All I can take away from this is that it really doesn't matter where it came from. The real problem is dealing with something like this was a failure on so many levels regardless of where it came from. The OP definitely finishes with the emotional desire to blame that still doesn't change the fact that the despair is not from where it came from but rather our global dealing with it.

> Confidently exclaiming that downscaling, gaussian blur, and taking a picture of screen showing that from far away can easily be restored by deconvolution...

I don't think HN (or Reddit) posters are arguing that deconvolution was actually being used, or that it would be practical to do so. Instead, they're just nitpicking about the technical correctness of this particular statement - "the (ir)reversibility of a perfect digital gaussian blur" - even if it doesn't affect the conclusion of the experiment.

It's just the standard nerd-sniping as seen in all tech communities... If the debate on whether you can "reverse a photo of a gaussian blur taken by a camera from the monitor" became hot enough, eventually someone may even spend a weekend to code a prototype to show how it actually works better than most people's imagination, with the solely purpose to win an argument on the Internet.
It is really. You can use a gun as a doorstop or a paperweight, but it wasn't designed to that end. It's designed to deliver massive force to a small target at range and though that could be an object (eg in a target shooting competition), the intended target is usually an animal or person. Please don't insult people's intelligence with semantic games.
I assume it's going to be much, much riskier to rely on sentiment affects of an article rather than valid research when shorting.
I never had any issue where the task queue would go down but not the rest of our infrastructure. If it's a large system (which is definitely relative) then it can become a job on it's own to keep this part of the system running. But by then, I guess, you'll have the resources too.

Also, you don't know the team size behind this service, as I mentioned in my original comment.
I don't know the history around those elections, but Wilson is mentioned to win over 400 electoral votes. Here the majority system hides if the republicans were that bad overall or the three way split was always to the benefit of the democrats, but if the latter, I'd tend to agree.
I travelled to Chichen Itza with Mayan Elder, Hunbatz Men [0] - it was mindblowing how acurate that pyramid is as a celestial calendar.

Every geometrical aspect of the structure represents various cycles.

The impressions on the sides represent the months, the steps to the top represent the years of Sirius cycling, the internal steps represent the Pliaedes cycle of 72 years - when you stand on the top of the pyramid, the slant of the base of the top where it meets the vertical line is perfectly aligned to the horizon, which when you look down any line in all cardinal directions lines up with the horizon perfectly - and illustrates that they knew the measurement of the earth.

I lost it in moves - but I used to have his poster of all the Mayan era/cycles/time-periods...

-

He states that the Mayan Calendar is actually an instruction set for sending DNA through space as the Mayans believed in PanSpermia and that Humans come from Sirius. The Dog Star.

This is absolutely one of the easiest things California can do to help mitigate (even so slightly) the complete disaster that is the Colorado River Compact. I 100% support California using all the water they can coming from their own mountains and runoff. The Colorado River Basin needs to stop servicing so much agriculture (in general, especially in California) and this is a fantastic way to help mitigate it. Such an easy solution, targeted directly and used locally right at the point of site of the farmer.

Hopefully the underground aquifers can start filling back up too, not just the reservoirs like Tahoe. That's where a lot of the other agriculture water comes from, being pumped up out of the ground. Unfortunately, it takes years of consistent water to refill the underground stores.

Of course, the lengths are just doubled. If someone travels twice as far to get to someone’s home they also have to travel twice as far back. If the two met in the middle instead there would be four journeys but each would be half as long (2+2=1+1+1+1).

Wild macaques challenge the origin of intentional tool production
If you are talking about a set of seven notes, that is not a scale. C and Am have the same notes, but a different tonic, but they are different scales, so a scale is defined by the notes it contains and the mapping of scale degrees to those notes.

What you are describing, seven notes that do not 'start' anywhere, is the set of all scales that are enharmonic with a given scale, meaning they have all the same notes. These scales are said to be relative to each other: Am is the relative minor of C.

I think what you're trying to get at is that when you don't consider any note to be the tonic, and play freely in a set of seven notes, you can play more expressively. If you change the tonic without changing the notes in the scale, you are now playing in a different mode.

For example, if you started in C, playing the notes CDEFGAB, you are playing in C Ionian (much more frequently just called C Major). If you change the tonic to A, the scale is now ABCDEFG, or A Aeonian (much more frequently just called A minor). Now if you change the tonic to D, the scale is DEFGABC, or D Dorian.

>Still, my point was that saying that bank lending is like lending money to a friend and "You now have an asset (the loan) and your friend has a liability (the debt) and the amount of M1 or M2 money in supply has not changed." doesn't make sense.

On the one hand, you go to a friend and say "hey, can you lend me $100; I'll pay you back $105 in a year?" and your friend agrees.

On the other hand, your friend puts $100 into a 12 month CD, and the bank pays him a 2% interest rate. The bank then turns around and lends $100 to you as a 12 month personal loan with 5% APR.

Can you not see why there are some who would say "it is obviously wrong to suggest money has been created in the second case, but not the first" or indeed "in neither case has money been created"?

By the way, in case it is not obvious: the fact you don't have a compelling rationale to make me believe your description of the world, and I don't have a compelling rationale to convince you of my view of the world is why there are multiple competing theories.

I am not trying to tell you that you're wrong; just that you're not right.

I guess normal RAM has pretty much infinite TBW compared to an SSD?

Some SATA SSDs have a cached mode where data gets put into normal RAM first, and then copied onto the SSD, but it's not really useful other than getting overinflated benchmarking numbers (things get messy if your system loses power before the data can transfer from RAM to the disk). Samsung calls it RAPID, the Crucial name is Momentum Cache
This was basically what I was asking. Okay so, because the bank has access to an external supply of “money”, they can loan out more than they have in reserve. Thanks!
I think what really drove actors like SVB to indulge in speculative yield-chasing was central banks driving rates to zero, saying they'd be near zero for a long time, and as inflation ticked up that they weren't even "thinking about thinking about raising interest rates", and then continuing to hold them at zero while calling inflation transitory as it reached multidecadal highs.

This trained everyone to speculate that the Fed was ignoring inflation on purpose and they should allocate accordingly.

So many people unbuckled their seatbelts as the driver sped through several red lights while saying he wasn't even planning to touch the brakes. When he did eventually slam the brakes a moment later, the passengers flew through the windshield. The driver deserves blame, but blame him for speeding, not for slowing down -- the latter is the only responsible thing he did.

I've considered a PhD because this is very much a field I want to get into, but I also don't really want to be a traditional software engineer anymore. However, I'm also mid 30s and my undergrad degree isn't CS. To get into a PhD program, I'd probably need to get a CS masters. To get a CS masters I have to take at least a year or two of undergrad classes (expensive and time consuming) just to get to a place where I can apply to a masters program. I'd also have to spend a year or more applying. Between masters program, then applying to PhD program, then finishing PhD program, I would be in my early 40s. I would also likely be taking a pay cut from my product manager career now, and I would lose out on a ton of income over the course of my PhD program (probably close to a million dollars worth).

It just doesn't make sense to spend 7-8 years of school for only 20 meaningful years left of my career when I finish.

Speaking as someone who did have a computer from 10 years ago as the main computer until a year ago, no, it's very realistic. At no point did I come across a game that was "my computer isn't powerful enough to play this game." Even compiling large projects is less helpful than you'd think: a clobber build is still context-switch-while-it-finishes, and incremental builds usually don't build enough for all of the extra threads to be worth it.

Sure, maybe my computer might have screamed at me if I tried to watch AV1 or H.265 4K video, but... my computer is 10 years old and so is my monitor, so I don't have a 4K monitor. And, quite frankly, I don't see the point upgrading from 1080 to 4K.

This is incorrect. The frequency domain inverse of the Gaussian ends up yielding a division by zero. There is no inverse for the Gaussian.
Yeah. I don't think it should be banned, but what you're referring to is a common example of the tendency of people, especially engineers, toward binary thought. You see the same thing with AirTag concerns - people say, "there have always been small GPS trackers available", without elaborating. By itself, it's such a weak argument. Ironically, the more "human" a variable is, the more humans tend to ignore it when asserting, "X is no different than Y."
There was a time when 1GB of memory cost maybe $50 but you had to pay a sizeable premium to buy a server capable of handling more than 4GB. Sites had racks full of 4GB servers acting as memcached boxes. It's a lot easier to buy servers that can hold 256gb or more of ram, so your expenditures are more balanced between ram and other stuff, and you are still using commodity ram.

I'm just claiming that saying that M2 money supply doesn't change in the second case is wrong because it has been defined to measure exactly that. Under the assumption that money has been created in the second case, but not the first - whether we find that obviously wrong or not is irrelevant.

I'm only trying to make you believe that the thing that seanhunter wrote is seems incompatible with his own definition of money supply which makes the bank loan situation different from the friend loan situation.

Annoyingly, I cannot actually find their agreement on their website (which is annoying common for financial services), but I found what looks like their contract on a random third party site through google [0]. If you are actually considering giving them hundreds of thousands of dollars to manage, you could contact them and ask for a copy of their standard agreement.

The lookup of whitehouse.gov (is that the same was house gov, where dotcom was a porn site?) should hopefully be a company name.
So perhaps we could use organisations from the DNS system?
Or flip the DNS name, write out which geographical or organizational topology applies to every aspect of it on mouseover/touch, to make it readable left-to-right in the case of english etc.
And we could combine this, as proposed before, adding the information looked up from DNS for non-private accounts to every domain that is used in browsers or social media.

Another random idea:
Social media could be kind of a reversed "obligatory imprint", i.e, having a natural person's or company's name as your acccount should mean that they should have a postbox for inquiries. Normally, pseudonymous content is required in germany to have an imprint refering to a legal entity. Reverse, because you claimed to be a legal entity, so be liable for that here. Enforcement could be done via ".well-known" addresses on hosts that serve the actual imprint sites? Or with more effort, by sending codes to physical postboxes, that need to be matched for every company or organisation.
