I don't think you understand statistics. A 1% absolute risk reduction is huge in this scenario.

An absolute risk reduction of 1% on something with let's say a 1.2% mortality rate takes away 83% of your risk.

If your unvaxed risk is 1/30,000, then your vaxed risk is 1/150,000 just because of that 1% absolute change.

What I said was that being vaxed drastically lowers your risk. You said "that's just not true" and you followed up by saying your risk was already low, and the only difference is 1% absolute. But the 1% absolute is enormous when you look at the fact that the absolute risk is only slightly over 1% for the general population to start with.

In contrast voices like Rogan are relaxing. I don't watch his show, but he probably deserves his listeners.

Traditionally Swedish electricity has been about equal parts nuclear and hydro. Nuclear usually running full out, with hydro used to regulate for daily and seasonal variation.

In recent years they have built a lot of wind, as of 2019 providing 12% of electricity, today almost certainly more. But yes, like you said, hydro is used as the backup for wind.

Since keyword arguments don't participate in multiple dispatch, they can't be used for compile-time specialization of methods based on their type. That can be a performance issue in specific scenarios, but I think they've taken that as a general rule and misapplied it here (as I mentioned in my sibling comment). For this scenario, that aspect of keyword arguments is most likely irrelevant.

People expect law enforcement to deal with everything, especially if it personally affects them.

The point is that property crime is still minor in comparison to how serious a crime is, for example homicide. It also means that resources will be less available as a result.
I've never read Current Affairs, don't know their politics, and this wasn't posted to upvote them. I just thought the author was spot on in his analysis of Rogan's interview style. I found the article because I was halfway through listening to the climate change interview and I googled "Joe Rogan climate denier".

[edit] But on reading that article, my only thought is that the writer would be a perfect interviewee on the Joe Rogan Experience. I can just picture Joe going, "wait, what? We invaded Guatemala? So we're the bad guys?"

>I feel like the trend towards minimalism in game design is a little misguided. When you're building a world for people to be immersed in little "unnecessary" features, or roadblocks, or redundancies in both setting and gameplay can make that world feel more real and engaging.

I think it depends, I for example hate "Extreme" realism, like for example in Kingdom Come: Deliverance picking flowers includes a lengthy animation, in Dragon Age Inquisition picking resources has the same flaw, first mods that appear attempt to speed the animation, or remove it... why do we need a grind simulator in this games, this would make sense in farming simulator maybe, as an option because it feels I am force to waste time doing repetitive things that are not enjoyable.
I'm not sure what you tested with, but it might "seem" that the original information is there?

Only the original color data remains, but the detail is gone and each pixel position behind the redacted area is randomised/mixed. This randomisation step also overwrites pixel information so there is data loss as well. Because it's then blurred it looks like the info is blurred only. But if you'd be able to reverse the blur you'd end up with pixel noise. I find it hard to believe that that noise could be reverted.
It is more limited in functionality. And there’s at least a couple different versions that I know of, depending on which version of the hardware you have. And both of those versions are dependent on core functionality provided by Chinese sources.

Absolute nonsense. You don't need a static site generator to serve up an HTML page instead of rendering with JS. People have been doing dynamic pages since before JS even existed.

Most of these sites are probably just using PHP, not any static site generator.

I'm pretty familiar with how the + operator used to work and why Google dropped it, having written about it at the time it happened (spoiler, I wasn't happy it was dropped): https://searchengineland.com/google-sunsets-search-operator-...

At the time, + was used to require that something be present. Quotes were used to require words appear in a particular order. You could do a search where you quoted a phrase, but that didn't necessarily require it to be present (as I recall). If you absolutely wanted the quoted phrase to be there, you had to quote and put a + in front of the quoted phrase. So yes, they were different things.

When + was eliminated, quotes took its place. Quoting a single word was the same as when you used to + a word -- find the exact word. Quoting a phrase still meant find the phrase, but that also meant it was required to find the phrase.

With +, then with quotes and with verbatim, it's about what you retrieve. Verbatim says get these words or words and only those words. Quoting says get these words and only those words (and only those words in a particular order, if you indicate that). Just like + used to mean get these words and only these words.

The ranking of results might vary when you quote versus verbatim, but what you're asking to be retrieved is the same to us.

Thanks for sharing. I have been working on vector search engines (IR) for a while (Aquila Network). And I believe works such as this as well as the "differential neural computers" (couple of them from Deepmind) will be the next breakthrough in IR. I can't see the direct path yet. We're eagerly waiting to see somewhat a usable architecture yet. I believe current vector indexes will eventually get modified into hierarchical random access memories that stores compressed information in higher dimensions (static & replicated part of the distributed system). On top of this, an application specific information decoder (that's the dynamic part of the system, UX) will use the underlying information accordingly.

You claimed that a company's publicly posted return policy is somehow irrelevant to a story about returns. You also claimed it's perfectly reasonable for somebody to order from a company "they had zero faith in," and then use that as justification to harass the company when they don't meet some arbitrary expectations, despite the company actually exceeding the standards set in the policy that the user agreed to when ordering.

What argument are you trying to make, exactly? Let me know, and I'll be happy to counter it. But as it stands, nobody got dragged over coals, nobody claimed anything as gospel, and yet you've made two outlandish claims that are completely illogical and definitely do not reflect any semblance of reality.

How do you support your employee’s mental health and wellbeing? With Gill Hasson
EU's consumer protection laws put the burden of proving that the customer didn't receive a faulty item on the seller. This is valid up to one year after purchase.

The seller must either fix or replace the item or reimburse the cost.

Afterwards, during the course of an additional year, it is the customer who must prove that any damage on the item was there to begin with, so that a faulty item can be shipped back to the seller.

This is a two year warranty which sellers must provide by law to the customer, regardless of any warranty terms the manufacturer attaches to its products.

Usually the seller will want you to contact the manufacturer and ship the item to them directly in order to not to get involved, but in this case the consumer is accepting to be bound by the warranty of the manufacturer. If this was not successful, he can still send it to the seller.

It is better to tell the seller that you won't be doing this, that you are going to use the seller's warranty, even if this may mean that the item will be gone for a longer amount of time because the seller may send it to the manufacturer first, to see if he can get the manufacturer to fix the item under the terms of his warranty, instead of directly replacing or reimbursing the cost of it.

For me, it depends on the meeting. For discussions with the same people I talk to every day, when none of us prefer camera, we typically don’t. In a 1:1, I do. In a meeting with another team, I do.

The focus is on work, not optics during conversations generally.

IMO, you can feel impostor syndrome at any decade of your career. You just have to be in the wrong job or at the wrong company.

Even if the job and company seem to be a perfect fit on paper, the reality can be very different.

Or, maybe there has been a change in management, and what was the perfect job at the perfect company has now put you into impostor syndrome.

There’s lots of ways to get to that point.

AVC: A Blistering Pace
A directory is not a folder Please
I wonder if speculative calculation on the clients could be used.

For example let's say we're at frame 999 and have 2 players and 10 deterministic NPCs. And each player has 4 possible moves 2 of which have results depending on a random number being <= X or > X.

So each client calculates the next possible frame states knowing its user input (so it only has max 2 options depending on the random generator) * possible inputs from the other player (2 + 2*2 = 6 options), so there's 12 possible game states for frame 1000 from this client POV.

NPCs are deterministic so they can react to the player moves in each branch.

The other client does the same but has different variables missing and different state tree (with small overlap that only depends on random generator).

Then both clients send their player inputs to the server and wait for the missing variables to choose which branch of the state tree they both go. Depending on the game we may not wait just show the most likely branch and if we mispredicted we switch to the right branch after we get missing data.

This state tree could be several levels deep if there's enough computing power, and it could also be used by AI to choose best moves assuming what player can do (but then it gets complicated).

Advantages:

- server needs much less computing power than clients

- server can still verify the state

- clients don't have information they shouldn't have

- network latency is mostly hidden

Disadvantages:

- more computing power needed on the clients

- can get impractical quickly with more possible moves on each turn
Yup, I'm not interested in marketplaces at this point, so B&H and Microcenter get the vast majority of my business (along with a local mom and pop electronics store). I even turned to bestbuy for some cables recently, I would've laughed myself out the door at that thought 8 years ago (I still generally avoid them but at this point I'd take them over newegg especially since they're usually willing to price match).
Note that banks usually require you to sign away all liability for anything placed in a safe deposit box, even if negligence or fraud on their part leads to the items being stolen or destroyed.

I think also people just instinctively feel bad turning down a child's request.

There's also that if you're 45 years old, people expect to see some accomplishments, and are skeptical if you don't have any, whereas there is no such bar for 12-year-olds other than perhaps curiosity and ambition.
A malicious "redacting" algorithm submitted to the underhanded C contest used a similar idea, just on lower level.

PNG allows ASCII numbers, so flipping all digits to 0 creates a pixel which is graphically "masked" but leaks information about the original pixel: "000" means the value was larger than 99.
Ask HN: Who would fund a pro-2A startup?
I have an idea for a digital product that I would use everyday, would spend thousands on every year, is addressing a very large, stale market with limited technology and inert competitors. Only catch is it revolves around the gun community. As I understand it, VCs cannot invest in these ideas. I’m building it as we speak but would like it to go faster and am exploring raising a round. But my only question is how? Everything I know from YC does not apply here. Any ideas?
Punctuation matters. I explained this in another response, and I should have mentioned it as part of my response here. But to repeat, these are typical reasons why it might seem that quoted search isn't matching when it is:

1) text appears in ALT text
2) text is not readily visible on a page (maybe in a menu bar or small text)
3) there's punctuation ("dog cat" will match "dog, cat"
4) page has changed after we've indexed it (so view the cached copy, if available)

In the [eggzackly this], you found matches of those words separated by punctuation -- which we interpret as a space, so the phrase is matched.

I wish we'd fix the situation with punctuation. I get that's confusing. But that's not a new change; quotes have operated that way for ages.

Oh I was on a project once where we decided to reduce scope. Dozens of distinct levels. The art team was well ahead of schedule, the software team way behind. So the Producer cut the scope by removing any levels that had unique art features. That really helped us.

I could write a book on game development project management anti-patterns. Unfortunately, there's too many warm bodies willing to sacrifice for there ever to be effective change. You can proselytize solutions to the problem all day long, but the truth of the matter is, the power structure doesn't want to change because the power structure believes it doesn't need to change.

There's also a large number of anti-patterns missing from the paper:

Lack of training (possibly falling under lack of knowledge)
Not invented here syndrome
Lack of adoption of new technology
Rushing to adopt immature technology
Early optimization
Over engineering
Under engineering
Lack of architecture (could fall under planning, but this is more fundamental)
Assumptions about how things will work
Lack of experienced team members, across all disciplines (lack of knowledge?)
Rework
"Good enough" or as I hear it "It compiles and runs doesn't it?"
Aiming for perfection
Lack of repeatability in all aspects of the process (inadequate tools?)
> They're functions applied to the function (or class) under them.

Now that’s wrong. Decorators don’t work on functions, just methods.

Which is ironic if you think about it, because if you program with functions you already have the tools you need to compose things, no need to invent some syntax sugar like this. For some reason object oriented programmers don’t seem to think like that. They want a special name and special syntax for everything.
I have a BSCS, and it hasn’t helped. Not over the more than three decades I’ve been in the field.

Dispatch based on marginal cost makes sense, as that ensures that the lowest marginal cost generators will be used to provide the demand.

But yes, increasing penetration of variable renewable energy like wind and solar will mean that the price will vary wildly. That means that players in the market will need to be hedged to insure them against too high/low prices.

Also it wouldn't surprise me if various capacity market type mechanisms were to become more popular and constitute a bigger share of the money flows in the electricity market as a whole.
