First, HN is not the place for this sort of flippant Reddit-tier style of dismissal.

Second, crypto boosters -- I am not one, but interested and not pessimistic -- would say that an economy or a monetary system is nothing but a closed, self-referential bubble that has the useful property of sometimes correlating to predictable real-world activity. It's an abstraction over the real world: not the real world itself, but a way to influence it. It it were the real world, you would presumably have a much easier time determining whether and how much inflation is actually rising. As it is, you have a debate over it today because numbers say one thing, and people experience another.

The crypto people are attempting to bootstrap just such another system, except one that doesn't rely on central banking. So I don't think self-referential is an effective critique then, because that's the intention.
Yes, because of low/no reputation. It's a feature, not a bug.

Im sorry for your accident, but it its a funny thing to imagine the upper echelon sneaking into the hospital, to install eye-tracking software and a beamer on someone who is almost a cast-mumy.

> And I'm saying this as a fan of cryptocurrencies and someone who wants to see them succeed.

I used to be a fan of cryptocurrencies but I stopped when I realized how bad the consequences are at scale. All of them involve consuming real-world resources, so basically hurt our planet. How come nobody is smart enough to invent a cryptocoin that has resource consumption several orders of magnitude lower than the current ones?

With a technology that is extremely damaging to the entire planet for no reason, when its advocates come into your community and try selling it, it's perfectly reasonable to shout them down. Like it or not, HN is an important forum. People with a fair amount of influence come here. Personally I'd like anyone perusing a cryptocurrency thread here to come away with the opinion that it's junk tech that roasts the planet, both because it's true and because climate change is a very serious problem. If the end result is that cryptocurrency discourse is effectively run out of HN, similar to phrenology or eugenics, that would delight me.
Every sentence on the page is focused on developers, the community developing it, and technical details of the game. It seems relevant.

I think the problem is that some people seem to know the future.

Either they are sure crypto is a scam or fad and will soon go to 0. Or they know for sure banks and fiat will go out of business.

I see this mentality more on the anti-crypto side.

My opinion is that there is a small chance that web3 can be huge. So I'm on the pro-crypto side. But a lot of people seem to have a hard time with this "SMALL chance it can be HUGE".

I'm honestly pretty ambivalent about this. My initial interest in this was of this purely technical sort you're advocating for. But that was almost a decade ago in '12/'13. So yeah, I'm now much more interested in seeing what people are doing with this that is useful. I'm actually not in this boat of thinking nobody has done anything useful with blockchains yet, but I do think their usefulness seems to severely lag their hype, and I am more interested in the discussion of use cases than pure technology at this point. But I also agree that it's tiresome that this same discussion is had on every article related to it.

I'm particularly excited about VR computing (plug: https://www.simulavr.com) fundamentally changing the way we work and get things done (as opposed to just changing the way we game and entertain ourselves).

Your larger point that non-incremental progress seems to be slowing down was at one point popularized by Peter Thiel and Tyler Cowen in the early 2010s. I not only agree, this was the fundamental thing that made me want to get into technology startups and build something. I think malaise over slow tech process is a great motivation to dive into tech and make the world a better place.
The difference between this and the private business world is that private businesses don't publicize when they've been hacked and extorted for millions of dollars.
Even though I'm a videogame player, I hadn't played Minecraft until it was recently added to the XBox Game Pass on windows. I can see why it is so attractive to kids.

Minecraft is a pretty amazing game. I'm only a decade late to finding it out!

Speaking from my personal fields of work, AI (computer vision & generative), AR, and VR, I'd say we've made tremendous progress since 2011.

I'd be really curious to hear someone in those fields justify thinking otherwise.

I'd dare to say the progress in AI from 1981-2011 (Watson, CNN's, Chess) was less than the progress from 2011-2021 (StyleGAN, GPT-3, AlphaGO).

As for VR, if you had told someone in 2011 that there would even be a mainstream company making VR in 2021 they might not believe you. Instead, many major companies are building VR and AR glasses, and the leading market one has inside-out tracking, hand tracking, done from an onboard processor, for only the inflation adjusted cost of a Nintendo 3DS at that time.
Somewhat related is MirageOS, a microkernel library for producing applications that run directly in a hypervisor, like Xen. So no virtual environment necessary. And thanks to the memory safety of OCaml (given certain assumptions about the style of programming, because any sufficiently versatile language comes with footguns) you don’t even really need the virtual memory system and other conveniences of a modern operating system.

It breaks down with edge cases. There are a few documented "ring species" such as a diverse land-based amphibian around a lake. At all points the adjacent neighbours can mate, but if you take examples from the far side of the lake, they cannot. One species? Two? Infinite?

I think it was Richard Dawkins who extended this idea through time. We could mate (sorry) with our immediate ancestors, who could with theirs, etc. and in fact there's a continual chain like that all the way to any other mammal. When did we stop being our ancestral species and become H. Sapiens? No clear line.

> Any specific tech or breakthrough you are personally waiting for coming to fruition ?

Honestly, no. When I look back 40 years when there was little tech, and think about the future with more tech... I'm quite comfortable where we are now. We are in a decent middle ground where we have vast improvements vs. my childhood. But we also are a bit overwhelmed - society is still navigating the current tech and its impacts to our selves, our governments, our culture, and figuring out how to integrate tech with the whole of humanity. I think slowing down for a while to get all that sorted out is just fine before we make any new large moves.

Feel free to keep making this criticism of bitcoin, which has no path toward using anything but more and more energy over time. But ethereum's aggregate energy usage is not yet enormous enough to accuse it of roasting the planet, and it is in the final stages of switching to a consensus technology that is not energy inefficient. (And all the newer blockchains have already switched.)
Calling them "Greeks" is more than a bit incorrect and a kind of back-porting of the concept of Hellenism into a very pre-Hellenic time. Even if it's true that the Sea Peoples were Mycenaeans or Achaeans, they did not call themselves "Hellenes" nor have anything like the sense of a Hellenic identity that developed much later in the iron age.

I think of these people as groupings of war chieftans and landholding warrior aristocracies and their crews, conducting raids abroad and territory at home, similar to the crews of Viking ships. Similar in that they had skill with ships, and similar in holding onto older Indo-European traditions of raiding (back to Yamnayan cattle raids on the Pontic steppe), class structures (warrior/priest/farmer) and systems of managing subjects and fiefdoms.

Calling them "Greeks" is about as accurate as calling the old Vikings "Norwegians" or "Swedish". Related by descent, but not nearly the same, and almost 1000 years separating them.

If you read these threads you must know this isn't a universal for cryptocurrencies as it does not apply to multiple of the biggest projects. Even Ethereum which this post is about is scheduled to move away from PoW next quarter though their timeline claims are to be taken with some salt.

Comparing a discussion on a programming language to eugenics and phrenology just shows you have a bone to pick rather than trying to be helpful.

You might be right. I've never used a Purism or System76 laptop.

If I can use it without ever having to know which boot loader I'm using (or what a boot loader is), what version of a given driver I have installed, which partition I'm writing to (or what a partition is), whether I'm currently logged in as root or as admin...

... that'd be comparable to MacOS, and it definitely opens the door to me switching to Linux if/when Apple takes a dark-enough turn.

Now one might argue that every professional user, especially a programmer, should know what a boot loader is or what partition they should be writing to, since that's as basic a requirement to use a professional tool as touch-typing is.

But I wouldn't agree with that; macOS abstracts away a lot of basic things, and that's why I like it.

There is a companion argument linked in the first paragraph which lays out what desktop Linux needs to focus on to be better for beginners. The article you're responding to is giving advice to beginners who want to get value out of Linux today, given that desktop Linux has not yet managed to make itself better for beginners.

The current state of desktop Linux is that there's a category of Linux software that is suitable for beginners, which is built atop the set of features that make Linux excellent for the people who put the amount of time into learning the operating system that is appropriate for learning a professional tool. But this category of software (the GNOME and KDE desktop environments and 3rd party software intended to run inside one or the other) doesn't do much to ease the process of learning the deeper, more compelling aspects of Linux. It provides you with an interface that's recognizable to Mac and Windows users, but doesn't provide nearly as much power, and then expects you to learn Linux in all its depth to make up for that difference in capabilities.

That makes Linux great for people who just need a web browser and maybe an email client, and it makes Linux great for people who have enough background technical knowledge to learn all its depth, but leaves it vastly inferior for everyone who needs more than a Chromebook but doesn't need a professional tool. If you fall into that category today and want to use Linux anyway, you need to learn its depths, and expect that until you do, it will be worse than the OS you're coming from.

If we want to improve the situation, we need either go all the way and make GNOME just as powerful as macOS (which is a fools errand), or make GNOME better integrated into what Linux is already great at and ease the transition.

Alexander wasn't a fan of people who defied him. The Spartans wouldn't join him because they refused if they couldn't lead the army so after a major battle he sent back 300 suits of captured armor as spoils of war to the Parthenon with this inscription:

‘Alexander and the Greeks, except the Lacedaemonians(Spartans), set up these spoils from the barbarians dwelling in Asia.’

Have to respect a pretty good diss, the 300 suits of armor is an obvious reference to Thermopylae
> The value of the stock is relative to the performance of the company, not the amount of fools available to sell to.

A company might be destined to make twice their profits, yet if nobody believes they could, nobody will buy their stocks, leaving stock price the same. One might think, the stock price would certainly increase when the company realizes the profits, but it’s not the case either. The market could think that it was a one off event and the company wouldn’t continue growing. Therefore, nobody buys the stock.
