Wow... that took me several, uh, seconds to find. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2516491 There's your hard data.
What do you mean by "immunizing vaccines"? In the first sentence, you say that flu vaccines are not and in the second you admit they are. Maybe you meant that their coverage is not comprehensive. If so, that's what you…
Pushing those vaccines saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
This is usually modulated by whether the fib is about something "material". In fact, he probably would have had the same decision with or without the claim which is the essence of "not material". My own personal take is…
That's a fair point. My own experience with converting unpaid customers is that it is really hard.
A bad abstraction would have caused many updates in many places because the API would never quite stabilize due to having been a force-fit from the start. A uses the abstraction, but finds the API doesn't work. Fixes…
I, on the other hand, have had to burn through countless cycles of security alerts because I used a library for JSON parsing that had all kinds of other features that I didn't need or want. The security bugs were all in…
That may be true, but it is likely that the contract limits you to arbitration, forbids class action and limits the penalty dramatically.
Add in the fact that they claim 900 million weekly uniques. Pretending the growth and cost rates compound as described in the article, they will need to generate about 100x current revenue to growth out of their current…
Cutting out the middlemen. Getting rid of the pesky chlorophyl syndicate.
and I cry again when I see mountains of fly ash from coal burning.
This is an important point. In the 1980's, PV panels extracted 5-10% of the incident solar energy which could be converted to heat at roughly 100% efficiency. Solar thermal collectors collected at 80+% efficiency and…
It scales up just the way that siloes on farms scale up ... you build more of them. And the Finns put a priority on staying warm. For normal electrical generation, they largely use wind with a growing solar fraction.
And even better is to augment it with large scale batteries. Nuclear is fine, but very expensive and very slow to deploy.
The adoption rate in places like Australia and even Texas is what demonstrates that the argument holds water. People wouldn't be rushing to shift entire markets at the observed rates if the economics were upside down.…
It would be pretty easy to put a DuckDB data source into this code. It might be pretty easy to use overloading to get special case implementations that form SQL queries progressively until the results need to be…
Are you saying that you have not observed these things in the world? I definitely have. The blog didn't do the work for you, but if we look at some of the claims I think it is pretty clear: a) increased training scale…
You're right. It's the physics of cooling the beasts and the communication delays that make those plans ludicrous. To turn your assertion on its head, the fact that the supporters don't seem to be able (or willing) to…
Putting your single egg into multiple baskets isn't all that much better. Now you have many points of failure rather than a single point of failure.
The guardrails are channels. If you have a mutex on a structure, linters such as are packaged into Goland will catch oversights quite effectively. If you are using fancier concurrency structures, you should consider…
Removing enough allocations to avoid fragmentation can be maddenly difficult/tedious.
You made up a group in the past and you made up things they say and then draw the inference that a different group in the present is somehow morally disadvantaged by obvious inference. Perhaps your name-calling is not…
Does it terrify you to look at children? Not so many years from now, some of them will surpass you. A few years after that all (that survive to that point) will surpass you. Does that terrify you just as much?
In Erdös idiosyncratic nomenclature, all the best proofs are "in the book" and it was always a joyful thing to not only find a proof, but to find the proof that is in the book. Who cares if it is God's book or the…
Really?! Care to cite a reference to that proof?
