A single sourced "news story" by anyone, is a non-starter. It isn't a news story, it is hearsay. First hand testimony with fanfic levels of correlating data have caused untold misery throughout History, of late being a particular sorry swing of that pendulum.

When someone like Hersh is behind it, I expect _WAY_ more. His single source could be President Biden on the record and I'd still take issue with this.

All of this could turn out to be nearly 100% correct and it would still be irresponsible. The implications of getting this even slightly wrong are potentially catastrophic, in so many unpredictable ways.

Perhaps I'm showing my age, but I grew up learning not to F around with the implications of a land war in Europe.
You can, using the resulting output as insulation or feedstock for concrete. This is an additional path to disposal.

I know the interpretation 'stone soup' you use, however there are other parts of the world that know it in a different story, i'll tell it here.

When the english first attempted to colonize australia to Australia, an englishman noticed a native 'bush turkey' was not regularly eaten by the local native aboriginals. The englishman had tried to cook and eat them, but it ended up anything but tastey.

He asked one of the tribal elders the secret to eating them, the elder responded.

"You put a stone into the pot, you bring it to boil When its boiling you throw in the plucked bush turkey, you eat it when the stone is soft."

The lesson I take from this is "sometimes things are just going to be bad, you just gotta accept that and move on".
Make it a slider, that way users can adjust 'arrogance' to their personal tastes.
Personally I'd crank it, it's a good motivation boost to keep on my toes.
There's probably an algorithm out there that just writes financial news all day using the MadLib:

"[COMPANY] stock [RISES|FALLS] amid [NEWS]."

All you have to do is foreach company, look up whether the stock is up or down, and then copy the first news search result that comes in related to the company. Bam, you have a headline for any financial news site.

That doesn't really contradict what I said; having a family is a risky endeavor that requires a lot of trust. For some people, that's their life's ambition. If someone wants to have a large family (e.g. 5-6 kids), they're going to need to get started in their early 20s, and they're going to have to find someone they can trust because they're pretty much going to need to devote themselves to that. Or if they hope to see their grandkids' college graduation, assuming their kids have kids at the same age, the chances of that happening start dropping pretty quickly after your mid 20s. It sounds like that person is ambitious and intelligent so presumably she found someone compatible with her goals, and hopefully that will work out. I'm any case, having family be your top priority doesn't mean you're short-sighted. She's just willing to take a risk for the life she wants.

Fertility stats are easy enough to look up, and like actuarial stats, they're always unfortunate to look at. IVF can help, but it's expensive and also not a very high success rate by late 30s.

I'd recommend dropping your requirements to run on the web, and try out the fast, easy to use local GUI builder that is Lazarus/Free Pascal. It's cross platform, compiles to native code, and damned fast.

You build a form by dropping GUI elements into it, and hooking up events. It's almost trivial to build a CRUD application.

AFAICT at the time, that was more a strawman crea5ed by Musk defenders than the normal criticism/expectation of people who viewed the actions as unwise.
Someone was killed, but he may not have been ObL. This seems far-fetched, until one realizes that the entire war against Afghanistan was justified on the idea of capturing ObL, who is documented to have left Afghanistan less than a month into the war, which lasted another twenty years. Nothing makes sense, about any of this.

I'd say the living situation at home makes a big difference. You may have a good living situation and good social interactions with family at home. The camp that likes the physical office may be a lot more isolated if they had to work from home.

Ask HN: Software Devs who lost their jobs and got rehired, where did you end up?
Reading around here, it sounds like a lot of those who were laid off were thankfully able to find jobs relatively quickly. I am wondering where people are having the most luck finding jobs so I can tailor my search as I am not having much luck.
Seems like you also[1] didn’t read the above the way I intended. I meant that I find explicit opt-out (as opposed to explicit opt-in) manipulative so I don’t want to implement it, not that I oppose having the ability to opt out at all.

The difficulty, though, lies not (entirely) with the default position of the toggle, the difficulty lies with making the user think about the question which is not relevant to their immediate task and which in any case they may not have the theoretical tools or time to evaluate properly. The default position of the toggle (if “off”, as I believe it should be) matters only because an opt-in process means you either confront the user with irrelevant questions on first launch or get essentially no data.

(I called this out as a a “general” question because I meant for it to apply not only to the Go toolchain, but to general-use software like Firefox or niche but non-programmer-oriented software like Audacity.)

The systemwide daemon proposed elsethread[2] would solve this nicely as well, but I have to admit that I’ve dismissed it from my thought process more than once before, because I didn’t think we were going to get one with any reasonable usage on any platform. Now that I’ve seen it put in writing, maybe it does deserve to be considered.

The fundamental benefit of Youtube is that it is perhaps the only social media platform, along with Instagram and Onlyfans, that has figured out how to create an ecosystem where creators are sufficiently compensated in a way that sustains careers.

The problem here was only ever partly technological, and the rest is a business problem. On one end, you have the ability of Youtube to store huge amounts of video, transcode it, and then serve it to basically every corner of the globe, eating up significant portions of global bandwidth doing so, all with incredibly low tail latency (load up random 0-view videos and they still load quickly).

On the other, you have creators actually getting paid. Yes, they're not paid very much, and yes there are endless issues with advertisers getting unhappy or creators complaining about content policy, but by and large it's sustained an incredibly diverse ecosystem of people making videos because enough people watch them to make it a living. That's not to add the embedded advertising that usually pays much more than YT's own ads.

Any platform that wants to compete must solve all these problems simultaneously: can you serve video at global scale, not go bankrupt doing it, and split enough of your money video creators that they actually want to host their videos with you.

The problem is as much with the business model as it is technological, and anybody that tries to build a better youtube just by throwing code at the problem is doomed to fail.

And then after you have all of that you still end up with the network effect: YT has all the users and all the video, and it's a self-reinforcing system where one begets the other.

OP-Z and OP–1 are completely different use cases, in fact in many ways the OP-Z is more powerful that the OP-1. The video aspects of the OP-z coupled with the way it's put together from a mixing perspective make it perfect for live multimedia shows. The OP-1 is an amazing deck for making and producing full tracks. They're different tools.
Thanks for the detailed feedback, I appreciate it!

I plan on writing more about all the topics you mentioned, and add docs for writing adapters and queries. I was planning on doing a "Show HN" when more of that was in place, but I'm not the OP here -- someone else submitted it :) Obviously all of the below needs to be more discoverable, and is something I'll work on!

Here are the slides from my talk from the HYTRADBOI conference last year, containing some more real-world query use cases: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1foUdlEDOQ1WcTadhAxsA...

This is the current stable adapter API: it's a trait that adapters need to implement https://docs.rs/trustfall_core/latest/trustfall_core/interpr...

It's also available in the Python bindings: https://github.com/obi1kenobi/trustfall/blob/pytrustfall-v0....

Tl;Dr of the optimizations API is that every call into the adapter gets a reference to a `QueryInfo` struct. It's totally safe to ignore if the adapter isn't interested in optimizing, and otherwise allows the adapter to ask questions like "from this location in the query, will future operations include traversing edge X and then filtering on property Y?" If so, it's possible to use the API to resolve the expected values for that Y property and use them to speed up the lookup, as in the case with the hashtables in cargo-semver-checks.

The optimizations API is still pretty raw and I didn't want to dig into it too much in that post (which is mostly about cargo-semver-checks' architecture, not just Trustfall internals) in case it changed dramatically. If you really want to see the current state of the API, here's a link to the draft PR: https://github.com/obi1kenobi/trustfall/pull/131/files#diff-...

The Quanta article is talking about something different from what I was describing.

What I was describing is a consequence of the way Paxlovid works: it doesn't "kill" the virus or get your immune system to kill it, it just stops the last step of virus assembly inside cells by inhibiting the enzyme, protease, that catalyzes that step. So while you are taking Paxlovid the virus can still go through all the stages of getting inside cells (the normal way, not the different way described in the Quanta article--each virus particle just infects one cell and does all of its replication there), replicating its RNA there, and expressing all of the proteins that form a complete virus particle along with the RNA; it just can't do the very last step, assembling all of those pieces into more complete virus particles, while the protease inhibitor from Paxlovid is present. But once you stop Paxlovid, the protease inhibitor goes away and all of those virus pieces can now assemble (each set of pieces inside a single cell) to become full virus particles that can infect more cells.
> It's obvious looking at the data that vaccines reduce transmission.

Really? I don't think I know a single person who got vaccinated and didn't get COVID again, several times in some cases.
Hm, this ignores several realities, such as central banks getting their money for free from the government. But, I'm not going to nitpick.
I am curious if you can draw any comparisons with Calcite? I think Calcite's target (mainly just databases) is more limited, but it probably tackles similar problems regarding query planning/optimization? Other thoughts?
Now Win 11 is a data hog... It's great for collecting and transmitting personal user data and ads... Fair trade. You never really notice unless you work off of a hotspot that has a data cap on it though, so there's that.

A brief interview with Tcl creator John Ousterhout
I blame Microsoft for requiring reboots for updates and making those reboots destructive to my state. If I could go to bed at night and know that everything will be where I left it in the morning, that would be fine. I can't, so I take extraordinary measures to ensure that my computer remains under my control. Up until fairly recently it rebooted while under active use; something which is never acceptable. No update ever made is that important.

It updates when I say it updates, and not a moment before. Congress and Microsoft can GFT if they don't like it.
which article please?

I didn't know people meant chatboxes when they were talking about the AI box experiment. ;)
That was because of the great recession. Those numbers are petering out and will soon drop off a cliff.

There is a bitch slap of boomers and beleaguered birth rate around the corner.

The meager birth rate and dying boomers are real world paychecks and tax revenue drying up. Society is going to change drastically, and it will seem all at once.

All the corps are going to have to pull back when those boomers stop spending and there aren't enough feeders to replace them.
I tried installing the chrome extension but it kept complaining about login. I am already logged into my chat gpt account.
FWIW, I've genuinely spent time trying to use it, and I've never managed to run any non-trivial query on it without having it time out. SPARQL is very expressive, but its implementations seem impossible to optimize and as a result impossible to use because they have to be locked down so tight.
Is there a version of this which shows a plan like in The Producers, where Elon appears, in good faith, to ruin Twitter until it goes bankrupt, absolving him of having to pay them back?

>> Why do you think that it does.

Because the twitter bots says so. Twitter amplifies extreemist views. In this case it has agin amplified extreem opinions, convincing someone that an extreem is actually a norm. That person then amplifies that in anohter froum, where a twitter bot or ai will no doubt pick it up, returm it to twitter and repeat the cycle.
Depends what you're doing with them. A value at risk calculation gives you a currency-dimensioned result that's hard to represent exactly, for example.
>Thanks, Vietnam was over in '75, Stoltenberg was 16 then. It's just all so absurd.

Not necessarily.

I had thought Hersh's "since the Vietnam War" line to be poorly phrased, or an editing mistake, but /u/michaelmacmanus makes an interesting point <https://np.reddit.com/r/stupidpol/comments/10wx42b/seymour_h...>. Maybe we should take the line literally!
> you are pushing something that nobody sane would believe: major owners of a company would have no say in the company steering and management??

No. I’m saying you’re just wrong about them being major owners. If it was true, you’d be able to easily show us some evidence.

Blackrock and Vanguard are minority shareholders in the companies you list and don’t have enough votes to control the boards or fire executives.

You are simply making false claims about who owns these companies. That’s all that’s happening.
That's fair, but doesn't take away from the deeply, deeply exhausting need to do this sort of niche configuration thing for everything out there, let alone even recognizing that it's needed. Never mind the unduly need to read changelogs and blog posts to make sure things haven't changed since I last used things.

Have you considered using a more-generic opt-out environment variable that's not go specific? For example "USER_PREF_NO_TELEMETRY=true" would have the same effect, or would ensure that GOTELEMETRY=off is set. I have no idea if anything like that exists right now in other projects, but if it's not, then go is large enough and embedded across enough systems that it could be a good place to start.
I generated a bunch of variations and eventually got something kinda close to your source, but it seems pretty hit or miss: https://i.pica.so/b014bb2f-ca05-499a-a4da-1d178f49bb06.jpg https://i.pica.so/5ee6e122-c2a4-44a7-8ae9-ecec24da0246.jpg

I don't believe this is true. I can't square creating something that can be duplicated essentially for free to provide value to people with denying that value to people in order to enrich myself.
The vaccines do NOT do the same thing. Molnupiravir directly modifies the RNA in the SARS-CoV-2 active in the patient's body. That vaccines can serve as a forcing function for viruses is not new information, but so does immunity from previous infections, and vaccination comes with the benefit of preventing a non-zero number of infections and transmissions relative to immunity from previous infection. Vaccines in general, including the COVID vaccines, remain the single best tool for disease prevention.

This is no different than treason, hiring a hitman, fraud or libel. The founders did not consider any of those to be free speech as well. Everybody at the time understood obscenity was not protected so there was no need to explicitly call it out as an exception.
That is not what the FDA source you linked to says. You either had a massive error in comprehension or are deliberately misleading others.

What the FDA said, simplified, is there is no evidence either way whether a breakthrough COVID case in a vaccinated person poses a greater risk of infection to other vaccinated people, BUT past vaccinations have shown that those other vaccinated people are still protected and therefore that should be the assumption here until refuted.

Original:

Q: If a person has received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, will the vaccine protect against transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from individuals who are infected despite vaccination?

A: Most vaccines that protect from viral illnesses also reduce transmission of the virus that causes the disease by those who are vaccinated. While it is hoped this will be the case, the scientific community does not yet know if the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine will reduce such transmission.
