did so through muddled messaging. Literally everything about vaccines has turned out to be less effective that public health leadership predicted, or claims. I'm not really surprised; I've commented many times on HN about how deeply challenging it is to do public health with a noncompliant population.

I do feel like some AI advancements instill that fleeting sense of magic, while others work so well that we (consumers) reap the benefits without even realizing it.

Can you share some specific AI advancements or projects that you’re particularly excited about?

"Single-payer" means one insurance plan for everyone. France, as you know, has multiple plans for its people. So it's not single-payer.

But you are of course correct in France having private doctors and hospitals as well as public hospitals. Speaking as an American, city17 makes the common mistake of thinking that Canada and the UK, the two foreign countries we are most exposed to, are representative of the rest of the developed world. Since both countries have single-payer systems with zero/minimal cost on delivery (and more or less 100% public hospitals in the UK), many Americans think that that's the way all countries' healthcare systems work. They have no idea that a 30% copay is normal in France, or that Germany/Austria/Switzerland/Netherlands all have Obamacare-like mandates to obtain insurance from one of dozens/hundreds of competing plans, or that Australia has a government plan but *strongly* encourages people to get a private plan.
Take the large number of science articles that have become politicized. Next, please name a couple of them that don't support the left side of the argument.
A lot of the time they just don’t spend it and create dynasties. A lot of the wealth goes around and stays within the wealthy circle. Very little of it trickles down.

> My (and by proxy am guessing at the public's) understanding would be something like ~90% effectiveness at all but the most benign symptoms, and importantly minimal concerns of transmission.
For example MMR Vaccines meet this standard [1]

If you walk out on the street and ask people how effective the Flu vaccine is, I bet very few will tell you it’s around 90%. (It’s closer to 50%generally.) Most people are well aware that not all vaccines are hitting 90% protection bar. And again, to the extent that you’re right and I’m wrong, this is an argument in favor of the CDC making the definition clearer.

I would expect that vaccines are most effective on viruses that mutate less. Influenza and coronaviruses both mutate quite a bit. It’s actually kind of impressive that the original COVID vaccine is still providing so much protection for later variants.

> So I guess there is a middle ground between people expect the Covid vaccine to mean "you no longer can get it", and the reality of past vaccines "9x less likely to get it [at all vs hospitalization]" -- I just don't see the current covid vaccine providing the "get it at all" portion vs "hospitalization" target/success metric.

I think part of this is because it is a moving target. Omicron is quite new (less than 2 months old) and it takes a while to gather meaningful data.

Both Pfizer and Moderna demonstrated over 90% effectiveness on the original virus, in terms of reducing risk of infection at all. This dipped with subsequent variants like Delta and now Omicron. PBS says protection has dipped to 30-40% against infection and 70% against hospitalization, with a booster pushing it back up to 70-75 against infection, which is nothing to sneeze at considering that were several mutations away from the original at this point.

> and wouldn't really want to see Signal in bed with those sorts of folks

Why?

This has been ongoingly why we have bad encryption technology. No one wants to taint their ideological purity by trying to solve problems for organizations that can pay for them which would actually solve problems for private citizens, and simultaneously ensures that good technology doesn't secure important social interactions for private citizens.

Why should I not be able to verify I'm talking to my bank through Signal? Why can't I have messages from my local government secured to me via Signal?

They don’t pay high salaries to foreigners at all. In fact they lose local engineers to foreigners, especially the likes of Airbus, who poach them. Their only success stems from US and foreign unofficial embargoes and sanctions which has forced them to produce domestically. Turkey used to produce airplanes even in the 1940s which were then shut down by US allied governments.

It's not rationalization, I know some religions have a pretty rigid structure that you need to rationalize your way around when it comes to medical exceptions to religious rules but... Islam is not one of them. Maybe some folk belief might be a source of hesitation in this case but in islam the jurisprudence is very clear and no scholar would really argue otherwise. Just to give an example, even ISIS allowed alcohol to be used for medical reasons if prescribed by a doctor! I'm Muslim and have a pretty good grasp of the beliefs of the different islamic branches/sects/schools and I've rarely came across an example of restrictions not being waived for medical reasons, though it's very possible I've missed some examples.

What an edifying article. I love this idea of a fully didactic novel from a genre fiction perspective. Romance novels are strictly formulaic, and borrowing the structure of those to freight with didactism could make this didactic novel thing a huge genre for absorbing facts. One could use the romance novel frame and plug in foundations as plot points.

Agreed on all points. People are quick to jump on someone especially when they work really hard on something and then give it away for free. Companies turn around all of the time and change their revenue model and nobody says a thing. It's their right. The guy still had the rights to do whatever he likes with the software he wrote for free. All the assholes vilifying him are shilling for corporations that didn't want to pony up to help this guy continue his work. His actions were pretty drastic, but remember he owns the rights. If he wants to delete what he owns he's in his rights and corporations better take note. You use something for free that you don't own and have no intention of compensating the people behind it you only have yourself to blame when those people rage quit. There is no real argument against this without looking like a freeloading dick.

It has been done, as mentioned by other comments. My recollection is that aside from power & control, the hardest problem is clotting. The natural heart apparently causes the blood to flow in a way that there is no pooling or stagnation, whereas almost any fixed-shape chamber apparently has locations where the fluid will stagnate, and with blood, that will cause clots in a very short time. When those clots get loose, they can then go to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism, or to the brain and cause a stroke, both of which are very bad and often fatal. So, getting a mechanism that won't do that even once in years of continuous operation is ... nontrivial.

When I caught Alpha variant in February, I took advil/ibuprofen as well on the advice of my doctor. Didn't really have a headache more than a day though. I didn't know about aspirin's side-effect blood-thinning benefit pertaining to micro-clots.

But as stated elsewhere in the thread, I should have qualified my statement with "don't give aspirin to kids" due to Reyes syndrome. Totally spaced that detail.
I had pretty crazy side effects from biologics (ultimately I feel they made things worse). No one believes sick people though :P

I recall reading that starting their own MVNO was the backup plan under Jobs if they had not been able to convince any existing carriers to allow the iPhone.

At the time, the carriers specified much of how the software must work on any phone that they allowed onto their networks, both functionality and UI. Apple wanted the relationship with the carrier to be that Apple was in charge of everything except the low level code for dealing with the cellular network.

Cingular agreed, the iPhone was a huge success, the other carriers then agreed, and that's where we are today.

>It is a privilege to use someone's hobby project that you didn't write for free and with no strings attached.

It isn't a privilege, as far as FOSS is concerned, it's a fundamental right. Whether one pays or not is irrelevant, that code was given to the community and it belongs to the community. No one, not even the author or project maintainer, has the right to vandalize community property regardless of their motives.
By an "external data file", I mean that the package keeps a runtime database in a disk file or something, and will end up getting confused if two versions are reading and writing that file concurrently. The same would apply if the two versions had any way to end up sharing an in-memory data structure as well.

Have you tried any psychotherapies or responded positively to any? Getting exposed to situations that left me vulnerable emotionally ultimately led me to the insights and epiphanies I needed to overcome that vulnerability, kind of like EMDR therapy. E.g. social anxieties disappeared once I forcefully put myself out there and realized none of this matters, I can deal with rejection positively. In the most extreme case, I had a panic attack from an incident with THC that I am certain would have left me dead had I access to a firearm which uncovered thoughts and emotions that I was hiding from myself that I later was forced to confront and eventually heal - learning how apply a "it really do be like that" mentality productively, not too much or too little and only at the right times. Internal Family Systems was also necessary for me to understand what made up the ""real me"" and what was split-off misunderstood defenses from childhood stress, defenses of which actually caused stress and pain all said and done! While painful at first, it eventually blew over and I slowly learned how to more optimally integrate and control stress responses.

Just curious what people do once they're at a stage in life (eg kids) where taking a paycut isn't very doable? Do they simply bow out of the startup world? I wonder if people at that stage have the experience to execute startups very effectively, i wonder if there's a structural weakness in how startups are financed that with a bit more capital (and there should be plenty of that sloshing around with governments printing like crazy) they could execute far better. I dont have fully formed thoughts on this of course :)
> it's easy to lose a billion dollars.

Can you cite some examples? If it were easy, presumably a lot of people have done it.
I'm very sympathetic to your arguments in this thread, but it seems like in practice doing it right in your eyes would mean either 1 - not using dependencies at all, or 2 - only using dependencies when you have read and understood every single line of code in both the immediate dependency and every sub-dependency in its tree. Neither is realistic, unfortunately, for building anything non-trivial without a huge team of programmers.

Perhaps you have another solution in mind? I think something along the lines of package-level content security policies with granular permissions has a lot of potential.
Conservation of energy directly leads to the role of frequency in antenna reception and reciprocity:

Figure 3.5: A cavity in thermodynamic equilibrium at temperature T containing a resistor R is coupled to an antenna, also at temperature T, through a filter blocking electromagnetic radiation but passing currents having frequencies in the range ν to ν+dν.

Imagine an antenna inside a cavity in full thermodynamic equilibrium at temperature T connected through a transmission line to a matched resistor (whose resistance equals the radiation resistance of the antenna) in a second cavity at the same temperature (Figure 3.5). A filter between the cavities passes only currents in a narrow range of frequencies between ν and ν+dν. Because this entire system is in thermodynamic equilibrium, no net power can flow through the wires connecting the antenna and the resistor. Otherwise, one cavity would heat up and the other would cool down, in violation of the second law of thermodynamics.
This is quite silly. On oh so many levels. Your rant about Denmark being the lapdog of EU (and by extension Germany) is hilarious. You might not know it, but there has actually been a number of referendums in Denmark on our association with EU (1972, 1986, 1992, 1993, 2014, 2015).

I don't recall any referendums on the NSA cooperation.

...

On one point you're very right, though: I don't know the details of the deal made between the Danish defence intelligence agency and NSA. I sure would love to (the same goes for the Danish public), so please let me in on the details!

...

You seem unwilling to accept, that the actions performed by politicians is not always in the interest of the people they're supposed to serve. This is quite weird. An US analogy would be, that it is obvious that Pelosi or Trump are more concerned about their private fortunes than the interest of the American public.

And as I said: If the Danish politicians thought this cooperation to be in the best interest of the Danes, they could announce it publicly. "We let NSA tap our data, because they in return sometimes provides tips to us on homegrown terrorists and threats to Danish interests in the Middle-East". It is strange that it is not even possible for them to acknowledge the existence of an agreement. Why all this cloak and dagger when it is so obviously a great benefit for the country as you make it out to be?
This is true... if all indoor dining, bars and clubs are closed. If we're allowing people to eat indoors, by definition unmasked, then what's the point of wearing a N95 in a grocery store?

The US is doing a million new cases a day. Wearing a mask in some situations but not others is not going to make much of a difference. But it is a very visible thing to have partisan political fights about, which seems to be most of the appeal to many people.
A man recently died of a heart attack in my local ER’s waiting room 10 minutes after showing up complaining about heart pain. The only reason he died is they didn’t have enough staff on hand. This was a couple of months ago, in the US. A few nurses walked out crying and never came back when it happened. My sister used to work at the hospital as a nurse and she quit because of similar things that were a regular occurrence. It’s all about saving money. “Just In Time” healthcare.
> There are no outright false claims or lies on the vlang.io main page, in my opinion.

You've ignored my earlier point about pure functions that are allowed to have side effects.

> A very good argument can be made that V is closer to Zig and Nim, in terms of its present niche.

Zig maybe, Nim I doubt it. Nim is a managed langauge trying to appear as if it was not, like Swift.

Now for the rest I don't see the point of arguing, as you spend half of your energy trying to frame my comments as some kind of attacks on V. They are not. My comments are raising points that, to some people, are obvious red flags. If you don't see those as red flags and think the current situation is fine, no problems. I'll go my way, you'll go yours, and that's it. Energy is better spent on what the actual users want, not what external people think. Now, if you want to actively fight the reputation of vaporware that V has, it might be a good idea to listen to my feedback and feedback like that. Remove/replace the claim about "pure functions by default", remove the coreutils or mark them as x% complete or wip, like the C translation.

I'll stop replying here, as it's honestly exhausting to be constantly accused of something I'm not doing, especially when there is no way to prove you the opposite. Please keep the paranoia away next time.
Maybe we should first establish what's your idea of "winning"?

Because my idea of "winning" is one where there is no central entity controlling what should be basic infrastructure. My idea of winning is one where we have more options and that we can hedge one player against the other.

I don't (necessarily) want Matrix to grow to a point where it goes unchallenged. I want it to grow enough to the point where none of the other players has a clear upper hand.

I use Matrix already to talk with my immediate family, a good amount of my friends also managed to install it. Does this mean that I got to use Matrix exclusively? No, far from it. But I do have the option, and in the past when there were issues with WhatsApp and Signal, a lot of my friends were glad that all my nagging gave them an alternative.

"Bad UI", "complex onboarding", "technical issues"... those are all things that are easy to fix compared with the "issue" of having a oligarchy controlling all of the communication platforms of the Western Hemisphere and then China trying to encroach in.
