The article notes the backloaded vesting schedule as a contributing factor, but ironically it’s one of the biggest reasons I took a position with AWS late last year.

In a market with sky high tech valuations, a big tech position that’s all cash for the first two years was very appealing since a correction across the board seems likely(note: Amazon offers extra cash for the first two years to keep your comp roughly the same every year).
> There is a reason vaccines take a long time to develop.

What is the reason?
Agreed and the situation is not acceptable. But I believe the motivation does matter. There are some people that escaped prosecution and the statements from some Palestinian extremists mirror the desire to subjugate Jews again. Even if they are just a chess piece for Iran or they have their own animosity, the way to their own land has to go through reconciliation with Israel. Not the settlements, but Israel.

They claim the work was done in just two years ("The supercomputer, the AI Research SuperCluster, was the result of nearly two years of work"). I'm not a expert in manufacturing, but I'd imagine it takes longer than two years to design > test > manufacture completely new chips.

Interesting. Gonna be fun to observe the outrage (from distance) about how GPUs are not only used to destroy the environment for cryptocurrency profits, but now Facebook will also contribute to the world destruction for ad-money.

Design goal question - is the goal to have a language that blindly compiles to SQL, or will compilation require data schema knowledge?

Certainly Germany's not a reliable ally for the USA.

But the rest of the analysis seems wrong. For example, it doesn't realise how important Nord Stream is for the Russian state finances. Russia is about to learn a lesson many EU countries have learned. Germany willingly pays (for gas or whatever). And later, the decisions made are ones acceptable to Germany.

over <1yr time frame, severity hurts the virus spread. consuming resources and triggering sneezing etc does. Therefore random mutations tend toward mild severity (symptoms like sneezing, not instant death).

HIV is an interesting case because it is "just a flu" for a few weeks, then remains contagious but isn't severe at all, until it develops into AIDS years later.
Units by definition are not external behavior. sometimes they change external behavior, but there are a lot of changes that make code cleaner without changing external behavior. All too often I've discovered after a few years that I really need to split some unit into two.
How, out of curiosity?

I haven't made much use of them but the mirrors or raidzs seemed to perform more or less inline with expectations (consumer hardware may not have the PCIE lanes really available to run multiple fast NVME devices well).
That's pretty obvious, of course. The more media attention on side effects there is, the more likely it is that people will report side effects, including incidental side effects.

When the public is discussing if we should mandate vaccines or not, and at what age, and in order to do what activities... including important activities like receiving an education... yes, you need to have these conversations outside of the ivory tower.
Where does the article say that Covid deaths were the same in vaccinated and unvaccinated groups? What relevant data is missing from the table?

As far as I can tell, the point is to show the tiny difference in this particular study between the vaccinated and placebo for both total deaths and Covid deaths. It does that, and looking at the original tables doesn't change anything of note, as far as I can see.
I get it, but do you really think there are enough people willing to pay a subscription to keep Mozilla's business alive?

At this point the average consumer is used to free stuff, and a subscription model would ensure that Firefox is only used by a niche audience.

>pushing projects that are antithetical to privacy is just nauseating

this is a research tool. People voluntarily and with their own consent contribute data to understand how tech companies and algorithms use data.

If privacy now apparently entails that voluntarily collected data for scientific purposes is illegitimate we better close every university and business on earth down. These complaints are getting a little bit ridiculous.
This isn't the best analogy since PoW was declared beforehand that more work = more trust.

Hey HN,

Really excited to share this example. After multiple months of work Pion finally has bandwidth estimation. This is a really exciting/huge milestone.

Pion is a Pure Go implementation of WebRTC. Back when we started there was only one client implementation, and it wasn't targeted at the use cases I cared about. We spent a couple years writing all the software that makes up the WebRTC stack. Pion wasn't just about getting the software in peoples hands, but also teaching.

This is why BWE is especially exciting to me. It is a part of WebRTC that many people find challenging/hard to approach. We have something here that can be plugged into other projects (ffmpeg or GStreamer via CGO) and maybe eventually ported/rewritten. We also designed it in a way that you can subclass/modify and bring your own BWE.

If you are curious about general WebRTC https://webrtcforthecurious.com/ is a book that the Pion community maintains. Also would love to discuss anything here!

Yet another hot take on “folders versus tags”
Yeah, that's fair! My view is not that everybody should use Rally, or even Firefox. Rather, it's that even though there's going to be massive filtering going on with regards to who will even contribute data to Rally, it's still going to benefit the public to have biased quantitative estimates of parameters of interest, and to surface qualitative findings from the group of people who do contribute.

It's always possible in the future that Rally, or other initiatives, will find other ways to incentivize contributions (more projects that align with specific interests, more "visualization" of how your data contributions might impact the world, etc.).

As to whether the cost-benefit accounting (producing new knowledge, informing design vs. scaring users off Firefox, creating new privacy harms) will come out in favor of the project remains to be seen, of course!
I like it, it's readable, unlike some SQL alternatives I've seen it doesn't make me feel like I'm dumb and don't understand what a query even is.

I can't decide if it would be better or worse if it stuck more closely to SQL keywords. You use "from" and "select", but not "where", "order by", "group by". There's some danger of it being in an uncanny valley of SQLish, but I'm pretty sure I'd prefer just using those terms verbatim (including the space in "order by"... that style is less common in modern languages but it's not really that much harder to parse).

I'd like to see more examples of joins and composing SQL. Does this language make it easier to make more general SQL queries? Can I take two queries and squash them together in a reliable way? I feel like I end up with a lot of theme and variation in my queries, often involving optional filters.

I might even like a notion of encapsulation that could help this query language when it's embedded in other languages. Like if I could say, in the language itself, that a query has certain unbound variables (and not just ? or other placeholders). This language seems like it would be better for generating than SQL, and sometimes generation is just necessary (like in any application that supports data exploration), but for most common cases I'd hope to avoid that. Defining inputs and then making whole filter sections or other statements conditional on those inputs would help here.

> The message from governments and public health officials have morphed constantly over the past 2 years (...)

It really hasn't, and it boggles the mind how anyone could even attempt to gaslight about this well-documented topic.

The only charitable interpretation I have of this blatantly unrealistic assertion is whether, for some reason, people intentionally ignore the correlation between how waves start and how they motivate decisive but politically risky moves to reign them back in, the increase in vaccine uptake and it's impact on hospital admittances and death rate, and the impact of new strains.

Also, it boggles the mind how anyone can try to spin scientific progresses, such as the quantification of the impact of adopting makeshift solutions of cloth masks, as somehow things changing. I mean, is it really surprising that cloth masks aren't as efficient as N95 masks?

Where exactly comes this blatant attempt to gaslight everyone around topics that are so easy to corroborate ad verify?

This is a great article that suffers from a bad title (for HN, in my opinion). The tl;dr in TFA sums it up nicely:

If your game has banding, it is often very easy to get rid of simply by adding noise to the shader-outputs

I didn't know what Linelight was, but that's not important. The author has gone into some great detail complete with screenshots and examples in Unity to explain the problem. I don't suppose this is even game specific, if you're rendering to WebGL, or maybe building a 3D model (in Blender perhaps) this could be relevant.
This is an excellent lesson in how shitty my sense of geographic scale is.

The article actually specifically endorses anthropomorphizing viruses, because "feelings" are just a human metaphor on top of real biologic and physical processes, as how water likes to flow downhill.
Serious question, how does it stop when it gets to the right place? Does it have to thrust in the opposite direction or does it use some gravitational effect to slip into orbit?
VAERS is self-reported (and you can report for others) and not verified. We live in an age where a small segment of the population is highly motivated to cast doubt on vaccines.

Also, there has never in history been as quick and wide a rollout of a vaccine as COVID-19. If a database were tracking every negative outcome for a person after taking a vaccine - even if the vaccine didn't cause it - we would see a spike. You'd see a worrying spike in negative outcomes if we spun up a database that recorded adverse reactions after eating a banana, for example; doesn't mean bananas are killing people.
It's linear for now (check GPT-2 vs GPT-3), but we're close to the point of diminishing returns.

It should have also significantly reduced the temperature of the resulting ash cloud which reduced the quantity of particulate matter in the upper atmosphere. Which presumably reduces how much short term global cooling you get from the eruption.
Believing this necessitate to blindly trust market economy. Market economy is what makes NFT works. It always needs new places to expand to, even if those are entirely virtual. What makes mining profitable for some is not the value of the information stored on the blockchain they're mining for, it purely is speculation.
I have to disagree about the intent to deceive here. The author circled the total deaths and indicated that the study showed no advantage of vaccination. No matter how you slice it, that is clearly wrong, and certainly a former biologist would know that. It's also worth noting that the study had 30,000+ participants, and among them, there were only 2 instances of severe Covid in the vaccinated and 106 in the placebo group. Yet the author of the article chose to take a chart from one of the supplemental appendices out of context and deliberately misrepresent even that. This was not accidental, or just sloppy.
I think the academic side will start shifting towards research on efficiency and speed while companies will continue to push the cutting edge.

In the NLP space there's been a lot of work recently around reducing model sizes, since they've started to reach the point where model weights sometimes don't fit in the memory of most GPUs.

There's also projects like MarianNMT which completely abandon Python and write heavily optimized models with fast languages that can run quickly and accurately even without GPUs. I think we'll see a lot more of this, though of course there's a pretty big barrier in the sheer rarity of being good at both deep learning research and writing optimized low-level code.
It's not killed. It just has more comments than upvotes, so it's not going to rank anywhere near the top.
Right, that's why it was disappointing that a laptop so clearly marketed as supporting Ubuntu (XPS 9343) didn't even have decent sound support.
Yup, and there's the same issue with using these on internal combustion automobile or truck exhausts - the density change of increased cooling could might change the back pressure/suction at the exhaust port and reduce the engine efficiency. It would surely be a consideration on highly tuned race motors, but I have no idea if the magnitude of the effect would be even noticeable on street cars & trucks. It is certainly fairly small, as you can drive through a puddle that soaks the exhaust and billows out clouds of steam, sucking out far more heat vs this thermoelectric system, and the engine doesn't even notice.

So, sure if you did it naively, without checking & compensating for secondary effects, you might have a net problem. But I'd be highly confidant that a bit of R&D and engineering design changes would easily take care of it.

Russia has been agressor for the last 200 years. Yes, including WW2, when in 1939 it together with their Nazi ally divided Europe and took half of Poland. Only after their "ally" (out of the "fear" as well) decided to attack the narrative changed to present the regime as an innocent victim. That's typical Russian propaganda that they need to protect their borders and their minorities, which is being used to justify the raping of their neighbours. Straight from propaganda book that Hitler was using in a build up of WW2.

The OP did not seem "reasonable" to me. It's mixing very different arguments in a way that's incredibly confusing, moreover the author seems to have a bias towards underplaying the benefits of mRNA vaccines whilst emphasizing rare adverse reactions and side effects, which in practice are nowhere near the severity of similar reactions following SARS-CoV2 infection.

There's nothing wrong with seeking to make "heretical" arguments, but these should call for more caution and striving for accuracy, not less. This article does not usefully contribute to the debate.

I had the same reaction. Panel 3 is especially stupid: my understanding is that manufacturers are not liable (in the US at least) for most vaccination-related issues on all vaccines, not just for COVID. The US federal government handles compensating people who are harmed by vaccines.

But yeah, it leaves out the obvious benefit: sure, I may still get COVID (though the likelihood is much lower), and I still have to wear a mask, but it's nearly guaranteed that my illness will be relatively minor and I won't need hospitalization or die.
