I don't think the study is as easy to replicate as you think. It requires correlating test results and vaccination records. Although both of those data sets probably exist, they are sensitive, probably held by different parties. Joining them should be difficult.

As to the study, I'm not really clear if you're objecting to the research itself or to it being posted on HN, but both those positions seem unreasonable. I agree that publicity value sometimes derives from novelty, and that might, in the end be traced to an unfortunate coincidence in the data. But replication and/or review should address that. And if it is as easy as you hint, that should happen quickly and at low cost.
It's only a matter of time before some internet "thing" on some obscure field of medicine or surgery gets somebody killed.

There is no Utopy. Embrace the nature of reality. AI will become norm, and it will bring all the good and bad with it.
Interesting technical solution. However looking at the stats it seems it lost the momentum: https://stats.nostr.band/

Hey, my name is Chris and I'm a fullstack dev working mostly with Elixir + React but I don't mind LiveView or any js framework. I have 3 years of professional experience. I've been working mostly with Elixir, React, Typescript, Postgres and Elasticsearch. I'd prefer full stack but I'm also open for open for just backend jobs. I've been working with real time projects, health-tech, business, or just on frontend side that required a lot of data to be displayed in a custom way.
Wouldn't it also be a mark of respect to check, before saying something that mean, whether it's true or not?

It turns out the way to grow the ec2 business is to get existing companies into the cloud - not just brand new startups. They all have to integrate with on prem networks, which necessitates VPC.

Oh, it's interesting, and I wish you the best of luck with your reading group!

I mentioned the others more out of thoroughness than any intended criticism. A wide diversity of students implies that different materials aimed at various levels always helps - some styles "speak" to some readers more/less. I would be personally quite curious if you decide to go with that book for teaching programming just happening to be in Nim. (Someone else who likes to teach elementary programming once said he might try to teach programming with Nim.) [1]

There are also a lot of free online resources like "Nim for ... Python Programmers" type things off the documentation site. [2]

As a slightly different perspective. I live in Christchurch on my child's 7th birthday we had a 7.2 earthquake in the middle of the night. A few months later a 6.8 hit much harder in the daytime. More than a hundred died. Kids were at school.
After that event people prioritised empowering their children with communication tools.

More recently when much of the inner city was in lockdown, those tools proved invaluable. Even if it were just for kids communicating to other kids in lockdown in the room next door.
Actually, we'd just see the web part of an attack on a hacked webserver, often with an wildcard EV cert. something.majorcorp.com/some/backwater/director/index.htm. The funny part is the phish would look like something at UPS and be hosted on some airline site, so the advice to check the link was the best defense.
I don't understand why anyone trusts anyone. If you build your business on anyone else's back, then you have to be ready for them to disappear at any time.

That being said, if the choice is between building on Google or JonathansAwesomeSoftwareCompany, then I'm picking Google every day of the week. Google may kill the project, but they are infinitely more likely to remain solvent and be able to throw resources at what I care about than Jonathan is.
Apple does not vet extension code. They do have App Store review, but App Store reviewers are not software engineers, and they spend only a few minutes on average reviewing each submission.

Mozilla mostly doesn't review source code either, except for a small number of select, popular extensions.
How the AI Revolution Will Reshape the World
The only reason you can paraphrase Thomas Jefferson is because his words were archived a long time ago, and the archives have survived all this time.
EU has like 50 markets, 300 carriers and anybody can import anything from enywhere.
The book touches on it, but certainly not in enough technical depth (what was it like integrating, etc.). The movie doesn't.
I highly doubt anyone with a legit license to use the IP would be making a Show HN post of this nature based on AI generated artwork, and with a gmail address for a contact.
A lot of these “difference between generation” articles seem to ignore that people in different age groups have different priorities. Older people tend to have a family to think about and are established in their career, so they’re less likely to need a career to tell them what they’re values are.

That said, I personally find it depressing to let a job tell you who you are and what you should care about. Everyone ought to go through the self-discovery of figuring that out for themselves
Can you explain the difference a bit more, and why it's more than just splitting hairs? Is it because TPM is a specific standard for implementation of a secure co-processor, whereas Secure Enclave is part of a larger SoC (T2), which while it could be considered an implementation of a secure co-processor, is distinct from the TPM standard?

In researching this comment I learned that the T2 chip actually runs its own operating system (bridgeOS), so I can see why you'd call it an oversimplification (or muddying the waters) to equate it to a TPM.

>The 11 year old is addicted to his phone/switch. But he constantly plays with friends so when we block it he ends up being somewhat isolated. Seems like a can’t win situation but he is also pretty active with sports and does great in school

Just looking around the room I’m in, I see 3/5 of the people with laptops/iPads but also on their phones. I think phone addiction is common, but maybe addiction isn’t quite the right word if it’s not negatively impacting their life as you mention with school and sports.

It depends on what you eat. A person eating a lot of tomatoes, legumes, potatoes, and squash would hit it pretty easily, which is common for a lot of traditional diets (south asia, some parts of latin america, etc).
Also low-quality traditionally published garbage.
What is “developer relations”?
When HN allows the submission, I assume that it’s fine. Normally HN blocks repeated submissions, so I don’t check beforehand.
This looks great! But it needs a bike route layer please!
How is trusting a third party to deliver you the authentic public keys isn't "trusting a third party"?
> I’m sure the majority of books from over a hundred years ago are lost

Especially if you include independently published books that weren't widely circulated. I wonder what percentage of total books this is.

My grandfather published a book before he passed away. It was never sold online or in any big retail stores. Once the last hard copy is lost, it's gone forever.
Absence? Technically we haven't even noticed their presence!
I live in a small country with a weird language and with a lot of our local pop music...

The new music is fine, everything is on youtube.... for now! ... but the older songs are disappearing.

Years ago, we had a bunch of "mp3 sites" (websites where you could download pirated mp3s), that disappeared, a huge local torrent tracker, focusing also on local stuff, that lost most of the data in the OVH datacenter fire and slowly died, and some stuff was put on youtube 15 years ago, and then got copyright claimed 5 years ago, and was removed. The music groups don't exist anymore, so the CDs aren't publushed anymore, second hand shops are very rare and cater mostly to LPs and tourists, and the groups stopped existing before they could sign deals with the publisher for streaming services.

So yeah, it's not just "those semi-personal photos taken on a party and kept by maybe one or two people", but also pop-music that used to be on the radio all the time in late 80s, early 90s, and is just..gone!

I'm sure that there are data hoarders somewhere, that have mp3s of all those songs somewhere, but unless we get some p2p type of service like gnutella/ed2k/kazaa working again, I won't be able to find them anymore.
I don’t know much about him. What makes you start by saying he’s blunt?
Easiest example is defending antifa as just "wrongheaded" for using violence and attempting to suppress free speech and not a hate group while easily listing any other organization that opposes their political views as hate groups.

If you're claiming to fight extremism you should also fight extremists that support your political views.
>The government of the United States has a complete list of everything you have listed

Is this a logical conclusion/hunch/feeling, or is this documented somewhere?

Sometimes they may be useful to treat a condition. I had common warts for years, they would never disappear on their own without freezing and there was one that was resistant to multiple freezing sessions at the doc. I have started taking stupid doses of D3, C and also eating garlic every day - the freeze resistant wart flattened to almost nothing in 2 weeks on its own, any small wart that pops up now will disappear in a month without freezing.
Can anyone suggest a something that teaches Linear Algebra with a practical applications, especially for software engineering?

I can sorta kinda get the theory, but every demonstration involves moving an arrow around which is.... not something I need to do frequently. So I'm not sure how I actually apply linear algebra to solve actual problems.

I'm a software developer and I know it's useful I just don't get where to use it - and I'm struggling to actually understand the different operations, purpose of the dot product, etc. I have a decent base for basic stats and calc, both of which I can "conceptually apply" near daily for understanding how things work.

3Blue1Brown is helpful, but I just kinda go "yeah I guess that looks right" without knowing what to do with it.

EDIT: Thank you!
In the US, our ISPs lobbied our government to allow them to sell our data. I am literally forced to give money to my enemy to use the internet.

I think the Library of Congress should be given a well funded mandate to create and maintain a digital archive of the entire publicly accessible internet.

The government is probably already doing with the NSA but we normal people can’t access it.
I'm a millennial, for context.

So much to unpack here.

These restrictions just don't make sense to me. I was a pretty reserved child, so I can't imagine getting over all the hurdles needed to grow as a person and foster my love for programming/tech:

- Asking for permission to read all the random Perl forums or IRC chats I stumbled upon just wouldn't be a thing I would have done.

- My parents probably wouldn't have understood what it all was and denied my request. Early on I probably wouldn't have even been able to explain why I needed that access.

- Remember installing linux for the first time? Sorry, not going to happen because the stalkerware doesn't work on linux.

- You want access to a website called "hacker news"?? No way! (HN wasn't really a thing I think back in my childhood but you get the idea).

Second, I was a latchkey kid. Having two working parents is neglectful? What would have been the alternative?

And my point with the porn is that it's not worth locking everything down for fear that your child is going to see some boobs. It's not worth it, and it seems that it's the driving force or a lot of these restrictions.
Thank you! Probably sodium makes blood heavier and the heart has to work harder to pump it. I've had the same thinking about higher haemoglobin numbers (which I do, i am at too high HB for men) and I do suffer from borderline higher blood pressure since my adolescence (not to mention anxiety). Probably I should start taking more Magnesium to balance the minerals. Read somewhere on the internet that we need to balance the metals in our blood. Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Iron and Calcium lead to a healthy CVS system.
Wait a few weeks and a study showing the opposite will come out.
> Politics and industry have demonstrated that they can't ensure safe nuclear operation in Germany. USSR (1986) and Japan (2011) just drove the point home that it's not a specific German failing.

Politics and industry have repeatedly demonstrated that nuclear power generation is one of safest industries in the history of humanity. One terawatt-hour of nuclear causes on average one premature death in 33 years, even safer than wind and hydro.

As a non-expert in this field of science, Id caution taking any single study or paper, and perhaps even any single meta-analysis, as an uncertain data point rather than something that determines life decisions.

Wading through all the data, how it was interpreted, and what the pitfalls might be, is extremely complex for epidemiology and in fact any human study.

Science is a self-correcting process, but for there to be corrections there must be errors first!

Some places are beginning to phase out cephalopods as food. We'll see how long it takes Japan to do so... They're still hunting whales.
I like the idea of accepting transience, but if we lose important knowledge we return to superstition.

That's something I've actually been doing for years.

In my case, the fantasy that tends to work best is one where I become something akin to Batman, fighting crime in my hometown of Rio de Janeiro.

I begin to imagine where I'd set up my Batcave, the types of villains I'd confront, the kind of vehicle I'd use to navigate the city, and then I gradually fall asleep.

I experiment with various stories, but it's safe to say that the superhero genre has a much higher success rate for me.
Why aren’t the alternatives taking the world by storm? Not free, not many people are aware, RSS availability has diminished?
How are the buried lines cooled?
Wow -- I hadn't thought of this but makes total sense. We'll need giant definitely-human-curated databases of information for AIs to consume as more information becomes generated by the AIs.
It’s not too difficult to get past cloudflare using puppeteer. Being normal is the key.
I did this awhile ago, but found myself simply copying and tweaking graphics algorithms, rather than gaining any intrinsic understanding of what linear algebra is really doing. I guess I just didn’t have enough computer graphics background? Yes, I can use lighting equations to define a pixel shader, but I’m basically copying and translating the algorithm from a book.
I love Suzanne Simard but I strongly believe she has mistaken osmotic pressure for intention in some of her work.
IIRC, calcium uptake from the intestines is boosted by the presence of fatty acids. Different types of magnesium supplements have different absorption rates (e.g., magnesium oxide vs magnesium glycinate).

Intuitionist. Truth is provability; the propagation model is basically digital logic. If you mark a premise to a conclusion false, the conclusion is then marked "false" but it really just means "it is false that it is proven"; vitiated. Might still be true, just needs further work.
With AI we have a real chance of 'losing the past' as in we won't be able to tell fact from fiction. The bar to modify images, video, and text form the past will be so low that everyone will do it. And on top of that, coming autonomous agents will do be creating and modifying information at rates we just won't be able to keep up with.

I'd say we should sign everything we can now, anything created from 2023 onward is already suspect of being created by AI. The past will be 'erased' as well if there's no way to verify our historical information.

For example, I create an AI photo of Frank Sinatra in an LA diner eating a sandwich and post it online - tell me how on can verify today that picture is legit or not. Whose the arbiter of all Frank Sinatra photos? How much time, effort, and money would it take to do that verification? Now extrapolate this example to everything. The past becomes only myth and legend.
Calcium and magnesium share some pathways for absorption and compete with each other. Not only is there a limit to how much calcium or magnesium you can absorb, but if you have a high-calcium diet, your body will absorb less magnesium.

There are other minerals which have this kind of competition, so supplementing with one mineral can cause problems with absorption of another.
