Considering BTC's network uptime has been about 99.9% for over a decade, I'd say the "here to stay" articles may have been relatively accurate? (I don't care much for BTC, though I do feel a narrow scope of its usage will probably persist in some fashion for many more years.)

> Show me one blockchain application that has nothing to do with virtual assets that not only turns a profit but is provably more efficient than a database based solution.

The only thing ledger specifies is virtual state and virtual assets (ie: tokens). A simple example of an application that is easier with a smart contract than traditional financial services and a plain old database is an escrow agent for handling a significant sum across hundreds or thousands of global participants (and thus potentially currencies). In practice; a smart contract application built on this may look like a time-constrained Kickstarter campaign, but using a trustless/ownerless escrow contract to accept and manage payments.
Not broken perhaps, but I regularly click a link to a product and get a page about a totally different product.
All machines that satisfy a test of whether they can do yes-no, store the result of that yes-no, and then go to another yes-no are verifiably considered yes-no machines, that is, they are yes-no complete.
Yes, it's an English language joke:

Two legs in back, and "forelegs" in front (four-legs). 2 + 4 = 6, which is a peculiar (aka odd) number of legs for a horse to have. Thus horses have both odd and even number of legs, meaning horses have infinite legs.
That’s a failure of Java’s language design, not a failure of the functional/declarative paradigm.

Your for loop can do all kinds of damage to the list, and you have to read it all to find out what it does. Saner languages make the functional version more expressive.p:

return first(users.filter(u => contains(u.name, searchString))

I’m not saying JS is a sane language; it has an anemic standard library without a robust “first()” or “contains()”. But that code gets you the first user where the name matches, without resorting to indexes or null checks or worrying about how a for loop can mutate lists that it should not.

EDIT: I should have used filter(list fn) here, I was trying to write something plausible in JS instead of a purer functional language and misses that translation.
Pretty impressive to see for fixed-grip. The only time I’ve seen a turn is the Blackcomb gondola. That’s detachable though, so it’s basically two lifts together with the mid-station doing the turn as it ferries cabins between them.
We have a pecan tree in our back yard. These are "self pruning" trees, meaning they occasionally drop heavy limbs. When a big one fell, a neighbor volunteered to slice it up with his chainsaw for us. He let us know he was using canola oil to lubricate the saw, as the wood was good for smoking.
Depending on your time perioid, PowWow [1] offered a multi-party talk experience on Windows. It also had a shared painting area and a shared browser experience (IIRC, it just launched the same URL in each participant's browser, which at the time was sufficient; there may have been something that detected new URLs loaded by the host to pass along)

It's really not true though. Not only do those institutions not prefer White people, but the only cases of people misrepresenting their race are White people pretending to be some other race. That's because it makes it _more_ likely they'll be admitted...
A recurring theme is "build a processor that performs well on real workloads".

It occurs to me that AWS might have far more insight into "real workloads" than any CPU designer out there. Do they track things like L1 cache misses across all of EC2?
That doesn’t seem fair, I’ve not made up my mind. I just want to understand why you think people forming a panel to remove you from the royal society of New Zealand because you published a polite letter does not constitute cancelling.

That's not what institutional racism means. Institutional racism must refer to an actual 'instituion' such as a government, legal group, or the like making rules and reuglations to enforce and codify personal or situational racism.

Jim Crowe laws are institutional racism.
Individual appriasers may be personally racist.
The KKK are terrorists (who are personally racists and wish they could make institutions racist too).

I personally think web 3.0 is overhyped and almost anything involving NFTs are basically ponzi schemes. But the premise is decentralizing the web, which if it even partially delivers could in theory chip away a lot of most tech giants. Combined with regulation things could change.

That somehow reminds me of the opening of Terry Pratchett's "Nation".

All horses are the same color, on the inside.

Once you get beyond the surface of the problem things are simple. and tasty.
forelegs means "front legs", but also sounds like "four legs". "odd number" means "strange number", and also "number not divisible by 2".
> MPV needs learning CLI to play videos.

It certainly does not. You can launch mpv by clicking/doubleclicking on any media file in your file manager, the same as any other. You can also drag media files to your mpv icon, or drag media files to a running mpv instance.

Edit: Also I don't know where you found that "migaku" guide, but it's crap. Why is guide written in english telling people to download a config file that sets Japanese as the default audio and subtitle language? Why the hell is it turning hardware decoding off by default? Also, sudo to curl into usr/local/bin/youtube-dl when you could just put yt-dlp/youtube-dl in the regular mpv configuration directory? Fucking... why?

Do yourself a favor and read the official documentation if you really want to give mpv a try.
For understanding: this proof makes sense if you (incorrectly) assume that any two horses are the same color, because then you can take any pair of horses in an n-sized group and split it into intersecting pairs to show that theyre all the same color. With this assumption, this inductive proof would work as well.

> They must be applications with extremely bad design causing super low cache hits

Yep, this is exactly the case - also, on systems that are busy and context-switching often and thus flushing their cpu caches more frequently. Combine the two, busy systems running loads of un-optimized code, and boom, you have described how most computers run in the real world. This is why "synthetic" benchmarks, which are well designed code running on quiet machines more or less match up to CPU Frequency exclusively.

I don't really have any good charts to show you, but you might checkout an old review of the processor I mentioned as having one of the first on-die memory controllers: https://techreport.com/review/5655/amds-opteron-146-processo...

The AMD Opteron 240 1.4GHz keeps up with chips close to 2x it's frequency - and the memory access times are close to 1/2 as costly (ie: almost all the performance gain from 2x frequency is made up by 1/2 memory access time) - this makes sense, but remember these are well optimized applications (POV-Ray and Lightwave were extremely synthetic). In the real world, opening 10 misc windows applications from 2003, the K8 (particularly when overclocked) was a _beast_.
A perfect example of institutionalized racism.
Okay, but my issue and I think the one of the OP is that even for n >= 3 how did they prove that all horses are the same color for n >= 3?
That maybe so, but it's those actions that are the problem.
There's fanboyism and there's "you are wrong for wanting something Apple didn't care to implement, they know better than you". Your argument doesn't any sense, it's just partisanship and appeal to authority.

You can't explain that PWAs have no place in iOS using the excuse that Apple is doing it for our sake. Sorry, that's just dumb.
again, it's more complicated than that. Just because institutions are explicitly race-neutral, doesn't mean they actually are. They can easily perpetuate existing problems even if they are legitimately race-agnostic.
> And at the end of the day... some distribution channels are more expensive than they are worth. If the commercials don't make sense, stop listing on Amazon.

This is the point. Amazon is has too much market share for that to be feasible.

Anyway multiple people have attempted to explain how Amazon’s policy is not in the interest of us consumers or the businesses. At this point, one can ponder it and try to see that view or one can keep thinking Amazon is helping us rather than driving up the prices.

> but thru DoorDash the FiveGuys menu is priced 20% higher to pass-on the cost of the partnership to DoorDash's customers, instead of FiveGuy's selling a burger at lower margin.

But they can’t sell at a lower margin! They have no margin to spare!

> Amazon remove's the policy, prices go up 20% on Amazon to be at the same margin of their Shopify app

No, prices stay the same on Amazon to be competitive with other Amazon sellers. Prices lower elsewhere off Amazon
On other phones the baseband has full control of the AP because it can read and write to all of its physical RAM. With an IOMMU a compromised baseband can only control things inside its small view, rather than completely compromise everything running on your phone.
Well, we don't live in a world of generosity so it's not as simple as that. Anti-work people as well as punks at least to some extent usually strife for a world of generosity and what comes with it. And beyond that many religions do as well with various degrees of dedication. I think beside that it's a matter of human dignity to at least try to be generous to those who have it worse. Not because I might be in their shoes at some point in the future, but because I like the idea of a world full of generosity, even if I will not benefit from it directly. I currently live a happy stable privileged life and would still love to see my income to support a basic income for example. Even though it will probably never benefit me nor my family directly.
To be fair, as a member of one of those "African and Latin American countries" that's doing well... our immigration laws are tougher than the United States, and it's fiendishly difficult for a foreign national to start a business.

The US and to a lesser extent Europe are immigration destinations because they wanted to be that way.

Polygon has become my go to chain over the last 6 months.

Even during yesterday’s crash I was able to execute trades at reasonable gas prices (<$1).

I’ve developed a couple of dapps that run on polygon, and while the docs could use some love the overall experience was pretty frictionless.

Crypto.com now supports deposit/withdraw directly to polygon making it possible to skip ETH altogether.

For bridging I recommend Relay if you are setting up on a new chain for the first time, then xpollinate for later transfers of just stables. Fees are super low to go from L2 to L2 these days.

Rabby is a really nice web wallet the replaces metamask and supports all the L2 chains by default, built by the guys at debank.
Tangentially related, in the early 00’s in a datacenter belonging to a large multinational corporation, there was an IBM as/400 that frequently leaked puddles of yellow liquid.

A puddle was found under it; the puddle was cleaned up. The puddle came back. Repeatedly.

The data center management was perplexed. The internal as/400 professionals were stumped. IBM techs were called in. They assured the datacenter’s management that this couldn’t be coming from the hardware. The machines simply didn’t contain yellow fluid.

No leaks in the ceiling, no overhead pipes, it wasn’t coming from the chassis, no other hardware exhibited this weirdness. Food and drink had never been permitted inside. But it was coming from somewhere, because no matter how many times they cleaned it up, another puddle appeared.

When finally a camera was surreptitiously deployed to surveil the afflicted machine, it didn’t take long before the camera revealed one of the datacenter staff members was just walking up to it and urinating on it. No particular reason, just something he felt like doing.

Codons are an (effectively arbitrary) grouping of 3 consecutive nucleic acid bases that ribosomes can translate into a amino acid when building a protein. Technically any combination of 3 consecutive bases could be considered a codon, however biologists usually only group base pairs based on how they are normally read by a ribosome. Note that this means it is possible for a single sequence of nucleic acids to code for multiple proteins, with the only difference being the starting offset.

Proteins are made of amino acids not nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are polymers whose elements contain a phosphorus group. Amino acids contain an nitrogen group (an amino group to be specific).

> our own olive oil

How long have you been off grid (or did the olive trees pre-date you)?
The irony of this point is if you ever watch a livestream from Hotz, he is, at an amazing level, literally taping together frameworks and systems to graduate to a point where he can begin to express solutions to a real problem. It's one of his great strengths -- nothing cannot be accomplished through hours dedicated to a problem with the extant tools we have. If he wants to impugn the flawed systems we have at our disposal it's just because nothing exists that is in congruity with what is happening in his head.

He is, however he may dislike it, good at taping together frameworks and stands as a success case for the systems he might look down on.

I don’t understand how a post-scarcity society would even be desirable. For things like art and music, their creators need to be able to command a price on their creations. The digitization of these things removes their scarcity and essentially makes them function as a public good, making it impossible to set a price on them that will support the artist. If there’s no way for digital artists to support themselves, then they’ll cease to exist. Extend this to any other proposed “post-scarcity X” and you get a society I wouldn’t really want to live in. This isn’t meant to be flippant, I’m genuinely curious if there’s something here I’m missing.
Well until the 1960s, the members of the black community couldn't even attend the same schools, use the same bathrooms, or vote in the same elections as members of the white community.

Now although the laws have changed, people who were previosuly racist in the 1960s did not simply die out overnight. They had no real reason to abandon their views, so they simply maintained them and passed it down to their children.

Unless they or their children actively uprooted their baises, you'll find there are still plenty of people who are biased today.

The government is expected to. The TSA isn't proven to prevent terrorist acts, most contraband gets through ( According to officials briefed on the results of a recent Homeland Security Inspector General's report, TSA agents failed 67 out of 70 tests, with Red Team members repeatedly able to get potential weapons through checkpoints.1 Jun 2015 ", and they are paid quite well, I already think we live in a world where people don't need to "work" the way "work" is seen as backbreaking menial jobs, this system has been working underneath our noses, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reassignment_centers or most department of educational funding going to administration rather than teachers and students.

What I see is excessive bureaucracy generating pointless jobs that drain a lot of resources, and a lot of work being done with lower waged illegal laborers, or in non regulated sectors. I don't know how long it will continue.
well, that certainly is an opinion.
Why even bother charging when you could replace a loan battery at pump station ?
I forget what the effect is called but when some new technology or industry becomes the dominate method or form of productivity it tends to cause other areas of industry to suffer. Partly due to brain drain from previous industry X to new industry Y. It's also just that people think Y is newer and worth more so more time and energy gets moved from X to Y.

In the 20th century, new building materials was one of the new technologies of the day so it makes sense that a lot of time and energy was spent doing things related to buildings/construction. The end of the 20th century and the 21st are dominated by technology and software being the growing method of productivity. Plus now we have software and math that (probably) shows moving a building 90 degrees is going to cause 10 new problems we didn't even consider in the 20th century.

It's all about opportunity cost. In the 20th century we built a ton of buildings that stored and manipulated giant volumes of paper documents and physical files. Now we have databases and virtual filesystems so we don't need giant clerk offices or document storage buildings. Giant data-center buildings might be the most apt comparison on some level.
heh.

Reminds me of "everything has a 50/50 chance".

Because for any event or proposition it will either happen or not happen, two possible states. And you figure probabilities from the canonical fair coin and come up with two states & a 50/50 chance of either one coming up. So the proposition "A giant meteor will hit the Earth tomorrow" will either happen or not happen, so there's a 50/50 chance of a global extinction event tomorrow.
Sometimes things can get terrible wrong. On 5th April 1906 more than 50 people died and another 100 were injured, when in the town of Nagold, Germany an attempt was made to lift a building while people were celebrating inside.

WD40 is absolutely a lubricant. The WD40 is not a lubricant thing just needs to die already. Of course it’s not the best lubricant for every job. In fact it’s probably not the best lubricant for any job, but it’s a good enough lubricant for many jobs. It’s also a penetrant and water displacer. Versatile products usually aren’t the absolute best choice for a given use case, but that doesn’t make versatility bad.

I've been doing a deep dive on the unreal engine 5 beta. It's absolutely incredible and 10x easier to use than when I've tried in the past.

I used this tutorial to get started.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=gQmiqmxJMtA

Following along with the tutorial I felt not that far from something that I could release as a playable game. Really fun to use.

Unreal engine has an extremely rich plugin ecosystem with dozens of procedural plugins.

So for example:

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/world...

I haven't found something that feels comprehensive yet. But it's probably because I'm not familiar enough with the space. You can cobble it all together with the plugins though. Unfortunately, unlike traditional software development the unreal plugins tend to cost money (or good news if you have an interest in plugin development). Unreal Engine on the other hand is free up to some crazy amount of sales and then you pay a small royalty.

There is also another program I ran across that I think can import to unreal and other software.

https://www.world-creator.com/

Oh and here's a shorter video of some of the unreal engine 5 stuff that highlight the technical updates.
