One approach is to get close to the desired sum by buying a few of the more expensive toys, and then trying combinations of the cheaper ones.

Just by trial and error, I tried 5*7.11 (xylophone) to get 35.55, followed by 4.77 (chequers), 2.75 (doll) and 0.87 (pinwheel). First and second were just guesses, so the only "calculated" choices were the doll and pinwheel.

There are probably many other easy solutions that one might arrive at by guessing different values to start with.
By that logic no instance of an NP complete problem is NP complete because you can solve any NP complete problem in finite time, seeing as it's not undecidable.

It just might take longer than the universe will exist for you to get a solution.

You’re not wrong, but this is closer than a lot of the research posted here: it’s in Phase 1 trials, so it is at least starting to move into human subjects.

Good luck finding someone who can serve you at 1Gbps. Like seriously, I'd be curious who you've found because I never actually hit that except in speed tests :(
There's actually 21 items in the set, so 2097151 non-empty zero-or-one combinations.

By the way, Leo says that some kids actually solved the problem exactly, so there may be a trick that wasn’t obvious to Leo or me, or maybe they just got lucky.

Possibly they did something similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem#Pseudo-poly... ?
HN does that a lot too... using shadow bans and other techniques...
The data points that A and B exist and are worthy of further consideration. The data is likely too noisy to draw further conclusions. Perhaps in your neck of woods things are different, but on USA West Coast there is near zero public discussion of either cost tradeoffs or age groups.
China isn't capable of taking Taiwan within that timeframe, but I'm afraid it could happen a lot sooner than the "experts" in the US expect.

The US still has the most fearsome military the world has ever seen, but Afghanistan has demonstrated that the people at the top are not anywhere near as smart and capable as they think they are. That's a dangerous combination.
There’s a trick... the answer is (yoyo + ball + elephant + jump rope)3 = 83 = 24 +

(Checkers + boat + racecar) = 19.94 = 43.94.

There are probably other solutions. The trick is to get rid of the change, than fine something that adds up to 8
"Stable leadership" has never been a precondition for sovereignty. That sounds like an easy excuse to invade whenever you think another countries leadership isn't doing the things you want it to. Hong Kong was leased from China to Britain on a 99 year lease, it was always part of China, so it was never a sovereign nation. That is the "international law" angle on Hong Kong, the lease expired and China got their Hong Kong back. Btw, I'm not sure the initial leasing of Hong Kong was overly legal in the first place, seems to have been a lot of duress in play.

I have a Baratza Sette 270 which I'm also quite happy with. I like this because the beans drop straight through, not shunted out a chute to the side. Amount of remains left in the grinder are quite minimal.
The big deals are:

1. It tries to gather more data points about the customer environment (i. e. browser and screen details). I think the goal is to provide more signals that the bank can use to decide low/high risk transactions. This likely feeds into...

2. Some transactions can be passed through in a "frictionless" manner. Instead of getting the "please log into your bank this is not phishing trust us" interstitial, it requires no interaction.

If most of the time, customers are sitting int eh 'frictionless" universe, then they won't hit too many situations that encourage cart abandonment.
> Yeah, but you're posting on a forum that rewards effort and thoughtful explanations.

Right now. I also mentioned posting among those who are against vaccines which is... not.

I don't think it's possible to convince everyone, ever. Some people have distorted learning and/or experience that may or may not even be possible to untangle.

But as you pointed out, some can be convinced. Also, only a small minority of people ever post, leaving stuff out there with no explanation of why it's wrong is perhaps even more dangerous.
No, the original source is stated at the bottom of the text. The website seems to be a news areggator with a focus on US conservative talking points.
I believe you, but what about snapshots? I'm thinking something like the internet archive. Documentation websites can go about their business however they like, but there's always a "show me (most of) MSDN as of October 2016" option. Internal bureaucracy would have to be in place to make sure that the feature doesn't get completely broken on a whim by a disinterested branch of the company, but I think it's feasible.

It's justifying this expense that would be difficult.
> The coronavirus outbreak has pushed millions of Americans, especially young adults, to move in with family members.

This statement isn't accurate. What triggered this movement was the economic fallout from the government's reaction to the Covid 19 pandemic; not the pandemic itself.

Furthermore, it would be hekpful to understand how many of these households were eventually victims (?) of Covid 19. That is, risk adverse individual moves home. Carries on with usual lifestyle. Eventually gets sick, infects others at home, and so on.
It's less that the US has become less wealthy, and more that we have manufactured a housing crisis by refusing to allow people to construct housing to keep up with demand.

The pretext for invading was that the Taliban were in power and were hiding Osama Bin Laden. Let's get our stories straight. They can't be hiding Osama Bin Laden if they aren't in control of the country.
I love Stockholm (and Sweden in general). Had I visited earlier in life I likely would have wound up there. Second choice would be Amsterdam.
I don't understand. Either you record the result of the coin flip, in which case you can easily determine each participant's actual answer -- or you don't, in which case the data collected is useless.

An easy way to see this is if you suppose there's a question for which the truthful answer is "Yes" for 100% of participants. After the coin flip, you will get 50% "Yes" and 50% "No", which is the exact same result you would get if the truthful answer were "No" for 100% of participants.

Our legal system (fortunately) hasn’t accepted the theory that the penalty for being popular is that you get to be nationalized.

I suspect the big limits on payments migration is that many people live on credit.

Someone else mentioned the future promise of FedNow. I'd expect that would be "any legal use is permissible" for legal reasons, but it can only replace debit payments at best.
If you had a lender who worked atop FedNow, you'd reintroduce the problem of having a private party who is not legally obliged to serve all possible customers.

I'm hoping there will be a big housing boom this decade. I think with remote work, and a continued backlash against NIMBYism, it's not unlikely.

That'll keep the economy driving forward, plus create a lot of nice blue collar jobs for people. Plus, it could drive a baby boom.
I think it's hard for most American homeowners to make a connection between their rising home equity, and their children being dependent on them for basic needs past an "acceptable" age.

There are libraries based on this very concept. Instead of programming the solution, you program the "rules". And the library essentially a brute force (with branch trimming) until it finds a solution for you.
Right up until you need to perform some intermediate templating or passing variables from one task to another, yeah, independent bash scripts will do just fine.
This is really early stage research being filtered through a PR team, so don't read too much into the results here yet in terms of whether all solid tumors actually have this in common and if it's actually an Achilles heel - cancer is very good at mutating and developing resistance. Here's some speculation on whats going on here. First, a useful tautology in natural selection - for a cell to be able to survive in an environment, it has to be able to survive in said environment. So the reason all solid tumors would have this is in common is because they share acidic environments (a side effect of low oxygen environments created by the tumors themselves), so they all would have adaptations to survive in these environments. Tumors are naturally hypermutative, so they have some evolutionary advantages when it comes to developing resistance. Statistically, this particular gene being unregulated might be the easiest way to develop acid resistance, so we see that most often. I would be unsurprised if after inhibiting this enzyme, we saw new approaches pop up - cancer mutates fast. Healthy cells would likely have a much harder time surviving in these environments (though most solid tumors have tons of healthy cells - they might be getting protection from the tumor cells or using some other mechanism). For those healthy cells, if their DNA is more stable or they don't replicate as quickly as cancer cells, they're going to have a hard time adapting, unless this is a general stress response mechanism that's really easy to upregulate. If it is a general response, I'd be curious about the general use cases for the enzyme and what the side effects would be of inhibiting it.

Sorry it's not a straightforward response, but even with very well understood cancer genes, the narrative is never as simple as what these PR articles state, and especially for a recent discovery, its quite a claim to say that you've found a general Achilles Heel for solid tumors, an incredibly diverse class of tumors that are by their nature highly evolutionary unstable and quickly adapting, and also similar enough to normal cells that its hard to discriminate between the two with drugs.

Everyone says this but it’s not actually true in practice. Most of the other manufacturers systems are meant more as an emergency type feature rather than convenience.

For example the Subaru system when it comes to a stop in traffic requires you to hit the accelerator to tell the car to start going again. Other systems have similar issues with usability that actually make it such that most people with the cars don’t use these features at all.
Just tested this with company in a clojure buffer and did not observe this. I would suggest that something else responsible for the effect. Do you have any idea what causes this?
So that excludes student debt levels (ie the inflation of the price of entry into the workforce) over that period. It includes people aged 40-100 who probably also outnumber and out earn the 16-40 demographic - who I assume dominate the only fans vendors being discussed.

The median as a measure will basically exclude the entire demographic. Eg Say for argument everyone in the workforce for 10 years or less had a 50% pay cut it won't show up in the median.

Real data is hard!
What young adults are waiting for is a housing bust, a generational dip, a once in a lifetime buying opportunity to get on the housing ladder at a fair price.
Yes, the 200 amps are consumed by the billions of transistors.

As you might have noticed, these power-hungry chips have a large number of pins, and quite a lot of them are dedicated to power, exactly to avoid having a single pin having to carry 200 amps.

Here's[1] the pinout of the AM4 socket, where the pink and green squares represents power and ground respectively. As you can see they make up almost half of the pins.

The motherboard is primarily supplied by 12V these days, which is then converted down to the 1-2V needed using multi-phase buck converters[2]. If you've ever seen motherboards boasting some number of VRM phases, this is what they're talking about. Gamers Nexus has an overview[3] of this as well.

The problem they're talking about is similar to the AM4 socket. You have a bunch of signal pins, and they're connected to output transistors inside the package. You'd like to avoid long connections, so ideally the pin is close to the relevant output transistors on the chip.

However you also got all this power that needs to be supplied, and you gotta spread that out over multiple pins. So it's a challenge to best arrange the power vs signal pins, minimizing the detours either have to take. Long connections means higher inductance and resistance, which is a problem for both signal and power.

Imagine instead the CPU was mounted like a sandwich, with pins on both sides. Then it would be easy, as you could just place all the power pins on one side and signal pins on the other side.

This is the solution they propose, except on the chip level.

At minimum it needs to be a lot faster than it is currently, and all of these comments about how you can configure it to be fast are just excuses. I’ve been using Emacs for years and my config’s performance is still something I have to hack on regularly.

Beyond that I think there’s a lot of low hanging fruit but it gets more controversial and you get a lot of really reactionary people asking why we want to attract new users, why anything needs to change at all, etc. So I’m somewhat loathe to make suggestions there, but at minimum I would try to integrate lsp-mode or Eglot as well as company (and maybe flycheck) out of the box.

I don’t think Emacs needs to be all things to all people. For one thing it has features that seem to exist mainly as misguided attempts to make it easier to use that serious users almost entirely ignore (I’m thinking mainly of Customize here). I would pare down the functionality to what the most serious Emacs users use in able to better focus on the rest, at which point it’s probably a fork, but you asked for my opinion.
Autopilot is generally only operated in fair-weather and good visibility. Sensible drivers, under other conditions, would not handover responsibility to the machine. In other words, the driver chooses to give the cars the 'cakewalk'.

In addition, the Autopilot has a redundant backup -- namely the human operator. There could be thousands of unreported crashes/deaths but for the intervention of the human operator. Accordingly, dividing 9 by 'billions and billions' is not directly attributable to the skills of the Autopilot.
I'm personally of the opinion that the amount of harm this will do will never outweigh the good one could do. In the same vein, I could also start a toxic chemical disposal company and just dump the stuff in the ocean, and then use the profits to support cleaning up the ocean. Burning cycles to maintain the blockchain for... pixel art is not something that I consider ethical behavior.

But you do you, perhaps you can design a Blockchain solution for water rights, it will greatly reduce friction for nestle to buy up more water rights for the billions of plastic water bottles they need to fill up for rich suburbanites, they like the flavor better.

Probably, but I would need some influence over the buisness model. The point of most of these sites is the conversation not the articles, and that has value. Reddit is a slimeheap, but I'd be more than happy to contribute to sites like HN if I bought in with some kind of NFT and could vote on how the buisness/ site was managed.

Yeah I'd pay, but I'd want something for it.
I don't understand how that would be seen as impressive, though. If anything, I would be embarrassed for and suspicious of a person who spent millions of dollars on something so incredibly stupid for the sole purpose of trying to impress people.

Plenty of people in my circle have expensive things, but we don't buy them to impress each other by showing how much we spent on them. We buy them because they're fun to drive/fly/etc, or because we get actual utility out of them.

What kind of person would be impressed by someone paying a ridiculous sum of money for the ability to claim they own a pixelated rock image, just for the sake of spending a ridiculous sum of money on it? More importantly, what kind of person would want to be around a person like that at all, let alone spend time and ridiculous sums of money trying to impress them?

The way I see it, the "best case scenario" for what is going on with the NFT market is that a lot of incredibly shallow and sad people are making incredibly awkward and embarrassing decisions with money out of desperation to impress other shallow and sad people. The most likely scenario, however, is that it's mostly just money laundering going on (which is somehow less depressing than the former scenario).
Especially given that this study says it's from January to April; at that point hardly any Canadians were vaccinated. Here in Ontario by the end of April only about 3% of the population had had a second dose, and about 30% had had a first dose. At the beginning of April it was only 13%.
To be fair, the USA being in decline isn't necessarily causation for young people not being able to afford to live on the their own.

The key issue is the cost of housing; which the USA is reluctant and resolve. Student loan debt also factors in to this situation.

Are those driving the USA's decline? Or simply symptoms of a systems dedicated more to Wall Street and less to Main Street?

It's not patronizing to suggest that 'the adult, experienced businessperson millionaire' in the partnership is the one figuring out how to best bilk investors of their money.
> This is not at all what the paper is suggesting, and people should not be interpreting it as such.

I don't think the OP meant that the paper is suggesting that, the article linked makes it clear that Senators (such as Rand Paul) are using this pre-print paper to suggest exactly that. Rand Paul has a lot of clout and influence over the various narratives in this country, especially against protective mandates. In his world, public policy would be non-existent, and the will of the people would be enacted through market forces (choosing to go to certain businesses based on their personal decisions to impose mandates as a business on their customers or employees). Then the market decides if we actually as a country naturally fight against the virus at all or instead help it spread, and further divide the country based on people's uninformed individual purchasing choices.

The science really doesn't enter the picture for Rand Paul, despite him being a medical doctor, because to him government intervention in anything is always inherently bad.
It doesn't stop with the fact they worship "God, the father", either. It's also evident in the fact that they (hard-line conservative christians of all stripes; evangelical, catholic and others) are working to take away women's autonomy -in the form of sex work, in the form of reproductive choice and I doubt very much if they view female education and employment very favorably as well.

It already did run it full bore for the past year and a half - US public is just not paying attention. At some point running it full bore will turn the US into Zimbabwe, currency-value wise. That will not reflect positively on the economy as a whole.
