This "everybody was wrong" and "whoopsie!" self-absolution is some of the ugliest and most hypocritical parts of the entire Covid phenomenon. No -- plenty of people were ardently against lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and school shutdowns, but all kinds of pundits and self-selected rule enforcers loudly lambasted and insulted them endlessly.

Many, many lives were permanently affected in multiple, very negative ways, with no chance of returning to pre-covid "normal." The resentment and frustration from individual lives being crushed while the entire ordeal seemingly aligned and advanced corporate interests, is only triggered further by the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ attitude.

... out of curiosity, why not?

Also, do you need MRI-guided or can one just use a much higher frequency ultrasound to see where it's targeting? Regardless, seems like a classic RL problem (presumably some sort of ~ms level cycle of low-power targeting then short burst of power).
While I see how this makes sense, I don't like this. If most people follow this strategy, we will end up with utter stagnation, or even devolution.

"Boring" technology also has many hidden costs - most importantly, opportunity costs of not having several times higher productivity due to the warts and quirks of the boring tools. Sure, with enough practice one can work around them but every backwards issue takes a good chunk of productivity out of the project.

I get the argument of "if it's not mainstream, where will we find programmers" - but that's more of a cultural issue of wanting expert programmers out of the box instead of investing in them and training them.

Ultimately, this line of thinking is like saying 640K RAM is enough for everyone. Sure, you might say C++ and Go is enough for everyone, but there are many unrealised gains left on the table.

I know HN doesn't like jokes, but this is really funny. And the subcomment about mullets too.

(for folks who don't get it, mullets are a 1980s haircut (think MacGyver) with a short front but a long tail in the back. A funny description of them is "business in the front, party in the back")
the one insight missing from this otherwise decent piece was that "the look" that almost all Japanese TV has had, basically from the 1980s. large swaths of bitmapped text in garish colours and fonts splashed across many TV programmes, very often you'll see the heads of commentators superimposed, also with text. i'd say the "common" graphic design style of much of 1980s+ JP TV has a large bearing on how JP sites are used, perceived and "expected" to be now.

[edit: i work for a JP co in USA that deals with a lot of JP lang sites]

I am a little frustrated over an apparent lack of curiosity around mask effectiveness.

* If you think they're an effective measure for the public in general (which is probably closest to my position), then the variation in studies seems like it should still give you pause because it seems like the way mandates and messaging are implemented could undermine the usefulness.
* If you think they're effective in individual cases when people do it diligently, it still seems like you should be worried about the possibility that a lot of people who think they're diligently and correctly masking aren't, including some medical professionals who are regularly exposed to the disease.
* Honestly, even if you don't think they work at all, it still seems like learning why masks don't work would expand our knowledge of the disease.

Of course, we do know about plenty of factors that undermine mask effectiveness: people avoiding them altogether, people wearing ones that don't fit, people not covering their nose, etc. And of course researchers can skew the results with their methodological choices. But there seems to be enough variability in these studies that unknown or underappreciated factors could be significant.

You could, if you are only optimizing for display size. UUIDs are very infrequently presented as user-facing data, and pretty much every sensible system will be storing them as a 128-bit value, not the ASCII representation you see.

100% agree with this. I grew up on a TRS-80 and so much wanted to share my nostalgia, or a some modern form of it with my daughter. Turns out using Scratch gives her the same core excitement, empowerment and wonder I experienced typing out games in BASIC but in an environment that allows so much more with so much less toil. That feeling of being able to create things, to get a machine to do what you want to do is captured so well. To top it of there is a community of creators and people sharing tutorials. The source code to every project made and shared by others is just a click away... the learning opportunities are endless. I am so grateful for this platform!
>use "logic" and "evidence" to argue against their policies.

Many times when folks who tell me they're presenting "logic" and "evidence" in a debate they're personally invested in there's grave flaws in both their logic and evidence presented. The freedom to intellectually debate HR's policies in a company is rightly limited, you can call it "censorship" but endless uninvited earnest debate about policies isn't really wanted or needed in the workplace.

I don't even get the point of these hardcore Apple defenders tbh man. You are not Apple, and you only gain to benefit from if supposedly they have good hardware and software, it also becomes more open for you or others to find better uses for it.

Sure, but when we worry about jailbreaks we worry about people doing bad things with the knowledge.

The worry is about someone seriously asking the question and getting serious answers.

You could do that by jailbreaking an LLM. My contention is you can’t readily jailbreak most humans this way - not seriously. People would get uncomfortable quickly.

In real life it is usually fairly easy to determine when you're addressing a single individual, a closely-held group, or a large gathering. And large gatherings themselves are still generally constrained: it's difficult to directly address more than about 50 people without some sort of public-address system in use.

Online the level of exposure and amplification are difficult to judge. Your direct environment may be entirely private --- alone in a room, with a screen and keyboard (of various descriptions). Or you might well be out in public, but the immediate public and the public you're reaching online are themselves almost completely independent of one another. One of the more common complaints or statements I see is to the effect that other, uninvited people are barging into a private or limited discussion. But at the same time, that discussion is occurring in a highly public space.

There are a few interpetations of that:

- It could be a "simple matter of training", of educating people to understand that what is online is inherently public. See xkcd's 10,000 for the scale that's involved, and multiply that by roughly a factor of 80 to reach global scale. That's a lot of painful confusion endured every single day.

- People holding this position could well be disingenuous, know full well that they're monopolising a public discourse, and are seeking simply to exclude conflicting voices and viewpoints. I'm told that such things happen....

- The principles might simply be wired too deeply into our psychology. We have an inherent sense of rooms and spaces and friends and groups, and think that we're having discussions amongst them even when the reality is that we are not, and much as optical illusions and legerdemain still work and fool us even when we know the trick, there's no engineering around this.

I'm divided among all three of these viewpoints, though I put strong weight on the third. And there may well be others I'm not considering.

But the point remains that attempting to have intimate discussions at scale really presents fundamental and insurmountable contradictions that can't easily be resolved.

I'd just like to see them answer some hard questions, just like I have to answer on my job.

The point of vaccines is to extend human lifespan and reduce illness. It should be a relatively easy matter for them to show that taking more vaccines does those things, right? Assuming similar infrastructure and income (rough) between countries there should be some correlation between vaccine rates and healthcare outcome statistics.

We could even rate individual vaccines on how much illness and expense they alleviate. Perhaps some are more effective than others?

But to even questions anything about a vaccine somehow makes one an "antivaxxer" - someone who irrationally hates vaccines. There would probably be a lot fewer "antivaxxers" if the media and medical corporations did not respond like jerks when people had honest questions about vaccines, like they would when choosing any other product.

While LLMs is what cool kids all talk about nowadays, there's way, way, way more to the machine learning than them. I'd say that minority of GPUs are used for LLMs in the ML space.

We could make the string representation more compact with more characters, but I’m not sure compactness and readability are the same, especially any compactness that takes more than the ASCII character set (sure, just the hexadecimal digits may be fewer than ideal.)
Sure, or we could make a law which prevents this kind of mixing of notifications.

I, as a consumer would appreciate this.
Not necessarily. That’s where trust and reputation comes in and in this case I’m willing to believe the agencies.

I think it's a fair question, because yes you should store them as numbers, but they are still often sent in text formats and urls. Wanting a shorter representation is reasonable.

The easiest is probably to just base64 the binary representation of the 128 bit number, which results in a 128/6=22 character string, which is a bit smaller.

If glyph-length and not byte-length is more important you could go even smaller but I'm less sure if that's a good idea.

> schools... done differently

My attitude pretty much the whole pandemic was 80/20 rule. Everybody seemed to be fighting for the extremes which gave us less optimal results. I didn't see anybody suggesting masking kids indoors especially during deep winter, but then giving them extra time for outdoor play with no restrictions (distancing etc). The transmission outdoors might not be zero but it would be much less, so it would be a much reduced vector. That seems like a good tradeoff for their mental health. Or if not this exactly, something like this. Or what about class outdoors, or open windows and fans instead of masks. I don't recall there even being a discussion like this; granted I'm not a parent.

(caveat: This all assumes masks work and that kids are actually a big vector. I've heard contrary views on both.)

"vertical-align" has always been around since the beginning if you're okay with setting the line height to the height of the page.

The original model for style might have been text, but that didn't stop anyone from doing what they needed. The question has always been more whether you really want an element vertically centered to the page rather than to a page section.
