> There is growing evidence that there are multiple side effects from these vaccines, including heart problems for males

Right, except that myocarditis is also a possible side effect of COVID, and the incidence as a COVID side effect is an order of magnitude larger than as a vaccine side effect.

> I dunno - I got COVID and while it wasn't pleasant, it wasn't any worse than the worst flu I have had in the past.

This is why articles like this are so useless: they rely on anecdotes cherry-picked to support their conclusion, not on actual data that tracks both positive and negative effects. You got lucky; many many people do not.

I would really love it if there was some type of Leetcode for math. I grew up in a very liberal artsy environment and was actually warned against taking advanced math for most of my life. It wasn't until college, taking requirements for my CS major, that I realized I actually find it fascinating and have an aptitude for it - but then college ended and I just have barely done any math since.

If anyone has any resources on this or general advice I'd love to hear it. It seems to me like all the coolest cutting edge stuff in Tech right now requires a lot of math so I'd love to start grinding at it.
Trees/hierarchies ("folders") are for organization, unconstrained graphs/networks ("tags") are for ontologies. Crossing these streams leads to a lot of trouble.

When flexible graphs/networks are abused for organizational purposes, you get circular dependencies, spaghetti code, and general dysfunction. Organizations (code or people) need to be easy to navigate.

When rigid hierarchies are abused for classification purposes, you run into "class House, class Boat, class HouseBoat extends ???" knots. Ontologies need to be flexible.

Modern filesystems necessarily use both: we have folders, and we have file types/tags.

Acoustics is a more direct parallel, and even uses the same unit- the acoustic Ohm. The hydraulic Ohm also exists, but is not really used.

Helmholtz resonators[1] are used to provide capacitive acoustic impedance in a gas system. Archetypically a beautiful hollow copper sphere. Ported subwoofers use the same formulas, as do some types of automotive exhaust. Exhausts use a long pipe and cylindrical section to form a low-pass filter, which transforms the individual exhaust bursts of an engine into a smooth continuous flow. Two stroke exhausts[2] are band-pass filters that improve compression by putting backpressure on the engine at the correct time.

There are also some very interesting analogies with mechanical and thermo dynamical* systems.

What i find even more interesting, is that those analogies are no lucky coincidence.
The rules of dynamical systems apply on a higher level. The differential equations governing those systems do not care, how the concepts of inertia, capacitance or resistance are realised in a real world system. Those are implementation details.
Neither do physical principles, like the principle of least action, which 'govern' those differential equations.

*Fun fact: Classical thermals systems do not have an inductive element. That's why there are no oscillations in thermal systems. You need two kinds of energy storage for that, so that the energy can switch between them.
Go with Germany. Ask the local IHK and equivalents of WTSH to introduce "de minimis" grants and partnership opportunities to you. The tax gifts and free introductions will be worth much more than the slight inconvenience of having to pay €80 and spending an evening to visit the notary office.

I've been running mid sized privately owned companies in Germany for 13 years now. It was a learning curve, but by now I fully understand why there's so much "Mittelstand" where other countries just have a glaring hole between rich and poor.

In my opinion, the only true alternative better than Germany is to incorporate in the US for easier access to their market. But with Stripe and SaaS, almost nobody cares. It's all credit cards on the web anyway.
>I’m surprised nobody has ever considered that Bitcoin is vulnerable to attacks.

It's hard to know sometimes if one is being sarcastic on HN, but at any rate, Bitcoin is quite possibly the most scrutinized piece of technology ever developed and there is an enormous amount of research, both academic, corporate, and even just random independent individuals looking for any kind of fault with it whatsoever.

Does that mean Bitcoin is infallible? Absolutely not, but to claim that nobody has considered that Bitcoin is vulnerable to attacks is just one of the most ridiculous claims I've read on HN, once again assuming you're not being sarcastic.
This seems eerily related to this[0]:

>According to proponents of the new model, it’s not the management-by-stress techniques employed by profit-focused hospital executives that are driving the labor exodus from health care. The problem is the lack of “flexibility.” It’s not understaffed and under-resourced hospital floors, according to Ahrens, but the “red tape (of) regulatory and licensing hurdles to practice” and the “onerous onboarding and credentialing processes that keep professionals in orientations instead of actually providing care” that are making people leave the profession they once cared deeply about. CareRev advertises higher wages to nurses than standard full-time employment, but in pitching the gig model to hospital administrators, Ahrens advises that “engaging professionals beyond money by focusing on flexibility is key.”

The problems are twofold:

1. The language is a significant problem. If you get everything right, it will do what you want. That's the only nice thing I can say about it. Almost every error it will give you will be misleading. I haven't had such a hard time figuring out errors since early C++ template metaprogramming. And frankly, that was easier.

It needs real diagnostics, and that frankly, that means it needs real types. But that won't happen. Too much of the informal type system of nix is "whatever keys that library function uses, go look in the source."

2. Half-implemented packages. Try walking out of the golden path on a package, without having to modify its nixpkgs entry.

Between the two, it's more nerd-bait than usable platform.
I don't think anyone - except perhaps you - is suggesting that the eruption caused an actual rise in sea levels.
You don't need necessarily need to spend much. Of course quality music lessons or gymnastics will consistently cost a bunch but the lion's share of things will not. I know plenty of impressive scientists who were very middle class growing up. Collect coins, stamps, or sports memorabilia. Practice sports statistics and trivia. Go for hikes and catalog leaves, plants, and insect specimens. Grow a garden or vegetable from seed. Learn cooking while teaching the physics and chemistry of it, or focus on the artistic aspects. Explore your local road maps and learn navigation skills. Put a world map on the wall, then throw a dart at a country and grab a book on it from the library. Draw comics or try digital art. Draw dinosaurs. Build PCs from spare parts or try retro computing or vintage electronics. Do online coding for kids. Try robotics kits. Learn how to do bike tune-ups and maintenance, then get old grody bikes from friends and refurbish them. Try a new game monthly like Chess, Go, or Backgammon. And an important one would be to take advantage of local geography and culture. For example, in Illinois and Wisconsin, we can enjoy the geology and ecology of the Great Lakes, or the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.
I don't expect many programs do this (and I agree the real solution would be handles) but it should be possible to check the timestamp on the PID file and only kill the corresponding process if its startup time was earlier.

There might still be race conditions but this should cut down the chance dramatically.
Ted Nelson's Computer Lib/Dream Machines is still on point. It's not much more specific than I am, still mostly vague. But I dont think we're at a stage where focusing on specifics would do anything but mislead, would winnow down an idea, would have us thinking about a tree when the plot is about the forrest.

> you save a considerable amount of money and get a lot better performance when building your own cluster.

This heavily depends on how much benefit you get from improving GPU performance from each generation. A lot of people assume 3/4-yr TCO. If you instead "rent" for 1 year at a time, you've been getting >2x benefits per generation lately.

Most folks also measure "occupancy" for clusters like this rather than "utilization". That is, if a job is using 128 "GPUs" that counts as 128 in use. But that ignores that many jobs might have been just fine with T4s (which are a lot cheaper) versus A100s. (Depends a lot on the model, the I/O, etc.) Once you've bought a physical cluster, you're kind of stuck with that configuration (for better or worse).

tl;dr: It's not just about "idle".

What a strange coincidence: 17 hours ago Edward Kmett tweeted about Dunning-Kruger https://twitter.com/kmett/status/1485464550786883588?s=20
the network topology and the network switch itself also can make a huge difference depending on traffic conditions; so you might have tons of fat NICs per GPU but if all of them want to alltoall, you better have a ton of cross section bandwidth.

I always wonder about performance on these clusters. Back in MY day, I'd wait a week or more for results from my jobs, and immediately resubmit to wait two weeks in a queue for another week of runtime and do lots of data processing in the downtime. Then, I moved to cloud and decided on "what can I afford to do overnight" (IE, I set my time to result to be about 12 hours). I have a hard time justifying additional hardware to get results in 10 minutes versus a day, it seems like at that point you're just using it to get fast cycle times on new ideas, but who has new ideas every 10 minutes?

If Bitcoin had instead surged 31% since the "bitcoin bet", the same people pointing to this decline as proof of failure would be (rightfully) dismissing the surge as insignificant due to the intrinsic volatility of bitcoin. The truth is that its impossible to know how El Salvador's bitcoin gamble will ultimately play out, and most of the criticism being leveled at El Salvador right now is due to the pre-existing bias that many have against Bitcoin and crypto in general. This bias is also closely linked to the unfounded faith that crypto naysayers hold in the solvency of the US federal reserve and legacy financial system as a whole (which is similar to the unfounded faith that Bitcoin zealots have in crypto).
I appreciate your reply. Understandable that it probably would not be too polite to go into identifiable details in public then. :)
>It is NOT. If you're talking dumb developers it is their problem.

It VERY MUCH IS. I am not talking about dumb developers. I am talking about basically every developer. The pattern is so ubiquitous that it's basically required knowledge. FP is NOT required knowledge.

>Golang is strictly corporate language with very defined goals and using it it as a hammer is just as dumb.

Golang was invented by Rob Pike who has THIS to say about OOP:

"object-oriented design is the roman numerals of computing"

So is golang a corporate language with very defined goals? Maybe from certain angles sure you can think of it that way. But Did Rob Pike not include OOP in the language because of this? No. From the quote, OOP was eschewed from golang because "it's the roman numerals of computing."

>I am not using Rust at all so can say little how good it is "hammer wise"

Rust shares largely the same story and philosophy as golang when judging the OOP pattern.
I don't think you can plausibly win your argument that the 3/5ths Compromise had the intent, let alone the effect, of abolishing slavery. But I don't have to have that argument with you, because you've forgotten about the other slavery clauses.

As for the hypocrisy of the founders, you have only to reconcile their own words about the morality of slavery with their actions.

I'm not trying to hate on SELinux, it's great stuff, for what it is. I'm not trying to hate on you either, though clearly you seem to have hatred towards me, which is just sad.

I'm happy to accept that SELinux is now built-in to Linux, the kernel parts do indeed seem to be built in now, news to me, thanks for that. I don't follow Linux kernel stuff much anymore, I haven't contributed to Linux in over a decade.

You seem to assume SELinux is the end-all be all of Linux security. It isn't. I recognize, based on your other comment, that you are fairly new to the field(a whole decade, go you!). Please open your mind and accept differing perspectives, it will do wonders for your ability to reason about security properly.

HardenedBSD[0] essentially implements grsecurity for FreeBSD, plus FreeBSD has built-in capabilities with Capsicum[1], which is true capability based security, which is much different than SELinux's MAC stuff. If you don't believe me, go read the capsicum paper[1] and come to your own conclusions, it might prove enlightening.

Also, see CheriBSD. :)

If you just want to continue hating on me, no reason to respond, we can go our separate ways. If you want to have a reasoned discussion about security, then I'm happy to continue.
Seeing that the nix language was influenced heavily by haskell, perhaps Dhall would be an interesting “port”/change for the project - it is a deliberately non-Turing complete configuration language with types (but heavy type inference) and functions.

Because let’s be honest, types are user documentation as well, and the project would benefit greatly from the latter.

> If my pet would communicate with me on the level of GPTx, I would be very impressed.

GPTx is not communicating with anyone. It is generating text that resembles text it had in its training set. The fact that human text is normally a form of communication doesn't make generating quasi-random text communication in itself. GPTx is no more communicating than a printer is when printing out text.

A cat or dog leading you to their empty food bowl is actual communication, and they are capable of much more advanced communication as well (especially dogs). The fact that it doesn't look like written text is not that relevant. They are of course worse than GPTx at producing text, just like they are worse than a printer at writing it on a blank page.
> # Uses the auto-generated column name

The fact that someone felt the need to add that comment hints at a design mistake. Synthesizing symbols is weird, unnecessary and is probably a violation of the principle of least surprise.

Otherwise I think PRQL has some value. Nice work. I strongly suspect that if SQL looked more like this there would be a lot more people willing to use the query language directly and perhaps fewer that are compelled to bury it under shifting layers of fragile abstractions.

I wasn't thinking it'd be useful, but more that it's good to remain as free as possible from any assumptions about the schema of the data. I often work with tables that have unusually large schemas (> 100MB) and have seen some products' performance severely degrade as a function of schema complexity.

(But otherwise +1 to schema awareness during authoring.)
Man, I really hope something like this takes off. SQL is so entrenched but it's really showing its age and its pitiful standardization.

Tags I've always thought of conceptual while Folders are at the very least absolute.

Let's say I'm recording events for my future travels.
trips/paris.md and trips/cancun.md are in my folder structure with them tagged as business and vacation respectively. Later, I can go back and add a "mistakes" tag to cancun.md, but really if ever need to look up all my trips, I know it will be in trips and it's incontrovertible fact that cancun was a trip.

There's room for both, but tagging historically came out of a need where search functions were poor. These days tagging is unnecessary work imo.

It should be possible to mimic tags with folders & clever scripting that moves files around according to their "tags".

Imagine a command like:

tagmv file1 file2 directory1 directory2 -t tag1 tag2 tag3

where it moves the files/directories to something like

~/t/tag1#/tag2#/tag3#/

Or instead of using "#" could use some other special/rare character/unicode to indicate that it is a "tag-directory".

The hierarchy of the tag-directories could ordered from the most common to least common tags. The most common tag, would have the tag-directory under the top level directory (something like ~/t/ to prevent confusion with the rest of the filesystem perhaps?).

The files & tag-directories could get re-organized every time the usage of tags changes, in order to keep the hierarchy from most common tags to least common.

A set of tools like tagmv, tagcd, tagls, etc could work with this tag-based structure.

Thoughts?

To be more specific is it a replacement of more and more Linux userland that nobody asked.
