Right, and if you read the data they use to make this claim, you see that it supports the fact that vaccinated shed as much as unvaccinated. If you restrict your claim to "vaccinated don't get severe symptoms, and therefore don't have the highest shedding," I agree with you. What you cannot claim, is that vaccinated shed less. At the 95% CI of the data, vaccinated is actually higher for the sample size they have here.

Again, their data literally shows that, outside of samples outside the 95% CI, you can't tell vaccinated from unvaccinated.

I think if you are arguing that this is only breakthrough cases in vaccinated individuals, the stronger claim probably sticks, but they don't have the data to make that claim in this study.
My 2 cents: don't use avro or anything like it unless you can prove its going to save you money
My understanding is that on-set crew and actors are hired by a temporary company set up for that movie specifically. When it's done, they're all out of a job and need to find a new temporary company to work for. This makes unionization of the individual temporary companies essentially impossible.

The same isn't true for folks who work directly for Marvel on an ongoing basis.
If you’re curious about unions, I always find the Taft-Harley Act of 1947 fascinating for how it curtailed the efficacy of unions in this country.

At, and beyond, a certain size, a lot of companies (but not all of course) end up full of self-serving "yes people".. Business- and money-focused people who joined the company after it took off with success, intent on "hitching a ride" for their own career growth..

(Inherently there's nothing wrong with this motivation, but I've found the kinds of people who seek out these opportunities tend to be of a certain type as described here)

Those people eventually drive out the passionate and user-focused creators who were initially responsible for the innovation and success, as they focus solely on value extraction and pleasing/supporting the executive leadership.

What happens next is.. this kind of enshittification.

"Q: If a user reinstalls/redownloads a game / changes their hardware, will that count as multiple installs?
A: Yes. The creator will need to pay for all future installs. The reason is that Unity doesn’t receive end-player information, just aggregate data."

Bonkers

edit?: Am i reading it right that they want to retroactively charge developers extra fees for previous installs?

I think this text i am quoting below is what they're really trying to do. They know the their new system is unreasonable. They want to force devs to use their advertising service.

"Qualifying customers may be eligible for credits toward the Unity Runtime Fee based on the adoption of Unity services beyond the Editor, such as Unity Gaming Services or Unity LevelPlay mediation for mobile ad-supported games. "

You can also find plenty people online saying vaccines include 5G microchips, the british royal family are lizard people, the world is flat, and that fossils are a ruse to shift the world's attention away from the existence of falling angels.

> When they bring it up to the experts who are suppose to be tracking this stuff, instead of listening to them and being concerned they are ignored, or gaslit.

I wonder why loonies expressing crackpot theories are ignored by the world.

> Apparently you don't have to enter it into evidence and tell people about it if you just ignore it.

It's quite amusing that you talk about evidence, as these loonies reiterating crackpot theories outright reject any evidence but somehow expect the world to blindly accept their baseless claims as indisputable facts.

I don’t get why the seller just wouldn’t do seller financing. Not that hard to structure so that they lose nothing if the buyer defaults (assuming a reasonably large down payment). I guess the only down side is not being able to get any equity out of the sale apart from the down payment. But the down payment along with the new income source probably should be plenty in most cases to be able to afford to purchase your next house.

'Prevaricating', 'known bad actor', all of this is your gloss on something that happened 3 years ago and a response to the wrong title. . They didn't write the title and have a nav bar that mentions open source. Lots of companies with closed source products have open source navbars, entire open source-titled sites. It's a boring high-dudgeon tangent.
IIRC (and I remember it quite vaguely from some random blog post on the Internet) the Lua implementation uses some trick that greatly speeds up setting up and tearing down activation frames (and has also something to do with the ability to easily cross-call into C back to Lua again?), but it hinges on that argument-passing/result-returning semantics being "use nils for missing stuff, throw away the extras" so e.g. Python can't use it to speed up its implementation of function calls.

Unfortunately, I can't find that blog post so take my words with a grain of salt.
> thousands of people, you see in the end credits

if you look closely, those usually on-set people, medics, drivers, catering services - those who have unions. VFX companies in most of the cases have a dozen of entries out of hundreds who actually worked on the title, or just a single line company mention. I could understand this practice in cellulose era, but saving a few megabytes at the cost of disrespect to your workers is simply despicable.

They got creative and should have provided a calculator for that fee scheme. Even so they can't really measure installs per user without deep data gathering which could be illegal.
It was a good read.

However, other than the speedy OS upgrade, and maybe a lot of ports, I'm not sure what the "better 20 years ago" parts were, but maybe that was more of a random line / opinion type thing.

Either way fun read and visually that laptop is still pretty pleasing. I love my MBA but ... wouldn't mind if it was a bit more organic looking like the G3.
They made a technological advancement that allowed them to provide better output cheaper and faster and passed the savings onto their users...

Interesting to spin that into "not a good indicator".
I do think it's the better way to put it, just interesting to note that this is where it flipped.

Couldn't say what the original intent was, I guess if you leave the laptop closed on your desk when you aren't using it that would be nicer to look at? But realistically I'd see it that way for about half a second between closing the laptop and sticking it in a bag.
For that one in particular, nope. The only thing I can think of is when I'm trying to count occurrences of something, but that's just `sort | uniq -c`.

I'll note that Discord also uses the regex crate for something to do with automod[1]. It would be interesting to ask their users how often they're annoyed by the lack of look-around or backreferences or some other fancy feature. Although in their case, the linear time guarantee is likely essential to exposing regex support in the first place.

This kind of thing keeps happening with [semi] open, [semi] free products backed by a commercial company. That doesn't make it good, but I wonder if the business model just doesn't quite work.

It's fine early on, especially if you have a funding backer (large company, generous VC etc). But eventually you need to produce revenue.

Worse still, once you realize this, you are perversely encouraged to lock in as many people into the "free" platform before pulling the rug. Even if that's not your initial plan.

I sincerely feel for all the indie gamedevs, this must be terrifying, I'm only commenting on the broader problem.
i avoid the app store like the plague because it's awful, but it's basically impossible to find options that aren't ad supported. and the lack of purchasing incentive has a lot of other factors into it as well aside from "i want ads". there's also massive user distrust in paying for apps because they're so often garbage in general

We are so close to having previous albums being 'covered' by other artists. And we will have the option in real-time in streaming apps. Eg, listen to Nirvana's Nevermind as if performed by the Beatles.

Record companies can make money off of it -- so they will support this in some way. And they will fight to make sure people can't easily do it on their own systems (which is the way it's going right now).
I think this is more about which activities (ex: industrial espionage) ought to be economically rewarded and which should not.

Design makes a big difference, but Apple is not the only company designing high-performance ARM cores on TSMC's finest. Some might even say they aren't the best designers doing it, either.
A 'well-defined career development framework' is a nice to have for most companies, but ultimately beholden to the lived reality of the business. Does the tech being used offer this possibility? Does anyone with clout in the company have the incentive to make it happen?

Most businesses are a collection of people filling roles, doing exactly what they're supposed to do to keep their job. That doesn't often lend itself to nice to haves like career development frameworks.

If the business has a major incentive to provide it, it'll likely come into existence.

"A 2015 presentation that "SpaceX used to raise money from investors" reportedly projected that in 2022, Starlink would hit 20 million subscribers and generate nearly $12 billion in revenue and $7 billion in operating profit. The WSJ said it obtained the 2015 presentation and recent documents with numbers on Starlink's actual performance in 2022.

Actual Starlink revenue for 2022 was $1.4 billion, up from $222 million in 2021, according to the report. The documents apparently didn't specify whether Starlink is profitable."

> I can't play an instrument, I can't lift, I can't run a marathon

No one is just naturally "good" or "talented" at those things. Those are all just skills that no one is good at (at first), and then they practice those, and then they get better. And yes, not everyone can be Michael Jordan, but I think the bar for "I am pretty good at basketball" is way below the MJ level. That would go for pretty much all of those things you listed. It is all a question of what you are personally interested in and why. Because if you hate playing an instrument just due to its nature, then you probably would find it really difficult to put the time in to get good at it.
Bonjour. It is clear the proverbial horse does not want water.
Which is literally _next quarter_ and retroactively applies to all current games. That's _really soon_, and is going to cause headaches for any publisher/developer looking to release soon.
I’m sure they do, and it’s probably 45 years behind Starlink technologically. Starlink is the only game in town for low latency, high bandwidth satellite communications.
Normally, when software doesn't have big changes between releases, like macOS, there's a feature freeze and devs are working on bugfixes.

The sky is not falling. The Earth is gradually warming, and people will adapt to that. I don't trust climate scientists to objectively evaluate the risks. Their incentives are to magnify the risks to make a name for themselves, to get more funding, and to push climate-related policy in the direction they desire.

You mean: why would Elon disallow Ukrainian forces to use Starlink while making attacks into Russia when the US Department of Defense is paying him to give connectivity to Ukraine... and that could be construed as direct military support to Ukraine in making attacks into Russia?

He probably disallows it because the US DoD demands it under pain of not being reimbursed at all for Ukrainian comms support.
Würstchen: Fast Diffusion for Image Generation
This is just the data serialization format, you have to build any other functionality yourself. We do have a pattern on a few of our APIs where there's a big fixed schema (i.e. it's just a struct and you can't do GraphQL things like following references and hydrating them into objects) and clients select the subset of attributes they want and we only return that. It's useful for reducing response sizes but the main benefit is we can pretty easily track which attributes are actually used over time. That helps us deprecate attributes with a lot less pain.

I think Chipotle secretly hates making quesadillas, and so makes it as hard as possible to order them. (They're now "online order only")

Author here. I think LLMs make for a really interesting opportunity for getting voters details of candidates' platforms that are relevant to them specifically.

Right now, campaigns strike me as very much a push model (especially at the federal level), where candidates and news media are putting out information they think will be relevant and resonate, and voters need to drink from something of a firehose if they have more specific questions, or care about issues that are less hot-button.

Of course, there are in-person events where voters can ask questions important to them, but that only covers a small fraction of voters, and doesn't generally support detailed question & answer. Volunteers are another key touchpoint, but most of them will only be so informed about detailed plans.

With LLMs, I think it's very imaginable for a campaign to allow digital question / answer so engaged voters can get more specific questions answered, while sticking to desired messaging. Using an LLM to provide _human volunteers_ better information when they speak to voters is another interesting opportunity for more effective messaging.

I don’t know if you’re talking about this:

https://theintercept.com/2022/01/12/covid-origins-fauci-reda...

… but if so your statement is a thorough mischaracterization.

1. These weren’t just “some scientists”, they were Fauci, Collins, and an inner circle

2. They didn’t say it’s probably natural origin. One puts the probability at 70-30 or 60-40 in favor of a lab leak, and another says

“I really can’t think of a plausible natural scenario where you get from the bat virus or one very similar to it to nCoV where you insert exactly 4 amino acids 12 nucleotide that all have to be added at the exact same time to gain this function – that and you don’t change any other amino acid in S2? I just can’t figure out how this gets accomplished in nature.”

3. From the house oversight letter:

“ Only three days later, on February 4, 2020, four participants of the conference call authored a paper entitled “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” and sent a draft to Drs. Fauci and Collins.8 Prior to final publication in Nature Medicine, the paper was sent to Dr. Fauci for editing and approval.9 It is unclear what, if any, new evidence was presented or if the underlying science changed in that short period of time, but after speaking with Drs. Fauci and Collins, the authors abandoned their belief COVID-19 was the result of a laboratory leak. It is also unclear if Drs. Fauci or Collins edited the paper prior to publication.”.

There have been repeated queries about what new evidence arose to so firmly convince all parties that the origin was natural and that anyone suggesting a lab leak was an irresponsible and dangerous conspiracy theorist. These queries were never answered. Therefore, it seems like quite a rational conclusion to draw that the lab leak hypothesis was being suppressed, contrary to your slanted language about “certain news sources screaming”.
