You have completely misunderstood the CDC article I think you are referring to. It proved that recovered individuals benefit some also getting a single vaccine dose. It didn’t measure recovered vs vaccinated.
Recovered individuals have vastly superior immunity to variants than vaccinated. mRNA vaccines have been show to drop significantly in preventing infections after 6 months. Natural immunity doesn’t and also you have a profound misunderstanding, natural immune system targets many locations on the virus not just the spike protein. Reinfection rates are estimated to be well under 1%, meaning 99% effectiveness, Pfizer is now estimated to 40% effective against infection.
Do any of the models support incremental training if one happens to have more data than memory, due to both having many timepoints and also many features?
If not, have you seen python libraries for timeseries or regular machine learning that do well with very large training sets?
The idea that two mRNA dose immunity is superior on average to those recovered with natural immunity is absurd. I haven’t reviewed your sources yet, but if you have such a source then you are cherry picking among numerous other results that disagree. Antibody levels can be lower but effective protection against re-infection is very high because memory cells can generate antibodies on demand. Natural antibodies target numerous areas of the virus and are more resilient to variants. Additionally recovered individuals who receive an mRNA dose have the highest levels of measured antibodies.
Why are you trying to arguing something that is clearly false? Do you have a political objective of some sort?
Have you been able to determine how much space one would need to feed one’s self using basement space and assuming abundant solar power? I don’t like outdoor garden setup because people will steal it, animals already do.
I’d not be surprised at an opposite effect because what will Tether holders “run to” in case of a bank run? With every crisis people will gain trust in Bitcoin not the reverse. Tether holders will bid up Bitcoin as it is something they can custody themselves.
You have made me realize I should investigate commercializing the system we have. I added minutely screenshots, of course could be higher frequency if I want to use the resources. The screenshots can be played back at high speed as a movie. The commercialized version could integrate all the other activity statistics, maybe even label other external events like commits, as a browsable surveillance device, like a security dvr, but on the employee. This will be and is 100% legal btw, despite the objections being raised claiming it would be illegal, it absolutely isn’t.
Of course it’s an empty threat. Nothing we are doing is illegal or even immoral. You people are literally entitled children. The responses to my comment have encouraged me to expand the system to include minutely screenshots, so I can replay their work as a video at 20x speed. Now when I combine this with standard productivity measures I have an extremely good idea of how they work or don’t work. Also the response to a 20 min inactivity auto disconnect has been hilarious, some of them seem to have set timers to wiggle the mouse periodically to keep the remote sessions open. It’s sad. Of course the best is the real developers, they focus in bursts, it’s typical 60-90
min bursts of activity, lots of keyboard and mouse events, and it corresponds well to their productivity, they are the people
who really produce quality code, good commits, solves bugs, it’s impressive. Of course they take hours long breaks regularly and that’s great, who cares, they kill it when they work. The secret window I have into their behavior is a goldmine, we know who is valuable much more clearly now. And the excuses for the slackers, I can just pretend I believe them, but now I know. Who is stuck and who is a schmuck. Nothing wrong with being stuck, banging head against wall, I can help them now, let’s me focus on who needs my help.
The only person who should be scared would be the one filing a frivolous report with the FBI. If you aren’t trolling, I’m pretty sure you are already on their spam filter having done it before. They have list of little babies like yourself who never had a mommy and dream they could be one.
Your feedback has encouraged me to expand the system further as it’s clear I’m on to something big. I’m now taking full screenshots every minute. I had been concerned about disk space growth but with the extra determination you’ve given me to uncover the lazy employees, I discovered a useful tool that compresses similar images. This was important as obviously the slackers even when active with the mouse barely do anything anyway, we have a 15 min inactivity auto disconnection, and it’s occurred to them if they never are logged on they obviously aren’t working, so probably while they watch TV or play video games, they seem to periodically move the mouse to avoid the disconnect. I’ve also been able to turn it into a movie so I can watch the employees work and can already directly confirm this is what is happening, zero WFH while being paid for it.
I do feel I should address your confusion on the legality of this system as it might provide you some relief. The system is 100% legal in the US and EU and under GPDR, you have a flawed mental model of what is happening. We don’t provide them a WFH device, they BYOD any personal computer of their own. We don’t even provide a custom client software, we use off the shelf standard clients, it even works inside a browser window if they chose not to use a better performance local client. We never alter their machine and have no access to their machine. All logging and monitoring is done server side and has nothing to do with their privacy. They do not enter private information into our system, they are explicitly prohibited from doing so, they don’t log into an bank or private email or facebook, nothing, they have no private communication or messages on the corporate system. In fact the system’s access to the public internet is severely restricted and even if it wasn’t they have no purpose in doing so, it would even be a violation of their employee agreement because they would be using company resources and time and that’s cause for termination.
WFH is a much cleaner setup, employees used to complain they couldn’t access Facebook or other wasteful social media sites, of course most just used their phone, but with this setup it’s very clear what is work and what isn’t.
Bottom line all of this is 100% legal and there is nothing you can do about it. It’s pretty pathetic that the idea managers might have ways to watch if you work or not makes you so hot under the collar. I’m sure you are probably one of the slackers that thinks they are fooling the boss by trying to logon each morning and wiggle the mouse while you spank yourself or watch netflix all day.
By the way, we also count the lines of code you write, review your tasks completed, and yep that all confirms you are a loser slacker that we have no trouble terminating. We don’t have to tell you any of that either, we can measure anything we like if we want to, keys pressed, mouse moved, code committed, software bugs caused, bugs patched, hours worked, whatever we like, and no we don’t need any consent for any of those metrics and we don’t need to disclose them either. We pay you to work and your work is our work product, all of it.
You guys are really sad cases. One guys replied that he reported me to the FBI, imagine the laughter at the report:
Internet user is reporting an employer who pays his employees to work from home has an automated monitoring/surveillance system to determine if the employees are actually working from home at the level they have been requested. Damn! I’m glad they called the FBI on this one!!!
If you have a minute could you describe better your outrage, for me the levels expressed are fascinating. All I’m describing is a system for WFH that automatically measures if someone is actually working on the system. Other workers clock in/out, Uber drivers paid by time, many jobs measure productivity in many ways automatically and often unknown explicitly by the workers, and certainly not with their consent. What makes people react so intensely? I guarantee you this is being done for real as I describe and there isn’t any law against it as people imagine, those laws are about video, audio, and communication surveillance that could be used by employers to violate employee privacy, but it’s legally delusional to believe that employers would be restricted from measuring if employees paid to WFH are actually working at home, and also delusional to believe the company has to disclose what it uses to measure productivity to their employees. This explosive thread, created by me on a whim with a dystopian imagination has been quite interesting in the strong reaction provoke and I gladly take all the downvotes for it’s entertainment.
Let’s pretend that the employee agreement doesn’t explicitly tell them that they should have no expectation of privacy and all their activities on the company computer system is monitored.
It’s still not even remotely illegal under the laws in Germany according to your reference and my understanding. People are confusing video, audio, and communication surveillance with monitoring or surveillance of use of the computer. Of course governments have laws to protect privacy, they don’t want companies reading your private emails or text messages or taking pictures of you or recording your conversations, all while you were unaware. Notice for all that to be legal you just have to clearly notify them so they can potentially not consent, probably almost always can be fired if they don’t anyway.
The idea that a WFH remote access system that monitors if the employee is actually using the system and that monitoring is used by managers to review if the employee actually did WFH or not is somehow privacy invading is ridiculous.
The most interesting part of this whole discussion is the intense reaction of people. We kinda know there are a whole bunch of HN reeders who are suddenly freaking out when they consider their manager/boss might be able to see what I’m describing, and tbh there really might be some who can, it’s very likely.
successful then, I’ve even been reported to the FBI! The outrage being generated is actually fascinating. Why do developers see their work as so special compared to other labor? For example many workers clock in/out. Fast food workers are tracked precisely. Uber drivers are paid precisely. I think it’s very interesting that the idea someone could watch exactly how much time they spend working at their computer, which they are paid to work on, would get them so incredibly outraged. Special butterflies it seems to me.
I think you might be confusing audio and video surveillance with computer system logging. We can log anything we want it’s in their employee contract that they have no expectation of privacy on company computer systems and it should not be used for any personal business, which again WFH is great because clearly they have their own personal computer they use to access remote access and all our logging is on the server side. If I have timestamps of every key stroke and every mouse move and screenshots of their desktop every 1 minute there is nothing illegal about that. Even if it was remotely grey area it would be covered by their employee agreements, confidential agreements and proprietary information agreements. Your fake outrage is a joke.
Please do explain. What is illegal? Recording minute granular measure of keyboard and mouse activity by employees on our internal company computer system. You’re in a fantasy world, the FBI is literally laughing at you right now.
You must be fairly young and idealistic. It’s really hard to know people well enough to be able to trust them. Especially in this new WFH environment are you going to know your employees after a few skype calls? I’ve been in tech for over 25 years now and a manager for last 15, the level of deceit one comes across is mind blowing. In one case we had an employee we all liked and thought well of, did decent work, extremely friendly,
and we caught him trying to copy all the company’s code to a USB drive attached to his workstation under his desk. People are crazy you never know what they will do.
Of course I do that to and did that before the pandemic. I review all code commits and review reports and results from the system. I also track completed tasks and assign them complexity level. Am I stupid or something? How would I know who is completing tasks or not. This was how we operated before WFH, the change is implementing direct surveillance telemetry on employee activity on the system. Another improvement is that collaboration is all now over internal chat, which I can review these discussions and get a sense of level of collaboration. When I overlay all the information it gives me an extremely good idea of what is actually happening.
Recovered individuals have vastly superior immunity to variants than vaccinated. mRNA vaccines have been show to drop significantly in preventing infections after 6 months.
