Just like Shabbat elevators, to me these all sound like weird, hacky, kinda stupid, environmentally unfriendly solutions to problems caused by ridiculous made up rules, that -- ultimately -- don't even matter, because while 50 or so years behind everyone else, the Amish are still going to adopt grid electricity, smartphones and Node.js sooner or later.

You can also find the same amount of hacker DIY ingenuity in places where scarcity is not self-imposed, e.g. rural Russia, and those people get much more respect from me than weird religious communities almost piggybacking on the rest of the society.

This would made sense for Delta and the initial strains but ya’ll look a bit neurotic wearing N95 for omnicron unless you are already near death. It’s so damn contagious, when do we accept the fact that this isn’t going away and we cannot possibly wear masks forever?

WTF, I live in Portland and the only supply chain issues I see are that WinCo is the only place I can get diet orange soda at.

What the heck are you talking about? I've seen heavy cream in literally every grocery store I've gone into. Supply chains for food are not screwed there.

I'm in South Africa. A lot of people wear masks especially at stores, malls etc, but outside of that most people do not seem to bother. To be honest I'm fed up with masks now, so I'm gradually starting to just go without. No complaints so far.
SysJoker: Analyzing the first macOS malware of 2022
Actually, I just realised what I said above was slightly inaccurate, we also built an application that embedded CEF, so I technically have embedded another js engine (that was 7+ years ago though, and my memory is spotty).

CEF was also relatively straightforward to use. Both times we were embedding them in C++ applications.
I‘ve enjoyed revisiting topics I learned in school through the Kahn Academy[1]. You can pick any topic you want to start with and follow it through as far as you want.

It's a good summary of much of the specifics of the situation but his conclusions aren't quite right. Ignoring Taiwan in relation to the overall strategic conflict with China's regional dominance ambitions is either disingenuous or ignorant to reality. Letting China do to Taiwan what it has done with Hong Kong, or more likely, Xinjiang is not the end but rather the beginning.

The problem for me is identifying where exactly in my mathematical fundamentals things fall apart (like with prime numbers, some basic arithmetic, geometry) that makes higher-level math a struggle conceptually. It's always felt like there were holes in my fundamentals. I suspect the only way to figure this out is to go back and do everything again either through Khan Academy or books. Does anyone else have this issue?

When it comes to math, I try to avoid self-diagnosing with dyscalculia or with poor working memory. Instead, I think I've gone so long with math being an anxiety-inducing subject that any time I need to solve math under the tiniest amounts of pressure, I fall apart.

Mind naming what book you used?

Indeed - one of them can be, at least in theory, controlled by society. That’s what’s happening in China. The other is where corporations essentially own the state, as is the case in US.

It doesn't matter about industry as much as size and maturity of the organisation. There are different types of DBS checks listed on https://www.gov.uk/dbs-check-applicant-criminal-record and pulling a basic one is the default. In any event, I'd get the information that is being shown in the DBS check so that I could see what an employer may be seeing. That makes it easier to challenge.

That link also mentions the requirements around an ex-offender policy that the company needs to have. I'd request that if I was declined, to ensure the employer is actually following a process. If not, there could be some room for negotiation.

Smaller organizations that are not in regulated industries will be better bets for the original poster. Finance, pharma, healthcare, education etc. are all regulated industries and will have to maintain some level of compliance. How well they do it will vary, but if you aren't flagged initially, you may well be flagged later on. This happens all the time. Small FinTech specialises in trying to skirt the boundary of compliance at times, so you may find that some are laxer than others.

A sweet spot might be software efforts supporting manufacturing or marketing. There are a lot of agencies that build smaller software for large organisations that don't do these in-depth checks and are often building/demoing in their own environment before handing everything over to the company or providing the hosting so that a department can run shadow IT.

I think we know where the virus have started at this point with reasonable confidence, and it wasn't Alaska. Can't help but notice tho that U.S. origin of virus was a popular CCP media propaganda point last year.

I have a collection of various 94+% masks that I amassed towards the beginning of the pandemic. About 6 or 7 types. Only 1 of them doesn’t fog my glasses in the winter (and it’s a freakin Honeywell respirator) That means all of the others are leaking, even when I wear them “properly”
That isn't so, and both controlled studies and population-level statistics make that clear.

The type system isn't fine. Try making an ArrayList<int> or a Integer[]. Also, due to type erasure, it is impossible to check the type of a generic at runtime which can be really annoying.
The batteries included aspect of PHP is very 1990s. It's the thing I always disliked the most about PHP in that so much of the functionality required PHP to be built with all kinds of stuff compiled in and in shared hosting environments you would be at the mercy of however the admins built their PHP (not to mention having to deal with the overhead of having loads of code that you might not want in your system). Maybe it's gotten better since I was writing PHP code 14 years ago, but ugh.
Hehe that’s true

I think this is an overly harsh take. In many applications Go's knob-less GC works well enough and avoids any fiddling at the cost of non-optimal memory utilisation in some cases. It's not obvious to me that adding loads of knobs to help tuning for special cases is an overall win as it undoubtedly adds complexity for many users who are not bothered about this fine tuning.
> And I'm amazed at how gold-bug conservatives so conveniently ignore the previous 13 years of furious money-printing that accompanied near-zero inflation levels.

No one's ignoring the last 13 years of furious money printing. What you point out is the exact problem with money printing. When you dump a ton of new money into an economy everything seems fine for a while, until it doesn't. It's kind of like Wily Coyote running off the cliff. Everything is fine at first, but at some point he notices that there's no ground under his feet anymore.
I'm not suggesting anything really. If anything I'd be happier for even more asynchronous collaboration via email, and realtime chat available as an exception.

In the thread chain I was just curious why people think IRC could not be a Slack replacement.

Related to your question about these integration services.

Running an IRC server is definitely not complicated. Bots which implement authentication/authorization already exist (NickServ/ChanServ/X). History saving is also common, and for in-client message history a bouncer is a pretty good tool to have. Document downloading, you have DCC, or yet other bots you can query/download from (pretty common in the mp3 download era).

If there was incentive someone could create a bundled package that unifies all these different components + a more modern client interface and people would not have any issue using.

It's not in the problem space I'm interested to work on, but functionally even the more restricted existing IRC offering would be something I'd rather use than the gif meme filled, emoji overdosed chats I've had on Slack.

On the other hand, I've been an independent contractor for a couple of years now and I had the pleasure of not being part of large team slack channels anymore anyway.
Agreed, I've used trig once since I left college for an image manipulation problem. Discrete mathematics, Algebra, statistics, and depending on the roles ... linear algebra are far more likely to be useful.
I think the Chinese government would have reacted like this even if it didn't know what they were dealing with, which still is the most likely explanation.

I think the general information control we saw around Covid far more concerning.
>“It turns out that leakage dominates over filtration.” Masks should have a tight fit around the face and nose to minimize any air leakage.

Wasn't this exactly what people against mask mandates were ridiculed for saying? That most of the cloth masks were effectively just for appearances because they didn't form a seal around the sides of your mouth? I vividly recall people being mocked for suggesting this early in the pandemic. Seems like governments were just trying to cover for the fact that N95 masks were in short supply

I won't dispute Trump exaggerated. That's a given.

On the other hand, all I can find are articles on the stockpile being depleted and that even if full there were numerous warning about full not being enough.

So again, a simple question: Why? And why isn't anyone willing to ask why?

We knew this was coming. We even got a warning. And still not even close. But no accountability??

Young people have the least access to debt (ignoring college debt) and if they have access it’s at higher interest rates. They are the least able to take advantage of high inflation. Unlike rich people who get lower interest rates and tend to own inflation resistance assets. High inflation benefits the rich. AFAIK wages are not keeping up with inflation. Plus looks like we’re going into a stagnation / recession. So even as someone who graduated into the Great Recession I think this generation has it worse.

I wonder how much wage growth is actual a shift in the average from the lowest wage people losing their jobs. There has been a marked increase in hidden unemployment / non-participation.
I believe that while cloth masks are not very effective at protecting you, they are a LOT better at reducing viral spread if you are the infected party. So it still can be quite effective at reducing overall spread of Covid.

That being said, if you want to better protect yourself, you should probably be wearing a better quality mask. It's the reason why I've only ever worn KN95 or N95 masks since the start of the pandemic.
If you are making money using open source software, it's always nice to support the creators of the software you use.

I'd expect in case of actual war, prepare for commercial network connectivity to fail.

Satellites? Shot down.

Fiber? ISP and higher-level routers are owned or simply DDOSed

Cellular? what parts of the edge are owned is down, the core networks get targeted heavily. At best this will be spotty.

The big internet-interconnects? Targets for cruise missiles and any other viable attacks.

BGP? Fully poisoned and needs to be cleaned up before anything works.

I'd expect the DoD to have their own networks up that are much more resilient. But our current highly interconnected, triered, and multi-faceted internet is going down the moment war between the great nations breaks out. It is simply too easy, and too valuable for the enemy not to do this.

This article talks about WIV (est. 2018), which is across the city from the market, not 2 blocks away and about 2016 research that was also not located near the wet market in 2016. The Level 2 lab only moved near the wet market in 2019, at which point the Level 4 lab was the one conducting the research.

Also from the article:

> The genetic code of SARS-CoV-2 does not resemble that of any virus the WIV was known to be culturing in its lab, such as WIV1, and Baric says he still believes a natural spillover is the most likely cause.

The timelines and genetic profiles don’t match up for a level 2 lab leak 2 blocks from the wet market.
Have you tried the internet?

Why has there been such a proliferation of these Reddit-style obvious questions upvoted? The front page is full of "Ask HN: what can I do about <insert obvious problem>?"
No, but employers usually look at it for past work experience and positions. All of this will be on your CV/resume anyway. I believe that I get a lot more recruiters reaching out because of it (for better or worse).
Almost every single time someone links a paper on HN as evidence of their statement, it shows evidence of the opposite of their statement:

2nd paragraph:

In a study by Chia et al. (2020), SARS-CoV-2 genes were detected in sampled aerosol particles with diameters >4 μm and 1–4 μm [20]. In a study by Liu et al. (2020), SARS-CoV-2 was detected in submicrometer aerosol particles ranging between <0.25 and 1 μm in diameter via a droplet-digital-PCR-based detection method [21]. In a study by Liu et al. (2020), the maximum SARS-CoV-2 concentrations of 40 and 9 copies per m3 of air were measured in aerosol samples with diameters of 0.25–0.5 μm and 0.5–1.0 μm, respectively [21].
> the possession of which is easily cryptographically verifiable

Too bad for NFTs that "possession" is a legal problem, not a technological-one. If a court and government doesn't recognise that cryptographic verification, you're out of luck.
You imply a bunch of things I didn't say. We don't have a definition or model of creativity or intelligence, even within humans and other animals. Most humans struggle to view other things as intelligent when they are at a close inspection. We have some mild understanding at a sort of system level, but it's usually enough to generally bin things up into not intelligent or not.

For something like the original post, we do know what these things are. They're statistical models. Full stop. They show no indication of what we see in creative and intelligent behavior, that is the ability to self-adapt to both internal and external initiatives. This GAN in the post has no ability to step outside of the statistics in the training set unless the model is updated to prod it to do so. The model can be changed, but it is a forceful change. If you show me tens of thousands of images, I am not, at an emergent, top-level, system level, etc., bounded to the statistics of that image set. Is this GAN asked something or given a goal aside from an implicit "draw something like what we've given you"? Even if I do draw something like or akin to the given image set, I have full creative control over the image (assuming some drawing skill).

If the human brain (and really body) can be modeled via a statistical model (which is not yet known but is surmised as you imply), that doesn't necessarily explain high-level behaviors. More is different. You call it magic sauce, but others call it emergence. Our understanding of emergent behavior and complex systems at large is still in work.

In my view, metaphorical thinking, of which analogical thinking is a subset, is a likely kernel of human intelligence. While these statistical models are copying, which is similar in a way to analogy building, it's not quite there. The reason things it generates looks like other things is because it searched a parameter space for matching statistics. However, it cannot even explain that's why it generated what it did. We explain for it. These things are no more artificially intelligent than things like thermodynamics are naturally intelligent.

Lastly, as I pointed out in my original comment, if this is indeed creative as someone like you implies, the article fails to make a convincing argument and bounces around a lot of buzzwords.

> I find it very irritating that such shallow reasoning prevails amongst intelligent people.

I was offended, but I suppose I agree. ;)
It’s still useful if it is “only” 25x better or even just 4x.
Same here, not sure why anyone thought this was going to be over in a couple months. Especially here in the US which at this point is a failed state. Our government can't even provide basic services.
Krugman has become a political pundit. You are quoting his punditry work. Economists have never claimed globalization is a net negative, because it's not. I agree they did not a do a good enough job of ensuring the government would help those harmed by globalization, but that is because they largely believe it's not their place to recommend policy actions, not because it surprised them.
> The difference is profound: when taking the mask off you notice that there are _smells_ that have been filtered by the mask. Never had that experience with the ear loop kind.

I notice that with KN95 ear loop masks consistently.
The methodology used by BLS is publicized and you can know what is and is not included in the calculation. There is no conspiracy to hide this information. If housing costs are what you want to know about then don’t use BLS’ calculation. There are agencies that track rent and housing prices.
I 100% understand that - The point I'm trying to make is- the next "brown out" is permanent - so instead of 24 hours, next time you will have a permanent loss of productivity. I.E. Why are there devices being deployed that are still broken? Because in a few months, they are never coming back until they are fixed.

The idea is to make brownouts increasingly painful - just letting them be a short period of time, or let people "Opt. Out" doesn't service the purpose here - which is to make it absolutely clear that the service is going away.
I thought Samsung was the top tech company.
So a bit less than 6 live connections per CPU saved with the garbage collector configuration.
General agreement.

One correction: Airplanes are safer than Costco.

When I first read the claims about air exchange rates on airplanes, I thought it was corporate propaganda. I looked at the research. Flying is authentically pretty safe. The air gets cycled and scrubbed insanely quickly. There's still a risk, but it's safer than Costco.

If you do need to travel, you want to be paranoid exactly at airports and similar. The flight itself is not so bad.

There was a flight a while back, where everyone wore masks (cloth or surgical) and had some crazy number of people with COVID on-board, but no in-air spread.
First of all, if a transmission can happen at a wet market, it can also happen inside a lab. One doesn't need a virology degree to understand something this simple. As a matter of fact that's exactly what happened in a Taiwan lab [1].

> The Wi-Fi 7 Sensing draft standard is proposing to make this available to everyone.

As your sentence before this says, it already is available to everyone. The only thing wifi 7 opens up is someone with less technical know-how being able to flash openwrt and install some program that extracts and/or visualizes the sensing data, but $20 ESP32's isn't much of a cost to someone looking to use radio wave sensing maliciously right now.

I think that's probably the key part: the vaccination discussion has generally conflated two parts — neutralizing antibodies are what help you avoid getting sick at all but those wane over time, whereas the T cell response which helps you quickly fight off an infection lasts far longer. That has been very poorly communicated because a lot of the public health people have been focused on containing spread and T cells do not keep you from being contagious but that's really what we should be communicating: get vaccinated and this becomes a lot more similar to influenza.
