I don't think it's a matter of blindly curating bot output.

I think it's more a matter of enlarging the scope of what one person can manage. I think moving from the pure manual labor era, limited by how much weight a human body could move from point A to point B, to the steam engine era. Railroads totally wrecked the industry of people moving things on their backs or in mule trains, and that wasn't a bad thing.

> Don't expect an early retirement or a more relaxed job..

That's kinda my point, I don't think this is going to make less work, it'll turbocharge productivity. When has an industry ever found a way to increase productivity and just said cool, now we'll keep the status quo with our output and work less?
Not for an emergency use drug that doesn’t maintain herd immunity for a disease that is minimally harmful to children and is under immense selective pressure to break out of the vaccine.

Maybe you’ve got a bad mental model because of the word “vaccine.” This is not a vaccine of the kind we give children, in terms of what it prevents and the extent of data and knowledge we have of its side effects.
I have seven words for you: "I...love...goolibib's integrated multi-platform functionality!"
The comment you replied to didn't mention mandates of any sort. It started with:

> For it to be a reasonable choice to not want to take the vaccine

"Basically everyone should get the vaccine" is a meaningfully different statement from "we should force people to get the vaccine".

Also, whether a person can be reasonable while making unreasonable choices isn't really the point either. The most reasonable option on this particular choice for the overwhelming majority pretty clearly seems to be to get the vaccine. It is similarly disingenuous to move the goal posts from "the most reasonable decision is to get the vaccine" to "you are an unreasonable person to not get the vaccine".
Some thoughts:

1. We know for a fact that mangroves can mitigate tsunami damage. I've been looking into this and a lot of tree-planting programs really suck and are basically failures. Additionally mangroves are tropical plants and -- so far -- I am failing to find an alternative for colder climates.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/10/051028141252.h...

2. We certainly need energy solutions and I'm happy to see people work on that, but we could use more companies working on passive solar solutions as well. Most passive solar solutions are best implemented from the get go (from breaking ground on a new building), but some can be added after the fact. There is likely lots of low-hanging fruit in that second category.

3. Middle-eastern countries and their architectural traditions have many practices that help mitigate heat levels inside buildings and even at street level. These seem to be largely unknown outside such countries and we are missing a huge opportunity to export or adapt such traditions to other places to try to adapt to hotter temps.
Shipped with AI – Weekly, focused AI commentary for builders and investors
Hey folks!

I'm in the AI space like a lot of you. And while I've found the rate of change exciting, I've also found it disorienting.

So I created this Substack to help me process it.

Rather than try to tell you EVERYTHING that's going on, I pick a tight theme, find 5 cool projects related to it, and then unpack what's going on through that lens.

My goal is for it to be an editorial, of sorts, for fellow builders & investors. And a celebration of awesome projects no matter how large or small.

> Of note, it has been recently reported that intravenous injection of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine is able to induce an acute (epi-) myocarditis in a preclinical model

There have been lots of vaccinations shown in various TV reports over the last years. Watching carefully, there's two different variants: a) jab, aspirate, inject, b) jab, inject. Maybe it is just stock footage and not from covid shots, and everyone has been checking carefully for not finding blood?
Not every system. Some systems can detect gaming, and fight back, like a body's immune system.

I expect that the reason it gave the correct answer to your first question is simply that it already saw the problem and memorized the solution - there is some empirical evidence that deep neural networks are able to memorize much of their training data.
so, if I'm already paying for midjourney does this come along for the ride?
Yes. Complication from jab administration is something that has been widely discussed (not widely reported though). The clinical trials were supposed to show that the jab (and therefore the mRNA, and the resultant spike protein generated, which is known to be toxic) stayed in the muscle local to the injection site.

What is widely speculated is that on some not-insubstantial portion of injections, the jab makes it into the bloodstream. This would explain why we see spike protein collecting in the heart, reproductive organs and other parts of the body.

And because of how the jab works - inducing spike protein genesis as well as an immune response - when the immune system finds spike protein on the cells that are creating it (supposed to be just your arm muscle but ends up being your heart and other things), it starts attacking those cells. Which leads to inflammation, blood clots, etc.
That is date after which purchase of _new_ software with SHA-1 will be forbidden, which seems late given that it takes only two months on GPU to find signature collision with a chosen prefix.

Show HN: Venba – An infinite editor and workspace for poets
Hello HN,

This year, I decided to try something new and attended a generative workshop on writing prose poetry. It was a riot, I had a lot of fun and got a few of my poems published in some cool magazines.

The submission process was totally unfun though. The entire process revolves around Word documents and copy pasting stuff all over. So, I decided to build a tool to automate it as much as possible. I have optimized the most painful parts of the process and I believe it has the potential to become a lot more.

----

It is a local-only, browser / PWA where you get an infinite canvas to organize your poetry. There are a few writing tools to aid you in writing poetry, but the current version is mostly focused on getting the writing and submission workflow fine-tuned.

I agree it is good we keep funding studies to try to better understand and predict the effects of the vaccines. What would it mean to feel like we have a good understanding though? How would we quantify "god"? We have observed that the side-effects have minimal deviation from the normal variations observed in the population for those effects. And we also know it is highly dependent on individual characteristics as to who exhibits the worst side-effects or best antibody response.
Yep. I'm now estranged from half my extended family because of the awful way they treated my unvaccinated brother. They invited him to visit for Thanksgiving, knowing he was unvaccinated and saying it was okay. Then after he drove 8 hours to visit, they changed their mind and wouldn't let him into their house. They gave him a sandwich and told him to eat it on the porch. They're dead to me after that.

Well, when I registered an LLC in the US, Google mailed me a postcard to confirm my address, and third-party providers begin calling to help "claim my Google listing". So they've really created an ecosystem that you immediately become part of rather than something you have to seek out. Edit: I also completely agree that this is what drives the monopoly.
you're presupposing that your experience of cash transactions is and should be everyone's experience of cash transactions. Yes, many normal people sometimes conduct business with larger amounts of cash over 10k euros, which by the way isn't all that much anymore. And even if this is unusual, banning the unusual is a terrible way to run laws. If you defend financial privacy, I can't see how you could defend such an idiotic and intrusive law.

>Is that a fancy way of saying tax evasion should be legal? Any transaction of that size represents a significant piece of income for someone.

No, it's a way of defending the basic idea that the state's right to squeeze every penny and justify any law in the name of being able to do so shouldn't be automatically unquestioned. You saying that this cash amount represents a significant piece of income for someone takes as given that the cash in question is being laundered or used for evasion. Do you really believe that this should be a default assumption, or that it's right for the government to assume such guilt just because money is present in someone's daily business? Imagine if all legal issues were handled in such a disgusting way. For some reason, too many people put on emotional blinders and with tax law, ignore how barbarically stupid that is if any respect for presumptions of innocence exists.

You are certainly naive about how reliable government is about being able to pry into everything financial, or how absolute should be its right to squeeze for any amount of money.
Speaking of cargo remove, see also cargo-edit [0] from which adding and removing originally came, as well as cargo-binstall [1] which installs binaries rather than compiling from source every time. The binaries are updatable with cargo-update [2].

The latter two can replace a package manager for Rust related utilities, as I often find that those in OS package repositories are often not as up to date as directly from cargo.

Zwave talks on 800-900MhZ and doesn't share medium with ethernet frames, so there isn't a concept of VLANs.

Setting up reliable and reproducible performance environments is as much work as running good quality prod systems. It requires monitoring thing rarely available to monitor, extending prod metrics, creating snapshots, running repeatable tests on different scales. This isn't work for a single person. I'm in a team of 7 working to acquire next customer who will be on average 5x bigger than peaks of our current biggest customer. We've been designing, configuring and creating metrics on EKS since September, alongside training devs and developing performance engineering framework in k6. Lichess doesn't need that much effort and accuracy, but it's still lots of work. Did you know Fargate will schedule you Intel Skylake or Broadwell and there's even 30% difference in performance between them on certain tasks?

Phase is crtical for pitch. Here is why. The spectral transformation breaks up the signal into frequency bins. The frequency bins are not accurate enough to convey pitch properly. When a periodic signal is put through a FFT, it will land into a particular frequency bin. Say that the frequency of the signal is right in the middle of that bin. If you vary its pitch a little bit, it will still hand into the same bin. Knowing the amplitude of the bin doesn't give you the exact pitch. The phase information will not give it to you either. However, between successife FFT samples, the phase will rotate. The more off-center the frequency is, the more the phase rotates. If the signal is dead center, then each successive FFT frame will show the same phase. When it is off center, the waveform shifts relative to the window, and so the phase changes for every sample. From the rotating phase, you can determine the pitch of that signal with great accuracy.

It's limited to charitable, religious, educational, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, fostering national or international amateur sports competition, and preventing cruelty to children or animals.

I guess you could argue promoting cigarette use is "educational" or perhaps "religious" if a cigarette-smoking cult existed a la The Leftovers, but I suspect it would be a hard sell in today's environment, given the scientific and social consensus on the dangers of smoking, especially if your day job is selling the things.

Maybe you could make it fly by using the funds to buy cigarettes and gift them to the homeless?

What goals I wonder? Do you mean like a slogan or a project with a name such as one belt '一带一路'. Well I don't think one should only generate hypotheses based on satellite images alone surely.
I’m not drawing conclusions - you invented that claim. The data I’m referring to is available in several other studies, with regards to estimated myocarditis rates in young men. But if you agree with me that it’s not unreasonable to think that is the scope of fatalities, I would urge you to integrate that new prior into things like the ethics of mandating this drug for college.
The problem here isn't the study---of course we should study possible vaccine side effects. The problem is the massive leaps of logic being made by people who have (quite wrongly, based on available evidence) become convinced that the vaccines are a greater threat to healthy people than the virus is. As unlikely as it is that an otherwise healthy young person will die from covid, it is even less likely that they'll die from a vaccine side effect. That's just a statistical fact at this point, we have millions of both covid cases and vaccinations to back that up.

This study looked at 25 cases of unexpected death in people aged 46-75 and found 5 cases of myocarditis. Without any control group to compare to, there is literally nothing that can be drawn from this study about the risk presented by the vaccine, and the authors admit as much:

"The nature of our autopsy study necessitates that the data are descriptive in quality and does not allow any epidemiological conclusions in terms of incidence or risk estimation."
But had lower incidence of hospitalization.
> (When one editor started asking authors to add their raw data after they submitted a paper to his journal, half of them declined and retracted their submissions. This suggests, in the editor’s words, “a possibility that the raw data did not exist from the beginning.”)

I'm not a researcher, but I've interviewed a lot of researchers in the context of data sharing. I'd go out on a limb and attribute this reluctance not to lack of any dataset whatsoever in most cases, but to a feeling of ownership over your "IP", and an instinct to protect it. In a niche scientific domain, it's not totally paranoid to worry that you could be giving your data to the competition. I heard this again and again, though mostly it was everyone else who did it, not the interview subject...

There's also just the work involved in getting the data in shape to send to people, which can be a pain in the butt.
I'm in a similar boat. I usually ask beforehand if letting me do a take-home version of the live coding challenge is a reasonable accommodation. It gets mixed results. Some say that it's no problem as long as I turn it in that day. Others refuse to consider it. Predictably, I fail to perform adequately in those interviews, and they don't give me an offer. This seems like a big waste of everyone's time, but tech hiring processes are notoriously great at wasting people's time.
What's going on in radv?

Valve did kick out llvm with aco (which is faaaaaar less worse than the former, I wish it was plain and simple C).

But now, I see some stuff (KHR "acceleration structure") pulling that horrible glslang compiler from khronos into the SDK.

If hardware specific shaders are to be required for some vulkan fancy APIs where no silicium blocks is available, they should be written in GCN/RDNA|SPIR-V code with plain and simple C coded assembler.
What this article does describe, is how the fatal "adverse events" take place. It's useful to deepen our understanding of the mechanisms of action for undesireable outcomes. And of course it's one piece of a much larger puzzle.

Some seem to be interpreting this article as a confirmation that vaccines are inherently not safe. The thing is, every therapy, whether preventative or curative carries an element of risk. This paper is not weighing on the relative safety of the immunization.

To someone uncomfortable with the vaccine, this is of course unsettling to discuss, as it reinforces a fear. It's akin to discussing how exactly people's organs got smashed when they got killed by getting ran over by a bus. People who distrust busses will further cement their fears about them.
I would prefer the government was completely indifferent to religious beliefs. Because any belief can be construed as religious if you’re willing to take the position that religion is stupid and you don’t care about optics.

You know what also causes myocarditis? COVID-19 [1].

So the choices were:

1. Don't pressure young people to get vaccinated. Nearly everyone who's unvaccinated eventually catches COVID-19. Some of them would have severe reactions and die; or spend time in a hospital, taking up space and delaying care for others, causing those other people to die. Nearly all of them would pass COVID-19 on to other people, many of whom would be older and die. Some of them would develop myocarditis and die.

2. Pressure young people to be vaccinated for COVID-19. Some of them would develop myocarditis and die.

#2 is strictly better than #1.

Sometimes in life there are no good options; only not-so-great options and very bad options.
