The carbon tax should be earmarked to be spent capturing carbon, and cover about 2x the emissions of the power generated.

A handy rule of thumb, for gasoline: A gallon of gas produces 20lbs of CO2. A ton is 2000lbs. If a carbon capture technology costs X dollars per ton, it costs X cents per gallon.

Most carbon capture technologies will be in the $15 to $85 per ton range when they scale.

Therefore, a $1/gallon gasoline tax (and equivalent for coal, etc), would be enough to solve climate change.

As many have argued before me. Bitcoin will probably not be useful as a every day currency, but more useful as a store of value and long term investment. There are other cryptocurrencies that are faster, have lower transaction fees, provide anonymity and are just as easy to use.
what kind of purpose
Optionals can be null, so dereferencing them can still cause an NPE. Also the syntax is horrible.

I know the excuse that they are just meant to be used to wrap the return value of a function that might be null, rather than as a guard against NPEs, but that just means we’ve got a crappy, verbose Optional class ... and NPEs.

It was the most half assed attempt to fix the billion dollar mistake [0] anyone could have come up with. It needed syntax and compiler support, not a stupid wrapper class.

1. in many cases the misbehaving clients and servers are obviously wrong, but Postel's law means they "worked for me" when the developer tested it 10 years ago before abandoning it.

2. The FTP protocol got a lot of cruft added to it that modern clients don't implement (e.g. any transfer mode other than stream).

3. FTP over TCP predates NATs and firewalls, which caused a lot of problems as well.

4. FTP was designed for human-readable, not machine-readable output. In particular the output of a LIST command is woefully underspecified.

I think #1 is the biggest issue for long-term viability of protocols. Not following Postel's law is a recipe for death (same reason why it's suicide for a browser to unilaterally untrust a major CA; any site that doesn't work in browser X is assumed to be browser X's fault), but following Postel's law is a recipe for undocumented de-facto standards with crazy edge cases.
What's more concerning to me is the cryptocurrency market as a whole. Perhaps there is an argument to Bitcoin being a kind of "digital gold" even if it is all but useless as a currency. But events like Dogecoin hitting a $50B market cap are very unsettling to me.

I used to take part in "Dogecoin Socks for the Homeless" events. It was wonderful, everyone was trying to make something good out of what we all knew to be a meme. I am shocked now to look back on those wallet addresses which once held ~$1,500 and see they'd be worth $285,000 (had I held). Of course, it might be that I'm just angry I wasn't the one to become rich, but the mania right now is really, seriously, insane.

Many people who are FOMO-ing in thinking this will make them millions with a few hundred dollars invested will be hurt when the "number go up, number go down" cycle turns to "number go down."

> Nobody disagree with the message

Many disagree with the message - it’s an explicitly Marxist organisation, and they want more “alternative families” which will obviously be single mothers with multiple baby daddies in the real world, rather than families of a man and woman living in monogamy raising the children who are the product of their love. Being raised without both the masculine and feminine creates inner incompleteness. The result of BLM is anti white and anti family, which means I am their enemy.

Maybe the Streisand effect is imaginary. Ie you don't know how many stories are successfully suppressed. Just bc barbara streisand bungled concealing something, doesn't mean something as sophisticated as fb, decades later, is as inept. Of course I'd like to think the Streisand effect is real, but I don't think we have any data.
Also, taxes are money. Essentially, a government issues money to its (armed) servants. It also demands its citizens to pay a certain tax in form of that money. This forces the citizens to work for and sell to the government's servants to obtain that money. Servants are happy, government can continue to govern, citizens, well, who cares, right?

Closest thing to mind is Numba's cuda JIT compilation : https://numba.pydata.org/numba-doc/latest/cuda/index.html

Then you have Cudapy : https://github.com/oulgen/CudaPy

But in my opinion, the most future proof solutions are higher level frameworks like Numpy, Jax and Tensorflow. TensorFlow and Jax can JIT compile Python functions to GPU (tf.function).

When I play chess (on lichess) with my friends, I am typically in the same physical/Discord room with them. We do not need another way to chat.

With everyone else, I'm very happy to be limited to "GL", "HF", "Thanks", "Bye" (localized to their language of choice).

I'm also not trying to make friends/community on lichess, its not like WoW or Dota where teams matter to the actual game. Historically, chess teams existed because of geographical boundaries. People needed other chess players of a similar level to: 1. get better at chess, 2. amortize the costs of traveling to a tournament, 3. try to estimate their global ranking to satisfy ego.

Players on the same chess teams happened to become very good friends because of the time commitment to the game and therefore each other. Eventually the friendships were the more important commitment. However, with lichess (or just the internet in general), I can satisfy all 3 benefits of having a chess team by playing alone on lichess and have really great friends orthogonal of chess (especially since travel isn't part of my chess hobby's time commitment).

With a realtor in the middle of a transaction, it's not solely between a willing buyer and seller.

The realtor has interests orthogonal to both parties. These interests are driven by their overhead, access to working capital and the time value of money. As well as their personal timelines...try to close a real-estate deal the Friday before a long weekend or the Monday after.
Taxes seem more of a form of "societal sculpture" in our day, as there are carve-outs to enhance this virtue or punish that vice.

Blows my mind how we can have truly great software architecture like, e.g. Netflix, and a tax system that remains a Byzantine trainwreck.

Or, as Jonah Goldberg notes: "Complexity is a subsidy."
I've worked at some point on a commercial game engine written in C++ at the core but with many Lua components and API, for convenience.

The reasoning wat the same, all the heavy lifting done with fast native code, and everything written in Lua was mostly glue code without real performance impact.

Turns out the engine was slow and difficult to maintain because of the many interfaces. They ditched it a few years later...

I think you could say the same thing about javascript on the web, this is mostly glue code, all the heavy lifting is done by optimized C++ or Rust code in the browser. And yet it is difficult to run a web mail client if your computer is a bit old...

It's not a hard cut off, it's an attenuation. If you set the room up right, it should basically undo the proximity effect so you getting something closer to how you would actually hear that persons voice.

Of course if you had it on and were further away from the mic, you'd thin out lower voices. Just goes to show micing people (or instruments) isn't entirely straightforward.

Yeah I worked on Aviions and Clarriions in healthcare, I think we had the first DG RAID 5 array delivered in Western Australia, there’s a photo of me and my boss standing proudly on either side of it as it came off the back of the truck. All 2.5 GB of it!

The DG gear was awesome, the OS was great and even the support was terrific. Such a shame they died.

I never considered the rise of Windows as a development platform as being the driver for that failure but it makes sense. I used to work on X terminals and then Linux workstations, and with DG being strongly into GNU tools I didn’t see the Windows side of things at all until much later in my career.

But this really supports up the idea that if devs move to ARM, so will the cloud.
Shouldn't this question be asked in a larger context? Since the moon landing, pretty much every major government-led initiative has been less successful than the one before, as far as I can think of. (Admittedly this is my "general sense" and not based on any exhaustive research).

Is nuclear power special? I don't think so. I think it's just more sensitive to the various pathologies that have crept into the US political system over the past 5 decades.

If I wrote a history of modern technology since 1960, my first guess at a theme would be "the government led the development of many major new technologies then people decided it wasn't good at this, and it passed all the profits on to private companies--who then stopped working on big breakthroughs (mostly)"

Again, maybe I'm wrong, but that's my hypothesis.
Maybe they'll figure out that the USA republic is Rome 2.0, "the good bits, now with science added".

Good video. Peter Lynch does also say at some point in the video that he looks at what's happening now. I do think it is worth considering that some of the current asset classes are possibly in bubble territory, and some asset classes don't have high enough returns to preserve purchasing power. Historically, the stock market has done well, over time, no disagreement there.
Can you think of a representation where they would be isomorphic?
If you look at a graph of either our money supply or spending it is pretty clear that we are in uncharted territory in terms of money supply expansion. They are basically hockey sticking.

So don't make it out to be some kind of fringe hypothesis to expect inflation. It's the base case at this point.

For the record I'm specifically not arguing we will have hyperinflation. I don't think we will. We don't even need to get within 1/10th of hyperinflation to inflate away our current stock market bubble or even the crypto bubble.

The voxel bounded neural radiance field is important as neural radiance field was some prior research paper this builds off. But the very high level is just voxel data to image generation using some form of neural nets. I didn’t look at the paper but I’d hope it summarizes neural radiance fields and if not it’ll at least cite them and then you’d read there and see how this paper extends that work.
Java is the mini-van of programming languages.

It's not fast, not specialized, but is completely adequate for almost all use cases.

Stocks:

* You buy them because they increase earnings and eventually produce dividends at a very high yield to your initial investment.

* The company can issue shares suppressing the price.

* The company can do stock buybacks, increasing the price.

* Brokers can naked short, suppressing the price.

Fiat currency

* You need it to pay taxes and debts.

* Endless Printing.

Gold

* Bought because of limited supply.

* Supply can be increased by settling futures in fiat, or more gold mining or naked shorting.

* Very few have custody.

Bitcoin

* You buy it not for dividends.

* No naked shorting. No stock buybacks because there is no company. Limited new issuance because code=law.

Bitcoin's use case is a reliable means of calculating reciprocation for value provided that can't be interfered with by 3rd parties to the transaction via dilution unless they expend meaningful effort by mining.
> The reason it doesn't exist in the private sector

The same problem absolutely does exist in the private sector. Many of the same big government contractors are running almost the same scam on big companies.

I think this problem is more a function of the size of the organization than public vs. private.
For the record, I wasn't trying to correct the author as much as I wanted to share an observation that I find interesting about this example.
I’ve read most of Taleb’s books. And follow his contrarian investment advice. Being anti-fragile makes a lot of sense.

Looking beyond his typical ad-hominem attacks. i.e. ‘Questioned by the user ‘Ultra_Mega_BTC’, who said that “the market is saying the opposite”, Nassim Taleb called him an “imbecile”.’

I wonder, if there’s something more to this. As in, what is he selling? He’s got the spotlight... more books? Or a drop in bitcoin... buying bitcoin on a down cycle.

These supposed problems, are not what bitcoin is supposed to solve. His trading advice is 90% of your money in riskless assets (T-bills). The rest in the riskiest investments one can find. He must’ve not bought into bitcoin ;)
