> thought numbers were being artificially inflated was that they were counting people who died while having tested positive for covid being attributed to covid

This objectively happened. Anyone who was COVID positive was being counted as a COVID death. It happened to my friend's dad- COVID was listed as the cause of death on his death certificate, v even though it was nothing to do with any illness at all, but rather an accident.

This practice varied by state and tracking eventually broke out death with COVID vs death by COVID.
Regarding pentadactyl, I'm using tridactyl on Firefox and essentially for all my use cases it behaves the same as pentadactyl. I realise that some of the advanced functionality of pentadactyl is not available (IIRC pentadactyl allowed you to essentially reprogram the browser), but I have to say I'm not really missing much.
Thanks, I think I'll give up on my desire to have side gigs now.

Intel have been doing two generations of support for absolutely ages. AMD doing four generations on AM4 was the outlier rather than the norm, and it sounds like they are giving themselves wiggle room this time to do similarly, but potentially cut it a bit shorter if they feel they need to. Given how many reviews talked about AM4 chips being a no-brainer upgrade choice if you had an existing board, they have incentive to do it. AM4 being on DDR4 and older motherboards being PCIe 3 really limited it. Given DDR5 is new and PCIe 5 is brand new, it feels like AM5 has plenty of potential to go longer, but I can understand not wanting to tie themselves too far ahead.

I think it's more a matter of target: Intel probably care most about the pre-built market where people just buy a new computer, so there isn't much value. AMD focused on taking the enthusiast crowd and getting the mindshare that way, and long socket support definitely benefited them there.
Got me good! That'll teach me not to click links.

You say trend like it is a recent phenomenon and not something that has been happening for centuries if not millennia.
Does anyone know what is Edge's take on MV3? Will they just leave it untouched and obey or do they have alternative paths planned for adblockling like Brave (In addition to the native blocker, Brendan Eich also said that they will "put back the lost functionality for uBO, uMatrix and other legit extensions" [1]).

I have a feeling that Edge will become mainstream in the near future because it is the default browser on Windows (getting IE monopolistic vibes again!) and people is using and even loving it. I think both Edge and Chrome will decide the future for the web. Firefox and Brave, unfortunately, are not mainstream enough to make their decisions count.

I don't think I was asked despite having a German IP and phone number
It’s not and everyone knows it, including those arguing against it.
The really painful thing is, Germany still has a right problem. They can be found everywhere, including in police, military, political system, media etc. Multiple scandals offer evidence, but the daily life also shows stuff not covered by this.
But this situation and widespread knowledge of this is also used in order to intimidate the others, that are not on the right at all. And this is not only a reality in Germany, unfortunately.
yes, but you need to or you SHOULD have MVP to sell just to not get into position where you sold something that isnt there :)

There's no such thing. There are already detailed comments in this thread about this mixup.
I disagree. The majority is never informed enough to make a good decision on something as nuanced as censorship. At least a dictatorship could, theoretically, be benevolent and act on the advice of experts.
That's 0.5% fatality rate, not infection fatality rate. Likely "everyone" in the town didn't actually get it-- it may have been an overwhelming majority but probably some people lucked out.

uBlock Origin is the only browser extension I use on Firefox, Even after loosing trust on browser extensions in general after witnessing a recommended Firefox add-on indulge in malicious activity[1] and reading numerous stories of how browser extension publishers with large number of users are routinely approached to integrate malware.

The reason why I cannot do away with uBlock Origin is because its not just an Ad-blocker as its philosophy states, I need it to make websites usable by blocking elements like auto pop-up news video player, Blocking side bars to resize the websites to preferred width (When playing videos), Disable tracking and often just to load the websites faster.

Per another comment of mine, you're now essentially talking about a full time-ish job though. Unless you're lucky and connect with just the right people in your network, it's really tough to land well-paying part-time to very part-time gigs with a minimum of business development and a fair bit of flexibility.

And this is true broadly. It's very hard to find/make a 10-20 hour job that lets you take off a month or two and isn't some $5-10/hour sort of thing. To the degree there is, you probably have to create it yourself.
It's not an "act". For better or worse, you're hearing the real Joe Rogan. He would have the same conversations with guests even if the microphones were switched off.
There is a lot to criticize of Nassim Taleb, but your statement in unkind, as he did excellent work. I would say 1/3 of his audience, can't stand him because they don't like his style, but it's ultimately their loss. The other 1/3 don't like he is somewhat external to academic circles.

I think [1] is a balanced evaluation.

"...In short, Taleb resists categorization. If I had to pigeonhole him, I'd call him an anti-guru guru. That is, he mercilessly bashes other gurus, pundits and prophets and warns you not to fall for them. He depicts himself as a brave, lonely truth-teller in a world of fools and frauds. In so doing, he becomes a guru himself, with a cult-like following...

...even if you question what Taleb is saying—and you certainly should—he forces you to examine your own biases and assumptions. Yes, he can be irritating, but so are many of our most original thinkers..."

Looks great. An enhancement to the kill switch might be to make it a normally open relay which needs to keep receiving a command to keep it closed. So that when power or communication fails it stops instead of requiring power to activate the kill switch.

They are committing to minimum 2025. This gives them the flexibility to either continue support or make changes if new CPUs require new sockets.

Regardless it’s still better than intels 2 generation change. With AM5 you should get 4-5 generations of cou minimum.
Back from a time when developing a game meant porting it to half a dozen different systems with wildly different capabilities and expectations.
You correctly identified the red flag of a place looking for side-gig work that actually hates any sign of side-gig work. So for starters, great job there, you don't want to work for those people. As much as I hate to just recommend "find better recruiters", that does sound like a pretty terrible recruiter.

I don't see the big deal with either DALL-E or Stable Diffusion. It's compositional value is nil. At best it's text-to-img mapping may help some with getting to learn what different artistic styles look like, but I see it as the same dynamic as GitHub CoPilot.

Garbage In, Garbage Out. The more it's used, the more it's weights will be skewed toward SD'ness, and to be frank, I'm not entirely convinced that there won't be rapidly discovered "verbatim" reproductions of things as outputs that'll turn into legal challenges a la license enforcement.

Further, the user experience is extremely disappointing. One is quickly left feeling as if one's time may be better spent articulating one's vision enough such that a human artist can make it happen.

It's much like what I call "the hair stylist" problem. The hard part around communicating is figuring out the hairstylist vocabulary. DALL-E may make learning that easier.

Then again, my track record with "meh, never happens" has been abysmal lately.

They did that with the 5800X3D; the results were overall positive, although uneven. The cost was significant though - around 100$ more than the 5800X (which was $350).
Though on the official case rate and excess mortality maps, it's dark pink/light red, which indicates they still did better than a whole lot of countries.

That sounds clever and feels obviously legal and fine. I’m shocked that it’s not.
Because in adtech, you have to manipulate people much more directly, without going through the equalizer of electronic marketplaces.

Also, at least in crypto, nearly all people are here voluntarily, they know that they are in the adversarial environment, a fighting arena. In adtech, you are up against the innocent.
To be fair, general ad blocker will always require broad permissions, no matter what API it uses. There's no sense in ad blocker that works only on N sites.

Great question! I'll try my best to explain, though it's late and I may ramble – apologies in advance.

(You said you understand this bit but I'll put it here too just incase someone else could benefit). By modelling "the architecture", I'm referring to the architecture or the design of the system where work is happening. Think, for example, whether it's a system composed of many small components (modules, micro-services, micro-frontends, mono-repo), or a single large application (more traditional monolith).

By modelling "work" I mean: how do you distribute the work and the ownership of that work to teams. You can't easily have teams that share ownership, because if everyone is responsible then no one is. And you need to ensure responsibility for work is clear. For example, what are the outcomes you need from the other team building out that new API? Does your team also integrate code into those services that the other team are building? Probably not, but for some it isn't always clear. And if it's fundamentally required, how can you have many teams effectively contributing code to a single service without stepping on each other's toes and dilluting the concept of ownership?

By "communications of the team(s)" I mean to say that you need to influence how teams communicate. In a perfect world, all teams would be perfectly autonomous and never need to have the overhead of talking to or depending on another team to deliver work. In reality, teams need to communicate but there are different models to facilitate this (self service systems, service oriented software design, documentation, etc.). Organic collaboration can be harmful as companies grow beyond certain limits if not kept in check. The book Team Topologies by Matthew Skelton is a deep dive on this topic if you find that interesting.

I hope that answers your question.

Probably the worst analysis possible that pushes a specific narrative.

I'll explain.

Excess Mortality from draconian government responses that caused job loss, depression, excess alcohol and drug deaths, suicides, mixed with adverse events, are just put into the wash, along with actual deaths, and deaths from incorrect medical interventions, as well as propensity towards bad outcomes from unhealthy populations

There is no story of nuance in this, and that is why this is over-averaged dog doo.
> This objectively happened.

Sure.

As the article we're discussing states:

"In the US, the “fudge factor” is 1.13, which means our best guess is that 13% more Covid deaths took place than were officially reported.

For skeptics who can’t believe that deaths were under-counted: both things probably happened. A few cases were wrongly counted, but even more people may have died of Covid at home, without ever getting diagnosed."

> This practice varied by state and tracking eventually broke out death with COVID vs death by COVID.

Which involves a somewhat subjective, error-prone decisionmaking process. Early in the pandemic, when the vast majority of hospitalizations-with-COVID were due-to-covid, it made sense to just do the simple thing and assume COVID caused all the deaths. After the death rate fell and this became extremely confounding, it became important to make this somewhat subjective decision.

(e.g. a guy rolls up with a "heart attack" and is COVID positive. Is it due to COVID? SARS-CoV-2 both causes cardiac complications directly and can reduce blood oxygenation / increase heart workload, so heart attacks are more common with COVID infection).
I wonder why not create a ad-free/privacy fork of Chromium. Especially on Mobile, I'd use that for sure. Existing ones have huge strings attached. Mozilla is basically FUBAR at this point.
I think it's short-sighted. Separation of concerns is not a rule to be applied blindly: it requires understanding that separation also increases the complexity of the system. Deciding where to split, what abstractions to create, is not easy. Naming is hard, and yet here we are required to come up with names for these functions that could perfectly be inlined without any negative consequences.

I get that long switch cases get tedious, but the same applies to any piece of code, including a function. I don't think this is a solution, but rather, an annoyance.
I don't get why anyone uses Signal.

I'm not even sure what your point is here. I'm telling you that the FBI ordered two major social media platforms to suppress sharing of a truthful news story for political reasons. It's also a fact that most media outlets did the same. This is state censorship, and the fact that you could go to Breitbart or whatever fringe news site, or that you personally did so, doesn't change absolutely anything about that.
Pretty thin evidence to jump on a white supremacist’s pet theory.
Not sure quite what the rules are in other countries and other states, but to properly graduate high school in Florida with all the right credits to go to university, you need to take a foreign language. This would typically be Spanish. But depending on the school, other options may be available (at my school, French and, for a little while, Japanese).

But I think the big problem in the English-speaking world is not the lack of mandatory languages, or the almost intentional ignorance that I feel like many people perceive [from Americans, at least]. Rather, it’s just not all that necessary, pragmatically speaking.

I am Arab, I grew up in the U.S., I went to university in Russia, and my roommates were from China. I feel like all four groups have similar reasons for their difficulties with other languages.

While, of course, learning any language is useful, and there’s always something interesting that you would miss out on otherwise, there is such an absurd amount of stuff available in English. And so many people you can communicate with purely through English. For better or for worse, it’s not quite like being from Iceland or Estonia, where the total number of people you can communicate with in your native tongue is fewer than the population of Chicago.

When I think about my friends who are shockingly good at English, the people who not only understand the rules well but also the culture and could pass as a native speaker, at least over text, they are people who had a serious motivation to learn—like my friends from Lithuania who grew up on English-only games, like RuneScape, as kids and needed to have some ability to speak if they wanted to play.

If anything, I’m less surprised that English speakers tend to be so not-fluent than I am that Chinese speakers are as “fluent” as they are.

Very eventually, yes. Specifically when larger covid death numbers stopped being politically useful.

Not only did lockdowns fail, they were unnecessary and cruel and tyrannical. I sincerely hope that the responsible people will face justice that is just as harsh as the lockdown enforcement was.
My experience has been that most grammar schools/high schools/universities have a language requirement (I.e. you have to take a couple classes) which in practice means people learn a language to a basic or maybe intermediate level, but since the necessity of using that language is limited, there’s very little need/motivation to practice and advance your studies.

I’m not sure about what takes its place, sports?
That analysis was just for figuring out the actual Covid death numbers using the excess deaths in this two year time period
Imho it's well past the point of "almost shadowing the rest". It singlehandledly makes the rest of the work (at least in my judgement) completely garbage. Which is a shame because it seems good. I don't want to sound too "emotional" but come the fuck on. Even if you want to be "rational" and just look at hard monetary data you could just take the years lost, give them a price tag (average yearly salary * years accounted for inflation of age/region bracket) and look at that. But to ask "Would you have preferred to live through a total travel ban, and total lockdowns, like Australia’s, to save yourself 10-to-15 days of life?" falsifies the thing completely: you didn't save yourself 2w of "life", you saved someone else decades of their life (and their impact to society/economy). And you didn't "pay" for it in time, you just had reduced quality for a while.

If lives were only relevant "on average", then reducing birth rates wouldn't be an issue for society/economy at all right? "On average" there wouldn't be a difference.
