The US is not known for their safety culture, they screw up just as readily as everyone else. They are very well known for minimising its own flaws an throwing a spotlight on its opponents mis-steps. The US inherited the fine British tradition of effective propaganda and do a very good job deploying it (comes with the territory for democracies, really).

Seriously, "they didn't do X..." for a country the size of the US over the length of years we're discussing is meaningless. Proving a negative like that is not practical even in casual conversation.
I agree with you. What I’m perplexed by is this implication that the US isn’t one of the handful of countries leading the charge on breaking down gender roles and norms. (In large part because the economic changes you speak of haven’t reached other countries. Gender roles driven by the physical demands of subsistence agriculture are still the reality of life for most people.) As if folks in Asia and Africa are sitting around reading Judith Butler.

Irrespective of whether the US administration wants to 'drum up fear', are you suggesting that China has a better ability to track orbiting objects than the likes of Norad (never mind the global mass of space enthusiasts adding-to and finessing datapoints)?

since monkey pox is transmissible through touch (and may even be airborne) it has risk of community spread irrespective of demographics. Connecting monkey pox with the gay community has already provided a false sense of security to non-gay people, who falsely believe themselves to be therefore not be at risk.

Hard to see how further connecting the virus to the gay community would help reduce this false security?

Just like most commenters here, I don’t think there’s a template to do this in a reliable fashion.

Besides some of the suggestions already presented, here are some additional elements I look for:

1) Do the references actually align to there claims they back up? Surprisingly, you can find a lot of reference fodder that is misused

2) Does the validation make sense or is it gamed? There are times the article method uses one model but slightly tweaks it during validation. Examples being dropping troublesome data or using a different classification scheme. Does the model actual compare to and improve on current state-of-the-art practice?

3) Do the authors offer their data up for review?

FWIW, I think you're actually being insufficiently pessimistic, and also the example effects I mentioned (publication bias and multiple hypotheses) exist in the zone where both are true -- the researchers observed something, and also the research claims are false.

Peer review is regularly completely inadequate. As an example, consider the amyloid hypothesis for Alzheimer's, which just this week was likely discovered to be actively fraudulent after nearly 20 years, thousands of papers, and thousands of scientists spending their entire research careers on it.

The <title> tag still says demo on the page, not sure if this is intentional.
So you’re saying there should be a difference between 1 day and 2 weeks, but the google story said otherwise, basically no one could tell.
Let me preface by stating that I'm no expert. I created the repo a few
years ago when I was self-studying gc. Then I realized the rabbit hole
was much deeper than I thought and retreated. The book I read is The
Garbage Collection Handbook. Quite expensive but definitely worth its
price.

Throughput-wise, it's hard to beat naive tracing gc. The algorithms
are just too simple and they don't "interfere" with "normal
operations" like ref counting does. Assuming the same allocation
pattern (i.e no cheating by stack allocating objects), a tracing gc
would likely (again, throughput-wise) beat manual memory management
too. The additional benefit tracing gives you is easy heap
compaction. Thus future pointer-chasing and memory allocations will be
more efficient. With ref counting, compaction is harder.

True, you could delay sweeping, but ime, marking time dominates so you
don't gain much. Even with a huge heap of several gigabytes, sweeping is
just a linear scan from lowest to highest address.

Quick fit is a memory allocator, see:
http://www.flounder.com/memory_allocation.htm Most gcs do not keep the
heap contiguous so you need it in a layer below the gc. Quick fit is
the algorithm almost everyone uses and it is very good for allocating
many small objects of fixed sizes (8, 16, 32, etc.). It could be
swapped out with malloc/free pairs instead, at the price of some
performance.

I have to disgree with naive tracing being advanced. My mark & sweep
implementation is only about 50 lines and that includes comments:
https://github.com/bjourne/c-examples/blob/master/libraries/...
A copying collector isn't much more complicated. Neither is beyond the
reach of most comp sci students. Yes, optimized multi-generational
tracing collectors supporting concurrent and resumable tracing makes
them very complicated. But the same is true of optimized ref counting
schemes. :)

Pony looks very interesting. It looks like it is supposed to have less
object churn than very dynamic languages like JavaScript which
probably makes ref counting very suitable for it.
How do you know what happens in practice? I have no idea who’s signing up for discounts. I’d speculate wildly that specific monetary discounts win over generic privacy concerns more often than not, but I have no idea.

But if we’re to have dangerous drivers pay more, without it being a voluntary opt-in system, then someone needs to be able to monitor all drivers, right? What information are you thinking of that isn’t considered private? You could have the cars reporting only speed & steering & accel/decel telemetry, but that might be easily hackable. Having GPS to compare against is much more trustworthy. What if primary components of safe driving are where and when you drive? Choice of roads and time of day may matter for some drivers as much as speed. Maybe the behavior in the proximity of other cars is a primary factor, I wonder how that could be reported - how often you pass, how much room and time you leave when changing lanes, how closely you follow, etc.

I wonder what it would really take to identify dangerous driving. The largest factors identified by the NHTSA are: drinking, speeding, being “distracted” (using a cell phone), and driving tired. Speeding might be the easiest, while monitoring for drinking and tired and cell phone use seem more invasive.
The side effects cannot be worse than the medicine. License plates and modern data collection practices are far worse than any of the purported benefits.

We already have dual fuel "flex" engines that run on gasoline, ethanol or any mixture of them.

However, ethanol is too expensive south of São Paulo, so it is hardly ever used.

If you insulted somebody with slurs, the HN community would flag you pretty quickly regardless of what day it is. I think a lot of people (some of whom are in the comments section here) purposefully pretend that there is no difference between that kind of moderation and things that more reasonably qualify as "censorship". They essentially want an excuse to express their negative emotions at other people, and look to the lofty ideals of "free speech" as a pretense to attack the mechanisms that prevent them from doing that.
Thanks for the new word I just learned.

The normal levels are closer then you think. The exact numbers differ depending on what lab you ask, but the normal male range of estradiol in the blood is around 15-55 pg/mL, while the normal healthy female level can vary from 70-500 pg/mL depending on the current stage of the menstrual cycle. Normally that doesn't matter though as most of estradiol's effects are overridden by an overwhelming amount of testosterone
Wayland is broken by design (https://dudemanguy.github.io/blog/posts/2022-06-10-wayland-x...).

I also read a thread in some of the Firefox bugs, that because of unfortunate design decisions, compositing in Firefox on Wayland will never be as efficient and performant as on Mac or Windows.

Hopefully developers will find solutions and workarounds, but
I don't think Wayland will be ready as replacement in the next 2-3 years.

> not every AMM technique works by producing garbage then collecting it

And the confusing thing is that garbage collection (GC) doesn’t collect garbage, while reference counting (RC) does.

GC doesn’t look at every object to decide whether it’s garbage (how would it determine nothing points at it?); it collects the live objects, then discards all the non-live objects as garbage.

RC determines an object has become garbage when its reference count goes to zero, and then collects it.

That difference also is one way GC can be better than RC: if there are L live objects and G garbage objects, GC has to visit L objects, and RC G. Even if GC spends more time per object visited than RC, it still can come out faster if L ≪ G.

That also means that GC gets faster if you give it more memory so that it runs with a smaller L/G ratio (the large difference in speed in modern memory cache hierarchies makes that not quite true, but I think it still holds, ballpark)
I'm late to reply here but I only now got around to setting Kvass up and testing it out.

I got it running on a free GCP Compute VM and linked it through to my PC so that the VM hosts the Kvass server and my PC (and in future laptop) set/get stuff on there.

I plan on using Kvass to pass things between my laptop and PC - links, files, images... etc. Will see how that goes - perhaps I don't end up using it at all.

If it seems useful I'll try hook my web domain in so that I have a more static domain to use it with.

Instead of yielding pure water vapor like evaporative humidifiers, ultrasonic humidifiers vaporize microscopic droplets of water, which can contain minerals and other contaminants. In areas with very hard water (Nevada, for instance) this means breathing in salts all day.
There is not definite answer. Reviewing a paper is difficult, been for people who do it a lot. I think I got better at when I was a part of research group and wrote papers myself, collaborated, and observed others writing papers: it is good to be remember that there is a substantial, arduous process of which the published paper is only the output. One difficulty is that it doesn't necessarily translate to different domains: the process can be quite different in different fields.

Several comments independently propose incrementation as coming before addition, multiplication.

One can only make sense of progressions like this by finding relationships between the levels. There are at least two ways to see a connection between addition and multiplication: The logarithm, and polynomials. Polynomials are well-studied expressions combining addition and multiplication.

Algebraic geometry studies sets defined by polynomial equations, as linear algebra studies sets defined by linear equations. Tropical geometry [1] is a version of algebraic geometry that replaces addition by minimization, and multiplication by addition.

Pure mathematicians like to hear music in their choices; they want these choices to arise naturally and support deep theories. Tropical geometry passes this test. One wants an inevitability to one's choices, a belief that alien life would reach the same conclusions.

If there are two answers to "what's zeroth? What's fourth?" that itself is interesting. However, one wants extensive evidence to believe that there's branching. Otherwise, we decide that we've simply stepped onto the wrong trail and need to backtrack. Pure mathematicians live in profound fear of just playing house, making stuff up because it sounds good, even if it looks to everyone else like that's what we do.

No.8 Inefficacy of Straight News

"A story that is a plain statement of facts presented without sensationalism, will, on average, receive 400-1,200 visits. This is a guaranteed financial loss for an ad-supported news website"

modern news is an objective reporting of events but information product, manufactured for an audience which prefers sensationalism and outrage. Since that audience is us, we cannot really complain about the decline in journalistic standards
