The idea in blockchain gaming is that the NFT is the in-game item. An NFT would represent that powerful weapon, not the picture of the weapon, and the game would look at the blockchain to understand what items you own. The game can use any image it wants to represent that item, and other games may choose to display them differently. If I sell the NFT to someone, I no longer have access to that item in any game but the buyer does.

In this situation, the NFT does come with usage rights (like a license) and isn’t the same as selling a picture of your house.
The game devs I know are gonna go direct the chains.

I just said that it's severely overstating the case.

> In any case claiming that Apple is somehow at fault for not adopting Vulkan doesn't make sense.

Why not? They could have adopted Mantle instead, for example. It came out a year earlier. Or it could have replaced Metal with Vulkan later (as it is often a reasonable choice to replace your custom solution with the industry's standard). Or it could have chosen to officially support Vulkan alongside it.

Apple has lots of money in the bank, and with that, lots of options.

So what does it look like? Seriously, lay it on me friend, I'd love to discover that I'm just out of the loop.

I beg to differ. Gabe Brown's farm isn't a "failed experiment"; Village Homes was sold out before it was finished being built, it still exists, and there's a waiting list to get in; Geoff Lawton is very successful, he has projects all over the world and hundreds of students (e.g. "Greening the Desert" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VGHoxpYlWQ ); Robert and Robyn Guyton’s "amazing 23-year-old food forest" isn't a "failed experiment"; so what are you on about?

I'm not sure what the eventual fate of the Integral Urban House was (for all I know it's still there) but it was certainly not a "failed experiment" either. It showcased working patterns.

As for transplanting it to Amazonian Brazil as-is, that doesn't even make sense, it's an urban house, eh?

> These people are poor and just trying to feed their families. In fact I have a hard time envisioning any of these approaches working outside of relatively lush geographies nestled in wealthy countries with a deep store of knowledge and the culture to support adroit changes in near and long term policy.

Here's a DDG search link for "brazil permaculture" if you want to find out more: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=brazil+permaculture&atb=v60-1&ia=w...

And if you're talking about the indigenous peoples of Brazil there's a lot of evidence that they were already practicing what we now call "food forests". In other words, they were (and some still are) already living in environmentally harmonious ways. If they hadn't been then there wouldn't have been forest there to destroy, eh?

Anyway, my point isn't that this ecological revolution isn't happening, my question is why isn't it happening faster, since living in harmony with Nature is both fulfilling and more economical?
Hi Jake! (I watch your videos ;))
Many times, the (Angular) ServiceWorker has given us CORS headaches on various requests to our APIs and AWS storage files.
The only method we've found, after various AWS configs and ngsw-config.json attempts, was to add `ngsw-bypass=true` to all requests.
I'll see if I can find the Github issue, where this has come up before.

Incidentally, while you're here, I'm planning on building something which will require use of SharedArrayBuffer. Will adding the (now) required Cross-Origin isolation COOP/COEP headers cause any issues to existing CORS setups?

Sure, being unconnected is a disadvantage, but that doesn't mean it's one we should fight against. Having referrals and a network means you're not just a good coder, you are someone other people are willing to stand up for - that's a real world advantage in someone you hire. Ignoring that out of some sense of "fair" (if it's even "fair") would be a bad idea.
In this space people tend to have a main game and customer retention is a significant part of revenue. So making your game compatible with a competitor such that they could easily walk away would work against your best interests. Otherwise these co-marketing activities would already exist since there is no inherent need for a blockchain to implement them. A soft example of this is games that include characters from other games.

A lot of these suggestions fall foul of the same problem that they offer a great deal for the customer but not for the game maker. Which whilst altruistic is rather naive to commercial reality.

A value add model like the Amiibo would work better but again is predicated on developers actually capturing some revenue from supporting it.

I'd press your claim of efficiency. As we are learning now, efficiency (in the JIT sense of the word) and robustness are a single sliding scale. Our global supply chain was a wonder of human achievement until it hit a snag, and now it's a complete mess.

Using Amazon as an example - the larger they've grown, they've actually become less trustworthy and a worse experience for consumers. Amazon has been stricken with all the negative traits that American culture associates with "big" government - bad user experience, bloat, fraud, and arbitrary bureaucracy. I've naturally found myself wanting to use them less and less, the larger they've gotten.

I definitely had a naive little image in my mind of how things would be, but I see where you're coming from. I think one of the things that would push monetization techniques like the ones you mentioned would be if the hardware doesn't have enough compute power to process video, audio, etc. Having to be tethered to a cloud would make it more feasible to do those sorts of intrusive things, ie how Alexa picks up audio but Amazon servers process it.

Although speculative cyberpunk is usually dystopic and oppressive, it fascinates me how much of those predictions have come through or are in the process of occurring. I think the major breaking point will be climate refugees moving toward cities, which could lead to megacities, which have notoriously been imagined as highly populated by an impoverished class of people.

Thanks for the little dose of reality. I hope we can nudge our future by starting these sorts of conversations.
Amazon's search is so bad that it's almost certainly intentional in order to get customers to look at more products. This is a great example of them using their monopoly power to increase their revenue to the detriment of consumers.

For an idea of what it could be, try the search on electronic component distributor sites like Digikey[1] and Newark[2]. They are both improving their search in order to attract more customers benefiting all customers in the process.

Try to find a 34 inch 1080p monitor with both VGA and DisplayPort inputs on Amazon and you'll find yourself reading hundreds of monitor product pages. If Amazon had serious competition you could probably find and buy one in 5 or 6 clicks, or easily determine that such a combination of features doesn't exist.

> their mandate is make money for its owners,

Isn't this pretty much the description of every company? I understand feduciary responsibilities blah blah, but if the company didn't think they could do both then they wouldn't be running the legitimate buisness. If it was started to intentionally dupe people that's an entirely different thing.
Charging for monthly instead of yearly after trial ends is something you can push to production in half an hour. Don't try to weasel out in front of technical audience. Liar.
I don't buy this 'against bigness' argument at all, similar to the 'surveillance capitalism' critiques of Zuboff that are so popular. The central thesis is just plain wrong. Large tech firms aren't (most of the time) rent-seekers. They're competitive and innovative, and centralization is not prohibiting innovation, it's enabling it because in our information-based systems the limit to how large an effective institution can be has gone up. Aggregation of data improves efficiency. We have enabled a much larger degree of planning.

Arguing for trust-busting to solve our problems to me sounds like arguing for a return to artisanal-craftsmanship when faced with the negative effects of modern capitalism. The issues may be identified correctly, the solution is anachronistic and going into the wrong direction.

Instead of attempting to returning to some anarchy of an idealized free-market and opposing large corporations and government, which effectively just means you're going to be sidelined and irrelevant, the goal needs to be to figure out how these big tech mega-structures can be aligned with the interests of the public.

Google isn't a robber baron, the analogies just fail. The only thing they're robbing are other industry oligarchs while users get everything for free.
> "biased reference counts" and is described in this paper by Jiho Choi et al. With this scheme, the reference count in each object is split in two, with one "local" count for the owner (creator) of the object and a shared count for all other threads

> The interpreter's memory allocator has been replaced with mimalloc

These are very similar ideas!

Mimalloc is notable for its use of separate local and remote free lists, where objects that are being freed from a different thread than the page’s heap’s owner are placed in a separate queue. The local free list is (IIRC) non-atomic until it is empty and local allocs start pulling from the remote queue.

The general idea is clearly lazy support for concurrency, matching up perfectly with Python’s need to keep any single threaded perf it has. I’m impressed with the application of all of these things at once.
Yeah, it's a bummer because that is maybe the only factor that would prevent me from buying it despite:

Interesting, I hadn't heard of Dokku before (looks similar to Flynn and Deis (looked into those back in 2016 before k8s was the de facto choice) but still actively developed) and I overlooked Lightsail.

I looked into sxmo and I think it falls clearly into the "clever hack" category and not in the "actually usable" category. There is only so far you can get on a touchscreen device without actually programming any of the apps to support touch. The lack of hardware acceleration in anything X related is also basically going to ensure that it always has poor performance, everything needs to be moved to use GLES based rendering.
Pokémon GO functions as a self-recording GPS and Robinhood's financial records could produce circumstantial evidence of embezzlement, corporate espionage, and/or insider trading.

These scams existed long before crypto. But, crypto currencies are a better solution to international money transfers so of course they became the preferred currencies for these scams.

Great link, summarizing recent research showing strong post-vaccination long-term B cell response.

Then Twitter surfaces a recent breakthrough infection study among 620k US veterans in the "More Tweets" section: https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1448815262522773520 After six months from initial vaccination (Mar-Aug) the J&J vaccine appears to have zero (!) VE against infection. Pfizer is holding at a modest 53% against infection. Worse, the curve has the same shape as J&J, merely 2 months delayed.

In spite of very promising cellular and molecular studies, I am left scratching my head: are the vaccines any good at preventing infection in the long term, where we define long term as a few years down the road? The question is somewhat rhetorical, as we don't have epi studies from 2025 yet.

PS. I am more than happy to make a distinction between infection and severe infection. The main reason I pay attention to VE against infection are vaccine mandates and the whole stigma buildup against unvaccinated people.

PS2. > the flu vaccine, which for some reason doesn't attract the same sort of criticism.

People are free to get or not get a flu vaccine. Not getting a covid vaccine means loss of livelihood, loss of basic liberties and social ostracism.

Some of us who like crypto also knew it was bullshit.
Israel still has pretty low vaccination rate (less than 70%) while it has completed most of their vaccination earlier this year. Vaccine's effectiveness wanes over time, so this simply proves that they just need a booster shot.

Singapore recently dropped their zero COVID strategy so it's expected to see some rising numbers. Vaccine is not supposed to eliminate virus, but keep their reproduction under control so our health care system won't explode. Why do you think it's a counter example for vaccine's effectiveness?
I decided not to learn k8s because I really think something should be coming soon to replace it (or hide it). Kind of like how DistBelief became Tensorflow, but now we have keras and other friendly NN libraries on top.

Deferred type annotations with `from __future__ import annotations` are a game-changer IMO. You can use them 3.7, which is good enough for me. The big improvement in 3.9 is not having to use `typing.*` for a lot of basic data types.

The biggest improvements between 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10 are in `asyncio`, which was pretty rough in 3.7 and very usable in 3.9. I use the 3rd-party `anyio` library in a lot of cases anyway (https://anyio.readthedocs.io/), but it's not always feasible.

His wife works in the addictology dpt. The first beds that were sacrificed for covid patient were hers. The lockdowns made it worse. As addicts were considered not real emergencies, they stopped calling ex-patients, put all nurses in standby and repurposed the medical personnel of her department.

> Isn't there a lot of money lost in between all those steps?

Very low, perhaps. Each bot cost $5 in order to trade. That's an upfront cost, and can be reduced if they buy their asset flip. A certain number of Steam keys can be generated free by the developer. Asset flip games might be near free, depending on the assets. Developer accounts cost money, but again that's upfront. Bots can farm in VMs. There's money "lost" on Steam and gray market trades, but that money never really existed. Yes, it takes lots of time, but it's automated and scales decently.

Any evidence for this? To me it seems like people care much more about homeless women even though most homeless are men, they care more about womens suicides even though men kill themselves more, they care more about when women get murdered even though men get murdered more etc.

People care more about white people than black people, yes. People care more about cis than trans, yes. But I have seen no evidence at all that people care more about men than women.
