> So it’s not that COVID isn’t as bad as it seems, it’s that flu and RSV are much worse than they seem. Seems like the guidance should be about how to spread all respiratory viruses less, not about how to be as bad at controlling COVID as we are at controlling the flu.

This would IMO be worth actual study. One would expect that what seem like basic precautions (wear a mask if you feel at all sick, stay home if you have or recently had a flu, RSV or COVID) should meaningfully reduce overall infection rates. But this may or may not be true in different contexts, and any of these precautions have costs as well. For example, keeping kids away from school seems fairly well established as being bad. Keeping kids from getting sick is not entirely obviously good for them. And plenty of people have allergies — making them all wear masks all the time has its own issues. (On the flip side, a decent, clean enough mask can help with some allergies. Choose your poison.)

(There are cases that people get wrong to degrees that seem absurd. I know someone who worked at a tech startup pre-pandemic. The founders knew that the startup had a norovirus outbreak and nonetheless kept themselves and everyone who wasn’t acutely sick at the office. If they had closed the office and switched to WFH for a few days to break the transmission strain, they surely would have had happier and more productive employees.)
thats what makes bureaucracies run (govt and big corps) - and why it is so frustrating if you come from a startup or small consultancy background to operate in huge bureaucracies - many folks in these big orgs only job is to sit in meetings and study things to death or else raise objections to theoretical problems that may never happen - in order to justify their existence, thinking that the more they study the problem, the better the solution will be - it usually does not end up with a better solution - just a late one, and more expensive and bloated.

It’s still very popular… tuning around CW portion of 40 meters still yields plenty of stations. There’s a fair number of enthusiasts in the Long Island CW Club [0] and CWOPS [1]—bith very welcoming groups committed to teaching CW. It’s fun too—a bit like learning an instrument tbh. Learning it gives you access to very cheap, small, lightweight QRP (low-power) transcievers with great performance worldwide. It’s also a useful skill when band conditions aren’t as favorable.

I don't think the salary difference is completely unjustified. It makes sense companies want to save as much as possible. Constantly being on a job search is not feasible though, at least not if you want to have some time for yourself and family.

There is a sort of asymmetry with how full time salary jobs work, where companies push employees to their limit, implicitly asking for all their focus (or else you risk bad reviews or worse), and at the same time they treat them like assets than can be moved around like chess pieces. The consistent thing would be to allow employees to do their job without caring about the organization, without liking the product, etc., or if the company wants that level of loyalty and passion, they should reciprocate and make sure their salary is growing with their careers and compensating for things like inflation.

And here is the source code for Anki: https://github.com/ankitects/anki

If you want to convince people to use your spaced repetition software over Anki, you need to tell us what's so wrong with Anki that can't be fixed with plugins and that's worth $10 per year.

You must demonstrate value above what Anki does.

I look at your list of projects in https://0xdev.gumroad.com/ and they're all pre-order of things that already exist elsewhere. To me, this smacks of "give me money, and I'll give you promises." Especially the project https://0xdev.gumroad.com/l/HelpFundMe?layout=profile

You want something for free? I'll give you something for free.

Anki absolutely can be improved. For new users, it's very confusing: having multiple decks, the separation between cards and notes, and the search interface are hard for new users.

Combine something that is simpler for new users with a demonstrably better algorithm and you might have a minimally viable product. But you need the product FIRST before you request money.

Give us something that we can run for one week and know that it's better than the free software that is Anki.
It definitely is the court's place to rule on excessive compensation packages. Musk and the board have fiduciary responsibilities to the other shareholders. The other shareholders can sue if they believe they are being stolen from. The court found that there had been no real process to decide if that much compensation was in the best interest of the shareholders because it seems they are all just Musk puppets.
There are virtual machine plug-ins that add interpreted C/C++ to environments (browser, c/c++ interpreter for command line shell, gnumeric/excell, ....).

There are tools which can be run in same developer environment that javascript is run in which can be used to translate javascript into compilable C/C++ code (perhaps also adding/including the step of compilation of c/c++ code into runable binary)

Typically, a vm which directly interprets/runs javascript is used in place of the transpile steps (change javascript into c/c++ source code / compile source / run source)

The upper bound on MACHOs has looong since eliminated them as the explanation for all of dark matter though...

It doesn't matter though. Even if they hit at 0.01% of their orbital velocities, that's still 100km/hr. So it's like a full highway speed car crash. No way two sats colliding will survive that.

And remember the collision speed can range from 0 to 200% of their ground velocities. Getting that close to zero is extremely unlikely.
Incredibly fascinating.

Unconvincing. I've build road profile sequences (RPS) for F1 race tracks, and their timings stay pretty constant over the years. Such a RPS could be imported into their drone track SW easily, and then you won't need an expert pilot.

There's clearly been a ton of progress in this area; the only issue is that feature development is even faster :) I'll keep an eye out for specific issues that seem helpful to raise.

The biggest one I have right now is a little niche, but probably useful to address. Moderately complex dbplyr pipelines on wide tables have a tendency to generate very long queries, and if there's an error, the generated SQL returned tends to overflow some text or line limit allotted to show the error at the command prompt. My workaround is to use sink() to dump the error to a file, which is a little painful as the sink() API and documentation are not the most straightforward or intuitive. (Hmm, I wonder if a withr wrapper would help me make something simpler to use...)
> Martin is speed-running the game, in public, and deserves a lot of leeway.

This is how I felt at first, and I appreciated (and still appreciate) the frankness of his verve for experimentation. But by this point I wouldn't use the word "speedrunning" to describe his progress; he appears to have found the practical limits of autodidactism. If his only goal in life was to produce the machine (which, to be clear, it isn't), then it would have been much faster to go to school for a few years and get a degree in engineering, while apprenticing as a machinist on the side. His publicly-broadcast education, while entertaining, is anything but efficient.

Is there evidence to believe these specific tests did not have consent or are the journals saying that the fact that these studies were done in China is reason enough to refuse to publish any genetics papers from China?

> In ecology (which mimics the scaling of any physical system) population responds to resource stresses. I consider this a signal of resource scarcity.

Resource scarcity is not the only thing that causes population to plateau. Human intelligence is a pretty huge variable here which allows us to do things like fulfill our evolutionary urges without producing children. I'll agree that scarcity causes population to plateau, but I don't agree that a plateau in population is inherently an indication of scarcity.

It's rather silly to talk about hypothetical ecological populations in a void, when we can observe the actual populations we're trying to make predictions about.
Ya, ya, and full self driving is already here too, right?
I thought that the constraining resource was money in all but the top 1000 or so businesses in the world with effectively 99%+ margins, mostly because they control their markets absolutely and can raise prices or change demand like the big three algorithmic advertising companies. Everybody else in the cloud goes to the wall without very careful cost control, which is by no means automated or low cost, either.

On the website Ente mentions the AI features are not yet ready and can not be used on phones yet. Is there an approximate timeframe on when they will be usable (on Desktop & Phone and if possible even shared in a family)? I use the search & face recognition on Google Photos a lot.

I‘m absolutely fine with having the ML run on my Desktop as long as it syncs to the phone as well.
It is kind of hacky for sure, but I've gotten way more productive with it than I've ever been with Python before. Like I went my entire career (and time before that) where the words that came out of my mouth after "Python" were "is bullshit", but this year due to both AI jank and other unrelated tools having no path but Python, I've made my peace with it--and yeah it's spotty, though with Pylance I think it's fine, and it saves me from so many category errors that make old-Python infuriating.

That's part of why digital libraries are important!

"Planet Nine" is a term of art that refers specifically to the 2016 theory.

"Planet X" refers specifically to a theory proposed by Percival Lowell in 1906 about the orbit of Uranus which was disproven in 1993 by Voyager 2 flyby data.

They are both more specific theories than just "a trans-Neptunian planet we haven't discovered" which is overly broad.

This is a good spot, ECS really shines when you have a lot of homogeneous entities. Which is why demos are all about enormous cities, thousands of troops or basic particle systems.

If your entities are more heterogenous or don't need to be running all the time the benefit for gameplay code disappears quite quickly. In particular the acronym conception of ECS architecture isn't the most performant way of organizing things. Which is why you end up with concepts like archetypes to base memory organization around.

Nothing wrong if you're writing a general-purpose engine around ECS as an organizational principle but for game makers you still need to think about memory access patterns and how to organize around that.

If you're just trying to make a game then make the game and organize the game data around it's unique access patterns. If that's just a flat array of tagged unions then who cares.
