The postgres query optimizer will try to minimize the number of pages read from disk (and the number of intermediate pages written to disk). Benchmarking the query optimizer by making the shared buffers large enough to hold all the data therefore seems wrong, as you're then measuring the speed of the query optimizer and the join processor, instead of the quality of the generated query plans. It would not surprise me if the generated plans for these versions are actually all the same and this is only measuring execution speed.
Indeed. This whole article hinges upon a poor understanding of data, or worse, an intentional deception using data. A million dollars now is very different from a million dollars 70 years back. Even after adjusting for broad inflation, there are far more citizens have assets worth a million dollars due to home ownership and asset price increase.

$49 times 2,000 is $98,000, not around $10,000. Yet your argument still holds. There are many reasons for that.

1. You are paying a developer that works 100% on that, year after year, and not a hire that won't be there when something goes wrong in the future after an OS update, new hardware, anything. This is basically your argument. Let me add:

2. In some parts of the world far away from SV but still in the West, $100k are about two years of gross developer salary, not what the developer actually gets at the end of the month. Point 1 still holds. Where it's 10 years of salary maybe companies could be tempted by a custom solution.

3. You are giving $49 per server to that developer but you are probably getting more per server from your customers. If you have thousands of servers you probably have a viable business, so that's just yet another cost of doing business.

The article is about how higgs field gives mass to particles. This process is so complicated that in order to explain it to laymen physicisits developed a “spherical cow” method. Prof. Strassler thinks this explanation (he calls it a “phib”) is wrong. I agree. But I think the real problem is that in physics the concepts of “particle”, “field” and “mass” do not have universal and precise definitions. So Prof. Strassler uses a concept of “giving mass to particles” but what he calls particles are really waves or maybe a statistical bump in data and we have no idea what mass is. So before the higgs we need a clear definitions of particle, field and mass.
Pretty sure he's a scammer like the rest of the people selling courses after never having done anything noteworthy or interesting in their "career".

This is what I do:

1. Use pip-tools to generate a pinned requirements list. This is used to build artifacts like docker images, installer bundles etc. All pins are upgraded periodically (manually). Any version changes are inspected (this requires "knowing" your dependencies a bit and which ones might cause problems). Finally the resulting artifacts are manually tested.

2. An automated build of master every 24 hours from completely unpinned versions. That is installing the package fresh from pyproject.toml. The automated test suite will reveal any upcoming breakage that would happen if we continue without upper bounds on certain packages. If there is breakage we decide whether to accommodate the new breaking dependencies or constrain them with an upper bound (perhaps recording a tech debt).

Good that Australia is not the only country in the world, indeed. In the US, there was a measurable change in death rates once Blue states (Democrats) got vaccinated by May of 2021. Red states, led by Trumpism, where right wing media trumpeted vaccine conspiracy theories, which lowered their vaccination rate, had higher death rates.

It's less misleading then you might think.

There are cases (enough to not be treated as just some random coincidence; with and without vaccination) where people after Covid had a sever reduction of cognitive abilities that they have problems filling out relatively simple forms. So we can clearly speak of a reduction of IQ.

And while there is a lot of research needed and a lot of open questions and already half a year (or so?) into the pandemic we did know from how we observed COVID affecting the brain that it likely will cause a reduction in cognitive abilities at least in some cases which matches the (very many) observations we had since then.

This also matches what we know from other older studies about other virus infections which have some similarity with covid, e.g. causing Neuroinflammation. So every thing we observe and do know about the underlying mechanics implies that there is very likely a causation. (Through we need more studies for Neuroinflammation.)

So scientist do need to research it more and do need to pin down the exact mechanisms this causes reduction of cognitive abilities in some cases to largely varying degrees and how much of it is a direct and a indirect e.g. psychological effect.

But for everyone else it best to assume that getting COVID might reduce IQ if they are unlucky. Because if you aren't a doctor, scientist or similar but just a random person who got COVID it kind doesn't matter if your IQ gets reduced by COVID directly or indirectly or just correlated due to some other factor you don't know about and in turn can't systematically avoid.

You raise another good point; is all monetization of a hobby the same? No, of course not. It's such a blanket statement to say "Save the money-making schemes for work".

Plenty of people have collecting hobbies that almost go hand-in-hand with monetization. Stamp or coin collecting comes to the top of my mind. Value is discussed almost constantly in those communities, and people are forever uptrading their collection to become more valuable over time; it's an investment as much as anything else, and while you will seldom make money there's always an element of minimizing loss. Same with cars, video games, cards, records, and comic books. We collect them because we think they hold value, join communities that also think they hold value, and use money as a scale to judge what value it holds.
The UK ONS data used to have the obvious flaw that people dropping dead 3 days after their first dose were defined as „unvaccinated“. In this regard, the significant uptick in deaths in summer 2021 in „unvaccinated“ looked interesting to say the least.

How are they doing their definitions now? Could not find it.

Meanwhile this new Dutch data looks quite interesting, maybe someone here would like to give it a shot:

By now there is a hell lot of data pointing at issues with the novel pharmaceutical product. Meanwhile governments all over the world continue to be reluctant to issue data on e.g. „long covid“ or immune system problems in vaccinated vs. unvaccinated, although this data would settle the debate once and for all if its outcome is in favor of getting the shots.

„Fact checkers“ have been shown again and again to be politically biased up to active manipulation. Only people who always agree with the politics they want to push have not noticed at this point.

In the sense of the article artists have always done their best to cater to the taste of the people who might pay them. At least from the 16th century.

Possibly not too much.

The airline industry is very cyclical, and you don't want to be caught with over-capacity at the wrong moment, after having invested billions to get there. That's a fast-track to bankruptcy.

For Airbus, by the time the investments for a capacity increase will take effect, the industry will possibly be in a downturn again due to the next world crisis rearing its ugly head. So they will possibly invest, but with a view on the long-term.

RealPhone – The only virtual phone number that works with your 2FA. Public Beta
Hi HN,

My name is Dima. I am building RealPhone – the only virtual phone number that works with any 2fa system.

I built it to solve my own problem. When I left the US, I didn't want to keep paying for my US phone number, so I built this. Eventually, my friends started asking me to use it.

Hopefully, someone here finds it useful, too.

Would love to hear feedback.
One of them is https://sci-hub.se/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16123251/ but there's a few more.

Anyway, it seems obvious it's culture dependent. Given a person with usual western education and a person who's never dealt with shapes and abstract straight lines in their life - would you expect them to score similarly if they're both very intelligent people? These tests heavily rely on geometric puzzles which already make an assumption about education. The tricky question is how much does that affect differences you'd see between random people tested for comparison.

Sometimes. I already told you why I asked the question, it did not specify the GUI per se, only the package manager, and the GUI front-end to that package manager is NOT the package manager itself, which is exactly what has been said. It has already been answered though. But again, if someone mentions the package manager and not the GUI, why would I believe otherwise? I was simply asking for clarification. Does asking for clarification often yield good information in your experience?

Also in every study we need a control group. How do you know for sure that the control group didn't get COVID. For all I know there is no way to know for sure you haven't been infected or sick of Covid in those 4 years, it is not like testing has been very reliable.

The earliest vaccines injected at tiny amount of the disease, from smallpox on. So she probably expected to feel like shit, and that's why she felt like shit.

However the covid vaccines did not have any covid in them. So there is no way she got a taste of covid shittyness.

Most traditional vaccines consist of either killed or weakened forms of a virus or bacterium. These provoke an immune response that allows the body to fight off the actual pathogen later on.

Instead of delivering a virus, RNA vaccines deliver genetic information that allows the body’s own cells to produce a viral protein which stimulate the immune system to mount a response, without posing any risk of infection.

The relevant bit of transcript:

Faust: I just want to follow up on something you said a moment ago about where this virus can be found in tissues. Are you suggesting that long COVID is actually, the mechanism of that, is persistent live virus in humans?

Bertagnolli: We see evidence of persistent live virus in humans in various tissue reservoirs, including surrounding nerves, the brain, the GI [gastrointestinal] tract, to the lung.

Faust: OK. And you're saying this goes beyond the PCR's [polymerase chain reaction test] ability to get it in a regular swab so that we are missing chronic cases of SARS‑CoV‑2?

Bertagnolli: Correct. The virus can persist in tissues for months, perhaps even years.

Faust: OK. I think that's certainly one theory, but I'm not sure that that's settled. Is that fair? I mean, there's one thing between people who are autopsy, they died of viral sepsis, as opposed to people walking around. Is there a distinction there?

Bertagnolli: Our emerging data shows that the virus can persist into tissues in the long term, and I think that's really critical because it does help us think about possible ways to combat it, one being better antivirals. I think there's a lot of focus on developing new antivirals as a possible way of preventing long COVID, and the other might be more aggressive treatment with antiviral therapy upon initial diagnosis.

Faust: If that's the case, then it could be reactivated just like herpes is and shingles. Are we going to start seeing people get COVID not from infection, but from themselves in reactivation?

Bertagnolli: I don't believe I've seen or heard of any instance of that, and I don't think you can ever assume that one virus is going to act like another. Certainly every virus that we know of seems to have a different effect in the body long term.

Tailscale devices with a custom domain (2023)
Main problem with Humane Pin is that is so desperately wants to be a phone app, but Humane as a company wants to be next Apple.

Until we get to a point where the LLM can just live on the device this won't get better.

Also is it a "slam dunk" that people in general actually want to move away from UIs and towards conversation as primary interface with their devices? I for one have not a single voice assistant because I don't want to talk to my devices. I also don't want them to talk back, but instead be quiet and as non-intrusive as possible.

I am sure V2 or V3 or V10 will fix (most of) these issues, but it will be hard to get there when the V1 is objectively a bad product that has no actual use cases. Even described use of the translation to help with nurses or first responders - can one pin handle both sides of the conversation? Also are first responders really going to rely on the translation with emergency medical information?
