Yes, you could. But normally when people analyze the runtime of matrix multiplication, they assume that the elements have constant size (hence constant runtime arithmetic) and the matrix size scales. But you could also write a runtime that scales with respect to the size of the elements as well; assuming that we are using integer elements that have size at most M your runtime would be something like O(n^3log^2(M)M) in the naive case.

In Fibonacci it is not valid to assume that your arithmetic is constant time because you are doing arithmetic on integers that grow exponentially. In general, it is not valid to assume that you can do constant-time arithmetic on all numbers because then you could solve many many problems much faster than possible on a word-RAM machine by encoding your problem as a real number, and multiplying/adding.
This is not anti-chinese sentiment. This is an objective take on geo-political matters regarding an outwardly belligerent anti-western world power functioning under authoritarian rule (which is freely admitted by them, btw). T

This same power is also allied with another major anti-western power, the russian federation, forming an alliance meant to disrupt and expand. An empirial mindset that is threatening global stability.
Oh sure, and countries in Asia as well, we don't hesitate to join in on these things.

I'm just saying, if you trace these ideas back to their original motivation, it's the lack of decent public transport in California specifically and the US generally.
> This is a battlefield.

No, it's literally not.

> It's an emergency, remember?

Yes and all battlefields are emergencies but not all emergencies have the same conditions (and thus make the same measures expedient) as battlefields.

> Do whatever it takes.

Sure, but what you are suggesting is not what it takes, or something that would be reasonably expected to be useful and effective.

> 2 years and these "experts" still want us to continue locking down

We never generally locked down in the US and no one is suggesting lockdowns now, so I have no idea what “continue locking down” is supposed to mean. (Some US jurisdictions had brief and mostly unenforced policies that, if enforced, would have been local lockdowns, but even the on paper policies expired without renewal quite some time ago.)
Shanghai is a city with a unique role in the progression of the CCP and its global efforts. Also PLA Unit 61398 is in Pudong, the shanghai district mentioned in the article. Overall there's a lot of CCP/PLA-adjacent tech talent in the area, and of course the local police still ultimately report to the CCP.
No.

That triggers an anecdote: I made my first printed circuit board by coating a bare copper-clad board with beeswax and scratching out the pattern with an awl. That worked well enough for one or two boards, including a little EQ that I made to correct the sound of my seriously deficient stereo speakers, and a guitar fuzz box for a friend.
> The sentiment on HN on this topic has traditionally been negative, and comments that support the move get downvoted.

Just because this is a popular move within Germany doesn't mean we need to support it. Research has shown nuclear to be clean and safe when managed properly, _those_ are the facts. I'm glad the government is listening to its citizens, but I also support using nuclear power and personally think this is bad move with the information I have at hand.
Indeed. That’s true. But thankfully that’s not in the table, or anything close to it. I only bring that up because it’s the natural conclusion of what will happen if you misunderstand how the exponential growth works.
It turns out you can spice things up on social media with relatively modest ad spends, the mob are so desperate to be incited that you dont even need to light the match.

Let's say it's 100% of the government's fault, which I don't believe, but let's just say it for argument's sake.

So why don't you run for office and do it differently?
The USA has the right of publicity, this is similar where a person has commercial rights over their name/image/likeness (For example; a fashion brand can't make unauthorised advertisements or even social media posts about celebrities wearing their clothing). Editorial use exceptions tend to give the public the false idea that images of people are freely useable for any purpose - since they're easy to find and rarely contain licensing information.

So while the photographer owns the copyright of a photo, they may not commercialise the photo without a release from the subject. The subject also can't be tricked out of their rights, so open ended waivers that contain text such as "every conceivable use of the image" are weaker than waivers that clearly outline the intended use. Those open ended waivers also can also be weak if the photographer had been using the images in one specific way for a long duration.

There are some grey areas here, especially for NFTs - would selling the NFT be considered a mere transfer of copyright or would it be the commercialisation of the image? There would certainly be room for interpretation based on the content of the photograph and for the value it was sold. Additionally the new owner would still be bound to the subject's rights, so if those weren't properly conveyed with the sale that can also raise additional problems.
Nice! Will look for your future tutorials. I was able to create a little js->wasm obfuscation tool with emscripten, but for some reason when I tried to initialize a C array larger than 512 bytes I always get errors. My work around was defining the array of given size and storing the obfuscated binary byte per byte. Wasm files seem to be 4x larger this way. Maybe this time I'll make it directly in webassembly.
If you shy away from defending payday loans, you may be aware of how easily those loans can "get away" from their financially-unstable borrowers and turn into longer-term cash sinks. In light of that, how is it not fair to consider the interest rate over a longer period?

It just weird seeing how China's propaganda is so good that western nation went from positive and neutral toward China too wanting to sit on a throne of Chinese skulls.
Unions shaping policy is a very controversial subject, and I believe that there is no widespread consensus on whether it should or should not be permitted. It is one of the arguments made against public-sector unions, in that they have an improper influence on government policy, and thus undermine the democratic process.

I thought unions existed to collectively bargain for compensation and working conditions. When working conditions are related to policy, they can negotiate with the employer for 'concessions' (or agreements as the case may be). One (potential) problem occurs when the politicians and the unions agree on something, and enter into contracts with the purpose of 'locking-in' policy decisions beyond the politicians' terms.

I think what amazes me is how little it seems some people value their own time and life. Like, life is super short. I sacrificed a non-trival amount of it so these "experts" could build up healthcare capacity.

They have a moral obligation to not waste my life... which they completely did. Why there aren't riots on the street over the fact that the public is still being blamed for not "taking this seriously" is beyond me. Get fucked, dudes--y'all had 2 years to figure this out.
2. Yes but ~1990 is not a good baseline as back then lots of highly inefficient industry and power plants of former GDR were still running and on the brink of being demolished due to economic collapse. It makes Germanys efforts look much better than they were.

Yes, it's a standard measure so you can easily compare interest rates.

Why shouldn't consumers be able to easily compare rates other than making it easier to mislead them? Arguably not proving an APR is an "intentionally skewed comparison."
Yes, it is a threat, since it suggests that legal action will follow without compliance. It's not an explicit threat, but it communicates a threatening meaning. It is a coercive statement.

Now threats aren't necessarily a bad thing when justified. A threat is just, "if you do/don't do this I will/won't do that." But this particular threat was bad in several ways. First, it was directed at targets not actually bound by the relevant law. Second, even if it was directed correctly, many would probably view it as a frivolous use of that law.
Were prescriptions leaked here? Otherwise where did that come from?

The thing is: your money is your money. But our neighbors taxes is our money, and the fact that they were paid correctly is our information. If one starts at that, then yes we count eachothers' money. But it's not as simple as "everyone should know everyones' private information". It's rather that the public part of the information (who pays their taxes properly etc) is public and that, as a negative side effect perhaps, gives the income data away.

Who knows, perhaps maintaining public tax ledgers while hiding the actual amounts is something that can be solved technologically by for example a blockchain.

Assuming that everyone is acting in their own best interest, then a 36%+ interest rate would only be used by someone who is in a situation where it is better than their alternatives. If the option was not available, then they wouldn't have the alternative that is best for them.

If someone is NOT acting in their own best interest, then there are an infinite number of things that need to be removed from their options.
Say I live paycheck to paycheck and I need $500 to fix my car that I use to get to work until I get paid in a few weeks.

Borrowing $500 for one month and paying $15 in interest would be completely worth it and beneficial to the borrower. That's what 36% annualized interest would look like for a single month.

Do people get in trouble with debt? Yes. And that's why we have bankruptcy. But not everyone gets in trouble with debt. I don't think it's fair to make it unavailable to everyone to protect those that fall into arrears -- because, again, that's what bankruptcy is for.
There is a gradient from cultural assimilation -> cultural genocide -> genocide. People quickly jump from former to the later.

Are there re-education camps? Yes. Is it cultural assimilation or cultural genocide? I don't know.

Are there genocide as we understood as Armenian genocide or the Holocaust? I don't think there are many data to support that claim. If we say these two are the same, from what I can gather, it also trivializes Holocaust.

My refusal to allow EME content is entirely my own decision, and irrelevant to the point I'm trying to make.

My point was that DRM (EME) support is becoming an expectation, and you are outright locked out from certain EME schemes like Widevine unless you're a "blessed" browser (which you can't be, yet - by definition, you're too small to enter any meaningful communication with a large player, as the browser I mentioned found out).

> Why did Google's refusal squash a brand new browser? Why was it even a factor? Did it have to be?

Said browser (Metastream [0]) was meant to build a different experience for watching video streams together, potentially including DRM-ed sources. Widevine allegedly has a 70% market share, so the refusal really was a big deal and a deal-breaker for the intended vision of the browser.

> Is there an alternative approach one could take to not need google's involvement to include a Widevine module in their said brand-new browser?

What do you propose, beyond technical workarounds that can cease working at any time? I imagine that there may be a risk of invoking the DMCA or lawsuits, whether wrongful or not (might makes right after all, and Google has the deeper pockets here)

The right way to do this is to engage into a DRM licensing process, which is a fundamentally business-based one. And when you're small and dealing with a stubborn large business, there's no right to appeal their decision.

Good idea. Tho in the code itself (from a cursory glance) in L141 Sequencing(...) I see a bunch of nested maps - I don't know Scala but I think this may be a performance issue?

The point is that if you disagree, counter the argument. Asserting similarities does not counter the argument. If I say: "Bob is bad because he steals apples." Saying "But you also steal apples!" does not counter the argument at all. It's changing the subject.
While it does seem like a scam, I think the "following through" aspect was doomed from a business perspective. Credit, and therefore rates, is based on a consumer's history, not their knowledge. While poor financial decisions can certainly be chalked up to not knowing any better, knowledge of what you should do goes out the door when there's bills to pay and not enough money to cover them all.

Remember, LendUp is likely just a middle man and marketer; it's facilitating the loan, not doing the actual underwriting (and therefore rate setting). Following through would mean exposing the business to risk that customers, in spite of climbing their made up ladder, still made payments. Considering the other shady stuff that this thread is talking about, it doesn't surprise me that they didn't choose to take on that risk.

Of course the irony in all of this is that the very thing that would've prevented customers from making the right choice even though they were gaining financial knowledge is the loans that LendUp was handing out. I wonder if the pitfalls of payday loans was part of that knowledge track. I doubt it.
With each new opportunity to learn to code without the expense of a four-year degree in Computer Science, don't we reach a point at which either:
1) The four-year degree in CS is actually seen as something of a negative indicator
2) We acknowledge the silent part out loud, e.g. "the college degree is a signal, not a delivery mechanism for professional skills."

Yes, the type of loans that usually have these high APRs are along the lines of "we'll lend you $500 today, but we expect $550 or $600 on your next payday" (yielding an APR often well into the hundreds). The rates are high both because a) there's a high level of defaults and b) they aren't really secured by anything except for a pre-scheduled ACH from the bank, so collection is hard (and it doesn't go on regular credit reports).

Some people make good use of these, as timely sources of money when there's not a lot of other options (not everyone has credit or saving or friends and family that can help). At the same time, it is extremely predatory, and the lenders are constantly trying to maximize the money they can get from people (such as rolling a new loan into the payment of the original, meaning only the interest is functionally required on the due date, and they get to skirt the laws of the loan required to be short term).

It's one of those catch-22 situations where doing away with the market entirely hurts those you're trying to protect, but it's hard to regulate effectively because the benefit is it's quick and short, meaning too many hurdles might be the same effectively as doing away with them completely.

Not sure where new MIPS CPUs are used nowadays, but i do have a handheld[0] that uses a MIPS-based CPU (Ingenic JZ4770) at 1GHz with 512MB of RAM and a 3D accelerator using an open source Linux-based OS. This is from 2013-2014 but there have been some more recent clones, like the RG350 series by Anbernic[2] (which runs the same OS and software).

Though it is basically just a Linux system, nothing special about it aside from the instruction set. When i ported a DOS game i made some time ago to it[3] all i did was install Debian and Free Pascal on a MIPS QEMU system, make sure it compiles with SDL and package the binary in the package format its launcher uses (OPK, which IIRC is essentially a squashfs image).
