I read recently of a paper that proposed a mechanism for information conservation during black hole evaporation. The model was that information was preserved within the black hole on some layer that was not destroyed, and the information was subsequently released as the black hole evaporated.

I am not a physicist but the Hawking model that black holes destroy information always struck me as an asymmetry. Apparently that asymmetry also motivated some researchers who know more than me.

Is there actually evidence for the conservation of information? I'm not even sure what information refers to within this context, but the writeup on the paper I read used that term.

I have toyed with the idea that the anthropic principle doesn't just rely on chance events on really long time scales. If indeed information is indestructible, the universe could be in a birth-death cycle of refinement, where it orders information in ways to increase self-awareness each cycle.
Nothing new here. We are all stockpiling components because we have no idea what the market will look like in the coming months, and that is causing further market distortions.

However, one of the largest triggers for this madness was the miscalculation by the car industry that had an effect on a large portion of chip factories.

Even the comment linked in the parent acknowledges that it's not all about car manufacturing, it's the ensuing madness (that they caused in large part) that is making it worse.

Your comment clashes directly with the reality of multiple car plants closing or slowing down considerably due to the shortage.

'World’s largest floating wind farm’ takes a step forward
> when the entire market goes up everybody makes "money"

But they don't. They make "potential" money as in "if I sold now, I'd have $x more than before I bought the stock". But if all stock holders actually sold, the price would quickly plummet.

So it's not possible to actually realize the full valuation as cash without literally printing money somewhere.

I think it's important not to conflate actual and potential value. Otherwise you could also argue that lottery tickets are a great investment because you can instantly turn a few dollars into a million.
Most places I have worked had zero agreed standards. It wasn’t a problem at all. And people didn’t waste their time getting into fights about how to interpret the “agreed standards” or policing it. Great!

To query the URI of your tokens through your contract, you need to interact with its ABI through code; alternatively, you can upload the ABI to Etherscan, which will provide a UI to query it.

You can use the URI to store base64 encoded image or svg data, and that is super cool; but will be too expensive for larger images, at which point you will link to an IPFS-hosted url.
> Examples of things that traditional finance enables that connect to the real world:

An end goal of crypto is to have all financial and ownership services exist on-chain. To conceptualize the real world as somehow forever separate is going to lead to the correct conclusion that DeFi doesn't seem to affect "the real world".

> - Get a student loan (you get an education)

Requires identification.

> - Get a car loan (you get a car)

Requires identification.

> - Get a home loan (you get a house)

Requires identification.

> - Insure your car or home (perhaps including insurance in finance is a bit broad, but I think it's appropriate)

Requires identification.

> - Have some claim on the future cash flows of a company that makes real things (public equities)

Doesn't necessarily require identification. There are cryptos looking to tokenize and fractionalize public/private equities. The equity would exist on chain, not on the private ledgers of banks/clearing houses/brokers/the NASDAQ. You would own your equity via a private key, and not by the say so of Fidelity (e.g.) and the government.

You've listed three types of loans that require you to have some form of identity which allows for the existence of credit/reputation. Until crypto has a functional decentralized identity ((which is being worked on by many)[1], and even has a (W3C draft)[2]) and government recognition, you will likely not see traditional lending products. Doesn't mean it isn't possible.

Insurance also requires identification for reputational purposes, but less for enforcing payments and more for measuring risk.

Crop insurance is a popular use case being investigated for poor rural areas to get insurance. Remember, traditional finance requires massive human capital infrastructure, general civil infrastructure, and minimized governmental corruption to ensure debt repayment occurs. It's may be easier bootstrap insurance from a decentralized network/blockchain + satellite internet, for certain communities.

I'm not sure why people keep bringing up Jeff Bezos when he's not longer CEO at Amazon. Sure he has a vested stake in the company but it's still an annoying statement.
I think we’re on the same page. My primary point was that we don’t need a 100% perfect solution for autonomous driving to make sense.

From a regulatory perspective, I do think that a system that results in a ‘net savings of human life’ should be permitted, even though removing the human from the equation would likely change the distribution of driving deaths, such that some people (like exceptionally careful drivers) may be marginally more likely to die in such a system. Those people should of course have the choice to drive themselves.

From the perspective of an individual, a ‘net savings of human life’ may not be a good enough threshold. I personally would not want to put my child in a self-driving car unless I felt confident that it was safer than driving myself, and the knowledge that the AI was “statistically better than the average driver” would not instill sufficient confidence.
Apparently we are overpaying Bezos for our bandwidth and storage costs, as well!

By that logic, and seeing how far more people are killed by police than police officers are killed by people, anyone getting arrested would have a better claim to be at risk of death.

How much better? According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_law_enforcement_office..., twenty police officers were killed by assailants in 2020.

The list of people killed by the US police isn't a single article, unfortunately. It's a list for every month of every year. Here's January 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_killings_by_law_enforc...

It's 93 deaths for that month. For the year, it's 632.

I often don’t click the article because long form writing on the web is increasingly a shitshow.

Clicking a random link is a barrage of ads, paywalls, and intrusive noise. If not that, the long form writing has been engineered with frontmatter to optimize SEO. So often the actual meat is a few sentences that require scanning paragraphs to find. Not to mention the general issues with web apps: poor progressive loading and bad design.

Hacker news is simple and fast. The comments offer a consistent, easier to read experience with the comments usually more insightful than the usual noise in the article itself.

Maybe the new motto of the web should be “Whatever you do don’t read the articles”

Don't assume they don't. Most platforms not only enable multiple forms of security, you even get rewards if you choose better security. I use an exchange the uses double security, meaning you have 20 seconds to verify via email and 2FA, and on top of that the logins, withdrawals and transfers all have sperate passwords..and your able to rate limit them based on time periods.

Most of the knew jerk reactions in here really don't see to know very much about how this actually works and how it's actually the users responsibility at the end of the day.

From the documentation page on remote access

For headless setup, SSH can be enabled by placing a file named ssh, without any extension, onto the boot partition of the SD Card. When the Raspberry Pi boots, it looks for the ssh file. If it is found, SSH is enabled and the file is deleted.

> There is no way in hell there is that much of a skew in merit across gender and race boundaries.

It’s the long pipeline. Bias from 30 or 40 years ago determined who got a chance to earn executive experience and build connections to become qualified to hold a board seat today.

We should expect effectiveness, not fairness, from meritocracy, because merit was often not fostered fairly and much potential went undeveloped.
> That’s nice, but clearly not how the majority of the purchasing departments work right now, correct?

The question was about what the company can do, talking about external constraints, so I don't really care how purchasing departments work for that topic.

For smaller companies, yes. Except the argument was that smaller companies could get them already, while Amazon would exhaust the world supply.

Once we move into the realm of companies that make their own markets, it doesn't matter what "most people" do. Those companies can make their own choices and get whatever they want made.
I don't really consider quicklisp to be "great package management" since you have to download it, install it, then load it. And don't forget to modify your sbcl init script to load it automatically for you. It felt quite cumbersome to get started using it, even though it was simple enough after that. Rust has truly great package management in my opinion. I run one command to install Rust and I immediately have access to all crates in crates.io.

> It has an owner. Its copyright belongs to the photographer who took it - Dave Roth, father of Zoë Roth, the girl in the picture. If you ever see it reproduced in a newspaper article you’ll see him credited.

Note that we casually may call him the owner, but having certain legal claims such as copyright is not the same thing as the legal concept of ownership.

This is relevant, because pointing to a picture on the wall saying "yeah, that is an original Disaster Girl print" is a very different social flex than saying "I am the artist of this well-known photograph". The latter doesn't really need nor benefit from an authenticated digital print on the creators wall; of course the artist can print dozens of copies and they are all authenticated.

For Dave Roth to sell the the copyright or certain license rights to the image is just such an entirely different transaction that I am not sure why NFT critics keep mixing them up.

To look cool carrying around a device that has the dimensions of a normal tablet but the processing power of a wish.com tablet. I'd much rather just carry a phone and a ultra portable laptop around than this stupid thing. Many companies tried to sell these kinds of devices back in the early 2000s but they never sold well because they sucked. They didn't have the power of a normal laptop and we're only marginally better than the smartphones of the time. What is this supposed to replace? It's not going to replace a modern smartphone and certainly doesn't have enough power to replace a laptop or even a flagship tablet. These are neat toys but that's really all they are.
