Hardware support. It is trivial to write libraries that can emulate these in many languages, but the performance drop is going to be pretty sharp if you are coding your basic arithmetic by hand. Unless you are writing code for an FPGA...

The linux kernel forces your application to include the vDSO shared library (by pre-loading it). You can ignore it and talk to the kernel directly, but you cannot get the same performance as you could when using that shared library. On some

I didn't know I was going to look more, but I decided to look at his Hungary data. He mentions in conclusion that his R^2 of 0.22 is "relatively low", but does not seem to understand that is means his theory fails to explain

Ok, I should have read further and posted a full reply. I had seen his data before, and it looked a bit scary, so I am interested, but I also quickly noticed that it lacked statistical error bars and was excluding any data that contradicted

Nice to see the top link later realized his fears were unfounded and wrote about it: https://igorchudov.substack.com/p/good-fertility-news-for-va...

Platform ABI typically specifies that libatomic must be dynamically linked, since otherwise libdl will misbehave. Lots of other common libraries including libpthreads, libm, libgfortran, libquadmath also are frequently linked (though common

> The drop in fertility is, horribly so, blindingly obvious. In country after country, 9 months after mRNA injections rollout for young people we are seeing a striking drop in births. The US birth rate continues to climb after the introd

So, really, it was discussed, as indicated since you and they heard of the discussion. It is indeed quite simple to discuss even, since the conversation should end with learning that this is covered in high-school stats class. What is more

Starts on page 33, for any one else curious at looking. Quite interesting to see what appears to be their hazard ratio relative to the state population: their members have a much higher excess death rate, and their members show minimal corr

I think it was quite different from that in this study. This result appears to suggest that the mRNA remained an effective vaccine vector against new viruses, but suggested that it also slowed the body's immune response to an unrelated

As another commented pointed out, we have hundreds of millions of data points in people now post-vaccination and post-boosters, which haven’t detected a problem, and only 12 here in mice, that the authors suggest warrants further study. Whi

The HN title seems to be somewhat misleadingly chopped. The study here showed that injection of a fake vaccine (coding for GFP) in mice appeared to reduce the effectiveness of future vaccines (coding for influenza) that used the exact sam

It seems like the article has cause-and-effect reversed. Dark matter is a result of noticing some problems with the mathematics according to observations, and trying to introduce extra terms that make the equations balance. Nobody just inse

Maybe because ‘gone away’ is the best it can know without a full network diagnostic? Else why is the connection timed out: did it do something wrong and get punished? Or did I wait too long to get a reply, or perhaps I was online too long t

Everyone normally has a small blind spot right off center (it is mentioned near the end in the tweet list), and can hide small objects, if you want to experience the same feeling at a small scale. There is a bright fluorescent bike helmet s

There is also some research suggesting that defaults in organ donation (so called presumed consent) may decrease rates of actual donations in those countries. I can't find the original podcast where I heard about it (I assume related t

Are we looking at the same graph? Vaccinations were well past the inflection point in August in the data you are responding to, so the vaccine affect would have already happened if we make the bad simplifying assumption that the population

Didn’t the 9 month mark (since delta’s effect on vax rates) pass about 3 months ago in the US (referring to parent)? Or what time/mark event are you looking for?

Good, that is what I was hoping to hear. Looking forward to seeing it published. Though unvaccinated+no-covid does not exist in steady state, so any signal that includes them cannot be extrapolated into the future. But it is seeming like va

Why would it be the same protein used then, if that happened? The booster trials for delta and omicron compared the advantages of changing the protein to using the same shot, and used the same shot because it was observed to work well in tr

How bad is it for health? This paper also notes that the virus itself is of great concern foremost, so any conclusion must be in comparison to the alternative (aka the control group): “Studies and anecdotal reports are already demonstratin

Presumably that has not been a primary concern, since other vaccines also have historically had regular boosters and haven’t seen that happen (referring to Tdap, rabies, or flu shots) Flu vaccine has historically also been around 25-50% eff

I chose to read it as "would you kill a teenager, or all of that teenager's caregivers." I felt that sufficiently raised the moral stakes, to make both choices similarly hazardous, while fitting into the parameters written in

Most of that sounds right, but the money to pay it back is not a zero-sum game. It can also comes from increased velocity, quantitative easing, the net present value utility function, or by temporarily exchanging it for other asset classes

The flow of electrons in a copper wire is much slower than a wireless or fiber optic signal, so over longer distances, theoretically it could be lower latency. I suppose the challenge is in building a fast enough encoder/decoder and de

I thought plants are notoriously bad at this in practice. Not because they can’t, but because they actually don’t need that much CO2, and are also rather finicky to keep alive. Other algae are better. And CO2 scrubbers exist for closed envi
