Something similar was done in the Left 4 Dead series with the AI Director:

Tim Larkin: We took several steps to keep the music interesting enough that the players would be inclined to keep it on as they play. We keep it changing so it won't become tedious; to this end, we created a music director that runs alongside the AI director, tracking the player's experience rather than their emotional state. We keep the music appropriate to each player's situation and highly personalized. The music engine in Left 4 Dead has a complete client-side, multi-track system per player that is completely unique to that player and can even be monitored by the spectators. Since some of the fun of Left 4 Dead is watching your friends when you're dead, we thought it was important to hear their personal soundtrack as well. This feature is unique to Left 4 Dead.

For single-player it works really well for building tension leading up to being attacked by waves of zombies and creating calm spots after high-stress encounters.

In the online versus mode however players got really good at using the musical hints as "tells" for when certain actions happen in the game. Most notably there were musical signatures consisting of a few notes that would play when the special infected characters spawn. Coordinated teams could use this to their advantage know when the infected team is about to stage an attack (like an ambush at a choke point in the map).

The frequency of advice-giving usually is inversely proportional to the range of skill available. It's also inversely proportional to the degree to which skill is differentiable.

It's why parenting advice is so common. No one can evaluate parenting skills and exceptional parenting and good parenting don't have that much of a difference between them.

You can get the same network effects of these cloud services through federated networks. Imagine "Federate-book" I run and host my own "Facebook wall" on my local box (or wherever I choose to host), friends can request access to view my content ("friend requests") which I can then control and manage myself, "Facebook groups" are hosted by wherever their creator decides, and moderation is the right/responsibility of the creator of the group.

If some host-er of the federate-book wants to aggregate my data and sell it to third parties, they can make that clear in their terms and I can opt-in/out of that arrangement. If my host-er wants to use machine learning and other methods to wipe my feed of their definition of "abuse" or "fake news", they can try that and I can determine if I trust their judgement. I'll choose whether I want to hear what Alex Jones has to say for myself, thank you very much. If somebody is illicitly calling for violence and should be forcefully banned and punished, then this can be dealt with by the (admittedly imperfect,) relatively transparent and principled system of laws that include foundational principles of justice like innocence until proven guilty, and the rights of the accused to defend themselves.

The status quo cloud-silos governed by a small group of executives opining about what censorship-policies will garner them the greatest profits next quarter are dangerous single points of failure for user privacy, and inherently at risk for becoming tools of tyrannical control and manipulation. Yes there is much work to be done in building good protocols for federated social networks that even grandma can make use of, but guess whose fault that is? "The cloud" didn't exist 20 years ago either, and its ubiquity and ease of use should be attributed to the literal billions (if not trillions) of dollars of R&D that has been thrown at it.

We really can "have our cake and eat it too" in this domain, if the engineers and venture capitalists that build/fund these tools directed R&D appropriately. As the (predictable but unfortunately unmitigated) true cost of a generation of "cloud" mania slowly becomes apparent to the general public, we will likely see a greater groundswell of market demand "fediverse" products and services. Undoubtedly the rent-seeking cloud providers will try and prevent this through propaganda and by force -- we're already seeing this in the "fake news" hysteria and Zuckerberg's call for regulation of social media. But if America's legal institutions and popular support can hold the barbarians at bay, we will hopefully be living with a very different internet 20 years from now.

You think that dis-intermediating banks for electronic funds transfer is not an application?
I see it being used in public registry points.

For example, property records. Right now there are considerable checks and balances needed to ensure there aren't funny things going on with the books when they are locked away at night.

This isn't as pressing an issue in the US, but it is a massive problem worldwide. Central governments in some countries want to be able to track property without the record keepers stealing it.

I don't think we'll see this widespread for the next 20-30 years. But imagine when existing power structures have absorbed this tech and they can then sell it - like VISA selling a block chain property registry to countries where the money is auto transferred in local currency from one end user to another while communicating to the countries central bank... maybe with tie in to bio metrics for ID and transaction verification and automatic tax payments.

Hardly a disruption from existing nation state and corporate power structures, but definitively a disruption in the possibilities of what can be offered.

* Decentralized, anonymized reputation management. Imagine an ebay score that couldn't be owned by ebay, or any another company.

* Decentralized digital Asset ownership verification. Again, imagine facebook without a facebook. Or imagine purchase a music or software token that you could use on any provider, and never expired. Sign up for a new streaming service and take all your songs/videos/games with you from the old one.

* All the legal structures of a company, purchased off the shelf, handling all the vagaries of human resources and accounting, but without managers or payroll accountants. Just remote teammates, who may never have worked before, but know they will get paid a salary, receive evaluations and promotions from their peers.

These are just toy examples, I'm sure if I took more than a few seconds, I could give you much better ones. The problem with blockchain isn't finding applications - it's finding monetizable ones.

All the examples above would make amazing open source projects, but IMHO would be very difficult to generate revenue without compromising their decentralized nature, by inserting oneself into the transactions to take a cut. Centralized control of an application is almost a requirement for monetization, and, blockchains, are, by definition, intended to circumvent centralization.

Moreover, trust and verification aren't new problems, and we already have plenty of centralized solutions for these problems. So, blockchain applications both have to be better than what was there before, and work around the decentralized nature of the system.

Consequently, people trying to make a living on the blockchain mostly resort to monetizing the networks themselves - in other words, developing cryptocurrency-like products of some form. Is this decentralized? Not entirely, but it's less centralized than what came before. If people disagree with the behaviour oof the ethereum foundation, they can fork the currency. However, this still a long cry from actual decentralization. It is certainly an open question what value 'kindof-sortof' decentralized networks provide.

Well said, creating good abstractions is hard and takes careful consideration. Hopefully the abstraction has some kind of benefit; simplicity, flexibility or extensibility. I've personally found SASS to be cumbersome with the encouraged nested of CSS and tightly couples the CSS to the DOM markup.

A better abstraction in my opinion is a utility CSS library like Tailwind.css. It feels strange at first, but compose-able utility styles eventually feels like a good abstraction, with less shots to your feet.

Brilliant plot device. And like much of Gibson’s other plot devices, bourne out in due time.

Remember, the penultimate device in the novel was an antihero’s cornering the global marketplace order flow.
Not really, because the problem is embarrassingly parallelizable, so “best” can always be obtained by stacking additional chips with greater total power draw.

Remember we’re talking about systems made of multiple chips. It’s like asking “what’s the best Bitcoin mining rig?” The question is one of hashrate per joule. If someone asked if you should buy a 1000watt box that did 10TH/s versus a 200watt box that did 5TH/s, which is better?

They maxed out their available power envelope (~70 watts) and the resulting performance is about 20x what they were getting from their prior nVidia platform. In other words, they will always make the chip big enough to pull ~70 watts, at the highest efficiency possible.

My limited understanding of the hardware design is that once you have figured out the specific architecture you can scale up and down the power consumption almost linearly with the die size. Obviously plus or minus various hard limits (e.g. oversizing compute for the available memory bandwidth)

Tesla has already been working on their next chip for over a year. This chip they just started shipping finished design 1.5 years ago. This will not be the last AP hardware they ever ship.

I fully expect that as we delve further into “FSD” there will be functionality on the fringes that will need even more horsepower.

It’s easy to think in the present that there’s a logical “end” where development will be “complete” but that’s almost never actually the case. So there will be a Gen4/5/6, specifically what features they will unlock is very hard for me to predict. I think this is actually the type of thing Elon sees right through like it’s obvious.

Like how he sees a path to colonizing Mars which includes launching a global satellite internet company.

The market cares. It had already priced in a fine, possibly one larger than 3B. The reduction in uncertainty -- knowing the magnitude of the fine -- also positively affects the stock price. If the fine were cancelled tomorrow, you can be sure that, all else equal, Facebook's market cap would jump by 3B.

To the best of my knowledge, the only accepted laws of physics relate to the 3 laws of thermodynamics. Everything else is still considered a theory (to the best of my knowledge), even if the theory works really damn well (for instance relativity is still considered a theory).

I know there are accepted "laws" in other fields related to physics, such as Ohm's or Kerchov's laws in electrical engineering, but I don't think these are generally accepted scientific laws, more generally accepted as engineering laws where for nearly all cases for engineering, they apply to a sufficient accuracy to produce products that are sufficient.
I don’t disagree, but it could have the reverse effect.

Everything from just a ton of media attention and some adoption, to maybe something really positive like coins getting deposited to charity wallets (pineapple foundation seemed to get a lot of attention/vitality for donating their bitcoin).

And it would be pretty ironic if it the coins moved and price of bitcoin crashed and actually became a peer to peer electronic currency for the masses.
