skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Overall a skim makes this seem like a good effort to me and potentially informative. However, I want people to understand a couple things:

1) This article is not an experiment and doesn't establish that COVID-19 is the causative agent here. They do a variety of statistical tricks to get a little closer to causality. I am particularly worried about this part:

"To adjust for the difference in baseline characteristics ... variables were selected based on prior knowledge1,7,24,25. The pre-defined covariates included age, race (White, Black and Other), sex, ADI, body mass index, smoking status (current, former and never) and healthcare use parameters, including the use number of outpatient and inpatient encounters and use of long-term care. We additionally specified..."

That's nice, but it involves a lot of experimenter degrees of freedom and doesn't control for the main thing that strikes me as relevant here: behavior. It's not like people were randomly selected to get COVID or not, they were getting COVID or not largely as a function of their behavior. People who are more risk-tolerant and / or less norm-compliant are going to have different health outcomes.

EDIT: point 2 is wrong, I misread the data
2) The effects aren't large. For individual cardio conditions, max 1% increase. Overall, max 5% (many of which aren't serious).

EDIT: begin the part I still believe again:
I'd like to see an analysis that looks at these outcomes merely on the basis of care setting. I.e., if you end up in the ICU for anything at all, how does your increased risk of $CARDIO_PROBLEM change relative to COVID specifically?

It's fun to talk anecdotes, but the data isn't ever as exciting as people would like to believe. I think it's very important to work against the hype machine because that's the only way we'll build real evidence-based progress.
No. The speech and protest was entirely legal. The overwhelming majority of people who protested on Jan 6. didn't invade the capitol building, and faced no legal repercussions. The ones that did get into trouble were the ones that broke into the Capitol building. Speech is legal, rioting is not.

Put it more bluntly: it's fine to hold up a sign saying "meat is murder" and protest. It's not okay to break into abattoirs and trash them. Speech is legal, breaking and entering is not.
This is outright ridiculous. I refuse to get into most "social" networks for this type of crap and now this practically confirms me I should never get into these crappy centralized IM networks.
> But people use Vue for ideological reasons

Some people might fall into the ideological argument, but objectively Vue apps tend to be faster and smaller than React apps.

See this comparison of real world apps from 2020 which was probably using Vue 2, but Vue 3 is even more efficient:

Not to the same extent, simply because the raison d'etre of the left is to (at the extreme end) eliminate those types of people in the first place.

Why isn't there a OANN of the left? Sure the MSM has a mainstream liberal bias, but there's hardly any Big Left (as in full on communist) media, at least in the English speaking world. There's a multitude of reasons, but I believe a big part of it is there simply isn't funding for that sort of thing.
From a software developer perspective: A github like service where every incremental research step is recorded&visible. A build management system like travis where each experiment is built and held accountable to unit tests. Something like github actions where you can trigger an automated lab trial instantly.
Somehow opensource SW development communities have so much they can teach to medical researchers in terms of how to scale development.

> I'm not joking or being cynical, this is how DoD acquisition works

What is that based on? Have you worked at DoD? Is there research supporting it?

DoD acquisition depends much more on civilians, not uniformed officers, and then they must be part of the President's budget and, ultimately, Congress. Officers play a minor role.
Apparently we both are
This is ambitious. It seems to be an attempt to cram a lot of information and functionality in a single page, which should be applauded. Right now there's lots of little gremlins in here:

Click the CAGED button and a piano keyboard appears. Click it again and a "go premium" prompt pops up.

Click "Custom" under Harmony and everything disappears, replaced by a create-your-own scale window with no way back.

Can't close the Popup Piano (what's it for? It doesn't make sound)

Try to "play along" so you can hear the notes just resets the scale to whatever note you click on.

More than a nit, I can't figure out what Chord Mode under Harmony is doing. There's no separation by position. So it's not much good for learning how to play any particular chord. It's showing every possibility at the same time, rather than what you'd actually play.

Fretboard orientation seems to revert to zero-on-the-right silently, very confusing as there's no reduction in fret spacing as you go up the neck.

The scale description (I guess?) section says "E major for Guitarundefined" then has the same copy text about the first mode of the church no matter what I select.

And now it's totally confused, I asked for E Major scale and the fretboard is locked to something that's no recognizable scale, while the piano keyboard is tracking the selection I make.

Overall I found usability to be a real challenge, with lots of unexpected behavior and "modal" aspects (in the UX sense) that confused me. I kept having to configure the UI to show me things I know easily to see how they were reflected on screen so I could understand what it was showing me with stuff I know less well, like some of the modes (musical sense) that I'm trying to internalize. Ultimately it isn't going to help me more than a good book in its current state, but I'll bookmark it and check back.

It's easy to make your claim when your perception of the guy is based solely on news articles and hit pieces.

If you’re going to do that in good faith remember then that this applies to any acquisition. How much of Nedella’s credit now gets to go to his predecessor? Or how about Google buying YouTube or Facebook buying WhatsApp.

Also to note an idea is great but you need execution. While PA Semi may be responsible for the existence of the M1, Apple and subsequently Tim Cook are responsible for getting it in people’s hands for a grand or so.
iCloud pricing is designed to inflict the most amount of pain. The free tier is useless because it will not even backup a single iPhone, not even the cheapest offers. The 50GB tier is useless because it will not even backup a single _full_ iPhone, much less one of the higher capacity ones, and even if you avoid backing up (which kind of defeats the purpose of iCloud in the first place), 50GB is still a ridiculous amount.

And so you are forced to move to the next iCloud tier ... which is expensive as hell compared to others.

> What sorts of shortcomings do you feel may be integral to a work? That can be removed?

> > If you had infinite time and budget to make a game, I believe it’s still entirely fair for you, as an artist, to choose the limitations that define your work. Or for your work to, in some way, be compromised! You're a flawed human being, making a flawed execution of a flawed creative vision. The word ‘flaw’ in itself, when applied to art, is not an inherent detriment. It is instead an acknowledgement that we are communicating to each other in the limited way that we can given our limited time and perspective in this universe, and that this is in fact what makes those words exceptional.

> > My point isn't that things should not be fun, but that so-called ‘shortcomings’ can be a critical part of making them fun, especially when intentionally chosen. With that context, it's been kind of jarring to play critical pieces of game canon for the first time and see imaginary Steam reviews pop up in my head. If Silent Hill 2 was released for the first time today, I’m fairly sure it would have negative Steam reviews for how foggy it was. Are those theoretical reviews correct? Yes. And are all of those theoretical reviews also wrong? Undoubtedly.

This is such a interesting take, particularly that first paragraph which alone probably made the article worth reading and sharing.
I thought I was going insane before reading your comment. This world is such a nightmare to live in.

Honestly, the idea that this guy even discovered something is just as ridiculous as the fact that the ruse had gone on for as long as it did. The only real story here is about the work that wasn’t done to begin with.

Google is baked into Android. All your saved passwords go if your account goes. Some of which may be unrecoverable if your email also goes.

Google assistant devices can't work with Alexa so that means buying a new device. All your "sign in with google" OAuth sites go.

It would be a major hassle to move away from Google, and I'm not even sure I'd even trust any other company to do all that anyway.

Google's business model is spying on you, so you can sortof trust they won't pull the major popular services as long as you play by the rules exactly. For an average person thay would seem to be the safest option. At least until recently, they've pulled more and more stuff lately.

> What do uber rich people do all day? Why do they work?

For the most part they are the "uber rich" precisely because they prioritize earning, saving, and investing much more than average individuals, who for the most part put in just enough effort to fund what they deem an acceptable lifestyle comparable to their peers. If you want to know what UBI would look like for the average person, don't look at the handful of exceptionally successful entrepreneurs—instead, look at lottery winners, ordinary people with ordinary priorities who are suddenly given enough money to guarantee them a basic (or more than basic) income for life. It doesn't usually end well.

> If you had infinite money, would you do nothing?

Not "nothing", no. But I probably wouldn't care much about whether the things I choose to do have any value to other people, since I don't need to worry about whether they'll pay me to do them. Therein lies the core economic problem with eliminating the need to work or otherwise offer something of value (like access to capital) to earn a living: People will do things, sure—but most of what they'll choose to do in the absence of meaningful economic incentives will be unproductive.

I keep trying to like Tidal, but Spotify beats it for me every time.

On a content front, Tidal has 76% of my Spotify liked tracks and 83% of tracks from liked playlists (stats from Soundiiz). That's a not insubstantial amount of music to lose access to.

That might be okay, except nobody comes close to Spotify's recommendations for me. I can count on the overwhelming majority of the "Daily Mix" or "Track Radio" content to be a good fit for me, and to have passable choice in musical moods. By comparison, Tidal gives me poor individual recommendations, and can't keep a consistent atmosphere during a playback session. I'm sure Tidal has great music that Spotify doesn't, but it's not showing that to me.

I like that Tidal has higher-quality playback, gives artists a bigger cut, and has better controls over banning tracks/artists, artist credits, etc. And Tidal's recommendations are pretty far ahead of most other services for me. But I just can't count on turning it on without constantly skipping songs.

Not exactly. We began as a 50/50 partnership. I had spent 3 years developing some CMs software, and, to create the partnership, I was donating the software, and he was putting up some money. As time went on, his money certainly gave him an advantage, regarding our long-term direction, but there was the sense that I had given up something important on the assumption that we were going to work hard to build a successful business. So there was a sense that his impulsiveness undercut our original understanding. The same is true of the investors who eventually put up about $2 million. They took small slices of the company on the understanding that my ex-business partner had already invested a lot of his own money, but then, that investor money was put up with the understanding that it would be transformed into a successful business, so, again, his emphasis on aesthetics rather than substance did disappoint the hopes of those investors.
My worry isn't so much that it's a coincidence, it's that stuff like that can be a function of basically any form of being _really sick_. Which would change around how one would think about the situation. Is it really COVID-19 that's the thing we want to point to here, or anything that could make you really sick (COVID included)? It really depends on what your goals are, but I think it's an important distinction.

Gawker was not a major corp at all, it was a tiny publication. I don't think they thought they would beat him via bankrupting him at all.

Thiel approached a ton of people who Gawker wrote about, and volunteered to fund suits until he found a winner. Thiel was not the rich hero, he was trying to a chip in the armor for a long time to seek revenge on a petty grudge.

Great post and thank you for going in-depth. What types of behavior were you thinking of when you typed "The behavior that personality tests claim to predict often have better correlation to non-personality traits, such as your brain dopamine levels, class, education or economic status..."? I'm just curious about what has been studied.
They were the press. They can be trashy tabloid, as opposed to a respected international publication, but they're still press. Gawker was also a series of publications, not just one (eg. Gizmodo the tech site, LifeHacker, etc).

Good one. Useful for data conversions.
Excellent point; agreed.
Do you think you think it might be worth getting assessed by medical professionals before getting too disappointed ?

I have a Garmin watch and it does some pretty weird thing. My heart rate is super high apparently sometimes, it can tell me it's 180 during warmup when I'm hardly breaking a sweat, then go back down to 100 out of nowhere.

Maybe my heart is not working properly but I tend to think it's the "smart watch" doing funny things. The chest HRM seems more accurate but definitely not perfect because it relies on sweat for good conductivity.
“ thiel isn't that talented or smart, but he did get hella lucky,”

To get and stay where he is you have to be pretty smart. Maybe not in the way you define it but most people wouldn’t be able to do what he did. This will get me in trouble but I think the same can be said about Trump. The way he pushed himself into the presidency against resistance from the media and the established parties was pretty phenomenal. You have to be very capable to pull that off and not many people would be able to do the same.

Being intelligent doesn’t mean that you do things people view as ethical.
No, the problem your parent is referring to is that you have the same username in every chat. Discord really suffers from this.
