It's not a bug, it's an hymenoptera!

As a comic in all seriousness, though, I would imagine any search strategy that avoids a local maximum could be useful, such as other siblings have pointed out.

But I wonder if the ants even have a way of detecting they are trapped in a local maximum. If the signal detection is simply based on the strength of the signal, I don't know how they could detect the trap. If the pheromones of each ant were somewhat different, and if ants have memory -- maybe that's what would be required.

Otherwise if all ants just take random walks deviating from the signal, would you expect them to become isolated, or simply form a more elaborate ant mill whose position changes until the path to the nest is found or they become exhausted?
Contempt of court I believe. It's basically like defying any other court order. From what I hear, you go to jail for a bit and just keep repeating that cycle every few months until you start working and paying.

> Is it a culture that accepts questioning of leadership?

Absolutely.

I would say successful employees find an intersection between their interests+skills and what is needed. That might seem generic but it’s important to realize and spend time focusing on.
Absolutely, being better on one or more axes is only table stakes. An essential prerequisite to the miracle, besides, is wide adoption, because without, why would anybody put in the time to get proficient? You have only a short time to get there. With too-slow adoption, you miss the window.

But we are already off in the weeds. Why argue that slow adoption might suffice, instead of doing everything needed to drive up adoption? Would it be so bad to do a thing that might turn out not to have been obviously necessary? Hype only goes so far, and has gone there already.

To me the clearest indication that any language will fizzle is when its boosters insist it doesn't need to do anything not to.
Few library and service creators seem to think you can treat what they built as a black box. At the very least, they generally come with some advice on usage patterns to avoid.

Writing performant code unfortunately tends to require at least having a basic working model of how all your dependencies work. Otherwise, you tend to find yourself debugging why you ran out of file handles in production.

Also it's relatively uncommon to be able to attribute a bad result unambiguously to a single thing. For instance most human-error disasters are the result of a cascade of mistakes, and the omission of any one could have prevented the disaster.
There are some bits phrased the wrong way around (e.g. are session parameters passed in URLs? Check!). You don't want to do that.

It may be that psychic powers exist but that they are not powerful, general, or controllable enough to be reliably profitable.

Also, if every profitable phenomenon in the world is already developed, then no business should ever invest in fundamental research - i.e., the pharmaceutical companies are wasting their research dollars.

Why is it comforting to you to believe psychic powers don't exist?

The data tables they provide information on exactly what the conditions were. The top several (which make up the wide majority overall) are:

- Diabetes
- Chronic lower respiratory diseases
- Hypertensive diseases
- Diseases of the urinary system
- Ischaemic heart diseases
- Symptoms signs and ill-defined conditions
- Dementia and Alzheimer's disease
- Heart failure and complications and ill-defined heart disease

The "symptoms signs and ill-defined conditions" is described here [1]. Basically signs and symptoms of other issues but for which there was no diagnosis made or available. That was marked as one of the preexisting condition(s) for 17.4% of the 65+ years old cohort, and 1% of the 0-64 years old cohort.

> Trails of brown envelopes (bribes) have been sniffed out repeatedly, and then left to grow cold. Large scale developments were made and begun without any plan whatsoever to connect them to basic and necessary infrastructure such as sewage, or schools.

Can't argue with this, in fairness.

> The media have pointed fingers at immigrants, dole scroungers, and market forces - anything but policy. They give airtime to politicians who have been repeatedly proven to be actively working against us and caught in lies over and over. They smear anyone speaking truth.

This is just not true. It's almost libellous it's so wide of the mark. I don't know where you're getting this from. Nobody of any substance has ever blamed the crash or the housing crisis on immigrants, people on the dole, direct provision or anything like that. Immigration in particular has been an absolute non-issue the entire time.

> Irish housing policy for the last decade has been to sell property to vulture funds and foreign investors at firesale prices tax free, while the average Irish worker has none of the same advantages and no chance of getting on the ladder whatsoever.

This is not true either. Vulture funds buy non-performing loans (not property, loans), of which there are many, and for which reason we have higher than average mortgage rates. It's distasteful, but without them our current account fees and loan rates would be higher than they already are.

REITs are not vulture funds. They generally build to rent: they finance the construction, and then collect the rent. Without them there would be thousands fewer apartments in Dublin in particular. Cork city went a full decade without a single apartment complex being built. They serve a purpose. They don't pay corporation tax, but they do pay tax. See here: https://www.revenue.ie/en/tax-professionals/tdm/income-tax-c...

The funds swooping in post-construction and buying entire blocks of houses or apartments that would otherwise have gone on the open market, they're a different story. They can die screaming.

> Our government funds landlords with schemes such as HAP (1.5 billion euro directly to landlords since 2017) instead of building fucking houses. They then use those schemes to twist the numbers, pissing in our face and telling us its raining despite clear record homelessness and child poverty. We give foreign companies billions to build houses which we then rent off of them for decades and don't own at the end. It's sheer, clear insanity. And this Oxford chap seems completely unaware, yet wholly confident in his "understanding" of the issues we have.

HAP is a bad scheme. Totally agree. The "Oxford Chap" is a Trinity academic who writes the daft.ie reports on housing in Ireland. He knows what's going on as well as you do.

> This crisis was NOT built on misunderstandings, or myth, or innocent mistakes and apathy. It was CONSTRUCTED. And at every point, the wrong people have profited at the expense of the 40% of Irish who don't own a house.

Nobody manufactured the crisis on purpose. That's tinfoil hattery.

Most devices now are in the 200--300 dpi range, monochrome.

That's already as good as a mid-grade laserprinter output, and for text is pretty much entirely sufficient, especially in monochrome.

Other issues still remain: some ghosting (at higher refresh / lower quality), limited greyscale (4--16 shades in most cases), and generally far lower refresh rates than emissive displays (1--8 Hz seems fairly typical). Yes, you can watch monochrome video, if you want. It's in the "sufficient for a general overview", but not high quality.

The place this shows up most especially isn't in video, per se, but on web pages with animations, whether of icons, graphics/charts, or embedded videos. The result is exceedingly distracting at high display quality settings, with a slow, flashing refresh behaviour.

> Rust is technically better than C++ in most possible ways — in some, significantly better — and worse in almost no way.

It's much worse in one way: Interoperation with existing C++ code. Sure, that's not a fair criteria - C++ is designed in a way that makes it almost impossible for other languages to use C++ libraries without a heavyweight wrapper like SWIG. However, even though it's not fair, it's still really important. If you have a project like LLVM with millions of lines of existing C++ code, adding expensive or complicated interop boundaries between different components within your system is not an acceptable price to pay.
That Cron job story made me laugh :)

Thing with Linux as much as I used it over the years, it's still no where near as compatible with weird hardware as windows. Windows just seems to be able to handle whatever hardware I've ever thrown at it.

That would depend upon the shell that you used. GNU Bash in particular is not known for speed, although this is just a question of pipes.

I remember that cdrecord has explict advice on raising pipe buffer size to avoid an underun (that will render a CD unusable). Perhaps pipe tuning here might also impact performance.

I don't know if dash will increase performance in this particular case.

$ rpm -qi dash | tail -3
DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be as small as
possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where possible. In fact, it is
significantly faster than bash (the GNU Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks.

Idea: spend one neuron to track how often the ant thinks it's turning right (left). The input could be differential motion between sets of legs, or an internal accelerometer (if it exists). It takes very little storage to track an exponential moving average (just one persistent variable),

Probably both. I've never been impressed with any A series CPU. They've always seemed far slower than they should be for their specifications. Back in the early 2010s everybody was excited the AMD was going to be coming out with multicore bulldozers and pile drivers. But they bombed out pretty hard. And he made some choices that made sense at the time but didn't pan out. They fixed it with the Ryzen.

Yup, that was my point.
This depends entirely on the efficiency of the house to retain heat. In the extreme, if the house is 100% efficient then it needs to be heated just once in all eternity. Not to mention that in many locations it's quite possible to engineer a house (mostly lots of insulation) that can warm or cool itself to a large extent just by taking advantage of the local climate.
This is incorrect. You cannot assure that there are no bi-infinite chains disconnected from the starting chain, but you can assure that there no cycles disconnected from the chain. To see this, note that Peano proves that, given x and y, if there exist z and w such that x+z=y and y+w=x, then x=y.

Really, introducing natural numbers -- with addition and multiplication -- is overcomplicating this. There's absolutely no multiplication involved here; you could think of this as a purely additive thing, I suppose, but really directed graphs with outdegree 1 (i.e., functions on a set) are a better fit (if you want a simple model like that).

Present devices refresh a 2--8 Hz easily.

Even high-quality refresh is fast, though there is a prominent transition.

With e-ink, there's a distinct difference between paginated navigation and scroll-based, with pagination being strongly preferred.

For web browsing, I recommend EInkBro, which provides paginated navigation as a default. For any longer-form Web reading, that's my preference. It's superior even to Pocket's exceedingly poorly-considered pagination mode.

The other alternative is to print-to-PDF and display that within an e-book reader. Unfortunately, many websites format poorly in that mode, with text being cut at pagination breaks, or omitted entirely.

Eating in general does a lot of mechanical and chemical damage to the body that has to be repaired. Most foods seem to contain some portion of proteins that can be harmful (red meat is a WHO Group I carcinogen to gut tissue). Even fructose is damaging to the liver and triggers an immune reaction. Cooking pre-digests many problematics but some portion will remain. It's the role of the immune system to deactivate the damaging proteins so that the damage doesn't accumulate. Eating and digestion are a constant balance between sustenance and wear, and problems begin when the rate of wear outpaces the rate of repair.
Hey, if your phone let you suit the keyboard to the context, I think physical keyboards need to catch up too :)
Solving this supply chain inflation by raising interest rate quite literally translates to - we will make people earn less so that they reduce demand for goods and services, thus controlling the inflation.

Raising too fast will cause a recession, solving the inflation problem. But then unemployment would be a problem and interest rates would go back down.

All this is to say, while it is imperative to raise rates now to control inflation, this solution comes at the expense of average people.

The real solution to supply side problems is for the government to fix - by making structural changes that enable supply to increase. E.g. reducing import tariffs in the short term, reducing production taxes (increase taxes on $500k+ earners and billionaires if you must) and making healthcare cheaper via open competition of providers (not of insurance)
Inflation is not "transitory" anymore according to the Fed chairman [0]. It's now just inflation and will be permanently affecting prices (i.e. higher prices today and the future will be staying higher, unless an unlikely deflationary event were to push them back down) [1]. So if the average price of CPI goods and services for your average American has gone up 7%, then they've effectively lost 7% of their purchasing power permanently. I'm not sure why this "transitory" meme about supply chains and covid keeps persisting on HN.
