The simplest example is in-game items. Imagine if Magic the Gathering Online (MTGO) sold you NFT Magic cards instead of cards in their database. You could then use those cards in other games (not the art as that’s owned by Wizards) and continue to use them long after MTGO shuts down.

There used to be a number of free, online places to play Magic with people but because digital Magic cards weren’t owned outside of Wizard’s database, everyone who played got to use any cards they wanted and so they all sued the best decks with the most expensive cards - it made those places terrible to play in.

If the cards were NFTs, we could have those systems know what cards we own even if MTGO shuts down (which it basically has with how few games it supports).

I don’t want to invest time/money into digital assets that are only valid for as long as a company chooses to run their servers. I’d rather have an open economy and open access to these items which other developers can use in their games that either recreate the experience of the original, or are completely new ideas.

Even using MGTO as an example, there are game variants for Magic the Gathering that the official clients don’t support but independent clients can.

Good points, but it should also be noted that humans also often rely on other humans supporting, assisting, and training / coaching them in order to perform at peak levels.

Pre-Neolithic humans while biologically considered modern, lacked many of the expressed cognitive capabilities we now demand nascent AI systems to exhibit.

Self-hosting AI capabilities may come at some point in the future, long after these human bootstrapped and maintained systems have proven their commercial worth.
>Engineers aren’t allowed “one small fuckup” when building bridges and buildings

Yes they are. When estimating the forces you need to handle you can round up. This means that if you made a small mistake it like won't matter since you planned to handle much more than necessary.

>in the OR or when calculating dosages

Dosages don't need to me exact. There are some tolerances and it's easy to imagine a system to eliminate most of human error from this process.

>Pilots aren’t allowed small fuckups when flying planes.

Sure they are. A mistake doesn't mean your plane will crash or fall out of the sky. Planes can already fly themselves.

>Why should we tolerate small fuckups and negligence that only serves a company's shareholders’ interests?

Because hindsight is 20/20.
How a Murderous Poet Inspired One of Dostoyevsky’s Masterworks

I was going to mention CloudRun as a specific counterpoint to the author's opinion on serverless functions. It can't get much more portable than a container running on arbitrary HTTP triggers. We use pub/sub as a trigger because we like the functionality but you can do whatever you want.

You can, for example, containerize your monolith and expose task triggers via API endpoints so your web server doesn't have to do that work. I really like it.
The fact that the payments are interest free makes it clear that they make their money by people failing to make their payments on time and paying a presumably high (and certainly unstated in that box) penalty rate. In other words, the goal is to direct vulnerable people at a predatory loan shark. That's hardly a useful feature, no matter how it's implemented.

An argument for the impossibility of machine intelligence [pdf]
It’s generally possible to find individual governments that do just about any specific thing better than the US gov, but that’s not to say each of those countries is better in every way. The best healthcare isn’t in the country with the lowest crime, least corruption, down a list where the 2nd country is then second on every criteria. Further only looking at US failures ignores how other counties fail in different ways. The UK’s land situation is seriously messed up and yet we rarely consider that when comparing governments. I am not going to say the US is #1, but it’s a long way from abject failure.

Also when you excluded say Nigeria and in fact most counties then every remaining country is going to seem worse simply because you just arbitrarily raised the standards. It’s not US exceptionalism to simply say few countries or groups of countries have landed anything on Mars which is freaking difficult. Sure, providing great healthcare is more important, but it’s also something very few counties have done well.

In the detracting from success by looking at unrelated failures misses my argument, at best it speeks to the likelihood of success not the possibility.
I think the 13 might have brought camera parity between the 13 and 13 Mini. Camera differences are understandable compromises IMO for small phones because camera size doesn’t scale with phone size like battery and vibration motors do. If you’re truly strapped for space, I’m all for dropping a camera instead of losing 1 hour of battery life.
Indeed, this explanation of straight-up correlation seems way more plausible to me personally. I’d imagine that boys from supportive, well-educated, open-minded families are more likely to both openly identify as gay, and achieve academic success.

But this is just a gut feeling of course. I guess it’s equally plausible that boys from less accepting backgrounds are more likely to see college or university as an escape from that environment.

Likewise, that explanation would fail to explain the opposite outcome for girls - but of course they face an entirely different set of cultural challenges.

It seems quite hard to draw any interesting conclusions without more extensive controls.
My hiking boots were good for about 400 miles. Now I use trail runners and I don't trust them after 200 miles - the souls get too smooth. Their combined 14,000 miles divided by 26 means they were getting 540 miles out of each pair.

I couldn't see the counter-weight. A counter-weight matched to the sole user (able-bodied take the stairs) would make a huge difference to the muscular effort involved in getting up and down.

This seems to be about halving the strength requirement because you can use both legs on every step, while also eliminating the balance and coordination requirements of climbing and descending stairs. Maybe that is all that is needed if some-one has had a stroke and falls just short of being able to use stairs. But I don't see it buying much time with a progressive condition.
I'm only bi, but this isn't obvious at all to me. In fact it seems obviously wrong. Most marginalized groups don't "overcompensate in achievement-related domains", and I don't see what mechanism would make LGBT people be any different.

More plausible to me is that these studies can't capture the true concentration of gay people, only the concentration of out gay people. And it's easier to be out, to the rest of the world and to yourself, when you're in an environment that won't punish you for it. And richer environments tend to be less homophobic, so even if the concentration of gay people is the same, more will be out in the richer parts of society.

I grew up in an very homophobic, very poor rural community, and convinced myself I was straight. Then when I went to college I had basically my first exposure to openly gay people and eventually realized I had been deluding myself. That would probably never had happened if I stayed in my hometown.

FaceID sucks with covid masks on. It also sucks with winter masks on. It was designed by people that live in Cupertino, a place where it never gets cold enough to need a face mask. I'm not saying it's bad, only that it's not a 100% perfect replacement for TouchID.
If you are an engineer with 1% of equity, more power to you. In all the companies I've worked at, the influence of the cloud provider bill on the eventual worth of my options has been lower than my annual beer costs.

The #1 benefit of options for startups is that they shift engineering costs from now to the future, so that you can hire any engineers at all while operating on a small budget. If the business works out, you already have so much money that the cost of the options will be negligible. If the business doesn't work out, the cost of the options was zero.

I inherited an AWS stack that cost 10k a month and turned it into 1.5k in a week. Joke was on the previous devs too though as they were fired.
But I guess at a big company it would be only 100% too expensive but at a much bigger scale and no one gets fired since it is basically best practices or so.

People probably think this comment is sexist or something but I think somewhere over the course of the last 60 years of the feminist movement we started to completely ignore that humans are sexual beings and pubescent males have strong primal urges that absolutely will be amplified in the presence of women.

As I've gotten older I've come to realize that maybe there was a legitimate purpose behind thousands of years of gendered segregation, beyond some shallow explanation like sexism. How much potential do kids lose to chasing and fighting over women in schools/colleges? I'm not suggesting that it's a massive effect but I imagine its significant - and especially so in the military, where fraternization is basically impossible to avoid in coed deployments and can be toxic to morale.
Things like Matthew Shepard[1] were--and are--a thing in America. That was middle- or high-school or undergrad for some of us--times when we're exploring our sexuality and how to be in relationships.

Imagine wanting to be with someone of the same sex and then seeing news reports about a similar person being beaten to death for that reason. Imagine being immersed daily in negative language regarding homosexual relationships ("fag", "queer", "dyke", "fairy", "disgusting", "sin", "evil", "pedophile", etc.)--relationships you know you need, and which are put on a level with murder and pedophilia regularly.

The study may be flawed, and that itself might be noteworthy. If it's not, that, too is.

Something I've noticed in the pandemic: there's a pretty big gap between what people remember "the experts" saying vs what, if you listened to one or two qualified professionals and kept them straight, actually said.

Individual experts—the good ones at least—seem to hold up pretty well even if they didn't see everything coming.

It's the widespread sampling of chyrons and faces that inevitably says everything all of the time and winds up looking incompetent.

The analogy is only in the contextually relevant case of a limited resource and the consumption.

Even with a free healthcare you still have a paid private medicine and a free public one. And they have to compete which leads the price going down, because one side is always zero or close to it. Not like it's in the US where the direction is opposite as you don't have a zero side but only "unbelievable high price" side.

It's going to sound hand wavy, but it is a new asset class with a novel value proposition, so analyzing fundamentals will require assessing novel characteristics.

How do you price a currency on fundamentals? Some of those indicators apply, like supply, yearly monetary inflation, reserves ("hoarding"), and some don't, like stability of the issuing state, but an analog to that would be network security.

How do you price tulips? I'm not going to pretend that there isn't a massive section of demand that is entirely speculative.

As far as a novel approach, you have to gauge potential utility, something there aren't very many analogs to in other asset classes. Can you send it over borders without being molested by various bureaucracies? Is there some guy that is going to change how things work under pressure? IMO the unique fundamentals of a cryptocurrency have to do with censorship resistance, permissionlessness, fungibility, some of the hot buzzwords that people use as selling points are more than buzzwords. And there's no century long history of refining the methodology of doing this, we are figuring out exactly what works and what doesn't, which is a part of the process of price discovery with any new asset class.

I'm not sure why you went on this massively pedantic rant, or why you chose Russia as the hill to die on.

Russia is actually a fairly good example of a Nation State. It has a largely homogeneous population of Russian speaking Rus people, and the minorities mostly live in autonomous regions that were created to be run by the various ethnic minorities in Russia. There's even a Jewish autonomous region in Russia. Russia is pretty solidly in the Nation State category.

It depends, I think the distinction is more important if you're a member of an endangered, stateless nation, because in that case the term nation-state implies that your people does not exist as a nation, whereas if you belong to the dominant nation within a state, then it's the other way round, it's in your interest to reinforce the idea that there's one nation (as opposed to multiple ones), and therefore prefer the term nation-state.

What I found interesting is that the period for reappearance of “failed ideas” is roughly the length of a career. Coincidence or due to any real effect I don’t know. I wrote a little about it here:

“Don’t be discouraged by the failure of technology or approaches of the past. If the problem is still important after all this time then it’s a problem worth solving. Don’t avoid unsuccessful solutions. Avoid insignificant problems. Success this time around could be unlocked by advances in any number of unrelated disciplines.”

For sure. The older I get, the more I try to watch out for this effect.

It's a pain, but one of the nice parts is that it drives you to look for deeper principles. E.g., when my dad started coding, machine time was really expensive as was storage space, so everybody optimized for those things. Hello, Y2K! Now the opposite is true: developer time has gotten more expensive, and computation is cheap. In one sense, that invalidates a lot of old expertise. But on the other, optimization is still usually important, we're just optimizing for different things. A little reframing of habits and you can end up with a more flexible and subtle model.

I don’t think that it would be verifiable, but it is a default hypothesis that we don’t assume some yet unseen way of interaction between something and our material bodies.
