The most destructive bit was the pointless push to mine more gold. The physical volume of gold has very little to do with how expensive it is to keep safe.

Anyway, I thought M1 excluded fractional reserve money which is why it ignores money in bank vaults. Aka as you pay down a loan the M1 money supply is unchanged. Do you have a source for that?

M1 is listed at 20T here: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M1SL

PS:
Before May 2020, M1 consists of (1) currency outside the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and the vaults of depository institutions; (2) demand deposits at commercial banks (excluding those amounts held by depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign banks and official institutions) less cash items in the process of collection and Federal Reserve float; and (3) other checkable deposits (OCDs), consisting of negotiable order of withdrawal, or NOW, and automatic transfer service, or ATS, accounts at depository institutions, share draft accounts at credit unions, and demand deposits at thrift institutions.

Beginning May 2020, M1 consists of (1) currency outside the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and the vaults of depository institutions; (2) demand deposits at commercial banks (excluding those amounts held by depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign banks and official institutions) less cash items in the process of collection and Federal Reserve float; and (3) other liquid deposits, consisting of OCDs and savings deposits (including money market deposit accounts). Seasonally adjusted M1 is constructed by summing currency, demand deposits, and OCDs (before May 2020) or other liquid deposits (beginning May 2020), each seasonally adjusted separately.
It doesn't make any sense on multiple levels. This is a computational prediction and there was no computational alternative- for many of these proteins would never have had a structure solved even if you spent the money. They are just taking $cost_per_structure_solved * number_of_remaining_structures and assuming that things scale linearly like that.

Note that crystallographers are now using these predicftions to bootstrap models of proteins they've struggled to work with, which indicates the level of trust in the structural community for these predictions is pretty high.
Congrats on the round!

I've always been interested in Retool, but have a baseline requirement of any tool syncing back to Git. Is there a reason you don't allow that in the SaaS version?
AMD’s Athlon 64: Getting the Basics Right
Whether or not individuals are excessive, I'd rather live in a world in which people are more aware of when they've made a logical fallacy and work to argue for their point better, rather than the situation now in which people who are basically paid to think and write for a living routinely make rhetorical and logical errors in their reasoning.

If the company was doin' a heckin' success he'd probably be a less grumpy boi.

But as it stands the company is flailing publicly in a very noticeable way with the Metaverse and Oculus and the (frankly insane and ridiculous) push for VR. Their main brand is now such a joke that they are trying to change the name of the company (unsuccessfully; I've seen FAANG used more than once here in the last couple days).

I think it is possible that the stench of failure from the Metaverse is going to start to infect their remaining successful brand: IG.

No wonder Mark is a grumpy boi.

The OP later clarified that it wasn't a normal transaction. They sold a "cheap company van" using their stripe business account. That seems like a huge liability, since a used car seems extremely likely to cause a chargeback. I don't think dealerships would accept a credit card payment (other than deposit) for this reason.

They lied when they blamed inflation on Putin's invasion, only one week into the invasion. At best Putin's invasion explained 5% of that number at that early stage, given the lead-lag in the CPI number and the predominant causal factors being supply chain issues from COVID and recent monetary and fiscal stimulus.

What do you think this is the type of comment, which the administration also keeps making, actually means?

The subtext is: these companies are doing well, and that's a bad thing. How do you think that effects their desire to bring down costs for consumers?

And also: yeah, their profits are up, because due to the actions of the administration people are uncertain about their ability to buy this stuff in the future, and the futures cost goes up.

The question is: do you think this will accelerate us towards a a green energy future.

Her answer: yes, and that's a good thing for the following reasons.

BTW, a green energy future is one where these oil companies are out of business. The energy secretary is saying that she wants these companies to accelerate their own demise at a decreased profit, and how there eventual disappearance is a good thing.

Yeah, gas prices are up. No kidding.
Many teams have been predicting structures for enormous numbers of proteins for some time now. It's just that nobody had any confidence in the predictions.
> you dont think the administration plays any role in the increased gas prices

Essentially correct. Presidents have very little control over this.
Certainly not 80%, but by all metrics, both mine and yours, it is still below what it was before.
I got a 5th grader question about how proteins are used/represented graphically that I've never been able to find a satisfying answer for.

Basically, you see these 3D representations of specific proteins as a crumple of ribbons-- literally like someone ran multi-colored ribbons though scissors to make curls and dumped it on the floor (like a grade school craft project).

So... I understand that proteins are huge organic molecules composed of thousands of atoms, right? Their special capabilities arise from their structure/shape. So basically the molecule contorts itself to a low energy state which could be very complex but which enables it to "bind?" to other molecules expressly because of this special shape and do the special things that proteins do-- that form the basis of living things. Hence the efforts, like Alphafold, to compute what these shapes are for any given protein molecule.

But what does one "do" with such 3D shapes?

They seem intractably complex. Are people just browsing these shapes and seeing patterns in them? What do the "ribbons" signify? Are they just some specific arrangement of C,H,O? Why are some ribbons different colors? Why are there also thread-like things instead of all ribbons?

Also, is that what proteins would really look like if you could see at sub-optical wavelength resolutions? Are they really like that? I recall from school the equipartition theorem-- 1/2 KT of kinetic energy for each degree of freedom. These things obviously have many degrees of freedom. So wouldn't they be "thrashing around" like rag doll in a blender at room temperature? It seems strange to me that something like that could be so central to life, but it is.

Just trying to get myself a cartoonish mental model of how these shapes are used! Anyone?
This is surprising to me. We measure bandwidth in bytes per second, and I'm not aware of that measurement being qualified by architecture. Are talking about the same "byte"?
My dad is a software engineer, so it was always around me. He installed Visual Studio 2008 on my childhood laptop. I didn't pay too much attention to programming at this point since I was more distracted by video games.

In high school, I got really into JS (for portability reasons). I started learning C in my senior year after my dad gave me a copy of The C Programming Language, which is still on the shelf behind me right now.

College is obviously a time for exploration for a lot of people. For me, it was a time of exploration in technology (less exciting then some :p). Learning new things that I loved every single day was such an incredible time for me. It also led to the Dunning-Krueger effect, as I'm sure we've all faced. The beneficial side of that is that I learned the idea of what I didn't know, so I had the ability to go off and explore myself.

If I had to pin point a specific moment, I'd probably choose my introductory CS class's final project, which was to implement the client and server for an /r/place clone in JavaFX. Writing server code became fascinating, on top of working with rendering the (very simple) GUI. I just felt like I actually made something that was interesting, both technically and on the surface.

> Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger has described Wikipedia as "badly biased." He's 100% correct.

Larry Sanger is involved with several competitors, including some for-profit examples, so he has a financial incentive to bash wikipedia

Not to say that he is neccesarily wrong. I wouldn't say "badly biased", but nobody is going to claim wikipedia is perfect.
> Probably receiving kickbacks.

In the best case scenario. The more likely, and actually worse scenario, is that they have no idea either.

Doctors get "free samples" all the time, and are so conditioned to receiving "freebies" by drug reps unquestionably that they aren't even aware of their biases after a while.
Yes there are a million articles. That is why asking a question here on HN is useful. The HN community more often than not offers intelligent insight as well as curated recommended links for learning more about a topic. Yes, the signal-to-noise ratio isn't perfect on HN, but it is a lot better than random Google searches. If nothing else, it often leads to enough basic understanding so that someone can then perform more refined and therefore more productive Google searches. I appreciate the basic questions and the generous nature of many HN commenters who offer thoughtful responses.
A friend of mine was on holiday in Toronto and somehow walked accidentally into a film set. He and his other half wound up "pretending" to be extras. So now the film "Kick Ass" opens with a panning shot down a skyscraper to a foyer where my friend and his wife can be seen having an animated argument.
Using TikTok made me realize that I'm not fundamentally opposed to this approach, but it needs to be done well. That is, it needs to recognize what I care about and show it to me. Facebook, Reddit, Twitter and YouTube have never been great at it. Starting over on a new Twitter account did make it a fair bit better though. And Reddit's email digest things are pretty neat, if a little tunnel-visioned into the same subs.
Are glyphs going from left to right the general rule now? It's not a language otherwise? Pretty sure there are a tonne of pre-Western languages that buck this trend.

People tend to use stickers in amongst regular text in a way that's more "I could write out how I feel/what I'm going to do to you/what you're going to do to me, but instead I will _show_ you".

Take the regular language in between stickers as the grammar/conjunctions as conjunctions are to regular language.
I think one possible reason is colours have become more plentiful, so it's harder to match now. If there's 4 blues to pick from, you're likely to be able to deck out your entire kitchen in matching hues. If there's 50 blues... good luck.
Film crews are truly the scum of the earth.They only pay a couple hundred dollars for a filming permit (at least in NYC) and then proceed to attempt to monopolize entire blocks as if they're doing some "official" important business, attempting to block people from passing, as if anyone at all cares what shitty movie they're filming. They leave trash everywhere, not just accidentally, but they literally just throw empty water bottles and such on the street and leave piles of food on the street for rats.
Wanted to be a commercial airline pilot.

I went a little ways into Mexico (Tijuana and Ensenada) and bright colors were so ubiquitous and distracting it was hard for me to find necessary stuff like street signs and business signs. I was looking for a certain business which I was assured I couldn't miss. I drove past it several times, but just couldn't see it because of all the other stuff visually shouting at me.

I also have a funny story about a film set. When I lived in New York they were filming an episode of Blue Bloods. I had a 12-year-old French bulldog. When the guy with the walkie-talkie told the crowd it was okay to walk down the block, we started walking. 5 minutes later everyone else was gone and the scene was clear except for me and Elvis. Security started hassling me to make him walk faster and I told them that they were idiots. And then Tom Selleck stuck his head out of his trailer and said what's the holdup. I yelled they're trying to make me rush my elderly dog. And he yelled guys leave that old dog alone we can film in another 2 minutes and went back into his trailer.

So I have it on pretty good authority that you can social engineer any situation with an elderly dog.
About a week ago, I (mid 20s) began reading LoTR for the first time, despite having seen the movies long ago. I knew books are always richer in content than movies, but Tom Bombadil was the first radical departure from the movies that I encountered, and the weird encounter was an exciting switch that made me perceive the story I’m reading as new and different from the story I’ve seen.

I hate this idea that people are "built" for it. As if you need to be "smart" or have a special brain to do programming.

> It is a better "making of" experience than any professionally produced featurette or documentary. The main reason being that it is about the actual making of instead of of millionaires lying through their teeth on how all other millionaires on set were so professional, super awesome and how the whole experience was the best thing ever because that is what they are contractually obligated to say.

Highly recommend _Under Pressure: Making 'the Abyss'_ it does not do this. It's definitely still rich people talking to really rich people who are now crazy rich people, but, it does not sugar coat things. Very good watch.
I hate React. I fully understand why it was created and how it normalized data binding with HTML through the virtual DOM, but it (and Angular and Vue and so many others) are like building skyscrapers on a bed of sand.

const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

And that's after the import and wrapping in a function (sorry, "hook"). For a variable. A single variable. Every. Single. "Reactive" variable. To which there's also rxJS and its observables.

Can you build bigger things more cleanly than with vanilla JS? Arguably, yes. I came up when the web was new, before JQuery and Prototype. I remember the chaos. I'm not saying we should go back. Again, React and the others were created for very good reasons.

let count = 0;

That's what I want: to bind that to a tag and walk away. For that, you need a compiler. Not the JSX nonsense and TypeScript transpilation, a real compiler. Like Svelte. I honestly don't care if Svelte specifically "wins", but that model needs to prevail. Otherwise we'll just keep building on sand and wondering why the code turns to crap every two years as new folks are added to the team and old ones leave after the React team decides functions are better than classes after all.
> The problem with things like this is the typical engineering mindset, when shown a graphical or numerical analysis of their performance will zoom into analyse every detail and in the end it's just backed by the managers impressions and judgement.

The point of leveling frameworks is not to magically make everything objective and quantifiable—though I agree that is what many smart young people want and expect (after a decade+ in our Victorian education system)—it's to channel and provide a rubric that many different engineering leaders' (both EMs and ICs) impressions can be compared and contrasted in a structured and relatively fair way. The last thing you want to do is remove expert judgement from the equation, but in a medium to large org it shouldn't be one person.
I haven't benchmarked it, but FF seems as fast as Chrome to me and in my case, tabs definitely crash less frequently.

And my overall memory usage is down.

I switched back about 6 months ago and am completely pleased with the change.

All that said, if they made it faster and more stable, I certainly wouldn't complain. :)

One thing I have noticed is that a handful of websites just don't work and I have to view them in Chrome. I think this is a consequence of our homogeneous environment now.
Economics is a social science. It is probably the most data-driven of the set, but it is inescapably human, and therefore ultimately comes down to judgment.

If you divide a line into infinitely many segments, the length of those segments approaches 0

Hence the real world being quantized. You can't even hypothetically divide a string into infinite points because there is a smallest distance, below which it really does round to zero, i.e., a singularity.

Ignoring the pop-pysch correlation of CEO's to sociopaths, I think that seeing your business going through a contraction would be pretty stressful for a CEO. It's a moment where you actually have to not just fly at cruising settings but actually do stuff and hustle.

Zuck strikes me as a guy who whilst smart, is also kinda lucky and benefiting greatly from the other smart people who work for him. But facebook is causing many social problems and hard working people who do sit back in their chair's probably have the 'are we the baddies' moment pretty often.

The Fed lowers rates when lowering rates could plausibly help. The Fed has a dual mandate to control inflation and maximize employment. Employment remains incredibly strong while inflation is obviously too high which is the clearest possible signal to tighten. The Fed won't/can't react to changes in the stock market, supply chain or foreign policy. It's not just "loosen during recession, tighten during expansion".
The Flight Hack Is Dead
I went into college expecting to major in physics. My first non-general physics class was Modern Physics. The first half was a review of all of classical physics and I got an A on that half. The second half was quantum mechanics and I got an F on that half. It was just too abstract for me and the math was too intense. I switched my major to Computer Science.
