The Short- and Long-Term Consequences of Intra-Household Disease Spread [pdf]
Paper has a theory for the observation that older siblings earn more than younger ones.

TL;DR: Older siblings come home, get their younger siblings sick, negatively impact their development at a critical age and, as a result, make their adult labor market outcomes worse.
> - Assume our language has a specification, even if it's entirely in your head

It does not, and at the current pace, it might never have a spec.

The reason there is no spec - not even an hypothetical spec in my head - is that the exact semantics of Rust has not been settled.

With the constraints the Rust project are operating with, the only way forward I can think of is following the ideas laid out in post

https://faultlore.com/blah/tower-of-weakenings/

With the understanding that you can have multiple specs if one is entirely more permissive than the other (and as such, programmers must conform to the least permissive spec, that is, the spec that allows the smallest number of things)

But the problem is, Rust doesn't even have this least permissive spec. Or any other.
Without meaning to detract from your point, "no one" is a bit hyperbolic. Elixir, Gleam, Caramel, and LFE all compile to BEAM, and Akka looks like a decent attempt at porting the VM semantics to JVM and .NET.

I recently searched for a homey cooking recipe and YouTube pulled up a video titled something like 'Tearful father says goodbye to daughter before gang assassination', with a correspondingly horrifying thumbnail.

I responded by logging out, deleting the cookies for my YouTube container, and adding the YouTube domain to my adblock. My use of YouTube is now restricted to RSS feeds for channels I like, redirected to an Invidious or Piped instance. Highly recommended.
I'm at least spared from that because I turned off YouTubes watch history completely. I find it's better behaved that way because the related videos section just shows videos similar to the one I'm watching, rather than trying to "learn" my interests and invariably getting it completely wrong.

Amusingly if you turn off the watch history then the frontpage passive aggressively refuses to show you anything, rather than falling back to showing your subscriptions, which you still have to click through to a separate page to see.

Exactly, even after seeing the issue I can't make heads or tails of what the hell a "TBs scanned" is relative to row counts, etc. Likewise, it seems to place a lot of assumptions on knowing what tables include - and on a dataset you didn't build yourself how can you know the tables are optimized to lower your costs? Hell, how can you even know what the costs are?
I can do it for Yuzu (there's a note on the post). Right now Steam Link doesn't support it. Moonlight says it does, but I haven't gotten it to work with any Steam game (or at all, really). I suspect that would only work in Windows, but haven't bothered to try.
I have to be a bit careful what I say here.

Orthodox have certain political views, that do not mix well with majority of liberal population. They claim ethical/non-military grounds when it comes to conscription, but are very strongly opinionated in other areas.

And look who is doing actual fighting in Gaza. There are are like 5000 US Navy seals. Conscript army can not even man fortified bunkers!

I read Israel faces genocide, that does not sound very happy!

If you look at some stats, North Korea is doing pretty well, they have like 40% gender equality or whatever.

I would really recommend you to travel a bit. You obviously do not have much experience (stats, research). Israel is quite ok now.

I tend some workloads that transform data grids of varying sizes. The grids are anon mmaps so that when mem runs out, they get paged out. This means processing stays mostly in-mem yet won't abort when mem runs tight. The processes that get hit by paging slow to a crawl though. Getting faster SSD means they're still crawling but crawling faster. Doubling SSD throughput would pretty much half the tail latency.
They do take political action though. They act from the same diluted dialectical materialist frame many highly educated academics in the social sciences tend to act from. When I try to point out that their actions implicate specific truth claims - they seem to reliably misunderstand what I'm saying. They don't see this as contradictory at all as far as I can tell. It's fascinating and I don't know what to make of it. It makes me worry about my own mental health.

So when 0xide have the (nice) problem of topping out whatever market share they can win, their shareholders will want to extract more revenue from existing customers. That can only come in the form of licensing updates (or selling new sleds) according to _how_ they're used: by core, by power, AI model, number of customers, or whatever else.

Either 0xide are such a roaring success that Amazon reduce their cloud prices to compete. Or they save their select customers so much money on the cloud that they can start raising the rent.

(not a negative judgment by the way, customers win either way. Just putting this kind of marketing in context and a reminder that you don't own anything any more, haha)

No, like, the search will sometimes deliberately insert a couple of videos from your watch history in a section labeled "Previously watched". It's not just that it's surfacing previously seen videos which match the search; it's surfacing videos from your viewing history instead of videos which match your search.
The UX for google products has gotten so much worse.

I've had problems with youtube search recently, but because I use google more often it's so much more obvious with google search.

Like I hate how they have that bar that keeps changing different search modes, before 'images', 'videos' used to be in a fixed position, now I have to go searching for it in a soup of unrelated words like 'Finance', 'Flights', etc.
For example, now you can’t restrict who can send you a message unless you have a premium. Also they added a “feature” that premium users can bypass non-premium users privacy setting “last seen and online” and TG will tell that info regardless of your choice unless you are premium too.

I think you're misinterpreting what "the implicit constraint 'b: 'a has been lost" in that link means. What it means is that the compiler loses track of the constraint. It doesn't mean that the language semantics as everyone understands them allows this constraint to be dropped. That sentence is describing a Rust compiler bug, not a language problem.
I agree. It seems like the wrong way around to say that it's rude to tell guests how to act; guests are supposed to be polite to the hosts and follow their rules. It's why you might put your feet up on the table at your own house, but not at someone else's house unless they give you permission.

I'm not the OP but a few things:

* Reading/fetching the data - usernames, phone number, message, etc.

* Generating the content for each message - it might be custom per person

* This is using a 3rd party API that might take anywhere from 100ms to 2s to respond, and you need to leave a connection open.

* Retries on errors, rescheduling, backoffs

* At least once or at most once sends? Each has tradeoffs

* Stopping/starting that many messages at any time

* Rate limits on some services you might be using alongside your service (network gateway, database, etc)

* Recordkeeping - did the message send? When?
At least in the military, it's commonplace for the entranceway to the offices/working spaces of any unit to have a board with the official photos of the entire chop chain, from the President on down to the unit commanding officer.

And in basic training or the initial parts of officer training, one of the things people can be inspected on is having the names of everyone on that chain memorized. Not because that's something most military people routinely do, just to drive the point home of lawful orders and civilian control.
Sorry I was quoting nsxwolf. But now that you point it out, I can see the difference. It's subtle so I'll copy paste so others can see.

tcmb: ‚usename‘

nsxwolf: ,comma-backtick`

stavros: ‚comma-apostrophe‘

godelski: ,comma-apostrophe'

Though while copy pasting I see tcmb and stavros as having the same character which is different from the longer character you pasted. Seems my clipboard doesn't like that character. I also seem to have crashed OSX's emoji and symbol tray. No longer pops up if I press the button (bottom left) or select from firefox but got it back by opening safari.

Ah. A little surprising, MJ's tend to be messier and more textured.

But yeah, I too know the sorrow of getting MJ to generate specific text in images - funnily enough, I too wanted a question-mark for my cat image (for https://gwern.net/review/cat thumbnail ) and I just couldn't get MJv5 to do it and had to settle for making the entire cat a question-mark: https://gwern.net/doc/cat/psychology/2023-11-04-gwern-midjou... It looks cool and I'm satisfied with it, but it wasn't what I had been going after.

In MJ's defense, MJv6 (c. January 2024) is considerably better at text, and you could probably get that question-mark now with some prompting & maybe region-inpainting.

> Executives didn't go to jail and boardrooms weren't bankrupted en masse

Sure, populist shows of retribution weren't prioritised. Keep in mind the time frames within which TARP was passed.

In last year's failures, stockholders were wiped out.

> government in all their power still allowed bonuses to be paid out with TARP money even as people were losing their jobs en masse

Based on what law did you want these binding legal agreements invalidated?

> never any meaningful regulation that came to pass afterward that split the banks up

Not true. The Fed and FDIC's powers were expanded thoroughly post crisis.

It remains unsettled whether breaking up the big banks is the right move for stability. America continues to have a large number of banks per capita relative to other countries.

> Everyone was so fast to get back to "business as usual" you'd think nothing happened

If you didn't watch the picture, sure.

> What happened with SVB et. al. last year is actually what the FDIC is suppose to do and was established to do, well before the 2008 financial crisis. The FDIC has always had the power to take receivership of failing banks and sell off their assets to make depositors whole.

What happened in '08 was outside the FDIC's purview. That was the problem. Depositors weren't running, it was the other parts of the system that failed.
So this doesn't even seem like an issue with search "quality" in a product sense -- it seems like something is actually deeply broken with YouTube search. This is a straight-up bug.

For those not watching the video, he's searching for "games that think more gameplay mechanics equals more fun" (not in quotes) which you can see the results of:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=games+that+thin...

He expects it to list his video with that title:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1ZKcZbi1rg

But that video... just isn't in the search results at all. I thought -- maybe it's an obscure video? Maybe the others are just way more popular? But no -- his video has 15 million views. While the search results have some homage or re-uploads with 575K, 1.4K, 739 views... so the fact that it's missing his original video means it's just broken. Yikes.

Note that it does finds the video as the #1 result if you search only within his channel:

https://www.youtube.com/@ProZD/search?query=games%20that%20t...

But the point is, this isn't some kind of "product decision" affecting the ranking. This isn't about prioritizing money over niche content or something.

This is just an instance where YouTube search is just flat-out broken. There's a serious bug here -- the questions are, how widespread is it, and why isn't Google finding it and patching it before we figure it out? It seems like a serious problem with quality control.

Getting a 10x Lethal dose just doesn't seem like a realistic concern to me, and certainly not a dealbreaker.

We know and knew what a normal exposure was: being in close proximity to one or more contagious people for somewhere between a few minutes and many days.

If you have someone sit next to an infected person for an hour, how do you get to this hypothetical 10x super dose?

Edit: I would also add that medical trials also have well established methods of determining effective and dangerous exposure levels, and these are used in almost every Phase 1 trail. You start with extremely low exposure, then increase it until you see dangerous outcomes. This could easily be done with a covid serum to find the infectious but non-lethal level. for example, if you think X amount of covid virus is infectious, you start at 0.0001 X and then increment up, to find the amount that causes normal infection, and not some lethal mega dose.
I don’t really understand why this guy’s articles are so popular here. He comes up with some utterly ridiculous statements. And he - deliberately, I think - elides key things to make his point. If that’s not deliberate then he doesn’t have a basic understanding of the industries he claims know about - and write about.

His point about the Sony/Jackson song catalogue deal is a perfect example. He deliberately conflates several different things.

1. Buying an existing catalogue which generates predictable revenue is very different to taking a risky bet on an unknown artist. Music rights are traded like an asset class these days, and there are simple revenue multiples plus some other factors used to determine value. $1.2 billion for one of the most successful collections of songs in history is a good deal.

2. Investing in songs is not the same as investing in an artist - or even investing in recordings. A song pays whenever it is used. If someone records a version of a song written by Michael Jackson then whoever owns the song gets paid quite separate to whoever gets paid for the recording. If Thriller is played on the radio pretty much anywhere in the world the owner of the song gets paid. The owner of the recording only sometimes gets paid.

3. He says “no label would spend a fraction” of $1.2 billion “launching new artists”. And yet in 2022 Warner Music Group spent almost exactly that amount on A&R costs developing and launching new artists. In the same year UMG spent nearly $4 billion.

“Music may be in the worse state of them all. Just consider Sony’s huge move a few days ago—investing in Michael Jackson’s song catalog at a valuation of $1.2 billion. No label would invest even a fraction of that amount in launching new artists.”
The problem with option #1 is you can be as good as you like but you are still screwed if some other asshole pushes the button. At least with option #2, you have some control over your your survival.

Plus, these options are not mutually exclusive. You can do your best to ensure a just, peaceable world while still digging a really big bunker.

Same here. I just looked up Titan's size [1] and it's in between the Moon and the Earth in size. I know water is just a thin layer on the crust of our planet, but 12x?

If you look up "all of Earth's water in a ball," [2] it's about a quarter the size of the moon. Titan isn't that much larger. It must just be a floating blob of water or someone's estimations/illustrations are way off.

You'd need the whole stack to understand your data format in order to make speculative requests useful. It wouldn't surprise me if cloud providers indeed do speculative reads but there isn't much they can do to understand your data format, so chances are they're just reading a few extra blocks beyond where your OS read and are hoping that the next OS-initiated read will fall there so it can be serviced using this prefetched data. Because of full-disk-encryption, the storage stack may not be privy to the actual data so it couldn't make smarter, data-aware decisions even if it wanted to, limiting it to primitive readahead or maybe statistics based on previously-seen patterns (if it sees that a request for block X is often followed by block Y, it may choose to prefetch that next time it sees block X accessed).

A problem in applications such as databases is when the outcome of an IO operation is required to initiate the next one - for example, you must first read an index to know the on-disk location of the actual row data. This is where the higher latency absolutely tanks performance.

A solution could be to make the storage drives smarter - have an NVME command that could say like "search in between this range for this byte pattern" and one that can say "use the outcome of the previous command as a the start address and read N bytes from there". This could help speed up the aforementioned scenario (effectively your drive will do the index scan & row retrieval for you), but would require cooperation between the application, the filesystem and the encryption system (typical, current FDE would break this).
