> Whatever the intentions behind these decisions, they were the final straw for the many health-care workers who told me that they left medicine less because of COVID-19 itself and more because of how their institutions acted. “I’ve been a nurse 45 years and I’ve never seen this level of disaffection between clinicians and their employers,” Brogan told me. The same is true across almost every sector of the U.S. Record-breaking numbers of Americans left their jobs this April—and then again in July and August. This “Great Resignation,” as my colleague Derek Thompson wrote, “is really an expression of optimism that says, We can do better.”

It looks like there is a growing resentment between the various economic classes and it's starting to show up almost everywhere. Interesting times.
Question: How do we know that we are giving plants everything "we" need?

We get nutrition through the food we eat and there are many, many molecules that contribute to our health. This project is cool but I worry about subtle nutritional deficiencies if this food ends up being the majority of a diet.

I have the same worry when it comes to lab-grown meat.

US dollar payments aren’t subject to the approval of stakers, and existing PoW miners have no on-chain mechanism to prevent new market entrants from competing against them for hashrate.

So, “no”.

To begin staking, you first need stake. But merely transfering a PoS coin from an exchange to your own wallet for subsequent staking is inherently impossible without the approval of existing stakers. Even this isn’t enough: existing stakers must also approve of your initial staking transactions.

Which is not how PoW mining works.

I think you are conflating pandemic stimulus with unemployment relief. I largely agree that saving for the poorest hasn't gone up. Anyone with investments came out of pandemic great from all of the market stimulus.

It would be interesting to see how much of the increased spending and saving is coming from different demographics.

Is it people so saved a few thousand from skipping a vacation, or people who saw a hundred thousand dollars added to their retirement account?
Okay, but now you're talking about using monetary policy to change American culture away from consumption and more towards saving. I'm not sure such change is politically sustainable.

Also another problem: you now have 2^127 output values leaving the quantum processor. If you're using a hybrid quantum algorithm that requires classical processing as well (which are most algos used today), you'd need more than a yottabyte of RAM. We can get around this problem by storing all 2^127 pieces of output data into other data types that compress the total size, but if you genuinely are trying to use all 2^127 outputs, you'd still need to do some pretty intensive searching to even find meaningful outputs. I guess this is where Grovers search could come really handy, right?

Well isn't the issue here that The Fed enables the reckless behavior of congress by sterilizing the deficits?

Yes the root cause is the politicians spending tons of money to get re-elected and running up deficits but they shouldn't be able to get away with it and keep kicking the can down the road.

To your last point - of course it's obvious that interest rates are suppressed and if they were allowed to rise it would cause a depression. But if they were not there would be less mal-investment and the zombie companies propped up by debt would soon collapse. It's not that this wouldn't cause pain in the short term but that you can't just eliminate reality and it's going to happen sooner or later. The longer you delay the worse the ultimate recession might be.

Which is good because accredited investor laws prevent poor people from obtaining wealth in the same way the wealthy do. It's an uneven playing field.

Let me give a concrete example: The first time I used Stripe and Uber, I immediately wanted to invest. But I couldn't because I wasn't wealthy nor well connected enough. If they had been a DAO, I could have invested $100 and paid off my student debt and theoretical mortgage AND probably covered losing investments. One winner covers many losers, which is how VCs play the game. That's the power of early investment.

Those kind of returns are only available to the already wealthy under our current laws. Why should that be? By the time a company IPOs most of the opportunity has already been extracted. How many of us have wanted to invest in Stripe for years now? We still can't. We can only sit and watch as its largest growth years go by and the rich get richer. In the eventual IPO they'll sell their shares to us now that they've appreciated by orders of magnitude. These laws should be abolished, but I wouldn't hold one's breath. So I'm in favor of the cryptoeconomy being an alternative that one can opt into.
> Maybe my view is too European on that, but are Americans aware their federal money supervision system is run by banks [...]

Honestly, most Americans aren't even aware that monetary policy is a "thing".

> and how can they possibly be okay with that?

I'd argue that we aren't. The US Constitution explicitly gives Congress the power to "coin Money".

The current reading of that phrase is that it only applies to metallic coins, not paper money. Congress then set up the legal structure around the Federal Reserve Bank system - and it's more complicated than "privately owned banks" in practice, due to the blurring of the lines between "public" and "private", and the prescribed structure of the Fed that is at least partially under direct Congressional oversight.

I'll also point out that the US has had multiple monetary systems since its inception, and the Federal Reserve System has only existed for about a century.

Citizen-Band "CB" is a pretty specific type of AM radio limited to a number of defined channels around 27MHz.

Those Baofeng radios are VHF/UHF (140MHz/440MHz) FM radios, not "CB". If you had a Baofeng, and your buddy had a CB, there is no good way they would be able to communicate. These radios can operate in a wide range of frequencies with various levels of legality. But yeah in the US and Canada its generally legal to receive a transmission...other than maybe old cellular phones but that's another complicated mess.

To my eye, this reads quite a bit like the same sort of thing anti-vaccine and Flat Earther types think. Just because you think you're smart in some area, or even in general, doesn't mean you've got a natural aptitude for anything else. Maybe you're the exception to the rule, (probably not) but you can't blame other people for not taking your layperson confidence as gospel truth that you're smart and not at all being misled by your own or others hubris.
To be fair they weren’t reported as “unconfirmed” or “alleged”.

The bankruptcies are real, the scams are real (e.g. Trump University), the debts to foreign interests, the pay-for-play, the 9/11 phone call is real, etc.

> introvert means you find social situations incredibly tiring
> If you find social situations difficult then you're probably just anti-social.

No, that is not entirely true. The way I differentiate between intoverts and extroverts is this "introverts think a lot before talking" where as extrovers "talk and then may be think". You mentioned that intoverts find social events tiring is because of this, they always have to play catch-up with non-introverts during discussions. Hence introverts try to be in(and flourish in) an environment that promotes deep thinking. Social events are anything but deep thinking venues.

This seems like a much bigger deal. Disclosing private names is not ideal but I think you have to assume your namespace and package names will leak at some point. In my opinion you should prepare for this well ahead of time by ensuring your organization uses a unique namespace/org that matches your internal/private namespace/org and squat on it. This will prevent a supply chain attack where they take a leaked namespace/package, register it and publish packages with higher versions.
Anyone remember the Access 2003 conversion toolkit? The conversion from Access 97 to Access 2000 was originally designed for developers, not conversions of large number of databases by end users.
No one knows until they actually investigate it. Calling it the "Federal Reserve" implies that it's part of the government, sort of like the "US Chamber of Commerce".

50% of them, but 2 of the 5 broken games are known to be buggy in general (New Worlds anyway, PUBG was years ago, no idea how it fares nowadays so maybe I'm wrong) so dunno how much of that is Proton's fault. The two gold ones seem hit or miss: many people report they work, but some people have issues.

Still, a lot of AAA games work perfectly (eg Sekiro) and many games I play even have native Linux versions (Crusader Kings 3 being the main one, I'm hoping with the steam deck more devs will release Linux versions but maybe that's too optimistic) and most of the indie games I play work well, so for me, I've been pretty happy and haven't looked back.

I mean, it's hard to say what the mainstream says, especially cause it's the biggest, and currently in a collapsing concensus more empiricism until the storm passes phase.

But I don't think adding more caviets to the bad old stories is going to cut it. People need narratives, and if you say "supply curve up, demand curve down, many astrices" you are biasing a certain simplification when people inevitably need narratives.

Really what we need to do is run more big policy experiments at the fed. The more wild policy swings there are, more more politics feels alive, and better are empiracism is. The micro empiracism today is good but barely econ. (It's sort of abstract social science do a tiny thing and then stats.) The macro empiracism is still frequently quite bad, where better data would help but clearer trends from legit experiments would help even more.

LOL... what "AGI hype train?" There's been very little mainstream interest in AGI for the last decade plus. The hype train has been all around Deep Learning, mostly for image recognition, speech recognition, facial recognition, etc.

The people working on AGI are quietly toiling away in their little corners of the world, working with very little regard for what Larry Page, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, et al think. And most of them don't even self-identify as working on "AGI" exactly because the term is so often associated with fringe-science and outright quackery. Most of people doing AGI probably identify as working on "cognitive architectures", "cognitive psychology", or "computational linguistics" or some other field which is closely related but not "AGI" per-se.

Hyping AGI helped spurred enormous investment in artificial intelligence, but overconfident predictions could be detrimental to progress in the field — if the real-world advances prove disappointing.

WTF? Nobody has been hyping AGI. Most of the people talking about AGI lately, to the extent that anybody has been talking about it, have not been people actively working in the field.

For comparison, look at the Google Trends view of the search terms "artificial general intelligence" and "deep learning" over the years. Note: I used "artificial general intelligence" spelled out and not the abbreviation "AGI" because "AGI" has many alternate meanings including "Adjusted Gross Income" which seem very popular and add noise to the results.

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=...

Scientists are also increasingly skeptical. A recent study paper posited that AGI is “in principle impossible,” while other researchers have mocked the term’s proponents.

One scientist, who appears to not be an expert in the field, publishing a paper in Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, which merely resurrects outdated arguments from Herbert Dreyfus, and which conflates "human level general intelligence" with "human like intelligence and behavior in all areas" is hardly convincing, IMO.

In the book he argued that an important part of human knowledge is tacit. Therefore, it cannot be articulated and implemented in a computer program.

See, this is bollocks. All this argues is that you can't take that tacit knowledge, articulate (eg, encode) it and hardwire it into a computer program. But it is not a proof, or even a statement to the effect that, you can't give the program adequate means to interact with the world and then let it learn this same knowledge on it's own. There's also an unsupported assumption here than an AGI needs all of the tacit knowledge that a human has.

All of that said, the AGI Conference 2021 just happened, and anybody really interested in what's happening in the AGI world is welcome to watch all of the sessions for themselves.
