I mean, it makes sense. There's an incredible rabbit's hole of detail on certain topics that probably doesn't belong on what purports to be a general purpose encyclopedia. Honestly a lot of mathematics etc. that is more or less worthless to people who aren't already experts in the area could probably use their own space too.
Ukraine AND Russia have both used off the shelf/even custom built racing drones for various "kamikaze" styled attacks. This is also one of the stated reasons from China about their recent export restrictions on drone parts. Just search for "Ukraine/Russia FPV drones".

Building this stuff is trivial too. Anyone who can solder a few components and follow a 30 minute youtube tutorial can have one of these.
Random question: what font did you use to make that Konilo logo? It's gorgeous.
I have heard the term “nominative determinism” for that phenomenon. New Scientist magazine used to frequently publish examples found by them or submitted by readers.

I live in South Texas and I've never seen so many trees die as did during last year's drought.
Looking at the first study, it's not showing a "shift" at all. It's comparing a group of people who recently had covid to a group of people who haven't had covid. Seems like there's some confounders in there, some of which could correlate to IQ.

The second study uses a test with 13 question. I don't think you can ascertain IQ very accurately with a 13 question test (especially if the same test is given to people with a wide range of ages).

I suppose that depends on your physical location to say if they weren't obeyed. It's true they weren't followed 100% in spirit or in practice, but they were to enough degree. At least in my area, from when lockdowns started until probably mid 2022 traffic wasn't something I had to worry about anymore. Now it seems to be back to normal. Stores seem even busier now than they were before Covid, etc.

In our lockdown capacity, it demonstrate how fast the virus spread and how much damage it did with a population largely immunologically naive to Covid). I can only imagine what would have happened in the US had it just been business as usual.
Here's another fun thing (can't edit my comment) - I decided to go look at who exactly are these lawyers, It's a collection of lawyers across 3 firms (as is common in a case this large), I went and looked at the firms they used, and if you add up every single lawyer at all 3 firms, it's 91 lawyers total (including associate lawyers - two of the firms are tiny and specialized). If they get it, that would be what... 65 million per lawyer in all the firms involved... not a bad exit ;)
This is exciting, I've been looking/hoping for something like this for a while but all the options I've come across so far were lackluster.
I have just tried setting it up with the iOS and Windows apps, I do not see an option to point it to a self-hosted server at all, am I missing something?
It’s amazing how many front end frameworks now exist that require running a backend server to even render basic HTML. This, remix, next, Astro, and so many others.

Are you arguing that adding an anthropological interpretation over the top of the automatic testing adds value? Or that it is a fudge to make the automatic testing fit whatever criteria are required?

The drone is very loud. You can hear it from hundreds of meters away. The rotors are moving at 0.8 Mach in order to achieve this speed. It's not obvious from this specific video, but if you watch a similar one from an almost identical drone you can realize how impossible it would be to get it close to anything critical unnoticed.

This didn't sound correct, so I Googled it.

"Researchers analysed blood samples from volunteers in Southern China, looking at antibody levels against nine different influenza strains that circulated from 1968 to 2009.

They found that while children get flu on average every other year, flu infections become less frequent as people progress through childhood and early adulthood. From the age of 30 onwards, flu infections tend to occur at a steady rate of about two per decade."

> Why do you assume that the benefits would outweigh said costs? That's a weird burden to set on the format.

I'm not assuming that there are those benefits, but that there are people to see them. Those who _very_ vocal about browsers (and Chrome in particular) not supporting it seem to think so or they wouldn't bother.

If I propose integrating good old Targa file support into Chrome, I'd also be asked about a cost/benefit analysis. And by building and using a polyfill to add that support, I show that I'm serious about Targa files, which gives credence to my cost/benefit analysis and also lets people play around with the Targa format, hopefully making it self-evident that the format is good, and from there that these benefits based on native support would be even better.

For JXL I see people talking the talk but, by and large, not walking the walk.
It's not clear from downloading the mobile app how one would point it to the self-hosted server.

They didn't argue the disease Covid is becoming like the disease flu. They argued the prevalence and common impact is. That's an important distinction.

Hospitalization and death is different, long covid is different, and they mention both, specifically.

Even WSJ coverage of this emphasized that point, and it's hardly a liberal rag, phrasing as "Treat it more like flu" not that the disease itself is flu-like.

On the contrary, WSJ point out:

However, public health officials cautioned that Covid still isn’t the same as the flu or other respiratory viruses. “Let’s be clear. Covid-19 is not the flu,” said Jackson at the CDC. “It still causes more serious illness and leads to more lasting effects,” he said.

Public-health experts and physicians note that Covid is still a disease that is cited as a cause of death in more than 1,000 people a week, according to CDC data. And long Covid, with symptoms that can linger months and even years, hasn’t gone away.

https://www.wsj.com/health/wellness/covid-guidelines-2024-cd...

Finally, CDC didn't ditch 5 day precautions. The part most coverage isn't headlining, CDC say if you're not isolating, wear a well-fitting mask, keep your distance from people, for five days.

They also say during that 5 days have clean air, which they define as outside air, higher fresh air mix, and purification. An office demanding people come in should ask their building if they've adopted the post-pandemic ASHRAE directional guidance (not yet formalized).

With recent research attributing long covid brain-fog to leaking blood in the brain, and research is still finding other unexplained effects, it may be worthwhile to weigh that we have a pretty good handle on the flu, but ...

TL;DR: We are still learning about this thing.
I think of it as a gateway to writing better scripts. When you first run it and it highlights what it considers to be a problem, you end up reading why it considers it to be a problem and that clues you in on some of the many footguns that Bash has.
If anyone wants to produce digital work about anything, there should be a home for that. Perhaps it doesn’t belong in Wikipedia, but maybe there’s like a “Wikipedia Open” sibling website that clearly communicates a lower standard of quality, relevance, curation, but generally ignores those requirements.

As someone who went to school in a state where almost nothing was open on Sunday at the time it was pretty annoying given that I was usually pretty busy (or what passed for it at the time) the other 6 days.

(I think there's some reluctance to engaging with video content, as opposed to a text summary or slides.)

Google serves a lot of QUIC (mostly IETF QUIC; we're trying to get rid of our usage of pre-standardization Google QUIC but smart TVs have been a persistent challenge). Facebook too. Cloudflare does QUIC too, but they don't serve as many bytes.

I knew that Netflix serves entirely TCP -- they were shocked to hear that we serve so much QUIC because it's so much less efficient without vendor support and/or significant engineering investment. They also serve a lot more bandwidth out of each cache node in part because their catalog is so much smaller than YT's (and so they don't really need to cachefill on demand), so for them, NIC offload is a hard requirement.

45% also seems high to me, which is why I'm interested in Cisco's methodology here. I think it's very possible that the Cisco report is overestimating the size of FB properties and underestimating the size of YT / other Google properties. At the same time, it seems to me that they're overestimating QUIC adoption on the YT side (YT is generally around 2/3 QUIC by bytes egressed, not 85-90%).
The notion link is not working
In absolute terms, probably, but some are declaring a renaissance associated with the increasing popularity in portable operation. Summits On The Air (SOTA) in particular favors lightweight transmitters. CW is such an efficient mode, in terms of speed, reach and circuit design that it is worth learning Morse for that single use case.

Personally, once I gained some proficiency with CW I realized that it is an enjoyable pursuit in and of itself, so now while not climbing mountains I stay on the low parts of the band and exchange postcards with octogenarians and I couldn't be happier.

We already see this with niche things like gaming fandom details (every pokemon used to have a wiki page for a bit, but now that's all properly handled by Bulbapedia) so I wonder why we haven't seen it for more serious topics before? Math, Engineering, CS could all benefit from a good wiki, I'd think.
A lockdown is going to be controversial no matter what. Sides were chosen because almost any response would cause an economic slowdown, which looks bad for the party in power. They'd get no credit for lives saved. And if they had been right that it would vanish all by itself, like a flu season, they'd improve America's financial state compared to countries that took the economic hit.

Once the sides were drawn, American polarization kicked in. There's no room for mere difference of opinion. The other side must be evil, stupid, and intent on destroying America.

I'd argue that that's especially true for the party in power at the time, though you have to take that with a grain of salt since I'm on the opposite side.

Or you could be a decent human being? Neurotic would be to tell healthy people to wear a mask, or to tell sick people they can't be out in public at all. It's not "neurotic" to expect sick people to put a modicum of effort in for a couple days while they're contagious. And trust me, I guarantee I have a higher risk tolerance than you, but I also have enough empathy to think about other people for a few minutes a day.

> In reality, most people have never even had the flu. They often mistake a severe common cold for the flu.

Really? My understanding is that high fever and body aches are the distinguishing factors between flu and other illnesses, and I distinctly remember having the flu a few times (including when I had it a few years ago and was given a test to confirm). I'd be very surprised if fewer than 50% of the population had ever had the flu.

I would agree that people sometimes use the word "flu" to refer to things that are not actually the flu, but I doubt that there are that many people out there who have been around for ~4 decades but never got the flu.
I don't understand why something being worthless to you makes it inappropriate to have on an encyclopedia we both read.
> Nope, they are chemically more harmful and dependence forming.

So are you saying that tobacco and alcohol are also drugs? Good, I too consider them drugs. Tobacco should also be criminalized and hard liquor restricted. Their current legal status does not mean that other drugs are fine, that is a logical fallacy.

> LSD, in particular, is impossible to get addicted to.

So what, it is harmfull enough as it is. No need to become addicted to fry up your brains and sanity. Since you haven't tried it, I don't get why such fuss about it.

> I’m refuting the point that there is no upside.

No, you are grasping at straws by presenting something borderline and irrelevant as important. LSD is irrelevant for the problem of drug addiction and legalization. If the junkies were taking LSD instead of meth and fentanyl, we wouldn't even be talking about this.

> Are you sure you aren’t projecting personal experiences?

Are you sure you're not living under a rock, in an echo chamber or in a protective bubble?

> The author was the head of the U.K.’s ACMD.

And Fauci was the head of NIAID. That's the good ole "trust the experts" logical fallacy. Anyway, I said that his opinion might be interesting. I didn't know it was like a scriptural reference for you, my apologies, friend. There are many other experts with the same level of expertise and quite different opinions, you know, you shouldn't fixate on just that single one.

> I don’t think you’re a misanthrope.

Why not? I would consider that a compliment. A moderate realist is a "misanthrope" for a deranged society. I don't care much for groupthink anyway, I don't herd.

> But I hope you get the help you need.

Well, at least I have no need for drugs or manufactured artificial needs and state-approved life sweeteners like a drug legalization proponents.

So perhaps it is you who are projecting, with all that jazz about drug legalization etc, eh? Well, may you find the magic pill you need, good luck with that. Who am I to reassure you. Although it won't help you much in life.

“The biggest question may be in economics and politics of the coming decades will be what to do with all these useless people. The problem would be boredom and how, what to do with them and how will they find some sense of meaning in life when they are basically meaningless, worthless.

I don't think this needs to be absolutes. Properly fitted N95 > N95 > Surgical > none.

If sick people work an average N95/KN95 mask off of Amazon (which is the 'good' I was referring to), it'd help. It's not perfect, and you can do better, and you can do worse. But it's a reasonable intersection of "easy to do" and "effective".

It doesn’t boggle my mind. It was explicitly used as a tool of cultural differentiation during an election year.

Masking/not masking became an overt way of signaling tribal association, and it was no accident whatsoever. Predictably, it caused untold numbers of unnecessary deaths.

One takeaway from all this is how willing and fervent people are to signal their group membership, even at the expense of personal life safety.
I hope I don't cause someone's pager to go off on a Saturday by linking to a staging site from HN :pray:

I'm a detail oriented nerd who loves to learn new things and explore the technologies that are out there. Python is my main language, but I have spent a decent amount of time in a number of others. I have a medium understanding of Rust, and would love to spend more time with it or Go in the future.

IMHO, it's high time to stop paying lawyers, accountants, notary publics (in Germany) and similar professions in percentages.

There is no way a bunch of lawyers deserves that kind of payout.
It's interesting that you phrase it that way. I'd phrase it as being courteous to other folks. When I'm sick I don't want to make anyone else feel poor for several days. I guess what you see as neurotic, I simply see as kindness.

Oooh this is exactly what’s on my mind. Awesome.
Thanks for sharing! I wasn't aware of these frameworks.
As for the events being processed server-side, this is exactly where FastUI differs from any other framework I've stumbled so far - the widgets are sent to the client, and it knows how to render them, so just like any other js framework there's no roundtrip for every keystroke.
Good luck! I wouldn’t just reach out to a few I’d reach out to everyone that you know had a positive view of your work and abilities. Lead with a normal catching up and ask if they want to meet on zoom or something. Then in that conversation lead into your search. Prioritize in small batches to keep your sanity, weighting by their proximity to things you want to be doing (employers, tech, domains, etc). Go in knowing the role you want and other constraints (remote, etc) and have answers … “I don’t know whatever you’ve got” isn’t the right way to start a discussion. When negotiating you always should be the first one to lay out what you need. Whoever offers something first establishes a ceiling, and the respondent establishes the floor. You should always be the one setting the ceiling.

Also, I would suggest once a year as you near or pass your work anniversary do it again. First this makes sure you don’t end up settling due to inertia, keeps you sharp in terms of what’s out there, and keeps your network robust. In those annual revisits you don’t have to have a goal, it can just be catching up and see what others are doing. Invariably folks will offer stuff along the way and how you feel about it tells you whether you’re ready to move on.
In greater NYC area you can just make an appointment and walk into any CVS or Walgreens and add a booster of your choice, every 2+ months (which is the frequency CDC mentions, though research graphs suggest moderate booster effect doesn't disappear for 6 - 9 months), and supposedly your insurance will cover it if you're in a window the federal government isn't covering it, but so far they still seem to be covering it.

Visitors from outside the US are still being able to walk in and get it as well.

While deep learning might be a good control strategy for such systems, I very much doubt it is the only control strategy that works.
