Tip: You can take Waymo to just outside the economy lot, then hop on the shuttle to the terminals. The shuttles have their own dedicated lane for going around the loop, so this isn't even that much more time. It's my new favorite way to get to LAX.

Because today is the day that I read the blog post.

I agree with you that Apple taking action on the account is not wholly unreasonable. What I found shocking was the inability to contact someone who could resolve the situation. I know this is a common issue with Google, but had expected Apple to be different.

Reading the paper, it looks like they just demonstrate classification by left loop/right loop/whorl. That's a long way from recreating a full fingerprint.

These numbers are from 1990-2000. Airlines have gotten much safer since then, so I believe they would now be much safer per-journey, too. https://www.airlines.org/dataset/safety-record-of-u-s-air-ca...

(The difference between per-mile and per-journey is still interesting!)

Exactly right that this targets a narrower surface to enable many deep learning models. I wonder how uncommon it is to hit some operation that is not included, though? It seems pretty common from a PyTorch MPS tracking issue:

https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/77764

NVIDIA's moat is not just in providing BLAS++ operations, but extending this to a wider range of cuSPARSE, cuSOLVE, cuTENSOR, etc. Without these, it feels like Apple is just trying to play catch up with whatever is popular and unsupported...

It looks like this is still missing many matrix operations like QR, SVD, einsum, etc. Is there a clear route to using these on the GPU in Python on Apple Silicon? Last I checked the PyTorch backend was still missing at least QR...

Shake the cursor and it will temporarily grow much larger.

I think cursor customizations died with memory safety.

Eugenics: the study of how to arrange reproduction within a human population to increase the occurrence of heritable characteristics regarded as desirable.

I genuinely asked in good faith and interest. If posting publicly is your concern my email is easy to find from my profile.

What exactly is the information "censored and suppressed" with regard to the mRNA COVID vaccines?

This is a peer-reviewed paper, but I also have trouble calling it a study. The underlying article makes a philosophical argument but is not a typical research study (which I take to mean the collection of original empirical observations).

Super important to note that this is vaccine effectiveness against infection. It does not address the effectiveness of vaccines to prevent hospitalization or death.

Protection from infection is sort of like cleaning up a spill on your doorstep. Curing an active infection is more like cleaning up after someone deliberately blew dirt throughout your whole house, and hid some extra in nooks and crannies.

“Note that this is the probability of an infection being Omicron given a person is infected, so it doesn’t tell us how likely a person is to test positive in the first place.”

“Note that this is the probability of an infection being Omicron given a person is infected, so it doesn’t tell us how likely a person is to test positive in the first place.”

As a matter of fact, the article repeatedly mentions the benefits of nuclear power.

This is the paper the article is covering: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5612783/

It is beautiful work, but this breathless coverage really ignores that these properties have been previously characterized in other receptor signaling families like FcRs, cytokines, FGFR, TGFb, etc.

The response on the freenode website is wild.

AFAIK Svalbard is weird in both immigration laws and a distinct tax structure from Norway. My guess is it has to do with tax avoidance schemes rather than consumption.

Just the acquisition costs would cover the entire NIH budget for a decade, though.

GP said nothing about Twitter.

You are misrepresenting the WHO statement. It’s covering a small technical issue that setting the Ct threshold for PCR tests can vary the false positive rate, particularly when there is low prevalence. Because use of this, it can be helpful to consider the Ct value of a positive result. It does not say the Ct threshold has been set incorrectly, or that PCR tests “are faulty.”

Smith et al again compares N95 to surgical masks.

Offeddu et al is the same.

Long et al is the same.

So none of these links support your claim.

I looked at three links here:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19216002

Is laughably underpowered. 2 people got a cold in one group, 1 in the other. There's nothing to derive from this.

bin-Reza is a review that does not agree with your statement.

Radonovich et al compares N95 and surgical masks, and finds no difference between those.

One has to actually read and critically evaluate scientific papers to learn something.

Ugh. This is inevitably going to be based on a complete misunderstanding of section 230. Section 230 says that platforms cannot be held liable for the speech they allow on their platforms. Repealing it would only lead to more restrictions on what people can post. We should expect more of our Senators, but I can't say I'm surprised.

It seems within Apple's style that they will eventually require this to be implemented for certain types of apps.

It looks like this is the script that generates it.

Edited my comment. I'm pretty sure at UCSC TAs were also responsible for assigning the final grades in a course.
