I was referring specifically to the medical part. an IV bag might have a half liter, but it's 500 "mil". ~28 grams in an ounce, which is unwieldy, even by american standards, and medicines are usually scant amounts of active ingredient, so milligrams is used.

Occasionally microgram is used, just as i have to occasionally measure things down to ~20 microns. I'd never use inches, there, and i'd never say "a kernel of corn weighs 1/250th of an ounce". This whole thread kinda caught me off guard. Normally i am making fun of the metric system, but something rubbed me the wrong way up-thread.

> Please don't try to conflate vaccination policy to the level of human rights.

What you just said is:

> Please don't try to conflate medical human rights to the level of human rights.

The fact you can't clearly see that is staggering. People have a right to decide whether or not they want a medical procedure. This is absolutely no different than forced sterilization during the eugenics movement. A group of people in power, absolutely sure of their correctness, are trying to force medical procedures on people.

I can't believe we haven't learned this lesson yet.
This seems like a long time ago, but that last sentence is blatantly illegal in my country and I dare say a lot of states.

I think Numba has some pain points. I have also encountered issues with multi-dimensional arrays.

The beauty of Julia is that relatively naive Ruby-like code is already quite quick. And if you implement inner loops in an imperative way, with an eye towards not generating excessive allocations, it can approach C++ speed while still being nice high-level code that is close to mathematics or business logic.

Besides, the other strong point of Julia is composability. The ecosystem is made up by lots of small libraries that can interact in ways the original designers did not expect or plan for. In contrast, Python has exceptional libraries, but they tend to be big monoliths.

The problem with Julia right now is that some libraries are not sufficiently mature. For example, there's no mature native replacement for XLA or PyTorch. I know about Flux, but it's nowhere close if you wanna create, say, a large transformer. Or say you are working with GLMs. GLM.jl is nowhere close to R.

Some other Julia libraries represent the state of the art, though. I just can't wait to get all foundations complete! It's a really promising space for probabilistic and differentiable programming.
If you think that increasing hospital capacity scales infinitely with the money spent then I think your model of the healthcare system is incorrect and as such the premise of your question is incorrect.

Likewise if you think that the healthcare system capacity was the only limiting factor with respect to COVID-19 public health measures that reduced transmission your model of the epidemiology of SARS-Cov-2 is incorrect.

"I said $40k per person was enough to build an ICU bed for everyone in Canada."

You didn't say that in the comment I replied to, maybe you said it elsewhere?

$40k per person in Canada is 37 million X 40,000 - that's 1.5 trillion CAD, right? Is my math correct on that? That's 2 years of the entire federal budget where did you get that number from?
No, I'd probably put them in the same category. This is why I suggested a filesystem output. Github is just popular and having something that could add it as a release to a repo would probably improve popularity of the project.

When I was younger, I worked for my cousin, a labour job, and he hired some of the local natives. One guy didn't show up after a few days, but his brother did. He was put to work. Then a few days later, a cousin. Now oddly, they each could have had a job, but nope.

So I asked my cousin how he handled it, and he said he hired the one guy, and the cheque would be made out to the first guy, income taxes filed in his name, and he could square up with his relatives, or not.

The SPIR-V OpenCL profile is suitable, the Vulkan one is much less suitable. (you can’t even transpile OpenCL C 1.2 to it fully, with quite heavily limited pointers…)

Metal has the best GPGPU story of the graphics APIs, with D3D12 coming second after that. Both at least can have OpenCL C transpiled without catches to them…

Microsoft is writing CLon12 on that front: https://github.com/microsoft/OpenCLOn12

Marketing.

The one thing I pushed off for as long as possible. Because it was always easier to build more, than it was to go into marketing / sales.

No clever tricks, or growth hacks. Me and my cofounders just connected with everyone we could on LinkedIn, twitter, discord, etc. and talked to people about the product: https://rysolv.com/.

In fact, part of the reason we delayed marketing was looking for some clever way to 10x, or make it go viral. A big motivator was Paul Graham's "do things that don't scale" post [1]. So we just sat down and talked to people.

A few accelerants:

1) Hired talented engineers in low cost of living areas in the US.

2) Started replacing myself by hiring multiple managers, which helped when I sold the business as it was no longer just about me.

3) Converted long-term clients to pre-paid retainer billing with helped create predictable workloads and revenue streams.

There were 485 murders in NYC in 2021. What is the difference between those and these ones, other than the murderer being homeless?

Some stats I pulled up:
- Minimum wage in NYC is $15/hr, coming out to ~$30k/yr pre-tax @ 40hrs/week and 50 weeks/year, or $22,752 yearly after tax.

- At 30% of income rule for rent, that comes out to $568/month for rent. At 80 hrs/week that's ~$1k

- "The Bronx neighborhood of Bedford Park has the lowest median rent in the city—$1,558 for a one bedroom"

In my opinion, the biggest error of Mozilla is not responding quickly to the computing trends.

Mozilla had a lot of great tech even in the early 2000s but it failed to realize how valuable they were.

Take XUL for example, what if they had expanded it to run on top of Linux directly? They could have become a player in OS market.

What if, after that, they expanded it to run on top of mobile phone when Android came out? They could have become a player in the smartphone market.

Number 3 player in browser, OS, and smartphone is not a bad thing. They surely would have been a much bigger company than what it is right now.

Following this too rigidly will also get you in trouble. As we've seen recently with tech enabling things like stalking and harassment which while pathological are harmful and widespread so do need to be accounted for by process. It's a good consideration but you're still stuck back where you started with your own judgement.

> But isn’t a large essence of quantum mechanics essentially a love fest between probability and physics?

Not really.

Quantum physics is about state being represented by a linear combination of vectors in a state space rather than a point in a state space. Additionally, it’s about how that state evolves over time. And finally about how observables are projections of the state onto some ortholinear basis (this is where the probability creeps in and no one really understands why).

I've been researching these things a bit here and there. Certainly having hosting and domain names and the infrastructure that does not have a history of shutting people down would be a good start.

So yeah godaddy and cloudflare would be out from the start.

ddos sucks - been there deal with that a time or two.

but yeah, if servers could be replicated in many places, and plans for multiple ways to move to a new domain name, or dns, or ip or whatever and such are already laid, and this info is already given to the users so they can move to new X when Y happens..

I really want to deploy a keybase-like blockchain kind of thing that is auto replicated - and if someone has an individual account blocked in country A then friends of that person would know that another account is already active via service/infrastructure B.

I dunno, it seems there are many pieces already out there that could make these things happen - and it's not going to be easy to get it setup at first, and some of the pieces would be blocked in various regions - but give the end users the tools to jump to E F or G... it can be done.

The internet is already going in this bifurcated (trifurcated / qua..) direction anyhow and I see no way to stop it, might as well replicate for it.

Is that still true as of Vulkan 1.3? We have buffer device address now, which I think counts as a real pointer.

> Metal has the best GPGPU story of the graphics APIs

I wish I could agree wholeheartedly with this. Yes, it's wonderful in many ways, but the lack of device-scope barriers means an entire class of advanced coordination patterns is unavailable.

Of course, you're talking about transpiling OpenCL C 1.2, which I consider incredibly primitive and limited compared to modern compute shaders: no subgroups, no device-scope barriers, no 16 bit float.

The health impacts of vaccinated, and unvaccinated, have been measured according to current models. And in current models, getting the disease does not offer as much protection as also getting the vaccine - and thus protecting the wider population is best done with a mandate. A minuscule number of individuals is posing a threat to the rest of the population. The freedoms of the individual end where society begins. One doesn't get to walk down the street threatening to punch everyone they meet, even if they never throw a punch.

I completely agree with the do nothing approach. I live in Spain and it feels like they've taken the opposite approach. All the systems are designed to catch the 0.01% of people who abuse the system which makes it impossible for the 99.99% of other people. This means people just don't do things because there's too much paperwork. The result is a non-functioning economy and massive unemployment.

Honestly fair. I had to cool off for a while and I will walk it back. First of all I don't know you and second of all I know that you do try hard from previous conversations that we've had.

While I do think a certain one or two users have gotten a pass before, honestly it was a couple of years ago at this point and probably not worth considering today.

I wouldn't say that I have a particular side here, but I do see one unfortunate (to me) point of view dominating all conversations and that's not even something that's localized to HN. People bring their tendencies to bully online and drown out and attack their peers (i mean, just look at this thread) and in professional life this is also very real and the consequences are nasty. You can't moderate everything at the end of the day though, so no fault to you.

What does worry me is that there seems to be a growing sentiment on this board (as in life) that doxxing of ordinary people is okay even though this is a crowd that not only should know better but needs to be held to a higher standard because of our access to and skill with such data. It's simply not challenged enough, but that's also not your job either.
