Surely this insults the definition of "coin", which must surely possess some level of fungibility, if not availability for general circulation. If you cast a single circle of metal in some unique pattern for some arcane financial purpose, then ceremonially transfer it to someone who cannot pass it on (because no one would accept it) - you have not, properly speaking, made a "coin" have you?

At least I can multiply numbers on BSV and fees are like 100.000 times lower then BTC fees. All thanks to Craig Wright. Guys, don't listen to the bullshit from nullc, he has a serious mental illness and is super pissed because Craig trolled him many times.

It is a huge problem in our industry. I have had people quit because of or be fired on a whim of a boneheaded slavedriver who couldn't explain what an API is if their own life depended on it. The banking industry if probably the worst for overblown egos of non-technical managers (who are proud of being non-technical) and their incompetence.
I would have been surprised even as recently as ten years ago. Now, I am not. American society has been fractured for quite some time, and is only growing more fractured, exactly because of how easy it is in the current political climate and with current technology
I guess some people may still want to host. At least if the community is still as good as when I used to host. Personally I'm sceptical that it is, and not going to pay to find out. I'd rather support the newcomers on Couchers.org and the like.
Sure. And if your game has civilians, rappers, pop stars, people on the beach, gangsters, etc, then it makes sense for the women to have revealing outfits.

When your characters are space marines, monks, mages, armored knights, etc, and all the men have practical outfits and the women all have D-cups and tons of exposed skins, it says something about the mentality of the creators.

And sure, maybe some women are fine with that. That's okay. I'm not begrudging anybody for buying those figurines.

But I wouldn't mind if we as a culture could move away from character designs that look like they came from an horny 16-yo. Do like Overwatch, explore other archetypes and body types.

No, they don’t care. It’s merely a political weapon they use to hurt their opposition. There’s no strategy beyond signaling to their base.
> Why is that a problem?

Because there's a bunch of jobs important to society that won't get done. To be clear, it's okay that some people decide not to work. The problem is that currently, too many people are deciding not to work. If we eventually automate a bunch of low-skill jobs away, then I'd agree that it wouldn't be a problem anymore.

In simple terms, if someone has uploaded a picture of a cat to a non-public Freenet key, and someone downloaded it, both you and I have no way to learn about it unless we can spy on those users or flood the network with spying nodes to the point of logging each piece of data, and deducing that these two people exchanged something. Even theoretically, we can only make assumptions about publicly announced data (freesites and message systems), and then try to estimate the proportion of communication that happens in the dark.

And people often make wrong assumptions.
Many shops are optimized to make the kind of thinking and organization described in the article impossible. They keep throwing developers into fire after fire, leaving no time for any reflection and growth. I was surprised to see several representatives of this camp pop up on in the comments here.

If as an engineer these people give you the creeps, remember, you don't have to work for them. If you do currently work for someone like that, you can get out and keep your sanity. The best places to work are not sweatshops.

That's the thing: It doesn't have to pay off and it doesn't have to generate revenue. That's not its goal. It is not a business model.

If we want good content und independence from YouTube, perhaps it is time to see, that it might cost us a tiny bit of money each month, to uphold our freedom. One rented server can easily support many users, each of those can chip in to finance renting the server. It can be done transparently, so that users always know what they are paying for and how much is covered already for the month. It is time to learn, that we need to support what we like financially, so that people can actually live from providing us with it. As long as we do not do so, people can only provide us with their creations by generating revenue in other ways.
in my area I have seen low wage jobs like McDonald's and stocking shelves advertised at 12$ before the pandemic, I now see them publicly advertising starting at 14/15 and even 18$ for the super market.

from the outside looking in. it does appear to have gone up a little in those jobs, but it doesn't appear to have gone up in any other job (like mine)

Let me guess, at some point you were thoroughly russianed.
because decentralized systems need to redundantly store data, a lot. Youtube accounts for, depending on the source 15% of global internet traffic.

The reason you can watch videos at 1080p wherever you are in the world buffer free is because the system is ridiculously optimized, cached locally, and so on. Do you want to go back to 180p because one of the two guys hosting that five year old video with 50k views you liked just went offline?

The formula is not unknown. Each vaccine must write what it has in the paperwork they have to present in the FDA and similar agencies in other countries. Also, anyone with a chromatographer can verify it. A chromatographer is too expensive for a single person, but it's cheap for any lab in a university or chemical factory, so a lot of people can get a sample and verify it. Looking at the info in the mRNA is more difficult, but it has been done, for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26628233 I'm not sure if someone has sequence any of the vaccines with vector virus, but I think it has a similar difficulty.

There are three families of vaccines:

* mRNA (Moderna, Pfiser, ...)

* vector virus (AstraZeneca, Janssen, Sputnik, ...)

* inactivated virus (Sinopharm, Sinovac)

Complete list: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuna_contra_la_COVID-19#Esta...

Some explanation: https://www.who.int/news-room/feature-stories/detail/the-rac...

Not all are available and recognized in all countries, but if you prefer old proven technology, you can probably an inactivated virus one. (It may be less effective. Ask your medical doctor.) I think mRNA is very promising to make vaccines for rare or local illness in the future, but perhaps I'm too optimistic.

Anyway, I recommend to read the articles about vaccines in https://www.science.org/blogs/pipeline He is not working in vaccines, but he worked in the pharmacological industry.

Though this is technically impressive, the continued pretending of "personalization" is pretty disgusting to me.

Why not just be explicit that it's automated? Because people don't like that. So we automate anyway and pretend. It's just sad.

Reminds me of the deep-fakes that are becoming popular that allow you to "personalize" video messages. I'm curious of OP had any moral qualms about deceiving people, and I ask this with complete sincerity and with no desire to downplay the (technical) impressiveness of the project.

Those comments aside, and in the interest of having a more productive, positive comment - I'll say that if the machine described could be miniaturized sufficiently - it, combined with some deep learning could be nice for those who are losing the ability to properly write.
> No I do put most of the blame on conservatives. They're the ones who aren't taking vaccines or wearing masks.

My comment was about how, if this statement is true, you mostly skipped over it in favor of asking for action out of non-conservatives.
Fine. Leave it on, but point the camera/mic at another screen/sound playing horror films or the Barney theme song on infinite repeat. Maybe an image of text calling the principal and school board out by name. There's all sorts of ways to make this painful for the people watching it. Just needs a little creativity instead of shrugging the shoulders and complaining on the internet. Take steps to protect your kids. They are your kids, not the school's.

Also, vote the dumbasses on the school board out next term. Vote in people running against this.
There is one aspect that helps with this in certain cultures, namely grandparents. Grandparents are usually thrilled to spend time with young grandchildren.

This is an age old mechanism that mostly alleviates two problems simultaneously - old age care, and the two working parents situation.

The other option (which also works nearly as well) is what other commentators mentioned - European style subsidized childcare/old age support.

The USA shuns the first culturally (I get strange looks from people when I say I am happy working and living with my parents), and shuns the second culturally as well as politically. Some awareness/willingness to learn from history/other cultures would fix that, but I am not holding my breath.

The article is about private companies being paid to do it by NASA. Would these particular companies be doing it if NASA wasn't paying for it? Probably not.

I think the first purely commercial missions to the Moon are likely to be tourism. These particular companies are a long way away from being able to transport people – as opposed to scientific experiments. SpaceX is much closer. Blue Origin and Dynetics also have a chance, but I doubt they will be able to compete against SpaceX in the lunar tourism market unless they can drop their costs significantly.
If I see this being done within my lifetime I know now which HN poster to blame

So you are telling me that it is hard to find out if running a Freenet node will help criminals, or decent people.

That does not really do much to convince me running it is a good thing, you know?
Personally, as a writer and game designer, I find most emergent narrative is actually simulation, and the ones that work depend on the players imagination injecting meaning into the game events. Another version is basically just social media, with game rules and a sandbox aspect. That’s cool, and it can pay off massively, but narrative just feels like a strange word for it. World of natural consequences without imposed meaning seems a better fit, although it’s a mouth full. In tabletop games, we just call them sandboxes

People wish sometimes that video game ai could keep up with a good game master - but then again, you would lose the fun of hanging out with friends in person
Mellanox was bought by nVidia 2 years ago, so while it's technically accurate to say it's an nVidia card, that elides their history. Mellanox has been selling networking cards to the supercomputing market since 1999. Netflix absolutely had to do some tuning of various counters/queues/other settings in order to optimize for their workload and get the level of performance they're reporting here, but Mellanox sells NICs with firmware/drivers that work out-of-the-box.
It is stupid. Previous authors published in the Lancet did call for suppression of debate and facts. From the first sentence of the parent article:

On July 5, 2021, a Correspondence was published in The Lancet called “Science, not speculation, is essential to determine how SARS-CoV-2 reached humans”. The letter recapitulates the arguments of an earlier letter (published in February, 2020) by the same authors, which claimed overwhelming support for the hypothesis that the novel coronavirus causing the COVID-19 pandemic originated in wildlife. The authors associated any alternative view with conspiracy theories by stating: “We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin”. The statement has imparted a silencing effect on the wider scientific debate, including among science journalists.

The 2/20 letter stated:

The rapid, open, and transparent sharing of data on this outbreak is now being threatened by rumours and misinformation around its origins. We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.

These are the scientists who wanted to deny facts: Charles Calisher, Dennis Carroll, Rita Colwell, Ronald B Corley, Peter Daszak, Christian Drosten, Luis Enjuanes, Jeremy Farrar, Hume Field, Josie Golding, Alexander Gorbalenya, Bart Haagmans, James M Hughes, William B Karesh, Gerald T Keusch, Sai Kit Lam, Juan Lubroth, John S Mackenzie, Larry Madoff, Jonna Mazet, Peter Palese, Stanley Perlman, Leo Poon, Bernard Roizman, Linda Saif, Kanta Subbarao, Mike Turner

The above statement may sound mild-mannered to a lay person but it had greater import and effect, as outlined by this BMJ article, "The covid-19 lab leak hypothesis: did the media fall victim to a misinformation campaign?" [https://www.bmj.com/content/374/bmj.n1656]

Scientists and reporters contacted by The BMJ say that objective consideration of covid-19’s origins went awry early in the pandemic, as researchers who were funded to study viruses with pandemic potential launched a campaign labelling the lab leak hypothesis as a “conspiracy theory.”

A leader in this campaign has been Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, a non-profit organisation given millions of dollars in grants by the US federal government to research viruses for pandemic preparedness.1 Over the years EcoHealth Alliance has subcontracted out its federally supported research to various scientists and groups, including around $600 000 (£434 000; €504 000) to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Shortly after the pandemic began, Daszak effectively silenced debate over the possibility of a lab leak with a February 2020 statement in the Lancet. “We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that covid-19 does not have a natural origin,” said the letter, which listed Daszak as one of 27 coauthors. Daszak did not respond to repeated requests for comment from The BMJ.
Freenet's default feature is HTML sites - just like the regular web but fully hosted on Freenet and only accessible through it.

The content of those sites is whatever their authors want it to be :)

Further, dynamic applications such as forums are also available. Here's a list of apps built on top of Freenet: https://github.com/freenet/wiki/wiki/Projects

Freenet needs UDP so it likely won't work on Tails as Tails tunnels everything through Tor - which does not support UDP AFAIK.
This is exactly what naive AI art will reveal: that most human art is cliche ridden and derivative.

By naive AI art I mean just using it blindly to generate something that imitates X, or generating random art-like output.

There’s another potential angle to AI and art though. Humans could use AI as a tool to make art just as they have with electronic oscillators, photographic film, 3D renderers, etc. People once decried electronic music and photography as “not real art” too, so I assume some will say the same of anything using AI.

Personally I think AI as a rendering tool could be fascinating. The artist would be a little like a DJ cueing up patterns and themes, but you could get way more sophisticated than you can with mixing tracks and could do things other than music.
Personally, I enjoy both, equally, at different times.

Anecdotally in our area I've seen this, with high speed crashes in pedestrian areas (residential and small city streets) where the speeds were grossly inappropriate. In one case I recall the driver was sleep deprived; another was drag racing. Drag racing seems much more common in the entire region than I ever remember before.
That’s what all you earthlings say :P
I particularly don’t believe that it is possible to have a spec which does a good enough job of explaining what is needed that the implementor doesn’t need to know why. I’ve certainly never encountered such a thing, and all of the best specs I’ve worked with explain the why as well. It’s like claiming that your code doesn’t need any comments saying why things are done because you can see what is happening.

Sorta related to round black bombs: I recently watched The Spy Who Loved Me, and realized that this is where I got the idea that grenades aren’t thrown like baseballs; instead, you gotta do a kinda straight-armed huck over your shoulder. Not sure if that grenade throw is grounded in reality, or just a thing that war movies made up.

The "irony" here is that it's frackers who are going to drill the geothermal wells. If they start seeing clearly, they'll realize that green energy could mean a juicy paycheck.

To paraphrase your comment:

"No, it's never going to be the Year of Mercedes on the Highways.

Right now all the Mercedes models together can't crack 2.5% of the motor vehicle market."

(It makes no difference who drives a Mercedes and who drives a Ford, or a Pontiac, or a Volkswagen, or a Skoda, or a BMW, or a Lamborghini. One is just as useful as another. It's pointless arguing about such irrelevant trivia. Ditto for Windows, Linux and OSX.)

As opposed to the artist that dropped buckets of paint from a bridge onto a canvas and called it abstract art.
