There are closed forms for F(n), and even faster ways to get it without needing to compute the sequence.

You're conflating n power with requiring n digit multiplications. This isn't true. The size of needed numbers is smaller for most problems of this type. And special structure is likely exploitable.

A simple proof is to write the recurrence as a matrix, take powers, diagonalize and read off the result. If I recall, the answer is something like F(n) is ((1+sqrt5)/2)^n + ((1-sqrt5)/2)^n.

Then you can only compute part of the first term, the second is small.

Then use the bits of n similar to power mod to compute powers in log n steps.

You only need something like log n precision along the way.

This should reach O(n) easily, perhaps below.

Which of his arguments do you hear as arguments for mandates by the people who can implement mandates? Only hospital capacity. After hospital capacity is not a problem, governments can treat it as endemic. Every single non-Covid-zero government is in agreement about this.

Even your quoted section demonstrates the author's sloppy thinking. Once again, mandates aren't to protect the vaccinated but to prevent hospitals from being overrun. Second, that is not an argument against mandates but an argument for a modified mandate. Third, his argument for a modified mandate is also wrong because we don't allow previously infected people to avoid the vaccine for the same reason we didn't give them immunity passports. Doing so sets up incentives to make the next pandemic even worse.

Joe Rogan brings a bunch of sloppy thinkers including this author on his show, and his listeners don't understand why no government in the world is listening to these quacks. All you have to do is think about the other side instead of passively listening to what the radio guy says, and it's easy to figure out.

No, the difference is that the vaccines for the other diseases are actually reasonably effective at stopping transmission.

This article is a weird bit of serendipity for me as I rewatched this movie over last weekend; having only originally seen Sideways in college nearly 20 years ago. College me didn’t like wine and didn’t even really understand at the time why this movie had such rave reviews.

Now that I’m the age of the characters in the movie I realize that the wine is literally the least important factor in the movie (and also that it’s implied Paul Giamatti’s character kills himself at the end.) It’s funny that such a small subplot in a feature film can have a dramatic effect on a major industry like wine making.
OP is correct. HTTP/1.1 requires the Host header (1). The client must send it, and the server must reject requests without it. Some implementations simply don't follow the standard. For example, you can test this on twitter.com, which appears to be correctly following the specification.

Bro stop spamming your stuff on HN and figure out how to use fucking padding. All of our posts are slammed left and it looks like there's CSS missing.
Public fights can occasionally be net positive for one of the participants, but your arguments will be publicly scrutinized and they better be watertight. If the logic you presented is your best work, then I can easily see why you've experienced some trouble in getting people to support you.

Let's start with the very first argument you presented: getting rejected by YC is a clear proof of collusion.

Getting rejected by YC happens to tens of thousands of applicants each batch. Your chances of getting accepted increase disproportionally if you can show progress since the rejection. To react the way you did is a contrarian move. And it kind of fits the pattern - to publicly insult every VC on Stripe's cap table is also a contrarian move. Not to mention that you also made it clear to all your future potential talent that there's this thing about you not being liked by the VC community in Silicon Valley.

I will skip all the little jumps to conclusions that you also presented throughout your thread, and will instead focus on the big picture here. The whole time I was reading your thread, I was waiting for the triumphant finish (eg: today we're announcing that we stole Stripe's biggest customer). Instead, all I heard was that Stripe is unbeatable, which sounded quite depressing from your company's point of view. I wonder how this will make future fundraising or deal closing any easier. Another contrarian move.

I am not in a position to criticize you because clearly you've gotten very far and something that you're doing must be working. But whatever it is, it's super contrarian. So rather than presenting the Stripe-Bolt competition in the light of a mobster movie, I think a Rambo analogy would be more appropriate - a traumatized but highly skilled fighter declaring war on everyone and their grandmother.
Yes, my first visit to the Met in NYC really opened my eyes to how impressive these works are in person and how much a photo on a screen does not convey.

I read this and cant help but think this man a highly irresponsible person.

I generally approve of anyone modifying their own consciousness on there own time. And I get what he did ended up harmless and even beneficial, but if you are going to experiment with psychoactive pharmaceuticals, do it on you day off for your first ever does. This guy not only went to work under the influence of drug that he didn't know what the effects on his person would be but did so in job were he is directly treating other people at a hospital. I get where we come form here there is a culture of move fast and break things but maybe not when those things are potentially other people.
The names do usually require a specific blend of grape varieties, among other things. IMO it's easier to shop this way because a specific blend from a specific region made in a specific way will have a much more consistent flavor profile than just "California Pinot Noir"—even if you get more geographically specific, the European style of labeling is a better indication of what you're gonna taste, so once you learn a few that you like, you know exactly what to look for in the store.

> There’s no “better”.

To nitpick, there are definitely better and worse winemaking grapes—thing is, the bad ones are only grown by necessity, as in the case that the better ones won't grow well due to e.g. weather, so for obvious reasons they only tend to feature in wine from places that aren't known for winemaking.
I find it odd how quickly the planting changes if Sideways is truly the cause. Shouldn't it be more of a lagging indicator?

Well I knew I'd be lobbing a softball attempting to describe wine in any way on a forum full of people spending weekends in Napa, so ...

OK, let's generalize my comment to "common attributes" of wines like Pinot Noir.
There's a huge rule in coin collecting: never (aggressively) clean coins. Running it under thew tap to release it from the dirt it was contained in is probably fine, but don't break out anything abrasive or acidic.

In the US, many high-value coins are sent through professional authenticators and graders, and they will mark a coin as, say, "Mint State details, but cleaned". that "but cleaned" can knock hundreds or thousands off the sales price.
I don't need to write an essay to point out you are wrong.
Factory farming is not a choice, it is required to satisfy the demand for meat. There is not enough arabale land for livestock, their feed, and for our own crops.

He was infected before he was eligible to be vaccinated. He has natural immunity.
It looks like adrafinil is getting difficult to come by in the US. Mostly I’m curious if on my sluggish work days something like modafinil would give me a kick that coffee just doesn’t provide. Though I already have itchy skin issues messing up my sleep so if I had anything like the reaction you describe it would be a no-go.
That's actually where I ran across the bulletin. The description and discussion are excellent, and I'd meant to link to them myself for those having issues following the MMWR text. (I'm the submitter.)

John Campbell's commentary on the Covid pandemic has been excellent and a source I've returned to repeatedly since I discovered it fairly early on. Clear-spoken, understated, research and facts based, tends to usually go along with concensus, though he will break on occasion where newer evidence or experience suggests advice is flawed, and there he's typically been right.

If he flubs a fact or point, he typically addresses that at the top of the next video.

Not selling anything.
Modafinil is a pretty amazing drug. The come down after one use isn’t too bad. But if you’ve been using it daily for a week, the comedown is BRUTAL: pretty much feel like you have zero energy and feel like laying prone for 8 hours.

Once did 48 straight awake on it and felt wide awake 36 hours in…

Distinctly remember the 1st time I took it. Was perhaps 8pm at night and I swore it was 8am in the morning and I’d just had an amazing sleep: felt completely wide awake and alert.
Ah yep, thank you for the refresher. It’s been awhile since I’ve thought about this. The point still stands!
A lot of Americans really only knew about "red" and "white" wines back then (and frankly still do). Red was very often a cheap merlot, while white was a cheap chardonnay. I recall so many (so many!) terrible merlots and chardonnays from that era, that I was entirely put off of both for about a decade. Only recently have I started asking for either of them again, and I've found the quality has definitely improved. On the flip side, a lot of pinots have gotten lousy in the interim.

But drink what you like. Giamatti's character was so troubled in that film, and his advice was definitely questionable.
Yeah, I think this is part of the problem. Is large-scale, low-quality data good? Sometimes it is (depending on the tradeoff), but from a model performance perspective, it's often more effective to get smaller amounts of higher-quality data instead.

Hopefully people also don't need to be at the level of a professional linguist to label messages like "this is fucking awesome" correctly!

And great point on context. For example, the GoEmotions dataset didn't present labelers with the actual post or subreddit the message came from -- just the text itself. That makes it really difficult to label something like "his traps hide the fucking sun"! But once you see the comment in its original context https://www.reddit.com/r/nattyorjuice/comments/aee3wx/olympi..., and know that it's in the /r/nattyorjuice bodybuilding subreddit, it's much easier to realize that this is talking about someone's large muscles.
People have posted recordings of typing on keyboards so they can file claims and steal ad revenue from anyone whose video has the sound of typing. People are exploiting the bugs in the system.
How would Americans feel if we lost the cold war and Russia started trying to dominate Mexico and Canada?

That's a lot of "what-if", and more than a lot of hyperbole there. In any case the U.S. isn't trying to dominate any of the former Soviet republics (or even former Warsaw Pact) countries in any meaningful sense.

To be honest, I don't think Russia is in the wrong here, there is no real reason why Americans should even be involved with this country right up on the Russian border

So how do most Ukrainians feel about the issue? Does that matter to you at all?

They conclude that now is the last and best possible time to make an aggressive chess move against the West, and snatch up Ukraine before the West can.

Since you're basically saying a Russian invasion is essentially justified - please tell us how exactly how many civilian + military deaths (and severe maiming and dismemberment) you are willing to "accept" (on behalf of the Ukrainian citizenry) as the natural, inevitable price for this bold, strategic move you are advocating.

Hint: something on the order of 10x the number in the Donbas conflict to date (which I'm sure you know) would be a good place to start.
> When I told my Arduino to sleep for 51 microseconds, it was generally sleeping for either 56.2 or 61.3 microseconds. That seemed to easily be bad enough to cause lots of problems.

This is why I've never quite liked the Arduino ecosystem, the way it exists. Sure, it works and it's accessible to newcomers... but it doesn't encourage understanding the inner workings of the platform enough, which is something that is extremely valuable and accessible when you're working with simple 8-bit microcontrollers. Learning about hardware registers and clocks and cycle accuracy really isn't that scary, that's the point of using a tiny (and frankly obsolete) 8-bit platform!

But when you give people an API that takes an integer number of microseconds, and then approximates it, people are going to think they can bit bang an async serial protocol in C using it, and they will be very confused when it doesn't work (as happened here), and you end up in cargo cultish land of trying to work with bad data instead of developing an actual understanding of the hardware you're working with.

I've seen so many people thinking they need to design their bespoke board around an Arduino shield connector because the thought of just throwing on the ATMega directly scares them, even though the thing only needs 5V, GND, and crystal (if that), because what would they do outside the comfortable ecosystem? And it just makes me sad. If you're at the point you're designing your own semi complex boards and you haven't graduated from Arduino yet, you're not letting yourself grow.

(Or maybe I'm just an old millennial and I think these zoomers should be learning microcontrollers by programming in assembly like I did when I was 10 and using the PIClist delay routine generator and counting my cycles before Arduino existed, now get off my lawn? You decide :-) )
That's what I said. No other problem with obesity has caused people to stop being obese. There is no reason to believe that Covid messaging will do that. Worse than that, the people who don't like the government telling them they should get vaccinated also don't like the government telling them they should eat healthier or exercise and will do the opposite on purpose, making the problem worse. The people who aren't in that group who are at risk already got vaccinated.
I did a lot of reading into this after learning my old medication had become the cool thing to do, and the difference between them is largely overblown. Yes, there's slightly more liver metabolism involved but both carry warnings about potential liver damage.
Covid sure as hell is NOT coming to an end. It is a novel virus that rapidly mutates and infects animal populations including pets. It will be coming back over and over again, just like the flu, but with a lot greater chance of flaring back up into a global pandemic and with much more likelihood of causing severely detrimental outcomes. We are NEVER going back to “November 2019 normal.” It is daft to think otherwise.
> modafinil would give me a kick that coffee just doesn’t provide

There's no _kick_ whatsoever and in some ways that's kind of the appeal.
I wish browsers supported text/markdown.
“25% don’t exercise”. It turns out 70% of people are liars.
That was the idea, but in practice the zoom level and auto-centering of the combat screen meant that a good Earthling player could probably eventually win at long range. At close range the Earthling could turn quickly but couldn't output enough damage or accelerate to escape fast enough before the Ilwrath could kill it.
> including a local DNS resolver, network configuration or system time management.

Do. Not. Want.

So, I have this pile of 70 binaries that are inexplicably tied to my init system, and (in my, informed enough for me, opinion) they're all garbage. How do I remove them without breaking init?

This month's fresh hell: I have a problem where the systemd replacement for xscreensaver (logind, maybe? Good luck finding the culprit, let alone the manual!) won't accept my password unless I exit the current X session with "switch user" then restore the session using the normal login screen.

There's a whole section on JWZ's xscreensaver page (from over a decade ago) explaining how to avoid this class of bug, but what does he know?!?

That reminds me; I wonder if a *BSD is a good enough daily driver for the pine book pro yet (it's probably easier to port their kernel than to fix Linux userspace, after all...)
> I'm sorry, am I not supposed to be able to "vote with my wallet"?

Well, yes. But there's another angle as to what you vote for with it.

Voting for the creator's politics is one angle, but there's another one. Whether the creator puts politics into their product.

One of the main reasons I use Brave is because it doesn't do politics outside what matters for a browser. Eich may think whatever the fuck he wants, his team the same. But they seem very focused on building a privacy-respecting browser and standalone Internet services. I don't get politics outside privacy, user control and independent web services pushed to me by Brave. The politics that are there matter to a browser, and the stuff that's outside that scope is left as the people's own prerogative.

The team at Vivaldi definitely has people who disagree with Eich. I like them too, why? Because they also keep browser-making and their politics separate, and "politics" in their context mostly translates to user control and privacy, as it does at Brave. Both teams understand that they're there to make a tool, and that's it.

I know I'll disagree on weighty matters by people making both products, but as far the browser matters, we all agree.

Mozilla is just the reverse: It's about activism first, a browser second, and they are not shy about inserting their extraneous politics into the browser.

We're more and more into a culture where everything under the Sun has to preach some sort of politics, and it usually detracts from making an actually good product, in my experience. I like to support organizations that focus on making good hammers and leave the politics to the parts of life where they belong. Life is far more civil that way.
Video games are an art form unique from literature and film because you can interact with the world. Disco Elysium, Planescape: Torment, the original The Walking Dead Telltale game, and even indie browser games like One Chance on Newgrounds [0] created unique experiences.

For example, Disco Elysium (depending on your choices) talks about genuine change and the fact that other people who've known you for a while might not accept it upon seeing you again. Other games help place you in scenarios where you can make moral choices and experience the consequences (besides the original Telltale games, I'm also thinking of entries from Choice of Games LLC, assuming interactive fiction counts as video games). There are also works of genuine art like Myst or the indie game The Little Red Lie.

Outside of enabling a unique approach to storytelling, certain games can also help grasp specific concepts (e.g. Kerbal Space Program, flight simulators), though typically it's better to study a subject directly than consider video games as work.

There are a number of scenes in the television series Halt and Catch Fire where video games are presented as an art form. Interestingly, a character who treats game development as an art form initially doesn't like Doom because it looks like mindless shooting at first (but I think she warms up with it, as gameplay with a friend lets her open up about a problem on her mind [1]), and she also later enjoys Mario (also primarily gameplay-driven). In real life, trying out a couple of single-player video games recommended by different people I've met have deepened my friendship with them, surprisingly more than what I thought.

Is this the end of Silicon Valley and the tech utopia - when HN also starts acting like a paid media with vested interests like Fox News or CNN . Assuming of course that Ryan’s accusations have any truth to it.
Then again HN moderators and leaders are people and have their biases and I would not expect them to be truly altruistic. Maybe they shafted Bolt.

Edit- Whether there is any truth to it is another matter but I applaud Ryan’s guts to bring this to the forefront. It reads like an episode of the show Silicon Valley.

If your vineyard has cases of unsold merlot at the end of a couple of seasons, you can change pretty quickly.

The graph shows plantings are flat for a couple of years before the vineyards actually started switching, they just weren't planting new merlot grapes.
