Not sure why though. The author is using HN as a proxy for SV, generally-- not just talking about a trend on HN. (Which is a dubious conclusion by itself.) He's saying this usage makes the writing style a) peculiar, b) a new trend, c) intended to unnecessarily convey hype, d) specific to SV culture, and e) something 'no decent writer' would do. This style was used consistently in national, prestigious non-SV media for the past few decades so it's a) not peculiar, b) not SV-specific, c) not new, and d) not specific to bad writers. I doubt it's used solely to unnecessarily convey hype but I didn't dig that far into the newspaper examples.
CPAP has only partially helped me. I don't feel as tired, but I still feel tired all day.

That's almost certainly a scam; I don't believe any counterparty short of the US government can actually insure against eg SVB.
I think you state the point perfectly. Desalination presumes that the "need" is for drinking water. 80% of the water that humans use in California is for agriculture, only 20% is urban use.
> “These results indicate that Turner and Monet’s paintings capture elements of the atmospheric environmental transformation during the Industrial Revolution,” the researchers write

I think it’s more that the painter captured the change/modifications caused by the Industrial Revolution, then “capturing the pollution”.
How is this happening? Wasn’t the UK bank meant to have a separate balance sheet per regulations?
This is expensive. Banks can do this, but it's more of a last resort than the main plan.
I often open the fridge to find it packed with vegetables, fruits, eggs and other healthy ingredients. I then close the fridge, about 2 minutes later, still empty-handed and still hungry, saying aloud to myself and to whoever will hear…

”There’s no food!”

So, I completely understand.
> most of the time the page cache offers the semantics you actually want, memory quick access backed up by persistent storage.

If you are thinking about a ram disk it is likely because you want guaranteed low latency. With a cache you get hosed by delays when pages are flushed. I remember having to run daemons just to keep caches warm by periodically accessing data that I might need later without having to wait for it.

Who got hurt by execs selling stock into the market? Hopefully sophisticated investors who should’ve known better. For over a year there were indicators SVB was not healthy.

Edit: if you don’t like the 10b5-1 rules as they stand, feel free to submit a comment to Gensler and Co at the SEC. If you can’t trade on positive material non public information, why would you expect them to trade on negative MNPI? Follow the rules and what is least likely to cause you to end up in handcuffs or in front of Congress. That is a logical and rational decision.
The Arab slave trade took even more slaves than that - mostly Black, but some 2 million Europeans too. How come they didn't benefit so much from it?

In fact, almost every region in the world practiced slavery at some point or another [1]. So how come the relatively small fraction of slaves (e.g. the US is only 12% Black) had such outsized economic benefits for the US and Europe, that didn't manifest in any other instance of slavery?

And the US also waged an expensive and bloody war to end slavery. Did we take into account how the lack of such a war would have helped their economy? Or are we only tallying the economic benefits of slavery, and ignoring its costs?

I'm glad there's no obvious shortage in Canada, this stuff has a tendency to spill over from America. I finally I was to get prescribed and it definitely works for me. 20mg of Sandoz XR, it's like magic.
I didn't. One-for-one products like AWS instances lend themselves to less obtrusive enforcement. One-for-many products like desktop software require pain-in-the-ass key management.

One small correction: changing just the mode (i.e. keeping the same notes while changing the tonic) is usually called a modal interchange.

Modulation typically changes the notes, which is achieved by changing either the tonic or the mode or both. For example C major to D major is a modulation, but C Ionian (major) to D Dorian is usually called a modal interchange.

Also, to be honest, the last paragraph is very simplistic and makes me wonder if the whole comment didn't come out of ChatGPT.
At the same time, making sure that those with the wrong religion and/or skin tone would die rather easily was still accepted practice of the time. I my other comment I gave a few examples how mass casualty policies were introduced with the more or less implicit understanding that people will die in the millions. This is like the difference between white-collar crimes and those of the poor - the punishment matches how graphic it is, not its overall effect because the causality chain obviously washes out the responsibility.

Almonds 100% agreed, what a waste. Cows as a by-product of alfalfa, also gets an amen. But really it's not the cows, per se, that's the problem. We should be feeding them other product that takes less water to grow. Alfalfa is a terrible water hog.

Cows don't like new food. That's one of the problems. Once a farmer starts feeding a cow alfalfa, the cows are afraid of trying other alternatives. So the farmer has to start early and break with tradition. It's a hard problem.
Respectfully, it's not. Choosing a bank is an aspect of risk management, the act of throwing all your money into whatever thing that calls itself a bank and is most convenient is not risk management, it's risky behavior.

Risk management would be asking the question "should I be putting all my eggs in a basket that seems very tied to the tech economy / northern California real estate market / low interest rates?". Diversification would be trying to get the money you use to pay your tech workers invested in something as far away from tech as possible.
Would be better if you could pan around the board. Having only linear scrolling kinda defeats the concept.
They bought treasuries and triple A rated mortgages. what else do you expect a bank to do to when seeking yield?

They aren’t just a vault for your money - they would charge you handsomely if so.
> They may not have anticipated the ferocity with which there would be a run on the bank

Bank runs are pretty much always ferocious because 1) that's what a run is, rather some euphemism for the prelude like "temporary liquidity processing anomaly" and 2) they're positive feedback loops that end up ferocious as soon as someone responding to the "TLPA" gets noticed by someone else.
Ask HN: Is there any current “web of trust” social media?
I want something like reddit or twitter or HN, but only where I see content from people I've "trusted" and second and third degree etc trusted people from my direct trusts.

I don't really like reading reddit anymore because I'm not convinced a large majority of the content is genuine. Reading anything in the news or anything political or even product recommendations just seems overly astroturfed and not genuine.

Facebook isn't really an option because Facebook still puts crap in your feed that has corporate interests, and people don't really friend strangers.
Agreed. It's inevitable that groups are going to want to bond around some artifact such as clothing, a tattoo, or other mutilation ritual.
Changing the clocks does almost nothing, so most schedules don’t have to change.

The difference between Matlab/Octave and Python/Julia is the difference between Windows and Linux. Windows is a product that is designed to get out of the way, so the user can do what they are actually interested in (watching movies/doing business tasks), and the Linux is constantly in your face about your freedoms and which combination of libraries and packages you need [1].

To learn and use Matlab/Octave requires learning very little programming or the intricacies of programming. To use Python, one has to figure out packages and libraries and object-oriented programming. To even use Julia, which is much better, one has to think about, how can I write my code to avoid the initial JIT delay.

When I am thinking science, I don't want to think about any of those things. I want to think about science and science alone. The intricacies of the programming language should not bother me.

Yeah, I recently picked up a 2015 15" MBP with 16GB of RAM from Facebook Marketplace for pretty cheap and I am absolutely loving it. I've got a much newer and beefier Lenovo Legion for CAD work and some other heavier tasks, but as a daily driver this machine is great so far. I had a much newer MBP for a while but it sadly died a coffee-induced death; I'll probably pick up an M1 or M2 at some point since this unit can't run the latest OSX, but other than that this unit leaves me wanting for nothing.
Infrastructure problems are never easily and cheaply solved. For example when the Meltdown exploit was discovered it was internally embargoed to distribute knowledge of it for some time as how to fix the problem was discovered and the multitude of vendors that needed to issue firmware fixes and kernel fixes were brought up to speed.

In theory the best course of actions is to issue mandates that infrastructure gets fixed while the stem of tools to hack said infrastructure is reduced for some time.
I predict the Federal Reserve will buy them at close to 100% non-default value while dry heaving over their involuntary involvement in politics. I further predict that those shorting the securities will lose their court case against the Fed, since the action would be protected by the 14th amendment:

Section 4

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Hello HN! I have posted this game here on this forum earlier. This is a tiny hobby project of mine.

While I have received good feedback on this game in the earlier posts, many people have also complained that the levels get too difficult too quickly. Despite the apparent steep rise in the difficulty level, I have found that it is possible to reach level 5 with some practice and level 11 after a lot of practice. I don't know anyone who has reached level 12 yet.

Today I decided to add an autoplay feature to the game where the game program plays the game on its own. If I remember correctly, some DOS games of the 1980s era used to have such a feature. So this "Show HN" is meant to show this autoplay feature in action. The autoplay algorithm is quite rudimentary. It sometimes makes mistakes. However, it has been found to reach level 12 a few times. That's better than any human is known to play this game yet. Despite the primitive nature of the algorithm, I find it quite fun to watch. I hope you find it fun too!

Yep, agriculture still 80% of water usage, because it's free.

Same up river from California on the Colorado (Utah, New Mexico, Arizona) as well so it's not like changing industrial or residential consumption by even 50% makes a dent. Limiting or taxing export of water intensive agriculture (alfalfa, rice) would though!

Okay, I best stop here before I end up on the /HackerNewLunatics on Reddit. The problem is that we live in an age with a surplus of information. If you want people to read your article or blog rather than the million others on the same topic, you must somehow lure them in. "I am a boring person with a boring career, please read my article" doesn't quite tend to cut it anymore. This results in the word hyperinflation you observe. As a result, finding good-quality articles on certain topics has become more challenging, and I suspect it will only get worse with ChatGPT-4 around the corner.

I don't think this phenomenon is exclusive to Silicon Valley. If anything, Silicon Valley has calmed down somewhat. There seem to be fewer start-ups that provide a solution to a problem that doesn't exists (think Juicero)
Really great marks. Almost perfect. Except the key piece "The company should be able to sell its AFS with minimal losses and about $2-3 billion of the portfolio pays down every quarter. The company also has some borrowing capacity. So, right now it looks unlikely the losses on the HTM portfolio will get triggered, it is a risk."

File this under... "thought it was bad, didn't know it was THIS bad." And enjoy the millions of dollars you made :P
Its a very cool project but as I have seen some other cool efforts as well, I feel that the domain of "open source computer-assisted music theory tools" is quite fragmented and people must reinvent wheels.

I wonder if we could imagine some sort of community project that abstracts certain music related objects (scales, chords) and representations and allows e.g. CLI or web-based rendering using possibly different stacks, interfacing with musicxml, lilypond etc.

Something like the "Grammar of Graphics" but for Music Theory
That’s not what capturing means. Our ecosystems for sure depend on the runoff. But in extreme weather events like this rains hammer the state way more than usual and the runoff is excess of what the ecosystems rely on. That is what is being captured here. It will be going to waste otherwise.
“Sophisticated” doing a lot of lifting in this case. Very aspirational. If you’re buying single named securities without any due diligence, you deserve the returns you encounter. That’s your job!

No one index investing is going to feel this in a material capacity. Depositors will be made “whole enough”, and an irresponsible bank got blown out and dismantled. The system worked. If there was fraud, regardless of criminal and/or civil, prosecute those responsible.
I went looking for something like this for NVMe drives and there's surprisingly little available. External (USB3) adapters for NVMe drives can be had for under $20, so I'm surprised there aren't internal 2.5'' / 3.5'' options available (there are PCIe cards, but on a mini-itx board there are no extra slots besides the GPU).

Not following this at all. You having to pay tax in USD means you're going to prefer holding USD and being paid in USD as well. Anything else would be strictly inferior, as now you have to worry about doing conversions all the time.

Note that it's mandatory for taxes to be withheld with each paycheck, and those withheld taxes must be paid in, you guessed it, USD, so you must be paid in USD as well.

What's open sourced here is the design kit. Designed chips need to be sent to IHP to be manufactured.

SiGe isn't also that useful for military radar applications. Compared to SiGe GaN has much greater breakdown voltage which leads to greater output power and better efficiency. It's possible to get 10 to 100 times more output power from GaN chip compared to SiGe. It isn't really possible to make high performance long range radar with just SiGe although it could be used in some parts of it.

A teacher is by far the best way to go, failing that The Complete Musician is the best book/source I have seen for self study. The problem with self study is that the basics of harmony/triads seems very simple and people plow through it and think they understand than get completely stuck. Everything is built on harmony and if you do not understand it you will not progress. If you go with self study remember that if you are stuck it means you did not understand what came before, go back and figure out what you missed, which is where a teacher is very handy since they will have a much better idea about what you missed than you do.
