The big 2024 National Academies consensus paper says that they see similar long term damage from chronic fatigue syndrome and several rare diseases, but don't mention this as an outcome from more common viruses.[1] (Skip ahead to the summary).

The big open question is cumulative damage from multiple COVID-19 infections.[2] There are now many people who have had COVID more than once. (US: 60% at least once, maybe 11% more than once.) A few people have had it many more times, but that seems to involve some pre-existing condition. A VA study of older veterans indicates that cumulative damage is real in older adults. As
time goes on, there will be more previously healthy people who have had COVID multiple times, and this question will be answered the hard way.

The hostility doesn't seem to care if things are generic or not.

Remember when they broke ZFS by marking the "save FPU state" function as GPL-only? Telling the kernel to save registers so they can be used for scratch space is one of the most implementation-independent things you can do.

While the raw numbers might suggest that the heat from cars is negligible compared to solar radiation, that overlooks the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect and the synergistic feedback loops that make urban areas hotter. The UHI effect shows that cities are warmer than their rural surroundings because of concentrated heat sources like cars, buildings, and human activities. This local heat really impacts urban microclimates.

Plus, the heat from cars creates feedback loops. More heat means more use of air conditioning, which releases even more heat exhaust, making the area even hotter. This cycle just keeps adding to the overall heat load in the city. So, even if the direct heat from cars seems minor on its own, it actually plays a significant role in making urban areas warmer.
They were speaking hypothetically. Even if denotes a scenario where the impact per infection is equal.

In such a scenario Covid has worse impact due to the higher transmissibility. People seem to get it every 6-12 months. Flu infection is much less frequent.
I'm sure it probably is faster for thier own workloads (which they are choosing to benchmark on), why bother making it if not. But that is clearly not universally true, a GPU is clearly more versatile. This means nothing to most if they can't for example train an LLM on them.
This is kind of a strange comment to leave to the author of the tool that's being compared...

Obviously "nothing in life is free" - the person you're replying to literally spent a bunch of time writing a solution to their problem.

"what do you expect?" - the person literally wrote what they expected after having written the code to do exactly that. OP has been all over this thread being incredibly diplomatic in both explaining why they wrote a replacement for (part of) tmux, and constantly following it up with "but by all means if that doesn't sound right to you, use tmux it's a great tool".

It feels a lot like "well, if you don't like it go do it yourself", which is deeply ironic.
Our whole aim is to make you happy by downranking those false positives while remaining explainable. We blogged about the explainability part in case you're interested: https://www.overwatchdata.ai/blog/the-imperative-of-explaina...
In time the used market will be filled with these cars that bare bones fans don't want. That will push down the price of recent used cars which means trade-in value lowers and new car fans can afford less which increases the barebones demand in new cars.
I also enjoy the Peter Molyneux parody Twitter account, "Peter Molydeux" (@PeterMolydeux), who posts ridiculous Molyneuxesque game ideas. Somebody actually ran a game jam where they implemented a bunch of them!

Play More Than 200 Ridiculous Peter Molydeux Games Right Now

https://kotaku.com/play-more-than-200-ridiculous-peter-molyd...

Ever wanted to play a video game where you and seven friends control the legs of an octopus? How about where you play as a pigeon and fly from building to building, convincing businessmen not to jump to their deaths? How about a game where the "pause" button is your only weapon?

Thanks to last weekend's "What Would Molydeux?" game jam, you can now play those games and hundreds more.

What began as a tossed-off twitter joke exploded into a bit of a global phenomenon as hundreds of game developers worldwide pooled their talents in a nigh-unprecedented embrace of ridiculousness.

This article seems to not really mention the "knowingly" or the "abetted". If there are people killing other people, I wouldn't say that a communication method was to blame. In Scream, Sidney didn't sue the phone company who let the killer call her from inside the house. The idea that some news feed posts whipped people up into a killing frenzy just sounds absurd.

I wish the author could see that, and if the case is valid, to provide it, instead of some pretty tenuous claims of connection strung together to lead up to a demand for money.

I did try to go to the link that evidenced the "multiple" times Facebook was contacted in a 5 year period, but I couldn't get through. How many times was it, for anyone who can?
I know this is fake, but if I ever see this, I'll find out where it came from. Then I'll break the device I see it on. Then I'll go to where it came from, and I'll ask them who told them to do that. Then I'll set the building on fire. Repeat until my demise or incidental coup. I will go full Liam Neeson in Taken over this, and I implore you to pledge the same for the love of everything.
the west only cares about this to weaken russia. Weapons will only cost more lives.

"Weapons will stop this war"?
How? What's the end game?
When it started the people believed it would be over in 3 days. Now all of a sudden people believe ukraine can destroy russia? How many more ukranian and russian soldiers must die?

This war will not be stopped by weapons. Just like any other. But if it was, i can't see a defeated russia, but a destroyed world.

Or what is the end-game here with the weapons? What do you think is a feasible outcome here?
I like the idea of respect where this comes from, but I think that titles have been perverted by SEO way too much and at some point I need writers to stop trying to lure me for my own good.

I wish we can get descriptive, boring, but accurate titles back.
Why the recent shift?

1) Everything being in public was the aberration. Purely a post-Facebook thing.

2) … and also it was never really true, dig past the surface for almost any interest and you’ll find private forums, private sections of forums, private chat groups, groups of people hanging out IRL and not posting notes online, et c. When has this not been the case?
The price of these drugs is outrageously expensive, though, like $1000/mo. If they were to cost insurers $100/mo instead (like they do in some other countries), Medicare would immediately start covering it.

Also, people living longer costs Medicare more money, not less. Longevity doesn't save insurers money like other measures of health outcomes do.
I would suggest checking out the Databricks announcements on nl-to-sql topic this week. They address exactly these complaints head on (pointing out most things released so far are just calls to OpenAI and fail at basic accounts) and run through their approach to the problem so it actually works (lots of different steps, calls to different models tuned for different tasks, etc.) The detais wer fascinating.
The Montreal Protocol was nothing short of miraculous. It was the first international treaty to be ratified by all 198 members of the UN (including the Holy See), and it's been called "perhaps the single most successful international agreement to date" by former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. It's one of history's greatest achievements of environmental policy and international cooperation.

The impact of CFC's on the ozone layer was first proposed in a scientific paper in 1973; the authors testified before the US House of Representatives in 1974 and significant funding was provided to study the problem. The Montreal Protocol was then signed in 1987 despite industry protests that the research was uncertain and there was no crisis that demanded urgent action. This was only 14 years (!) after the effect was first hypothesized. The discoverers of the effect won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1995.

I don't expect to see anything even remotely as successful as the Montreal Protocol in my lifetime.
most govt implementing face identification is NOT on device.

I have 5+ acres, so a lot of my weekend is spent maintaining it (or learning how to), working in my wife's garden, and taking care of my animals. Outside of that, I have a wife and 2 small kids so a lot of my time is spent with them and taking care of the house. I may spend an hour or so responding to work emails. Other than that, I'm currently reading Dune and watching Dark Matter (I read the book years back) but that's less of a strict 'weekend' thing and more of a 'when I get a chance' thing.
Water retention also helps to prevent flash floods downstream and reduces the spikes in city water canals.
> Uber option to let me drive

I'd like this one. I've had quite a few trips where I asked the driver (Grab/Gojek, not Uber) if I could take over, and they pretty much always don't have an issue with it. Would have been nice to get a discount for it.

Plenty of options. From complete Russian withdrawal (unlikely absent a Russian civil war) to a return to 2015 borders with neutral zones manned with international peacekeepers.

Worst case: keeping the fronts where they are while Putin burns war materiel.

> This war will not be stopped by weapons. Just like any other.

You’re claiming wars have never been stopped by weapons?
Covid actually reactivates EBV.

Different etiologies can have the same symptoms and it is silly to suggest there is no difference between diseases. They’ve found tests which can distinguish long Covid.

Exactly, VC's and Wall Street hate sustainable growth, or stability (they call it stagnation). Instead, it has to be pedal to the metal growth quarter after quarter, more money, more value, more customers, all of which are finite resources. There's only so many customers, who have only so much money, and who only see so much value in the service.
Do you believe the USA is attempting to make parts of Syria new American states? If not, then this is not an ongoing annexation attempt.
Phoenix's farmlands and orchards have been taken over real estate development. Real estate development and speculation has been the main driver of economic growth in Phoenix since the 60s, and accelerated with the widespread use of A/C.

I don't think people in Phoenix have lawns because there is more local water.

As far as Tuscon, Brad Landcaster's neighborhood has a tree canopy, and it's all watered by rainfall, and street storm water runoff harvested in eddie basins.
Thank you! I too have aphantasia and I really appreciate this comment :)
More errors for France:

- Beaujolais is in place of Lyon. Beaujolais is a wine region just north of it.

- "Tolose" is actually spelled "Toulouse"

- "Anduoillette" is actually Bordeaux. "Andouillette" (without the typo) is a pork sausage made from intestines. Typically french, but the region most associated with this food is in the opposite of the country, in the North-East.

- "Marsupial" is Marseille

We do the "good morning", if we remember. It's just as much a way to signal that you're present. We're only a few, 5 to 7 depending on the day, and it's via IRC so it's hard to know if people are present or if it's just their bouncer.

It's just a private IRC channel, no bots, invite only and we all know each other from previous jobs or consulting gigs. Once in a while we'll track down an old co-worker who we miss or wonder what happened to, and invite them. Some pop in ever so often, some only once and others have ended up sticking around 24/7 (the core 5/6 people who are almost always around).

With the continued degradation of pretty much everything online that little IRC channel has become my favorite part of the internet. We can talk privately about politics, projects, home life and we support each other in our new jobs.
The 386 was technically enough to run NT, but the additional features of the operating system demanded additional resources, making it sluggish on the hardware most home users actually had. NT also couldn't use drivers written for DOS or Windows 3.x.

Conversely, Windows 9x could have made more aggressive use of the processor's protected mode, but it would have broken a lot of programs that worked fine on Windows 3.x. Windows 9x was still capable of running most 16-bit real mode software and generally allowed it to access BIOS and hardware, which NT couldn't allow without breaking the security model. Many "enterprise" customers even stayed on 9x instead of NT simply because it ran the software they used.

It took another few years before the hardware got fast enough and the software base moved to mostly 32-bit protected-mode code to merge the two product lines. However, there were still problems when it finally happened with XP.
Easy vs tons-o-boilerplate.
Engagement at work and engagement in the rest of your life are not mutually exclusive things. Especially in the tech industry. We are some of the most well-paid, pampered people in the history of work.

I've been doing this for over 20 years and if you counted the number of days I worked on a weekend or more than 8 hours, it would probably add up to less than a month.
Flagged as the link seems to be some kind of Ethereum leaderboard and nothing to do with the claimed title.

Seems very low class to me, no thanks.
There are three downloads: for Mac Apple Silicon, Intel, and Universal.

You see the 600MB binary, because it's probably Universal (Apple Silicon + Intel) DMG. To have a smaller size it's better to download DMG for your Mac CPU architecture. You can find all three versions at https://clipbook.app/download/

I should say that even Apple Silicon or Intel app will still be ~330MB. It's because of the SDK I use to build this app.
> "clean/green energy shill"

From a purely technical point of view, I would personally love if the world built more nuclear energy if it made sense. Yet I routinely experience being called a shilled, or stupid online, for even daring to think that maybe nuclear doesn't make sense anymore.

The love for nuclear energy in social media isn't as much based on pure rational thought as its proponents would like to think. It's a super interesting and sexy technology with lots of incredibly fascinating engineering challenges.. and because of that the proponents are rationalizing why nuclear is the solution. That's my impression anyway. I say that because I sense those feelings within me myself. I WANT to believe nuclear is the solution. But if you look at the full picture, it's hard to see how it ever could be.

Just because France had some success building lots of nuclear when labor was super cheap and there was lots of synergies with nuclear weapons programs, doesn't automatically mean that nuclear makes sense in the 21st century.

France has recently had to import energy from Germany and is now aiming for at least 50% renewable energy. While Germany has been able to cut dependence on Russian gas, the Russian nuclear energy has been exempted from EU sanctions. And France's supplies of uranium from former African colonies is under threat.

> when the Koreans

Where you've had scandals around faking certificates related to nuclear energy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Korean_nuclear_scandal

"Just do it" isn't a viable model for nuclear energy anymore. It has to be done 100% right.

I might agree it's not entirely rational. But even if you're an avid believer in nuclear energy you should absolutely support doing it 100% right every time.. because even one more disaster will make people lose faith in nuclear energy for another decade or three.

I'm sorry but people just don't think rationally when it comes to nuclear energy. Maybe Fukushima didn't kill anyone, but people would rather die a very slow death by coal than having to suddenly and unpredictably have to leave their home and whole life behind due to a nuclear disaster. It might not be rational. But if you're hoping that humans will suddenly become 100% rational you're in for disappointment.
Is it? Isn't this an IRL scorpion + frog tale? Except this time the scorpion was like “Yeah I’ll bite ya”. Not a ton of pity for the frog.
They are passing those laws. As of 2020 all new construction homes sold in California must have a solar system installed. Also in many parts there's strict requirements on what type of landscaping they can have (no grass, only specific plants and drip irrigation allowed).

If nothing else, there are still legitimate medical risks to catching COVID for people who are immunocompromised (at minimum). A good mask lets them at least have less risk being out and about.

Plus, given how often it mutates, perhaps people just don't want to get sick again even if they don't have any long-term aftereffects.
Which is why no smart competitor would enter into that market - you'd never make back the profits from the price war.
I've thought a bit about the practicality of using an LLM for a president type job. I think it could work ok with some manual override. You'd need documents with the plans and principles to follow but they'd be open source so the people could see what was going on, and if it said something silly the human leader could override but it would be public so the voters could see the LLM said do this but the humans said no that so you could keep tabs. It would make the process more open than the present system where politicians lie to get elected and then do other stuff behind closed doors.
Well, organizations making large profits would like to laugh me out of the room. Next to tech stocks, ‘defense’ stocks are my second largest basket of stocks. I don’t expect that these companies will stop making large profits for the near future, but I keep an eye on my investments.

I find it interesting, in general, in this thread, that so many people dismiss what on the surface is a contrarian view (i.e., drastically reduce our overseas military presence), without more open debate.

Maybe my idea is wrong, but I feel it is worth a conversation.
What would happen is that some of those countries will switch to a different geopolitical block. It's difficult to make a proposition to a country with a foreign army stationed in their territory, maybe because they lost a war 80 years ago or needed help not to lose it. It's easier if that army goes back home. If the USA want to give up their empire to China or Russia, they start with closing the bases. The fallout is economical as well, because American culture and products are going to have more competition and less reach.
I live in Phoenix now, and there are plenty of lawns.
Kagi returns basically the same result set including the AI generated slop, which is disappointing.

I don't know honestly. I don't like what Mozilla is doing with Firefox, and I'm not sure that we should support it.
I'm sure they'd savor the opportunity, but I don't know if they'd really be incredibly successful and picking most of those Nintendo-only gamers if Nintendo just disappeared. I imagine a good chunk of those people who bought a Switch almost exclusively for Animal Crossing would end up just becoming a mobile phone/tablet gamer instead of making the jump to Xbox/PlayStation.

But hey, the future is unknown, and my crystal ball is on the charger at the moment.

And there's gamers like myself, who mostly play games on PC but still have a Switch because while I can play a lot of those console games on my PC there's no offical way to play Zelda or Mario or the wide range of Nintendo first-party titles on PC. I think if Nintendo had a SEGA level implosion and started only being a publisher, whichever platforms Nintendo publishes for would become the heir to those consumers. I know that would be the case for me.

Assuming Nintendo steps away from the hardware biz, would they publish games exclusively to one console? Would they just start making mobile games? Would they sell on all consoles and PCs? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You can go to a normal store and buy a device using fuchsia today, it's just not advertising that is the OS under the hood. That is why I do not think what you said is the same thing.

It's possible! I live in the silicon valley bubble.

I've worked for 5 startups (and had offers from about ~5 more to know what they would've paid). None have been close to total comp at a public company.

All of them have been very competitive (or even higher!) on base salary.

But there's no recurring RSUs in a startup (since there is no stock to trade), and rarely bonuses. So total comp is about 30-40% of my total comp when working at public companies.
Lack of access to cheap energy is a big one, its shaping the politics and the economy.

Also, western brands are losing markets and brand recognition.

Traditional topics/channels?

The reason why sites like HN/Reddit ... etc "work" is because you've got to click into the comments on some post to see those comments. You're not going to the hacker news front page and just getting _all_ the comments nor is some algorithm deciding which posts/comments you should see and which you'll never know about.

Threads work - to a point - but at some meaningful scale, you need all these CTOs on a server with sub-sets of them in various channels dedicated to particular conversational themes.

The more accessible a community becomes, the more important consistent moderation is... otherwise it'll just go downhill fast.
Agreed. I am nowhere near that space, but I found it more interesting than I anticipated. If there ever was a submission that encapsulates HN purpose, this may be it.
I think it’s important to calibrate what “great pay” is in a full spectrum way.

Cutting corners on details here - Jane, making $120-150k as an engineer at non-FAANG, but fully (or at least maximized risk controlled) on the right side of every gnarly automation unemployment theme we all know is coming simply because Jane knows how to code, link systems, and is ahead of the curve such that she can learn how to use AI in time, is in a much different and much more beneficial position than Sarah, at a bank, making $300k, knowledge stops at excel wizardry, and a LLM is about to unemploy her at 40 bc it gets better than a CFA 3.
