Hmm, I don't think this is true.

> Two doses is enough to drive down hospitalization risk to flu levels. Boosters aren't necessary from a public health perspective because boosting the already vaccinated has a miniscule effect on total hospitalizations.

If you look at the data, it appears that vaccinating the young and healthy has "a miniscule effect on total hospitalizations", too.
I think the discussion over crypto is, like many other discussions currently, broken. Two groups of people arguing their side, not realising they are both wrong (and both right).

Good for you on getting in early. Crypto, as a concept, is extremely neat. It is a libertarians dream. It is an interesting movement, in this time of centralisation and consolidation of power.

Crypto, as a tool however, is a solution looking for a problem. A problem that most people do not have. The only reason that crypto is currently huge, is because it (currently) is a Make Money Fast scheme. Should crypto ever become a mainstream way of performing transactions, it will still have to abide by the rule of law, or risk becoming illegal.

If Bitcoin could develop and improve, all the while without being a ponzi-scheme, it would be great. And who knows, if POS ever worked out and we manage to transition the whole ecosystem, it may find some usecases in smaller applications. But as it is, POW is generating the CO2 of a large country, providing money to the wrong people (and I'm not talking about you), and preparing financial crash.

If you're sitting on a pile of bitcoins since 2012, I understand your point of view. But I'm not convinced it's a net benefit to us all.
I am wondering how they dealt with that pattern during summer when the night is short.

the article mentioned that a contemporary reproduction of the pattern used blinders to cut off the natural light - something I guess most people did not have in the Middle-Ages. It also mentions that they were waking up at dawn (which is early in the summer).
My first thought was

but it made no sense.
Typescript is great because without it, you still need to determine a library’s types. It’s just that the type checking is only done in your head.

If you need to add types to a JS library that still doesn’t have them for some reason, you’re actually doing less work than if you didn’t add them.

Add the types as needed and you’re good.
I’ve done this. It was really hard. Also the best thing I’ve ever done.

I had to be very ruthless with my main job. Working strictly 9-5. This really annoyed my boss and I almost got fired, but I just powered through and held my ground.

I had to work every evening for about 3 hours. I developed the habit of working even when very tired. Turns out you can do calculus even when exhausted.

I had to be very disciplined in saying ‘no’ to nearly all social events. (But still saw my girlfriend/now wife).

This whole experience was great fun and I would recommend it if you like learning new stuff. Especially if you want to change career.
If not strange, it is a leading question, even in the case of Norway. Reminds me of some not so bright activists proclaiming that dried-out trees are better for the environment because they use less water.

To move away from analogy, my qualms are about time-scales, and the other side of the equation of electrification of transportation, ie. the waste (from production and from end-of-life battery) + El. energy generation. The EVs el. demands does (or in the near future will) fully outstrips in most european countries low-carbon supply. With these considerations it can easily be a much more degrading for the environment relative to CVs.

The entire EV movement has several characteristic of childish whimsical enthusiasm, where one aspect is highlighted in exuberant expectations but real world realities are (in cases of children excusable) ignored, or even willfully denied. This is said not to shoot down the clearly well meant idea of moving away from intense-co2 transportation. However, ideological revolutions which are centered at ignoring the realities of effective material production tend to produce waste (which is mostly due to inefficiency and waste production as they are subsided to do so pursuing other ideological goals ). Just wishing the journalism was more balanced with a perspective in mind, rather than just being "right-propaganda" fodder pushed on people.
> no async/await

Doesn't this mean we're basically back to callback hell? This was one of the primary criticisms of Node before async/await was introduced.
The science community played ball because government pays their checks. The problem they were trying to avoid is unemployment. You can't hold it against them for protecting their fundamental interests. They were acting so as to protect science only to the extent that people would no longer be able to receive funding for being honest with the public.
> societal-level integration

I really think this integration predominantly means systemic internalization of racism, with side effect of affirmative actions. When ethnicity is expressed with intent, a distinction is made, and distinction is synonymous to discrimination. Or classification, for that matter.
I'd say it's both ways: inventions perceived as positive at first were later used for nefarious things and the technology used to create military technologies found many civilian applications that turned out very beneficial to the society at large.

Over these years I also realized how little you can do to actually stop research, no matter what your opinions of it are. Even if something is officially forbidden, you can be sure someone else works on it if it's interesting enough, so in the end you're at a disadvantage. There are many examples of it nowadays.
Do you have a Golang project with 5000+ source files? If no, your project is not on the same level at all.
Your quote is better, but for people that have a hard time with that analogy, I like using the example of building a 4-story concrete/brick building - anyone can make a building stand strong by filling it with concrete / bricks. It takes precise engineering to know how thin you can make the walls/supports to make that building worth building.
It doesn’t matter what companies are there if it’s not written well.
I've found that cutting out sugar and eating more fat (especially EPA+DHA) has made my brain feel a lot sharper.

But then again on Android the OS already provides a Webview implementation for usage by apps, so while on Android Gecko might be more easily emebeddable than on Desktop, it's then hobbled by the fact that on Android the choice for app developers is either using the default Chrome/Blink-based Webview provided by the OS at absolutely no size-penalty, or else thinking about shipping a full browser engine with your app at a size penalty of dozens of MB, at which point you might then consider possibly using GeckoView instead of shipping your own specific version of Blink.

Yup, pretty much. I do think that "GC" usually these days refers to a mark and sweep GC (certainly in the context of a discussion about Go?) or at most a refcount kind of thing applied to all reference-like language entities, not "any lifetime management system," the way I see folks use that term.

But yeah I've found that the entity component data structure is a good lifetime management system very well suited to the game scenario, so there's no need for a different / more complex thing. And this is an exploration in how that + a simple / ergonomic language around it (along with growable arrays (slices)) pan out when making games in practice. There's no manual free calls or lifetime management anywhere in the code.

Re: "using GC but then needing to / being thoughtful to make sure it's going ok" -- that's the thing. It seems better to not have to need to think about it, by having a system that's better suited to the thing you are working on. You also don't need to "often go back and optimize some of this stuff later too" because it just already has good performance with the straightforward code, and you don't need to add complexity. "splitting references out / pure data" -- that is indeed what the language nudges you to do by only having pure data. Essentially: yes, you can achieve the desired thing with intentionality and extra cognition in a different system (the same was true with other kinds of cognitive overhead in C++) and this is an exploration in developing a language + tools that focus on and bias toward the desired thing by default. Like I'm imagining folks getting started with gamedev using this + the integrated tooling and internalizing the practices you're talking about (that's a stretch vision, the current scope is to just build and test it in the context of one specific game project).

I'll be releasing this engine + an example game with it soon, but here's what the code for this main game project (the one in the video) looks like (all the components, the top-level game loop, and then some example game logic): https://gist.github.com/nikki93/0425d9ead9eb7810075434d006f3... It's just data structures, and then functions that do gameplay stuff on them. No lifetime management.
> Feels like everyone is very disinterested in the cost to the user with most "modern ways" of doing things.

The only time a decision maker actually cares about the cost to the user is when they are trying to calculate how much money (or savings) they could capture from the user.
Callback hell was before the introduction of Promises. Promises tried to abstract away the callback mechanism and it made things a little clearer, but you still had the pyramid effect of successive Promises.

Await/Async kind of streamlined all this.
Yet so many papers I read are just another Gaussian wearing another pants.
This is still different - the article you post is a state acting in a way that is, by the quote you posted, illegal in the country it was performed. The actions in China are sanctioned and performed by the government, and are thereby legal.

In fact, the article you post is literally about the state offering monetary recompense for the act - hence, doing the very thing you asked for in your first post.

America is not as bad as China. These false equivalences are supporting genocide.
Roughly speaking how much money did you invest into making this? Just curious if this is something an indie hacker can hope to do one day OR do you need some deep pockets to make a site like this?
I didn't mean to imply it was a settled question. I had in my mind the notion that all this is rather unproven at the moment.
I quite strongly suspect that there is a small but significant amount of whatever "intelligence" might be within GPT3 et al.

But I completely agree, it is just a suspicion.
That may not always be productive, because Go’s GC has a pacer which ensures there’s at least one collection every… 2mn I think？And since Go’s GC is non-generational, every collection has to traverse the entire heap.

Discord had an issue with that for an LRU cache service, where their memory usage was basically constant (very little garbage generated), but because the heap was quite large the pacer would trigger a huge CPU spike every 2mn as it would need to traverse the entire thing, looking for something to release (which would not exist).
How is the actual program found, just randomly trying different program tables?

Climate change is mostly that barometer for me.

So when I see this article cites Viscount Ridley, the climate change denier, I pretty much put it in the same category of bullshit as all of that stuff

This is assuming I've not spotted its in the Telegraph first, which is enough to know its almost certainly lies and misrepresention.
Conditions may apply. If you're homeless or living in a country with ongoing war, disease or hunger the likelihood that you have to worry about any of these things goes up dramatically.
Even before the masks, they were presenting "case fatility rates" as "infection fatility rates" (by just calling them "death rate", which everyone understands as risk of death when infected), when there was hardly any test. Of course if you only test people who show up at the ICU, you will get a very high death rate. That was obvious from the outset and I think deliberate disinformation as a scare tactic.

It is not before June that they started admitting that the IFR was way below 1%, when the first serology studies started showing up (though I came to believe that this number is meaningless, you need to look at IFR by age).

Sam Harris invited Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease MD from John Hopkins in early April 2020, and his estimate at that time was around 0.5%. So it's not like the information wasn't there.
>What I mean is, the lost productivity of waiting around for slack to load a channel is essentially outsourcing this cost difference via poor performance.

What makes you think that Slack's loading times is due to Electron, not shitty backend?

This is genuine question
I like to make many small queries and then merge results in code in any database. No one can really understand large complex queries but anyone can understand small selects and a couple of for loops that merge the results.
Trust the science, yeah, but don't necessarily trust scientists. They're people, same as anyone else.
Appreciate the suggestions, and these are all things I aim for in my code, however this is a legacy project that has not generally taken these things in to account, and sorting them out has not previously been a priority.

Luckily there is buyin not just from developers but also senior management to fix things, but it’s also in an extremely risk averse industry so changes need to be slow and careful.

Correct, the ultimate goal is to perform automatic activity logging.

For example my bathroom has two IR sensors (https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08LBDYPYD), one inside the shower, one outside of it. This lets me log the time and duration of when I take a shower or how often I shave.

It also has an I2S MEMS microphone which collects the data for the FFT where the goal is to replace the IR in the shower with it since the water sound is enough information.

Also temperature and humidity, where the latter also gives a good indication of when I showered and when I forgot to close the window some time after showering.

My bedroom also has the same "setup", where the FFT shows me how big of a problem I have with snoring. Eventually I can add some logic on the server to slightly wake me up if I snore, but currently I'm just logging. The PIR serves as a measurement of how much I'm moving at night without requiring a camera for this. Though I have another ESP32 under my bed fixated at the slatted frame which contains an 9dof-IMU and logs any significant movement which may be related to quality of sleep. Also the magnetic field which is why I have a strong magnet attached to my bed tablet, so I know when it changed position. Even though the tablet knows that itself because it is logging its own accelerometer every minute.

I live alone, so all of this is no problem.

At this point I'm mostly only logging, and only using the shower and bed data to see when I used them, which I can then see in Grafana. I think the data will only gain value when watched over a long time frame.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Learned a thing or two too! :)
> But a leading scientist told Sir Jeremy that “further debate would do unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular”. Dr Collins, the former director of the US National Institutes of Health, warned it could damage “international harmony”.

COVID-19: the time where Scientists pretended to be politicians and politicians pretended to be Scientists.

Also if their intention was to not hurt China, we now see one of the largest decentralisation efforts away from Chinese manufacturing we have seen in quite some time. Any future outsourced research to China will be under extreme scrutiny.

> Later emails showed that by February 4, Sir Jeremy had revised his estimate of a laboratory leak to 50:50, while Professor Eddie Holmes, of the University of Sydney, gave a 60:40 estimate in favour of an accidental release.

When you consider how the CCP and all staff involved have behaved, the odds appear higher. You have a major opportunity to show openness and lack of wrongdoing - and yet choose to act closed and actively prevent investigations.

> An email from Dr Ron Fouchier to Sir Jeremy said: “Further debate about such accusations would unnecessarily distract top researchers from their active duties and do unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular.”

Unnecessary harm? If it was as a result of a lab leak, it would be completely necessary harm. For all we know, COVID-X is just around the corner. Bare in mind many labs around the world have been processing COVID samples and performing experiments on it in order to figure out how it may mutate.
I'm not questioning the fact that I'm kind of gifted when it comes to mathematics (I actually ranked #72 in a nation-wide math contest in France when I was 10) but you were talking about “maturity” and not innate skill. Since don't have a math degree and I haven't done math in more than a decade, I'm definitely far from “mature” on any mathematics perspective that can matter for a job.

And after ten years working in the industry, I can assure you that it is not a skill I can leverage a lot in my job…
No, they couldn’t. And I guarantee you they spent nowhere near that sum to train the model, and that it wouldn’t take two years to clone it.
That and because British people are used to thinking in both systems and implicitly converting between them, they may not even notice the inconsistency. Whereas for Americans who are used to the 12 hour system, the discrepancy sticks out much more strongly.
Sure but statistics show some things, like drunk driving is bad so is AI the ONLY solution to drunk driving? Speeding is also aproblem is AI the ONLy solution to speeding? Texting or losing focus is a problem is Ai driving the ONLY solution?

No, there is more then 1 solution , tech can be used to help with preventing drunk driving, speeding and losing focus. Tech could be used for drive assist to help on tricky situation. Reducing the mass of cars could also help,

IMO the idea that AI driving is the only solution and we shouyld

1 do nothing else and wait for AI

2 rush the AI deployment be

is really bad because

1 we should implement other solutions too

2 we should not rush AI deployment , Tesla fanboys will hate it when some non-Tesla would beta test on their roads and keep the stats secret.

Yes. Countries and people are two different thing and the expected and acceptable behaviours are different too.

If you write the same letter to a city official about a public bikeshed you are sending a freedom of information request and they are expected to respond promptly and accurately.
It's funny that Electron and web devs are blamed for "increasingly more abstraction". The thing is: You can't really build cross-platform native apps.

Maybe stop blaming people who use tools that enable this and start blaming Apple, Microsoft and the Linux community for being incapable of providing one native UI kit with one native language that truly enables cross-platform development.
> In fact, I believe human+FSD is already safer on average, just due to the fact that FSD requires the driver to watch the road.

Uhm, that's basically what I said? Aside from the "other advantages" -- which, yeah, sure. Socket sets have other advantages than hammers, but they're not very good at pounding in nails. You can do it, but it'll suck at it.

Also, in this case, "probably less" is "multiple orders of magnitude slower".
Probably for it to work you would have to limit them and have a set of hand selected images. Seemingly people will buy anything if you can hype it enough.
Todo List for Mac
I love Svelte. It's my first-choice web library these days. I will even use their online REPL to test out things like CSS techniques as a replacement for JSFiddle and the rest. Plus, I love the efficient code I get from their compiler, and how friendly Svelte is to web animations & graphics.

SvelteKit itself is quite neat. Getting SSR essentially for free, and having only a small learning curve for routing and the vendored bundler is just awesome. When I use it for dev, I typically turn on HMR and SSR, and I am extremely productive.
Doesn't it make sense to establish a lab near a source of what you're studying? You don't establish a tropical botany lab in Antarctica.
