As an artist I don't like NFT concept at all.

This is just another gaming "UX" (cards, skins, features) for kids created from scammers.

The digital realm has a function - to be connected to reality, to enhance and give communication channels.

Yes, someone within "NFT Realm" will "get lucky" and capitalize, but this applies to almost anything.

I invest in a different art future, the old one.
Where genuine skills and materials create uniqueness for ultimate value - for the real world.
Regarding binary size: If one can use dynamic linking, should we link the library statically? What if static linking can provide performance improvement (LTO for example, if you compile the library from source)? If the user is concerned about updating dependencies, what if the program is open source and they can update the dependencies freely and recompile it?

And as scripting languages like Python and JS becomes popular, do we just consider the binary size for bloatware? What about their dependencies?

I answered a similar question here[1]. The economic value of art has historically been tied to the scarcity of access to its media. NFT presents an alternative paradigm that separates the signature (artist-signed token) from the artistic media (image, GIF, conceptual art project, etc), allowing the former to remain scarce & uniquely transferable while the latter remains abundant & widely accessible.

The key is on the console (not server side). Historically either they made some silly choices or there was a hardware bug or glitch that let you read out the key that the processor has to be able to access to decrypt the firmware.

Search YouTube for fail0verflow and there are some great CCC talks very approachable and understandable about how it was done on other consoles historically.

I see your point, but I think history doesn't care about merit. Even if he was only the best phone seller in history, selling phone has become so important in our times that this achievement would still make him a historical figure IMO.

Also, definitely not sure about Woz. He would probably have found a nice job, sure, but it's a far stretch to say he would have revolutionized as many industries as Apple did.
To be fair, the parent is not talking about the editor but rather its configuration language. Indeed, there have been attempts to replace elisp with other languages, such as Scheme (guile) and Common Lisp.
>Not going to join your Discord "server" when I don't even know anything about your community.

Why not? It's just as easy to join a discord server as to visit a site. If you don't have a Discord account already you can just type something random for your nickname.
I wondered what they have meant when they said "Provides especially clear text quality (via our text-specialized rendering methodology)".

Looking at their README [1], it looks to be texture filtering done a little more properly (many implementation cheaps out with bilinear interpolation, I guess). It does get rid of the aliasing artifacts, but it's still very blurry, and the look is a bit underwhelming.

What I really look forward to is getting text and vector rendering done directly in the perspective transformed space, something Pathfinder [2] has demonstrated before.

This. I help moderate for the community surrounding Obsidian.md. We have a discourse forum, a subreddit, and a discord. The discord is by far the easiest place to actually get help — and not because the forum isn't active (it is) but because it's real-time and there's always someone around.

Whenever I have to go find a forum for a product I'm using that doesn't have a discord, I have to twiddle my thumbs for a day before maybe getting asked a clarifying question.

Sure, there's a "static knowledge base" but in my experience, most search features suck for figuring out if something has already been asked before, but at least discord doesn't make you feel dumb for not having found the old relevant thing already. Plus, it's a lot harder than it used to be when I was active on jcink boards to actually trawl all the new content (a problem for me because I write the community newsletter every week — consistently the one thing I don't actually read all of is the forum. I'm able to keep up with everything else, including twitter).

I understand the value of threading, but don't underestimate the value of linear, chronological thought, either. As a moderator, there's a lot of emotional relief in being able to be sure that I saw everything, and didn't miss a new comment in a thread I stopped reading a week ago.

With an NFT you own a token with a link to a resource, but the perception is that you own an actual artwork. Think is, the artwork (e.g. a jpg) can be copied an infinite amount of times. So the baseball card analogy falls short, at least as far as the posession of an actual item.
In the short term, I think it's going to be a lot harder than this article lets on, but long term, it is abundantly clear: cushy developer jobs in the US are on borrowed time. Salaries may continue to go up for a little while longer, but they will fall to reflect the rest of the world catching up with the US. And that's a scary prospect for those under 35 now. And I don't think there's a way out of it. We embrace remote, but at the cost of demise.
Apparently we are just that awesome.
I second your comment.
I think it's getting better - a number of countries worldwide (such as Portugal or UAE) are making it easier and easier for people to work remotely as "contractors". While not perfect, it's definitely a good solution for highly skilled workers who have a strong negotiating position and can ask for all the benefits their country's labour law would otherwise assure.
>Signatures only appear in the Signal protocol for prekeys...

Correct me if I am wrong (Signal protocol is pretty complicated), but doesn't the triple DH take a long term identity factor as an input? So in a sense the signature is built in. The result is logically the same as signing a DH exchange.

Agreed, but if you read down the list the author notes in that list Panama, Croatia, which while beautiful and stable in some ways... are also knows for corruption and other issues.

The USA is very affordable if you look outside of SF/NY and compare it to Western Europe (esp with tech pay). What are you comparing it too?
Should be enough from a FS perspective yes, although:

(1) the WSL distros don't have systemd

(2) they ship with a custom kernel that doesn't support custom kernel modules

First point is trivial to fix but (2) may be painful. You could even share the desktop environment as WSLg uses X11/Wayland.

edit: apparently compiling modules is (kinda) working with wsl2: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4425

It's a table. Think of a table from a database or a 2-dimensional csv file that exists as an object in your programming language of choice. The exact implementation is different in different languages and libraries. In Python the most popular one is the DataFrame class from the pandas library, R has data.frame built in, Julia has DataFrames.jl and there are other implementations too - spark, dask, data.table, tibble etc.

The easiest way for this is to click is open up Python or R and play around with a dataframe, it really isn't that complicated.
Artists sell self signed prints all the time.

In limited editions e.g. 50 or 100 as they know that releasing more would reduce scarcity, prices would drop and no-one would buy their art any more.

And the prints are difficult enough to duplicate without having some artistic skill. Infinitely more so then choosing Duplicate on a computer.
I don't think my experience is at all uncommon among women.

It's extremely common for me that I will love someone first for who he is and only develop lustful feelings later.

Perhaps men routinely begin with lust. Perhaps women do too. But starting with love and lusting later is also common.
From my personal experience I think that the most challenging factor with outsourcing is in fact the time zone.

Being situated in Germany I see many webdev jobs being outsourced about 1 hour to the east and about all the way down to South Africa and Mauritius („Cyber Island”).

This are the projects that work like normal. Then of course the vast majority is outsourced to contractors in India or China – but frankly communication in these projects has always been a bummer.

But then again, it's just my own bubble and probably depends heavily on the type of work and the frequency of communication involved.
Thanks! Well it’s good to point out that automation isn’t a silver bullet and humans systems need to change too. But yeah I do think that we can really improve things if we dispense with the idea of work for survival, and we achieve it in part by actually making things cheaper through automation (as opposed to wealth redistribution which becomes a source of endless fighting).
You're talking about the biggest IT company which in 2006 was redesigning their whole big boy Windows.

Ballmer was deriding the iPhone by not having a keyboard, therefore being just a gimmick not worth of being a work device.

Plus, probably in 2007 having access a capacitive touch screens was most likely not so simple as today. The availability was limited.
Plus, the apps were designed around having a physical keyboard and buttons available.
Some prescribing physicians do; when I told the above story to a sleep specialist later (original prescribing doc was primary care, not a specialist), he said "what, he didn't tell you to immediately go right to bed when taking it?!" Dude was totally shocked.

But yeah, you make a very good point here. I'd go so far as to say that anyone with sleep issues should skip the family practitioner/primary care doc and go straight to a sleep specialist right off the bat (assuming you don't need a referral for insurance; a potential non-issue outside the US). A lot of serious sleep disorders are misdiagnosed as general insomnia when they aren't insomnia whatsoever, but something more complicated (again, speaking from personal experience).

Still, I find the quality of life in Spain preferable. We have a government health system paid through taxes, no guns on the streets, not much pollution, amazing public transport, 4 weeks holidays and good weather. I prefer having those things as a safety net instead of having to pay for them myself. I really love not needing a car here at all, I haven't driven in years.

I was recently offered a job in silicon valley but despite the fact that I would make several times my current wage and the language would be better for me (I'm not a native here), I wouldn't consider it.

And I think you overestimate how much things have rapidly declined. Is the US's heyday in the past? Of course. It is on a decline.

nfts dont prevent copying, the content is easily accessible by anyone with standards for doing so.

hence why us crypto people find the "but you can right click save" as pretty funny. yes, you can! its freely available to everyone.

I think its better we find ways to pay people. if paying artists and musicians looks like nfts ,so be it. better than what we had before. The ceo of spotify is worth $5billion. The musicians get fractions of cents.

The musicians on https://zora.co/ and https://beta.catalog.works/ are getting paid decently, and are distributing the work to the whole world for free at the same time. Sounds great to me.

You need to pay me for some illicit activity. Instead of having you pay me directly, I produce a set of minimalist pieces of art and issue NFTs for them. You buy them or pay your associates to buy them. The transactions now appear as legitimate trade.

Why do you think developers are getting screwed in those places?

Confused on why they are getting "screwed".
It’s observable that it wasn’t “just” about the money for him. He walked away from that company after they sidelined him. Most execs would just rest and vest but instead he rage quit and sunk his own money to save Pixar and spin up NeXT, and at least of those companies had a major cultural impact, so give him a little credit.
If the NFTs don't care that the artwork can be copied, what is their use case? If I own the NFT for a digital file that other people have copies of, what do I actually use the NFT for?

The only thing I can think is proof of authorship, but private key cryptograph already solves that.

Edit: after reading some other replies I've come to the conclusion that NFTs provide a way to prove who put a file on the blockchain first. Thus the use case is trustless transfer of the ownership of this fact of "being first", which is where the scarcity of the NFT comes from and thus the value.

> Propaganda Plain and Simple

This paragraphs seems like a better example of propaganda then what it's critizising. "Crying wolf" is not simply an expression for "saying something you disagree with"[1]. And how does this paragraph look without that expression? "We are used to Facebook arguing that small businesses will be hurt by Apple's app-privacy initivatives. Now ..."

The baseball card also doesn't give you ownership of the baseball player, or over the photograph or stats of that player.

You can copy the photograph and stats as much as you want (the player not so much ;)), but the card still stays the card.

So conceptually: the NFT doesn't refer to the baseball card, it is the baseball card. Baseball card refers to something real, but doesn't take ownership of that thing. NFT refers to something real, but doesn't take ownership of that thing.

The NFT-signed work is beautiful and also hanging on my walls (both digital, such as social media, and physical, in that I own prints representing the tokens, signed by the artists who have distributed the same NFTs).

The media does not evaporate as it is either on-chain, or distributed via IPFS (ie: peer-to-peer rather than a central server).

None of the artists I have purchased NFTs from have tried to trick me (including Anders Hoff, mentioned in the OP article, who has distributed his work as an NFT).

And, most importantly, the artists and non-profit organizations in the arts are getting paid via NFT sales.

:)
> I know you are underestimating the rep of the USA outside of politics and the dysfunction

I don’t really understand. Why would I disregard “the dysfunction”? That’s very much at the core of what shapes the rest of the worlds perception of the US.

Agree on the second point though. It does (potentially) globalise the job market quite a bit.

> I think its better we find ways to pay people.

Even if we find ways to pay people, a world where everything is open source would make life cheaper for artists. Their car would be cheaper to repair, medical treatment would be cheaper. Really we need to cost down the economy no matter what other things we do.
There is nothing official about NFTs, and since they can be traded they aren't a donation log either. When I watch a youtube video they often display donors, that is official. If the artist himself posts about donors, then that is official. If the artist posts "these NFTs are official", then why couldn't the artist just post "these people donated" instead? It is the same thing, it is the same level of authority, the NFT itself doesn't make anything more valid or official or less likely to get corrupted or forgotten.
I never said he was a good person. A certain Adolf from Austria is also certainly an important historical figure. I'm just saying that whether we like him or not, Steve Jobs matters, and that a century from now it will probably be helpful to read stuff about him to understand our society, the same way we might read today about, say, Galileo to understand science in the 17th century. I don't think this qualifies as being a fanboy.

Except they really don’t. The tokens are blockchain-backed, the digital artifact itself isn’t.

To be what you define, I should not be able to copy-paste the digital artifact and then create a second token. The token should, in some way, behave like a hash, where the blockchain should complain that this digital asset has been accounted for already.

You can have composability just by assets being permissively licensed. For example freesound.org or the various asset stores that are chock full of free stuff as well as paid things.

What I suspect people want is free co-marketing rather than composability. HyperDragons is famous because it did something interesting with CrytoKitties that were already famous. In that case you also need to be very careful using other peoples IP so probably want a license anyway.
