For deer to infect humans directly, "you'd basically need to be a hunter," Cooper said. It's also possible that deer could pass the virus to humans through an intermediate host, such as a rodent or household pet.

I wouldn't expect to hear this from a researcher at Penn State, given the prevalence of deer farms in Pennsylvania (> 700).
As a general rule, if someone is complaining about "the left", they aren't a person who actually cares about accurate statistics. In the dopamine economy, it's all about coming up with seemingly witty hot takes that reaffirm the world view of a group of people who take pride in their lack of critical thinking.
Two words: precision and recall.

Accuracy is a very bad measure of any classifier performance (be it a machine learning algorithm, or a human expert) if the sets are not well-balanced. See https://people.inf.elte.hu/kiss/13dwhdm/roc.pdf for RoC.
Same. Also an American, and while I don't personally use it for some of the same reasons I try to avoid Facebook Messenger, I'm certainly not "triggered" by its success, whatever that means. It's at least nicer than close competitors like FB Messenger or Google Hangouts in my opinion.

Thanks for the reply. Context: there are so few exponential processes in nature, especially around classical physics that it really stuck out here, so I made the comment. I should have searched and read up on it instead, but thought there is still some value in others seeing the conversation.

I wouldn't discount Hanlon's razor.

There seems to be many people who simply fall for the marketing and think that kubernetes and hundreds of microservices are somehow necessary to run a small to medium sized web service. They can't comprehend how a technology stack with a 20 year track record could be even nearly as stable and reliable as a grab bag of 2 weeks old javascript microframeworks. It's absolutely inconceivable how something that performed well a decade ago on hardware that was a hundred times slower could keep up on modern servers.

In general, I think comments with jokes in them get a harder time, as the community doesn't want HN to go the same way as Reddit did, which is basically filled with low-effort jokes nowadays.

Ok fair enough, that is a vital addition you made.

What I have observed is the pattern of "she doesn't function" => "she needs to improve" => "she needs to let go".
If you do provide coaching to a motivated person, I believe success is the most likely outcome.

It is probably nitpicking on the "market" word, but...

About 1-2 weeks before the storm I ordered 10kW gas generator https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q1DLKBG for about $1350 (it is cheaper now because there is no storm coming :))

It uses about 0.9 gal/hour to produce 9.5kW (let's round to 10kW). This is real output as I powered the whole house with it, including 7.5kW electric HVAC heating element that are switched on when temperature falls below heat pumps' ability to pump heat from the outside (we do not have propane/natural gas.)

0.9 gal was probably like $2.5, meaning 1kW cost me just 25c vs regular price of about 11 cents when getting electricity from the grid.

Considering that people were paying $9/kW prices to the Griddy (https://www.vox.com/2021/2/20/22292926/texas-high-electric-b...) and the like, that $1,350 suddenly became a very attractive option. Except yes, you have to overbuild and not put efficiency at the top.

Furthermore, if electricity "market" was indeed a market, I would imagine there would be plenty of people ready to plug their generators to feed the grid. (i know it is not as straightforward of just plugging it into the grid and starting, but between $.25/kW and $9/kW I am sure solution could be found.)

Also, that "market" was forced to cap prices at $9/kW. The real market price was probably much-much higher.
Is one theory.
Laws and regulations have done more to enable morally and ethically questionable behavior, via regulatory capture, than anything good.

The point is that this behavior is a bad human problem, not a capitalism problem. And historically, capitalism has lead to a massive reduction in bad human behavior on an unprecedented scale, largely due to the economic and moral foundations upon which it is built. Bad human problems reappear in countries as they reduce their participation in capitalism and reduce private property rights (see this in real-time in China literally right now, Cuba, N Korea, etc). They also magically disappear when former non capitalist states adopt capitalist economic policies and extend private property rights (Estonia & other former socialist states, capitalist African states vs socialist ones, etc.)

Adam Smith and other prominent economic philosophers that examined and supported what is now the capitalist system didn't just sit down and say "Well people ought to be able to maximize profit". There's a whole lot of exposition on how (via private property) and why (because every individual has a moral and economic right to bodily autonomy and the results of its labor).

I kind of think what you said here actually proves my point. I didn't mean it's not adventurous or exciting, it's just that it becomes too familiar when you do it repetitively for the same reason under the same circumstances.
I've been doing occasional consulting work for the past 3 years for which I have to travel once or twice a month on most months. When I first started, every place I went to felt adventurous and unique. And now, if I'm traveling to someplace I've never visited even when I have to work on something I've never worked before, it just doesn't feel remotely unique or adventurous as it did before, especially in retrospect. I used to love talking to my friends what exciting things I've seen or people I've met, but now I don't think about it twice when I get home. My mind just kind of got used to it, it doesn't store it in the database with the unique or adventurous attributes set to true. Stuff just kind of goes in the "traveling for work" basket in the mind and gets all shuffled up, I've already forgot most names and faces of the people I've worked with as well and it hasn't even been that long. Sometimes I'll leave a meeting and 5 minutes later won't be able to remember someone's name.
But on the other hand, when I'm going somewhere and the circumstances have nothing to do with my work, even if I'm going somewhere I've already been before but the circumstances are different this time, both at that time and in retrospect it feels more unique and adventurous.
I think it's because when you do something repetitively, for the same reason and under similar circumstances, the associations in your mind kind of blend it all together.

Tons of companies have and are hireing people for little more than beeing able o download install and run the pytorch examples, and who have possibly managed to retrain an existing network architecture for a similar task on a similar dataset. They are absolutely the script kiddie equivalent of a data scientist.

A simple trick question to see if you are one: Given a dataset with significant sample imbalance, how should the optimization be adjusted to account for this?
What happened to the wealthy?

They used to keep these things amongst themselves rather than announce everything to the public.

They used to use hidden signals of wealth to show themselves to each other but not reveal themselves to the public —but now it’s a contest for crass popularity.

I guess Robin Leach opened the crack and Instagram et al opened the floodgates. It’s a bit pathetic.

What the hell happened to the “millionaire next door” types? Someone who had wealth but you’d never know it?

The traditional thing is you mix urine with wood ash. This returns all the nutrient salts to the soil, and nitrogen.

My one concern is sodium accumulation. There are some thermal approaches based on solubility curves that sort of work. I'd also be interested in electrochemical and, ideally, biological approaches (can we use biological cell membranes and ion pumps instead of manufactured ones?).

Weighing difficulty against impact, this seems under-researched.
To be clear, this wasn’t my project, I just posted what I remembered from the talk.
There is a finite amount of time to do stuff (per day, say) so it's a time-wise zero-sum: any time spent programming reduces time spent doing something else.

See lobotomies and brain damage. See eye and nerve damage. See people with syndromes or developmental disorders.

The experiencer is the sum of your body's processes. It's what it feels like to be your body. To be connected to all your parts. To have been raised and taught to react, to have instincts and decision making circuits based on these. It's a material thing. Vision is the sense of eye, thought is the speculative sense of sensing, etc.
I’m not sure the question makes sense. I think ADHD is a label for a collection of behaviors that differ from the norm.

My understanding is that the behaviors are real and actually do differ from typical behaviors, and that the general collection of behaviors are actually labeled ADHD. So in that sense it’s definitely real.

It seems like the question you really want to ask is what is the cause of those behaviors, and is it internal or external.

Government communications really should not be be on Twitter or Facebook. There should be a central site where different agencies can put their announcements. If you don’t have to do advertising and satisfy investors I don’t think such a thing would be very expensive to create and operate.
People don't present themselves as extreme. I think what happened is that a lot of people ran this "thought experiment" and it made a lot of sense to them.

edit: The New Republic was passed from a famous racist to a founder of facebook to a Democratic party bagman and banking heir. Characterizing it as an extreme left outlet is bizarre, because at times it wouldn't even count as center-left.

>I fixed my twitter feed by unfollowing anyone the first time something they did resulted in me being upset.

I'm not sure this is a good thing. I agree that you shouldn't be constantly hammering yourself with upsetting things but I don't think the polar opposite of avoiding anything you disagree with or get upset about it mentally healthy either. I think this could lead to you just being overly sensitive to anything that makes you a little emotional. Although, maybe you get enough "disagreement" in you regular life to balance it out.

The best option is to learn how to better deal with you emotions. For younger generations that aren't going to be able to avoid social media as well this might be the only option for them since that IS their entire social interaction in many cases. It's definitely harder though and the way social media berates you constantly maybe our minds aren't able to handle such a barrage.

Telegram doesn't support bots and most other advanced features for E2EE conversations either. It seems at least as valid (IMO) to speculate that WhatsApp's lack of API/bot support is due to an additional technical hurdle than its dominant market status.
Probably a lot, and while that's generally a useful question to ask about fusion research, in this case the point is not to create a sustainable fusion process but to validate specific pieces of technology, so it doesn't really matter here.
I doubt that'll happen. It'll probably take the same trajectory as (smart) TVs: these crappy designs become the industry norm and it becomes very difficult to find alternatives.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying... not doing these things is just groupthink in the opposite direction?

Edit 2: I do believe Twitter fosters the 'us vs them' mentality you mention; I tried to point out only the tip of the iceberg is visible publicly.

That's no longer (entirely) true. Chrome are re-adding MathML support (thanks to Igalia) and a significant degree of MathML support is already there.

Also a kiwi (although living in UK) I've used contactless since it was first available in NZ (ages ago) but when I returned late 2019 I found that contactless was no longer accepted at certain places, like liquor stores. Too many munters nicking cards to buy booze with I guess.

I can't wait to live in a 100% cashless society but I do think that the process should be refined (especially for phone payments).

Atm I tap and often have no idea if I'm really paying exactly what I should be. Credit card/debit numbers should only ever be temporary and for a given amount to a given merchant (like how my bank requires generating an OTP when adding a new payee). Confirmation that we are paying x merchant £y is definitely required.

Current system is really weak in that if someone has my credit/debit number they can arbitrarily charge me, in the UK if someone has my sort code + bank they can use that at a business to create a debit request and I get arbitrarily charged.
I'm a big proponent of the DOE's suggestion for a national strategic transformer reserve. They estimate $500mil (2017) would cover buying enough redundant transformers to resuscitate the power grid after a nationwide failure. Pre-covid, the typical lead time for a full scale transformer was ~2 years. I'm assuming it would take even longer now. I can't imagine how long it would take to replace our transformers if ~1/4 of the world also needed to do the same.

In my opinion, the reserve is cheap at 3x the price. $500mil is 7 F35 raptors, and we are buying ~130/year at this point. There are plenty of defense spending justifications for establishing the reserve - it would protect against EMPs and small targeted attacks. We are already seeing small arms attacks on high energy transformers, and last year someone tried to use a drone to take out a substation.

Not surprisingly, the biggest hurdles identified in the report were the needed land acquisitions and the logistics of transporting the large transformers.

Not really, yes some interpolation is done automatically, but most character animation, especially for high budget films like Pixar is hyper finely tuned to the frame level, manually adjusting the interpolation curves to get the most expressive animation.

And then you have films like Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse where they did a mix of 24fps and 12fps for a more punchy and cartoony effect. In the end it’s not about realism but emotion and artistic representation
Drying urine, transporting it, this is extremely energy intensive. There's a much simpler solution: composting toilets. Easy to setup, requires very little input (basically just some dry material like wood shavings (i.e. waste from wood processing that you can sometimes get for free) and you're done. The "humanure" mixed with the dry material goes in a compost bin, sits there for two years, then can be applied to the local garden without any problem. If you have a vegetable/fruit garden you're actually closing a loop - giving back to your garden a good chunk of what it gave your body.

The Twitter "firehose" (all public tweets, delivered in real-time) is likely very valuable for news, research, and marketing interests; charging for access to the firehose is possibly a workable business model, and by limiting it to public tweets, side-steps many of the issues around privacy and user tracking (since the people writing the tweets are doing so with informed consent, even if individual tweets may be sent in error).
You jest, but I have thought about this. If we all take fiber pills and probiotics will that reduce waste, and also toilet paper consumption?
