You can by generating Metadata for an area larger than a chunk itself.

Also frequently when using things like peeling noise is to use different scale and resolution of the noise itself.
While on smallest scale there might be 1 noise value per minecraft block. You can can also use a different scale in that 1 noise value is used per 10x10 minecraft chunk (16x16 blocks?)

Also not sure how familiar you are with noise generation like perrin but things have slopes to them and isn't just completely random per point. So even without seeing generated data. You can infer a little bit about the next value depending on the intensity and resolution.

Lastly, you can just not use noise at all and just place things at given coordinates and make the game incorporate them into the proc gen at chunk time. E.g. you want a city always at 1000,1000 coordinate far away from 0 0.
When you get near you can apply smoothing filters in and around the 1000 1000 position thru various math and layering systems so no matter the proc gen at that point. City can be there and it not look completely out of place.

The metric that matters is price, for two reasons:

- Gas fees are based on price

- As price increases it's more attractive to mine. That means devs will increase the mining difficulty. That means more electricity use.

Maybe sometimes. However, if a token is used to pay for blockchain services (such as shared-compute and -data services), the value of the token is at least in part based on the value of those services.

If I recall correctly (I've played it years ago), efficient mining methods make use of 1x1 branches and optimized spacing between branches, which exposes more potential ore spots in less time than a simple 2x1 tunnel. Someone solved the optimization problem and calculated the optimal branch spacing to minimize the time spent on removing the blocks per one block of ore.
A BlockChain is like giving people ACH access. It’s insane to think that people are ever going to be competent and experienced enough to run their own bank. Society needs banks and regulations. This can all happen at layer-2 on top of an auditable and objective root chain. There’s a very clear analogy where everyday people interface with Eltoo “banks” existing (and regulated) on-chain providing convenient “traditional” banking services. That’s where this is all going. Crypto anarchy is a farce; don’t fall for it.

I read an apocryphal story about a guy whose manager saw him leaving and coming back during the workday, and asked later why he didn’t clock out and back in.

“Why not?” said the man. “I grew most of it on the company’s time.”

I have and claim zero expertise in this area but it seems that there is an emerging trend towards supply chain contraction with hard goods. Certainly the lesson of the last 24 months seems to be that lack of strategic risk management in the supply chain can cripple you when things go south. This was always obvious conceptually but the discipline seemed lacking.

Yet software and software-based services seem to be going the opposite direction. Certainly supply chain security issues are beginning to surface but I don't see anyone contracting the dependency graph with stacks on stacks of SaaS products.
You are confusing terms. Centralization is a noun describing a verb, centralize, which means to come towards a collective center, for example a cult. The verb, the action, has nothing to do with a philosophical concept of a total center.
Yeah, I don't have a strong opinion on the original claim. I don't think it's clear that it's impossible to fund the kind of universal healthcare we'd want without raising taxes but I do think that's likely. I think it's probably "easy" (in terms of having the money available in theory, not politically) to fund universal healthcare at the level we'd want while raising taxes on each individual by less than they were paying for private care. But these are guesses.

There really is a Mormon

Just did a deep dive into the Bible, several versions (King James, etc.). No "Mormon" shows up anywhere in the text of the Old or New Testaments.

"Mormon" only shows up in the Book of Mormon, which most Christians do not accept as doctrine.

Through a peculiar turn of events, the nickname for members of Church which is widely used today is “Mormons,”

Because this was the term that Mormons themselves used to refer to themselves for over a century, see for example the (fka) Mormon Choir, the Mormon College, etc. It is only very recently that they began shifting their own self-identification away from the use of Mormon.

We use macs. :) I'm typing on one right now.

There are 2 large problems with macs for shipping to x86 servers in the cloud (our main target):

* Different file format: elf vs mach-o - this is why many devs that use mac rely on things like docker or vagrant.

* x86 vs arm: We do support ARM to a degree right now but the vast majority of our end users are deploying to x86 vms.

The problem here of course is that ops produces machine images that are ran on a hypervisor so this works great on an x86 mac (for dev/test) but is very slow on apple silicon cause of the translation involved.

Looks like one of our users has been playing around with it though so YMMV:

Refactoring – Part 2
You must not understand the notation. f(A ⋂ B) = f(A) is saying that every result of f(A ⋂ B) is equal to every result of f(A), this is trivially true if A ⋂ B is the empty set and thus tells you nothing. However if A ⋂ B is not empty, it follows from knowing f(A) is constant.

Poetically is correctly identified the exact step when the n>1 assumption is introduced. The argument is condensed but accurate.

> if f(A) = f(B) = f(A ⋂ B) then f is equal to some constant c and f(A ⋃ B) = c. This argument is valid only if A ⋂ B ≠ ∅.

It is very clearly the assumption that "all the remaining horses" is not empty that introduces the n>1 condition. It is the non emptiness of that set that allows you to say that since f(A) is constant and f(B) is constant (and we already know that because |A|=n and |B|=n), then f(A ⋃ B) is also constant.

> The great thing about crypto exchanges (and other sites that hold crypto for you) is that they're self-paying bug bounties.

That's a pretty crass and glib statement. So are home burglaries, I guess? Or, really, any kind of crime regarding the stealing of funds or valuables?

You're basically saying 'if you find a 'bug' that lets you get money, then it's a self-paying bug bounty.'

So, snatching someone's purse while they're in the toilet--boom, instant self-paying bug bounty.
> Our aim is to develop an artificial intelligence screening system to establish the person’s mental capacity.

Please let me know when this is done, I am very curious how one would implement such a thing. How can an AI determine if the person is in a "clear" state of mind? What does it even mean? Can they actually define this mental capacity that a person must be in to be able to make the choice? They have to define it, and then they have to somehow turn it into something that the computer can understand and work with. I believe that it is not possible.

> This is how banking regulations happened, once enough people lost their money, the law had to step in.

Technically crypto corporations are already regulated the same way banks and financial businesses are. It's just that most of these exchanges exist outside US jurisdiction, and will often not accept US customers.
The concern should be about how "the law" can't be applied here
I was an officer (personally, I think I was decent, but who knows), I can agree on that to a point: former enlisted folks who are technical experts are by far above most former officers, and I have to say one of the reasons I left was because the officer corp is basically rotten these days with the same crappy, entitled managers that you see in the civilian world. However, the good officers were and are a cut above the rest. The problem is adverse selection by the shitty officers who thrive in that crap environment and wouldn't last a week as a civilian manager because they have no carrot, just sticks.

Anyways, this is kind of off topic, so I'll take my leave.

> And there are circular arguments: DNA is identified as, say, Neanderthal because the fossil was identified as such, and then it is used to identify other fossils as Neanderthal, even if they don’t look Neanderthal-like.

This is the opposite of a circular argument, this is the foundation of inductive reasoning. A = B and B = C thus A = C. If something has unambiguous neanderthal DNA but doesn't look neanderthal-like, then your idea of what is neanderthal-like is discredited.
We aren't seeing banks being hacked and people losing money? Sorry, what?

Here is one comparable hack[0] I remember which followed another series of SWIFT hacks. Further, people lose money all the time to more minor exploits that target just specific accounts, credit cards are always sold (less of a fault of the banks directly but tied to how the system is set up), Robinhood had a data breach recently, etc.

>also I’m sure all the people with money in that exchange would be loving from FDIC insurance right now

Plenty of big exchanges like Binance and Coinbase do have similar insurance and have made users whole after a hack[1]..

Network Proxy for Development
Recently, when I was working on a desktop application, I wanted to test it's usability when certain APIs fail. For this I wanted to block a certain API, but couldn't find a simple straightforward way to do this. Maybe I could've done something with the /etc/hosts file, but wasn't able to make it do what I want. This got me thinking about developing a simple application, which creates a proxy to which we can connect to, and it allows us to blacklist urls. ( Further features can be defining the time taken by the API to respond back, setting a status code it responds back with etc )So, I have a few questions -

1. Is there a simple solution which allows us to do this ?
2. Do you think the solution is technically feasible ?
3. Would you be willing to use an application like this ? If Yes, What are some other use cases of the solution and what features do you think it should have ?
