> the NFT will be taken as the source of truth for representing the ownership of the claimed asset...

I simply can’t see how that is possible for digital assets you can copy and paste and have two copies of the original asset; it only works for physical assets where there can only be one copy of the asset, ever.

You’ve hit it on the head: what does it mean to own an image when ten other people also “own” a copy of it, and any of them can create more copies other people can “own”.

It’s meaningless, unless you assert ownership entitles you to additional legal rights beyond what the token conveys... and in which case, how the hell is that different from the same thing with no crypto involved?

"The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than to produce it"
Easy. The paragraphs that you have quoted does not say anything in particular but it is long and looks informative. That is bullshit.

I am living in America. That is a lie.
I still have some Corian pieces in the basement. Planned to use it for an iris keyboard case. Don't have the right now to get it into shape. Should maybe finally try to get it done. White Corian looks and feels very good. You can get scrap parts cheap on ebay.
Accounting for all the factors that need account is above my pay grade, so I'm not sure I can comment. Actual medical guidance is often considered more reliable than random internet advice.

That said...let me start with my premises. (1) I don't think risks are very high/unknown, and this point (2) but let's face it... an adhd regimen is an "uppers" regimen. So... my bias is moderacy. At the least, it encourages you to be specific in your aims. Are you trying to be more productive 9-5, minimize pathological behaviours, or are taking uppers to handle that 9th or 12th hour of work.
I'm not sure if/why they would be hand-assembled, as SMD pick & place machines exist for the lighting industry: https://youtu.be/Y45COU2LdXg

(Granted, these are not individually addressable, but that depends on the PCB.)
The only way I could get anything like deep work (and it was a much shallower version still) was to get up before the kids.

I used to be a big time night owl, with hours of productive coding possible after 11PM. After kids, that was impossible as you described. Now, I get up at 5:30-6:00 without an alarm after many years of dragging myself through the day after setting an alarm.

I found it much easier to drag myself through dinner, bath, and bedtime reading and then go to bed myself than to do all that and then try to do my computer work.
> The secondary markets in ticketing exist because there's an excess of demand

I don't buy "excess of demand" as being fundamental, though, except in the most technical sense. Imagine a super niche event, where the organizers know there are exactly 200 fans on the entire planet, and they offer that many tickets on sale. It still makes sense for a random scalper to take a loan, buy all 200 tickets, and resell them with a markup. It would still make sense if the organizers offered 300 tickets, i.e. greater supply than demand in terms of heacount! A scalper could still come ahead buying all 300, selling 200 at a high enough markup, and feed the remaining 100 tickets to a cat.

I think scalping (arbitrage) can occur in any situation in which the supplier isn't charging the maximum the market can bear (perhaps that's what is meant by "excess of demand" and I'm missing some technical definitions here).

>Switzerland is one of the most conservative places on Earth, at least culturally, and they have super strict rules on what you can build.

It doesn't matter what gets built, just that it gets built and that everyone gets a place to live in.

>The issue has little to do with NIMBYISM really. SF is a relatively popular destination, it's going to be really, really hard to keep people on the very bottom end of the scale in housing there.

If its a population destination and the rest of the country isn't then why would we tell people that they shouldn't come here? What about all those poor people who wouldn't be poor in SF?

>Vancouver 'built built built' and didn't make a dent in affordability - just the opposite, it's one of the most unnafordable places on earth.

Pretty much everyone I have heard talk about Vancouer is that Vancouver failed to build enough housing.
When it comes to in game items... why should one game honor another game's items? EVE Online and World of Warcraft dont exist in the same context. Even if you did it between Guild Wars, Elder Scrolls online and WoW, you still cant interchange the items due to stats, style and general game mechanics let alone the coding rework to have these items function the same way between games.

If there was an mmo framework that is shared between different games, I guess. But even then, why have a universal currency instead of just making it framework/platform specific? It's less work and is all handled in a fast centralized DB. At that why create the extra work of PoW or PoS or whatever algorithm solving process it'll use. currencyAmount += tradedAmount is way easier and makes more sense on the game dev side.

All these anti NFT arguments amount to is, "This is solutionism at its finest, but people already bought koolaid in bulk...so enjoy the show."
Xfdashboard 0.9.0 Is Released
Makes sense. I'm a CPA working in audit, and see a huge untapped market. The dirty secret of the audit industry is, at least outside Big 4, the way audit is done is largely the same as it would have been in the 80s - except with Excel. The procedures themselves are pretty similar to what can be done on paper before computers.

I think the issue is that there is not a lot of overlap between accountants and programmers, and some deeply ingrained beliefs in the accounting industry that are pushed by all training materials and university. Accounting is pretty conservative and expectations are always that things this year will be the same as last year. It might be just that the senior leadership came up through these processes so there's no expectation that things should change, since it is just the way it is.

I'm working on a startup that aims to automate sections of my job. It started as a realization that a lot of my job is grunt work that can be done by a machine, so I've created it. I already have a proof of concept program that I'm currently pushing towards becoming a product. It allows me to do better work quicker. I already have interest from my employer in paying for it since it proves it value quickly.
Use MakeUEF to convert from .wav to .uef, and you can then load that into a BBC Micro emulator.
If our body is not a part of our mind, then where does the mind exist? Are we just loops of code controlling a mechanism? I'm curious why you casually toss away the possibility that our bodies and self are one inseparable thing when no scientist has yet been able to even get close to separating the two via any means. Our brains work through physical means with electrical and chemical impulses, so why think that the mind itself doesn't extend away from the brain?
I’ll take a crack at it. Lying is when I say something and hope that you’ll believe what I’m saying, while bullshit is saying something hoping you’ll believe something else, either indirectly or transitively.

If I wanted to you to think I went to Stanford, I could say I went to Stanford, which is a lie, or talk about how much I enjoyed my time studying in the Palo Alto area, which is bullshitting.

I used to read the whole Bible, annually, with a group of friends in college. It took about 60-70 hours, reading out loud in shifts. Less of a time investment than many TV series.

As for understanding the culture you live in, the historical cultures documented certainly differ from modern ones. It still provides a basis for some interesting comparisons between the Biblical books and groups that claim heritage from them.
We have no evidence of that happening. Also Google themselves are on record saying that they don't use GA data for their search algorithm. I wrote a post on this topic: https://plausible.io/blog/google-analytics-seo

Maybe they consider lying as uniform pathology and with bullshitting they make an effort to categorise into "presuasive" and "evasive", but they could be as well defined other way around imho.
Shifting and other modifiers will work ok for USB HID keyboards. Layers, however, won't, so that's why you typically need to connect both halves of a split keyboard.

Also, having two "half-keyboards" takes up less space than using two full ones.

Re: the driver, it's not terribly hard to get the basics working (debouncing, matrix scanning, etc), but you'd probably be better off using QMK, since it's well tested and has pretty much every feature you might need, and then some.
> To me it would be conceptually simpler to consider one named variable as analogous to a memory location.

I don't think this will work well in practice. For example, would you want to declare a new variable every time an array is reallocated at a new memory location?

Reusing variables has both ergonomic (don't have to think about and manage new names) and conceptual (x may represent the same "thing", e.g., a reallocated array) values.

And in this particular case, the compiler will very helpfully tell you what went wrong, so it's not like a programmer will have to hunt down the bug for hours trying to understand what happened. The programmer has to learn this once. Can we then call this a complexity issue then?
This article linked above covers it well, highly recommended: https://taylorpearson.me/ergodicity/
> The results were clear: while those who scored highly for evasive bullshitting were also better at distinguishing between the genuinely profound and the pseudo-profound statements, the high persuasive bullshitters were poor at this. “Put another way, high persuasive bullshitters appear to interpret/mistake superficial profoundness as a signal of actual profoundness,” the team explains.

Interesting way of breaking down the categories. In my experience, the persuasive bullshitters might not even understand that they’re bullshitting. That is, they drink their own kool-aid, and therefore the line between their pseudo-profundity and reality starts to disappear.

Direct injection two-strokes like ETEC's avoid the burnt fuel in the exhaust by not injecting any fuel until the exhaust port is closed. They also typically have specific oil injection points reduce the amount of oil needed to be burned. They are generally as clean as modern 4-stroke engine.

A new medium requires reinventing and making explicit "real world" constructs. The article rejects anything worse than the best part of current systems without making clear the explicit tradeoffs. I could retort and point to companies actually using blockchain but you can easily argue flaws in their implementation. A "real world use case" is not well defined.

One nice thing about Julia is being able to use Unicode characters in variable/constant names, e.g. π and θ, instead of the usual pi and theta, in programs.
Your points are in stark contrast to the reality of the article. The Rust code produced is the one you have to be “on your toes” with due to unnecessary complexity, while Zig, despite the compile time features, is completely straightforward to understand. Maybe a second reading is due.

I really like the concept of it, but the naming is horribly bad, it's not a standard just a preference
Thinking about it more there may be something I don't get about it because if you think about concepts like "while lie" - it is category of a lie, however doesn't belong to bullshitting category, there is something about incentive that may be distingishing between two.
I don't quite get this post, it somehow seems to make a case FOR nfts and then try to make the point that these are not look likr stocks (which is rather obvious).

The whole point of nfts is to create uniqueness among endlessly duplicatable media, and provide the possibility for digital art to be handled like physical art.

Just like the Mona Lisa, you can look at endless photos of it without restriction, but only one person can actually own it - the article correctly points out that nfts enable the same principle to hold true for digital goods, and then goes on to argue that this is bad because doesn't provide any passive return to the collector, which holds true for physical collectibles all the same ...
Sometimes when reading comments below articles (about vaccination for instance) I wonder if it would be more effective to stoop down to the anti-vaxxers level instead of trying to refute their claims. Just pump out loads of exaggerated pro-vaxx stuff.
I might even go to say that persuasive bullshitters have something to gain from believing and taking in and joining the other persuasive bullshit. There is likely also lot of group dynamics in play here.

While evasive bullshit and outright lying is much more goal driven cover oneself and others bullshit is likely be harmful...

Private Contact Discovery Without Hardware Enclaves
Current instant messengers store the users’ phone book contacts typically unencrypted or hashed on a central server. In case of a server’s corruption, all contacts are either directly available in plaintext or can be unmasked using a simple dictionary attack. Signal uses hardware enclaves to mitigate their risk on the central server. A possible alternative to this could be to increase the complexity of the hashes through contact combinations.
(Ah, sorry, if it's about format strings, I know they're potentially dangerous. I think they're fine in practice though so long as you have compiler warnings for type mismatches and non-literal strings turned on.)
Because no single language can (nor should) be a good match for solving all types problems. For this reason it's better to be fluent in 5 (or so) small languages than one big language IMHO.
I think it has other uses, being able to attach visualizations to data processing code is very helpful especially if it's simple to just drop in something like a histogram. It would be even nicer to have a way to scrub through the processed items and see them displayed in an easy to read format on the screen as you do so. Cypress allows this to a degree by recording the visual state of a page as tests are run and lets you hover over the output and see the layout change as you scroll up and down.
Fewer symbols[1] “look” more readable at first glance (like dynamic languages), and more beginner friendly, but it also means there's less intent communicated and the reader needs to look for the information elsewhere: it's an eternal trade-off.

Also, Zig comptime is extremely powerful, which means you can do many many things with them, but it makes it pretty hard to understand what's happening: you always need to wonder “what will this code become when compiled”. A bit like with super-macro-heavy C code, or even lisp (even though comptime don't even work the same way macro do so you also need to wrap your head around it). In the end, IMHO it makes it “really fun to write, and hard to read”. This, combined with the lack of memory safety[2], probably make Zig the perfect hacker/hobbyist language, but not desirable for production (being the perfect mirror of Rust).

[1] even though Zig isn't a particularly good example for this, when reading real-world Zig code, there's `@` and unusual keywords (`align` `inline` `try` `comptime`, etc.), and (kind of) static typing. Of course it has a lighter syntax than Rust, but it's not like a dynamically-typed language either.

[2] yes, I know, there are some plans to have some kind of op-in memory-safety thanks to runtime checks, which is better than C's “everything is UB and sanitizer are an afterthought”, but still far away from the “proven safe” situation you get when using Rust. It's pretty sad that Zig didn't want to build upon the ownership framework developed by Rust.

To really cook your goose imagine if we could not only freely modify and "jump" between bodies, but also edit our memories.

So for free market capitalism you need these "markets" that eliminate the ability for money to be used for violence. Anytime violence is involved, it's automatically not free market capitalism, so any negative result does not reflect the ideology.
Subsequently, we understand the more mature oil and gas industry better, as they have been around longer, and have had more money invested in them.

It should be acknowledged that the emerging - in terms of time and investment - renewable industry affords a different risk level.

How sensitive one is to risk will determine their outlook.

Look, I get it outside of the money laundering scheme to modern art, throwing around how rich you are by buying "stuff". I get it. Tiny pecker syndrome. But let's stop and remember that Rockefeller and Carnegie, the OG capitalist titans, were dick measuring by donating their money. Sure "to the arts"... at least they were building halls and museums. They participated in some solid currency velocity that helped pay the wages to construction contractors. Still, they were assholes, but a lot better than just shoveling money between other rich cunts as a form of showing off.

The Mona Lisa is a physical "rivalrous" good, meaning if I own it, you cannot.

Digital goods are "non-rivalrous", so although NFTs can give a psychological feeling of ownership, I wouldn't say they make digital goods rivalrous.

I think digital NFTs only make sense in two ways: (1) psychological feelings of ownership, (2) perhaps a claim on something digital that _can_ be made rivalrous, for instance royalty streams. If these are subject to a smart contract that ensures one entity gets them, for example.

I mean this is not unprecedented (tying the economy to gold caused the great depression). A surprisingly large amount of people, even sometimes otherwise smart ones, can't seem to wrap their head around the fact that having a widespread deflationary token can destabilize the whole economy. Their blindness to this fact will be amplified if they own a lot of such tokens and stand to lose in the short term if the deflationary cycle is broken. Plus there is a prisoner's dilemma of standing to lose more if you sell too early before the peak which causes people to hodl further. What if these people are large corporations and leaders of large financial institutions that have a lot of political influence? The misguided token stabilizers often also seem to be democratically backed by the population that tends to equate tokens losing value to increasing cost of living instead of to market adjustments necessary for people to have jobs.

I can see it right now. If cryptocoins become widespread, we will start seeing articles in the press about how they are an integral part of the financial infrastructure now, an evolution of technology and the government should play a role in insuring their stability. If a consensus forms around these dangerous ideas, smarter voices could be drowned.
I was wondering recently if "comptime for()" wouldn't be a better name, because "inline for()" sounds like its main feature is "performance through loop unrolling", but the actual main feature seems to be "comptime-duck-typing through loop unrolling" :)
