I have a truly marvelous mathematical proof that these variations of pi are concealed in the so-called "hidden dimensions" of an expanded Klein-Kaluza space.

Unfortunately at the moment I have neither the time nor is this post sufficiently capacious to allow delineation of the significant factors involved in the development of this astonishing mathematical result. However I do resolve to do so at a later time (that is, once April 1 passes).
How to Throw Fantastic Parties
The whole point of the FDIC is that it's not good idea to reward people for participating in a bank run.
My fear is not these "small" banks failing. It's that everyone runs to the top 3 large ones and they will get so huge that their failure will be unthinkably bad. Even if they do not fail their power to for example debank people would be a huge problem. Sadly I don't see congress breaking them into small units or adding stronger regulations.
Genetic circuitry boosts cell longevity
A child does not decide to be born, the parents do that (with outside pressure from society as a whole, either for or against depending).

A couple that has 10 children obviously has a enormously higher environmental impact than a couple that has two. Which brings to my original point: It doesn't matter if the whole world goes vegan if the population raises to compensate for the "vegan savings", thus population control is by far more important than veganism.

You can have X number carnivores live in world responsibly or Y > X number of vegans, but if you don't limit the population of either to the responsible carrying capacity of the world, you haven't really achieved anything.

Also, vegetarians capture the majority of the ecological benefits of the lower environmental impact of nutritional lifestyles and framing it as vegan or not is probably not helpful.

It did something useful for the Venezuelans. But you don't care about that because, why? Because you made up a story in your head that someone somewhere probably scammed everyone, somehow? And even with complete transparency and a publicly auditable ledger, they've kept it a secret for years?

All publicly available information points to the project being a success. Is there even a shred of evidence for your accusations? Or do you not need evidence to ignore events that don't fit your worldview?

Bash is the language used to express the unix philosophy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy

It is very much worth a read.

Besides the idea that command line programs are written primarily for the purpose of being composable, and that they follow a philosophy that makes them easy to work together, I think there are a few other pieces of secret sauce.

The lack of boilerplate is a major advantage. Low boilerplate bash pipes means input/output to/from another program is trivial. Exit code behavior as well as error behavior (output to stderr) further enhances the ease of composing individual tools to do something that would take a while to write a script to do.

The power of bash is that just about anything is trivial if it has the form:

get_data | (map/filter |)* | perform_action

Bash can be an optimal tool for just about anything that does not require "joining" different types of data or "branching" behavior.

Once you invoke branching, joining, or complex data structures/formats, bash is no longer the right tool and python is probably the right one (although if ruby had come first, it is actually probably better for relatively simple scripting).

My question is: What now?

The feds are stuck trying to tame inflation, and the skyrocketing interest rates are crumbling regional banks. Big banks are a lot more hesitant to lend to small businesses, and many otherwise viable businesses will fail if credit freezes.

Big banks are getting even bigger as depositors flee, and concentrating risk (even more) imo.

I guess the higher interest rates are doing their job in slowing the economy down, but it's wild that we're stuck with whatever the feds do with their blunt toolset because congress is seemingly dysfunctional.

After 8 years on macOS, I was forced into developing on Windows back in 2015 when I was making a VR game. WSL1 hit at exactly that time and once I suffered through setting up the environment on ConEmu (Windows Terminal nowadays is wonderful), I never looked back.

That on its own is not informative. WHERE in L.A.? Buses are subject to traffic like everything else, and they don't go everywhere at all hours.

Blanket statements like yours are not applicable to L.A., just as the aforementioned fantasy-based excuses for eliminating automotive infrastructure are not.

Of course, that doesn't stop the shamming and scamming. Here's another developer handout: Developers are now allowed to demolish a single house and replace it with 10 units of housing, no permits or review required (or possible). That means more trees cut down, more ground paved over and not retaining water, more blight. Meanwhile, massive Macy's and Fry's stores sit boarded up in dying malls in the center of vast parking lots that are growing weeds.

And developers get even more handouts under this legislation (SB9/10) if the neighborhood they're wrecking is near a "mass-transit corridor." You know what counts as "mass transit" under this fraud? ONE ZIPCAR in a four-block quadrant. One.

No word on what happens if that car gets wrecked, stolen, or otherwise removed. Do they tear the giant monoliths down?

I am up for bikes as legitimate transit, make no mistake. But that's another fun thing about L.A.: They put in poorly-executed bike lanes (and I do support and use bike lanes) but the lanes go for a few blocks and then just... disappear. You're riding along and then POOF. No more bike lane. Years later, nothing has changed in those spots. That's even more offensive: local politicians pander to NIMBYs with initiatives like "Vision Zero," then half-ass it and publicly congratulate themselves. Actually, that's too much credit; they quarter-ass it at best.

Oh, and the result of "Vision Zero?" INCREASED pedestrian fatalities: https://www.kcrw.com/news/shows/greater-la/pedestrian-deaths...

That's because nobody has the balls to ruthlessly combat the real threat to cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers: TEXTING while driving. It should be a DUI-level offense with the same penalties.

Is anyone actually faster on this (or Messagease) than on a normal phone keyboard?

I may have put more than an hour into it already, I'm still only at a bit more than half my speed on Gboard, and my speed with Thumb-key already may have plateaued. It's easier to make mistakes on Gboard, but the speed makes those mistakes worth it anyway.

I did spend something like infinity time learning to type on a normal keyboard, so the comparison is uneven, which is why I'm interested in other peoples' experiences.

Apropos salt in coffee, the way I heard it when growing up was that coffee brewed (or rather boiled) on meltwater didn't quite taste right, add some salt and presto! Having tried that myself I can easily believe that, meltwater doesn't taste the same as well-water. For the record, I tried myself, and yes, when boiling instead of brewing some salt will work, in brewed coffee though, not!

"An attempt to hire former CIA director William Colby to lead a state of Nebraska investigation of the Franklin scandal failed in a legislative committee 4 to 3 vote. Instead, the committee appointed attorney Kirk Naylor as its chief investigator. A major figure involved in investigating Franklin told WMR that Naylor was the most incompetent person the committee could have found to lead the investigation. Colby was a Vietnam War colleague of Nebraska state Senator John De Camp, one of major investigators of the Franklin scandal. Colby reportedly was ready to expose the CIA's own involvement in the use of child prostitutes for the purposes of political and diplomatic blackmail. Colby died in a suspicious canoeing accident on the Chesapeake Bay on April 27, 1996."

I played RuneScape compulsively[1] from about 2005 to about 2013, but haven't really played it since (besides trying OSRS a bit).

1) This assumes that long-serving politicians are a major driver of this activity. Doesn't seem right to me, but hey, maybe I'm wrong.

2) The main downside to term limits is that it tends to put more power into the hands of actors who are not subject to elections—professional bureaucrats, lobbyists, interest groups, and party machines, basically. My perception is that those latter three groups, especially, are behind a lot of this kind of thing—if true, term limits would make things worse, not better.

This wasn't always the case. For years, my website had a numeric vhost configured with an easter egg but I don't think anyone ever visited it.

The neural network inference (and training) is all done in compiled C libraries called by Python. The inefficiencies you're seeing are because you're doing it on a CPU, probably in one thread, rather than on a GPU with tens of thousands of "threads."
I implemented something like this! The Dr. Lojekyll [1] datalog system was built around the idea of inputs as receiving messages over time, and publishing outputs (also as messages) or responding to queries (using materialized views). It worked quite well, but it's differential nature ended up being the downfall for the usecase we had in mind.

Specifically, it had no way to "extend" its consistency model out to consumers of its messages, and so if consumers were also producers, then this distributed system as a whole could enter into a state where parts of it are lying to itself!

Otherwise, there were some really fun things you could do with it. For example, we could have per-client databases that would bring themselves up-to-date given the differential outputs of the server database. This would let you engage in a kind of manual sharding of data.

> Bear with me here, but only malice or incompetence could explain this choice by the US.

I think you misunderstand the purpose of the sensors, which has your analysis going off in the wrong direction.

> If Russia bombs Ukraine, they will claim it is a false flag op by the US. (They’ll have an almost fair point too after Nord Stream, but that’s neither here nor there.) These sensors controlled by the US and inevitably reported on by the US administration and the same “independent media” which submits their questions to the White House in advance will be of exactly zero value in disproving this allegation.

The purpose of the sensors is not to enable fighting a PR exchange with Russia in the event of a nuclear incident (whether a nuclear attack, or sabotage or attack on a nuclear reactor.) The purpose of the sensors is to allow the US, Ukraine, and other countries in the region timely and actionable information on which to act in the event of a nuclear incident.

> Why the flying fuck would they not at least proxy this setup through a nominally independent NGO?! Market it as combined NATO op?

Even if PR was the purpose, a combined NATO/Ukraine op would have the same PR implications as a bilateral US/Ukraine operation. As would any transparent NGO front (and, at this level of interest, any NGO front is going to be essentially transparent.)

Glad to see a cherished local delicacy featured on HN! Growing up in northern Sweden, I learned to enjoy it even before I started drinking coffee. While it is a rather mild cheese on its own, when immersed in coffee it softens up and absorbs some of the liquid, giving it a texture somewhere between Camembert and Tiramisu.
It pairs well with the traditional Swedish way of preparing coffee, which is coarsely ground coffee seeping immersed in boiling water. Similar to a french press, the unfiltered particles in the coffee give it a more rounded taste, as do the fat the kaffeost disperses into the coffee. As far as I understand from traveling the area and talking to friends, it is more common to eat it like this in the northern parts of Finland and Sweden, whereas further south (but still in the "northern parts") it is enjoyed on its own together with cloudberries.

The article seems a little bit confused regarding locations, though. It mainly uses the Swedish name kaffeost and claims it to be a Scandinavian delicacy (i.e. excluding Finland), but it gives several names for the cheese in Finnish without mentioning Finland. My understanding is that it is mainly a Finnish thing centered around northern Finland and Tornedalia [1], at least originally.
