The only places where vaccinated hospitalizations outpace unvaccinated are in places with very high vaccine uptake. If you compare on a per capita basis, hospitalizations in the unvaccinated are higher.

There's also a highly transmissible variant, which shows some level of resistance to vaccination.

This move is a hedge against Apple and is not about gaming as much as it is about maintaining Windows client side hegemony.

Apple is almost certainly planning to release AR/VR headset in the near future, this raises the question; what hardware is going to be used to power this headset;
I'd bet Apple is working on a console like iDevice, or probably more likely an external GPU, that can be used with any Apple device.

Now imagine if Apple decides, admittingly in a very un-Apple like fashion, to allow anyone to run MacOS on their iPads, and iPhones; what that would do to consumer Windows market share.

This primarily establishes a moat against Apple, not Sony, and protects consumer Windows, not Xbox.

Tablets can bounce around on a treadmill if you really get going, and 10" is not 32". And you think customers are going to wall-mount a TV in the garage where a lot of treadmills live, rather than just buy a built-in screen? I mean, yeah, that's exactly what I did, but not everyone (not but a few?) are even that handy.

And on top of everything else, customers thought that they could watch whatever they wanted on their attached 32" LCD screen. Why fuck with wall-mounting a TV or a bouncy tablet when they sell a treadmill with the screen built-in?

Yep, totally agree with what you are saying. It is fundamentally uncertain. I do believe there are more jobs than we realize which aren't capable of being automated - things where there is a lot of diversity in the tasks required to do the job. Consider a real estate broker - no single task is rocket science, but there are perhaps 100 individual things a broker needs to be able to do. It's not going to be automated away. These 'highly diverse task' jobs are very common.

I'd think IT would be re-imaging the laptop from a common image before giving it to the user, so they'd still be better off getting the Windows laptop and wiping it.
The main barrier is the state of the tech, not media outrage.

There is a gap between the current state of the tech, and computers being better at driving than humans, that may be impossible to bridge. In order to bridge it, as a society we would need to accept a period where these things start to become more common, but they make our roads less safe.

Only through trial-and-error in blood can this technology improve. I don't think we will collectively see it as a worthwhile experiment.
> As for integer overflows, I don’t think they are nearly as big a security concern in a memory safe language with bounds checking. Feel free to correct me though.

See HeartBleed, CloudBleed, all buffer underflows resulting in buffer bleeds, letting someone read all your sensitive server memory, with no UAF.

They can also be caused just by integer overflow, which is what makes unchecked integer arithmetic so incredibly dangerous. It's easy for programmers to be oblivious to this, and overly rely on the borrow checker, thinking it can provide 100% memory safety, when by definition it can't.

And all kinds of software systems have these vulnerabilities. For example, I've worked on static analysis security software that could detect bleeds automatically in outgoing email attachments and it would find different bank systems leaking data in autogenerated statements.

From this experience, and from some bug bounty and security engagements I've done, I'm much more comfortable actually with Zig's approach to correctness and safety overall. I think the borrow checker is pretty awesome and has some serious muscle, but nevertheless Zig impresses me with its strict focus on explicitness, which I believe is the best approach still to eliminate these kinds of semantic gaps in general.

The borrow checker obviously can't protect you from bleeds (it can from some where static allocation is at play), but checked arithmetic would, or at least go pretty far — and again, it's about the spectrum, not the extreme.

It would be great for Rust to enable checked arithmetic by default for safety, with an opt-out for performance. Flipping this around would be a better default.

Platforms can allow marketers to target without abusing their users. The ball is really already in their court there. This is pretty heavy-handed.

I also can't help but think that this creates a mote for companies like Google and Facebook, who employ lawyers and engineers to make sure their ad business is legal. Furthermore using machine learning and proprietary signals in lieu of whatever data stuff like this manages to restrict.

As an upstart website, ad monetization will become increasingly difficult. As a small business, serving ads to the right users will become increasingly difficult.

Ads will not go away or stop being annoying from a user's perspective. They will be less relevant, too.

>pornography and perversion that percolates into the mainstream life via innocent channels - manga, anime, Reddit, and so on

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but it's interesting how manga/anime is invoked in these discussions, often unintentionally or even unknowingly recalling the image of 'weird Japan', a supposed hotbed of child abuse and perversion, where no material, much less anime and manga are safe for Western eyes, supposedly more moral and discerning.

I recently read a paper about this kind of discourse, in which the authors pointed out, quite rightly in my judgement, that the popularity of such readings in the mainstream Western press projects a certain idea of fiction and its relationship with reality which is not shared by many in Japan, and certainly not by the consumers of this 'pornography and perversion' according to ethnographic research on their opinions and perceptions.

Second is the idea of 'stumbling' upon porn. Some people even class Neon Genesis Evangelion as 'perversion' in its own right, and recently in the US, portrayals of adolescent sexuality in stories and books, which some lawmakers are trying to remove from libraries. I'm of the opinion that the sparation isn't nearly that easy. Teenagers writing Harry Potter slash fanfiction is a far cry away from Blender animated monster porn, and a fannish teenager or younger will have a greater interest in the former.

Consider just how well moderated most Internet communities are. The chance of seeing porn (as opposed to the anime equivalent of a very softcore porn gif) on r/all, or even r/anime is slim. A child is much more likely to 'stumble' accross it if a friend they know in real life sent it to them through Discord. The only other place I can really think of a child 'stumbling' in a zone meant for children would be Twitter, but then we're talking about Twitter, not 'reddit', 'anime', or 'manga'. In other words, I'm saying that just because the material exists, it doesn't mean it's innocently 'stumbled' upon by a wide-eyed child. Children get curious, especially when you tell them not to do something, or society provides that narrative.
I think often... it just ceases to exist.

E.g. What happens when the local diner goes out of business? There's no Law of Diners that mandates someone else step up. Sure, a McDonald's or Wendy's might drop in. But that's not really the same thing. (Restaurants are the obvious example, but it could just as easily be a machinist or florist. Flavor analogy to desired niche industry)

> dare criticize it anyhow, you are quickly marked either a) antisemitic

I don't think this is a good representation of anti-anti-Israel debate.

The opposite of antisemitism is equality, where there is no "special" treatment of either Jews or Israel. Anyone can criticize Israel for its policies, provided they also criticize other states that have similar policies and not "single out" Israel as such. If only Israel is criticized for certain policies and other states aren't, this brings up the question of inequality. This may be perceived a sort of thinly-veiled antisemitism.
But it hasn't conquered it! I kept searching the article for some new recent breakthrough that I've missed but it's not there. Yes, solvers like Pio have been around for years and limit holdem has been essentially solved for a while but nobody plays limit holdem anyway.

>> making better versions of old weapons is a waste of time.

Except for hypersonics being a basic step up for ballistic missile tech, a better warhead/payload atop a rather standard missile. Those submarines are incremental improvements on very old sub designs. Drones have been around for decades too. Even autonomous "suicide drones", but we used to call those cruise missiles with loiter capacity. Despite the constant rhetoric there is actually very little revolutionary in the modern battlespace.
I'm going to "vouch" your post, because its a fine point even if I disagree with it.

Rapid tests _always_ had bad sensitivity. Its gotten worse for Omicron, but going from "bad" to "worse" isn't really a big deal, because you never should have been relying upon negative test results anyway.

That's my point. The "use" of rapid tests was their "rapid" nature, coming back with a result in 15 minutes is way better than waiting for 3 days. The PCR is needed if you want to truly rely upon the result (well, kinda sorta. PCR got better sensitivity / specificity but its still not perfect).
You can do two things at once! Anyone who has the code probably has a lead on the current IP owner if any.
It's funny you mentioned the sun. I enjoyed the sun a little too much when I was younger. So one feature I enjoy in exercise bikes these days is the radiation protection.

The accessory part is also pretty neat though. I use a low end exercise bike that came with a snap-on plastic tablet holder. It works pretty well but it got me thinking about hacking the thing. I was finally able to mount a scanner radio, a ham radio, exercise bands, and my phone along with the tablet. Then my kids decided to take it off my hands for a while...I think Dad looked a little too motivated.

That's not a very good argument: "made with" implies that it is one of several ingredients. If Cheezits said "made entirely of" then the consumer would be understandably confused if there are other ingredients. Think about what you would answer to the questions "Did you make this pizza WITH sourdough?" vs "Is this cake made entirely OF lego?".

If the car can't "fully" self drive, then it shouldn't be marketed as such. Call it "partially self driving", "assisted self driving" or whatever.

You're correct in that the demosaicing algorithms have a huge impact on image quality as well, I'm just comparing the finished result of whatever Lightroom spits out at me. It's entirely possible the camera profiles are affecting image quality but if you assume everything else is the same then I've generally found better highlight recovery on CCDs than CMOS sensors. Totally anecdotal, I know, but there's a decent bit of agreement on photography forums as well (I know how superstitious and subjective photographers tend to be, so take this all with a grain of salt.)
Yikes, considering how many of them are solidly in the "I make little enough that I could go almost anywhere else and do just as well or better" crowd, or are very good at resisting stupid requests using the bureaucracy's own rules, that's just begging for mass resignations and all sorts of resistance/malicious-compliance.

At least, if OK's state government works like ours, that's the situation. This will be fun to watch if they actually try it.

[EDIT] I just looked it up and it seems like the idea is that state employees can optionally work as subs without losing their current pay, position, et c., not that they're being directed to. That's less crazy.

[EDIT EDIT] Oh, never mind, they wouldn't get the sub pay on top of their normal state salary, just their state salary. Yeah, approximately zero people will do this unless they really hate their usual job. Not crazy, just pointless, then.
Yes, it is materially different, and they tackle wildly different problems in different fields, with again wildly different sensing and control interfaces, different uncertainties and challenges, and unbelievably disparate levels of required training, certification, and competence for use.

The desire to name it "autopilot" stems from a desire for positive marketing, not a desire for technical correctness. (And certainly not from a desire to accurately convey limitations to users!)
Definitely my biggest issue with Postgres.

I have one shameful query where, unable to convince it to execute a subquery that is essentially a constant for most of the rows outside of the hot loop of the main index scan, I pulled it out into a temp table and had the main query select from the temp table instead. Even creating a temp table and indexing it was faster than the plan the Postgres query planner absolutely insisted on. Things like CTEs etc made no difference, it would still come up with the same dumb plan every way I expressed the query.

The worst thing is not even being able to debug or understand what is going on because you can't influence the query plan to try alternative hypotheses out easily.

Tesla explains it as:

Autopilot is an advanced driver assistance system that enhances safety and convenience behind the wheel. When used properly, Autopilot reduces your overall workload as a driver. Each new Tesla vehicle is equipped with 8 external cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors and a powerful onboard computer provide an additional layer of safety to guide you on your journey. Model 3 and Model Y built for the North American market have transitioned to camera-based Tesla Vision, which are not equipped with radar and instead rely on Tesla’s advanced suite of cameras and neural net processing to deliver Autopilot and related features. Model S and Model X continue to be equipped with radar.

Autopilot comes standard on every new Tesla. For owners who took delivery of their cars without Autopilot, there are two packages available for purchase, depending on when your car was built: Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability.

Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability are intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment. While these features are designed to become more capable over time, the currently enabled features do not make the vehicle autonomous.
Modern cell phones use A-GPS (Assisted GPS): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GNSS I also remember back in the early 2000s we were using a GPS-quipped PDA as a turn-by-turn navigation device, and for the first ten minutes the device simply asked us to wait.

At that time the signal was intentionally degraded in a process called Selective Availability (https://www.gps.gov/systems/gps/modernization/sa/). I didn't have any experience with that.
