Easy, you recognize that with infectious viruses some people will get infected and not show symptoms, and some percentage of people will get sick even though they are vaccinated. This is well known in medicine and in everyday popular culture.

The confusion here is your own misunderstanding.

> The other issue is that like other vaccine skeptics if you have a particular issue with mRNA (which doesn’t make sense given you don’t know anything about vaccines, or the differences between mRNA vaccines or other vaccines or even how vaccines work) you could have taken a non-mRNA vaccine.
Another related tip for Mac: if you are using Yoink — and you totally should be — you can add files to to it from shell with `open -a Yoink filename`. I have a shell function called `yo` for it.
P.S. my advisor in grad school had a whole project to help Chinese people to get around the nasty firewall. Looks like he can revive that project for the UK now! except this time the NSF is probably not going to fund it, my guess.

I wonder how much of it is also due to technologies making this possible. The centralisation of a huge chunk of communications via a few massive actors makes this kind ideas enforceable.
So, while those ideas aren't new, the thought of generalising it comes from having layed down the technical foundation that makes it possible.

https://ria.ru/ works for me on my BT DSL, and they aren't shy of doing what they're told

That site uses google tag manager too. If there are international sanctions should google really be providing services?
Sure, but i am free to avoid twitter as well. Long as he does't break the law or cause social harm.
Mastodon is an existing English word, though? Tweets in Mastodon are "toots", so if the platform catched on, I guess they'd say "to toot".
Yeah and why should other people come to the office to make their lives harder only to make yours easier. Are you listening to yourself?
Interesting talk. The “parametric linking” is just how parameterized modules (“functors”) work in OCaml. I like it.
This is what happens when you have an unwritten constitution. The ruling government tries to present itself and its choices as the choice of the people. Unless you can restrict or rescind onerous dictates like this then you are doomed to censorship chosen by the government of the day.

This type of mechanism only works so far until it is blocked. It doesn’t solve the censorship problem that the China Communists inflict on the population.

So do you propose we double-down on this, with the help of the government? I'm ok with that, since I believe there is 0 chance anyone can do anything about it. But we can at least stop being two-faced about it.
It's true I have a bad trait of being very critical of others, but as I've said I've always gone above and beyond to complete the tasks given to me, so I'm not sure what I could have done better... maybe I'm just trying to find excuses for what many have pointed out is just the fact of the matter of the startup landscape (high risk of failure)

> Make sure that the failing device the Coyote is trying to use is an ACME autonomous vehicle. The vehicle's autopilot should be the failing component that ruins the coyote's plans.

The scene opens on the desert landscape, with the Road Runner zipping across the screen. The coyote is seen in the distance, eyeing his prey. He pulls out an ACME autonomous vehicle and hops inside, grinning as he activates the autopilot.

The vehicle takes off, chasing after the Road Runner. The coyote is confident that his plan will work, but the Road Runner is too quick. It easily outmaneuvers the vehicle, zigzagging and darting around obstacles.

The coyote starts to panic as he realizes the vehicle's autopilot is not keeping up. He frantically tries to take control, but it's too late. The vehicle crashes into a cactus, sending the coyote flying out and into a nearby rock.

The Road Runner cackles and speeds off, leaving the coyote dazed and confused. The scene ends with the coyote laying on the ground, covered in cactus spines and dust.
I've understood it's pretty standard legal language. Actual people would be referred as "natural persons", as opposite of "legal persons".

Because there’s no real way to adequately test them so you can sell them at various price points.

If you have something that people don’t know a ton about (so not milk, say) and don’t use a ton (so not tools) it’s very easy to get a wide range of prices. Most people will skip the $30 (obviously it’s crap because it’s too cheap) and some will even but the $600 (it must be the best because the most expensive).

And likely the only difference is the number of attachments or something.
> It’s happening because ministers have not really thought through the implications

I think they've thought through the implications perfectly well. Or at the very least they've been told what the implications are by their legal advisors. The real problem is that they do not care about those implications.

What if someone values the land to drain and grow crops more than the current owner who just likes ducks so keeps it in its natural state?

I guess they should have to pay taxes on the potential agricultural value because wild ducks don’t have any intrinsic market value?

I kind of suspect the basic argument is based on some fallacious theory of value…pretty much guarantee it methinks.
This was true of medieval clerics and Enlightenment historians as well. It's almost always the idle writing history because everyone else is too busy working or living their own lives. The exception to this rule is patronage history (e.g. paying others to write flattering histories) but that's exactly what this kind of astroturfing on Wikipedia is.

The point is, the federal government does not have a delineated power to regulate firearms or silencers. When they outlaw them, they say they're regulating "interstate commerce", which is a power they are granted.

If you manufacture the silencer yourself and don't cross state lines, and the materials you used also didn't cross state lines, the federal govt can't regulate it. (Although the state can.)

It might be more relevant how you started programming. If you're playing with things, taking them apart, making them do odd things — it's likely you pick up a bottom-up understanding, messing with minor aspects at first. That lends itself to becoming a "sorcerer". Conversely, if you acquire a skill in pursuit of solving a specific problem (and matching how things are taught, mostly), you start top-down, becoming a "wizard".
And yet, if I want to do something nefarious, connecting to this from Tails via TOR would be a pretty good way to hide my tracks.
Pleroma, Hive and Mastodon are alternatives having varying degrees of success, and a lot of people seem to be moving to Substack. I think we're going to see Twitter replaced not by a single platform but a number of platforms that serve more narrowly focused interests. Maybe people will even start blogging again.
This watch thing seems pretty simplistic, does it just watch the entry point? A directory? The default should be watch all files in dependency graph.

Wow, really appreciate you opening up and sharing all this experience.

I do consistently try to make an effort of recognizing and meditating on how blessed I am and the part of the world I grew up and in live in. Of course my feelings of "failure" have much more to do with my personal desires and goals, I'd never spite or throwaway everything else I have (roof over my head, never a worry about food, water, etc.)

Your thoughts on the MRR are similar to my concerns, some comments are saying 100% go indy, but if that income only scales linearly with time for me then yeah I am back to the drawing board in about a half year.

When it comes to current events, I think the advantage that Wikipedia has over traditional encyclopedias is not authoritative but rather referential. With most articles (such as historical events or scientific breakthroughs), Wikipedia converges to a pretty authoritative treatment of the subject and can be more accurate than a singe-source encyclopedia. With current events articles, Wikipedia provides a starting point for further reading (including via the citation pointers) whereas a single-source encyclopedia may be out of date and completely devoid of content on the subject.
> There's already lots of information about the details of what the fast tracking meant.

I just read this: https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-pfizer-vaccine-tra...

> The same presentation slide describes “Other benefits likely uncertain at approval and only clearer after the vaccine is used” to include the vaccine’s “long term protection,” “prevention of infection (asymptomatic cases),” and “prevention of virus transmission in the community - needs specific studies post-approval necessary to show.”

This implies they only checked it reduces symptoms in affected. Transmission prevention and long term immunity would be tested at later point.

So what was then the point of getting everyone vaccinated? Weren't vaccines supposed to contain its spread?

When I got vaccinated for various diseases, it gave long term immunity, not 4 doses over months to lessen the symptoms.
i thought the lack of support channels was that they try to work like google. Instead it's just a way of handling the scarcity of a resource - a scarce resource is a means of selling it high!

Not the op, but I guess they meant the hardware specs of a "normal" computer.

Myself I used to buy these little Atoms with eMMC running Windows S. E.g. HP used to have good hardware in that class. Now Windows S has been discontinued and I don't see much choice in the class anymore. Maybe Acer sometimes, but I have zero experience with them.

For Chromebooks there is GalliumOS, but it looks very silent. Not sure whether it is still alive. Last supported model is from 2019.

No, they said we had X months of runway and then suddenly in the past week basically said to us that it was a lie and we're essentially "on call" until (if ever) the next round comes through.

Obviously I'm aware startups run out of money and fail often, but just how the whole thing was communicated to engineering team, and even worse that we're now supposed to be cog to do some consulting for XYZ corp "but then as soon as we get funding you come back to us", that really rubbed me the wrong way. I'm a member of the "founding team" at least how it was marketed to me, and it sure doesn't feel that way.

But anyway, I've given in my notice as of today, just for the peace of mind.

Sherlock Holmes: "I see, Mr. Smith, that you are having trouble logging into your computer account. Allow me to deduce the cause of your difficulty."

Mr. Smith: "Please do, Mr. Holmes. I have been trying for the past hour and I am at my wit's end."

Holmes: "The problem, my dear Mr. Smith, lies with the CapsLock key on your keyboard. Observe the position of your fingers as you type and you will see that they are not aligned with the keys in the usual manner. This suggests to me that the CapsLock key is depressed, causing all of the letters you type to be in uppercase, which does not match the lowercase letters in your password."

> Our era of soundbite politicians vulnerable to populist measures which superficially sound reasonable

I’m deeply skeptical that this is a real problem. I mean, there’s defined a list of extremely popular issues which have no support from politicians (like a healthcare reform in US), and also a long list of unpopular policies enacted a lot of times with bipartisan support.
Sleepwalking? The UK has a fine and longstanding tradition of censorship. $current year is no exception.
Really appreaciate every single reply and all the insights, advice, and guidance. You all are very much appreciated! Going to save this post and re-read what everyone has said. Lots to think about in the coming weeks and months.
Shrug. Why spend more when 100mbit is also enough for most purposes.
What's missing from these models is everything related to visual or spatial information (that is not encoded in text). I assume that there will be eventually be something like ChatGPT/InstructGPT where part of the input data is images and or videos, with and without captions. So it would have a way of connecting the language to the spatial (and temporal).

It seems like they may need a more efficient approach though to handle the massive amount of video data. Maybe the 'MrsFormer' multi-resolution thing could help.

Another thing that could be very useful for coding without requiring visual information would be to add a whole other subsystem where this thing could actually compile/run the code iteratively and see the output.

I don't think transformers are the last invention in AI, but they certainly seem capable of getting to general purpose AI for many contexts. That and related techniques are not going to create something like a digital autonomous person though, which I think is a good thing.

So? Even if that’s true we’re talking about accusations of violating the first amendment. If people accuse Biden of that when he wasn’t even in government surely it’s much worse that the sitting President at the time Trump did the same thing.

The fact that you bring up something tangential instead pretty much shows how people don’t want to treat this rationally.

You might want to consider using a CDN like CloudFlare. The information on your site looks very cacheable.

That would reduce load because requests for the same content would get served by them rather than hitting your server directly.

Units aren't clear from a callsite, though. That's the point she is making: nobody can tell if `credit_account(123)` is crediting $1.23 or $123. In a strongly-typed world if `credit_account` took cents and the called passed dollars they'd have to explicitly cast it along the lines of `credit_account(to_cents(123))`.

(Also worth noting: never use a float to represent dollars and cents (or whatever currency) amounts because floating point precision will get you.)
s/Russia/Soviet Union/g.

The huge role of Soviet Union was pushed by the Soviet Union as part of its Great Patriotic War narrative is continued to this day by Russia's propaganda. Without the US Lend-Lease, the situation could have turned out much differently for the soviets (as even Stalin himself admitted).
That's just unfair for the competition. Are we at a point in time when we need to treat competitive programming like chess?
