> You should read my reply - from that article, the infected scientist was at the time not wearing his PPE. The infection was due to his incompetence, and wouldn't have happened if he was actually following BSL4 regulations. It seems his colleagues saw this and thought it was fine.

that's.. worse though, right? that's an incident in a BSL-4 where an incautious scientist disregarded regulations, without his colleagues calling him on it, and leading to the release of SARS. that's the reality - regulations are always broken, colleagues are always complacent. why would WIV or any other BSL-4 be any better?
Eigen is the worst for this. :(

In congested areas cars are not particularly time efficient. For most journeys up to ten kilometers or so I'm almost as fast on my bike than I would be in a car, sometimes I'm even a bit faster. And that's despite traffic lights not really being optimized for bike traffic.
You can't have it both ways, if stopping candy leads to cigarette money then cigarettes are healthy because anyone who smokes has less money for heroin.

>Does anyone have good data on comparing deaths per mile driven between various auto brands?

Hopefully this evaluation will force Tesla to share the data as the other companies, hopefully the army of fanboys have nothing against transparency.
Nintendo has never been good with the online stuff so this doesn't surprise me in the least.
A few hundred people have died on a 5km stretch of road near me in the last couple of years. None of them driving Teslas. Most of them drunk or driving far too fast (50km/h is safe, people often drive 150km/h because shortcut and the stretch literally drives like a race course).
Interestingly, both the new browser Orion and the one DuckDuckGo is developing are WebKit-based, not chromium-based.
Ctrl-C Ctrl-V is a career killer for human artists. Why it's not for ML?

e: the argument for human artists is human inspirations are generalized and artists’ own interpretations are always added to it, and for ML it’s that their network weights are highly generalized and likewise not a copy; but IMO a more solid line has to be drawn and distinction has to be made between C-c C-v and generalization at some point forward.
I don't think a union is a vehicle against unloved management, it would just be piling discontent on people that were singled out. If you believe you can make the case your manager works against business interest you should talk to him about that first. If that doesn't net results, you can talk to his supervisor with a reference to the meeting you have had and what you were talking about.

I agree on the noisy work spaces. That could be a union issue indeed. Maybe the problem of living costs too, but this has probably numerous reasons and it would be difficult to get everyone behind a common position.

Everyone has biases and it is okay to have some for that matter.
What makes you think human creativity is anything more than statistical modelling? What else can it be, based as it is in a physical substrate? Objections like yours are usually a sneaky way of implying that human consciousness breaks free of the physical world, cartesian dualism hidden within people's arguments.

"It cannot be creative because it's only bits/cogs/linear algebra/etc/etc." Well describe to me the way it is different to the processes of the human brain?
"There is some magic sauce in the human brain we do not yet understand!", well then how do you know that this magic sauce does not exist within the statistical models inside the computer?

I find it very irritating that such shallow reasoning prevails amongst intelligent people.
Directly taken from the article:

>But the researchers didn’t stop there. They also wanted to know if shoppers might be getting sugar from other foods instead—a possibility that soda tax opponents have argued would become commonplace. Were Seattle residents simply swapping out Mountain Dew for candy bars? To find out, the researchers also analyzed sales data for untaxed drinks like flavored milk, sweets—which the team defined to include candies, desserts, and baked goods—as well as loose sugar. Over the course of months, Powell’s team painstakingly coded each product sold by its sugar content, and then calculated just how much sales of these products changed after the soda tax went in place.

>They found a slight increase in sugar consumed through untaxed drinks in 2018, which then dissipated in 2019. They also noticed a small, sustained increase in sugar consumed through sweets. In both cases however, those upticks were not large enough to overcome the significant reduction in sugar sold through taxed drink

So they did exactly what you asked for and found that while there was a small increase in sugar intake through other means, it was much less than the decrease from reduced sugar intake from soda.
24 seconds is awful ? I have a 500kloc codebase which uses boost, Qt, and templates & modern features used very liberally and incremental compilation is ~1 second
I like it. Two small bugs.

First, it is slow. Slower than the Tesseract app on my old Android phone.

Secondly, the txt it produces is misformed. With â€™ appearing instead of an apostrophe.

I'd recommend displaying text text on the website rather than a downloadable txt file.

Bit, overall, pretty good!
You know this effect, when you've been reading the news for years, and finally your favorite source has a story about something you studied or worked on, and you realize how low quality or outright wrong it is? The spell is broken and you realize how little they know about anything they write.

Once government officials and scientists gaslight us about what they think they should, how does one know they wouldn't for anything at all they decide to?

These people have done a huge disservice to society - and the harm in increase of conspiracy theorists is likely helped by their contribution in hiding this information.
> Every time someone vocally claims that a well-targeted tax won't reduce the effect of something harmful, one can be pretty sure it will - those people would not be complaining unless it directly hit their wallets.

The saying goes that the price is right when the customer curses but still signs the contract. So I wouldn't be too sure about that.

Besides the effect is statistical. The reason people buy less sugary sodas might equally be attested to grocers and wholesalers simply filling their stores with more diet sodas, instead of sugary sodas, due to the tax—and not because consumers actually avoid sugary sodas due to the very slight price increase. So there still isn't a clear cause and effect.

This is important, because if it's the former, and the state claims it's the latter, then either they're clearly wrong about the cause and effect, or they're lying; either of which would be bad for public relations. On the other hand, the end result is pretty much the same, but if the effect is due to availability, then perhaps the whole thing could have been solved with regulation instead of taxation.

On the side comes the matter of what the taxed money is used for. Does it go towards better public health care in the region, or is it simply spent on covering various deficits. This is also important, because if the goal is to fight obesity, then how is it morally right to spend the tax profits on other things?
But hold up - capturing a stack variable by reference in a lambda isn't defined behavior - it will be garbage later when you try to read from it.
What methods are there to estimate how many unique characters a model can generate? The answer is not infinitely many, but determining when two images are of different 'characters' is fuzzy.
Sure it’s not a direct per-transaction carbon footprint - but every transaction has mining fees, and more transactions mean there’s more money in mining which means more miners which means more carbon burnt.
1) It was mostly manual, though AIs were useful in certain filtering tasks.

2) Depends on the quality you are seeking. If you only want one run of a similar, off-the-shelf model, around the 1000s is enough. But at the number of iterations you have to run to build your own and improve results, you probably need about 100k.

To tackle this problem, we built our own supercomputer off of parts we bought off of ebay, though I can't say I recommend that route, because it now lives in our living room.
That's probably true, but constant suspicious behavior shouldn't normalize behaving suspiciously.
“Haha! People wouldn’t bear any meaningful cost to avoid a piddling 1.75 cents/oz tax, that can be dismissed as laughable.”

“I am uncritically accepting a study that says a 1.75 cents/oz tax was successful in changing consumer behavior because the additional burden it added to the cost of soda.”

You can’t have it both ways, claim the tax influenced behavior in terms of reducing consumption but not in terms of circumventing the tax.
It's far more likely that a consume who is price sensitive to this tax would perform a substitution rather than physically go seek it outside of the city. I'm not saying if they are already out of the city for some reason they wouldn't maybe pick up soda, but I highly doubt any significant number of people are actually leaving the city to go purchase soda. Not only are you not saving money unless you purchase a significant amount, you're also wasting time.
A quick google shows that plain carbonated water has a pH of 4, which is right around where it becomes corrosive to enamel. So, if you just drink a bit of water afterwards, you should be bringing your mouth's pH well above 4. Maybe swish it around as well.
Thing is, that's what authoritarian organizations seem to do reflexively, whether it's smart or not. Maybe because they have trouble getting reliable information themselves - is a coverup needed, or does it look like no coverup is needed because your subordinates have already covered up to cover their own behinds?
The story is more about how this was covered up which destroys any faith you had in our scientific leaders who are clearly making decisions base on their political goals, and not on the truth. It is the same way Dr. Fauci admitted to lying to the public about masks not working so that he could achieve his goal of having masks being saved for healthcare professionals. When your leaders are known to be lying to you, especially on something much bigger than even 9/11 or pearl harbor, this sparks the kind of outrage that should get those in charge fired. They by their own e-mails and admissions are lying about the science of the biggest event in our lifetime in order to achieve completely separate goals from science. Even if their goals are the most noble in their own eyes to serve as preventing international issues, it is still a disservice to every single scientist that is practicing with the goal of finding the truth. They are trying to act like the parents and that everyone else is the child. It's like those movies when they hide things from the public so as 'not to cause a panic,' but even worse as their hiding of the truth has resulted in censorship of actual science being researched, not to mention censorship on social media platforms.
> What is the art of building things that are good, but violate some constraints of the real world?

Magic.
Even France is having serious issues both currently and in the future. There is considerable national pride involved, so the picture being painted is often more rosy than it is. Nuclear power in France and elsewhere had a leg up in terms of brain share and political will due to the importance of nuclear weapons, it was patriotic to be for nuclear things but that factor has vanished since the end of the cold war. This is also a factor France has a leg up on Germany who was not allowed to have nuclear weapons due to WWII. Without nuclear weapons programs, nuclear power would probably not have had the same importance.

Even when trying to come to a conclusion if nuclear power is worthwhile, one has to realize how much more complex even the equation is. It takes so much more qualified engineers, a much more specialized and expensive supply chain, and then there are huge uncertainty factors with unintentional accidents and malicious interference. Waste storage is a recurring headache and not globally solved. All of this MIGHT be manageable for a first-world democratic country like France, but I really don't like to see China scaling up their nuclear industry, nor would I want to see much of the rest of the world to replace their fossil fuels by those headaches.
I was expecting the article to eventually explain how to make a gradient between two colors, without passing neither anything looking like "third hue" nor gray.

This is perhaps not possible in theory, but just adjusting the gradient curve so that the effect is minimized should be possible.
hmmm maybe write a B-1 operator for k8s, so that k8s can deploy B-1s as required :)
Because 55.88% of voters (1,721,487 people) voted for it.

Note that the initiative banned "local government entities from imposing any new tax, fee, or other assessment on grocery items" in general, not just from sugary drinks.

I guess people did not want more expensive groceries. This may in the future be compensated by more expensive healthcare, but such is the human species. Short term gain > long term loss.

Australia was an early mass adopter of suburban rooftop solar and a similar issue played out here.

It turns out that the cost of building and maintaining the grid is the majority of the cost of electricity to the home. As the cost of actual kWh trends to zero, the cost of the grid becomes the dominant cost.

If households with solar want to use the grid effectively as a battery, that has a defined and quite high cost, and has to be paid no matter how you structure it (monthly fee, tax, etc)
It's actually a serious path of investigation that took place last year. And documents actually show some US institution financing at least one lab in China. The motive wasn't to obfuscate blame but more likely to practice the research on a territory having less stringent regulation on this field.
I really disagree, on some of my use cases I measured the difference between -O3 (sse2) and -O3 -march=native (avx2) to be 30-to-50-ish percent faster
If you don’t know the notation, you almost surely don’t know the concepts themselves, and so the barrier to your understanding is lack of your background knowledge, not just notation issues. Math is just genuinely complex and hard, and people who have experience with basic mathematics in school or university simply should not expect the advanced stuff to be within easy grasp, as they sometimes do.

Consider this classic, very well written paper:
https://math.berkeley.edu/~nadler/atiyah.classification.pdf

The “Generalities” section has only one page and hardly any equations, author simply defines notation he uses. And yet, it requires something like 2+ years of prior education in advanced mathematics (either in strong undergrad program, or in a graduate program) to really grasp it. Author even defines his notation: “E [is] the sheaf of germs of regular sections of E, and \Gamma(E) [is] the vector space of global regular sections of E, thus \Gamma(E) = H^0(X, E).”. Sure, he doesn’t define what H^0(X,E) is, but if I told you that it’s the degree zero sheaf cohomology group of E, would that make any difference to you?
But they don't do it to avoid sales tax on $100 purchase. They go down there to make $1k+ purchases and avoid $100+ in taxes. The cost to get in and out of Seattle to purchase soda just isn't worth it unless you are purchasing a large amount of soda.
The American Humane Association is upset about a scene in the acclaimed documentary Roger & Me in which a rabbit is clubbed to death, gutted and skinned.

"I had a very hard time with that when we edited it," Moore admitted. "We put it in, we took it out . . . then we just had to say, 'Look, this is how it is.' . . . One more thing," Moore added.

"Two minutes later in the film, a black man was shot. I had no calls, I never see anyone get out of the theater and leave. It's an image we've learned to accept because we see it on TV.

"I received a lot more sympathy and compassion for that little bunny than that black man. I guess you could say that the bunny didn't have a gun. Anyway, that was my thought process as we were editing it."
Mozilla’s priorities are questionable, I’m not sure anyone outside the company knows.

I’ve long resisted using a Chromium browser but Firefox has languished for far too long. I’ve been using Arc for maybe half a year now and I don’t plan on going back.

Without a team working on Servo, Mozilla is lost IMO.
Maybe. I've never seriously considered grpc-web since it requires a special proxy (Envoy) to work. Seems like too many layers of complexity at that point.
Not quite, expansion doesn't happen on such small scales.

Expansion is a property of the Friedman-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker metric, which is a solution to the Einstein equations if you assume everything is isotropic and homogeneous. Spacetime around a star or a galaxy is obviously not homogeneous. It looks much more like a Schwarzschild metric, which features no expansion.

It may help to think of the universe as a cake with raisins in it. When you bake the cake, the dough expands uniformly, but the raisins do not.

Small caveat: If dark energy has a certain property, it changes things and a "big rip" will occur, tearing apart everything but elementary particles.
UI looks really clean, I like it. How long did it take you to make this?
Sure, why do we even need DMV and driver's license. Anyone and of any age should be allowed to drive, since who cares it's dangerous since hackers want it that way. Who is DMV to tell someone whether they can or cannot drive.

While we're at it, let's argue that FDA shouldn't worry about drug/vaccine trials? Perhaps as soon as a company makes something, it should be given to the people, since hackers.
I'm sure pharma companies will love that, human lives be damned.
Do you have actual arguments? The reasons for me giving these points above is that this way of arguing has become standard PR practice from industries that want to prevent outcomes that would be detrimental to their bottom line (tobacco sugar, oil...). They actually are not interested in a debate that finds the actual truth. In fact they often know that the facts are correct from their own studies, but want to cast doubt on them nevertheless.

I'm perfectly ok with someone giving actual arguments (ideally backed up by some scientific evidence) why that study might get the correct result. I didn't even make any judgement about the validity of the original conclusions.
Generally relational models are _not_ semantic models.
> If the end goal is standards compliance, the outcome should be the same.

The problem is Google is using Chromium dominant market share to push some questionable "features" into standards.

> The fact that Google did such a good job on early chrome compared to everyone else is really why it’s so popular.

Chrome is good, but Google being the largest advertising machine in the world also helps.
That's still not accounting for all the trouble you might run into when scaling up nuclear power. It would also not be enough to do this in highly stable western-style democracies. It's not accounting for all the cost that goes into developing the nuclear industry and dealing with all the consequences. All those cost calculations are either very optimistic or fraught with uncertainties.
That study was in patients that were already type-2 diabetic. Here's one that compares stevia, aspartame, and sucrose by satiety and (what I assume is) measures of glucose and insulin in blood: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2900484/

Only immediately obvious caveat is that the sample size may be a bit small:

> 19 healthy lean (BMI = 20.0 – 24.9) and 12 obese (BMI = 30.0 – 39.9) individuals 18 to 50 years old
> Karens

Off topic, but why is this term even remotely acceptable? If this was used to refer to an ethnic minority then everyone would be screaming "racist". Not to mention it's also sexists.
I liked the post a lot, but I am furiously sceptical about this claim:

>This is why Apple Maps has higher market share than Google Maps

Do you have any (recent) source for this or is this just a wild guess? I literally know no one that prefers Apple Maps over Google Maps.

Why not maybe don't allow bad drivers to drive at all? Like don't give a license without 40 hours of driving school with a professor, have a test with traffic rules, then have a final test with an official. Have the drivers provide medical proof they are capable, Each time a driver does something dangerous like speeding remove his driving license for a few months, etc. Btw don't give driving licenses to kids could also work.

It is not like we the ONLY solution is AI driven cars, there are a lot of more cheaper solutions, even tech ones like identifying drunk drivers, speed limiting cars to match the road limits etc.

I believe the team responsible for functions, both for GCP, AWS and Azure, do great work in optimizing functions, far, far better work than we could have done on our own.
The problem in our case is that they are architectured to only support a single request. It's not possible to serve a request faster by starting a new anything than serving it from something that is already running.
It's been the same throughout history.

That only works for things that don't depend on a legal framework to be useful.

Some of these blockchain applications are essentially proofs of concept waiting for a legal framework to support them. But until that framework exists, it doesn't make much sense to use the applications for anything that involves real value.
I'd be surprised if windmills or solar panels require as much mining per power output as nuclear power...

And you don't have to handle them like the are, well, radioactive...
Of course. So, the idea that car is time efficient doesn't seem to really hold water even when our urban landscape is designed for it, especially in my lived experience.

Is it really going to be all that useful for me if I only walk 5 minutes as opposed to driving 5 minutes to a local convenience store? Especially given the cost on society?

If you can get to a store by a car, you could get to a store by a motor bike.

I have a really hard time justifying myself that I need a one or two ton electric vehicle that can seat five people just to get a drink at that corner shop only accessible by driving.
Someone linked it in the comments over there, but I think it's worth reposting here, "The Edges of Our Universe" by Toby Ord (https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.01191), which goes over a number of different radii of this form that one could define.
