Some think the Adenovirus-vetor vaccines have more risk of certain side-effects, especially if (by chance or a prior vaccination) the person was previously infected by a related Adenovirus. By contrast, the mRNA vaccines do the same thing i

Even tiny sensitivity would be better than nothing – or something that's so slow & expensive it's impractical. But other antigen tests purport to have 90%+ sensitivity. And the kinds of "PCR positives" they miss are

This article doesn't mention PCR tests, so perhaps we're being smart enough to accept the often-more-relevant-for-infection-control antigen tests for this purpose. (I'd not yet bet on it, given how bureaucracies have made alm

In order to stop seeing "millions of new cases", every source of new cases should be reduced. International travel is an orderly place to apply a filter, just as hospitals test all admits (even those without symptoms). Blocking al

You have an interesting specific question, about actions against a particular service (Parler). But I think your poll results may be muddied a bit, because of the the side musings about TBL's data decentralization efforts, internationa

Why would people be discontented? It's just numbers. West coast office work would happen 11a-7p USA Time, while the Midwest/Texas does 9-5 and the East Coast does 8a-4p. Here in California, bars would be open until 4a. Prime resta

A good 1st step, then abolish US time zones. Works for China & India! (While all the normies are groggy, it should then be easy to slip a change to nationwide UTC in as the coup de grace.)

For seeing an overall mortality benefit in normal times, maybe. But it's the D-related-compound levels in your body right now (or seasonally) that have a noticeable effect on fighting current viral infections. It takes about 7 days for

It's the default most places. Especially with larger training corpora or vocabularies, the negative-sampling tends perform better - & I don't recall notable situations where the HS mode is better. (I recall seeing some hints i

Ah, but I've now looked at their code, and it's not the only change! They've also eliminated the `reduced_window` method of weighting-by-distance that's present in `word2vec.c`, Gensim, and FastText. What if that'

While I still need to read this paper in detail, I'm not sure their only change is to this scaling of the update. The `koan` CBOW change has mixed effects on benchmarks, and makes their implementation no longer match the choices of the

Gensim considers the `word2vec.c` code, from the original authors of the Word2Vec paper, as canonical and seeks to match its behavior exactly, even in ways it might deviate from some interpretations of the paper. If there's an actual b

Some org might have decreed internal fine distinctions, but in common parlance, both terms are used for the same kind of after-event writeups.

In this domain, the two terms are synonyms. And neither "post-mortem" nor "incident report" appear on the log page, making either an equally fair synthesized title.
