@ted_dunning I agree!! I hope we can use this model of "Massively Collaborative Research" on other projects!

New study by Linsey Marr:

“We aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 & pulled it through masks. After 1hr we were able to recover infectious virus from fabric masks but not an N95 or surgical mask. When we pressed artificial skin against the masks we found viral RNA but no infectious virus on the skin.” #MasksWork

So here is big news regarding decisions ... but not to do with SCOTUS.

The BB(5) bound has been proven.

It's big because it provides a model for building a productive community to prove a non-trivial mathematical result.

Great.

And now that is going into the training data for the next round of speech recognition systems.

Pretty soon the dictionary is going to say "Tornado - archaic ... see burrito"

Hunt added, “I’ll also say that if you talk to analysts of debates, previous, that if you’re attacking the #moderators, you’re usually losing.”

Hunt then asked what #Trump’s team expects from #Biden at the debate, but the spox again attacked Tapper.

“Well, first of all, it takes about 5 mins to Google #JakeTapper, Donald Trump to see that Jake Tapper has…” Leavitt said before Hunt cut her off, warning, “ma’am, we’re going to stop this interview if you’re going to keep attacking my colleagues.”

Leavitt continued anyway. Hunt instructed the #CNN control room to cut the feed of Leavitt & pivoted back to a panel discussion on the upcoming #debate.

“Karoline, thanks very much for your time. You are welcome to come back at any point,” Hunt said. “She is welcome to come back & speak about #Trump & Trump will have equal time to #Biden when they both join us … later this week in Atlanta… Our thanks to Karoline.”

You mean a group of controlling men didn't actually know what was better for a woman's body than the body's owner?
No fucking way!

Our infant mortality rate is already higher than it should be.

Congratulations "pro-lifers", y'all just made that mortality rate even higher, making it exponentially more painful at the same time.

Wow! What an achievement.

Texas anti-abortion heartbeat law led to more deaths after birth: study
usatoday.com/story/news/health

“In the wake of the law's passage in Texas, more babies died before their first birthday, likely due to birth defects or genetic problems that wouldn't have allowed them to live, the study found. These pregnancies would typically have been terminated by abortion, according to researchers. The Texas heartbeat law does not provide exceptions for pregnancies involving such conditions. Mothers are legally obligated to carry these babies to birth under state law.”

Wait ... remind me.

Which ones are supposed to be the baby killers?

You don't even need much synchronization machinery. Read after write, for instance is plenty strong for lots of application patterns.

You don't *have* to use a distributed file system as everybody writes to everywhere, of course.

I've compared nearly all Rust crates.io crates to contents of their git repositories.

Here's a dump of this data (33MB compressed, 150K files): lib.rs/data/rust-repo-checks.t

The comparison algorithm and the JSON format is described here:

Also not what you asked for, but grpc provides the opposite direction ... you define the structures and it generates Go for you.

Clearly, these structures aren't the same as native Go structures, but at least one of the differences is that they are less idiosyncratically Go which should mean more portability.

Just a thought.

RE: Operation Overload

I do not envy the people who are working as fact checkers (or who volunteer!), because there sure is a ton of fakes and propaganda out there to be checked and debunked.

The graffitis, videos or screenshots sent to newsrooms are fake and were fabricated for the purpose of diverting journalist’s ressources, or even try to have their narratives amplified by […]

One of the best sorts of tools for this is a full text retrieval system such as Elastic. These have become much easier to set up in recent times and it includes the ability to do a vector search which can function like a conceptual matching. The native UI may not be very friendly.

If you have textual descriptions of your images and maps, then Elastic can search those as well.
