I have an alternative. Maybe it’s not sensationalism, maybe it’s just that journalists do not know the future, and this could potentially become a significant health issue.

It originally had a higher rate of side effects than many other vaccines because it was a locally replicating live virus. This is why vaccinated people typically have scars because it would create a local infection and a lesion on the arm. In some rare cases this would go systemic and result in a full scale infection, so when it was locally eradicated the mass vaccination program ended in the US (1972).

Apparently the modern vaccine uses an attenuated virus so it’s less likely to cause issues. I assume that’s what is used if you elect to take it for travel in Switzerland.
That is plainly untrue. Tons of legal scholars think the logic is extremely sound. The shortcoming with Roe is that due to a combination of bad luck and not willing to be as ruthless as Republicans on supreme court appointments. The arguments are irrelevant this is about power and supreme court appointments not logic.

Broadly speaking:

1) Diseases are a growing issue, with increased human population and travel.

2) It's hard to predict which ones will become pandemics.

It's kind of like asking whether a game of Russian Roulette is a big deal or just a story to get hits. You don't know until you pull the trigger.
Yea but I don’t think anyone wants their bricks to rot
I think it's a big deal because viruses get clicks now in the age of covid. The articles often include graphic images to drive engagement. It's a hard to spread virus that currently appears to be concentrated in men engaging in homosexual intercourse. No one has died and they respond well to the existing smallpox vaccine. It's currently media driven and nothing to worry about. That could change but currently nothing to do.
Calling also works. Emails get delayed but phone calls are harder to ignore.
Not to mention most of the identified infections were sex-related, making it even less of an issue. Most people aren't promiscuous so it will be very difficult to spread far that way. There's other transmission routes of course but they seem to be much less potent.

FTA: "people are poring over the data right now and comparing it to "classic" monkeypox sequences to see if this a new variant, perhaps with enhanced transmissibility. So far there are no glaring signs of that, but this work is very much ongoing; it's just too early to draw any conclusions."
It'd be far more normal to read it as:

'I'm going to let my child make his own mistakes, despite my view that it's a stupid idea'
It can still go either way. It's likely enough that the global spread will end with identified cases in the low thousands though (people that are shedding virus tend to have readily identified symptoms).

> The federal government derives much of it's power over the states using a controversial interpretation of the commerce clause

Given that expansive interpretations of the commerce clause seems to be the status quo, doesn't that suggest that a federal abortion law is possible? It should be easy for lawyers and politicians to find some tortured meaning of interstate commerce that includes a woman getting an abortion in her own state. They seem to do this sort of thing all the time.

I am afraid that if you are optimizing for ads revenues this is exactly what you will get. Results with relevant ads at the top and results below that are not relevant at all.

For me the quality of result on Google have been constantly going down. I sometimes find that among the first 3 results there is nothing that answer what I am looking for.

I know for sure that around 2008 Google had humans evaluating both the quality of a website and how well it was satisfying the query. As far a as I know, they stopped doing that a while back. Maybe it's time to resume that practice?
That's complete BS. Swine flu was a full blown pandemic barely a decade a ago and HIV is still ongoing one.
I don't know how these names are assigned or created, but regardless when you have something like "Mad Cow Disease" instead of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy it's more likely to be covered and even sensationalized by mainstream media.

I think some scientists have recognized this, after such terms caused stigma and misplaced concern. "Crack baby" was one of them:

The term “crack baby” is an urban legend masquerading as a medical diagnosis. It is a label that stigmatizes, marginalizes and endangers children and their mothers who are desperately in need of care. Born from the combination of an ongoing crisis in urban health care and draconian zero-tolerance drug policies, the crack-baby myth thrives even though it has no basis in science.

Due to a combination of insufficient data and public fears that followed the crack cocaine epidemic of the mid-1980s, crack was alleged to be harmful to the cognitive and emotional development of children. Sensational news stories warned of the damage that crack would inflict on a generation of children and thus on society in general. A few scientists went beyond the data from incomplete research and contributed to the hype with inaccurate comments.

Smallpox was an issue, and since we can't really be sure it's eradicated it's still an issue and one of the very few potentially dangerous vaccines worth risking in the childhood, instead of many other risky, useless at best, normally only dangerous but economically interested from the criminals against humanity commonly known as "Big Pharma" and their "public" branches like WHO. So it MIGHT BE true and MIGHT BE a certain danger.

However since the n-th commercial pandemic declarations such aforementioned criminal institutions have ZERO credibility, so until their heads got arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment along with their subjects fellow politicians and private top investors NOTHING they say can be credible.

So my dear real* scientist you have a social duty: asking for IMMEDIATE incarceration of such criminals for the sake of Democracy and humanity in general. If you keep silent for profit and tranquility beside being held accountable in the not too near future in court for fairness with them you'll probably concur to a such big genocide that nazi crimes will be remembered as a small event in human history.

NO, I'm not joking.
Hi HN,

I’m sharing the beta of Hulse, which helps teams deploy open-source NLP models from the Hugging Face model hub with their unused personal computing power. I’m curious to hear your thoughts!

Hulse works by running “hosts” on personal computers (either through a macOS app built with py2app & rumps, or using the python CLI) and using the Hugging Face transformers library under the hood to load models from the model hub. Each user joins/creates a set of “clusters” which gives them access to the computing resources of other cluster members. When a user issues a query to process data for a given model, the query gets transferred to an available host belonging to a shared cluster for processing. Once results become available, they get forwarded back from the host to the user.

The relay server between users and hosts is currently implemented using Django channels, with a plugin called Django EventStream. It maintains an HTTP stream request open and enables server notifications without having to go through a p2p protocol.

I’d love to get your feedback and see if anyone has a use case/feature they’d like to see covered for future iterations. Let me know what you think!

Providing education isn't expensive; big campuses and teams of administrators are. Universities could easily return to the old ways, just cap annual loans at $20k per head. It would be painful, but they're fat, and what they're doing is bad for society.

> o far, in Ukraine, the signature land weapon hasn’t been a tank but an anti-tank missile: the Javelin. The signature air weapon hasn’t been an aircraft, but an anti-air missile: the Stinger.

The author (a veteran US Marine) is, obviously, well more versed in this than me, a computer programmer, but I'd say that he's wrong here. The signature weapon of the war right now is artillery, on both sides, that's why most recently it was artillery pieces that the US sent to Ukraine. Artillery has been a mainstay of the wars on the Ukrainian-Russian steppes ever since Napoleon.

What this war brought new to the table, a thing which might be the real revolutionary part of this war (at least when it comes to military doctrine), is the deadly artillery + cheap aerial drones combo, it has brought havoc to both sides. Those Russian convoys were not destroyed by javelines, but by targeted Ukrainian artillery strikes (with the help of said cheap drones).

Inside of the cities (Mariupol, mostly, from where most of the images have come when it comes to urban combat in this war) the tanks have still shown their worth, as in it was mostly with tanks (and, again, with artillery) that the Russians managed to destroy (and thus conquer) most of the city (they also used some aviation to drop bombs on Azovstal, but that was towards the end of the Mariupol battle). An interesting apparition was that of the BTR-82 [1]

yeah sorry. I'm not going to support a country that can't even talk about Taiwan "centralizing" its power.
Yes, I was aware of the tradeoffs up and down the line. And we should not fall prey to outcome bias. Given the massive unknowns of the virus early on and through the first full year of school, it seems to me we made the right choice. We've created many problems for many families and children, but we were avoiding a worst case scenario of a mountain of dead children. We know now that that was never going to be the case, but we didn't then.
Sorry, seems like you're either in over your head here or misunderstood what I said. Both deontology, utilitarianism and all other major schools of ethics* are justified a priori. This is common, introductory, knowledge in philosophy. Virtually nobody considers ethics an empirical science. That being said, descriptive and experimental ethics have made tiny inroads very recently.

They're going quite a few miles on bike alone. 30-60 min commutes are not uncommon. Kids, Adults, Seniors. Hot or cold, rain or shine.

The time culture is similar to Germany: you have to be punctual. This means you need to leave on time in order to arrive on time. As a general rule in real-world traffic: Speeding might not actually help you arrive all that much quicker, you just feel like you do. An objective instrument (such as a GPS) may well inform you otherwise.

Also, on a bike: if you're traveling longer distances, you need to pace yourself, lest you run out of steam half-way.

The infrastructure is good though, in municipal zones the cycle distance (and time!) can often be shorter than the car-distance; because bikes can take more short-cuts and are easier to park. And for longer distances it's possible to eg. park your bike at a station and continue by bus or train.

Why is that an odd remark? She’s not a fan, but she’s acknowledging her son has holdings, as he is his own person. Is she supposed to control what her (presumably adult) son spends his money on or invests in?

I think most coins are Ponzi schemes. I still have a very small investment in a few coins, because why not. I was dumb and didn’t get out when I had a 4x return, but it honestly isn’t enough money to matter to me in the slightest. I also think this is an area that should be regulated in some way (or at the very least, the large exchanges should be regulated), because too many people are going to lose too much money, but I don’t think crypto should be illegal or anything.

I just don’t see the problem with her acknowledging that she knows people who have holdings but also that she doesn’t see the real value basis and thinks it is a space that should be regulated.
Most of the time they just bribe the states. That's how the drinking age moving from 18 to 21 occurred. The federal government offered highway fund money (or threatened to remove it) if states increased the drinking age from 18 to 21.

This is the old gold bug argument, but really... is gold actually worth anything? You can't eat it. You can't cure a disease with it. You can't live in it. It's only really worth anything if you're making electronics or doing certain kinds of chemistry or materials. It only has value as 'money' because people have agreed that it does, just like any other monetary unit.

In a "prepper" type disaster scenario things like farm land, ammunition, antibiotics, or specialized survival skills would be worth far more than gold.

The reason money creation is valuable in fiat currencies is because those are circular economies: the person taking on debt is presumably producing something of value, and able to pay back the interest.

Crypto is not a circular economy. It's a speculative investment whose expected return is always negative.
The federal government can always withhold funding to states that don't implement their laws the way they want them too (which is how the federal drinking age is enforced... states that were to set it to less than 21 don't get funding for freeways/roads/etc)

Here is Milton Friedman discussing a politically charged topic with Bernie Sanders in a very civil manner. (though Bernie doesn't speak much)

Civility and decorum are what is missing today. And if it was taught in our schools today, and valued in society at large, maybe it we could still have debates like this.
Took a short walk and was thinking about this. This is my take on the matter.

The most fundamental difference between parallel and concurrent processing is that for the latter we need not have the same number of physical actors (threads) as the required logical actors [for meaningful/practical gains]. In other words, we can (and do, as in 'green threads') emulate the synchronized activity of nL logical actors with nR real physical actors, where 1 <= nR =< nL. Of course we can also emulate nL parallel activities with only 1 real actor but it is of no practical value.

So Amdahl's Law is very much about parallelism but it has absolutely nothing to do with 'concurrency'. [Whereas Queueing Theory is of relevance to analyzing concurrent algorithms.]

This is because in parallel algorithms, the concurrent actors are all doing the same thing (see SIMD), whereas in concurrent algorithms, the concurrent actors may be doing entirely different things (see typical GUI component of an OS).

This fact also informs why arrays and array processing languages are such good fits for parallel programming.

Then, it seems to me that parallel processing is orchestrated (deterministic) in nature, whereas concurrent processing is all about synchronized pseudo-chaos. [So parallelism is a simple, well ordered, type of concurrency. Think of it as symmetric and synchronized concurrency.]

Finally, the 'fuzzy' distinguishing matter is a sense of the degree of contention for mutating ops on registers. A concurrent algorithm is pretty much all about dealing with that: highly contended R/W registers.

p.s. so more examples of making this distinction: fork-join is about parallelism. green-threads/fibers are about concurrency. continuations are also about concurrency. Go is a language tuned for concurrency. Chapel is one tuned for parallelism.

p.s.s. things can be "embarrassingly parallel", but dealing effectively with concurrency is never something to be embarrassed about. /g

ETA: I made this comment before the author clarified they were being sarcastic.

I'd propose that if you made more of an effort to be empathetic with people who lack access to wealth and privilege, you'd understand better the criticisms of centralizing power and power structures in general.

"You don't understand because you can't see my perspective" goes any which way, and so is not an argument. If their are artifacts of your perspective that we need to form a full and coherent view - then share them with us. If you're just looking to be patronizing and dismissive because you only value a certain perspective - then please reconsider.
What is the “power” here? Does the power to declare things itself result in consequences?

Nb America has too many elected positions; most democracies have fewer (are more “centralized”) but also it’s easier to fire them if you don’t like them (here it’s difficult to impossible). For instance the best reason to elect both a mayor and supervisors of SF is if you want them to fight instead of getting things done, and indeed that’s what they do.
It's all advertising lingo. I have certainly seen machines that claim to be 'large format' when the largest they support is 11x17 (or A3). But others that support roll paper with widths > 24". HP sells a number of these under the designjet brand and calls them plotters.

While traditional plotters used pens (aka pen plotters), I think a more accurate definition might be something that uses a set of motors to move a printing toolhead (be it pen, ink jet, knife, laser, router or whatever) along a medium (paper, vinyl, wood, etc) in a continuous line in the x and/or y direction. Where a traditional printer only moves the paper through in one direction and realizes the image 'line by line' across the perpendicular dimension.

Owning several vintage plotters (mostly pen) and a couple of modern pen plotters (axidraw, custom built). I have no problem imagining the same general mechanism driving any toolhead.

The HP7580, HP7475a, AxiDraw, every laser cutter i've seen, shopbots, modern hp designjets, etc .. All plotters.
