I admit I haven't fully read the article, but isn't it obvious from the start that you can't detect "fake news" without looking at the outside world for facts? Any approach that is trained to detect "fake news&

Since this is oriented to the general public, one would assume that this information has already been factored in the announcement. i.e. that the CDC has published this guidance because now the evidence for the vaccinated population not nee

I don't think them falling behind is necessarily bad. Modern systems, languages and programming practices are much nicer, but they also have a lot more effort behind processors, compilers, frameworks, operating systems, etc., so overal

Often I rerun the entire build from scratch when I'm uploading some nontrivial change and I want to really make sure what I'm uploading builds. Clean builds using containers or chroots will often need to rerun a configure step to

To avoid penalizing customers who don't use it, they could make you incur an instant overcharge fee when you go over your limit, say 5% of your limit, which would be pooled to compensate for any extra cost Amazon could need to incur to

I don't remember exactly, but I believe I was related to Java, probably trying to debug some Java app with IntelliJ. I'm not 100% sure if the problem was due to some intrinsic LD_PRELOAD/libc limitation or something related t

by sigotirandolas 6y ago
I tried to use similar LD_PRELOAD solutions but I always ended up finding some programs that don't go through libc, so they bypassed the VPN. badvpn-tun2socks works with everything I wanted, but it's not as easy to control the pro

Counterpoint: There's a constantly updating timestamp at the top of the page that suggests it's automated and real time.

If I understand correctly, Debian decides to deliver a certain version of a package (say v1.2.3) for a certain Debian version and they generally keep that version of the package fixed (or try to stay 100% compatible with it), minus security

Do you need any evidence for this? Shouldn't this be handled in the same way you would patch a security hole even if you had no evidence it was being exploited? I.e. shouldn't Reddit let a community exist, even if some users pos

I see it as a spectrum, where to be an "expert" you need to both skilled in the field and a good communicator/politician. The problem is, in those areas where there's not a tight feedback loop as mentioned in the article

I used the mobile app to sign up. However, I just signed up to lurk (Streisand effect), so I can't tell if the fake mail+phone allowed me to post/comment.

I was able to sign up recently with a throwaway e-mail address and made up phone number. But I was also surprised it asked for it.

Yeah, don't interpret my comment as a belief that Trump was unaware and didn't know anything could happen. You would need to be dumb to believe that, for example, he didn't know anything about the Proud Boys or QAnon as he cl

I also don't see anything particularly damning in those words, it seems usual Trump gibberish. But then, even before he announced the march ("Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!"), many of his hardcore

I mean, given the current situation, which company wouldn’t do something so that if another event as bad or worse as the Capitol storming happens, they can say “look, we did all we could! It didn’t happen due to our platform!”

I think my post was unclear since you are not the first user interpreting it in this way. I'm not saying companies should port their software to new operating systems and software stacks (presumably forever). The user would be responsi

Another closely related possibility is that a lot of processes in science are inherently serial, i.e. they can't scale with the number of researchers, because they require slowly integrating information and making consecutive steps of

I'm not very familiar with Roblox, but if I understand it, it's an online platform that allows others to build games on top of it, and like Farmville the servers are exclusively provided by Roblox. In this case, I would say the mo

No, you don't have a moral obligation for it to run in any future tech stack. But it should be able to run in the same tech stack it was running before, or provide some way to interoperate. The game shouldn't be designed in a way

Morally, shouldn't it clearly be Zynga's fault, since the game was designed so that it only runs on top of a technology stack that can not be replicated by third parties and only they are technically capable of changing this d

Not just old software, but with a lot of open source software you usually have a spectrum of choice between more basic, lightweight software and more elaborate, heavyweight software. Think LXDE vs XFCE vs KDE vs Gnome as desktop environment

I'm just a layman, but I often ponder this same "Why are some companies so big when a small team could do about the same thing?" and my mental theory currently is: 1. The amount of engineers scales very badly with respect to

As a counterpoint, in Spain where I live, mask wearing in public is very high (Statista says 95% always wear a mask) and we still have a lot of lockdown measures, as infection numbers are still fairly high. You could argue that we have lock

I noticed the same thing. I believe HN has some way to demote posts - not sure if it's based on reports, manual moderation, or something else - which often happens to politics / non-tech / controversial posts.

That's an interesting observation... it's true I don't check the news I find plausible as much as the news I am already sceptical about, while I mostly become sceptical about the news items not because of the reporting/w

Amen. It's very frustrating when you're skeptical of a news item and it's essentially impossible to find the original source as it is not linked and apparently impossible to find with the information given. It doesn't st

Fair enough, I understand your point better now. I also remember hearing a lot of arguments for lowering the curve lowering overall deaths back in March - either by heavily suppression or elimination of spread, or by a vaccine or effective

by sigotirandolas 6y ago
My point is that that the argument you made - i.e. that lower transmissibility aka. "flatten the curve" lowers total mortality in the SIR model - doesn't hold unless you assume that you can keep transmissibility down forever
