You're comparing apples with oranges.

The majority of the serious adverse effects reported in the original trials the first paper rehashes (15.1 effects per 10000 above a 6.4 effect per 10000 placebo baseline with some people reporting multiple effects, after the authors stripped out SAE's where the placebo group reported worse outcomes...) did not involve hospitalisation, never mind intubation.

And a significant proportion of COVID infections that do not require hospitalisation (i.e not counted in the NNV metric) nevertheless involve serious adverse effects including both those credibly associated with vaccine side effects but more commonly in symptomatic COVID patients (myocarditis) and those not thought to have any association with the vaccine such as long term brain fog. The vaccines were found to have a high efficacy at reducing these types of symptomatic infections though....

More generally and unfortunately for the cranks, its noticeable that excess deaths and hospitalisation peaks follow COVID infection spikes, not the ramp up of vaccinations, and have declined considerably since the vaccination programmes began. It's almost like the professionals know better than someone who thinks influenza is a coronavirus...

> When we say obese, it's the later one.

Really?

Would you mind telling that to my former doctor who wrote down in my chart that I was “obese” just based on my height, weight, and a quick visual scan? She was starting into “substantial lifestyle change” talks before I showed her my data.

She didn’t reverse course until I showed her my dexa scan and told her my diet and exercise regimen.

My point is that there are plenty of people who are labeled a category or two worse than they actually are. Yes, many people are actually obese — I get that — but people who are naturally muscular quickly grow tired of (and sometimes numb to) being categorized as worse than they actually are.

Folks who talk about obesity, especially medical folks and media folks, would do well to be more nuanced in their analysis and discussion of the data.
> Absolutely if influenza were as fatal as rabies we would be extinct.

The chance that it would evolve to be as infectious would be greatly reduced. They teach this in first semester immunology.

I actually do know what I'm talking about.

> 1. SARS-CoV-2 is not influenza.
> 2. Influenza is not a coronavirus.

I know. It's a flu-like respiratory illness from a class of illnesses that humans face every season.

> 5. All developed countries highly recommend the annual Influenza vaccine even with its variable annual efficacy, as a way of lowering the intensity and spread.

No they don't. The UK does not offer flu vaccine for anyone except member of vulnerable groups, young children or medical workers.

> 6. COVID-19 has raised all cause mortality and lowers life expectancy across all age groups starting before middle age.

The all cause mortality has risen. There's every indication that this is due to the mRNA vaccines.

> Beyond this, they’ve limited additional boosters to seasonal programs for target populations that are at greater risk.

Any why are they doing that?

It's because the likelihood of hospitalisation due to a vaccine injury (1 in 800) [1] is greater than the liklihood of being spared from a hospitalisation due to COVID [2] in every age category except 70+.

> The vast majority of the UK population have COVID antibodies and are at far less risk than they were in 2020

The vast majority of the UK population were at minimal risk of COVID to begin with. I myself recovered from it in less than a day.

8. As with any disease vector there always is a choice to use mitigations such as masks in crowded indoor spaces, vaccinations, etc. to lower the spread. This is something other countries learned decades ago.

As the Danish mask study shows, the mask mandates were nothing more than securiy theater. The vaccines only offer fleeting protection of a few weeks, so it's not possible to keep the population on a 3-monthly treadmill of boosters.

> This is something other countries learned decades ago.

No the UK had a policy that explicitly recommended against mask mandates - especially paper and cloth masks.

Depends on your perspective. One of the articles of faith in this industry is that good startups get investment and succeed, while bad ones fail. To whatever extent that's true, it won't be particularly worse here. Startups who made treasury management errors and are experiencing cash crunches can make very good cases for bridge loans and extra investment from their existing investors. If their investors are like, "nah, pass" then that's a pretty good reason to question their potential generally.

Quebec has all sorts of bonuses, tax deductions, monthly payouts per child, and Canada (the federal level) kicks in incentives as well. Quebec provides extremely low cost day care too.

>Stepping in to smooth out systemic problems is another valid function

Whether you consider this problem "systemic" is political. Note that the FDIC insurance is not the point of contention here - it's whether depositors should be made hold especially if SVB's HTM securities are insolvent.

I could easily make an argument why student loan debt is a systemic issue in the united states - the government's guarantee of the loans as well as making them impossible to clear via bankruptcy has created both infinite demand (leading to higher tuition prices) and reckless loaning (due to the government essentially guaranteeing the loans). Why is this "systemic" issue unreasonable, while SVB is?

I also concede that this fiction is convenient. I oppose it mainly because I completely distrust the current bank based implementation of it. Technology that obsoletes banking has yet to be invented. I thought cryptocurrencies would change something but they turned into stocks instead. Even worse: they literally reinvented banks on top with all of the downsides and none of the benefits. There's also the fact they don't solve secure storage: nothing stops some criminal from holding you at gunpoint and forcing you to irreversibly transfer cryptocurrencies to their wallets. Nothing stops them from kidnapping people and emptying their credit cards and bank accounts either but at least society manages to make the bank absorb some if not all of those losses. My country launched a central bank electronic transfers service and every day I see news of people irreversibly scammed out of tens of thousands.

Real property solves that problem best. The criminal can't take you to the government office with a gun to your head and force you to sign over the property to him. Property is also what capitalism is all about: actually owning stuff. Engaging in it keeps the fabled "you'll own nothing" dystopia at bay.
> Per capitalist philosophy, the bank should sink, along with whatever deposit was in there - "Buyer beware".

Why do you think that? There is no axiom of "capitalist philosophy" that says "when one party screws up all parties must maximally feel the pain".

There is a framework for unwinding these sorts of things. Depositor agreements as well as the relevant regulations and laws regarding business agreements and contracts are all part of the "capitalist philosophy".
A bank failed, and then only because they were doing unwise things with their holdings. Where are all the other failed banks as a result of the long-standing fiscal policy?

The concept of microcode is fairly old. It was present at least as far back as the IBM 360 (1964), so it predates microprocessors.

One big motivating factor for microcode is that it insulates the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) from its actual implementation in hardware. That makes it a lot easier to be forward/backwards compatible.

Without microcode, you have a situation where every generation of processor, and even different implementations of a microprocessor will have different internal resources and circuits. You need to be able to control things inside the processor like the flow of data between registers, ALU(s) and the memory bus... But for each processor implementation, the available connections and execution units are going to be different. Microcode allows you not to expose all those underlying details to the outside. It's also more compact than having to directly control all of the connections inside of a CPU manually.

An alternative would be to have circuits that implement boolean logic and go directly from instructions bits to the internal control logic, but microcode also makes it easier to execute an instruction in multiple steps instead of being tied down to the constraint that each instruction must execute in exactly one cycle.
Why Would ‘OpenAI’ Send ChatGPT Takedown Notices to Google?
The ability to figure out what you're doing and then just do that well, rather than attempting to optimise the code you wrote is called Idiom Recognition and has been around for a very long time, like, 1970s or maybe before.

A relatively modern example was people writing code to count set bits in a value, because older languages don't provide an intrinsic to do that and it's often useful, these days your CPU probably has a CPU instruction specifically for that, it's called "popcount" (sometimes spelled popcnt) and so it's valuable to recognise what's going on in the say six lines of C++ in your program and emit a single POPCOUNT instruction instead. If your fancy method to count bits isn't recognised your program goes slower.

The memcpy case is special because C is weird in actually trying to define this as a function, copying memory is so commonly necessary that compilers need to have a pre-baked implementation for the rest of what they do anyway, it's not a surprise that idiom recognition results in your custom memcpy being turned into the built-in memcpy, although in the case you linked that's indeed a bug.
> Historically we would discourage shell users from...

For no good reason at all.

It's not less confusing, and when shell programmers start talking about how wasteful it is to fork another process, it's because all the good explanations were already refuted.

Also, it's worth pointing that this style was never unanimous. There is a very vocal minority that pushes for it, and a wide non-vocal majority that says basically "whatever, it's not like there's any difference" if you go and ask the question.
I've always known about the three, but the author is correct saying it's about availability. You used to have to go into the "special character" pop up, click on the n- or m-dash, go back to the document and paste it in. In more formal documents, maybe I'd do that, but most of the time it is just a big pain in the ass, and most people don't know the difference, so why bother. I do use the space dash space now for the n-dash. But where is the m-dash??? Usually under the "Special Characters" option I went into Tools menu to check if Special Characters is there...nope. Format menu choice?? Nope. Insert? Ah! There it is...after having to look through each of the above very slowly to see if the Special Character option is there. Now I have to look at the characters - there used to be very few special characters and you could find the m-dash. Now there are thousands of special characters and I don't have the time to look through them all. So now I have to go to the help documentation to search for the m-dash.

OK, on in the help search box, nothing comes up under "m dash," "m-dash," "em-dash," or "em dash." Not even showing up under "dash." Fuck. OK, so now I have to go the ASCII table to find the ASCII decimal code. I found it - it is ASCII code for m-dash is 151, but how do I put that in the document??? I search online help - no help.

I go back to the Special Characters option under (Insert menu. OH! There's a search box on top. I type in "m dash" THERE IT IS!!

So I had to go through all that, just to find the m-dash. Why? Sheesh, what a nosebleed. You might say, "Of course, why didn't you do that in the first place?" Because 1) I'm an imperfect being, and 2) I've used all of those other ways before - I didn't start on computers in the last 5 years, I've gone through a lot of changes so I know a lot of ways to do the same thing. And from app to app, some still work one way way, some not.

I didn't do my old standby, though. That would have been my next step — just go to Google search, type in m-dash as I'll always find it there, then just copy and paste the m-dash. That almost always works. Why didn't I do that first just now? Because I just wanted do it within the word processor, because that's the way it "should" be. And eventually was, after much work.

So, fuck all the special characters. I just use commonly understood equivalents if I can.

But, the point is that I've always know the difference between all three, it's just — why even bother? It's a colossal pain in the ass.
"Toxic" seems to have become a word you say when you don't like something, but you want to represent that it's inherently bad, rather than merely in your estimation.
GP's point was that they have no conception of that, so it affects how they think about things, and their proposed solutions. The fact that the situation they have no conception of happens frequently, even near them, means that their proposed solutions are likely to be inapplicable.
By design, venture-backed startups are about sticking a plate of spaghetti to a wall to look for the sticky bits. There are few sure tells of what startups are “worth saving” until they’re already quite successful.

Assuming that the SVB unwinding is more than a hiccup in cash availability, what will determine who gets saved will mostly come down to affinity and luck. Promise and value are a sort of first pass filter, but startups are just plain noisy and chaotic field.

I'm confused. Under link [3] you posted, the section entitled "Fractional Reserve Banking Process" states the following:

>The fractional reserve banking process creates money that is inserted into the economy. When you deposit that $2,000, your bank might lend 10% of it to other customers, along with 10% from five other customers' accounts. This creates a loan of $1,000 for the customer needing a loan.

>The bank essentially created $1,000 and lent it to the borrower.

The above explanation was always my understanding. Is this a case of semantics?
Yes, and we the taxpayers get the privilege of paying interest on the money that is printed based on our nation's creditworthiness.

The debt can never be paid. It's by design.

Threads about obesity tend to be the ones where even smart people talk past each other. There tends to be a lot of judgment and just eat less! proclamations.

This attitude bugs me. If a programmer "solved" a memory leak by simply adding RAM, without trying to understand why it happens, the HN commentariat would pounce on him and call him various uncharitable names.

But few people here seem to be disturbed by the fact that we don't yet know what drives obese people to eat more food than people with normal weight.

This is not a trivial question, it is actually a deep question, much like "why do some people slide into alcoholism while others can have their single glass of wine every evening for 50 years and never feel cravings to drink more".

But for some weird reason, few people even ask this question aloud, even though without discovering the root cause for overeating, any society-wide fix is unlikely to happen.
I'm sure there's a lot more once you get to more advanced stuff, but going through their System examples has me puzzled:

> ls | where type == dir

or in Bash:

`ls -d`

> ps | where cpu > 0 | sort-by cpu | reverse

or in Bash:

`htop` ?

> ps | where name == Notepad2.exe
> # find process, then ...
> ps | where name == Notepad2.exe | get pid.0 | kill -9 $in

or in Bash:

`pkill Notepad2.exe`

> Pipeline content to clipboard

Or on MacOS:

`anything | pbcopy`

The first example is actually the only one that makes sense to me:

> ls | where type == file

Amazingly, there's no straightforward way to tell `ls` to output only files (that I know of):

`ls -p | grep -v /`

I don't mean to knock it, but I think it's better to learn the standard tools available everywhere than invest any time in tools that aim to lessen the learning curve.
