if someone finds a O(n^100) algo for NP complete problems, the obvious next step is to start lowering that 100 exponent.

Given the current developments, I would not be confident that it would not lower dramatically pretty soon.


if your acres were in the middle of the city, with one lonely house surrounded by trees to stop the noise from outside, yes


I wonder how that happened.

Maybe someone proposed Postgres and they said well who is going to support it. And then they'd have to pay some company to show they have postgres support anyway.

CSV has no support.


well it is svg, it is doing it from circles and lines as primitives, it wants to do it simply and kind of builds the whole thing hierarchically. Making it 3d is way more complicated (as the POV example shows) and the prompt doesn't say 3d anyway

Basically the following days have the same day of the week: Jan 3 or 4 on a leap year, last day of February, all the even pairs day / month days after that (4/4, 6/6, 8/8, 10/10, 12/12), 7/11 and 11/7, 9/5 and 5/9.


Respect to 2, don't you just look up at the start of the (gregorian) year when stuff is?

I mostly do that in my country just to check when the holy friday holiday is, a few saint holidays, a couple of celebrations for the virgin mary, etc.

Like, I know Easter follows a weird lunar calendar but I don't really calculate it.


It would work until you need to route an international call.

And there's a lot of telemarketing and scams happening across country lines.

I mean, they should still do it. It's just the first problem they'd face.


In Finland international inbound calls using Finnish caller ID are simply blocked (mandated by regulation since 2023).


That's fine. International calls pay a dollar a minute. If telemarketers had to pay that they'd be out of business.


International calls pay whatever the caller network wants them to pay. You're assuming that the caller network isn't part of the scam.


Incorrect, it's the callee network


Sure but the caller network bills the telemarketer and they could be in cahoots.


Well yeah but that applies to local calls too and no telemarketer will sign up with a provider more expensive than they need.


Yes, but the premise here is that for national calls it becomes harder to spoof the caller id. In fact, here in Italy we're seeing an increase in telemarketing calls from Spain and France, so it's not entirely hypothetical.


I'd love to be able to opt out of receiving any calls originating from out-of-country.
