I'll be the one guy: Don't feel badly about your ability to enjoy an inexpensive bike. I've ridden both high-end and low-end bikes. The high-end bike is definitely a better experience over long distances. On the other hand, I actually prefer my cheap beater (a Retrospec, a little above department store quality but not that much) when exercising on shared use paths, because it keeps me a bit slower around joggers and such.

While there is definitely a difference, it really doesn't matter if you get where you're going and enjoy the trip.

You are assuming edible plants to have been readily available at high enough concentrations at the hunter gatherer stage of human evolution.

It is energetically more expensive to roam a large area to gather x calories than finding and killing an animal (herbivore) that did that for you - never mind the ability of the herbivore to release calories contained in leaves and grass (something humans cannot do)

Then in winter this ratio increases even more.

I don’t know if you’ve ever been to the African savannah, but early human evolution here was definitely not driven by the abundance of edible vegetation.
Are you sure it states that? Maybe you mean this paragraph:

"If this interpretation is true, what Björk et al. (2021) find is that information and signaling is far more important than the strictness of the lockdown. There may be other interpretations, but the point is that studies focusing on timing cannot differentiate between these interpretations. However, if lockdowns have a notable effect, we should see this effect regardless of the timing, and we should identify this effect more correctly by excluding studies that exclusively analyze timing."

"It's absurd to claim that lockdowns don't work when a country like Vietnam (100 million people, first detected cases of COVID-19 community spread outside China) had <100 total COVID-19 deaths in 2020"

Many countries claim an improbably low level of COVID death. That doesn't mean their numbers can be taken at face value, although poorer countries do seem to be less worse hit simply because they have far fewer weak, obese and elderly people to begin with.

It's certainly not absurd to claim lockdowns don't work. You're attempting to refute a meta-analysis of studies looking at all the data with the example of a single country. That's meaningless. A single data point can falsify a theory but it cannot prove a theory. To prove lockdowns work there has to be a consistent impact of the policy.
And you need some rule for what summing the elements means, where does it come from, I'm curious? If it's just a formal sum then the elements are incomparable between different spaces - and we can't say that one contains the other.

I think I must understand when you say "X + Y" is the sum of elements that you're not using a formal sum {x} + {y} of each element x, and y but you mean sort of like the union of elements in X and Y?
It's in the infobox in the right margin of the introduction to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution. Why they thought it was relevant to the conversation is anybody's guess, but I guess people who don't know anything about a thing are likely to have a lot of random opinions about it.

In my view, though, accusing others of dishonesty and hypocrisy because they disagree with one's random unfounded opinions is unacceptable. Last time I said that I got downvoted to -2 and flagged: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30118970
Uh, is this the same FDA that can't get the CDC committee to meet on the same day? That delayed COVID trials by waiting for more followup unnecessarily? That has taken just as long to approve each vaccine rather than going faster as they get more practice?

My 2014 Xterra has Bluetooth, but it's an old Bluetooth that works for calls and not music. I also had to get a dongle, since my phone lacks a headphone jack (another spectacular engineering decision).

You should get a better BT dongle though. Mine switches on when the power turns on.
> I think for the original poster complaining about not being able to switch was because of integration between the different tools which they find too useful to forego.

Ohh, that's a good point, something that i didn't consider in detail!

The closest that i've seen would be OnlyOffice integration (https://nextcloud.com/onlyoffice/) and the mail app (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/mail) for Nextcloud, but neither are as polished as living within either Google's or Microsoft's walled garden would be.

Edit: just to be clear, it's still really cool to see them pulling off something so usable with such limited resources, that speaks positively of how extensible their platform is.

In that regard, perhaps i'm just old fashioned, preferring to use my local file system as the intermediary, though the cloud oriented way of interfacing with software probably shouldn't be discounted either!

Don't you think there's also a discussion on the "change for the sake of change"? Was there anything wrong with the v10 design, and was it actually improved with v11?

My Samsung S21 just updated to Android 12 yesterday, and with it a new One UI is on my phone. There's no striking difference here, but the size of items in the curtain have been made smaller, and the brightness slider is different. I have no clue why those things changed. The curtain seem to change every two generations at most, usually just changing spacing and size of the items. It's annoying at best, and the only positive thing is that feeling of "something new", which wanes fast.

Why would companies spend budget on this kind of pseudo improvement is beyond me.

Not to disparage the nice awk script, but reading from /sys/class/hwmon/* seems more sensible...

Issue is that people will skew the numbers reported upstream. This way they can affect what their 'fair share' would be. This tends to devolve into everyone mis-reporting numbers in the same direction, causing the reported numbers to be useless upstream.
If the borrower and the lender sign a loan agreement with an intermediary, or among themselves, then sure, but this is conventional finance, not decentralised finance. In this situation the dumb contract becomes redundant. It doesn't do anything.
No, the idea is that they are all vectors in the same all-encompassing vector space. You can always sum them. What's missing on the formula is that all of these vector spaces are subspaces of the same larger one. That's implicit, otherwise the sum wouldn't make sense. Think that you are playing inside R^n and juggling a few lower-dimensional subspaces of it.

Several things that really truck me with this comment:

> consensus science from 50+ years of research and medical practice [...] being questioned

This is precisely what scientists should have been doing! I'm afraid having your work done for you by unqualified amateurs is a kind of punishment for skimping on it for too long.

> a background of "Ultimate Fighting Championship color commentator, comedian, actor, and former television presenter"

This is essentially a class-ist argument: Someone who tells dirty jokes on netflix couldn't possibly, by the essence of their being, decide for themselves which scientist to talk to. What's particularly striking is that this comes after the author seemingly accepts the parent's premise that academia is borken. What I'm hearing is "Yeah, we haven't earned your trust, but at least we're not those people". This is not a winning argument, and certainly not a scientific one.

> We're in a world were people think that Bill Gates is inserting microchips into people and that Covid is a hoax by the world government and no one has died

This too seems heavily influnced by class. When people believe "Bill Gates is inserting microchips" they are factually wrong but tentatively right. They are powerless in politics, while oligarchs, including foreign ones, have outsized influence. Wild conspiracies are how these feelings find expression in those that have no other way of doing so. By taking everything literal ("no, Bill Gates is not literally inserting microchips"), their enemies can avoid dealing with the issues a more charitable interpretation would be getting at.

> don't loose faith in science

To the extent that science is used as the underwriter of various political projects, I think people are perfectly fine losing faith in it. 5 decades of "belief" in science hasn't done much good, so what's the point? On the other hand, I'm not worried that people will stop using material science... By and large mistrust is very well placed.
Go applications can be built into static self-contained binaries, which don't need extra dependencies. These binaries can run inside `scratch` Docker container, which doesn't take additional space. So it is easy to create small Docker images (less than 10Mb) with such binaries. See, for example, the following article - https://valyala.medium.com/stripping-dependency-bloat-in-vic...
I think so too. I had to roll my own (which was half the fun) and slowly add new features as I go.

> The current climate we're in means that consensus science from 50+ years of research and medical practice around the world is being questioned.

(A) In some aspects, 50+ years of accepted medical science was wrong. "Droplet dogma" [1,2] was wrong. Now we know that respiratory viruses spread by airborne aerosols [3].

The epistemological tradition of modern medical science seems to be almost solely based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs). They think everything should be studied and verified the same way that new drugs are studied. We use a lot of physical safety measures, like seat belts and airbags in cars, hard hats in construction sites, etc. because they make physical sense, and their protective properties have been measured in engineering laboratory studies. Like using crash test dummies when crash testing cars. Engineering and physical sciences have methods to achieve and test knowledge, that are not an RCT with real people.

Now the topical topic is face masks. Engineers know respirator masks can filter over 95% of fine particles, but a sizeable part of the medical science still doesn't believe in face masks, due to lack of decisive studies using an RCT-based setup.

(B) But then we also have a surprisingly strong anti-vaccine movement. In this case, the consensus of medical science is correct, and vaccines work.

So we have A, where medical science was wrong and a bit stubborn to correct itself. Science as whole was not wrong: Engineers and physicists worked out the details of aerosol spread of the virus and the filtering properties of face masks. And then we have B, a genuine anti-science movement.

But what to do? If we didn't question the established dogma as used by the authorities, then we would still believe in the droplet dogma, and we would still think face masks are useless. But if we allow the questioning of the established dogma when the dogma is indeed wrong, the how can the general public know when the old dogmas are questioned for good scientific reasons (A), and when not (B)?

Maybe that's the subject for the next blog post, but I think the main reason cancellation causes more troubles than ordinary IO problems, is that with ordinary errors you assume that the resource that suffered the errors is down and don't care about its precise state, while with cancellation the resource is perfectly OK and you want to continue using it.
I think the first _and_only_ day many people learn about open and closed sets is when they learn about the specific example of open and closed intervals in ℝ. That happens early in high school.

The misconception is about not knowing that the generalization to arbitrary sets has some unexpected properties.

I apologize. It seems that you entered your comment right where the other comment was moments before. I saw your comment already grayed due to downvotes and since the previous comment gained some downvotes, I wrongly assumed that it was edited.

It is convenient to posit, or "define" a (unique) point at infinity which is the inverse of 0. That way, a lot of propositions work out without extra special cases. It was misleading of the author to just say "pretend infinity is a real number".

> Earnest misinformation cannot be an exception to freedom of speech

I agree with this. It is a matter for the audience to decide what speech they will listen to, and how they will evaluate it. It is cause for regret thaat so many people lack the means to evaluate the utterances of crackpots. But you can't start to evaluate it if you haven't heard it; there are "forbidden views" that you won't hear on MSM or the big internet platforms.

I'm not a free-speech maximalist. Incitement to hatred or violence is forbidden here, and I'm cool with that. Lying, fakery and distortion are permitted (provided it's not in furtherance of selling stuff), and I'm OK with that too.

I'm not OK with a whole swath of views being suppressed without any process.

That's not what's happening with Young and Rogan. Rogan has been paid by Spotify for his podcast; if they decide to shut him down, well he has other platforms. And he gets to keep the money. There's no chance he'll be silenced.

I'm not OK with the way the word "censorship" is being bandied around here. Once upon a time, when email blocklists started to become popular, spammers accused MSPs of censorship, which was ludicrous. Nobody has a right to use the private property of others to exercise their free speech. You can say what you like, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone, and I don't have to stand next to you on the platform while you say it.
I remember trying to set-up a kubernetes cluster on a weekend for similar use case and I also didn't have much background in k8s, although bit more than OP. I had used it before, created deployments, set-up secrets etc. But when I tried to set it up at my new work place, I failed.

In our use case, we didn't have to account of unknown number of users. We had an airflow instance which needed to run jobs in parallel and I didn't have much idea about celery either. Finally I created a docker swarm cluster which was much easier to set-up and fulfilled our requirements.
>And your comment is just antisemitic.

It's dangerous tossing that term around. There is enough real antisemitism in the world, and it's a real problem, we don't need to make-pretend extra. Critisism of the state of Israel does not equate antisemitism.
The point is - BioNTech could not have brought it to market.

Having a promising vaccine is about 5% of the work and cost to get it into people.

And to say getting a brand new vaccine scaled up and approved in record time is “not something new” tells me you aren’t that close to the process.

There were a million ways the process could have failed (see J&J, AZ screw ups).

Pfizer pulled it off almost flawlessly. That’s never been done before.

Trying to be maximally precise, the prime G isn’t really constructed, but it must exist because ABC+1 must have a prime factorization by the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. And the contraction is that G can’t be any of {A, B, C}.

Edit: The above added a nit-picky side-point to your original response, which was a lot shorter. Afterwards, you edited your reply to be a lot more exhaustive and a lot less... friendly?

Typical day is actually mostly working to go around corporate "security" limitations that restrict everybody to not being able to do much for fear they will do harm.

The last few days:

- we have a commercial ssh bastion that requires direct ssh login and then input ip address. So no dns available for sshing. I wrote a bash autocomplete script that resolves dns host entries and uses expect to automatically input the ip in the bastion. This is especially important to be able to run ansible.

- our gitlab has it's ssh filtered because "security". So you can only use a security token over http. This prevents us from being able to use git submodukes, as the token would be in ckear commited to the parent rep. So I wrote a make file to compose the project, basically a poor man git submodules.

You might find all the above trivial, and it is. But it keeps the work flowing and devips more junior than I have no clue about make files, expect, etc.
Joe Rogan doesn't spread anything. He interviews experts in the field and listens to what they have to say. Currently everyone is angry because he interviewed Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA vaccines. You can read about Robert Malone's contributions here:

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02483-w

Robert Malone's bio

"Dr. Robert Malone is the inventor of the nine original mRNA vaccine patents, which were originally filed in 1989 (including both the idea of mRNA vaccines and the original proof of principle experiments) and RNA transfection. Dr. Malone, has close to 100 peer-reviewed publications which have been cited over 12,000 times. Since January 2020, Dr. Malone has been leading a large team focused on clinical research design, drug development, computer modeling and mechanisms of action of repurposed drugs for the treatment of COVID-19. Dr. Malone is the Medical Director of The Unity Project, a group of 300 organizations across the US standing against mandated COVID vaccines for children. He is also the President of the Global Covid Summit, an organization of over 16,000 doctors and scientists committed to speaking truth to power about COVID pandemic research and treatment."

Do you really think it is unreasonable to listen to what someone with this kind of a background has to say about mRNA vaccines?
One of the most annoying things about computers to me is that they require constant maintenance. I don't want to do maintenance anymore; I want a mechanic to do it for me. I have built my own bed, desk, shelves, serving trays, fixed my own cars, plumbing, electric, screens, hinges, walls, drawers, tended my own garden, and wrote my own software. The garden is the only thing I still enjoy maintaining. So I use a SSG. They fix bugs and add features and patch security holes and do releases, and I just download and run it.

Incidentally, I really would like some kind of free offline WYSIWYG html editor for the body of pages, if anyone has a suggestion? I've looked but all the simple ones seem to require JavaScript knowledge? I just want to make content :(

Race-Based Rationing Is Real–and Dangerous
G's existence is proved in a way which is valid in constructive foundations. It is therefore constructed.

And this construction can be carried out algorithmically: Just find the prime factors of ABC+1.

Obviously, this is not computationally efficient, but constructive logic doesn't care. Constructive logic only cares that a construction can be carried out, and that its worst case time complexity has some explicit bound. The existence of this bound for finding larger primes implies a weak bound on the density of the primes.

Also, I made some edits to my original comment.
