Participants included 99,068,901 vaccinated individuals. In total, 183,559,462 doses of BNT162b2, 36,178,442 doses of mRNA-1273, and 23,093,399 doses of ChAdOx1 were administered across participating sites in the study period. Risk periods following homologous vaccination schedules contributed 23,168,335 person-years of follow-up. OE ratios with LBCI > 1.5 were observed for Guillain-Barré syndrome (2.49, 95 % CI: 2.15, 2.87) and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (3.23, 95 % CI: 2.51, 4.09) following the first dose of ChAdOx1 vaccine. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis showed an OE ratio of 3.78 (95 % CI: 1.52, 7.78) following the first dose of mRNA-1273 vaccine. The OE ratios for myocarditis and pericarditis following BNT162b2, mRNA-1273, and ChAdOx1 were significantly increased with LBCIs > 1.5.
No worries. And in fact, sorry if I came out as nitpicky. Not that kind of person usually, but being his fan even before he became internet-famous I felt some urge, strange as it sounds.
The question here is how to break out of it. If you go to Bing for example you fall under Microsoft hood, which isn't really solving the problem.
It depends on what features you have enabled, how slow your internet connection is and obviously hardware/software config.
On my 10th gen Intel i5 laptop 8gb ram (on Windows), it takes 15 minutes to build if I don't do anything else, but if I start using Firefox and IDEs, the build times are easily in the 20-25 minutes ballpark.

Sure. If you had better insight or wisdom than the market in general, ye, you can claim it was not a (bad) bet. Still probably bad to go essetially all in on one stock though, even if you are 90% sure?

> I also think short selling is a net negative and should be banned

Why? The potential losses for shorting are infinite whereas the profit is capped, so entering a short requires high conviction. Stock markets are also a market for information: banning short selling takes away a large amount of information and has negative impacts on price discovery, liquidity etc.

Show HN: Open-source reverse ETL – for devs and analysts to show business impact
Founder here. I want to show you Multiwoven - open-source Reverse ETL.

I’ve spent close to two decades in jobs where data devs and business teams have been at loggerheads. Business balks at the long lead time for data requests or custom integrations. And data devs (or analysts/ops) hate the tediousness of these tasks.

With the amount of data being captured and modeled only growing - Multiwoven’s been built for anyone to use the rapidly growing amounts of data in warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Postgres and Databricks - for easy preparation and sync to marketing, sales and other business tools. It’s been built using Ruby on Rails, ReactJS, TypeScript and Temporal.

Data devs are under a lot of pressure to show business impact from data, especially in this economy. Developers have to tediously build (and maintain!) custom integrations & data pipelines themselves or have to consider purchasing expensive CDPs built for marketers, or third-party rETL SaaS tools.

I also believe that people shouldn’t have to pay to move their own data to their own tools, and that it’s risky to hand over access of sensitive customer data to third-party SaaS tools. We’re open-source (data movement infra is free) and self-hosted (so data is in your control and never leaves the premises).

Would love to get your feedback, as an early stage project.
Why?

If you think a stock is underpriced, you can buy it and bet your knowledge is superior to the general market’s.

Shorting is just the logical reverse, and aids price discovery in the opposite direction.
> oh this looks nice and positive

There's no positivity left. All the positive people, as I said, were encouraged to leave.

What's left is hugely corrupt local councils (that control planning) all staffed by the most bitter venal types you've ever met who all have the same mentality - 'I can't fix it myself but if I let someone else fix it for me that means they're better than me, and I can't accept that' so they choose to rule over ruins than step aside. Usually combined with lots of racism and alcoholism.

It all shows through in the television. The cynicism and sarcasm that pervades British television is so telling once you see it from a distance.

and the fact that the same tropes are recapitulated over and over again without any reference to prior art. Alan Kay is correct; computing is a pop culture.
I've heard this a lot over the years but I disagree entirely. It's a matter of self motivation. I started on BASIC in 1981. They taught us Pascal at university. I moved to C on Unix and eventually into embedded C. Then back out to C++ and then more recently Go.

What I tend to see from the FE developers I've worked with is someone told them this was a gold mine and they did a code camp to get where they did. There is no care, consideration or self motivation past getting paid thus the understanding is limited only to the direct thing that needs to be done via whatever means it can be done quickly.

If it's a means to an end, then you do not learn. You have to enjoy and care for what you do and cultivate it.

>Basic proper usage of <h1>, <h2>, and <article> tags are nowhere to be found, making screen reader's job difficult (in fairness, however, accessibility has always been complicated).

I've asked here before about HTML5 semantic tags[1], and the consensus seems to be they're worthless. H tags may be useful, but HTML5 sectioning algorithm allow for multiple H1's for example seems to be generally seen as an error. There are so many valid users for <article> that it can't be used to find the actual article on the page. And the best use case of <section>, in my opinion, is a section without a heading, the exact sort of thing that nobody wants to allow and will tell you to just a div instead despite the fact divs don't have a label tag for them different from <figure> (also used wrong all the time) and <table>.

Even worse. Pegasus was all paid from the 'Justice Fund', which was intended to help crime victims.

Monolith is fine if you have a fairly simple process for manipulating your data. Like posting an article, then a comment, with some moderation thrown in.

But when you start adding business rules, and start transforming your data and moving it around, then your monolith will become too complex and often too expensive to run. Lots of moving parts tightly coupled together, long-running transaction wrapping multiple joined tables etc. Rolling out new features will become very challenging as well.

Something like event sourcing is more complex to set upfront than a monolith, but at least it offers the way to add scale and features later without creating a combinatorial explosion...

I wouldn't say "high" taxes. People like to say we've got European taxes and American services, but the UK tax burden is significantly lower than places like France, Sweden, and Germany. It's harder to compare services cos I've not lived anywhere else long enough to require public services.
A mid path might be contracting. Decent pay when you do it and can do startup stuff between contracts.
> That then people who learned React and try to build other things with it, isn't the fault of React.

The discussions always get muddy here. React, the view library, can't directly be blamed for how people use it, its just a collection of code.

The react codebase does include quite a few features that support using it for more than just basic view rendering of dynamic content though. Hooks support async logic that really doesn't belong in the view layer, context providers get muddy quickly as they can pass around more than serializable state, and with server components react is arguably not even a view library at all.

The problem is ultimately how devs chose to use, and how to promote the use of, react. Given that the codebase also supports those use cases today though, its reasonable to me that people often peg blame on react itself.
Thanks for those comments, much appreciated. I'm still planning future updates to that font collection, and I'll probably include straight-up binary dumps of the characters, so you won't have to jump through hoops to convert them (although many of them are already available in this form at https://github.com/viler-int10h/vga-text-mode-fonts - all you need is a hex dump).

Do the Modern DOS fonts have a particular advantage for you, in terms of implementation? If they do, let me know and I'll consider those improvements as well!

This is very impressive, but whilst it was very fast with Mixtral yesterday, today I waited 59.44s for a response. If I was to use your API, the end-to-end is much more important than the Output Tokens Throughput and Time to first token metrics. Will you also publish average / minimum / maximum end-to-end times too?
It doesn't actually repurpose the <link> tag. In React, all componentes start with upper-case to avoid collision with standard HTML. So the link tag is <Link>. If you typed <link> you would get regular HTML <link>, which thinking about it now, probably confuses a lot of people who know React but not HTML.
>>> If it is such a pain in the ass, why not use an alternative that is less pain in the ass...

If I were building a mostly static site, I can reach for htmx, if I am building a spa (b2b back end) I can grab react.

What happens when you're building something that does BOTH. The tooling isnt really there to support this. You end up with something that isnt good at either and 4 times harder to work with... It feels like we have gone backwards at that point.

The problem is that you’re moving from a simple easily-proven fact to something which requires two judgement calls. Any prosecutor can show that you made a trade before certain information became public, but proving that something was mismanagement (as opposed to a mistake or bad luck) or that it was a deliberate attempt to play share price games is so much harder that most executives would evade punishment even if pretty much everyone would find their actions hard to explain otherwise. White collar crimes are already enforced laxly due to the challenge of needing to prove intent in many cases, there’s no benefit to making it even easier to defraud investors.
> The argument against it is that markets would be more efficient if people were allowed to trade on information not yet available to the public

If that is true, then markets would be even more efficient is such information was made public immediately.
With the pace of innovation at Google this is absolutely not guaranteed. Speaking from historical perspective it is much more likely that Alphabet acquires another startup or small ASIC-based company which got right the interconnect part. And still - it is not guaranteed. This Gemini thing tries to launch like three times already, but can't even blimp in comparison with OAI. Besides OAI is more or less MS.
I'd argue that a lot of company don't need so but they do anyways for the sake of infinity growth.
The video footage of suicide drones you can find on r/combatfootage is nearly always from custom drones, the giveaway is the analog video transmission. As the poster before said, DJI drones are only used for reconnaisance (for example DJI Matrice), where high-quality digital video transmission (and thermal image cameras) are very useful.

Both of those make sense.

> shuffling data back and forth between general purpose and mask registers. Gcc and clang do a really poor job deciding which operations to do in GPRs and which to do in mask registers.

Interesting. Was this using the _k intrinsics (e.g., _kshiftli_mask32 - requires fairly new clang) or just treating the AVX-512 mask as an int?

> They also fail hard at hoisting constant loads out of hot loops.

We often do that manually, no?

> each loop trying to find something in a string must at the same time look for the nul terminator and be careful not to cross page boundaries while doing so.

Yeah, that sounds not so fun. You're probably already rounding down to aligned vectors? (otherwise the 'load with junk' could also fault)

> I recommend you try and implement some of these functions yourself.

> And why do you think that is good sir?

Because on average they're less likely to prefer working in tech. They don't like it, it's that simple.
You're right, and the thing is React/FE Frameworks doesn't even repurpose the <link> tag. It doesn't replace or edit any native tags.

There are some _libraries_ that _create_ a <Link> tag, which is basically a 'wrapper' that adds its own set of logic, but it's a new tag.
Formatting is extremely overrated. It's important, don't get me wrong, but developers today seem to have this fetish for having a bunch of formatting rules on top of a litany of linter rules, as if the number of problems solved scales linearly with the amount of guard rails added. A level of it is useful, but so much of it is a waste of time and can lead to idiotic situations where things conflict or override one another. Not to mention time wasted bikeshedding this stuff.

Prettier, to me, is about as average as these tools come. It's not particularly offensive, though I don't understand why it's not way faster than it is.
There's always the devil's advocate case that insider trading is good because it makes for more accurate price discovery (as in executives have access to non public information, so e.g. if the company has had a great quarter and the executives buy shares before the earnings figures are released then the price goes up and the market price more accurately reflects the value of the shares).

Of course this case is total nonsense but it is fun to make at parties (if you're weird like me) or something. In reality the market being fair is super important for it to function because people won't invest if they're continually being fleeced by people using inside information.
> I also think short selling is a net negative and should be banned right along side insider trading

How would you incentivize people to find fraudulent companies like Enron?
As long as China keeps adding renewables like crazy, it doesn’t matter all that much what else they do for the next few years. Eventually they’ll want to add some form of storage, but you can go to pretty high levels of renewable penetration before you need that.
I was going to reply by saying something similar: BYD sells 90% of their cars in China.

I don’t think their success in China is a guarantee anywhere else, even if they are doing well in Brazil (which is not a very important automotive market, representing 1/10th the sales volume of the USA while having less than half of its population).

It’s also important to remember that BYD sells hybrid vehicles. Granted, they ship more pure EVs than Tesla.

I think it’s easy to see why EVs suit China well. There’s no range anxiety when you have more high speed rail than the rest of the world combined. There’s also no long-existing petrol car culture or infrastructure, China is starting from scratch. Many of their EV buyers could be first-time car buyers. Probably close to 100% of car buyers in the West have owned other cars.

From a policy level, oil is an import product for China, and components for EVs are domestic products, so they have an obvious incentive to electrify.

This goes back to my feelings on why the CyberTruck wasn’t a waste of effort: again, it’s competing with the most popular vehicle in the USA in the most profitable vehicle segment on the planet that is entirely protected by the US government from imports (the chicken tax). Financially think the CyberTruck is almost guaranteed success.
> Exactly. Front end frameworks can't have ruined the web, because without them, there is no web.

It's not only E2EE. Let's say you would rather not know your users passwords (which I think it commonly agreed upon good security hygiene, at least for storage, but it makes sense that you wouldn't want to have them at all on your servers). You are going to hash it client side with some password hash or even better using some aPAKE. Great, except it's all moot since your password handling code comes from your compromised server. I wish there were practical solutions to this problem.
But don't you see the problem here? You don't know what you don't know. Radio communication wouldn't surprise e.g. Newton in the least once explained, but it's something he also would never have envisioned in a million years, because it was simply technology that he had no reason to even might imagine would be possible, outside of fantasy and fiction. He was actually skeptical of his own discovery of gravity because of the implication of some invisible force at work!

Or let's go back to ultra modern times. Nuclear warheads are shockingly small. Imagine telling something at the turn of the 20th century that soon a weapon the size of a small table would have a kill radius of multiple miles. I mean you can obviously imagine it, but it seems kind of silly to think about being actually real, until it turns out it is.

So there are two possibilities now. (1) Now we've finally reached that point, that we will only ever reach once, where our knowledge is advanced enough such that there will no longer any major revolutionary discoveries made. Or (2) we're just like every other generation throughout time who assumed that what they knew was, more or less, the peak of what's knowable (or at least not fundamentally wrong) only to have their own ignorance demonstrated with marked clarity in times yet to come.

Beyond the philosophical there are countless technical reasons to also think this is the case. Like you mention astronomy, yet so much of what's going on out there remains a complete mystery. Disharmony between the really big and really small aspects of the universe, whatever 'dark matter' and 'dark energy' truly are, the fact that observed galaxies are moving at rates far different than expected by relativity or Newtonian mechanics (including after factoring in whatever dark matter may be), that a big-bang would require a mysteriously convenient faster-than-light inflationary period to actually work, and countless other issues. So many things are breaking at scale, that it seems highly reasonable to assume that there remain yet many revolutionary and worldview-shifting discoveries to be made.
Here's the thing: if I can't afford a game because it's so outrageously expensive, I'm not going to just not play it and miss out, I'm going to pirate it.

And now that I'm an adult who totally can afford these things (after bypassing all the roadblocks that the world's entertainment companies put for customers from Russia), I still pirate everything because that's what I'm used to, and that's what I'm convenient with.
That's a great example, thanks.
