You're probably thinking of land-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids, such as linseed, which are indeed composed only of ALA. Algae oil, on the other hand, is rich in EPA and DHA. In fact, fish themselves don't synthesise their own EPA but obtain it from the algae they (or their prey) feed on.

This isn't a uniform truth about taxes, even aggressive ones: the evidence so far around marijuana legalization has been than consumers have been more than happy to pay high taxes, because the net cost of marijuana is still similar to or lower than the pre-legal cost.

We might eventually see a variant of tax stamp fraud for marijuana, the way some states do for cigarettes. But that's just the nature of these things, like you said, and I think the general trend is a "win," in terms of eliminating WoD policies.
They might use a switching power supply on the rectifier side, which works anywhere from 100 to 240V.
I think it operates more on the attention mechanism, as well as exploring different (and often unbeknownst) search space in the processing (the long-term effect of which can be biological in ways we don't understand).

And if taken regularly and had a certain training for a prolong peroid of time, they should be able to "increase the quality" of perception the same way when you play tennis regularly and with enough time you will develop the motor skills and can finally "feel" and effortlessly hit the ball at the center of the racket while swinging your hand in a way the racket travels straight.

Or the same way one becomes less tone-deaf or more sensitive to sounds, etc, (of course, it may go the other direction too - but I think the computational cost is quite different (acquiring vs losing) - still, it's definitely possible, eg, for one to 'unlearn' their mother tongue, etc).
Is Strassen's algorithm actually used in practice? Oddly enough I find myself doing a lot of matrix multiplication recently. But I am just using cublasCgemm3mStridedBatched from Nvidia's cuBLAS library, and it doesn't appear to be public information how it's implemented. Does anyone know if it's actually using Strassen?

Basically the library described at:

https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/cublas-strided-batched-mat...

I am a bit not-sold-yet on the AlphaTensor stuff because in practice it often seems like shuffling the data around in GPU memory is more expensive than doing the actual multiplications. It takes longer to move values between regular GPU memory and shared memory than it does to do a multiply, right? So all these algorithms that are optimizing the number of arithmetic operations, it isn't even clear to me that they're optimizing the right thing, because they require that you shuffle your data around in weird ways, and they don't generally measure the number of "memory moves" that are needed.

That said, I would be happy to drop in a replacement for cublasCgemm3mStridedBatched and test out if it worked better for me! It doesn't seem like these new AlphaTensor matrix multiplication routines are available as plain old c/c++ libraries yet, though.

> What are your thoughts?

I think the camps have already been formed, and nobody is looking to switch sides. I agree with you that there isn't quality discussion around crypto, but I don't know where there is. There are good essays from time to time, but not good discussion on an open forum. Which is why I just click "hide" whenever I see a crypto story on HN, and it disappears from my feed, and I don't have to wade into the river of sewage the comments inevitably become.
I'm usually not the one to praise Biden, but here he's doing the right thing, and well within his rights. Yes, the timing is obviously related to the elections, but that's how the politics is played - you do things that the voters want, you get the votes. If the other guys wanted to do it first, they had plenty of opportunity. They didn't - well, if you lose the ball and the other team scores, then that's the game, you can be sad if you team is losing but nothing against the rules has happened.
This is why you have to have a backup plan for your data and your business when you depend on cloud services. One day there is a very high probability some automated bot of theirs is going to flag you and take you down mercilessly, despite your best efforts. You have to be ready.
If you think your party's policies are good then allowing your party to win elections is a sincere and principled choice. Political strategy is important and thinking otherwise is just incredibly naive.

There were plenty of other topics at hand since Biden's inauguration. I don't know I can say that the order things have been worked on is optimal but I'm glad to see this done.
Russian space officials jettison the bluster after Rogozin's departure
Did not read the paper but did not find any reference to omega 6 nor the ratio of omega 6 to 3. There are studies showing that the ratio is more important than the amount of omega 3 [1]. Because humans typically eat 16:1 (6 to 3) increasing 3 is actually just making the ratio more even which is what matters. A good food for this is flaxseed which is 1:3.5 which is less than fish which can be 1:30 or higher but does not come with the problems of consuming fish. In this reference frame, one can think of avoiding bad ratio foods instead of eating fish. Turns out that basically the most common oils and red meat have ratios of 20:1 (the wrong way) and so just avoiding oil and red meat ends up accomplishing the same goal. As always, nutrition causality is hard to establish, but trying to cut way back on oils and red meat is going to pay much larger dividends than eating more fish.

Just because a pardon can technically be signed quickly and unilaterally doesn't mean that it's pragmatic or wise to do so. As people have pointed out, there's nuances and technicalities, e.g. not applying to undocumented immigrants, that were likely researched and internally debated to limit unforeseen unintended consequences.

And of course, pardons still cost political capital. We all saw how much Biden's people struggled with covid response and getting bills passed -- all of that would be worse if there were fallout from a problematic mass pardon

There are lists of topics on every platform where the same discussions are rehashed every time the topic is brought up. Crypto is one of those topics for HN, same with advertising.

Reddit has a ton of them as well. I don’t use other platforms but I’m sure each sphere on Twitter has them, each Facebook group has them, etc. Simply groupthink/hive mind that HN is not immune to.

>can’t seem to put together a single useful thread that is about crypto

You will probably dismiss my reply as exactly the kind of comment you talk about, but the answer is simple. There is no useful discussion about crypto because there's nothing useful about crypto. That's why we keep going on circles.

If countless of as you say smart, creative thinkers can't have a meaningful discussion about something, maybe the issue isn't the smart, creative, leading people, but the thing they can't seem to have anything to say about.

It's a grift, it has no practical use other than crime or as a get-rich-quick scheme for disenfranchised zoomers and millennials who want to belong to the propertied class rather than actually work for a living. The usual retort is something like 'but the blockchain itself is revolutionary!', except that figuring out what it's good for is left as an exercise to the reader.

People will of course consider this inflammatory but it's just calling a spade a spade and we'd be better served if people put their attention and time to discuss and learn about technology that serves real needs rather than inventing harebrained financial schemes that makes 1980s Japan look fiscally responsible in comparison.

I don't think it's possible to challenge a presidential pardon. Challenging distributing funds by presidential order is something very different - power of the purse constitutionally is in legislature's hands, and taking it from there, even in the current "anything goes" climate, is a pretty serious deviation. OTOH, the power of pardon has always been with the President and nobody would question it. There were some questionable pardons, for sure, but nobody doubts Biden can do it. There's no need for legal opinions to establish such right - it's long established.
Along with the things mentioned in other comments, I would add lots of dictionaries, especially bilingual ones.

We take words for granted, but so much of the shared experience of humanity is embedded in words themselves.
I don’t think or believe Putin will necessarily win the war by escalating to the use of nuclear weapons.

I just think he has been very consistent in “doing what he says, and saying what he does” over the long-term.

And that his personal credibility is tied to this conflict, so escalation is likely.

Escalation by Putin doesn’t guarantee victory(or the semblance of it), but de-escalation by Putin is a guarantee of failure(credibility).

The US has just leaked its unhappiness with Ukraine conducting targeted assassination in Russian territory(seperate from train/logistics sabotage).

But a dirty bomb detonated in Russian territory is far more likely to be a Russian casus belli, akin to Nazi false flag action in Poland in 1939 and Putin/Shoigu false flag action in 1999 with the Moscow Apartment Bombings.

Really? That’s not what OP from the linked article makes it sound like. I wonder if they got decent legal advice on the matter.
Right. I dont get the criticism. He's up for a performance review, and he's delivering on the promises he made when he was hired.

I think the real problem that some people have is that they were hoping to reduce the power of the Democrats in the next election, and they dont like that this is a clearly popular move supported by the majority of americans.
There were interesting discussions of crypto currency a decade ago, because the idea was new.

Sure it is still new even on the scale of modern history.

But it’s not really news except in the way yesterday’s Dow Jones is news. Or the way corporate scandals are news. Or the way celebrity endorsements are news.

And for me, I have already said the one interesting thing I have to say about it…so I won’t repeat it here because it can and will be taken as trolling by people with strong opinions.

Anyway, threads are supposed to be intellectually interesting, and you want useful and between that and my repetitious opining there’s not much meat on the bone…unless pump and dump counts as meat.

Good luck.

I think there is interesting discussion on the technological crypto stories. Those just aren't the big stories in crypto right now! On HN right now the top crypto stories are:

* Possible fraud from Celsius execs

* Celsius leaked data

* Binance got hacked

* Crypto.com is doing less marketing

These just aren't really technological stories. What intelligent stuff is there to say about it? It's just watching some company struggle because crypto is struggling.

Compare to AI, where there have been a lot of real technological advances recently, and the discussion is generally quite engaged and interesting.
After 18. Before that you get a device that can make calls and has a GPS.
I think there is a difference between

> length of the critical path

and

> six months is as fast as it can get done

unless "length of the critical path" accounts for the quadratic(ish) increase in communication overhead as you add more people.

I think that is a little unclear from the question: is the length of the critical path the sum of times one person would take to do those tasks or the sum of the times an overhead-laden person would take to do those tasks?
I find the active and continued harm those people have experienced by being felons to be of far greater value to resolve than winning another election.

And if Biden and friends really wanted to serve their people, they would continually do things their populous wanted and then when election season comes, they would say “look at what we have been doing”, not “here is a crumb, pleb.”

It’s good that it’s being done, but, do more.
Morally (as opposed to politically) the theory is as follows: society forbids people from selling their body — sex, organs, wombs — to nullify any marketplace where an evil person with money can exploit someone else who desperately needs money.

This sucks for the people who aren’t in desperate need for the money and instead have made a lifestyle choice to sell their kidneys / intimacy / children but the state can’t reasonably decide who does and does not need protection from exploitation at the point of use, so they either over-protect everyone or under-protect no one.

That’s the moral choice here — how much freedom are we willing to relinquish in order to protect the vulnerable from exploitation. It’s not about whether we consider the exploited act to be moral or not, at least from a rational point of view.

Thank you for pointing out how overused "Arrow's impossibility theorem" is as an argument against all voting systems (and therefore often as an argument against all reforms to the current near-worst possible voting system).

I would go further and be somewhat dismissive even of "Gibbard's theorem", since it only shows that an insincere vote can strategically produce a better outcome for a voter if they can identify what that that vote should be, and if they are one of the voters for whom such a strategy is available.

So it doesn't guarantee (as far as I'm aware) that even a single voter (under every possible cardinal voting system) will necessarily have enough information before or during the election to confidently pick some specific insincere vote that will increase their chances of getting the outcome they want.
You're forgetting the only real claim of the bitcoin paper that spawned the industry: an append only transaction ledger with tokens that are near guaranteed to be legitimate. If you look at the stock market mess that happened in the past couple of years, there's a clear benefit to a traceable ledger. Of course the big players in the finance industry have chosen to be secretive because it benefits them, so I'm not sure why they would agree to use one.
Just tried it out I am quite impressed with the demo. I tried a non-given buisness prompt "massage parlor" and it did generate results. Although the provided pictures were a bit strange and the initial description of the business said it closed in 2019. But at the footer of the page it said it started in 2020.

I think this is definitely a step up from "lorem ipsum" default text. The generated text was rather formulaic though. For the "services" section every paragraph started with "is a type of massage that".

Is concrete actually a good building material for homes? It doesn't seem like it'd be insulating, and you're definitely not getting internal plumbing/wiring. And concrete is actively bad for the environment. It all feels like the shipping container home -- seems great at a glance, but doesn't really pan out to be lived in.

Ikea style flatpacked prefabs still seems like a vastly better option to me.
Those same reasons you listed why other cities can't fix the problem also apply to San Francisco. Despite being world famous, San Francisco is quite provincial - nothing like NYC. Their population doesn't even break a million, and it's also geographically limited - the infamous "7x7" miles. Mass migration has affected San Francisco in the same way it has for your city - many high income earners coming in from other states/countries to get a job at a startup or Google/Facebook/Apple etc. These people from other cities are complaining about getting a small fraction of San Francisco's outflows - Why would SF be able to handle it better than your city, when they've had the same problem you're having, multiplied by 10?
