No I don’t need to balance anything based on your criteria. I and I alone decide what goes into my body. Anyone who is scared to walk outside and face hundreds of thousands of pathogens on a daily basis should remain at home. If you want a vaccine, go ahead and get one.
I don't know if I'm working hard or not, honestly, but I'm afraid of finding out because I probably am, which would imply I am not competitive enough with other people, generally.

I had one of the lowest SAT scores in my class, failed out of an engineering degree despite trying. Why would I not have a low IQ?

I genuinely hope so much to live for, I do, I hold on to hope as dear life allows me to, but comparing myself to my peers, old classmates and everyone makes me feel like someone who probably is a mistake in life.
Ok this addition was just so cool, thank you for adding it!
> Standardized autopsies were performed on 25 persons who had died unexpectedly and within 20 days after anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.

Sample size of 25 out of a population of... how many tens of millions of young (EDIT: not actually young) men? Seems quite small, and perhaps not sufficient to draw any conclusions. I wonder what the results will show...

> myocarditis is another manifestation reported during SARS-CoV-2-infection [24]. It is under debate whether myocarditis in COVID-19 is primarily caused by the viral infection or whether it occurs secondary as a consequence of the host´s immune response, in particular by T-lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity or as a consequence of the cytokine storm observed during COVID-19 [25].

Interesting!

> Finally, we cannot provide a definitive functional proof or a direct causal link between vaccination and myocarditis. Further studies and extended registry are needed to identify persons at risk for this potentially fatal AEFI and may be aided by detailed clinical, serological, and molecular analyses which were beyond the scope of this study.

So in total, out of 25 young men, 20 showed signs of cardiac damage. It's suggestive and merits more research. On the other hand, the authors offer no real ideas about how the damage could have happened, other than to observe that since similar damage happens as a result of COVID-19, maybe the immune response is the culprit (provoked by the vaccine, similarly as by the disease).

Far from any sort of smoking gun. It's important to keep that in mind.
Maybe the argument is or should be about who is on a plane rather than where the plane might be.

Expanding the concept beyond Elon, I personally don't like the idea of anyone being hounded by elements unknown just because of being famous. Do actors have the right to travel with their kids an not be mauled? I think they should have that right.

There seems to be this general idea these days that acting like a complete jerk and without one ounce of civility is now acceptable. Harass people at restaurants, threaten to hurt politicians and their families, stalk actors and celebrities, burn down entire business districts, etc. What the hell is wrong with people?
I was able to find his Medium page by looking up "henrylim96 medium". What's troubling to me is that this isn't some trigger-happy autoban - someone had to actively seek him out. It could have been someone who "snitched" on him, or (I suspect) a Medium employee.

In the short term yes, in the long term, that is not known.
You might not like that the exemption exists, but it's legal in the USA. Would you rather that religious beliefs were not respected by the government?
>There were very good indications that the vaccine would prevent spread.

Now that we know that to be not true, do you support removing the covid jab from the schedule required in school?
> For it to be a reasonable choice to not want to take the vaccine wouldn't you need to balance the risk of death / complications from the vaccine against the risk of death / complications from covid multiplied by the risk of getting covid?

Reasonable is subjective. I got the covid vaccine and had no concern for side effects. But I, like most people, don't bother getting the flu shot every year and I think that's perfectly reasonable despite me having no qualms about side effects. I simply don't care about the flu. Not getting the flu shot is one less reoccurring chore in my life that I don't have to bother with.
Agree to disagree, I guess. I'd rather give the benefit of the doubt to those acting on the best information available at the time rather than "influencers" raising "concerns" based on nothing but their gut instincts.

Or to put it another way, how many vaccine skeptics were pushing for the heavy use of masks, better HVAC systems in buildings, and social distancing when possible? Because I've noticed a large correlation between those that spoke out against vaccines and those that spoke out against any preventative measures at all - regardless of how benign.
But in the intro:
>> Thus, myocarditis can be a potentially lethal complication following mRNA-based anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.

I would assume that means there is something going on.

To your point, medical researchers are IMHO kind of bad at accepting reality if they don't have a complete understanding. So if data show death by specific cause after vaccination, they will reject that conclusion if there is no proven mechanism for it. Rather than critique the study, they simply demand more information than anyone has.
If you’re in a regulated industry and required to run FIPS validated modules in FIPS mode, usually you lose access to system implementations of the removed algorithm.
Effects of Mindfulness Training&Exercise on Cognitive Function in Older Adults
The data on myocarditis has been clear and significant for quite some time: 1 in approximately 5000 young men under 40 by shot two. Without a full understanding of the underlying mechanism of action, we can’t be that confident of number of deaths due to the vaccine, but given the size of the deployed population and the recurrent nature of the shots it’s not unreasonable to think we killed tens of thousands of people with them.

This is my vote for PR of the year in open source! Holy shit. There's amazing thing after amazing tbing listed.

> Latency. With WebRTC we are able to achieve sub second latency. With our initial measurements we see ~120 Milliseconds from Broadcaster to Playback. We believe we can continue to bring down this number as well.

More speculative, but awesome futures here that OBS will either adopt or eventually fall on the wayside to a worthy competitor on:

> Broadcast at all angles. WebRTC supports multiple video streams in the same session. OBS could experiment with broadcasting multiple scenes at once! Viewers could then switch between scenes or different views in the same game.

> Simulcast. WebRTC allows broadcasters to upload multiple streams of different quality. OBS users could upload high, med, and low streams themselves.*

Also notable Rust based, working via FFI. Is this the first Rust in OBS?

Im trying to understand a little deeper how this implementation works. There's seemingly some hardware encoding support, but as compared to using something general & flexible like gstreamer it seems a bit more hardcoded, and embedded in webrtc-rs. Not the worst I guess.

It also has this somewhat odd "whip" output, where it dumps the stream via http. Im not sure if that is the only output right now. This targets some CDN systems, which then host/peer over actual CDN. Calling this webrtc feels a little weird but ok.
Hayk! How smart are you! I loved your work on SymForce and Skydio - totally wasn't expecting you to be co-author on this!

On a serious note, I'd really love some advice from you on time management and how you get so much done? I love Skydio and the problems you are solving, especially on the autonomy front, are HARD. You are the VP of Autonomy there and yet also managed to get this done! You are clearly doing something right. Teach us, senpai!
You could also make them very wide and inflexible. Larger boats can handle stormy weather and big swells if they face into the waves because their hulls are longer than the wavelength between waves.

I thought it wasn’t the highest risk group for myocarditis, just the lowest risk for covid which makes it the highest relative risk?
Other than legacy stuff, I think the main reason programmers still use it is the fact that '1' is easier for them to call to mind than '256', or whatever else. So when you're throwing a script together really quickly, you'll prefer to type SHA1 instead of anything else. At least that's how my brain works.

Although I'm betting it's better to just radically cut demand rather than try to invent a really good carbon-neutral/negative concrete. If we could sink a whole bunch of carbon into concrete though (significant carbon capture -> magic? -> concrete), that would be cool though.

That's a really uncomfortable fact with a lot of climate issues: it's way better to just not do the thing instead of trying to find a neutral/net-negative carbon process for the thing.

Super! Makes sense since Skydio is also amazing.

How much data is used for fine tuning? Since spectrograms are (surely?) very out of distribution for the pre training dataset, how much does value does the pre training really bring?

COVID is much less dangerous to younger people but there are still very real risks involved, especially non-lethal ones. Assuming a 25% probability of catching it, how are you coming to the conclusion that the risk of the vaccine is higher?

>in what ways can it become more severe

Spitballing a few ways it could be? Right now all reddit users have the same rights and privileges to use any subreddit. I expect this to change and all these rights are going to get parcelled out, including:

• Pay-to-access subreddits which would have “curated content” or education materials in them

• Subreddit subscriptions which would allow or require ongoing monthly payments to have subscriber permissions granting special feature access.

It can come with post visibility increases (you can upsell this), both algorithmic and graphically on the interface, options for more powerful voting rights on polls and posts, gated posting rights etc., and would be upsold to creators as a value-add they’d push on their audience

• User “blue checkmarks” - you pay money for some kind of proof of identity

• Paid “super” upvoting - perhaps “pay 10 bucks, and we add 100 upvotes to your posts, no questions asked”

• Charge for subreddit creation or growth - limited mod slots, limited subreddits per person, and no creating subreddits over a certain size without paying up

The above are the “nice changes”, you can go meaner but I’d be worried about giving them ideas.

Yup. I consider runtime reflection an antifeature, which has negative performance effects, is unsafe (see e.g. log4j) and leads to fragile code.

You’re just cherry picking - there have been plenty of people raising basic concerns about the bioethics of mandating an emergency use medicine using a new technology for a rapidly evolving respiratory virus.

> Remember, COVID hasn't been shown to be particularly dangerous to young people...

Having seen the impact of covid on young family members and others in my extended social circles, I believe that there's a long tail of effects that we won't be able to see the full picture of for years to come. There's a lot more that should be considered in the decision than just risk of death.
> You can't just remove roads in the middle of cities

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeway_removal

Plenty of other info online describing various successful transformation projects that basically involved getting rid of car-based (or worse, car-exclusive) infrastructure. My main point is that it doesn't need to be replaced with something where cars aren't allowed at all, just with infrastructure that gives equal priority to all modes of getting around. And it's just not removal, I'd hope to see that as a guiding policy for the building of new urban developments too (sadly we're still someway off that in Australia - most of that occurs on the city fringes and further entrenches car-dependency).
That's not what it says. I will give you an example. Before the 1980s or so when the first serious studies on second-hand smoke exposure were conducted, anybody could have also written that "we cannot provide a definitive causal link between second-hand smoke and lung cancer." Today, it is common sense.
Yes, Discogs is basically the IMDb of musical recordings. Its marketplace is probably the best place on the internet to find and sell physical copies of pretty much any musical recording.

The existing solutions are fine, though. The reason we got into this mess in the first place was because we thought a centralized service would enable greater interaction than RSS provided. All we got was a lame 140 characters and an edit button a decade later. Then some asshole bought it and kicked everyone back to square one. The solution isn't 'building another monolith with better moderation', it's upsetting the unified architecture in the first place. Twitter's centralization was a design concession that is past it's time.

It's a shame people keep using that Dropbox example too. I've seen hundreds of people use iCloud and Google Drive over the years, but maybe 2 people total who used Dropbox.

A large monitor for me is a 28 inch 4K unit, so exactly the same pixel pitch as my 14" 1920x1080 laptop. It is near the edge of me being able to resolve individual high-contrast pixels versus seeing them averaged together.

The distance from eyes to a desktop screen for me is around 30 inches. A laptop might be around 25 inches, depending on where or how I sit. I am relatively tall, so "arms length" for me is further away than for some people and I have a long lap too...

I know this because I am in my late 40s and have recently quantified such things for my optometrist! I recommend getting "computer glasses" with an appropriate near-middle distance prescription, if you are experiencing presbyopia.
Exactly right. And considering how many here do appreciate Amazon's position here, to me, it just shows Amazon/ e-commerce web sites have conditioned tons of users to find terrible user experience agreeable.
I’m having trouble understanding how that second amendment passed. The first one didn’t so the total number of shares didn’t change, right? So how did he get the second one through, legally speaking?

Not at all trying to argue here, I’m trying to understand how this all works. It sounds like he just spoofed his way into diluting your shares which will fall apart in 5 minutes before a judge, should be an open and shut case but given the other comments here, it’s clearly not, which means I’m missing something.
From OC:

> wouldn't you need to balance the risk of death / complications from the vaccine against the risk of death / complications from covid multiplied by the risk of getting covid?

For certain demographics the probability of getting infected might be that low, but at least in every social young adult I know, the risk is averaged to well over 1.0. I've been infected twice, before and after the jab, and in both cases the infection was worse (months of recovery, VO2Max reduction) than the acute vaccine side effects (weekend of feeling shitty). Pre-vaccine I'd say it took around 5 months to fully feel recovered, e.g. able to run a 4-miler without feeling like passing out, where-as post-vaccine and prior infection I was well recovered at the 6-week mark.
The window style `Default-4.4` does the same. Incredibly useful.
The original padding, as bits, was 100000...0001

The new padding prepends either 01, 11, or 1111 depending on the variant of SHA-3. That way the different variants don't sometimes give the same [partial] hash.

It was weird to toss that in at the last second but there's no room for a backdoor there.

I had blood test proof of antibodies but its just about "feel goods".

And they didn't require boosters, just the first 2 doses from over a year ago, so yes its non-sensical and purely political (not based on science).
It's alarming just how plausible each one of these is.

OSM data is licensed via the Open Database License (ODbL) - of particular interest to the folks in this consortium is the `share-alike` provision of that license, which posits that you can make derivative databases of the data (such as augmenting it with other data/metadata) as long as you assign the ODbL to the derivative data.

This is a problem if you have proprietary data that you want to use to augment OSM. Some interpretation here: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Licence_and_Lega...?

tl;dr from that document:
