It seems like the desperation is the more powerful motivator but carries significant side effects. I wonder if it's possible to motivate people in meaningful ways with only carrot and no stick.

NASA inspired millions of children in the 60s and 70s to go into science yet real progress in space technology seems to have only picked up recently. Similarly with nuclear technology, it took 12 years to get from nukes could exist to 15KT yields to 50MT yields but we still don't have fusion and fission reactor designs haven't changed that much in decades despite significant problems.

Sometimes I feel like people are change adverse and won't just change things to improve them. People only really change things when there's a significant threat of them getting worse. Reality is surely more complicated and nuanced but I think it will mark a significant change in our evolution when we improve things because we know they can be better instead of racing to avoid a disaster.
I see your point, but you could perhaps do what they are doing to fiat currencies (and to our countries), exploit them slowly.
Pokemon card buyers are self selecting into a collecting competition. People aren't going to brag to all their friends about how they managed to snag one of the very limited rooms at some no-name hotel. They might though, if you have some special gimmick I suppose, like if you cater to the crowd that sees travel as completing a collection of attractions.
Without knowing much about the hardware scene, this was incredibly easy to follow, informative, and generally really interesting. This is a cool overview.

Also very impressive. What an undertaking. I can see why someone like this would succeed - she seems exceptionally organized, knowledgeable, and competent.

I have dreams of getting into hardware sometimes, then people like this really temper that thought. I don’t have anywhere near the chops and brain power to pull something like this off.
What about the electricity cost for powering the card. Doesn’t that outweigh the e-waste part by a significant margin?

Just because a card can’t be used by gamers doesn’t mean the card must be tossed, there are plenty of non-gaming uses such as AI. You’ll probably see an aftermarket for both types of cards.

Also, like regular graphics cards, newer versions are highly prized so one might say that graphics cards as an industry is already all about e-waste. Unless you’d like to buy my Radeon 9800 or my GTX 1070? They’re still perfectly good for gaming… except everybody wants the new RTX ray tracing etc.
If a sanctioned individual holds you up at gunpoint and asks for your money, is it illegal to give it to them?

Wouldn't you just override the defaults if you need to scope at the account level?

There are plenty of valid reasons to not scope it to a user. Having the default scoped to the most common case makes sense.
Yes. Or S3 bucket, or whatever. The thing I'm getting at is, can we use GitHub actions for application tasks like web sraping that need compute and network access, but that don't really do much with with a git repo. Does GitHub want to support that?
You would also still have read-only access through the web app. :)

It also costs a couple hundred bucks to run an Ethereum node. You are confusing running a validator and running a node, those are two independent things, just like mining and running a node.
Pretty crazy to think about individuals owning this much land. For context, the entire city of Orlando, Fl is ~71k acres and a quarter of a million people live there.
Someone who follows me on Twitter DM'd me and mentioned they are about to lose $7,400 in credits.

I don't care about karma or anything but I really hope this post hits the front page because this is a case of a publicly traded company benefiting from years of the community heavily promoting them and then now they're negating all of that, and stealing back all of those years of credits. It's like them directly reaching into your bank account and taking out that money because the transaction has already occurred to refer the customer to them.

The main issue is DO only offers referral payouts in the form of credits. Most other companies would pay out referrals over ACH or PayPal, not credits.

His work is not without problems. This has come up in other Linear B threads:

> gentle reader, pray perpend the syllable-groups (reference number Dy 401), that run: a-ma wi-ru-qe ka-no to-ro-ja qi-pi-ri-mu a-po-ri. Here we have two specimens of the labio-velars, the syllables with q-, discovered by Ventris, to the astonishment of philologists who had not expected to find them in Bronze Age Greek. qe is, of course, equivalent to Latin -que, Greek te, while qi doubtless here shows the development to a voiced dental noted by Ventris and Chadwick in their "Mycenaean Vocabulary,"

> The Greek evaluation of the sentence would be, according to Ventris's spelling rules, halmai wiluite kainōs Tholoiai Diphilimus apolis: "With brine and slime in novel fashion at Tholoia (the place of tholoi, beehive tombs) Diphilimus (is) cityless." No doubt this is a record of a Bronze Age tidal wave.

> It is by coincidence that the acumen of Mr. Michael C. Stokes, the Edinburgh authority on ancient philosophy, has extracted the Virgilian hexameter, Arma virumque cano Troiae qui primus ab oris....

> Note that in this sentence one need assume only two of the six words to be names of persons or places, whereas, in the Lin B material as a whole, 75 per cent of the sign-groups have to be, on Ventris's system, evaluated as names

I was interested to learn that it is considered significant that Apollo is not attested in the deciphered corpus of Linear B. (Though Paean is.)

I was also interested to learn, later, that the obviously Greek Alaksandus of Wilusa, writing in Hittite in the 13th century BC, did guarantee his half of a treaty by invoking the deity "Apaliunas".

Good point. Also the very neutral background would contribute to that.
So apple restricting iphone repairs (by breaking camera/fingerprint reader, or nagging you about the battery/display) is totally fine because it's done in software?
> Hardware manufactures already segment features between consumer and busness grade parts that the silicon itself is capable of, such as virtualization, but restricting what algorithms one can run is a whole new level.

The silicon might also be capable of running the latest nvidia self driving ML models, yet you don’t get that just because it’s capable- you have to pay them $x so that they have the money to pay their engineers to develop those features (and pay the company directors, and shareholders, etc). It’s the same for things like the professional quadro view software - https://www.nvidia.com/en-in/design-visualization/software/q... - there’s only a compelling business case to make this software as a result of the higher margins they make on quadro cards.
A principle is a moral heuristic so you don't have to scan to root of your moral argument tree on every moral question. As a heuristic, it attempts to compress the moral space down and will naturally have exceptions.

As a compressed form of your moral judgment, it is also useful for you to quickly communicate your position on the moral space, and it is up to participants in social interactions to decide whether or not someone is good at this moral judgment compression.

For instance, I have a principle not to lie in general. Most social participants know that this does not constrain me from lying in specific situations. After repeated interactions they can tell whether this principle of mine is held in a manner that's useful to them.

The same principle also allows me to quickly judge situations that require me to lie. Is it okay for me to tell this person that their house is painted poorly? Well, I have this anti-lie principle so that pulls me toward "yes". I might have other principles that pull me in other directions.

Of course you can treat principles as immutable moral rods. This presumably has some value to you. In general, people do not act in this manner, however.
Semantically they’re not the same. In the ‘old way’ adding a key to one of the original dicts does not change the new dict. Whereas the new key will appear in the ChainMap.

There are more purchasers than cards available, so they are intentionally limiting purchases by miners with this method in preference to gamers. They don't want to sell their shovels to miners right now.

The royal we serves an excellent purpose. A rule of thumb could be: imagine you hired an employee. What would stay "we" and what would stay "me"? In the former case, the fact that you are solo is an implementation detail and should be abstracted from your audience.
Because cryptocurrencies are basically a pyramid scheme, the money for early investors is made by huge amounts of new people entering the pyramid.

Lots of people enter the pyramid because they have seen early investors benefit greatly and they want to benefit too. It works very well until people start getting out of the pyramid(selling) and the same thing happens in inverse, people want to recover the money they invested and price plummets.

There are two main reasons a big company like Nvidia can not mine for themselves:

1. Nobody will enter the pyramid in the first place just for enriching Nvidia. People enter a pyramid because they have seen their neighbor making money "out of nothing" and they get the Gold Rush themselves. Like a virus the Rush is contagious by people between them.

2. When prices go up everything is happiness and good feelings. When prices go down the people that have lost their savings will get mad at the company that benefited from their own ignorance or greed.
Not really.

Principles are borne of small communities because small communities can afford to be principles.

Before software ate the world, the impact that damaging actors had was much more limited. A few computers would get a few viruses here and there but that was it.

We live a world where computers have been integrated into the fabric of society, and where system risks do not have easy, principled answers.

And if principles don't adapt and negotiate with reality, its defenders will just be isolated from the rest of society which can't afford to lose a lot of other things, which include other, possibly more important, principles.

What changed with regards to GDPR was that 15 years ago there weren't Facebooks, Amazons, and other megacorps that had the personal data of 30% of the world's population available for their use. Tech monopolies encroached different product areas.

What changed in 15 years is that we grew up, we acquired power, we became more integrated into society and as such the risk profiles change. You either do, or you become irrelevant like many of the Free Software activists who were a vanguard back then and whose opinion nowadays matters little.
We have banned low efficiency vehicles (CAFE standards), we have banned refrigerants that are bad for the environment (CFCs). We have things that clearly cause massive amounts of societal harm (leaded gasoline). The market didn't solve any of those issues, the government did. I for one am extremely happy that we live in a world that is not poisoned by lead and that still has a functioning ozone layer. Its kind of silly that you are equating bitcoin with the entire modern banking system. The regulations to ban leaded gasoline didn't destroy automobiles, they just made them change. Changes to proof of stake aren't existential to BTC holders, but they are existential to the rest of us.

Also "until something you rely gets banned", what do you rely on bitcoin for besides being a store of value?
Sadly voters cannot yet influence how non-governmental owners choose to use the significant land holdings. And increasingly voters cannot even overcome the outsized influence of rich individuals and companies and their lobbies on how government owned land gets used.

Our is the two together : Speaker/Writer + Reader/Audience. When I am writing something with the mindset of explaining it to others, even code comments, ours feels more natural to me. Imaging a person sitting across the table, and we are demonstrating something. So instead of saying, "Now I am going to turn this nob", it feels more natural to me to say "Now We are going to turn this nob".

This is just imprecise statement of principle. It's more like you're against the government intervening unless they're credibly doing it to save lives. If someone discovered how to turn a microwave into a nuclear bomb, presumably you'd support government intervention to collect all the microwaves, even if they had to intervene a lot in our lives. Likewise, you support government intervention to reduce covid deaths, etc.
I do as well, but I have to admit that a browser-based solution has a real security advantage when it comes to phishing protection, since it has access to the URL and can compare it to the one stored for the password.

It would be cool if there was some open password management API that browsers/password managers could implement to solve this without extensions.
With the amount of data needed, one on one is probably easiest. We saw teams and zoom struggle to support more people in a call last year. It’s also nice to have them be true to size. Mini people might be somewhat uncomfortable.
I've used adblock for so long that I completely forget it's even there. Consequently, I also forget how shitty most the internet is without it.

I never even thought about or realized that adblock may be why I have had issues with many different online retailers. I just assume "something is fukt with the site, or my browser, Vivaldi, is at fault" and then just buy the product elsewhere or buy a different/similar product instead.

Why does the attacker need to hold or buy any coins? All the attacker has to do to wreck havoc is prevent quorum from being reached. This can be done by knocking validators offline (which is a slashable penalty), or hacking validators and making them slash themselves, or hacking an exchange or two in order to amass control of 33% or more of the voting power.
We have another datapoint though, the age of the Earth. Life started fairly early after the Earth cooled, about a billion years after initial formation. This implies that abiogensis could have happened several times since then and died out; created the same chemical system independently; was out-competed by regular DNA life; or they're around but we just haven't discovered alternative forms of life on earth.

But life capable of communicating across space didn't arrive until 4.5 billions years and after several mass extinctions. Even on a cosmic scale that's a very long time.

From what I recall, everybody dreams an approximately equal amount of time every night, the only major difference is how much of it is forgotten when you wake up.

I wish I recalled (..or saved) the paper, but waking up releases a chemical in the brain that makes you actively and quickly forget what you just dreamed about.

The ecosystem nvidia has built and maintains is a KEY differentiator.

Basically, for machine learning, AMD is nowhere - the ecosystem is on nvidia (provided you can buy their stuff). If they can't deliver, then whatever crazy thing AMD is trying in this space (been a few tries) may take hold more. Getting developers access to nvidia becomes key then - games / machine learning tooling etc all then gravitates that way.

For gaming you do end up with some options. Nvidia / AMD / Intel. Wide range here, but been pretty steady need for graphics including top end and lower end options. The OEM's are also customers in this space, everyone going to remote work with virtualized workloads as well if they need a graphics option there and more.

Yes, they are segmenting, but in short run they are giving up $ they would get by selling all stuff with full Eth enabled and perhaps auctioning cards. They'd make a ton in short run, but a few user bases would abandon them. It really is not going to be good for their business if they have another 6 months of supply issues.
Sure, why not?

In terms of renown, it is probably it the top equations people would be able to recognize by name, and tell you what it is about. The only equations that might be more recognizable by name are the Pythagorean theorem, ideal gas law, and perhaps some Newtons laws of motion.

In terms of scientific relevance, It is a tool for examining what many people consider the single most important questions ever asked.
As I said in a downvoted post, I disagree. The post is a technical writing with an emphasis on setting up an environment for a single person.

For a technical writing, I would treat it like code, use the most accurate word possible, and here it is "me".

Even more confusing since by looking at the company website, there is more than one person involved. For example "When we use a third-party library, we pull its source directly into the firmware's source tree" implies that someone else has access to the repository when it doesn't seem to be the case.
Well, we know life on earth is at least 3.7 billion years old, but it's not much clear how much older. Since the earth is 4.5 billion years old, that means that life could have appeared after ~17% of its life span so far, which is not THAT little. Furthermore, even if life appeared as early as the earliest estimate - just a few million years after the earth formed - we have no evidence that abiogenesis continued happening after an initial event, or that it happened anywhere except an initial location.

Those two factors may mean that abiogenesis could be an extremely unlikely event that randomly happened to occur very early in the Earth's life span.
It's as much a commentary on HN itself. If this exact post were a comment on /r/apple, it likely would have been flagged and deleted.

and UASF are a thing in PoS as well, if some entity/entities acquire a majority of the staked coins users can simply fork the malicious actors out. It's functionally equivalent except that it's an order of magnitude more expensive to acquire the required coins as opposed to getting the equivalent in hashpower.
I immediately thought of business travel as well. Project us all in to a virtual conference room and give us a suite of collaboration tools to use while we're all there.

I was just looking at a good host for my next project. Was considering DO, Linode, and Vultr.

DO was top of the running (along w/ Linode), but this makes me reconsider. I guess I will go with Linode, instead.

Makes sense in hindsight. DO took the great Linode business model then injected it with VC magic. Was only a matter of time before they needed to turn things around and translate any good will into sweet, sweet returns.
Isn't macOS still using kernel extensions (kexts) for GPU drivers? That might not technically be in the kernel itself but it's still pretty close and certainly not userspace.

And it's most likely a really short lived niche
