I'm going to address this with a response to another message you made that elucidates my actual point way better than I could if I took the time to write an actual rebuttal.

> Wealth inequality is traditionally exacerbated by lack of government regulation. Further, I don't actually see cryptocurrencies actively trying to attack the problem of wealth inequality. Rather, they are staunch proponents of free markets which, left unchecked, result in massive wealth inequality.

It is exactly that Government regulation I discussed at length in my previous message and the lack of respect for it by the very same politicians who imposed it on 'the plebs' that resulted in severe wealth inequality: a large segment of first time small business owners are now beholden to creditors and banks due to ever changing closure restrictions that has led to mass bankruptcies in the Industry throughout COVID and a consolidation of over all Market share by major food chains with lobbyists and large conglomerates who are reporting record profits.

This act of Government regulation alone curtailed so much upward mobility in the US, most don't even realize that a large segment of restaurants owned in the US are held by first generation immigrants as it's a typical way for them to allow themselves and other immigrants to enter the labour force that would otherwise overlook them due to a lack of (recognized) formal education or experience. Often with savings or loans pooled together from family and friends in their home country that rely on them to send money back.

Many food industry workers, like experienced bartenders or servers in busy well known restaurants with no college education who could once live a solid middle class lifestyle are now struggling to get by: I know, because those people are my friends. Cooks have been riding a gravy train for the first time ever and have been seeing healthy wage increases, but that window has been closing now that the PPP funds are running out and restaurants have to carry payroll on their own now and the numbers aren't adding up.

You're simply deluded if you think Government regulation does anything but perpetuate the very wealth extraction and wealth inequality you're lambasting and that has been seen to date by the State: that is it's MO since the days of feudalism and slavery before that.
Probably not but it still beats any large city that likely has about a dozen or more with their name on it.
>cost per transistor has actually been going up for the leading edge processes

Isn't this just because of overall chip shortage? We might see very different scenario if TSMC, Samsung and Intel overinvest now.

Also, you could say that cost per transistor increased for older processes as well...

>power consumption has remained roughly flat

Any source for this? Anything I've saw contradict that.
Oh come on, that would have been awesome as a pic :)
They did not skip QA. The EMA (the European FDA equivalent) did not reduce the formal requirements for Covid vaccines compared to other vaccines. None of the Covid vaccines have an emergency use authorization in the EU. They all went through the regular process. That process was made more parallel and more incremental. And it was obviously executed with the highest priority possible.
Those ideas are indeed used in the IT world, but they are successful ideas, and they are much older than the IT world. By incremental I mean, the rolling review used for the trials. I.e. the pharma companies would deliver regularly preliminary versions of the final report on the trial. Thereby, a lot of questions about the report can be asked and answered earlier than in a traditional review process after the trial has finished.

It says he discovered a way to put mRNA into human cells. We don't even know that, really - we know he ran an experiment doing so.

It does not say he knows anything about the things he talked about on JRE: hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin, or anything about the specific mRNA being delivered to fight COVID (unless you are suggesting that ALL mRNA insertions kill people), or anything about immunity at all, or anything about Israel/Palestine, or anything about epidemics, or anything about monoclonal antibodies, or anything about mass formation psychosis (except to the extent he is trying to make it happen).
With all the things that end up being surprising settings that fingerprint me, why is there not an “absolutely no auto-playing video” setting?
Yes, this would work with Caddy without you needing to generate the markdown yourself or copy the generated html to /var/www. You simply edit the .md files and Caddy automatically generates the HTML on the fly.
I don't have any benchmarks compared to nginx but I'm using Caddy on multiple personal projects and I don't have any complaints about Caddy's performance.
Absolutely terrible UX (and bugs) after the new update. A few additional annoyances:

- When holding the steering wheel in the 10 and 2 position, my right hand covers the HUD and lane change camera

- Rear cam now has significant lag and stutters, so you never know if you are actually about to hit something (no, I don’t think it’s caused by the cable issue in the recall, came with v11)

- The infamous temperature control pop up covers the cam and HUD as well
Car prices going 5-10% up are very far from _major_ consequences.
DCOM is for networking it should never be used in-proc, other than for the coincidence that client and server were installed on the same computer, which then begs the question why not just use COM out-of-proc anyway.

Or are you mixing it up with the workarond that allows out-of-proc COM to be configured as DCOM, which kind of works, but opens a can of worms, given that the original COM isn't network aware?
What if the scientific proof chain was published as a knowledge graph? This could be easily followed and all questions by skeptics could theoretically be automatically answered.

Noise is one thing. There are plenty of instances where humans have had to pick out signals from seas of noise.

The anti-pro-sciencers are claiming there is not just noise, but a sea of deliberately fabricated conspiracy theories concocted over many decades with an ultimate end goal of putting tracking chips in them.
So much of this, a company I worked for was like that, I brought up that credit cards were not encrypted/that the monitoring was everywhere but not on critical systems, that dev were using backdoors ( if dev return admin basically) etc, nothing changed. Recently they reported a data leak, no shit...
This is the sort of mis-use of logic that has led to so many problems.

"Lockdowns" is shorthand for "people not coming into contact with other people in a way that spreads the virus"

It's shorthand for a set of government policies that were intended to reduce contact, not eliminate it, because "not coming into contact with other people" is impossible. People still have to go to shops, hospitals, care homes, live with each other, travel around and so on even during a lockdown.

Your belief that it's "completely absurd" to say lockdowns don't affect mortality is based on the kind of abstract but false reasoning that consistently leads epidemiologists astray. Consider a simple scenario in which lockdowns have no effect that's still compatible with germ theory - you're exposed to the virus normally 10 times per week every week. With lockdowns that drops to 5 times a week. It doesn't matter. Everyone is still exposed frequently enough that there will be no difference in outcomes.

"Because the virus cannot teleport through walls, lockdowns necessarily prevent transmission"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2003/04/18/i...

Viruses can in fact teleport through walls: "The SARS virus that infected hundreds of people in a 33-story Hong Kong apartment tower probably spread in part by traveling through bathroom drainpipes, officials said yesterday in what would be a disturbing new confirmation of the microbe's versatility."

In theory the references and bibliography sections of published papers would be more than enough to construct a knowledge graph.

Being able to construct a graph does not mean it's possible to check whether the claims are correct though..
I've had Libre Office completely destroy hours of work multiple times.

one example: In Excel, I was going great work dissecting raw data provided in another worksheet tab, and apparently writing formulas that LO couldn't understand, so upon opening this file in LibreOffice, LO stripped those cells out. just completely emptied those cells, and then saved the file, all without a warning or a prompt or anything. and, best part was that I was showing someone how LO can open Excel sheets just fine, without worrying. so not only did I prove myself wrong, destructively, I lost all of that work.

I will no longer use anything with "Libre" in the name out of principle.

The question isn’t whether lockdowns with compliance work, the question is how effective is lockdown as a policy. If you create a lockdown policy, what is the impact of that?

> Someone doesn’t purchase a Bored Ape NFT because they want to own the picture of an ape on their phone, they purchase it because it could go up in value in one day.

But why would it go up in value if nobody likes it? It doesn't make sense to buy stuff, especially expensive stuff on the off chance it could go up in value. Everything "could" go up in value. It could also go down. Especially if it's ugly and nobody wants it. Even if it's rare.
And who is doing that?
One current gap is that async drops aren't currently a thing - you cannot do any async work to clean up a resource. I imagine Niko will point that out in the next post. See also https://boats.gitlab.io/blog/post/poll-drop/

It is promising that a 5x increase is even theoretically possible.

Kotov's lab has done a lot of brilliant stuff. It'll be interesting to see if this makes it to mass adoption; probably not this year or next, though. doi:10.1038/s41467-021-27861-w and seems to be open access cc-by.

If you asked me if organic polymers could resist the growth of metal dendrites, I probably would have said no, because plastics creep like crazy, and metal dendrites are hard and sharp, so over time they will inevitably win unless they stop growing. But lithium is soft like cheese, and Kevlar's creep resistance is comparable to steel's. Maybe this is why Wang and Emre are publishing groundbreaking material science in Nature Communications and I'm not.
Reading a file from sysfs is great and script-friendly, sure. OTOH, finding the right file to read is less straight-forward.

For one, depending on kernel version and compile options, temperature/voltage/rpm files could be found under /sys/class/hwmon, or /sys/devices/virtual, or /sys/devices/platform/soc. And then, say, script found a dozen of those "temp", or "temp∗_input", or "microvolts" files. How to figure out which one is for CPU, motherboard, battery, PSU, air intake? Probably with extra logic, reading corresponding "temp∗_label", if those even exist? Parsing /sys/firmware/devicetree ? Taking hints from parts of the path-name, where such files are found?

lm_sensors is no silver bullet here either, but at least it does passable job discovering/labeling sensors most of the time.

Ideally, that would be a concern of the peer review. When I finished my undergraduate degree, I had to present a paper describing a program. I had to show that program working as part of my presentation. Anyone reading my "paper" and knowing I got a passing grade already knows the code I supplied works with the data I supplied, so I don't think it's that important for them to run it themselves.

Essentially, this would be like trying to reproduce a paper and starting by checking if their mathematical apparatus is correct. It's not useless, and it can help detect fraud or just plain bad peer review of course, but I wouldn't call that an attempt to reproduce their results per se.
For programmers this is absolutely true. And because the SSG itself isn't exposed to arbitrary threats, there's not nearly the same need to have someone else do security maintenance on it.

Pick your favourite programming language, load some files, do string.replace(), job done.

Distributed denial of service and sleep. Nice work.
The article is extremely poor.

For example, their evidence for why obesity should be rated higher is that obese people are more likely to be hospitalized for COVID.

Which says absolutely nothing about whether they are at greater risk of adverse outcomes once they have been hospitalized or whether the treatments work better for obese people.

They also try to appear clever by invoking “correlation is not causation” but I’m the absence of information about causation, correlation is what medical and health boards have to depend on.

Finally the ultimate giveaway about how this isn’t a “wokeness” or “progressive” issue at all is the list of states.

Missouri, Utah, Wisconsin are hardly “woke” or “liberal” states. Minnesota or Illinois come close, but are still deeply purple. And only NY is a true blue state.

So what’s the explanation for progressive wokeness infecting a whole spectrum of states, including decidedly non blue states like Utah and Missouri?

One of the revelations of the Snowden leaks is that many European partners joined the US programs to spy on their neighbors.

Denmark helped the US to spy on German politicians whilst the UK was hacking Belgian telcos…

Everyone is spying on everyone the question is always about their ability to collect information not their will.

There isn’t a single country on the planet that given a magic button to tap every phone of even their closest ally would not press it.
I would definitely add reading to the list as well.
> Is me offering workable alternatives counterproductive or unhelpful?

If it is done unprompted, then I would argue that it at least is an attempt to take over the conversation, and at worst it is saying that the person who has the problem brought it on themselves because they aren't using what you're using.

The following things are very different:

* stating that there is a problem

* stating that there is a problem and asking for help with it.

Confusing the second for the first is a terrible thing that a lot of people do these days, and intentional or not, it is destructive to constructive debate and discussion.
These stories certainly sound like Amazon is eager to usher the worst dystopian future from so many SciFi stories. I get that Jeff Bezos likes SciFi, but not all of them are examples to imitate.

> Yes, you edited your reply to be a lot less polite after you saw my reply to your reply, and I don’t think I did anything to provoke that. I might’ve responded differently if I had realized you were in attack mode.

Sorry. Point taken. I'm way too quick to annoy at the moment, and I retroactively edit too much. I probably should keep my comments relatively unchanged after making them.

> If people want to split hairs

This entire discussion is about splitting hairs. And the MO answer acknowledges that there's a contradiction somewhere, and only argues over where it is. See the last edit on the answer.
It doesn't, and that's a valid concern. But that has nothing to do with what I was talking about - banning automatic software updates. A manufacturer could just as easily make a terrible UI right from the start, no update required, and cause a crash that way.

What would help your concern out are safety standards. I have no idea what safety standards exist for car UIs, but I imagine some exist, and that updates have to comply with them.
If an institution cannot give sufficiently accurate facts to me, why wouldn't it be rational for me to try to figure out the truth (to my satisfaction)?

You may assume that "I" do not have sufficient education and training to interpret state-of-art publications, and/or assume that "I" would end up trusting dubious alternative theories, but you do not know. The "average" person may indeed be incapable of finding out the truth by themselves, but I'm really sick of "science-y" people giving blanket statements on what others should believe without actually checking whether they deserve the condescending remark in the first place.
Just for people who don’t know, it’s shows relevant data regarding the transaction: Sum, currency, target address.

Now, if you verify that data, you are safe… if the original address was correct. But as we are talking about a sophisticated targeted attack, where did you get the original address from? Because if it was your phone or your computer, we are back to step one, as that might already be manipulated.

The important difference is that equity provides actual legal rights. Tokens do not.

Before making an investment, always ask basic questions like "who are these people I'm giving my money to", "what jurisdiction are they in", and "what recourse do I have if they've lied to me"?
Saving Democracy from the Pandemic
I think there are more places where this applies:

> Sure they get bombarded with abuse and crackpots, but that should not mean ignoring absolutely everybody that approaches them with reason and civility; as so often happens.

I think it is a really hard problem. Figuring it if someone is arguing in good faith is hard. And engaging with someone arguing from bad faith is really draining. Besides the difficulty, people worry that engaging with some people will draw even more responses, many of them being in bad faith. Certainly only responding partially often leads to "yeah you are responding to them, but what about X".

I think in the end, wading through all the abuse is just so painful that many people decide to ignore input. And doing anything that might cause more abuse to flood in is reflexively avoided, since that abuse actually hurts.

Solving this is going to require specialization. Because being able to wade through the abuse is not something everyone can do. It will also require proper incentives to actually do this, because the people who can handle the abuse aren't going to do so out of charity.
The ones who are ignoring "the science" to push agendas are the ones currently without power and control, who wish they had it. Since they cannot earn it honestly through correctness, they try violence.
> Also, don't you feel the ship has kind of been slowly going down during the last 10 years, wealth-wise ?

Not for the rich, so the reasons are not that much to do with value-creation (it's value distribution that's rotten).
Their study isn't an attempt to answer the holistic question of whether vaccines are saving lives or ending them in aggregate, and they never claimed it was, so I don't see what's misleading about it. The claim dannyw is making is about the studies and discussion that isn't being published in Nature, or at all.

Your counter-claim is that this alternative question is what they should have been discussing, and if they had been, it'd be misleading to focus on the risk of myocarditis alone. Which is correct, but then they'd also have to take into account injuries and deaths from other non-myocarditis vaccine side effects, the costs of medical care not given due to the spending of resources on vaccines instead, QALYs and so on. But the sort of institutions that fund such research don't want to know about vaccine downsides, so don't fund any research into it, and moreover expend considerable effort to suppress whatever little research does get done.
Debugging using something like NPM bisection
Over the years I gradually got to be a fan of Tesla cars (virtually, never owned one), and then back to indifference. Design decisions are mind boggling, in no particular order:

- this update

- increasing amount of complaints about car quality
Not sure about others but in the '80s nobody waited for Zastava. All over the country foreign cars were "assembled" (Opel, Renault, Citroen, WV Golf...) so while Zastava priduced cheaper cars they weren't the only game in the town and they kinda produced enough to satisfy demand (actually I believe that they would prefered that demand for their cars was even larger). Not sure about 60's and 70's though.

He is unfortunately quite wrong, see below. I don't believe he could have reviewed the code in any depth because the bugs are both extremely serious and entirely objective - they're just ordinary C type programming errors, not issues with assumptions.
