I find the notion of a sim a little more interesting that other kinds of closed systems, because unlike say "what if the world is a dream" there are constants in a sim, rules are fixed. Those rules may be exploitable.

So I'm just curious where the bugs may be found? After all anything this complicated probably has bugs =)... Is it in quantum mechanics? Faster than light travel? Something super mundane that we've not thought about because it's that simple way someone decided to trigger debug mode?

Find those and fun things may be possible, which would also give us evidence for the sim theory.

I'm not holding my breath, but it's fun to think about.
The first step is to realise that it makes no difference to the people living inside a universe whether that universe is "real" or simulated.

The second step is to realise that it makes no difference to the people living inside a simulated universe whether you actually run the simulator, or even bother building it.

For example, the set of prime numbers less than 10^12 exists whether or not you build and program a computer to print them out. If you write a program that simulates a universe, then the mathematical object defined by that program exists whether or not you build a computer and run the program, and to any conscious beings that happen to exist inside that hypothetical universe it can't possibly make any difference.

That's my opinion, anyway.
I would agree that the group of people who spend tons of time on social media tends to lean left, but it doesn't help that the platforms are actively driving away non-leftists.

In other words, it's hardly surprising that the user base of Twitter leans left.

(For example, when they suspended Jason Whitlock for tweeting "Black Lives Matter founder buys $1.4 million home in Topanga, which has a black population of 1.4%. She's with her people!".)
>If you had to verifiable set a million dollars on fire for mining a block, that would be as secure as proof of work without wasting energy

Sure, but nobody has found a way to do that, nor has anybody found an alternative to PoW that doesn't have terrible security tradeoffs. It doesn't help to say something magical could have better properties - you need to find something that actually works in practice by satisfying all requirements
I'm a tad confused on the question...
- what's your recipe actually set up on the VPS?
- is the fear that your clients will want Docker/Kube from the get-go and not your single-server solution?
Maybe the universe exists precisely because it's indistinguishable from its own simulation. Maybe that's existence per se. Maybe self-reference is more fundamental than void. Likelihood arguments assume some kind of bottom level, but perhaps there is none.

It's generally thought that beginners improve most quickly by playing slower chess (e.g. 15+10 or even 30+20). If you're a 1000 and you only play bullet, you may end up cementing some of your bad habits. Whereas with slower time controls, one has time to calculate some deeper lines and really try to understand the position. And if one spends a year getting to 1400 in rapid, one will find that one's gains from slower time controls will quickly bare fruit in the lower time controls (once you learn time management).

Generally speaking, players playing bullet are more interested in having fun and less interested in gaining elo (which of course is totally fine).
In hindsight this may seem wrong but I don’t completely blame him.

The offshoring of IT was so novel unlike say manufactured goods. Governments can’t stop it although I think they should in some form if you think it’s important for your country
The problem with generated code is that it is rarely easy to understand or maintain. Suppose you need to add new features or fix a bug, to do so you will need all of the original specifications and code generation tools. Will those tools work on other platforms? Do they support all of the low level needs of C? For example, do they support bit-level layout for structs or inline assembly?

I believe that Rust will make more inroads to replace C in many domains. This will eliminate many of C's known issues that Certified Program Synthesis seeks to address.

If you need formal verification or proofs, SPARK https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARK_(programming_language) is a mature and effective tool with a proven track record. It lets developers write code that is easy to understand and maintain compared to generated code and can formally prove the correctness of programs.
I don't believe there will ever be a successful social network based on extreme right (or left) viewpoints regardless of the tech stack, because extremism thrives on conflict, and there's no conflict to be had with a bunch of people sitting around going, I know, right!?

They think they want a safe space where they can say whatever they want, but what they really want is to say abrasive things in a place where people are obliged to listen. If you and your friends have been ejected from a bar for causing conflict, it's no fun standing out in the parking lot yelling slurs at the sky. People who love conflict need someone to argue with.
thanks for your insights!

It's pretty interesting read.
Again, just false.

Nobody has built anything like the whole stack needed for a secure distributed App Store with private payments.

It’s obvious you can’t build such a thing on top of Apple’s store, it’s just not credible to claim to be trying and being stopped by Apple.

You could build one for Linux or Android. If you actually made it work, then it would be existence proof that a centralized model is not needed for a private and secure store.

That hasn’t been proven and the way to prove it is clearly to build it where it can be built, not to make arguments about Apple’s bad faith.

>1. They shut it down enough to prevent retail from FOMOing in more

Source? The only thing we know for sure is that they restricted trading. Their official explanation was due to volatility/deposit requirements. What's the evidence that they did it to "prevent retail from FOMOing in more"?

>2. I'm skeptical too, but there is no way the reported figures are accurate

They may not be 100% accurate. I'll entertain the possibility that they're a few percentage points off, but are they more than 10x off as the DD suggests?

>Finra itself lists RC Ventures/Blackrock twice, and adds up to more than 100% for institutional investors

This should tell you all you need to know. The general problem with debunking conspiracies is that it takes more effort to debunk than it is to make it up.

>Given what I've seen with news coverage, the promotion of AMC as an alternative

The alternative explanation to the "even the media is in on it!" conspiracy is that GME was months ago, and AMC is far more recent so is therefore getting more attention. Another problem is that: what about the hedge funds shorting AMC? Don't they stand to lose if AMC blows up? Where's their conspiracy? Do the GME shorters have better conspiracy people than the people shorting AMC?

There is an inconvenient truth we all avoid when we throw out climate change. There is nothing you can do to stop climate change. If you stopped all Canadians from producing any greenhouse gases the wildfires will continue and no one will have noticed.

When two countries are producing the vast majority you are at their mercy. If Canada wants to bully, bribe or shame a country into submission it has to get bigger and have a much bigger army.

On the other hand you can't produce all of your products in China and try to shame when they have higher co2 levels.

In the end anyone who has a cellphone supports climate change.
Exactly! I had the opportunity to both work in the academic field in Mexico and study in the UK and the difference of resources is abysmal: Access to Scopus, access to Elsevier and other editorials is something most researchers in Mexico can only dream about.
Public defenders have an adversarial relationship with police. They don't have to worry about pushback because the police were never going to help them anyways.

Public defenders also don't really have oversight of police. They might be able to get the evidence from a particular act thrown out of court, but they have no authority to levy any kind of punishment. They can't file charges against anyone, only the DA can.

I think this makes sense. Part of the issue is that the DA and the police work on the same team; there's a clear conflict of interest. They should also grant the power to file charges to a party without conflicts of interest, if there were any to begin with.
So even if we ignore for a minute that software can have warranties... having a warranty? Really? That's what you're going try to say means software development is not an engineering discipline? You could have just accepted my arguments with some grace. You don't expect me to dignify this with a response surely.

Coming from Europe, this is one of things I really dislike in the US. Products don’t have to have a warranty by law. You can find lots of subpar merchandise with 90d or even 14d warranty. And another issue, you have to deal with the manufacturer with warranty claims after some period (typically 2weeks, again, may differ).

Oh and a favorite trick is to have a mandatory warranty registration within X days from purchase and/or pay shipping one or two ways (which is easily $20 each way, depending on size and carrier)

So yah, you toss a lot of stuff at the end.
Heroku, yes I would push for that. Its expensive, but it'll save you an entire devop function right up til you hit the 30 people mark.

Elastic beanstalk is just a horrid dev environment. Lots of waiting, lots of non-obvious options, and very little reward. I would personally push for lambda and zappa (https://github.com/zappa/Zappa) for python, as it seems to be much easier to deploy and debug.
The absolute number of transactions is of little importance. Bitcoin moves around a billion+ dollars an hour. Ethereum is 1/10 of that. So Bitcoin is definitely #1 in terms of transacted value per day, which is the only important measure of adoption.

"fake fact check"

This, to me, is what's gone crazy about US politics. Facts are now considered political. Someone who is out and out spewing lies shouldn't be called on that, because my lies are as good as your facts and you're oppressing my politics if you label them that way.

I wish you luck with whatever you're trying to do, but these sites are little more than right wing safe-spaces where reality can be prevented from intruding. Their own policies (whether stated or just how they are acted upon) show that this is the case, and that the free speech angle is merely lip service.

(and where sites do, really, genuinely allow free speech, as mentioned before, they degenerate into places nobody normal really wants to be)
I recently made a trip through Poland, and, starting with a full tank of gas, I only needed to refuel the car once. But we still made 3 stops on the way, each being longer than 30 minutes. That's plenty of time to recharge an electric car. I think the issue would be that we'd never make it if all of the cars on the road were electric - a petrol pump can service far more cars hour than a tesla super charger.
>missed opportunities for creative solutions

This is what really hurts me, when you put a lot of overtime into a project and you come across so many unforseen opportunities that you won't be able to investigate further.

If I had the necessary staff for what I'm already doing I wouldn't be working after hours so much my damn self.

Now I know I'm not alone in a random org having nominal amounts of technical debt before I got there, but if I don't work harder than average to function around it, it will end up bugging me an average amount and that's too much for me.

One of these days I'm definitely going to take your advice and quit.

If you're capable of 5x progress under such nonideal conditions imagine what you could do without such a dysfunctional org.

Your comment really resonated with me. I love the feeling too and would set the alarm for even earlier just so I could snooze for longer. What I eventually realised though is that doing this really fucks with your last couple hours of sleep which would make me tired for the rest of the day.

What I do now if I crave that blissful "in bed" feeling is just go to bed ridiculously early, like 12 hours before actually having to get up. What I found is that laying in bed half awake 2 or 3 hours before I have to get up is ten times better than hitting the snooze button every 10 minutes.

Additionally I get out of bed actually feeling physically good now so I've got a lot more energy throughout the day. At first I would just sleep 10 to 12 hours, but after a while I'd start waking up naturally 7 to 8 hours after going to bed.

My girlfriend mentions that her ADHD meds (Concerta, or an off-license / cheaper alternative with the same active ingredients and slow release) act as a mood stabilizer more than anything. She's struggled with depression for ages, antidepressants or anything changing her hormones made her spiral downwards instead of make her feel better.

One thing to keep in mind is that it takes a few days for it to be fully effective (leftovers from the day before overlapping with the next dosage). Another thing is that if it doesn't seem to do anything, you may need a different dosage.

Another colleague diagnosed as an adult described the effect to be quite mind-blowing, as in, his head finally quieted down.

Anyway, nobody I know mentioned they feel like they are someone else. It helps them function and cope with daily life. The "ritalin changed my child into a mindless zombie" memes are over the top, or may imply they've been vastly over-medicated (although ritalin is short-acting, whereas concerta are slow release).

And finally, it's fine to take a medication break every once in a while, it does seem like you build up a tolerance to it.
I've had a similar experience like that. I too have bad social anxiety. It's like in my head I'm watching myself in a third-person view and imagining my response to different people in different scenarios even before doing that activity. Sometimes that third person view is of a person I know (or I am meeting) and I see how my responses or reactions are to the scenarios that might happen.

I've had this for like 5-6 years now and it is at an all time high right now. This constant wandering mind then brings me a lot of anxiety and questions over why did I think the way I did.

I also don't care what people think of me when I'm consciously thinking about the topic, yet I cannot explain this automatic response checking in my head.
Even though there is still a wire, that wire can be plugged in where it is, and not wrapped around a room.
OK, so you are both negatively affected by the bad status quo and at the same time rant against the people that try to change it. What is the point of that behavior? Why are you yourself not trying to help these people change the status quo?

Is this just supplementing NMN, NR, NAM? Genuinely curious what the DoD scientists found effective. In my limited research of this topic, I found that the body converts excess NMN/NR back to NAM. Most expensive supplements were NMN and easiest for the body to convert to NAD+. Next was NR and then finally NAM is the cheapest. I was using NMN for a while but that was getting pricey so I just take NAM since the body can convert it as required despite being a bigger molecule and a longer process to convert into NAD+. What have others here done?
Just an anecdote, but my wife, who typically wants me around, will kick me out of the house and force me to go to the gym. She claims I'm impossible to interact with if I haven't gotten enough exercise
No, they are far from the same. It's true that BTC mining is capital intensive, yet it is highly competitive and risky, and most miners get a decent profit, yet need to sell the vast majority of mined coins to run their operation. Miners can never move on some parabolic increase of wealth as the very protocol itself prevents this.

Rather, we should look at holders. Bitcoin is fair in the sense that it does not have rich get richer built in.

If I'm rich and own 1,000 BTC whilst some poor slum has 0.001 BTC, neither of us has an advantage within the protocol. The rich person does not get free extra coins just for owning lots, nor do they have any additional say anywhere within the protocol.

With PoS, just having lots of money means you get free new money, as well as an extra say in the protocol itself.

Further, you should speak of electricity consumption combined with the energy mix. Electricity consumption does not automatically translate into pollution.
I'm not saying it's the same for everyone, but I realized over the years one of the biggest reasons for my own depression was boredom and a lack of change.

I found the 'cure' for me was to reduce the amount of possessions I own to the bare minimum, and to travel (or even move) to a new city/country. (Obviously not as feasible these days, which will hopefully soon change...)

I find going to a new place and being stimulated by new surroundings, culture, food, learning how to get around, etc. always energizes me and makes me excited.

Maybe it's just distracting myself so I don't focus on my own mortality, but isn't that what most of life is anyway?

No, you're confecting outrage from whole cloth.

Stock photos have permission. As for the rest, you don't even know if the photos are being posted by the individuals in the picture themselves, you're merely looking for some way to justify your outrage.

Forget being humble. You aren’t a pro-athlete or an Olympian, you aren’t a rockstar, composer or a lean surfer that people fawn over.

You have a contribution to society that provides for you, just say what that is and your area of competence.

The humble approach offered you no utility at that point in time, when boisterous confidence would have.
But then you loose so many features of C++. Can't have aggregates anymore since everything needs private constructors -> more code -> more bugs.

Each possible contructor now needs a matching static method.

Can't put things in standard containers unless you rewrite all copy / move contructors (and you didn't forget to mark your move constructor noexcept, did you ?).

What happens when you have classes with more than 3 members ? Constructors with 12 arguments ? That's unambiguously terrible, and does not even save you from exceptions coming from C++ itself.

If 79% of surveyed C++ projects can use exceptions (https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2020/cpp/), likely so can you.
At the moment the policy is "If there are ways to circumvent the paywall, it's OK to post", but yeah it seems to be a recurring annoyance.
Pip is fine, it depends on your goals. I've found requirements.txt less enjoyable to maintain for several reasons – you need to separate dev, test dependencies on your own time, there's no notion of a lockfile for transitive dependencies (`pip freeze` notably doesn't separate actual dependencies from transitive dependencies). pip is also darn slow at installing dependencies once you hit a certain scale, and poetry outperforms it pretty substantially.

Poetry does I expect a package manager to do, and does it well, especially when working with a team of developers on an application versus individually. There's not a compelling reason for me to use pip directly as a less functional alternative.
