That analysis was just for figuring out the actual Covid death numbers using the excess deaths in this two year time period

Off topic- is there a way to see info on twitter without creating an account? I used to look at tweets from my local meteorologist on twitter but now I can’t seem to be able to view info on twitter without a modal blocking the window and as

Note that child death rates were considerably higher even 50 years ago in all of those countries.

I wonder if new languages or languages with bad documentation/lack of good textbook would warrant the users to frequent stackoverflow more.

I’m using hard anodized aluminum pan. I know there’s a lot of stigma around aluminum, but not sure if it’s real or not

But the threshold for upsetting people in power varies. So this sed doesn’t give us any extra insight or predictive power. For example I can say “The Jewish people upset the Nazi party in Germany during WW2”

Not sure how one would be able to obtain impulse response of the exhaust system

If I recall correctly he modeled the acoustics of the exhaust using equalizers and filters, so not really simulated

Looking at the different categories, it seems fuel, energy and fuel commodities were the worst offenders for inflation and their inflation dropped the most this month as well

If you assume happiness is a feedback mechanism rewarding you for doing the right thing, then it makes sense. The reward needs to be modulated to be effective, constant reward would stop us from improving

Do you have a source for this? I vaguely remember GitHub starting to offer private repos when GitLab started getting popular.

But if you had coincidentally parked near a bank while the robbery was happening law enforcement can easily pin it on you if there is lack of a better suspect. In other words you have less leverage in your legal defense

Just because mobile companies are bad doesn’t mean we would be ok with Tesla being less worse. Both are issues and should be tackled simultaneously

This in nothing new. If you are in the US, do you think salmon is naturally that pink? Do you think cheddar is so yellow? Do you think vacuum cleaners need to make so much noise? Answer to all of these questions is no and the only reason th

Because the motion of the train would alleviate the need for large power consuming fans.

If you are referring to 3D devices like FinFET then they are absolutely a thing and is being used pretty widely. If you are referring to stacking devices in 3D space then the power density becomes too much and it becomes impractical

Isn’t this all driven by supply and demand? If people really were making less and willing to pay less for these activities, wouldn’t the companies automatically start cutting costs, make the products inferior and lower prices? Doesn’t this

Analog never has really gone away. We need a lot of analog in a lot of products. Recent “comeback” of analog is analog-digital ratio increasing.

Sorry I meant to write ascending. It is weird that it swaps when i < j, but the list ends up ascending

Note that the equality sign is less than, but the algorithm sorts in a descending order.

This is not new for MS. Windows 98 and XP would get a lot of BSOD because of third party drivers doing illegal things. MS have been investing heavily in formal verification since early 2000s because of that. My master’s adviser (and many mo

Since this article talks about using renewable electricity to produce hydrogen, the H2 storage and distribution has to be more efficient and safer than transmission lines + Li ion batteries. Note Li ion battery technology is likely to keep

The linked article does not give absolute numbers in tons of CO2 equivalent but rather says reduce impact of contrails in climate by 60%.

What was surprising is that the mice didn’t end up evolving some traits and instincts optimized for the new conditions. I would’ve thought they would learn new behavior after a few generations to thrive in the new environment. This makes me

I had heard of accelerating DB using FPGA, before but never looked into it. Swarm64 looks impressive. Thanks!

That seems pretty cool! In the past doing arithmetic seemed less efficient in custom RTL compared to GPU, but maybe I was wrong.

Wow that sounds awesome. Do you use FPGA to get the work done quicker or is it because it is more efficient in terms of computation/cost?

Ask HN: Anyone using cloud based FPGA for non-ML tasks?
