If Bitcoin's price fell so it becomes unprofitable to mine, that will not cause Bitcoin's price to go up until it is profitable for miners. Instead, what will happen is that miners will drop out until mining becomes profitable for the remaining miners.
On a similar-ish note, Neuropath by Scott Bakker.

Scott's MO through all of his books is to write about free will, specifically the idea that we don't possess it and that our brain makes decisions by itself and that consciousness is an illusion.
But it has an impact on your team's ability to deliver value over the long term. Social bonding increases generally increases trust and trust increases willingness to communicate. If I've had multiple positive social experiences with you over time (IE chit-chat), then I'll be more willing to communicate with you about technical issues as well. If you make me uncomfortable and nervous socially, I'm going to wait longer to bring up a possible integration issue or requirements conflict. Over time that is WAY worse then slower deliver of features in isolation.

Different projects and organizations vary, but I've been on teams where a "brillant" but anti-social person left (or was ejected) and seen overall throughput for the team shoot up. And I've seen people brand new to coding (and without much skill in it) still deliver value rapidly because they are relentless communicators. I've stopped valuing the former and started valuing the later.

Germany has a job seeker visa through which you can come and search for job in Germany. I think you need atleast 5 years of experience to get that. There are other ways to come as well( like having a job offer). I mentioned this in particular to indicate there is no age cutoff, since by the time you have 5 years of experience you are in your late twenties.

Hey that main website is cool! [1]

I literally just ordered a GoPro Fusion last night so that I can create 3D captures of hiking trails using photogrammetry. I will then use the 3D trail models for reinforcement learning for my off road robot. [2]

The basic pipeline is images to Meshroom (perhaps with pre-processing since Meshroom doesn't seem to support 360 cameras), then instant-meshes to reduce the poly count of the mesh, Blender to map the texture on to the new low poly mesh, save as .glb file in Blender, then open in habitat-sim for machine learning. Blender was the hardest part to learn, but tutorials on youtube walk through the whole process.

Interestingly the GoPro Fusion is pretty cheap now, as GoPro has a new model which is apparently not much of an improvement. So while the new model is $499, the Fusion is currently $179 on Amazon.

Previously I have tried photogrammetry of trails with cell phone video. It works really well but the narrow field of view of the cell phone camera compared to the whole 360 degree scene means the resulting 3D reconstruction has lots of holes, and the model is only well reconstructed immediately around the trail - wider terrain is missed.

The 360 camera captures all angles, front and back, sides and top. It should make for some fun immersive video to throw on youtube but it will also be great for photogrammetry. I found this research paper [3] which supports my thinking that 360 cameras are useful for photogrammetry.

Are humans AGI? They kill 35k on US roads alone each year. If Level 5 means 0 deaths per year, then it will never happen until the singularity. It is quite possible America's safety first attidue will let 35k people die a year because automatic cars would kill hundreds per year, but I hope not.
Yes people use gold. It's an incredibly popular material for jewelry.
Imagine a world where only 1% of population is ever leaving homes and 99% is forever chained to their desks.

It would seem that it would be enough for only that 1% of population to build immunity to largely stop transmission of the virus. Of course, it would still be possible for somebody to move the virus from home to home without getting infected, but the idea is that you will not get a pandemic from that because it would not be enough to sustain it.

The whole premise of article is that the population is not homogenous and different people are responsible for transporting viruses in different way. If a small proportion of population that is outsize contribution into transmission gets immunity, then the entire population benefits much more than if these people were part of completely homogenous population described by simple equations.
QoL has grown with GDP though, even for the below-middle-class. Hard to find even a low-income household without a microwave and a fridge today.
The reference is to all the spring break parties taking place two months ago https://www.local10.com/news/local/2020/03/14/south-florida-...

Arguably, most of the party-goers were out-of-state, but it also would've been relatively easy for authorities to link a spike in deaths to those events. So far we have not seen the spike take place.
And to minimize the exposure risk to our boys in blue, we'll put ED-209s on every street corner.
They have established objective metrics to use in determining when to loosen restrictions, and there are also procedures in place for partial reopening of restaurants, recreation areas, etc. Your questions are answered in the article.
I picked up a copy of Dune at the Harvard Coop as a teenager and I was amazed. I learned to develop an inner dialog of reasoning. It also started me thinking in terms of systems and the importance of efficiency. Loved it.
Senses are for collecting sense data, emotions are a state of being they are experienced in real-time and can never symbolized or described. You cannot tell someone what happiness is they ave to experience it for themselves. Sensed data can be encoded in language/symbolically for example we can describe music with music notation.
organice is, like most OSS we work on[1], relased under a free license. organice itself is relased under the AGPL[2] To me personally, this is very important. We try do do some other related work as well. For example we co-hosted the EmacsConf 2019[3] and regularly mentor at other hackathons[4,5] which value FOSS.

Is physicalism the problem? My understanding is that physicalism is still in good standing – at least when it comes to the conscious experience of qualia. (The concept-of-self encoding obviously doesn't require a physical substrate.)

How did these work? The article says you could ssh into them, so they all had their own RAM and ran their own individual os? I don't think the CPUs were multi socket capable.

How did they boot? Network? So the pcie connection was essentially just for networking?
How do you determine approval rating? The reality is that only a small percentage of the public has any idea of whom any public servant is outside of their leader.

And at that point it's easily gamed, and leads to ineffective short termist planning by the public servant.

This is a terrible idea that would be hugely damaging to the public.
I will check regarding artifact. Also someone else mentioned to add random rotational tilt per page to ensure it looks more "legit"
Can you encode the state for '1 + 1 = 2' directly into your mind? How about the state for knowing the solution to the P=NP problem? It is clear that these states exist, but that doesn't mean we have the physical ability to put our brains in them directly. Why would happiness be any different?

Not to mention, there are people who at least claim they can feel at least certain emotions, such as serenity, regardless of the situation that they are in. It may be that with enough study, we ask could actually learn of a way to feel happiness regardless of external context.
That sounds good, but how does it play out? We could maybe afford to pay everyone $10K/y for a few years, especially now that we're printing money like crazy. And we'd just let companies go bankrupt and the economy as we know it seize tight.

Businesses would generally be wiped out, and your mom-and-pop outfits that worked their entire lives to build something would be on the dole like the rest of us. With the private economy gone, the government could run "essential" industries. It could probably do an okay job of allocating talent, I guess.

It's kind of like turning a firehose on an overheating server rack. It might work...
Why not deleting the file after 1 download?
It would take a heart of stone not to smile at the thought of all those employers that stubbornly refused to contemplate WFH suddenly discovering that they had no other choice. My hope is this turns into a wider trend, and those that want to be are allowed to be unshackled from the office for good.
>I personally think that if you cannot convey your ideas in simple language you have failed at communication

Not everything can be explained using simple language. Try explaining monads in simple language, or ontology.

Alas it is not
I really can't understand this mindset, it views the system that we have as fundamentally meritocratic and that only hard work matters. This is demonstrably false with a cursory review of how our (the US) education system, economy, and geographic distributions reward and punish people.

One of the concerns I have is that there is a correlation between temperature and soil biology that appears to disfavor micorhyzzal symbiosis in warmer, wetter situations.

And while building these communities can sink carbon and make for more resilient temperate forests, doing so may take more and more effort over time, or become infeasible in some areas.
I recently read Netflix's culture doc, and they outright said they treat employees like a sports team - welcome to the team, perform at your best, you may get benched, you may get cut. There's no shame in getting cut, and you should be proud that you had the talent to perform at our level for the time you did.

My main takeaway was: fair enough, and when can I get into that interview pipeline.

I want to be on a meat-eating, high performing team with comp to match, and I don't want much more. I think most in the industry are the same.
This was a lot lighter in content than I expected it to be.

Having survived one rewrite, I'll say that you're sure to drastically underestimate two things: how long it will take, and how many bugs there will be when you're done.
this is a poorly thought article and full of strawmen

Inequality between White collar work and blue collar work has existed for centuries and there is no evidence that remote work is making it either better or worse. Their interpretation of their graph is a strawman: office work is obviously easier to remotize.

Inequality stems from supply/demand . There are non-remote workers on the high end of the spectrum (doctors, athletes etc) and there is a vast crowd of low paid workers that work remotely (freelancers, support phone centers etc). The fact that globalization increasing inequality is not news but, if anything, it affects remote workers more.

Remote workers are also facing inequality, e.g. they are paid less if they live outside the bay area.

If anything, by reducing the disparities in cost of living and housing everywhere, remote work is probably helping to reduce overall inequality. It will also move businesses (and their blue collar workers) away from traffic-heavy city centers and closer to where the remote workers are (their homes).

Remote work can also be more costly in many ways: e.g. heating and A/C for houses is costlier than heating a shared office building during work hours. Personally, i spend more on food because i have no office cafeteria nearby. The benefits are mostly in quality of life and in having control of your life.
I've sent an email to Elastic Email. Thanks for the heads up.
I dunno. People in West LA already seem to be complying poorly.

There are a lot of entitled people around here, and a lot of folks doing plague cosplay (wearing a mask around their neck like a talisman, gathering but moving to "safe" distance when other people draw close, etc.)
They are right to be afraid, but can balance risk and reward and not paralyzed by the fact someone will get killed.
Did you read the article? Because your concerns are addressed. The beaches are planned to reopen soon, and there are procedures in place for partial reopening of some businesses.
“its on the governments to provide the safety net until we have everything under control.“

There are limits to this and the burden is distributed very unevenly. If you have a spa, your business is taking a big hit , but the landlord is not required to stop asking for rent. We would have to switch the whole economy to a non profit model, otherwise the lucky ones make out like bandits and others are being driven out of business.
They aren’t using HBM they are using DDR4 SODIMMs.

They don’t present themselves as CPUs to the host, they run a self contained Linux image the only thing that is accessible to the host is the streaming interface.
A nitpick, but I fear that we're not boosting the healthcare capacity... whether due to healthcare still being profit-seeking here, or due to the Fed Govt being completely inept.

In which case it's easy to feel like it's all for nothing.

I personally still support it but I can see why people are frustrated, and I think as this goes on you can't just extend it without some really clear and transparent communication.
A one- or two-line description would be enough. Think of the old "Who What Where When Why How" journalism questions, eh? (You could ask the bloggers for a burb, or permission to quote their own self-description.)

The typical default order would be by alphabetically by title. If you don't want to add sorting yet that's what I would expect. Other sorts would be name of author, frequency, most recent post, main theme (if applicable.)

> "pagination works better for SEO purposes"

I'm sure it does, but as a user I don't care. Whom do you serve?

If your site ranks higher than some other site with a superior UI isn't that overall a failure of the system?

The best option would be to provide both options: paginate by default and have a switch to toggle it to all-on-one-page, eh?

I think you did a good job in general, it just needs a little polish to relly "pop". Cheers!
Nobody is sure how it transmits. But if it's airborne, moving air and sunlight are certainly going to make gathering at a beach much safer than gathering inside an office building.

Handwashing stations and ULPA filters in HVAC systems set to renew the air x times more often I think will end up being the long term solution, along with a persistent disease which is just a part of life. The masks seem to just be a joke made up by people wanting to do something.
I think your interpretation is more telling of your own worldview than the parent. It had never occurred to me that such a failure mode could happen, and I thought it was a good story to share. It seems like something that may have been caught had a crematorium management system been in place.

The number of servers that are used for basic filesharing and Domain authentication are dwarfed by the number of servers used for applications and databases.

Windows can also manage linux authentication, but likewise is missing parts for advanced usage.
Right tool for the job. Also Windows finally has a terminal and ssh, so it is tolerable.
> random inputs would mean we have free will and random inputs are assured by, for example, chaotic variations in the weather

Randomness would not equate to free-will, it'd be the opposite, since it would mean one's choices are completely disconnected from reality rather than a reflection of one's mental state and environmental circumstances.

In fact, a deterministic perspective is the only one where the idea of free will approaches coherency since it mandates that the actions of the individual are a function of who they are. If one repeats the scenario exactly, a person with free will must always make the same choice because if they didn't it would mean that their "will" is irrelevant with respect to what actually transpires in reality.
The robot doesn’t need to see it if it has the plans in it’s head.

In the case of such poor liquidity why should we assume the ETF value should rise to meet the NAV rather than the NAV lower to meet the ETF value? I understand the bonds are the underlying here, but if the ETF is more liquid wouldn't its value be closer to gospel?

Is this project different in some way from many already existing solutions that do the same?

I like that it is open source and in theory possible to self host since I really wouldn't want to upload my documents anywhere.

I would really like to know if a similar solution exists that is very easy to run locally or if it runs in the browser it does everything client-side?

> Isn't the E.U. the only union and non-country to have a singular currency?

No, it isn't. In Africa, there is the West African CFA Franc issued by the West African Economic and Monetary Union, and the Central African CFA Franc issued by the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa – both are legacies of French colonialism, in which newly independent states decided to keep the common currency they had under the French colonial empire.

In the Caribbean, there is the East Caribbean Dollar, issued by the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States. It is used by independent states that were former British colonies, and also by two British overseas territories. Like the CFA Francs, it is a case of newly independent states choosing to retain the common currency they had under British rule.

The idea of a common currency isn't that new. France, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland and Greece had a common currency between 1865 and 1927 (the Latin Monetary Union). Similarly, Sweden, Denmark and Norway had a common currency between 1873 and 1905 (the Scandinavian Monetary Union.)
I think the GP meant SMB = "small and medium-sized business" rather than SMB = Server Message Block (the Windows file-sharing protocol)
It is not the caste based discrimination like you might intuitively perceive.

In history there was a caste system that led to systemic deprivation of education and opportunity to underprivileged castes. So India (few decades back) came up with a reservation system so that people belonging to those castes could get jobs/education/opportunities.

In today's times it's scale is more like racism that you would find in most developed nations.

However after achieving the basic purpose, the reservation system based on caste was never withdrawn. Lots of political parties invested into those vote banks.

Nowadays, the situation is such that many people who get admissions based on the reservation policy are from acceptably well off educated families. There are many people who are relatively poor and financially underprivileged but belong to the upper caste and they cannot get any benefits.

On 3/14 we had about 3k COVID-19 cases in the US. By the end of April, we had about 200k. Our contact tracing efforts at the time (and now) likely aren't sufficient to tie specific cases back to Florida's spring break, but it's unlikely to have helped.

Life for the below-middle-class is way better than before. Maternal mortality, infant mortality, calories consumed, appliances in the home, life expectancy all trending in the right direction. Life now for the average American is stupendously better than half a century ago. Over the last twenty years (over which the ATUS was active), time spent sleeping, time spent on leisure, and percent of people engaged in sports and recreation each day are also trending well.

I don't care if I make a dollar and you make a billion if one dollar will provide for my entire life, and if that life is pleasant in an absolute sense.
