Indeed something APL-like would make a good "assembler" kind of language for such an architecture!

APLs are much more data oriented and much less control-flow heavy. Also they don't use the notion of LOAD / STORE of mutable memory cells as a basic language feature (like all the imperative "C-like" languages, that therefore need a "C-Machine" to be executed efficiently).

So yes, APLs would be a good start to develop the machine language for such a machine that I have in mind. (Only that I have some more ideas about it, that go quite beyond that; like making "sending request to your environment / a 'machine'", which is synonymous to having effects, a language level thing).
The "kilo" prefix is a lowercase k.
If you fix that, it works perfectly: "3.3 kW * 3.1 miles per kWh"

Gives "10.23 kW mi / kWh" as you expected

I guess ideally you would want it to factor out the kW.
I think what they are saging is that something that kills perfectly, every time does not generate selective pressure. The virus would have to lose the signature completely randomly.

Whereas antibiotic resistance is something that could develop because antibiotics could be under doses so individuals survived partial exposure or perhaps they worked by a mechanisms which already had some resistance in the population.

It's like, you can breed high lung capacity mammals by having them live in water but you would just kill the species if you jumped straight into holding them underwater for 20 minutes.

Something has to be survivable to genetate selective pressure.
A bit offtopic, but in Russia, Stalin victims were not rehabilitated like they were in other countries. And lately in Russia, Stalin was getting framed as good maligned manager. Purges kinda just happened, as natural disasters happen, not that someone is responsible. Even years before this war, the Russian archives were closed to researchers and memoir organizations dedicated to communists crimes persecuted.

But here, I am referring to popular discussions where people really liked to ignore that Stalin was in alliance and that purges and such happened already before WWII. Claiming that WWII was real world example of clear good aliance vs clear bad. I mean, Germany was clear bad sure. And East and Russia were victim, absolutely. And also, German behavior in East was more brutal then their behavior in West - the colonization and quest for living space were different then quest for dominance.

Nevertheless, it the whole good vs bad framing here is kinda funny, cause one of good guys is Stalin.

> Which part of Europe? That's not how it works in the UK. You build up a record by using credit products and it benefits your score to keep them in good order.

Good point, Europe is not one entity. The UK is more aligned with the US legally (common law etc) than the rest of Europe. Especially now with Brexit.

In the Netherlands it's definitely something that works against you. Even something simple like a phone contract with subsisided hardware will lower the credit score.
> The prolifiration of libraries means that all your bosses and managers would extremely frown upon anyone handrolling a solution instead of using an existing library.

They are right, even if you do not agree. Handrolling is incredibly cost ineffective, yet another source of bugs and can be seen as a bad idea when it comes to security.

Huge third party libraries like LibOgg are maintained by gigantic industry players. Chances are, they are more knowledgeable in that specific domain than you are and they can focus more developer time on what is just a small part in your business application.
>I strongly disagree. A lot of critical work has been done with email + PGP, and that's about as leaky (in terms of metadata) as it gets. Obviously there are use cases where you do worry about this, but "storing data on the Internet" is not as such always a problem for those who need the highest security guarantees. Signal adopting alternative user identifiers would open it to use in some of these extreme cases, but would not (of course) make it usable in every situation - and that's okay.

I'm old school. If it's connected to the Internet, eventually it will be compromised.

Yes, strong encryption can (and does) make data compromise immensely more difficult in terms of time and resources (much longer than our star will exist -- about five billion years -- which isn't really that big a deal, since the Earth will be uninhabitable in a billion years or so), but once that centralized server(s) is compromised, all bets are off.

I don't disagree that strong encryption is a valuable tool for maintaining data privacy and integrity, but it absolutely does not reduce the risk to zero.

Bummer. I was aquainted with some folks in insect farming who tried to get novel food regulations moving years ago that for whatever reason gave up and fell back to insect based flours/protein powders and animal feed. Some of them had pretty interesting proposals integrating insect farming with recycling urban bio waste that then gets turned into animal feed which looked good on paper but I always wondered if that was recipe for disease. That said, crickets taste pretty good fried, but for some reason I don't like the idea of the meat I eat being fed on crickets.

The numbers here seem a bit iffy. While 12 patients underwent the full treatment course with a successful outcome, from the total enrolled in the trial less than 25% reached this state.

It would be interesting to see the reason for the drop-off in the other 39 patients, and for the trial to be replicated on a much wider scale; not to mention, if the method of treatment would be effective with other forms of cancer.

Also worth noting that this was used in conjunction with the standard treatment of chemoradiotherapy and surgery, so with such a small cohort, it's difficult to assess if the PD-1 antibody truly was the key factor in the treatment, or if the standard procedure would have had a successful outcome in each patient alone.
I have to say there is something slightly uncanny about a tweet chain that starts with a criticism of 'chokepoint capitalism' in the first person seamlessly transitioning into an ad for the book itself, stickers and pins with a broken link and weird marketing language that's clearly not coming from Doctorow, it's like that Metal Gear 2 ending when the Colonel starts to speak in gibberish

I remember Baudrillard being angry about his books being featured in the Matrix, because he thought the Matrix was the exact kind of movie that the Matrix itself would make. This is the kind of energy that Doctorow, Naomi Klein (No Logo) etc. have

I believe your quote is from the article posted here. I was talking about the paper, which I only read lightly.

Checking now the Results section of the paper, they do address how conservative the relevant genome site is, extracted below (emphases mine). TLDR: very but just short of completely conserved. Seems hopeful.

> Comparison of SP1-77 footprint to the mutations on the RBD of variants.

When the SP1-77 footprint was projected onto modeled RBDs from different SARS-CoV-2 variants (Fig. 5, A and B), it was evident that most mutations were located outside of the SP1-77 binding site, except for the Arg346Lys in the Mu and Omicron-BA.1.1 variants, and the Gly339Asp and Asn440Lys in all current Omicron sub-variants (50).

The modeled interfaces of SP1-77 bound to the Mu and Omicron RBDs, based on the SP1-77/G614 S complex, indicated that the conservative Arg346Lys mutation would preserve the interaction with HC CDR3 and would not have much impact on binding. Likewise, the Gly339Asp and Asn440Lys mutations were at the edge of the SP1-77 epitope with their side chains pointing away from the binding interface, explaining why Omicron variants were sensitive to SP1-77 neutralization (Fig. 5C).

While mutations near the Asn343-glycan in Omicron reconfigure the orientation such that the carbohydrate projects away from the protein surface (51), such mutations had minimal impact on binding and neutralization activity of SP1-77 (Fig. 5C).

Thus, these studies provided a structure-driven hypothesis for why SP1-77 potently and broadly neutralized all tested SARS-CoV-2 variants through Omicron BA.5.

Finally, we compared the SP1-77 footprint with the new mutations on the recently emerged BA.2.75 sub-variant. The N460K mutation in BA.2.75 was far from the SP1-77 footprint (Fig. 5, A and B); while the BA.2.75 G339H and G446S mutations were close to but did not overlap with SP1-77 footprint as described for BA.1.

These findings made us hopeful that SP1-77 also will bind and robustly neutralize BA.2.75.

There will always be some cultures that are different from the norm. 100% uniformity in human culture is very rare.

But look across the globe: I would posit that a large percentage of humans have a taboo against insect consumption.

If there are any counter examples that you can state from the world one must analyze how numerically large that community is within that country and the world.

In other words, don't count the number of cultures/communities that are OK with insect consumption, count the population of the cultures/communities that are OK with insect consumption.

> I've actually been quite successful in utilizing my Amex card across roughly two dozen countries in Europe and Asia, so this doesn't really match my experience. I haven't specifically tried to use it for a taxi in Paris, however. I do keep a Visa in my wallet in case I need it, but my bigger issue has been places that don't take cards at all, and having to carry cash. Cash only locations are basically nonexistent in the US - even the smallest hole in the wall type places and random food stalls in gas stations tend to allow for cards ever since Square became popular.

I've never used it in Asia, but for example the main Taxi companies like G7: https://www.g7.fr/en/paris-taxi-fares do accept credit cards but are very difficult about amex. When you wait at Charles de Gaulle airport there's some bouncer in the taxi queue who will ask specifically what card you have and if you have Amex then they have to haggle with the queue of waiting taxi drivers for one to accept it. And often when you do get to your destination the machine is suddenly 'broken'.

One of the taxi drivers told me that amex charges them a lot more than the others.

In Romania you'd be hard-pressed to find a taxi that accepts cards at all and if you show them an Amex they will laugh in your face (though taxi drivers aren't very nice people there generally speaking, two of my colleagues even got literally robbed).

The same with other minor expenses. Like rail tickets, food in a 7/11 style shop etc... The big hospitality outlets like upmarket restaurants and hotels do generally accept it. But my work requires me to pay all my travel expenses with amex and I get a lot of bitching from them if I don't. But especially in Eastern Europe I just don't get anywhere with it.
I don't understand the difference between in-ear monitors and hearing aids well enough to give a reasoned counter-argument to that.

However, Costco does sell hearing aids for 400-1000 USD while audiologists sell mostly comparable equipment for 3000-10000 USD. So there is definitely pricing power in the current setup.

Most people in the industry also expect lower price devices to come to the market when the bar to entry becomes lower and manufacturers can start experimenting with new size/form factor/battery/functionality combinations. For example Bose Hearphones were selling at 500 USD as a low-volume product without much competition.
That first upvote must have come from a good friend, because they certainly didn't click on your link. It goes to the landing page, and not to any article in particular.

The title refers to an interesting enough article, and its the first time I've seen this mentioned as a potential treatment for Long Covid. Here's a link to that article: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy-co...
When contactless payment was new in NL, it was possible to pay up to € 25 without PIN, which set of all sorts of alarm bells in my head. € 25 isn't much, but the idea that payments could be done without my PIN felt deeply wrong, so I disabled it. I only really started doing contactless payment when it was supported by the banking app on my phone, which always asks for PIN.

That said, PIN isn't terribly secure either; for a common 4-digit PIN, there are only 10,000 possibilities. Too many to test by hand, but trivial to automate if you have access to the algorithm. And for the first PIN cards, the data was on a trivially readable magnetic strip. So if you have the algorithm and the contents of that mag strip, it's trivial to just run through all possibilities. That algorithm was a closely guarded secret, but still, security by obscurity isn't great, so later they replaced the mag strip with a chip that doesn't spill its contents so easily.

So not all 2FA is a guarantee for good security.
Which will be great. The more countries that gets developed on labour driven export based manufacturing, the better. Before automation starts closing that window.

I shut mine down... crowdfunded a 2y runway (living on scraps) whilst I built a forum platform.

We were successful in that we hit all of the numbers we set ourselves and had 50k monthly active users at the end of 2y.

We were unsuccessful in that we hadn't pulled in enough revenue to survive early enough, and were reliant on raising a next funding round. That did not materialise in part because we hadn't understood what angels and investors were looking for given their interests, where they were in their fund, their portfolio. We were too late into our runway to learn that lesson.

The story is over here: https://medium.com/tech-london/the-journey-of-a-london-start...

But my tip for you would be to go harder on getting a "No" from investors... it prevents wasting your time on false promises.

Also... can you get revenue from those users? I could, but not enough to achieve growth which is what we needed to get the product to a place where it could financially sustain itself in a viable way. I could only get it to a modest lifestyle company that would be in decline instantly without the investment to take it further.

I set a hard deadline... we were all in and 100% committed... but when we hit the deadline, it wasn't sustainable, there was no more runway. We'd built something, it was successful by many criteria... but not financially self-reliant and so by the only success criteria that ensures the viability of the company it definitely failed.

I don't regret shutting it down, and I took a lot from the experience. The forums we launched still exist and are now up to 250k monthly active users, it runs on a shoestring entirely from donations.
I think the real lesson is you cannot depend on one single provider. Because even if today is really a friendly one, tomorrow it could become hostile.

Only if people reacted to it reliably and predictably, which generally at the moment they can't.

So they're being paid not just for not using this power at that moment, but being part of a system of "demand response" that lets the grid plan ahead and modulate demand.

They also do this with people's AC and various large industrial energy users.

Holyrood derives its power from Westminster and Westminster can remove it. The UK Parliament is still supreme, but it refrains from making laws in areas that are devolved to local Parliaments (the Sewell convention). It could overturn the Scotland Act that created the Scottish Parliament. In theory, Scotland could ignore Parliament, but that would be akin to unilaterally declaring independence, which is unlikely to go well.

The ECHR has no such powers over signatories.

I don't think taboos are in anyway useful in determining health implications. For example, are dogs or horses in any way materially worse than cows or sheep for people to eat? Why are the French happy to eat frogs and snails?

The reason I don't use bookmarks in browsers is that I can't stash a copy of the page for offline use and I need to properly categorize it for it to be usable later.

The best way I've found is to use the MarkDownload[1] extension for firefox, and download a markdown version of the page into my notable[2] folder. That way, a markdown version of the page I'm interested in becomes part of my notes, becomes taggable, searchable, gets synced, etc. And I don't need to spend time properly categorizing it. All the bookmarked sites and their content become fuzzy-searchable (fzf). Very convenient.
