This can only help with the treatment of severe cases, which is not small success, but definitely not going to help get this pandemic over with! As far as I get it, you present the antigen and then it's up to your immune system to develop antibodies against it, and the antibodies from person A and from person B could B could be quite different, so, not sure, unless you get a shot of premade patented and expensive to produce antibodies, how this can help vaccine production.

Context: I do recruiting as a team lead.
I am happy you found what you were looking for. But from my pov, if you want to work less than fulltime and thats a non negotiable thing for you, please be open up front with the people who interview you. Typically when a full time position is offered, the workload of a full person is needed (lets not discuss if 8h of work a day results in better or more output than less hours, thats another topic). I was several times in the position where a candidate suddenly said, that he wants to work part time (at the last stage of the hiring process). By doing this he wasted not only mine but also his own time..
When talking about saving electricity it's always useful to add amount of energy saved and in best case, monetary equivalent. Because yes it saves energy, but also if you drive to work without shoes it saves gas too, because your car is lighter. But inconveniences this (no shoes) creates are obvious.
Arnold Schoenberg in Theory of Harmony said "There are no rules of music, only rules of style".
Seems that since Euler developed exponential functions (circa the enlightenment), exponential growth of knowledge and economies and exponential improvement in the human condition have become the standard expectation for the enlightened world, replacing the previous standard expectation of alternating good times and bad times. The optimists and the winners over the recent centuries have been able to make a good case that this change in thinking has not been completely discredited by experience. Does that mean that the good times are here to stay?

A reasonable attempt at an unbiased point of view on this issue would acknowledge some kind of selection effect -- one would expect that a few hundred years experience would appear particularly favorable to civilizations and cultures that you get after a few hundred years of that same experience, so maybe things are not objectively quite as good as they look to us.

A simple statistical estimate of how long the current era might be sustained can be made by coming up with a number for how long it has already been here, and considering ourselves as occurring at a uniformly random point in its total lifetime. That procedure produces ~90% certainty that things will continue as is for at least 1/20th as long as the era has been here but not more than 20 times as long. For example, if you put the start of the era of technological progress around 1620, this kind of know-nothing (about specific current conditions) estimate would put us 90% sure that it will last at least another 20 years, but not more than 8000 years. YMMV.
> Small businesses make a lot of financial mistakes: commingling business and personal funds, not reporting taxes, not paying taxes, breaking a variety of labor-related rules, etc.

Perhaps I wouldn't call those a "mistake" or attribute it solely to small businesses. Large corporations do exactly that - and easily getting away with it due to multitude of reasons.

I think the Karatsuba implementation is kind of missing the point of the whole exercise by just leaning on i128’s methods. It should really be defining a big num type or doing all the work on strings etc.

It’s also going to explode if I put in a number with several thousand digits as it is unwrap()ing everywhere

Hmm. Everything about this approach to work seems so stoic (?) except the reluctance to make friends at work. There are clearly reasons not to make friends at work. But those reasons are driven by the underlying goal of putting your career above your personal well-being and maintenance of close relationships - which seems contrary to your overall message.

I have made some of my best lifelong friends from old jobs, and wouldn't give up those relationships for anything. Really good people are worth keeping close in your life, and I don't buy the "million fish in the sea" argument.
Out of curiosity, what level of support did you have?

I'm referring to these

Not exclusive to GCP.

Backblaze has previously locked our account on a saturday.

They claim we were putting too much pressure on their cluster.

They could've locked the 1! token that was causing 90% of the load, but they locked the whole account which was used by 10 different apps for a veriety of purposes causing unecessary downtime in some production workloads.

Also the workload has been quite consistent for days/weeks, so they could've detected it earlier and/or address it in a better way.
I’m optimistic too, not always though. Atleast I know the source on my unhappiness. I just dislike working in a team. I’ve taken a few years off between jobs and those have been the happiest years of my life. I have plenty of hobbies and don’t really get bored anymore. Too bad that’s the one thing in our society you can’t not do.
I hope you’re not biased since you work for Tesla’s autopilot BU. Anyway I’m no expert and I’m open to learn something. With pseudo-LiDAR do you mean photogrammetry? Following your input I may say the best approach could be then to integrate both image and LiDAR technologies to create the most trustable 3d scan. Since LiDAR measures space and distance, it can correct the other photography sensors which could be prone to some errors. I understand the cost side of scale manufacturing but you cannot cut cost in this case, the risk of fatal injuries it’s too big. Also I feel Elon decided ‘dogmatically’ to avoid LiDARs and that’s why this is the only road you are considering…
that was my first question too.
Yeah that's the most surprising part. And the pricing uses the wrong symbol order for US pricing, not sure about other locations: 49$ instead of $49
Sorry, not really sorry.

It has been well documented that any of the big tech companies will thankfully flush you and all you've build down the drain whenever they feel like that. You'll also probably never be able to talk to someone (high enough up the ladder) to figure things out.

Nevertheless lots of people are building their tech and their lives based on the services provided by these companies, when a maliciously flagged YouTube comment for a linked account can kill _everything_ in seconds.

Stop building stuff on their platforms. Now.

edit: Yeah, probably not very "helpful" but how many of the "Google killed my X for no reason" posts will we have to see until either regulatory bodies step in (doesn't look like that) or people will just stop using those services. Yeah, it's cheap and it's easy to start with, but so are some drugs, too.
One fun thing worth noting is that apparently the Linux version of Shovel Knight broke. As a developer of that game, I looked through our source code and was unable to find any reliance on libdl.so.2 or DT_HASH. I am unsure where the breakage occurred, it's possible it's in one of our third party middleware libraries, but it is exhausting that it did happen.
One might suppose it's not organizationally transparent for good reason.
And you really think your use case is ordinary? That majority is using like you do? Because the alternative is majority walking with Swiss cheese of a MacBook without using even half the ports.
Just now got around to reading the replies.

I actually didn't intend to be tiresomely provocative, I think the other replies with lists of names are appropriate for the question posed.

I just wanted to post a sort memento to remind everybody that the names may be all worth looking into, but that we shouldn't take them as gurus.

We should always filter with our own minds.
I’ve helped build an EMS that got deployed to 3 countries. This was early in my career.

It’s been downhill from there, in terms of fulfillment and uphill in terms of money.

This makes me profoundly dislike my choices. I keep lying to myself that once I make a decent amount of money I will go back to lower wages and more fulfilling work.

Solar energy isn't free, it takes a lot of metals just to turn solar energy into electrical energy (including batteries for storage) and they don't last forever.

The page looks like a consumer product, but I'd want detailed docs or source code for any dev tool. Will it try to version changes to big binary files if I throw them in? Will it ignore some files? Permissions? What happens if the internet is down? How much disk space will it take? Like I cannot imagine trusting something this critical to a tool with no visibility and no docs, no guarantees. It could blow up my codebase one day and I'd be stuck with a discord to go to?

The question is not so much about polyphonic versus homophonic it’s about whether concert goers 300 years ago listened to Vivaldi after they listened to Bach and said “finally, a breath of fresh air!”

That is a contract, not a license. Or more accurately it's a contract with a copyright license embedded within its terms. This is an agreement with github to grant it an explicit license. Implied license is an implicit license. It may exist irrespective to any such agreements. Its implicit creation is an affirmative defense determined entirely by other factors and context.

The bar for this as a defense can be quite high, as it requires a clear intention to license the work as determined by a judge or jury.

Independent to the implied license doctrine there exists doctrine which governs mirroring, caching, and transferring of that content by 3rd parties and intermediaries. The combination of these is largely what makes sharing anything on the internet in lieu of licenses possible.

"user agreements" or "terms of use" are contracts that are essentially a redundant measure that gives parties like github much stronger protection, so that it doesn't have to rely upon any risky affirmative defense tactics that require meeting high legal thresholds.

This correlates with whatever I've seen over the years with various teachers, and then experiences with teachers outside my own case(teachers of nieces, nephews and other younger cousins). The most theme is Never outshine the master problems, the teacher's seem to be pissed that their students might win above them in life and went to actively hurt the students with whatever power they have.

Most successful teachers I've seen were also the opposite, finding their success by helping students win.

How do self-driving cars funnel money into public transport and and reclaim space? I think they're more likely to do the opposite.

Seems silly to rely on self-driving to reduce emissions when we don't know how to build self-driving cars yet, but we do know how to build better public transit and design walkable cities.
NAC should be taken with vitamin C in a 1:3 ratio as far as I recall to avoid the development of kidney stones. So, if you get 600mg of NAC, you need 1.8g of vitamin C, which is way too much. There was a study showing mitochondrial damage of viatmin doses higher than 500mg, so your max daily NAC intake should be 167mg, which is too little to do anything as NAC alone... Or maybe supplement with a kidney stone breaker such as Chanka Piedra. Supplements are such a messy business!
Before climate change was a thing, Malthus was making the same claims about society hitting a brick wall in the late 18th century. You then had scientists in the 19th century predicting the downfall of society because we would run out of places to store horse manure as more people could afford a horse. In the 20th century intellectuals predicted that the world would run out of food. When that didn’t work, scientists predicted the world would end in nuclear war, with rediculous props like the clock counting down to midnight. That didn’t happen, and there had to be a new boogeyman.

Even if we could push a button and solve climate change, I’m sure there would always be a reason why we need to stop having babies, turn back time, and live a subsistence lifestyle (Which is also incredibly racist, since it’s usually directed at people in developing economies, as their standard of living increases). And this is why I don’t believe most of the arguments against big houses, cars, air conditioning, are honest or being made in good faith.

For some reason this submission was stopped showing up anywhere on Hacker News a couple of hours after I published it. Perhaps because the link was broken for a little while this triggered some automatic moderation.
You wouldn't know, would you, with an attitude like that? Look at this thread. "The NHS is a national religion" is a cliché because it's true. There are loads of comments saying people are irrational about it. The country has too many people who melt down and viciously attack anyone who tells the truth - the NHS is a crap idea, always was and needs to be abolished. Go canvassing in the North with that idea and see what happens.
Industry/hard engineering companies here do tend to go Linux on their SWE machines, I've interacted with multiple SWEs from Volvo and Ericsson on some of my employers' projects (again, including pairing sessions) and none of them were Windows users. Mostly Linux and Mac.

Software companies do skew extremely into Mac territory, I really don't recall anyone ever using a Windows machine and very few run their ThinkPads with Linux, the vast majority have a Mac as a daily driver.
Try reaching out to their Developer Advocates on twitter & then maybe with any luck a 'person' can look into this.

When I first got a phone without a headphone jack, I bought one such dongle. It didn't work. My two subsequent phones have had headphone jacks, so I'm not going to worry about this problem again for a while, but at the time at least it was certainly not as simple as buying a dongle and knowing it would work.

> Quartz is not amorphous silica, and unlike amorphous silica, it's carcinogenic if you inhale it.

Crystalline silica is still silica.

> You don't get nanometer-sized structural changes in teflon by scraping it off your skillet with a spatula. You're being ridiculous.

The words of someone who has not spent time analyzing electron microscopy of fracture surfaces :) It absolutely does without any possible shred of doubt. But that's not even the point; the point is that the fine physical structure of compounds can matter in biological systems. If you accept this, that it is plainly obvious that chemical inertness of a compounds is an obviously insufficent condition for safety.

> I'm interested to hear what response you get from biologists when you propose to them that natural selection might be inoperative in the split-leaf philodendron. I imagine they'll wish they had a PTFE cord handy.

If you spend a lot of time around people with science PhDs, you will quickly learn that most of us are keenly aware of how little we actually know and how much of it is guessing. Murdering people over disagreements is the domain of religions, not science. Sadly for many these two are interchangable.
> MS Teams video and voice doesn't work at all in Firefox

Actually, I noticed voice started working last month. I could see the video but not send mine, but it might in the future.

Please don't force Teams on anybody though, this is unacceptable in 2022 for a company like Microsoft when its alternatives have been working in Firefox for years.

It didn't work at all in Chromium too, because apparently it relied on the Widevine DRM on Chrome (?!). That's nuts. That's bullshit. If you don't have it, it fails with an obscure error message like "Unable to join the conference" without any reason. Good luck guessing why.
Call it rules of style, then. There have been plenty of prescriptive rules of style, old Arnold got (in)famous for coming up with one.

I had zero interest in that sort of fake 3d (though I like IMAX & have a VR kit) but kind of hoped for it to bring actual 120 hz panels to the market. It didn't happen. They were all 60 hz input. Such a collosal waste.

Let's not forget nvidia also tried to capitalize on the whole scam with their 3d vision crap. Oh, was shown more than a few 30hz per eye demos by clueless promoters and tech enthusiasts.

At least it paved the way to high refresh monitors which are now mainstream but were frowned upon back in the day. Sometimes society catches up
It’s probably too big for one strong personality to get it back to the Don’t Be Evil days.

In analyzing political pieces (especially one so concerned with The Enlightenment), it's important to go deeper than content. What moved someone to put so much effort into this thought specifically? Nietzsche, critic of enlightenment, would ask: "which kind of will-to-power is expressed here?"

Steven Pinker is popular among accomplished people, and there's no conspiracy about this: rational optimism just gets that crowd going. Maybe it's because they don't have much better to worry about!

Reading this kind of writing is like eating a bag of candy. I eat one saccharine piece of "{X} good thing has grown by {Y}%", and then I grasp for the next morsel before I've finished chewing the first.
Also, as with GR, there’s an experimental observation that doesn’t fit with the simpler model. For GR, it was the Michelson-Morley experiment, which showed that the speed of light is constant, for this, it’s “the anomalous behaviour of its thermodynamic response functions upon cooling, the most famous being the density maximum at ambient pressure” (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-022-01698-6.pdf)

So, basically, there’s a reigning theory that correctly describes lot of observations but then, a loose end is discovered, and theorists try to find the simplest theory that fixes that loose end.

I think string theory is different. There are no observations that show the existence of loose ends, only a desire to have a quantum theory of gravity, or even a Grand Unified Theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Unified_Theory)

I once heard willow was used as an important component of the medieval land reclamation projects. The tree was good at sucking out and evaporating water, and grows quickly. It was used to turn overly wet land into usable farmland.

Maybe that same mechanism helps here? If it pulls out water, and the water is contaminated, the willow evaporates the water and keeps the contaminants.
