So if I understand this right, a one-thread-per-core request handling instead of a one-thread-per-request architecture should make this problem much more unlikely. Would switching to JVM fibers be a solution, in case this problem appears in a traditional threaded JVM app?
> Fifty-eight percent of coronavirus deaths in August were people who were vaccinated or boosted...

It’s a continuation of a troubling trend that has emerged over the past year...

That month (Aug 2022), unvaccinated people aged 6 months and older died at about six times the rate of those who had received their primary series of shots.

---

In other words, no news here. Or at the very least, they buried the lede.

Yes, more of the jabbed have morbid outcomes. But far more have also been vaccinated. It's an illusion of universe size and percentages. That is, according to the data referenced (buried further down in the article), unvaxinated still carries significantly higher risk.

If there's news here it's that the media still perfers fearmongering over taking a math class or two. Immediately under that is the sub-story that "pandemic of the unvaccinated" is a great sound bite, but it might be the worst public health slogan of the modern era. Those four words are firmly etched in the collective memory and have created false expectations, confusion, etc. Worse, it's being leveraged for what amounts to fake news like this article.
> Interesting point about VR. I guess the sets and controllers are married even more so to the Windows APIs and will incur stark penalty on immersion for even slightest lag (due to API translation)?

Its mostly that Valve doesn't seem to be too interested in polishing VR on Linux. They ported SteamVR and eventually ported Alyx but neither has seen any significant update on Linux for ages. It all kinda works but ... not great.

Other non-Valve headsets will probably have even more problems.

It's a library system shared between multiple schools.

If it's similar to how this works in England (a friend is a teacher), an area that runs public schools -- in England a county -- owns all the books. Schools can borrow e.g. 30 copies of MacBeth one year, and 30 copies of Hamlet the next year, if the teacher doesn't feel like teaching the same thing every year.

They can also borrow 250 different books for 12 year olds, 250 for 13 year olds, etc, to put in the school library. These are gradually rotated between all the schools in the district.
I'm a OSMand user and OSM contributor. However, sometimes I hate the routing OSMand provides, taking me through narrow streets with awkward turns. Wish they used GraphHopper...
A nice feature in OSMand is that even if you get the free version off the Play store, if you log in with OSM and are active, you get free map updates and all the "plus" functions. And on top of that, the full plus version is available off F-Droid.

By the way, OSMand has some support for reporting traffic issues (police, crashes), but it's very very limited due to low adoption way below a critical mass. Also, reporting traffic status would probably require OSMand to run a pretty beefy server and get the current speed/traffic info from all the users - many chose it exactly because they don't want that.
Browser could implement finer grain permissions (i.e. only permit the API use for a given top level path regexp) but I bet most users won't bother fine tuning their grants.

Yes, it is a sort of shotgun . . . the idea is to mess up the bomb enough that it will no longer explode (i.e. destroy any timer or other trigger mechanism). It is a very crude, brute force method, but it will generally work, and if all the people have been moved away, it is relatively low risk.
The pseudocode seems easy to follow: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012365X0...

Here's an (inefficient) implementation in Python:

def cool_lex(s, t):
b = [1]*t+[0]*s
x = t
y = t
yield b.copy()
while x < s+t:
b[x-1] = 0
b[y-1] = 1
b[0] = b[x]
b[x] = 1
x = x + 1 - (x-1)*b[1]*(1-b[0])
y = b[0]*y+1
yield b.copy()

I checked that it gives the right number of combinations (math.comb(s+t, s)) for a whole lot of small s and t values, and that the combinations are all different:

len(set(tuple(c) for c in cool_lex(s, t))) == math.comb(s+t, s)

It's late at night here though, so I can't vouch for its correctness!

Edit: I tried the following, to check more correctness. It was a bad idea! Ran out of RAM with 32GB on cool_lex(14, 15).

for s in range(1, 16):
for t in range(1, 16):
print(s, t)
if len(set(tuple(c) for c in cool_lex(s, t))) != math.comb(s+t, s):
print('bad', s, t)
The "danger" of nuclear power is not their day-to-day operations, it is the nature of the waste product (both in terms of its decay to safe levels and the ongoing storage requirements) and the use of said waste materials in the relatively simple production of "dirty bombs" that just require standard explosives to distribute said radioactive waste around a large area.

So the danger is not overstated, it's that the promoters of nuclear energy refuse to accept the complete lifecycle of nuclear power, including both the fuel generation (uranium mining is environmentally damaging, leaving tailings and polluted water), fuel management (moving radioactive fuel around the community/environment), and fuel disposal (unsolved).

So no, it's not at all clear where the legal lines are drawn. There have been no court cases yet, regarding the training of ML models. People are trying to draw analogies from other types of cases, but this has not been tried in court yet. And then the answer will likely differ based on country.

> It would be interesting to see if this technology can erode the copyright concept a bit

Copyright law (especially in US) only ever changes in the direction that suits corporations. So - no.

What I expect instead is artists being sued by a big tech company for copyright violations because that big tech company used the artist Public Domain image for training their copyrighted AI and as a result it created a copyrighted copy of the original artist's image.
The main thing is the quick pressurized cooking. But for me, and I use mine regularly, it's the repeatability. Boiled eggs are super easy once dialed in, and rice cooking too. The slow cooker part has worked better for me after buying a slow-cooker style lid for it (rather than the locking pressure lid, or no lid.)

Cambrian explosion is probably not a good example because one of the reasons (correlations) was oxygen levels and other planetary chemistry shifts. I mean yes, rocking the boat should probably restructure life in a more sophisticated way (like shaking a cup of screws makes it fill more gaps and settle better), but if the previous bacteria went extinct without these changes, that explosion could be unremarkable.
Paranoid? ... I think you're bring overly optimistic over the medium to long term.

AFAIK. This is not possible at the moment and would need some breakthrough in training algorithms, the required bandwidth between the GPUs is much higher than internet speed.
Considering the time scales at which the other mass extinctions happened, I don't think it's reasonable to count that as separate from what's happening now. It might instead be better to rethink the whole thing as one somewhat prolonged extinction event due to the appearance and subsequent activities of humans.

Yeah, parsing & cleaning up HTML will always be a heuristic that fails sometimes.

I'd highlight your point nr. 5. A very large percentage of articles use Wordpress or other website builders. Once you support a few large sites your coverage drastically increases.

With Unclutter I also found it helpful to have an automated fallback -- if the text content of the page reduces too much, it disables some of the content block methods one by one.
I used it for a while. The recommendation engine needed work, and I felt the social aspect of the whole thing was influencing the music I was listening to.

It's hard to explain.
All rules inherently depend on the Makefile they are defined in. The second you touch the Makefile rules, you have potentially invalidated all the object files. So, ccache is great when working on the build rules.

Using ccache is also nice when you have generated files. If you edit the generator code but the output is identical, Make will needlessly rebuild everything and ccache will make it quick.
As an alternative, using UTM with a lightweight linux distro might be more performant.

Or just run alpine with openssh and ssh in locally through an iOS client. I'd be curious how running UTM/qemu continuously would affect battery life. Is it 10% or 50% less? 10% would be an acceptable trade off for me.
I understand the attraction of slow cooking. It ties neatly into our desire for authenticity and even mindfulness. However, the last piece of kitchen machinery that changed my life is the opposite: the pressure cooker. It allows you to go from raw beef or even dried (unsoaked!) beans to a meltingly soft stew in less than an hour. It saves time and energy and, by doing so, opens up whole swaths of culinary possibilities.
Yuck!

Any suggestions for an good open street maps app on iOS?

"Sorry, software bug, happens"
This is because as Linux started taking over the server space, it brought with it a culture of "stone knives and bearskins" tooling from old-school Unix -- and most applications these days are web applications.

One of the major disappointments of recent years is seeing Microsoft backpedal from promoting Windows as the premier development platform and embracing (to extend or extinguish?) Linux with its command lije bullshit. Windows in the late 90s was an entire environment based on composable components, linked together via discoverable interfaces. It had a software composition story far superior to Unix pipes. We should be able to build entire web and cloud infrastructures by wiring components together visually, and using visual inspection tools to debug problems as they happen in the pipeline. Not monkey about with YAML and JSON.

This made me think how much would I lose if I'll just block all *.google.com domains in the browser? I was using DDG for search and Firefox for browsing for many years without problems, but I also still use Gmail and Google docs (or whatever they are called these days, Google for Work?). Maybe, a blanket ban plus a few exceptions like mail.google.com, docs.google.com, tables.google.com and drive.google.com would not cripple my workflow too much.

Unfortunately, No. And it is indeed a dilemma. If you don’t invest, you don’t grow. However, if you invest early, you may be creating a lot of unnecessary energy use.

This also apply to things like electric cars and batteries. We should always see the bigger picture, but someone has to do the dirty math.
It probably takes a different type of academic to do replication studies. It's a specific kind of detective work, to see if you can expose someone else's mistakes which are sometimes even deliberate.

I agree with the foreign debt strategy.

E.g. Greece is being talked about as if it was somehow an immoral country that is constantly living beyond their means and somehow the Germans are the heroes who bail out the Greeks who used the debt to buy uh what exactly did they buy? German exports? Wait a moment. If Greeks are buying German products, why aren't Germans just buying Greek products instead of bailing them out? It would be mutually beneficial and solve the debt problem. It turns out, paying off the debt is the last thing Germany wants. If anything, it wants the debt to stay there to act out a nationalist hero role that is both counterproductive to German and Greek citizens and only really benefits the German export industry and the handful of workers directly employed by them.

For Greek products to become competitive in Germany, wages in Germany would have to go up. In other words, Greece is a scape goat to distract from domestic issues in Germany just like the EU was the scape goat for the UK.
Transferring Gripen fighters to Ukraine as soon as possible
It may appear that right now, a lot of things are going the wrong way simultaneously and that that somehow is an unique point in history. But it's not. Several large-scale events with potentially horrific outcomes have happened simultaneously for centuries. There were plague epidemics during the Thirty-Years War. Conflicts in faraway lands did influence trade at home. Political turmoil happened during economic collapse. Animals went extinct in the medieval age, at some point we (Europeans) managed to essentially raze most of our forests, continent-wide, for construction and shipbuilding (just ask Iceland...). This is the human normal. Hell, for decades, we stared death in it's nuclear eye constantly.

What is different today: You can now watch all of these events unfold in real-time, and have journalists who no longer are out to tell stories, but to foster your fear so that you create more ad clicks.

But fear and dread are bad advisors. Let's not buy into them, and see the problems as what they are: challenges to solve. Because, just like any of the crisis' of the past, if we don't solve them, they will blow up in our faces.

This makes it problematical to block. Previously you could give location permission to map.google.com and not elsewhere. Now you can't be more selective: remove permission from search/other and maps stops working (or doesn't work as well).

As others have pointed out, there are technical benefits too – but most (all?) of these technical benefits are essentially because it works around features designed to limit the scope of permissions.

Yes. Children will play in a cardboard box, and together my sister and I can testify as living proof that children can play with anything you set before them.

I think middle-class parents are driven to keep-up-with-the-Joneses, and unfortunately the main drivers are the children themselves. Children are spoiled and exposed to all sorts of advertising in the guise of children's programming. Children's media is geared 100% to monetizing and productizing things and then having the children yelp at their parents in the grocery stores, in the toy stores, at home, at school, wherever, to please please please get me the new GI Joe or I won't be cool enough.

Yet like a cat, a child can take an emptied out cardboard box on Christmas and have it be the most wondrous source of joy for that entire year.
