cyber: Computing the knowledge of the Great Web.

Abstract: A consensus computer allows for the computing of provably relevant answers without any opinionated blackbox intermediaries, such as Google, Amazon or Facebook. Stateless, content-addressable peer-to-peer communication networks, such as IPFS, and stateful consensus computers such as Ethereum, are only able to provide part of the solution needed to obtain akin answers. But, there are at least 3 problems associated with the above-mentioned implementations. The first problem is the subjective nature of relevance. The second problem is the difficulty in scaling consensus computers for over-sized knowledge graphs. The third problem is the lack of quality amongst such knowledge graphs. They will be prone to various surface attacks, such as: sybil attacks, and the selfish behaviour of the interacting agents. In this document, we define a protocol for provable consensus computing of relevance, between IPFS objects, which are based on the Tendermint consensus of cyber~rank, which is itself - computed on GPUs in consensus. As proof-of-stake consensus does not help with the initial distribution, we outline the design for ecologic distribution games. We believe that a minimalistic architecture of the protocol is critical for the formation of a network of domain-specific knowledge consensus computers. As a result of our work, some applications never to have existed before - will emerge. We expand this work with our vision of possible features and potential applications.

Decent t-shirts can be had at most department stores for around $10 where I live. Minimum wage here is around $7ish. It's not quite an hour after taxes, but it's comfortably two hours of labor per shirt. Sometimes a lot more if you can score a good deal at a discount outlet store.

Granted, you can also buy very cheap quality shirts at Wal-Mart for around that price, but those won't survive much longer than a year with regular wear and washes.
This almost sounds like an outlet without the cover installed?

Definitely not normal what you describe there. I'm glad you were cautious.

>There are hundreds of benchmarks for kdb+, and the speed of k is unrivaled.

Eh, I worked on array languages in grad school and the speed of k was significantly over-hyped. It's trivial to beet with Python and no contest if you want to work in a compiled language. Wall Street develops weird religions around tech.
If you want a fun read that you won't know quite what to make of, I highly recommend Chronicles of Wizard Prang by Stafford Beer - little bit hard to find a PDF from a non-spammy site, but they are out there!

You also have to ignore the listener that don't listen or that don't understand, despite others did or have never put themselves in the condition of needing an explanation.

Basically communication is bidirectional, if the listener don't understand anything, it's probably their fault too.

Understanding is not a right or a gift, it's a process.

You can't force people to understand and no matter how you think about the listener, the listener have to do their part: listen.

I'm still waiting for a USB-C charger with more than two ports. Until then, I'm sticking with USB-A cables for everything except my MacBook Pro. For travel (where outlets are often at a premium), I use a four port USB-A charger on a nightstand to charge 2 iPhones and an Apple Watch (this one: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-Foldable-PowerPort-Sams...).
For battery lifetime -- also charging to lower voltage and stopping discharging at higher voltage. Cathode will stay intact longer this way and metallic lithium has less chance on plating the anode.
Also the fact that you exceed some personal limit (or limit per legally registered company), let's say 25. For example, the general case we're all talking about, a company with 10,000 domains on sale for minimum bid of $2,500 would exceed 25 and would have to pay the penalty on all but the first 25.
Yes, I would love to see this in modern prices, no matter how roughly it gets converted. The use of pre-decimalized pounds makes it even more inscrutable. It would make that list a hundred times more interesting if we had some basis to compare with.
>I think subscriptions are fine

Is that correlated with having ample money to pay for them?
I've been using EasyEDA for the last two years and have started ordering some of my parts from as well. It's worked pretty well for me, just be sure you verify the pinouts and packages for any user generated parts.
I clicked this and expected to read about new kinds of thermal paste or whatever, not to be slapped in the face with a whole field of solid state physics I'd never even heard of before (magnonics). I'd complain about being paywalled by the website but I'd probably not understand anything beyond the abstract (and even then, hardly). Can someone offer a dumbed-down explanation of this to someone who only barely understands Maxwell's equations?
That seems like...an unconventional epistemic outlook. Enough that, if you are saying this is Adams view, it might explain why people think he's acting insane.
Is having an infinite amount of strings the only reason for the claim?

Infinity breaks a lot of things. Infinity isn't even real. So I'm not sure this counts. It seems like the article would have mentioned infinity if that were the reason for the claim. It seems like Enumeration fails for an infinite set too.
> Break areas don't generate revenue. FCs are designed around efficient product flow first, people second

Neither do toilets. You literally set a side a small room with table, chairs and Microwave. There is a lot of things that don't generate revenue but you do them anyways to prevent revenue and reputation loss. Like security guards,cameras,parking lots,etc... These things support the people and process that generate revenue. If walking to a breakroom is 2 minutes (4 total) the employee has 26 extra minutes now, they can slack off or get back to work faster and be more productive and less tired and frustrated (less mistakes). Either way that's 26min work isn't being done so there is no loss in revenue.

And yeah, kudos to them if that's true. It's easy to pick on Amazon but your run of the mill warehouse job is always worse and pays half as much

>> The MuZero training does not use MCTS, it merely observes sequences of
moves/states/rewards.

I'm sorry, I read the paper a bit more carefully since we're discussing it and
I don't think this is right. It's true that it's a while since I read the
AlphaZero paper and the details are a bit fuzzy in my memory, but in the
MuZero paper it's clear that MCTS is used to generate a policy and estimated
value for a current hidden state, and to select an action to take at the
current real game state (the "environment"), then the observed state and
reward are later reused as past observations to train the model, together with
future actions, also selected by MCTS. So it seems to me that MCTS is pretty
central to the training process.

The paper does say that any MDP could be used in place of MCTS but I don't
think anyone seriously plans on using something else than MCTS for board games
in the foreseeable future.

I'm confused by your use of the term "implicit tree search". Could you
clarify?
Although there are some minor similarities, it is quite a different beast. Yggdrasil aims to be a general purpose globally scalable routing scheme and the current implementations do this by providing end-to-end IPv6 transport. GNUnet seems to be much more tailored to specific applications at this stage and may not scale well either.
Is "any hamiltonian dynamics on any phase space of a physical system" not a major enough class of problems for you? This is one way mathematicians study physics. Are you asking for applications of symplectic geometry? If so, here, I've been reading a cluster of papers in this area for a few weeks now:

I've dabbled a bit with OpenBabel and RDKIT, but I found their interfaces especially for simple things (traversing atoms/bonds in a molecule) quite unwieldy. I suspect that a big part of this could "just" be missing documentation / tutorials to get into it.

Maybe I'm just not deep enough into it, but from my impression so far especially when it comes to application-level software (in contrast to specialized research), OEChem and similar closed source libraries seem to be the most widely used ones, with nothing quite comparable available.

> With respect, the US is hardly an example to be followed when it comes to road safety.

can't argue with that, point taken.

> It comes down to whether you believe driving is a right or a privilege. If you believe it's a right then this does seem like an invasion of privacy. If you believe it's a privilege then there's nothing more objectionable about this than having a CCTV camera in your workplace.

this part I do disagree with. cctv at work can only record what I do at work. I grudgingly accept that my employer gets to ensure that I don't steal company property or do other bad stuff at work. I'm also fortunate enough that I can choose to work for a company that doesn't have cctv in the office.

on the other hand, putting cameras all over the road gives the government the technical ability to track pretty much everywhere I go. they might not be allowed to do this legally, but it's funny how "mistakes" tend to happen in these situations.

if I lived in a part of the world where public transportation was truly good enough that I didn't need a car, I might have a different opinion on road surveillance. what I'm really getting at is this: unless I have done something specific to attract this attention, I should be able to go about my day-to-day life without the government surveilling me. for what it's worth, I see an awful lot of cameras in public transit when I visit NYC and london. is public transit also a privilege?
I wondered the same, also thinking about people I know who are starting to program.

In the end I think it's not a good fit, given that basic concepts are still being understood, and the mere task of reading a file and iterating over the lines, even the concept itself of what "iterating" is, is already a big challenge...

Trying is free and won't hurt, though, so why not :)
Correct me if I am wrong but aren't the Martian moons uniquely suited to build sky tethers for inter solar slings shots using current tech?
I would be extremely surprised if we needed anything beyond non-relativistic quantum mechanics coupled to classical electrodynamics to describe the next theory of superconductivity. If there is anything beyond that required, I would be absolutely stunned if it was more advanced than relativistic quantum electrodynamics.

The trouble with condensed matter physics has never been that the underlying phenomena are complicated. We’ve had a more sufficient grasp of the microscopic physics of materials since the 40s. I could write down the complete ‘theory of everything’ Hamiltonian for a condensed matter system in like two lines. The trouble, is not the fundamental building blocks, but how you take a mathematical description of electrons bumping into ions and then generalize that to 10^23 electrons and ions.

The game is to make an approximation that gets rid of the stunning complexity of the full theory without while still preserving the features that are relevant to the problem you’re trying to solve.

Imagine trying to understand how a modern computer running a video game works, but all you understand is the basics of logic gates. Sure, in principal you could understand what’s going on in terms of bit flips, but it’s hopeless in practice. Interacting, strongly correlated quantum mechanical systems are very literally exponentially more complex than a classical system like a computer.
Thanks, I'll give those a look.

Lack of being comprehensive isn't necessarily a problem. I had a very strange math education, a lot of what I am bad at or fuzzy on is because I am basically missing parts of highschool due to various reasons. So there are parts I have and parts I don't.

Perhaps that he wrote "The list of medieval prices which follows is by no means complete or thoroughly researched" in the very first line?

It's not a professionally compiled list meant to present to your boss.

This is not how I defined a monopoly, but a well established practice done by DoJ of the US. Defining a relevant market is not that clear and simple as you described, but it's more of an economical, data-driven process. Look up for hypothetical monopolist test.

I just explained one possible scenario how this could be defined as a relevant market and you're now throwing a bunch of random assumptions on my comment. I would read the link thoroughly (it explicitly mentions DoJ?) and study more on the history of the antitrust law and its applications before doing such.

Not in search, in ads. The ad network itself. Many many many sites integrated Google Ads (AdWords, AdSense, Adwhatever).

Plus the sheer volume and reach that Google has. (It pays millions - if not billions summed up for every little channel they pay for - every year to be the de facto "internet" for many users, many kinds of devices.)

It's basically unimaginably hard to compete with this for newcomers. Sure, they can carve out a niche, and so on, but that's just that.
The official Google charger (18W) is good, albeit about double the price. It's one of very few wall chargers that will power a FLIR Duo Pro camera without it boot looping. It's very picky about voltage and conks out if there's any droop. Most of Anker's products don't work, though some of the power banks are fine.

It's funny how this seems to be a form of meditation. It seems like an incredibly useful tool for the modern age.

I wonder sometimes just how the brain manages to deal with the influx of all these new, abstract ideas on a daily basis. Doesn't seem like there's much time to digest it all.

But if this works, if it really is an effective tool for learning, I could see it as a good way of bringing clarity into your life as your brain synthesizes patterns and makes sense of what it's been working on for the past few hours.

The indecisiveness that people often report feeling during the day may just be a lack of time spent consolidating all the information you've acquired up to that point.

Maybe it's a sign you need to take a step back and do absolutely nothing.

I think Horizon is aiming more at professionals or even small teams. carrotindustries (who started the project) said he was very much inspired by Altium, but wasn’t happy with existing open source EDA tools. So it is unlikely this scope will change unless someone new enters the game.

I try my best in helping to keep the entry barrier low and to smooth rough edges or paper cuts where needed. My goal is to make it not impossible for people who start out with electronics, while still maintaining a tool professionals can work with.

Anecdotally, I have heard grumblings from nurse friends that a big annoyance is that "patient satisfaction" is now a big portion of performance reviews, since patients' satisfaction can go down for things that make them better.

Keep in mind that not only insurance is a factor, but also the fact that many hospital systems themselves are private and have lots of cost pressures. A fair amount of advertising I've seen is for hospital systems.

> I mean, nobody is suggesting that opiods shouldn't be used to treat pain, are they?

Well...yes. Some are quite explicit about it, but even the ones who aren't are advocating for a policy where that is an inevitable result at the margins, yes. It's not like there's a box with a switch that says "dispense opioids responsibly for real issues" on one side and "just hand them out like candy" on the other, and we're debating toggling it.

If you make opioids harder to get, then some people who should get them will now not (which is bad), and some people who should not get them now won't (which is good), but the correct balance is deeply unclear, and unlikely to be determined in the middle of a moral panic.

Note in the linked article, especially, the offhand discussion of "pseudo-addiction".

> If patients reported withdrawal symptoms like nausea or the shakes, the reps were trained to call this “pseudo-addiction.” A doctor who was skeptical of this concept could find studies to back it up — many of them conducted by J. David Haddox, Purdue’s scientific adviser. His research claimed that these symptoms resembled drug-seeking behavior but were actually caused by unrelieved pain. This pain, of course, could be treated by increasing the opioid dosage; these patients should not be diagnosed with addiction. Though “pseudo-addiction” became a popular term in medical literature, there has been no empirical evidence backing up the concept.

This is, frankly, absurd. Are we really questioning whether under-treated pain can sometimes exist, or can cause nausea or shaking? Are we really going to go down the "let's see empirical evidence" road when discussing, effectively, the concept of pain? Here's some empirical evidence; go kick a wall, now your foot hurts. That isn't the feeling of painkiller withdrawal.

For a lengthy discussion of this, I recommend the inimitable Scott Alexander: https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/09/16/against-against-pseudo...

In particular check out his "case 1". Yes, the push against over-prescribing opioids mean real people in real pain will not get the treatment that our current understanding of medical science says they should receive. The costs may be worthwhile, but they exist.

I worked in adtech detecting and blocking this stuff circa 2011. Back then it was common for sites like these to be used to launder impressions into higher-paying CPI categories. So you might have an arcade site (low CPI) include a hidden iframe for a fake beauty site.

It was honestly pretty easy to detect, but it seemed to me that the industry was just looking the other way because everyone in the industry was just trying to drive volume for their eventual IPO.

I think now the iframe stuff is harder to get away with, but botnets were a big source of traffic as well.
Okay, but then: what is the difference between innovation and invention, from your understanding of the common word usage?
