> a bad thing only when putin does it.

Here is a key difference between Russia and the US/Europe. When Iraq war is bad, thousands of people can march across American/European cities without a fear of getting jailed. People can run for elections hammering their opponents on voting for a monstrous war (Obama trounced Hillary and others) and win. And that makes a difference (Syria - US/Europe didn't go there; in fact, the world afterwards wished that the US had gone to fight against Assad to prevent further tragedies).

Vs what is happening in Russia? I heard demonstrators and political opponents are jailed. Even an old lady, who survived the siege of Leningrad and dared protest against Putin, was taken away by the police. That is what makes US regime much much better than Putin's.
Why would they exclude prior covid-19 infection? It seems like that would be the primary cohort to consider. June 27 to August 17th indicates 88% of the general population had detectable nucleocapsid antibody [1] (that means exposure to Covid). Typically the age group 18-39 would have even higher levels of exposure based on prior reporting.

Ahhh, that's why MT/s exists. All I need to know now is how many data bits are in a transfer and how many memory channels there are, and I'll be able to calculate how fast the memory interface is.
Apparently the study only looked at people with a single dose which is selecting a very specific group of people.
> However, locals are a problem. They’re mutable, so you can’t trivially convert them to SSA

As mentioned in previous discussions, that isn't accurate. Wasm locals can be easily converted to SSA, and that is exactly what all major wasm VMs have been doing since wasm launched. Wasm was designed to make that efficient.

Yes, you usually want to do liveness analysis on that SSA form. In theory that information could have been bundled into wasm, at the cost of code size (and a verification scheme). I'm not aware of data showing that that would have been a better tradeoff.

SSA conversion and locals in general are not a significant challenge for wasm VMs, neither in complexity nor generated code quality. As the author admits,

> optimising compilers will probably not generate better code from [possible changes]

There are other areas that actually are challenges for wasm atm, such as memory management (no mmap or even shrinking) and no irreducible control flow (may well be limiting performance on certain benchmarks, but data is lacking).
Self hosted video vs self host streaming is two different things.

You might have cheap S3 storage to tons tons of MP4 video, but to transcode it, add CDN and everything added up.

Cloudflare pricing example is a good guide here. 6 dollar for storage, but egress fee is 72.

The only lockin here is convenience, garnix builds the existing outputs from your flake.nix, and there are already self hosted options which work the same way.

Not nearly as bad as writing a bunch of custom github actions or travis CI yaml files and needing to move.

You can replicate garnix's checks with much worse UX and less parallelism on any other service with a few lines of shell calling `nix flake check` and `nix build`. Making the UX good is left as an exercise for the reader.
Usually the worker portion comes from either TAing or RAing. In these cases you would most definitely be a worker.

I know someone who played Russian Roulette once and is still alive. Getting lucky and risk taking have been best friends since the dawn of time.

Side effects don’t hit everyone and they don’t hit everyone the same. I’m on the absolutely lowest dose of a prescription drug because I react strongly to it. First dose had a really unpleasant side effect, lower dose got rid of that one but another developed later. It wasn’t particularly bad, I just found it upsetting. Lowest dose still gets most of the benefit without the side effects. For me. I know of someone with panic disorder who has a long list of drugs they can’t take at all because “feels funny” is enough to trigger an attack. We suspect vagus nerve issues of some sort.

I'd not heard that theory, but I remember when Dan Kaminsky put the BitLen tribute into the blockchain, and it was definitely more about Dan screwing with weird tech, and realizing that anything he put there would be there forever right around the time that a good friend of his passed away. Dan was super skeptical about cryptocurrencies, and most of what he did around the space was finding weird ways to fuck with it.
All this guy does is upload other people's videos with some random comments like "Russia has taken the lead in donating tanks to Ukraine". I don't think it should be demonetized but it's not a big loss for the world either.
Nah, train delay "explanations" are typically quite vague. Consider the famous "Verzögerung wegen Verzögerung im Betriebsablauf" (delay due to delays in operations). Also, they never mention suicides, in the same way that suicides are not reported on by media in general. I believe it gets coded as "emergency medical services" (well, "Notarzteinsatz"), which can of course have non-suicide causes as well.
I have found that it is often dust in the port that makes them feel loose. Cleaning them with a little brush (like the ones that come with an electric shaver) made a lot of difference for me.
Unemployment really needs to be paired with the Labor Force Participation Rate. Unemployment is low, but LFPR is down as well. 10 years ago it hovered steadily around 63.5-64%. The pandemic crushed it, but we're still only back up to around 62.5%.

That's a lot of people not working that simply aren't in the market anymore, unemployment would look a lot worse if they were included.
Agree, still trying to find full explanation, seen it described before. Aside from sharing the token, other issue is if the endpoint cached the token, it’s unique and could be cross-referenced to deanonymize the user if 3rd-party or government gained access to list of tokens an endpoint collected.

Obviously looking for example, but if you’re able to think of an additional issues that need to be accounted for, let me know.
I don't understand how feedly is the issue here. If the client doesn't say they accept gzip encoding, why are you sending gzip encoded content? It would be slightly weird if the feedly client doesn't ask for gzip, but this is standard HTTP content negotiation.

If an HTTP server is ignoring the Accept-Encoding header and choosing to serve a Content-Encoding that the client can't accept, that is the problem here. If the server and client can't come to an agreement, isn't that the purpose of HTTP 406? But, being able to serve both gzip'd and plain text versions of an XML file doesn't seem that crazy.

Is this a decent example?

Operational: We analyzed the performance logs on Tony's computer to show that he didn't use his CPU that much and thus could be given a cheaper model.

Research: we used those same logs, and everybody else's, to show that most people use about 25% of their CPU capacity.

> How expensive is it to self-host videos nowadays?

Insanely.

If you take MrBeast's last video which is 200MB when downloaded in 1080p and has been viewed 40M times, we have 0.2GB * 40,000,000 = 20M GB of data transferred just for this one video.

If you look at the price of AWS's CloudFront (a CDN) transfer out to the internet, it would cost $200,000 just to serve that video to the internet.

This is just for pure data transfer. It's not viable even a second.
Looking at the "Popular uploads" of said person I have to say that I'm not that shocked it happened.

It's classic low quality YouTube clickbait videos with a "shocked face" on the thumbnail: "Analyzing 5 new combat videos from Ukraine war", "Estonian soldier reacts to M1 Abrams Tank",... - Maybe not worth demonitizing for, but also not something of worth being lost.
My first job in 1984 included 'selling' System/36s - I say 'selling' in inverted commas as I don't think we actually sold a single machine - the other part was selling PC/XTs which was much easier. Also customers weren't that keen.

By 1990 it would have been a desktop S/36 which sat on or under your desktop. The first version was the shape of a washing machine but about 6x bigger by volume.

It was also incredibly slow. I later came across an insurance company that ran its business on a S/36 emulated on a 386. The emulation was faster than the original machine.

From memory I don't think the architecture had much in common with S/360. Quite simple I think but a lot of the internal state of the processor exposed to the programmer. Might do a blog post on it at some point!

Edit; Do let me know if a blog / newsletter post would be of interest - details in my bio. Thanks!
I am not a financial advisor, but I think markets are far from bottoming out. NASDAQ touched the resistance line, if it breaks it, we will go down even more.

I also have multiple stocks that are >50% down, but if the fundamentals of the company has not changed since you invested when the price was higher, why not to buy it cheaper with discount to DCA.

As for me, in this market turmoil I just keep saving cash for the bottom and put small sums to DCA in my current positions, as I think it is a great opportunity to buy for the long hold.

Just try no to look at our portfolio every hour, because it will no change everything the less you look, the calmer you will be.

That seems surprisingly reasonable? It's saying $78/month for:

And below is:

>Streaming costs at a rate of $1 per 1,000 minutes delivered.

So if you have tiktok style short videos of ~1 min, you only need a $1 CPM to break even.

I think the point was attempting to isolate factors.

Receiving a booster would effectively confound the factors dramatically -- timing of dose, amount of dose, batch of vaccines, etc would all play a larger role.

This is pretty much how normal studies are conducted.

Regarding the comment:

> Unfortunately, in this case it's not a news article. It's Florida's government health officials. And instead optimizing for ad clicks, they're optimizing for staying in office. Nothing about this paper should have been used as a basis for policy. That only thing this is a basis for is "further study".

The policy of pulling up to a facility, not speaking with your doctor, and getting an untested vaccine without monitoring is also a strange policy. The news, politicians, and NIH pushed it because it was believed to have overall beneficial effects to the community; but we didn't and still don't know the long-term effects.

My understanding is the surgeon general of florida has a difference of opinion and based on the risk profile of young males (very very low risk of covid) and from the risk which appears to be present in the COVID19 gene therapies has made a different determination.

For reference moderna is still completing it's phase 1(!) trial for the COVID19 vaccines

Your channel will die. Period.

YouTube’s biggest feature is discovery. “The algorithm.”

Sure, you might be able to self host videos, for relatively little money. But who is going to watch them? Alternatives like Floatplane, CuriosityStream, Nebula, etc all are great platforms and far more creator-friendly (mostly because they were built and owned by creators) but they all flounder when it comes to the discovery and hooking aspect because the amount of content on them is minuscule, and at the end of the day the viewer just goes back to YT.
I’m curious how the economy of hiring mercenaries worked.

You would need to present evidence that rates of non-vaccination between immunocompromised and non-immunocompromised individuals are not equal for this to be true. Anecdotally, I know a handful of "immunocompromised" individuals (RA and its relatives run rampant in my family), and all of them are vaccinated and boosted.

20% of Florida hasn't received a single dose [1]. Even if you assume that 2.7% of Florida is immunocompromised (using a figure from a Google search [2], maybe not the most accurate), and that 0% of the immunocompromised population is vaccinated (bold assumption), that's still only ~14% of this pool that's immunocompromised.

You can't make an analytic deconstruction of bias and then just stop when you get to a level that makes you comfortable.

The fluff is the stuff only those who are aware of what's happening, of what happened (not just of the scientific things), can experience. Earth, we are trashing it, not up for debate, not anymore. Probably not trashing it as much as we could, but more than enough, which is obvious as a nose in a face. When confronted to the cold embrace of those who can't see and feel anything of the sort, some can only resort to their sentiments, the _sentimental stuff_ as you frame it, which can only follow the drama, never preceding it.

Just like arriving onto a crime scene and yelling at the crying survivors to shut up, without any consideration for the crime committed before, or any of its consequences.

I don't think "blowing up like MrBeast" is the scenario you should optimize for. If you would suddenly have traffic like MrBeast you'd also have sponsorships like MrBeast to pay for the traffic.

On a regular scale fine to host videos if you are with a regular hoster and not pay AWS/GCP network prices. The problem is that you won't get traffic, you won't be discovered, you'd have to do a lot of things that you'll get for free on dedicated video platforms (transcoding, keeping a lot of different formats available to work with all devices,...)

> Also by sitting in Stocks, you not only lost 20% this year, but also 9% due to inflation for a total loss of ~30%+.

But if you sold the stocks, you would have taken an immediate tax hit of ~20-35%, and you would have to time the bottom to get back in.

So, it's not at all clear that getting out makes sense. Depends on the depth of the decline, and that is unknowable.

Your experience is different from mine. Ordering unnecessary tests is typical practice in my experience. And doctors are quick to reject tests done at another hospital, as if tests done at another hospital are untrustworthy.

Any time a US hospital has expensive equipment, doctors working at the hospital are under pressure to keep it running. You can find any number of articles on this topic if you're willing to spend a few minutes googling.

MLE is usually considered frequentist. See for example the table in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequentist_inference

Bayesian inference uses the likelihood function but I wouldn't say that this fact alone makes MLE "close to Bayesian".

MLE neither considers a (prior) probability distribution nor produces a (posterior) probability distribution for the parameter of interest.

Virtue Signalling is absolutely a thing.

Hollow and performative support for an issues that services only to engender the supporter with social points.

Supporting Ukraine doesn't bring anyone brownie points because it's not so much a moral position.

Corporations 'supporting' BLM, especially with donations, which is a totally corrupt charity - this is a problem. Corporations even throwing up the word 'equity' is a bit of a start, but not really there. Corporations making money off of it (Nike) is evil. Corporations doing something thoughtful and material about it, now that's not 'virtue signalling'. If they want to humble-brag about it in some non aggrandising way, then that's fine but it should not be part of company branding.
