Not sure why your comment reply to mine got flagged, but I can't respond to it, so will respond here.

1. You can get around this trivially, by simply either (1) looking at transactions originating from the node that distributes degrees, or (2) looking at the degree directly from a person's wallet. You don't need to use the blockchain for searching. It's not going to replace databases. You can have databases, too. But an NFT degree originating from a school's degree-distributing node is just as good as proof and doesn't require some additional step of contacting the school to find out if it's legit.

2. You've still said zero about the utility of a market where these things can be bought/sold/traded, or the API being publicly accessible, etc.

3. No company was putting their assets on the internet before the adoption of the web started compelling them to.

4. See #3. I'm trying to see your point here, but so far it amounts to, "People are doing X today, so they will always do X," which ignores the fact that technology takes a while to adopt. NFTs are new, and their utility is based on network effects, which means they'll become more useful with more adoption. Of course Apple isn't jumping in to use them right now. That says nothing about the future. That'd be like going back to 2011 and saying, "Nobody is using Zoom yet when they could be." Okay sure, but what does that say about the future? Little to nothing.

Again, of course it's possible that this won't catch on. Likely even. But the reasons you're listing don't seem like deterrents.
Beginning in the 1960s, Clair Cameron Patterson was very vocal against the widespread use of leaded gasolines. He was ignored and mocked for over 20 years, but kept going because he knew it was damaging, and fought to end its use. He didn't just "not like it", he was compelled to improve the world.

Whether you agree with him or not, Stephen believes crypto is damaging to society. As such, he is driven to help root it out.

Samsung Austin Semiconductor has been fully automated since 2008-ish. One number I was quoted was that you only need 19 technicians on the floor to run the fab, compared to 500+ pre-automation.

This might be a valid idea for academic research, not for K-12 learning. It's not even worth arguing.
at least with the shell scripts I can quickly see what it does. I much prefer the unix philosophy of small bits of code that do one thing, and do it well. Such things can be combined to make bigger things. Want to make a plugin out of those individual scripts? Knock yourself out! Meanwhile, a decade from now, some engineer can actually reconstruct if needed. Much better than a 'binary blob' plugin that gets abandoned.
So the US has an antiquated payments system vis-a-vis Europe, but crypto solves none of those problems. I don't see it. I see FOMO, groupthink and greed.
k-12 students are not adults. We ban and censor all sorts of things for the the underage crowd, look up CIPA. There are borderline pedophilia books available at school libraries. I've also seen several examples of incredibly racist CRT books in classrooms.

I don't think young kids should have unfettered access to this stuff. They're not able to process it correctly.

If communities are saying they do not want this is classrooms then I think that's the way it should be. Schools don't get to be an authoritarian decision maker on how everyone's kids should be raised.

Aside from the censorship issue I'd rather my tax dollars go to more useful stuff than smut books.

This is what I've noticed too. Intellij has never exactly been speedy, but it had so many great features that it was worth it compared to other slow IDEs like Eclipse. And using a basic text editor like VIM or even VS Code with a big Java project isn't really feasible like it might be in other languages like Python or Node.

However, now it is really bogging down. I'm sure it doesn't help that I've got several IDEs open along with some monstrosity of a "microservice" framework running half a dozen docker services and DBs on an older Macbook Pro, but it's true that app and OS devs tend to use all increases in CPU and ram, and so absolute performance and battery life never seems to get better over the years, regardless of how much the underlying hardware itself has improved.
This, along with the energy requirements of crypto is why I don't/won't put any money in it.
Sometimes there is an engineering solution to a social problem. Rather than blurring faces software can now isolate them, downscale and then upscale them, such that they look like real people but don't actually exist. The photo doesn't look censored but the consent issue goes away. Then you just have to identify the faces that you want to keep. The same could be done with the brands and logos that randomly litter photos, creating other legal issues.
Got it, thanks again.
Well in principle Texas has lower (almost half) industrial energy costs than Taiwan, which could help reduce wafer production costs especially at the lower resolution nodes. As Moore’s Law slows, things like energy and raw material costs may matter more. And having wafer plants close to fab plants can help.

Rough order of magnitude, but for a lower cost wafer (think like 90nm or above, not 7nm), electricity and energy could be about 10% of the overall cost. As a lot of the capital cost of the automation and industrial equipment is the same wherever in the world you are, that might be an important factor.

Taiwan is an island that imports almost all of its energy. Texas is an energy rich state with lots of wind, solar, and especially natural gas that is exported to the world.

We talk about higher natural gas prices in the US with Texas seeing slightly above $4/MMBTU, but LNG prices in Asia are above $35/MMBTU at the moment, nearly an order of magnitude higher. The government of Taiwan is basically eating half the entire cost of LNG right now to keep costs low for businesses and consumers, but that’s not a sustainable strategy. (At the moment, industrial electricity is about 13¢/kWh in Taiwan even with the government subsidizing most of the LNG cost and 7-8¢/kWh in Texas.)

The same can be said about NFTs: you must verify their authenticity off-chain, you must trust that off-chain authority, or sue people off-chain if they infringe on your off-chain property rights...
Not to bikeshed on this, but I have a pretty strong preference for minimalist syntax highlighting. I'm currently using tao-themes in emacs: matching light and dark themes that are grayscale or sepiatoned, and mostly use character properties like bold or italic along with a few shades of gray. Much more calming than the usual "angry fruit salad on black" programmer themes, but also providing more intuitive information than no syntax highlighting.

Because display technology can't reproduce the full set of colors we see and and moreover, we have a finite number of bits to encode the value of any pixel. A color space/profile is both a target for display manufacturers to produce and a way of standardizing the trade off between bit depth and quantization error.
In my hybrid office, the juniors are also mostly the ones going into the office, so maybe they've appreciated your point.

I also observe that they are also the ones hanging out outside the office, so I would guess this is part of it too. Seniors tend to compartmentalize "work friends" vs friend-friends.
You are referring to Google Pay/Apple Pay/VISA. This is correct and it is mostly what people use these days.

But it isn't on a block chain and it isn't extensible. With our current digital cash I can not create NFTs and trade then around. It also doesn't allow for arbitrarily large transfers. It doesn't replace ACH or Interac. There are no public ledgers.

I think that digital cash with the features I described above will come into existence, as parallel structures to the existing ones, but probably will see significantly more adoption.

Right now we are seeing fracturing of the cash system with PayPal, Stripe, Venmo, etc. I think there could easily be a consolidation period around block chain official state currencies at some point.
There’s a lot of interesting thoughts here. Especially in points 2&3, around integration between dev and deployed environments and workflows being integrated into the tooling.

Funny how he fails to mention that Tether regardless of how dodgy it is provides a lifeline to people in countries undergoing massive inflation like Lebanon.

Legal or not a back up option to a failed currency has real utility. This is why I suspect countries will push ahead with CBDCs and seek to export their use for financial and intelligence reasons.
I've worked in 4 different software shops over the last 15 years. My general observation is the developers who rely on heavily automated/magic tooling are significantly outclassed by those who use the terminal + a basic text editor.

Terminal + Vim or Emacs/VSCode (depending on configuration) is not only all you need, it also produces developers who understand the systems they work with.

I know a lot of people will disagree but my advice to more junior guys is always get rid of the toys and learn the tools.
> We have one already: cash.

Cash is awful if you live in Turkey, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Lebanon, etc. The USD has lost 90% of its purchasing power since the 1950's, meaning cash is toxic over longer time horizons. You cannot have a society where everyone seeks to get rid of the reserve asset over time.

Bitcoin is a savings account in a world where Bank of America's Savings account yields you 0.01% APY, or up to 0.04% if you have more money. We are increasingly forced to take on more risk simply to maintain the purchasing power of our wealth.

I haven’t done the math, but I suspect that for habitats where gravity comes from rotation, having a wall without a top to hold in the atmosphere wouldn’t work no matter how high the wall is. That’s because when you move in an antispinward direction your apparent gravity decreases and if you go antispinward at the speed of rotation your apparent gravity is zero. Fast moving particles that are bouncing every which way are going to randomly have zero gravity a significant fraction of the time and just drift away. Liquids don’t do this because they are bound together through surface tension and other mutual dipole attraction forces and solid objects of course have all the atoms bound together, but gasses I’m pretty sure would just float away.

>Now it turns out I have to turn around and trust a central authority anyways! That authority being the government that is handling the prosecution of MtGox for fraud and theft.

In theory, DeFi can solve this. In practice it is hampered by poor UX and high transaction/gas fees. I think in the far future, the idea of ever having "your" assets in a wallet whose key you don't control will be seen as a ludicrous archaism. Sorry for your loss btw, that really sucks
This exactly.

Most of these systems are designed around pseudonymity, not anonymity. Only things like Zcash, and Monero set out with that explicit goal.

The first one I was working might have been Noritsu, the next one was Fuji photo processing machine. They both had to use at least 3 different chemical containers and photo paper rolls - each for different sizes(and materials - gloss, matt, silk) of photos, so basically if you were making one size of pictures(and same material), you had to do that type of photos first and then swap to other type of paper. Though, some of the swaps had to be done earlier, because of promise for customers to have their pictures in ~1h done.

The article discusses pseudo-money, not generic decentralized databases. The main point is that even if a blockchain distributed database technically "works" it is highly inadequate for many practical money-like applications, particularly because trust has to include the real world.

Because the left right spectrum is muddied beyond utility, it's worth teasing out what exactly this means. According to most political compasses, for example, the left right axis is supposed to represent economics, with the left being authoritarian redistribution and the right being free markets.

So, do I think that automation causes most people to desire freer markets? No. In the same way that the immigration or globalization doesn't exactly make the working class reach for free markets... it's actually the complete opposite. So they're definitely not reaching right in that sense.

Well, another thing that's often represented on the left vs right is progressivism vs conservatism, and here is where we get to the heart of this pattern. People who want things to change in some uncharted direction, vs people who want things to stay the same or go back to a previous state. Your job is gone due to automation, immigration, or globalization? It's entirely reasonable to reach for the conservative button to make things go back. Populists promising your job back is an appealing message.

Because think about progressivism. Progress is fundamentally just change. Whether the change is good is not a given. While pairings with automation actually do exist that could theoretically usher in better economic outcomes for everyone, i.e. UBI or the like, I don't think most people have faith in our politicians to actually get us there. So the Luddite impulse kicks in, and says "I don't like what's happening, make it stop, take us back to the state where I know I still have a place in our economic system." It's completely understandable. If you want to change things, you have all of the burden to convince people that you're taking them someplace better, and that's no easy feat when they're watching circumstances around them rapidly knocking out their livelihood, and there's someone out there promising they can make it stop and go back to how it was.

Let me know if you have any questions about the project or split-flaps in general!

I built a big one for a City of Palo Alto art festival recently which was a lot of work but really rewarding: https://youtu.be/g9EPabcxBsM

There were some comments about the Vestaboard cost elsewhere in this thread so I figured I'd mention, my raw BOM cost for that display (108 modules, 40 characters each) was about $2700, so I actually don't find their pricing that crazy when you consider what's happening mechanically inside the display. (short video from inside mine: https://youtu.be/4rBKxy0gwNI)

They're not completely comparable of course - my display was a one-off build without economies of scale from stamped or injection-molded parts, much larger physically, and I had substantial parts of it manufactured in the US - but generally there's just a lot of pieces that add up quickly in cost.
Fortiche have been working on Arcane for almost seven years now. That predates Spider-verse being publicly known.

Additionally there have been tons of very stylized content pieces before that. Look at anything by Robert Valley, Alberto Mielgo or just look further out into European or Japanese animated work.

Certainly Spider-Verse helped prove the viability of a heavily stylized film, but Arcane would have existed without it.

A lot of what they did was being done in Gobelins films before (and I suspect Fortiche employs many Gobelins students)

Lord and Miller are fantastic and certainly push style. But I think you're attributing too much to them.

People have a pretty good idea of its mechanisms.

Powerful people break laws that are clear enough and then don't go to jail because of "prosecutorial discretion" or Johnnie Cochran or retroactive telecoms immunity for illegal mass surveillance.

Powerless people break laws that are ambiguous, or most people don't even know exist, or people know exist but they're only enforced against the nameless and poor, and the US has the largest prison population in the world.

> coders can't seem to keep basic services operating in ideal conditions and yet you expect anyone to look to this group when it comes to actual life and death decisions?

We already have code running when it comes to actual life and death decisions. There is code running in aircraft and heart bypass machines, and it works, because then people care that it works. Nobody cares enough that some ad tracking code is perfectly reliable and efficient, so it isn't.

You're also asking for a double standard. The OpenBSD people do a nice job on OpenSSH. It's pretty good, not perfect. There have been vulnerabilities in even that. Then they get patched.

But you can't possibly be claiming that there are no "vulnerabilities" in the law. If that was the case then why do they have to keep passing new ones every year? The ask isn't that it never change, it's that it be changed by the legislature prospectively instead of being in a constant state of superposition until it's resolved by a court ex post facto.
The difference is that those people can honestly see and use crypto as speculative assets, which is fine (if we ignore externalities for a second), not making up use cases.
