If you're going to unveil a new vaccine it should be proven to be effective. Anything else at this point (when practically everyone has developed an immune response through infection or previous vaccination) is unethical.

The mouse models were challenge studies, i.e. how do vaccinated mice respond to exposure to the omicron variant? That's what matters. Versus what you are demagoguing. Conflating with "tested", that since the new booster was given to humans and no abnormal AEs were observed & antibody levels rose, that automatically means it must be effective.

This is precisely the scenario that degrades public trust in institutions when this fast-and-loose science is being rolled-out live on large populations.

It boggles my mind that they are risking the destruction of one of their best export industries with the chaos at

As they never stopped building LWRs

and I think lead the world in selling nuclear reactors internationally. They offer a full range of fuel cycle services too and in fact have a much bigger market share in Uranium than they do in oil. (w/ the caveat that a lot of competitive Uranium production could come on the market if the demand for it was there.)

On one hand an "accident" at Zaporizhzhia would hurt the industry as a whole but it would particularly mark the Russians as an unreliable partner.

I agree it's gotten worse but is it a bad thing?

That's a different discussion, then. The point is, the onus is on whoever is doing the military intervention to prove that they will save more lives than they will destroy. This is very high bar to clear especially since the enemy is going to fight as well, and we do not know the future.

In general, I am in favor of nonviolent resistance (which might include economic sanctions, sabotages etc.) rather than military action. In fact, it is often easier to gain moral support that way.

However, I understand that many humans naturally choose the latter, for tribal reasons, despite it being overall a worse choice.

It was described as a propaganda network capable of controlling the narrative.

It is a matter of degree, but you keep insisting it's a matter of category.

If the CCP uses networks of bots to amplify pro-CCP stories and viewpoints on Twitter, then that's "different" (to answer your original question) in an extremely important way to if someone pushed those views on their own small blog. It's different because the scale and impact is different.

Also, both of those things belong, to some extent, to the category of "propaganda network capable of controlling the narrative". But one belongs to it more, and one is more of an issue, because the world isn't binary.
If you didn't know that, there is SO MUCH more to discover. It's not just an alternate political system... It's a while different world about which most in the West have no comprehension.
> I am stuggling with helm/kubernetes and the new company's ecosystem where everybody is new in the team.

I can't speak for Helm, but working with Kubernetes in Go is almost uniquely difficult. Kubernetes modules are designed to be dynamic, and Go's type system doesn't make that easy, which leads to some cludge-y code out of necessity.

Plus the API is vast, and it's sometimes not clear what package you need for a particular use.

There's lots of practical implications to measuring in halfs indefinitely. See my response to the sister comment. Hex exists because binary switches are simple to manufacture and simple to reason about, but we've been halving measures since time immemorial and will continue to do so, even if our systems make it a bit difficult.

Binary search trees aren't just base two because we liked the number. Base ten, on the other hand, is just a number we picked and it happens to check a few boxes too.
Programmers did this? From my experience, programmers hate this industry shift to "rented" software, and it's the MBAs that have pushed this on us as they've infiltrated the C-suite over the last decade+.
Your analysis is seemingly based in the notion that all viewpoints are equal valid, but an analysis of the war needs to be rooted in what’s right and what’s wrong.

Russia is fighting a war of aggression in Ukraine. Do they have interests there? Sure, but that doesn’t give them the right to invade and topple the government.

Before you ask, yes the US is extremely guilty of this exact same behavior, it is also wrong.

This war started because Putin won’t accept anything less then complete fealty from the leaders of Ukraine/Belarus, and the 2014 revolution that threw out Yanikovich meant that they didn’t have a leader that was 100% on their side in Ukraine.
Sure, it adds a cost, but it’s infinitesimal compared to the cost of what we are measuring.
That’s not entirely true. They gameafy some aspects for sure, but that’s just about accessibility. You can run it like a full sim and there are great videos of real Boeing pilots talking about it.

Even the old flight sim was so advanced MSFT had contracts with the French military for their mapping tech from the game specifically. This is back in the day now.

There's no reason for you to hold that opinion so strongly.

There's nothing inherently wrong with having a 200 for everything with a standard body structure, and there's nothing wrong with having a GET request with a body.

Where things go off the rails is strictly adhering to a specific thing without understanding the advantages and disadvantages of other approaches.
Well, you could write down a model for the full interaction between synapses and probably endow the whole thing with an RL-like environment so that you can model the interactions. The solutions of the model would then represent pretty exactly what a conscious being would do.

But it is hopeless to solve such a model, already writing it down would be a challenge.

There's an important difference between physically being able to keep something secret, and legally being able to keep something secret.

For instance: today the government has the physical ability to break into my house and shoot me in the head for no reason at all, but they don't have the legal ability to do so. Likewise, they have the physical ability to illegally obtain evidence, but not the legal ability to use that evidence to convict someone at trial.

Are all the highly esteemed professors, scientists, politicians, healthcare workers, and researchers who signed the great barrington declaration anti-vaxx conspiracy theorists?

Do you have any idea how many people in real life yelled at me and called me incredibly nasty things for suggesting that maybe, just maybe this myopic fixation on Covid was going to have some serious long term effects and maybe, just maybe we are overreacting?

You can’t speak against the narrative. Speaking out against what we did was and still is career suicide if you are in healthcare, science or research.

There has been a continual incredibly strong push to label anything that goes against “the narrative” as misinformation, “anti-whatever”. Speaking out as a member of the medical/science community gets you blacklisted. Beware of any research that got published in the heat of this mess—there were strong incentives to only publish research that supported “the narrative”.
It's like Stalinist Russia, you can believe whatever you want, it's only expressing those beliefs that gets you sent to the gulag.

Yes, kitty has a series of VTE terminal protocol extensions:

https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/protocol-extensions/

The intention is to document them well enough that other terminal emulators can implement them (which some have).

Among those is a graphics protocol, which is actually (optionally) used by chafa. Another is a keyboard protocol extension: which has been implemented by a number of editors and other terminals: notably neovim, kakoune, helix, wezterm, and foot.

I tried the latest MS Flight Simulator on X-Box. It was incredibly difficult to figure out how to set things up to reasonably simulate something like flying an ILS approach. Maybe on the PC it's better, but it just didn't seem to be the focus. And there's background music playing like it's an un-serious video game. X-Plane seems much more oriented towards realistically simulating the tasks involved in actually flying aircraft. Microsoft's seemed more oriented towards having pretty dang spectacular graphics and providing a fun experience for people who aren't really that interested in the rest of the minutiae of piloting aircraft. It's pretty cool that you can see your actual house on the Microsoft one though.

Or to reuse your description from earlier:

> math is the nicest structure our constrained brains have been able to construct

This is a nice one-phrase explainer of what math is. So many people I know confuse the idea of math (abstract thinking and modelling) with arithmetic, so I'm always on a lookout for ways we could re-associate the pointer "math" to it's correct meaning.
They're both great tools :) Lots of similarities, and plenty of differences.

No, it's rooted in the notion that Russia has it's own POV, and it's that POV that will determine its actions. The GGP's "simple first step" is nonsense, because it didn't recognize that POV.

> but an analysis of the war needs to be rooted in what’s right and what’s wrong.

And if someone (like an adversary) doesn't share your views about what’s right and what’s wrong, they'll reject your analysis and any recommendations based on it.
