Still in the bottom half of most benchmarks. Still magnitudes slower than its market competitor (.NET)

Probably just temporary. New Orleans is having to rebuild their electric infrastructure. Over 2600 transformers destroyed in one day from one storm.

I never thought I’d see the day when HN starts posting random conjecture from Reddit…

The Lancet just published a study yesterday on natural infection still causing symptoms one year later (“long Covid”) for 49% of unvaccinated people.

I’ll stick to the vaccine.

While this is bad, it only affects those who intentionally left their firewall open to the outside world. Any half-decent software engineer knows to firewall the database server, no matter the vendor.

Jigsaw SRT Magnesium twice a day has solved my anxiety, muscle cramps, and heart palpitations. It’s one of the only “slow release” formulas out there. Magnesium normally can cause a laxative effect.

So are you suggesting E.T. has faster-than-light vehicles that can travel across the galaxy, breaking all known laws of physics in the process, and has intentionally avoided public contact, but still can’t dodge plain ol’ radio waves with radar?

There’s gotta be an XKCD comic somewhere that has an alien engineer telling his managers that the FTL engines work fine but they should probably do more testing on the radio cloaking device...

The videos are real. But, just because we can’t explain it doesn’t mean it’s outer space aliens.

Any sufficiently advanced technology looks like magic (or outer space alien technology).

This article makes the most sense. Occam’s Razor.

TLDR: hypersonic drones. If it truly was E.T. they would be much faster and could easily evade basic radar technology from the early 1900s.

A bit redundant.

We know how to “kill” the SARS-CoV-2 virus in vitro (in a test tube). Ammonia, bleach, UV light. Heck, even diluted mouthwash will do the trick.

The problem is that none of these approaches are safe in vivo (in the body). All of the approaches the article talks will require years of human testing. The drug EIDD-2801 does similar things but has yet to pass testing even after 12 months of studies.

When the market catches up.

I’m no Elon fan, but Tesla FSD is still a generation ahead of anything else available on the market. GM (SuperCruise) and Ford (BlueCruise) make good attempts, but it’s not near FSD quality. Plenty of YouTube videos (@EVDave) out there that compare them against even Tesla basic AutoPilot. Super/BlueCruise are fine for pre-mapped straight line highways, but for the other 90% of the roads out there, Tesla AutoPilot can traverse most of them.

Amtrak is far too slow to be relevant. Greyhound buses are faster. Renting a car and just driving yourself is nearly as efficient.

Article discusses the lack of stops in S.D.

Just because it probably wouldn’t stand up in court doesn’t mean they won’t have to experience years of stress, legal battles, etc. to the point where you just give up.

I guarantee if your GWTW sequel hits a large payday, then that company will have extra incentive to come after you. In the long run it probably won’t work. But they will grief you along the way.

Try changing your thought process a little bit. Tell yourself that you’re bigger than anxiety.

Remember friend, things aren’t happening to you, you’re happening to things.

I say try facing those issues. Your thinking mind is trying to process and make sense of those anxious issues. Example, if you were in an IED explosion in Iraq...it’s okay to think about it. It’s okay to process it. It’s okay to understand that it happened. But it’s also okay to understand that was a one-time thing and your body reacted the way it did to protect yourself from that one-time event. You may have lost some friends from that bad event, and you may have even been damaged from it. But that trauma is OVER. It’s time to heal through acceptance, talking about it verbally, and saying goodbye to those emotions.

This works well, as long as not you’re not still in Iraq at risk of getting hit with IEDs.

As a person who is currently in CBT (and seeing positive results), the biggest thing that helped me is to understand trauma, and cognitive distortions.

Just as this article says, your thinking brain is trying to piece together and digest what has happened. The problem is often that we repress it during the peaceful down time that our thinking brain is trying to make sense of it. We drown it out with drugs and alcohol, or we try to make ourselves so busy that we don’t think about it (hence creating more anxiety through work issues, family drama, or overstimulation). Best thing that works for me is to learn to accept it. Process it. Digest it. Learn and talk through examples of how it’s safe to experience the world again. This is part of the de-escalation process. Note, this goes against advice of “oh just don’t worry about it”. This approach is essentially “okay self, bad shit happened, let’s finally talk about it”. Your thinking brain is designed to keep bringing this up until it gets resolution. This is resolution.

And cognitive distortions helps me because I understand now how my mind plays tricks on me. When I say things like “this bad thing happened, I’ll never be able to get over it”, it’s giving too much power to that bad event. I don’t have to feel or think that way. I’m allowed to change my thought process and think “yeah that bad event happened, but I can’t let it be the end of the world for me.”

A little too much fanboyism with that link.

To be fair... he has convinced millions of people to put up $10k towards FSD. He’s laughing all the way to the bank. And we are....well...we’re on HackerNews complaining about him on a Friday night.

Solar is already cost effective for charging stations. Hydrogen isn’t too far behind.

Bring on the charging station infrastructure.

Perhaps the OP is the CEO of Parler?

I think OP means one shot with a lot of strains in it.

Yes. You had to take a picture of a government ID in order to get certain user privileges.

It’s not censorship when people are planning to overthrow the government and planning mass-murder.

Sure, sharing weird QAnon memes and Trump worship... I don’t care. That’s the equivalent of Fox News. But using it as a base of communication to overtly threaten to kill members of government (even ones I didn’t vote for) is crossing the line. From the article, there were hundreds if not thousands of users posting plans to regroup and bring guns and bombs to the Capitol with definite coordination between them all. It’s no longer a free-speech issue.

Signal isn’t a social network. It’s just encrypted text messages.

The vaccine is more effective. But we have 35 million doses stuck in warehouses around the U.S. because we don’t have a credible distribution plan. No way we’d be able to mass distribute vitamins to the general population. Not to mention the reluctance due to anti-vaxx social media memes.

It’s protocol to NOT allow EMTs to declare someone dead. An EMT (with a few hours of community college training, mind you) are not trained for advanced resuscitation that only doctors can perform. This absolutely will lead to excess mortality.

TSLA is easily justifiable. Their entry into other markets, like home-installed batteries (PowerWall), solar roofs, HVAC, home automation, trucking, robo-taxis, etc. all make it very attractive. Even just selling their batteries at retail stores like an Energizer or Duracell would add a few billion to their revenue stream. They’re a solid 5 years ahead of competitors in terms of battery and self-driving capabilities.

Besides, even if none of those bets pay off, they still sell 3-5 million cars a year at over $50k per unit, and waiting lists for more buyers and don’t pay a dime to a dealer network. Once their fully autonomous self-driving software is released, I see them at a $1 trillion valuation (roughly $1000/share) easily.

When the asymptomatic rate is high, it’s hard to determine if the vaccine is truly works, and to what degree. If 40% of people are asymptomatic then that would theoretically mean that 40% of challenge trial participants won’t show symptoms. Does that mean the vaccine is working? Who knows. It could be working, it may also not work.

The only way to do it and get real results is to use a challenge trial only on the elderly population where the asymptomatic rate is low and where the symptoms are exaggerated. This would mean though that if the vaccine didn’t work you would overwhelm the hospital system with a lot of sick elderly people who require the most care, when the healthcare system is already overwhelmed.

NIST finally jumped on the “long passwords are stupid and password rotations are for suckers” bandwagon about 3 years ago.

Problem is PCI, HIPAA and others haven’t changed their rules to accommodate. However, auditors aren’t stupid. I’ve told mine, “here, look at the new NIST standard” and they say “okay, yea MFA is better”. As long as you can point to their technology standards agency (NIST, FIPS, DISA, etc) you should be good to go.
