He’s been denied accreditation for his business to resell certain domains, not kicked off the internet.

Would it not be reasonable for, e.g. a publicly owned national electricity grid to refuse to accredit a new energy business which is run by someone who previously published “how to circumvent your electricity meter”? I don’t even know if such a thing would be illegal to publish, but even if it isn’t illegal, I don’t think it’s unreasonable for accreditation to be refused.

> really only a matter of how you ensure your chain can't be attacked

The consensus mechanism serves two distinct purposes. The first is to keep global monotonic time (which is what you call "protect from attacks"). The second is as an inflation protocol. Any time you create value where there previously wasn't you have inflation.

That's not a good mental model for adverse actors in blockchain systems. Failed attacks are normally not published, so they won't exist unless the conditions are right.

I'm a heavy user of Lambda. Our primary stack is Heroku+Rails, but one of our workflows allows students to upload DOCX files where we do some heavy processing (2-3 seconds per file). This wasn't a great fit for Rails, fabulous fit for serverless.

When camels were implicated as a MERS reservoir, one indeed did see offensive comments on social media about traditional Middle Eastern culture or the warped stereotypes based thereupon.

If we didn’t hear more of that talk, and it eventually died out, that is only because MERS never managed to spread beyond a limited part of the Middle East, unlike COVID.

I didn't do any specific training nor did I plan to lucid dream, it just happened at a point in my life when I meditated a lot. The realisation, ie. that you are asleep and dreaming but aware, is rather special and you can choose to do whatever you like with it. I had some pretty wild experiences "sitting down and meditating" in my lucid dream :) Sadly these days I don't meditate much and I did not have lucid dreams for a while.
Wait, why does the goggles look like VR goggles, but the drone only has 1 camera? Wouldn't this FPV system be way more awesome with binocular vision and head tracking?

Eh. Most Excel horror stories have to do with putting it "into production". Excel is really a prototyping tool -- and it has enabled countless millions upon millions that were just not going to read SICP (and get all stakeholders to read SICP) to attack business problems.

Now, if programmers are unable to understand the logic behind Excel models to "productionize it", then we have a problem with the education of programmers.

The problem is that, as far as we can tell, they're not self-aware. They have no concept of "captivity". Their life is their life; they don't have hopes, dreams, or desires. They eat, shit, and fuck. That's all they do in the wild, that's all they do in captivity.

The beauty of being human is that we are not controlled by our instincts. We have meta-cognition, which therefore makes us distinct from all other animals. This is why the vast majority of the earth's population agrees that killing a human and killing an animal are very different things.

That doesn't matter, what matter is demand for housing going up, which it does because due to net inflow, there is still a growing population; plus households get smaller (more people not partnering up or at least not living together, more divorces); and housing supply is geographically concentrated, those that are new to the EU don't want to live in the countryside of Romania or even the countryside of Germany, they want to live in or near cities, where everybody else also wants to live (and for the same reasons).

With atmospheric pressure less than 1% of Earth's, there would be virtually no sound. Sound travels as vibrations between air molecules. If you're hearing sound on Mars then you're not on Mars.

With 100x thinner air, the air molecules would not even be close enough to forward such vibrations. You wouldn't be able to hear a gunshot a few feet away.

The fact that NASA would provide any sound at all just demonstrates this is all a staged fakery, being done here on earth with a bit of augmented virtual reality to spice up the film. Since sound doesn't travel in 1% atmosphere the way it does in real earth atmosphere, you should hear virtually nothing.

This whole affair is a Hollywood sci-fi production being sold to you as science. You want so deeply for it to be real that cognitive dissonance and Dunning Kreuger will likely cause you to have a visceral reaction to my remarks. That's OK.

Effectively, every "knob" your model has is a major point against the model, but because people don't really get that (it's another "Linda is a bank teller and is active in the feminist movement" instance) they tend to overcomplicate their models compared to the amount of validation they've performed on the model.

An alternative to putting nearly all the weight on a single complicated model created ex nihilo is to have some reasonable "zero information" prior distribution over models (weighted by complexity) where, because rules-of-thumb are very simple models, those simple models dominate. In fact, the alternative offered is itself a simple rule-of-thumb approach to this, basically saying that the more complicated models can be almost entirely neglected, and so you can really just do an even split over rules-of-thumb and still outperform any model that naïvely tries to “know best” by accounting for everything up front.

In short, it's really fucking hard to properly validate that a model applies to reality, and until you appreciate just how hard it is, you're much better off radically biased towards simplicity.

Show HN: Using GPT-3 style models to Remember Everything

Printing Paper and transporting it every day to you is costly. And back then, content was generally more expensive, because there was no elaborated online-crowd who delivered you half of your content for free. Today you have wikipedia, reddit, google, twitter, e-mail and many more which allow you to research many stuff from home. Back in the days you were forced to go around physically, talk to people face to face, visit libraries, maintain your own library. That was far more expensive than what you can do today.

At the same time, because of the high quality free knowledge we have today, you can externalize knowledge and let people research it themself if they wanne know, and get away with lower quality of writing, meaning you can do it faster and need less people to pay. Meaning you can offer a lower price, because it's neccessary to compete in a world of massivly free information.
It's concerning that you aren't aware that the largest segment of US crops is grown for animal feed. I have to wonder what you think feedlot animals eat when you present this sort of dichotomy.

Hi HN,

We generally forget 95%+ of what we learn [1]. At Save All though we believe it doesn’t need to be like this and our mission is to help people remember everything.

After telling us what you want to remember, we use GPT-3 like technologies to generate multiple choice quizzes that test you in the right way at the right time to get the information into your long-term memory and keep it there.

The product uses spaced repetition [2] and has some similarities with anki and the main following differences:

- We will ask you about your cards in many different ways rather than only 1 way (this is better for memory)

- Question types are designed so that we can verify whether you got it right or not without you needing to tell us

- This in-built “verifiability” allows us to make remembering everything feel a lot more like a game and less like a chore

- It’s easier to create cards, just type in statements you want to remember and press enter, no need to create both the front & back of cards

Try it out at https://www.saveall.ai and watch this video to learn more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTYVRfJXKVs

We’re just getting started and are here for feedback so please also comment below or email us (petros@saveall.ai) with any thoughts on how we can improve the product

>Wait, why does the goggles look like VR goggles, but the drone only has 1 camera?

Funny, I was thinking the same when I watched the video. The optimist in me hopes there's a pair of lower-res stereo cameras located somewhere near the main camera (the one we can see) being specifically for shooting video? The way you described it is exactly how I thought it operated until I got further into the video. It's a great step forward in drones with added range, batter, etc, but the whole "first-person VR" shtick feels like it was only half-thought out and never changed during the design/implementation

It's a theory for why many non-CPI assets are inflating in price and it has been discussed ad nauseum since March.

One group (including the Fed) points at CPI and PCE and says there is no inflation, in fact they want some inflation but can't get it.

The other group says there is inflation but it is 'asset inflation' causing things like real estate, healthcare, education, trading cards, classic cars, crypto, etc to sky rocket.

And then you have gold bugs and contrarians like Mike Burry talking about Weimar 2.0 hyperinflation coming.

You have to go to St Louis FRED data and decide for yourself. Look at M1 and M2 supply, velocity etc. Commodities have been on a tear for 6 months after a 12 year bear run.

Saw this on techmeme.com and it was a new take to me, figured HN might want to see this too.

The case in TFA, Marsh, feels like it is relevant here. It feels like a scaled up version of "your rights are absolute right to the point that they infringe on someone else's".

So, Facebook or Titter or Parler or Gab can use their private platforms to regulate what is said there, but this power grows weaker in porportion to the number of people that are on the platform (some probably due to network effects).

If Marsh were applied now, maybe FB etc at that scale could be an ungovernable mess, forcing them to go back to a chronological only listing of your friends' posts. Or maybe they split into Geocities-style separate communities with federated xmpp messaging?

So far, I don't have answers, just feelings.
Everybody is tired of it. Except for the central bank that is causing it. As soon as central banks stop printing money the whole crypto verse will die like a fad. But so will your passive investments like ETFs. That can't happen therefore the printing continues.
I started using Impossible in any beef recipe which highly seasons or sauces the meat, and can't tell the difference. Or don't care enough about the difference. Talking hamburger helpers, manwhiches, casseroles, that sort of thing.

The price of Impossible and Beyond per pound is still higher than real beef, probably due to government subsidies artificially reducing the cost of beef. Once the equation flips I expect just about every fast food menu item, freezer food, and quick prep box to switch to these new vegetable meats.

There is a snowball effect happening. More and more places and products are offering a meat alternative because Impossible and Beyond are 1:1 recipe substitutes. This brings the cost down as manufacturing processes can scale up. Confidence is growing and taste isn't suffering. Toward a vegetarian future, economics will succeed where ethics and wellness have failed.
