Even if the data is incomplete, it's the best we have right now. To the best of our knowledge the vaccine is the best option.

Of course there's a risk cases are being undercounted or there is some long term effect we just don't know about that goes against what we know about mRNA today. But that's life unfortunately, a chain of decisions based on your best knowledge at the time some of which may turn out to be wrong.

> Color me surprised that people whose livelihood depends on recommending vaccines and COVID19 treatment end up "finding" that vaccines cause less side effects than COVID19..

One of them serves on AstraZeneca's advisory board which is not an mRNA vaccine, in fact they would benefit from overestimating the risk of myocarditis with mRNA so the AstraZeneca vaccine would compare more favorably.

Another one serves on a board to prioritize the use of monoclonal antibodies, so he benefits from people who remain unvaccinated and get hospitalized.

If anything these people have a conflict of interest to inflate the dangers of mRNA vaccines.

> The media has just been hyping up the risk to make it look like everyone could die from it for absolutely no reason.

No argument from me there, but for anyone who thought the media wasn't prone to scaremongering hasn't been paying attention during the Ebola outbreak. However even if we are in a demographic not likely to have severe cases we shouldn't ignore the real strain epidemics put on the healthcare system and the risks it poses to demographics who are vulnerable. Also have you considered some of your own sources may be hyping up the risks of mRNA vaccines?

While the vaccine is available to everyone I prefer getting it even if I'm not likely to get hospitalized. Because based on the available data it looks safe enough to me and it gives me the option to plan some days off in advance to deal with the vaccine side effects rather than suddenly getting Covid and then having to deal with being out for a week or more and having to worry about additional side effects whose severity exceeds the vaccine.
They did contact the engineering department. Maybe it would have sufficed to have a telemetry uplink back to the engineering department. Should be doable with Starlink etc. soon enough.

If there's less crypto being issued than fiat, and demand were constant as a % of people's wealth (which I admit is a big if), then crypto is bound to go up.

There is no end date to government currency debasement.
Also becomes awkward and distracting having to explain to other peoples’ lawyers (or government officials!) what those cute names represent when things go wrong.
Ah! The good old VW diesel dupe solution.
There are many reasons stone ornament is less common today (cost of labor being the primary one), but “architects not wanting to do it” is not near the top of the list. Even with CNC machining, ornamental stone is still a relatively expensive feature for a building.

The Bauhaus school was closed in 1933. Brutalism as a movement was popular from the 1950’s to the 1980’s.

The problem is, “beautiful old look” can mean many different things to many people! Also, old buildings have the advantage of survivorship bias—the cheapest/ugliest/least functional buildings usually get demolished.
> Lots of people do in fact need to gain weight

This is obviously technically true, but it's like reading "domestic violence" and thinking "ah, this must be about women beating their husbands". Yes, both directions of the problem actually exist, but one is orders of magnitude more likely.
We're talking about software service and component names. Not names in general or company names.
This whole showboating culture in our industry started mid-2000s but really accelerated badly with the arrival of Twitter. I have always felt it's a real problem. Engineering decisions in software should be driven by best practices and methodical application of the best technology; not whatever is making its way through the hype cycle.

Twitter in particular with its word limits and drive-by comment culture is supremely unsuited for technical discussions, and yet it gets used this way all the time. It's Wrong(tm).

I've worked in the industry for 25 years, and while I have social media accounts they are primarily strictly personal. Other than some LinkedIn usage in the last year while hunting for work, it's just here on HN, really. (That and a Slack for ex-Googlers, and a private Discord for some tech friends I've known since the LambdaMOO days)

Here on HN is probably the best "social networking" I've had in our industry and where I've encountered the most interesting people.

Anyways, if an employer is looking for that kind of showboating, peacock-display, it's not a job I want.
And has recently taken off in a big way - removing statues, replacing names and generally purging history.
Interesting direction, but didn't see any quantification of the impact (of eating earlier in the day) on long-term health indicators. Hopefully we will see that later if this has any substance.
You can represent yourself in court in many cases, the problem is that you will likely fail as you won't be very good at case law, abiding by all sorts of conventions and therefore lose.
If AI can help you make properly referenced arguments it might well solve a societal problem to a degree.
Another example is OpenToonz[0], which is one of the animation tools used by Studio Ghibli and developed in collaboration with Studio Ghibli, another Japanese company called Dwango, and an Italian company called Digital Video.

yes, piling up dust under the carpet could have a cute name. You don't want to pile it in the first place though
For a high-quality brew, you absolutely want to buy whole beans and grind them immediately before use. However, you definitely can buy pre-ground beans in the states or grind them in-store if the market offers a grinder. Though, I think the point of the response above is more to demonstrate that either option is impractical in waiting rooms since you either have to ask a guest to grind their own beans or serve them grounds that have likely gone stale from lack of use. Either is a subpar option.
The effect Amazon's Bar Raises have on its long term success is highly undervalued.
Not just crypto.

I've noticed Fidelity removes default graphs from dashboards or changes the time period during major market corrections. Articles urging people not to panic sell also start appearing. Here's what they emailed customers on March 5, 2020:

Historically, the economy and the stock market have bounced back and market gains made during economic expansions have far outpaced losses that occurred during recessions.
I agree with this analysis. So much of what I see in crypto is demand generation which just makes “churn” worse when folks realize they’ve invested in the wrong assets due to misleading communication.
Ask HN: Cheapest way (using cloud hosting) to livestream a file to YouTube?
I am hoping for the best way I could do this if I wanted to save money. I cant use a local setup ie my laptop. I am hoping I can upload a video to AWS S3 and then somehow stream it to youtube.

Any ideas are appreciated, thank you
robots.txt is not legally binding, neither are the "terms" on a website when it come to screen scraping or automated access.

A "robots.txt for AI" would be nothing other than a polite request that will be ignored by the vast majority of organisations.

Under the current understanding of the law and copyright, the only preventative measure is putting content behind a wall with an explicit user agreement to access it. Effectively, if it's readable by a human without having to actively agree to a license, it can be scraped and used for any purpose, as long as it's not reproduced verbatim.

What we need is a better understanding of Copywright and data mining in law. We need test cases.
There is a tab-or-space discussion around whether skipping breakfast is okay or not. Personally I feel way better when I plan to skip it for a few weeks, I feel the spark of feeling activated and feel less hungry during the day. I won't skip it on weekends I feel like I deserve that glorious breakfast though.
If you use inheritance in this way it will lead to problems as your game gets more complex.
> People are unwilling to hear this: This was a problem well before the pandemic

This is likely the biggest problem we face right now. People don't care or don't want to hear anything "negative". We call it toxic positivity.
I think this would merit a different thread, with some contextual example to turn it into a better discussion.
>Coinbase is a weird company, because it's got such an obvious comparable: CME Group. CME Group has about 3500 employees, [...] Firstly, I don't see how Coinbase needs as many people as CME.

Coinbase isn't a direct comparable to CME because CME only does the exchange function.

Coinbase combines several different types of financial institutions in the crypto space:

+ exchange : order matching engine of buy & sell -- analogous to NYSE/NASDAQ/CME

+ broker : custodian of customers' margin accounts -- like Schwab, Vanguard, Fidelity, etc

+ bank : digital wallet and loans with customers' crypto as collateral -- like JP Morgan, Bank of America

+ ecommerce payments : analogous to PayPal/VISA/MC

Even though CME deals with trading corn commodities, it is not a bank for people to use corn as collateral. Therefore a corn farmer can't go to the CME and get a loan and pay it back when he sells his crop harvest.

Regardless of all the various financial areas they're in, Coinbase got overstaffed (like many other tech companies overhired) and so they're making aggressive cuts.
As far as I can see, the business model of cryptocurrency exchanges revolves around the speculation use-case, since they profit from matching buyers and sellers of cryptocurrencies. If cryptocurrencies worked as advertised (i.e. as a peer-to-peer payments system), I don't think there would be much use for exchanges.
This is one of the hardest problems in software development, and with good reason. Naming things is how we get a handle on them, how we mark our understanding of them. It's a pivotal issue, in how it attaches our brain-maps to the problems we tackle.

How many times, as a developer, have you paused and pondered what to name a new entity? I often find the difficulty of naming a thing is directly proportional to my depth of comprehension of that thing, what it does, and the context it lives in.

With that in mind, I see naming-things-for-what-they-are as one winning strategy.

Quoting from OP:

> The problem comes in when there's a mismatch between responsibilities and names. Names are a way of expressing identity, while responsibilities are ephemeral: Your friend Sam is still Sam, even if Sam gets new responsibilities and sheds old ones.

I find this a bit misleading, since Sam is a person with agency and a unique personality, and the things we name are, well, things, with specific purposes and raisons-d'etre.

But! At the same time, OP identifies a key characteristic of things-that-persist -- scope creeps, features are added, responsibilities evolve. Naming a server "Sysyphus" may seem cheeky at first, but I'd argue that it's a better name than "Load Processing Server 2". We tend to antropomorphize things, that's one, but also - things happen over time, notable events, that create a timeline of stories which in turn build up into the coherent base of knowledge / familiarity / wisdom that ties teams together. Using "humanized" or "personalized" names pays off here, they help to glue these stories together and contribute to the institutional memory that builds up over time.

In the end, I think both approaches are valid and have their place, we just have to use our judgement as to when to use which.
Given the Washington Post is based in the US and has a majoritarily U.S.-based readership, and that almost 3 out of 4 adults in the U.S. are overweight, the general advice to lose weight is sound...

Comparatively, less than 2% of the U.S. population is underweight. And even for these people, simply gaining weight by tricking your biological clock would not be a good advice either.
yes, I sure everyone will lose work, I don't think they can survive from it...
The older I get the more I am pretty convinced that at the margin, every bodys digestive system and metabolism responds a little differently the time/frequency of meals, precise content of meals, amount of exercise, amount of sleep, etc.

Therefore there is no "one size fits all" solution outside of the general "eat a bit less, move a bit more" guidance.

It's kind of like when they interview 100+ year olds for "the tricks to a long life" and it's just inane random stuff.
Personally, I often find myself saying things like "the <lang> ecosystem" to avoid this.

I think it is fair to have a discussion about terminology and arguing with the actual meaning of terms. When there is a technical difference, it would be good to acknowledge that difference between terms. It does not hurt anyone to do that. One can still say something like: "When we communicate I will use the word x for meaning y, because it is shorter and more convenient."
Important to note when people talk about "austerity" they don't mean cuts, but cuts in the future proposed spending increases. Public spending rarely goes down in absolute terms. Even as a percentage of GDP it doesn't really go down and certainly not since COVID

People will be miserable :)

Here is a "story" why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5aQ1-Ch91E
In the US, most people are overweight, not underweight. I'm not a medical student, but I can imagine that if the average American lost 10% of their excess body weight, the improvement to their health (and subsequently public health) would be enormous. But public officials don't address this like they did when I was growing up. Now we just have this weird culture of "fat acceptance", I guess to presumably spare peoples' feelings.
Hm, at first I thought you were being unnecessarily dramatic, but vaccines have caused huge problems in chickens, where an unvaccinated chicken is now almost guaranteed to die. You could easily create a similar situation.

I'm curious what coinbase leadership has done to try and innovate in this space. they had this proclaimed vision of democratizing finance but they're just letting people buy and sell crypto.
Because the vast majority of crypto users only see it as a speculative vehicle and do not care about decentralized payments, I would guess.

Mercedes Is the First Automaker to Offer Level 3 Self-Driving in the US
Well, if you change the role of a named thing, change the name too. The role change is probably breaking many assumptions already.

You can also keep the old name around as a stub to talk to the new one, if needed (like during a transition period where it becomes deprecated).
I don't know if that mirror is going to do much.

I remember a Scientific American "Amateur Scientist" article back in 1969 or 1970 that should have been titled "high school kids build death ray" (our high school had them bound by the year). It was a CO2 laser that involved blowing glass. Several watts. Infrared, which makes it rather dangerous as you might notice it from your hand burning (Danger! Do not look into laser with remaining eye!). For infrared, regular mirrors won't work. I seem to remember the article said that glass shatters immediately when placed in the beam.

To track the satellites, you need to check their orbital elements:

I work somewhere where naming is notoriously bad both cute and descriptive. If I could wave a magic wand about naming, I would wish that people put less time into thinking about naming. You get better names that way.

A simple exercise in improv could even be applied. What's the first thing that comes to the top of your mind when you think of "X"? If majority of people say the same thing, you run with it because that's the most obvious one. Choose the obvious one.
>Perhaps we should avoid trying to understand the world around us in simple terms since we know we've got it wrong in the past?

You're saying it as some counter-argument, but I actually agree with it:

Yes. We should learn our lesson, and try to understand complex things for what they are, and map their complexity - not think that we "get them" when we only have a simplistic reductionistic version of them...

>Perhaps you could give a reason why you think the human brain is not physical system?

First, where does the question come from? Who said that I think "the human brain is not physical system"?

It not being "a computer" doesn't mean that it's not a physical system anymore than it not being "a gear mechanism" means it's not a physical system.

Second, a rock is a physical system too, but a computer can't be a rock. A rock simulation isn't a rock either: it lacks several very important attributes of rockiness.

So, the question is less about whether a brain is a physical system, than about whether modelling some physical interactions its all it takes (as opposed to the actual interactions and their "qualia").

Or even worse, whether loading a big enough statistical model is all it takes...

-- as if we have already discovered the interplays and mechanisms involved in the brain, neurons, chemical pathways, and such, and modelled them, and we're just short of enough scale with GPT.

True, but on the other hand, the people that did it are well aware of that, too. And they still do it. Although this is not Stalin's playbook, of course. Just a minor part of it.

"This article doesn't really explain _why_ eating earlier is supposedly better."

I understand then your anger and it is justified and humane. I can have a trivial focus on companies trying to make money out of climate change because in the bigger picture they are working against your beliefs and against the idea that we can solve it. they don't want to solve it they want to milk it.

we need political decisions not startups selling snake oil.
Did you look up how to pronounce it? I was mispronouncing it for like a year after seeing “Synecdoche New York” (it’s kinda pretentious, not for everyone). My coworker laughed at me when I said the name to him. I’d only ever seen it written, and did not look at a pronunciation chart. Wah wah.

Just in case anyone else is getting it wrong like I was …

A US federal agency is considering a ban on gas stoves, report says
A key difference between US and Canadian spending is that when the US spends $163 million on an American jet, the money stays within the US economy. It's essentially a roundabout economic stimulus program.

That said, big economic deals like this between the US and Canada don't happen in a vacuum either.

Our two countries have a large, complex, and mutually beneficial economic relationship.

And assuming Canada wants to maintain self-defense capability, it needs to buy the jets from somewhere. The F-35 is competitive with or superior to the competition from elsewhere in terms of price and performance.
I wonder if blocking user agents all in robots.txt and then allowing only googlebot etc. would be sufficient? At the end of the day, content rewritten (by AI or people) can still be breaking copyright law making it already illegal what OpenAI and others are doing. It's their responsibility at the end the day and not the content creator. OpenAI and others getting information online or offline should ultimately get written permission from authors or only crawl content released in the public domain. Same applies to the person who asks the AI to create content and publishes it (ie. “Please rewrite the following copyright protected content”).
> Conflating health and weight-loss is an unhealthy (pun intended) obsession of the media and society writ large.

Being overweight and diabetes are comorbidities of nearly everything, and are comorbidities of each-other for that matter. People are more overweight than ever. If anything there is not nearly enough alarm, and far too much normalization of the increasing status quo.

> Lots of people do in fact need to gain weight to become healthier.

Approximately 1.5% of US adults are underweight. Approximately 73.6% are overweight or obese.
Maybe it's borderline ridiculing (though I don't think so) but I do think I'm offering a different perspective on what's happening with AI; it's "learning", not "owning" or "taking" anything, just like a human brain (obviously not scientifically just like a human brain, exaggerated for easier understanding).

And I'm also not trying to bring people to any side, I'm not personally for or against AI learning on publicly available material, just providing a different perspective by veiling it in a slightly contrived example made with the position but "against" humans rather than AI.
