I think you're confusing deflationary with depreciation.

Deflationary currency means over time, there's less of it, so if the demand stays stable, you'd expect the price to go up.

This is all personal experience, so obvious salt is required with it.

I've had bizarre networking bugs pop up on arch that I've not had elsewhere. I also just don't like rolling releases as much as I used to. Since the majority of what I do can be containerized, I prefer a much slower release cadence for my hosts, and anything that requires more up to date packages just gets thrown in a container.

Basically, I think my server workflow just doesn't line up with how arch works. On desktops it's great, since I'll always have up to date video drivers, desktop environments, etc, but on a server I don't usually use things that require the latest and greatest software. I figure as long as it's still getting bug fixes, I'm probably fine.

> Assuming you manage to grab a hold of debris without ripping off even tiny parts

There are some ideas that could be repurposed from asteroid mining concepts. Many asteroids are more like pile of gravel loosely bound by gravity than solid rocks, and either way, trying to extract anything risk launching lots of tiny pebbles in a random directions. One idea I saw floating around NASA website was to wrap such an asteroid in a net or sheet of material, to keep it from shaking itself apart. I could imagine similar lightweight net being used to wrap a satellite.

Once wrapped, you can do two things with it. You can try to deorbit captured trash - for instance, with a light net and a solar sail attached (which would be used to increase atmospheric drag). Such trash would not only deorbit faster, but a sail would make it easier to track. Nets and sails would have to be light and disposable, they could be shipped to orbit in bulk, or (later) manufactured in space.

Alternatively, you can try to recycle the trash. If you have in-orbit refueling using propellant sourced from space, you probably already have - or are about to have - some facility in orbit that could reprocess parts of dead satellites. So you can move the trash to some designated recycling orbit.

--

Now that I think of it, you could probably make a recycling collector work without all the infrastructure in space. In orbit, you have time, you can take things slow. I can imagine a collector chasing light trash using ion thrusters, or whatever is most promising in high-Isp department these days (how small can a VASIMR get anyway?), grabbing it and parking at the recycling orbit. Might take weeks per piece of trash, but if you launch a bunch of such collectors and feed them trajectories from the ground, they'll eventually clean the orbit out of light trash. It might require some actual developments in the beamed power department, and perhaps launching a power satellite to microwave some electricity to the collectors, but think it would work in (sufficiently modded) KSP :). Anyway, the biggest problem isn't mission design, but figuring out who will actually pay for this.

Not sure what to do about the most dangerous space trash - the tiny bits that can't be reliably tracked. Track them better and vaporize with lasers?

A high price of ETH as an asset creates a higher security level for Ethereum the blockchain. The ecosystem of projects, apps, protocols, organizations, etc on Ethereum is healthier when the blockchain is guaranteed secure and stable for everyone to use. It's a benefit to everyone.

Ethereum developers are hard forking Ethereum, but 51% of the hashpower disagrees and doesn't want to go with the hard fork.
Yup, it's a combination of new people not understanding it and media slander dirtying the word that has caused it to be avoided because it's gained a bad connotation.
I think schisms are healthy, democratic strategies that lead to resiliency over time. It requires interest groups to play their cards, some will succeed independently, some will fail, and often the schism won't last (the groups will reconcile and merge back together). Others see conflict, and label that as "bad," but this just seems like democracy at work. Democracy is messy and looks chaotic to the uninitiated, but all order looks like chaos to the uninitiated.

With that, I don't see blockchain governance as necessarily "decentralized," but anarchistic (non-pejoratively). Anarchistic governance can lead to complex institutions and centralization, the difference between it and traditional central organization is that participation is always completely voluntary. Most people are OK with letting the Ethereum foundation run the show most of the time, and that's totally compatible with decentralization. When people disagree, they typically organize into interest groups to either convince the current guard to consider their interests, or they schism (in this case).
Would it be interesting to explore using all services in a round-robin fashion and fully take advantage of all free tiers? Not sure if it's too much trouble for the possible benefits.
Last surviving mature tree. There are vast numbers of saplings all over Appalachia. They die quickly as they mature, but the roots are alive and keep producing new sprouts. As the article points out, in some areas where the coal companies took all the soil away (and therefore the fungus spores), the chestnuts can reach significant size before they get infected and die, but they always will get the blight eventually.

Binance has a BTC/BRL trading pair and peer-to-peer trading. I don't see how I'm depending on tether at all. I agree that centralized exchanges are a single point of failure but they're necessary for the time being. It's always possible to withdraw all assets to local wallets, it just makes trading harder.

Cryptocurrency has never been about "cashing out" though. The whole point is to be able to pay for things with the coins themselves, without the need to convert to fiat money. I believe Monero is the only one which will one day achieve this goal.

I'm not destroying the environment either. All the energy consumption of bitcoin doesn't add up to even 1% of global consumption. There are far worse offenders here yet somehow people are up in arms about non-fungible tokens. Why? Cryptocurrency is an easy and convenient target compared to entrenched and powerful industries like fossil fuels.

Also, "achieves less than nothing" is just factually wrong. By using even the pseudonymous bitcoin you make it that much harder for the government to seize your assets. They can't just order the bank to do it. They'd have to literally seize your computer in order to obtain those coins. Monero raises the bar even higher and changes the balance of power so thoroughly it's subversive.
Somewhat related, but I can't stop thinking about what's going to happen when GPT-4 reads articles like this.

Articles like these that discuss GPT-3's output, or comments and articles directly generated by GPT-3, are going to be fed into GPT-4 as part of a theoretical WebText3 dataset. Will that help or hurt GPT-4's learning? What effect will it have?

Theoretically you can feed GPT-3's responses back into itself and ask it to introspect about them; whether it was right or wrong and to comment on why it gave the response it did. But I doubt GPT-3 is particularly good at self introspection. GPT-3 was trained before GPT-3 existed, obviously. So it was never trained on articles analyzing the output of an AI of its caliber.

But GPT-4 is going to be trained on a corpus filled with people analyzing GPT-3's outputs, like this article. We would expect GPT-4 to be able to write an article like this. So it should be theoretically possible to give GPT-4 its own output, and then ask it to provide introspection, and for that introspection to be insightful.

EDIT: Follow up thought. It's almost as if the internet is being filled with a training corpus on GPT-3's failings. Every fact that GPT-3 failed to learn from WebText2 is now going to be repeated, alongside the correct answer, in WebText3. Humans are globally working, unknowingly, to build a curated dataset by which GPT-4 can learn from GPT-3's mistakes.
It took me 1 hour 30 minutes. Have to say, this is so well designed. Love it.
People are never going to be using ETH as a currency. They would use stablecoins like DAI pegged to USD or a basket of assets.

It was a bad pun.
«Move fast and break things»?
The issue here seems to be that instead of giving miners the fees, they are destroyed, creating a deflationary spiral, which helps speculators' wallets (who want the money supply to shrink), while hurting miners' wallets. It helps ETH holders.
Interesting, because in Europe we have Cameraria ohridella [0] which wreak havoc on horse chestnuts. The moth replicates like crazy and the only recourse is collecting and burning fallen leaves every year. Luckily it looks worse than it is for the trees, they loose their leaves in August, but by then most of a years photosynthesis is done ( just losing like 17%)

Anyhow American chestnuts are bad hosts for the moths, so a lot of newly planted chestnuts are the American variant.

If cultural institutions are captured and weaponized by people whose views represent <10% of society, won't the rest of society simply choose new cultural institutions to care about?

This seems to me to be already underway. Right wing media has been around for decades, and more recently youtube, podcasts, substack, etc. have provided a platform for a huge number of cultural institutions opposed to the tyrannical 10%.

So what's the problem?

Well, I think the problem is that it's not <10%. Sure, some of the more extreme examples of woke-ism would have very little broad support. And sure, the aforementioned ecosystem of alternative cultural institutions are incentivized to make sure those examples get as much exposure as possible. But the "steelman" version of woke-ism probably has 40-50% support in the US. The steelman version of anti-wokism probably has around the same support level.

So we're at a stalemate. The old-guard of tyrannical college elite institutions and the new breed of alternative working class everyman institutions co-exist in the same attention marketplace, competing and trading blows.

So again I ask, what's the problem?
You're pulling threads here. There's a lot of people involved. And then they still need to convince wallet developers and miners. And then once there's the move to PoS they'll also need to convince the users and stakers (miners removed from equation).

> I mean you would never put off a molten metal; it would burn forever

I doubt that, if it burned forever you could use it to heat water and spin a turbine and produce free power. If you meant “forever” as “a long time”, then sure :P

It would eventually cool down after removing the source of heat keeping the metal molten, which are electric resistive heating elements (assuming it works like an aluminum smelter).
True. But it has a more relaxed approach to moderation.
Pretty sure some people do that to anything.

Doesn't mean the intent behind the video was that...
Isn't one of the problems that the price of the total procedures are so different from the component parts / equipment / time, because different providers (and insurers) lump in different categories of cost with different methodologies of billing for overhead items? Or allow different costs to come in?

Such that even if you tried to comparison shop across 2 hospitals, you can't really tell whether that is the "all in" cost of what you want to understand?

Or is it that even for the same exact procedure, two patients might be billed differently because of what insurance each allows in particular? Or is it even further, price discrimination? Or because the hospital has agreements with the insurer for other costs to be billed for on the side, complicating the issue?

I remember seeing some news when it was operational a few weeks ago.
I was curious as to the reason why water or CO2 can't be used to put off a metal fire. The TL;DR is that with a metal fire the high temperatures cause the H2O and CO2 molecules to be unstable enough that the metal can attract the oxygen molecules to fuel the ongoing fire rendering them useless as a fire suppressors. H2O is even worse as once the oxygen is split from the water molecule you are left with hydrogen which will combust and explosion might cause the molten fire to spread further. This doesn't happen with wood burning as the attraction to the oxygen molecules from the carbon being burnt is the same or stronger than the attraction from the CO2 or H2O molecules.
Please describe how you would actually do that in Go.

Looking at the 2020 results, it seems like a remarkably good outcome to me. The trouble is that any leader who tries to expand term limits gets a relatively good deal probability wise, while the society gets a lot of uncertainty followed by a high probability of dictator. Consequences of trying to raise term limits should be many and more severe.

Far from completely pointless, it sounds useful to run Wayland applications on X11; and could well be a useful contingency or ease to transition.

It's easy to spot the people not knowledgeable in crypto when they just parrot the media's fear mongering narratives.
It would burn until all the metal has reacted. I think the point is that due to its chemical properties what you're using to try to "extinguish" the fire is actually fueling the reaction so not forever but you're certainly not helping.
Most companies (the majority, I'd wager) who were Sherlocked were _not_ bought by Apple. Most companies basically got a "sucks to be you", that they found out along with everyone else at an Apple launch event where Apple had, sometimes shamelessly and brazenly, cloned their product. Sometimes, to add insult to injury, Apple would then remove that company's product from App Stores as "duplicating OS functionality".
If the fee are going to be (partially) burned, can the miners just ask that everyone pays the fees by a side channel? Perhaps make a smart contract that holds the same value of the fee until the transaction is included. The miners can just ensure to include both or neither, and get paid.
“A single species” doesn't feel decentralised, either. You're pumping your intuition rather than considering reality directly.

It's interesting that miners are protesting EIP-1559 proposal, which is burning away transaction fees as opposed to giving them to miners, while for the last years Eth has focused on completely eliminating miners with proof of stake. Why not protest the latter? What am I missing?

Regardless, I sold all my mining equipment 2 years ago when it was clear that Eth was moving to PoS, mining alt-coins wasnt something I was interested in, since except for ETH and BTC, I believe all these chains are inferior.
Satoshi already envisioned smart contracts that's why he created and designed Bitcoin Script Language "The design supports a tremendous variety of possible transaction types that I designed years ago. Escrow transactions, bonded contracts, third party arbitration, multi-party signature, etc."[1]

They bill based on the procedures done and might not have that information until after the fact.

I'm not saying it's a good way to do things.

Opening a price list, it looks like one hospital charges ~$5000 for a knee replacement without major complications, and then the matching price for one with complications is $30000.

So how do they quote that when the complications can be unpredictable?

Which of course just says that maybe people shouldn't be put in the situation of trying to figure it out for themselves.
