At the core of Web3 projects is the idea that one can own their identity via cryptographic proof. Over time, this concept will find its way into many projects. Especialy into open source projects which try to make the web a better place. Fo

The big question is if this will be a net positive or just adds more bloat. They tried the same with Bing and failed. Bing did not see any uptick even with the new AI features: https://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market

I don't think it's the loop implementation. The stuff in the loop should take multiple orders of magnitude more time than the loop itself: for poly in polygon_subset: if np.linalg.norm(poly.center - point) < max_d

The rest is not a fair comparison, because it rewrites the used libraries, not the application code. You can always speed up an application if you rewrite the used libraries to match your specific use case.

The time is spent in this 3-line loop: for poly in polygon_subset: if np.linalg.norm(poly.center - point) < max_dist: close_polygons.append(poly) I don't think the entire feature set of the Python runtim

The most important part of the article seems to be that this Python code is taking "an avg of 293.41ms per iteration": def find_close_polygons( polygon_subset: List[Polygon], point: np.array, max_dist: float

Even just "anemia in dogs" is sufficient. The first Google hit goes to a page that lists IMHA right away. I am sure LLMs already are helpful to do medical research. But this case seems not to be a great example to show their super

Not by the definition of money I am using when I refer to "the money supply" or the term "printing money". I am referring to sum of money the FED has created.

Nothing in this description contradicts my view that printing more of a currency will lower its value. You showed me a currency that lost 80% of its value while the amount of it was doubled. Not surprising. The plums don't change that.

If it is borrowed from the FED, then it is still paid back with printed money.

What does it mean when you say the turkish bank exchanged their Euros for Liras? Where did the Euros go, where did the Liras come from?

by FreeHugs 3y ago
Really? I have never heard about the process of banks lending money from the FED. Do you have a link where this process is described?

The FED lends someone money? Whom do they lend money?

The M2 money supply in Turkish liras is climbing, but not in the same proportion as the rate cuts and inflation Not? It looks like the money supply doubled over the last 12 months. Does it really need an expert on Turkey'

But was it the lower interest rate that caused the inflation or the printing of money? Over what time did the inflation rate go up from 20% to 80% and by what percentage did the money supply change during that time?

But the "high yield" investments are a zero-sum game. They don't create new money. If you invest in a company and the company is successful, your return is not printed. It comes from the pockets of the companies customers. Th

Increasing the interest rate is supposed to fight inflation. I often wonder if that really works. When the risk-free rate rises, doesn't that mean the opposite? That _more_ money will be printed? When the government says "You give
