What is meant by physiologically the same? Because there is a lot of heterogeneity among neurons in the human brain, and there are definitely some macro-level differences between cortical regions that are innate (i.e. happen even with sensory deprivation). So I'd honestly be very surprised if different cortical regions did not have some differences in gene expression patterns that are "hard coded". Which can affect neural dynamics in a subtle way. Determining how much that matters for this hypothesis would require a probably impossible experiment though.

FWIW there definitely was an old paper where the animal model (IIRC a ferret?) was deafened and had its visual cortex ablated, and then they wired the lower level visual regions to the auditory cortex, quite early in development. The animal could sort of see, and the auditory cortex had developed a bunch of visual cortex like properties, which is pretty awesome. But at the same time it was certainly not the same thing as using the visual cortex to do so, if you look at the actual behavior the animal had clear deficits in its visual capabilities. Of course that is far from a perfect version of the experiment being described though.

Anyway, I read that a long while ago but here is a link to a broader review written by the researcher that did that work, in case anyone is interested in digging further: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16272112/
If I had a Bitcoin for every time some crypto-gambler dropped this line on the Internet, I would have more than the maximum number of Bitcoins that will ever be minted.

Everyone has a story about how Bitcoin could have made them a billionaire. Only like 2 people actually got that rich.

You folks are playing the lottery. If you win, good for you, but everyone not gambling is still doing better than everyone gambling.
I'd have to double check but I think I had to tweak some things regarding caldav (but it may have been years ago).
It's not just the direct market impact from the size of the trade, but the signal to the market of yet another big company getting involved which causes others to initiate a trade.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a one sentence news story before.
Yea I agree right now.

But even showing a few newbie friends how I could see their balance and transactions after they sent me BTC or shared their address with me, baffled them, they couldn’t believe it.

People will start to care as they become extorted, or embarrassed. Privacy is a fundamental requirement of good money.

I think people will learn this over time and gravitate towards a better money for the internet.
Quantum computing gives near infinite parallelization. It does not solve/break serialized equations/problems.
I always do a file by file sweep of my merge requests on gitlab before sending them to peer review. Usually it only finds commented code or console logs but its worth it and pretty fast to do a final check.
Ask HN: What podcasts do you listen to?
I wonder if companies are viewing bitcoin in a similar way as currencies? I don't know how common this is in the US but in Europe specifically Switzerland larger companies buy and hold Euros and Dollars to deal with currency fluctuations.

Maybe its just speculating that bitcoin will bring in money. It worked for Tesla.
> Apple has gone in the direction of net appliances

I agree that, with "Apple Silicon", they have left behind anything that could reasonably be traced back to the "openness" of old desktop computers.

New Apple systems are locked down from the silicon up, and you only get to do what Apple lets you do. As the Star Wars quote goes, "Pray I do not alter [the deal] further".

Sure, some people have managed to boot Linux on the ARM cores of the M1, but it's about as useful as pitching a tent in a corner of a stadium and declaring it useable housing. There is so much on the SoC that's closed and out of reach that I can only see the effort as misguided.
Just like every other VC, YC's successes are a small fraction of the investments they make. You can scroll through HN every day and see tons of YC startups no one has ever heard of/will hear of looking for engineers, launching...

> It would be nice to see how you arrived at this conclusion.

Demo days.

If a great team is skipping YC, it's safe to assume they know what they are doing.
> That said, students and parents have alternatives - e.g., two years of community college and then transfer for two more years where a degree would have more prestige

Non-public prestige schools aren't particularly favorable to transfers generally or CC transfers particularly, finding a community college with programs in a given field that would support transfer to a prestige school is difficult, and CCs aren't really geared to nonlocal students and often the surrounding community is not student supportive the way university towns can be. CCs do save on tuition and registration fees, but often don't save on lab fees, books, and living expenses, and rarely have any significant campus-based aid, which can make them more expensive for some students than “prestige” universities.

They would just switch to another algorithm. Sad for all the miners who bought ASICs, doesn't change a thing for all users and investors. It would just be a hard-fork. It would not be the first one, and it would very likely be quite a consensual one, since no user wants their transactions to be unsecured.

I really wish people would research a bit more before posting these questions here. The quantum computing argument has been asked a thousands times before, it was first seen shortly after the bitcoin paper was published, it has been answered and re-answered and re-answered so many times, everywhere. And yet here we are filling the internet with more and more copies...
Well, the OpenWorm project [1] estimates to be about 20-30% into simulating the 302 neurons and 95 muscle cells of Caenorhabditis elegans. The human brain has over 86000000000 neurons (about 300 million times more than the worm). I'd say we're about 0% into simulating (thus understanding) that. Mind you previous generation computers (32-bit) couldn't even count that high.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenWorm
So very strange to invest so heavily in Bitcoin a highly volatile crypto at its peak. Not to mention an old generation crypto with dubious value on the face of 3rd generation crypto that does not damage the environment and does not have the same scaling issues. It's like considering some old tech as which has dubious value just because it was invented first. Like overvaluing a gas car when an electric exists and is the wave of the future. What do these companies know that we plebs don't.
Hey thanks for replying and massive congrats on the little guy!

Weird how similar that was to me. Wonder how many other people there are like this where just that bit of advice + minor action could have made such a big difference to their lives instead of being told there’s nothing they can do.

I think there is a lack of consideration of the alternative timeline without colonialism. Yes, it was brutal and many inhumane events occurred, but the assumption is that they would have arrived where we are now with a peaceful democracy and unified nation.

There are many other scenarios that could have played out.

The transference of knowledge and institutions is undervalued.

I think the threat would be less from billionaires and big companies. Their fortunes get disrupted, accumulated and lost all the time. If such a threat to those researchers exists, it is likely from intelligence agencies around the world.
I was half waiting for this response. I don't think so. There is a difference between being an asshole who abuses and harasses other people and being a person who is respectful but able to improvise guerilla tactics when it comes to dealing with such people. There IS a difference between using violence for offense and for defense.

You have to realize that no law, no police will protect you against people who have no consideration for their fellow citizens. There is only suffering, fleeing or fighting back - that's it. Make your choice.
Look up the term "fork" in the context of cryptocurrencies. It will answer all your questions and you will save yourself a lot of brain cycles.
>The crux with git is that you really do have to learn it in depth

You don't though. I was using git for years at a 2 developer shop and I don't think I used anything but commit, pull, push, add. It was very trivial, never even made a branch.

Then when I moved to a bigger place I had to learn about cherry-pick, revert, reset, bisect, checkout, etc but every single one of those things I learned was immensely useful.
The page linked says "space-separated list of default DNS servers". From this I would assume that this is just an option one could simply overwrite by using a non-default configuration. That doesn't seem so bad, however I could also be misunderstanding and in order to disable these servers one would need to patch the source code like you imply. Do you have a more specific source that would answer this question?

Edit: from the other comments in this thread it seems like it it is a build time option
I'm surprised to see so much negativity in regards to these headlines about Bitcoin. I expect to see more and more companies doing the same and diversifying their holdings partially away from the USD.
Your impression is correct.

When the Zig compiler is asked to produce an executable, using only .zig source code, it is in full control of the entire compilation process, frontend to backend, so it can make decisions that ease the requirements of its linker, in order to facilitate incremental compilation and linking. For example, when linking pure Zig projects, there are no relocations; the code is generated directly in place in the final executable, almost as if there is no linker step. However, when asked to link against third party objects or static libraries, Zig must compromise some of these advantages. Currently, in this situation, Zig will fall back to doing the incremental compilation of .zig code into an object file, and then invoke LLD (via the zig executable invoking itself as a child process) to link the objects together. As the Zig self-hosted linker gains functionality, this fallback will happen less often; instead the compromise will be in the code paths taken in the linker, based on what assumptions it can make about the linking requirements that are required for a given job. The long term plan is to eliminate the dependency on LLD altogether.

then I read:

She suggested a change to the ownership structure of the
company that would reflect their contributions, according
to a statement she gave to board directors. The stock
options that had already vested were theirs to keep, but
going forward, the split would go from 50/50 to 65/35.

Who is the moron who gave the CEO advice to stab their
cofounder in the back for 30% more equity? As the saying
goes "bears and bulls make money. pigs get slaughtered."

You should found a company with people you think would make
the world better if they got rich. And then celebrate when
you all get rich together.

Sad situation and I hope they come to their senses, have a beer and focus on more important things.
I use Nextcloud for almost all the stuff I do in day to day life. I run it in docker swarm mode on a 5yr old pc running Debian @home. Freemyip for updating my dynamic IP address

What I use it for ?
1. Notes (Use FSnotes and sync md files)
2. Keypassxc for passwords (sync it using Nextcloud)
3. Photos upload (From Amazon & Google)
4. My recordings & videos
5. Documents (Moved from G Drive)
6. Bookmarks

Where I would like to see improvements?
Photos - badly want this to be usable on mobile phones

I am happy overall with Nextcloud. The only time I screwed up is when I didn't know about the upgrade process. Tried moving from 18→20 and totally gone wrong.
What is the actual purpose of buying BTC? Tesla also bought some recently, IIRC. I assume that large publicly-traded companies aren't doing this for the memes, and it seems tangential to their actual businesses. Do they also trade other equities/assets?
Not necessarily a technology solution—more common sense than anything-but I have learned that the more complicating factors there are, the more likely it is that there will be a serious health challenge, ie. the risk of serious health issue increases. There could be a “risk” score based on a comprehensive set of factors, measured in a variety of ways (eg. sensors, surveys, etc.) to help avoid a medical emergency.
Is it easy to convert a billion for a hundred million of btc to cash as it is to buy a stock? I don't think this is it or usd or euro.
Personally I agree. It's a signal that a company is run by people whose values are fundamentally different than mine.

I've bought a Tesla in the past and was mostly happy with it, but I'll never get another one. (I'm sure they won't miss my business, as Musk's antics are presumably gaining them many enthusiastic customers. Still, buying elsewhere is the only power we customers have.)

There sure is a lot of negativity for what seems like a good feature.
Your characterization is not realistic. Sure if you hire an ivy league grad with a degree in french literature they may not be much of a programmer. If you hire one with a CS degree they will probably be decent - at least at the higher end of US colleges.

The idea that the ivy league is swimming with under-performing people who are only there because of wealth and connections just isn't true.

What is closer to truth - there are lots of people there who are a bit above average capability, very good preparation, and also have family money and/or connections.

In a truly broad, merit only based admissions process most of these people wouldn't make the cut. But it's not because they are weak students, rather because the number of slots in ivy is a small number compared to the total number of strong potential students in the country if you looked really hard.
> The solution is to foster an appreciation of the values of freedom and independence in the population

This is almost entirely heritable, and can only be "fostered" through demographic management.
The violent attack on the capitol was the result of fake news media without anyone ever inciting violence. They simply need to repeat over and over that the election was stolen and that caused the violence and people died.

Incorrectly yelling Fire in a crowded theater is illegal and no one is inciting violence in that situation either. There are many commonalities between broadcasting fake news for profit and propaganda, and incorrectly yelling fire in a crowd. Both end up resulting in public safety hazards.

It is a difficult problem to deal with because there is always the possibility of corruption and a reduction in genuine free speech when there is regulation involved. But it is a problem that has to be solved.

It is also no longer social media only, it is Fox, OANN, NewsMax, Sinclair, etc that are increasingly filling up air time with lies solely to make a buck.
Wow not a crypto founder himself. He wouldn’t have a conflict of interest would he?
There's a gradation in carelessness and selfishness, though...
Regular users are likely to spend most of digital lives on a device fully controlled by Google, I doubt that a couple of requests to 8.8.8.8 will be a significant compromise to their privacy (how do they know that whatever they get from their provider is better by the way?).

My main point here is just that open source maintainers don't owe humanity anything - they already gave it a lot of their time. If people strongly disagree with some design decisions - and it's not a backdoor or something, it's a pretty innocent design decision to rely on a highly available DNS server as a last back up - open source gives them a lot of opportunities to do their own thing.
That's just not correct. There are plenty of crypto algorithms already, including hash functions, that are designed to be resistant/resilient against a functional quantum computer. A PoW scheme can use any (well, at the very least many) of them.

> Isn't it a conflict of interest for Dorsey to make such a market moving purchase, as an agent of Square, in an asset that he is personally invested in? I guess we'll have to wait and see the rationale of the purchase. If it's to facilitate payments on their platform, then no biggie.

No, and Jack is a big proponent of Bitcoin and has offered buying/selling via CASH. He has been saying he's maxed out cash app's buying service since it's inception in 2018ish (?) with no repercussions.

Furthermore, their purchase/holdings could represent the amount outstanding Square has to have as reserves after daily operations--Square is CASH's parent company, which allows for the buying and selling of Bitcoin, not some IOU like Paypal.

I think they may be finally rolling out Bitcoin acceptances via the Square POS system, ideally with LN (something Jack has financed in the past). Something I wish we had during the pandemic to allow small businesses to invest in and convert to just keep the lights on, instead most got wiped out from dealing with fiat and may never come back again. .

I just hope you guys on HN start to realize the 2 biggest names in Fintech are already Bitcoiners, Jack has been for some time but Elon (who was arguably more important than Thiel, who also has Bitcoin investments, in making Paypal) has only recently made it public, but was also at one time regarded as potential person for who was 'Satoshi' for a reason. IN addition to the Worlds richest person, or was until the Tesla stock dip this week.

The SEC should have gone after Citadel, Melvin, Robinhood, etc... instead they had what even one politician said was 'political theater,' but they didn't and instead they go after things that change the status quo, which this may be... or until the status quo has adopted it in a way that it's beneficial to them, and while it we (bitcoiners) would be remiss to say we built this architecture for them, we knew one day they would of out of self-interest join.

That's where are now. I'm not entirely convinced it's not them lowering the price to get a better buy in position, both Microstrategy and Tesla have enough to make the market move in that direction. I'm just thankful they did and I got to buy more on the way down.

I actually wonder if Coinbase offers this as a service, as in you pay Coinbase XX million for services rendered and they start dumping coins on the market to help its high net worth buyers buy billions worth of bitcoin via OTC at a lower price. But this is just unsubstantiated conjecture on my part, though not entirely impossible. Then blame Kraken as plausible deniability and rinse and repeat.

Edit: typical HN downvote brigade... I expected more from this place, and felt that people would challenge the idea, not the message/messenger.
Take the politics out of it — unaccountable, unquestioned mass communication is almost always bad.

Mass media needs the fairness doctrine back to take the carnival show out of the news. Social media is no exception.

The current model basically neuters editorial discretion and creates a “Team A” vs “Team B” environment that is bad for everyone. These problems started in niche mediums like talk radio and eventually locked in because it’s an easy way to make money. The problem is it’s a race to the bottom, and outlets like OANN, RT, etc are really self-sustaining propaganda outlets. The NY Post has an editorial voice but their news product isn’t fiction.

On the internet, if you give Facebook, Google, etc rules, they will develop algorithms to comply. IMO, regulation in the space would improve the quality of engagement and make them money. P&G won’t buy ads associated with flat earth people, and they pay more than the gold coin, prostate pills, crazy pillow people, etc.

Agreed, I once worked at a place that used saltstack to manage rails servers and it would take me an entire day to set up a new server with the tools it needs and getting the app running. Now with docker its so trivial to get something running on the server and even multiple versions of ruby for different apps.
I can't make heads or tails of it either. Some people have been speculating that it's because they want to take payments in BTC, but I don't see building massive positions in it helps them facilitate that.
