I have my doubts about this.

BTC energy cost was in the realm of 10 billion/year this year, and increasing quickly year over year. That's from around 150 TW hours, or around 5x Nevada's consumption.

The hash rate this year averaged around 140 million THash/sec. It appears that efficient equipment costs about 10k per 100THash/sec. So you're looking at another 14 billion in currently running hardware, conservatively, not to mention the price of the buildings those Asics need to be put in.

There's another big flaw here, which is that cost isn't just reflective of consumption but of demand. The same hotel building on the Vegas strip is a lot more expensive than if you built it in rural Idaho, and BTC has the advantage of being able to use the cheapest land and electricity.

Reminds me of the whole market-moving news cycle about Amazon accepting cryptocurrency “by the end of the year” last year. Tons of coverage, like this[1]. It never passed the smell test, all traced back to one anonymous City A.M. source, and of course it didn't happen.

You nailed it. Scott Adams, too, to a certain degree. It's a bit of frame breaking when one finds out a creator has an outsized personality. There's a bit of projection involved in taking in art, and finding there is a great differenced between the imagined creator of a work and the actual creator forces a reinterpretation. It's unavoidable. Maybe Jane Fonda and people with Barberella posters who disagreed with her real life views, for an older example.

I think it's particular painful with Frank Miller because the work becomes much less interesting than how a number of us had read it initially.
>I'd try to claw back any productivity gains from the last few decades

If productivity gains come from capital, not from labor, then trying to take that from rewarding capital will also hurt labor. Over the past few decades a significant amount of productivity gains are from capital investment. Your average worker isn't simply turning out 2x or 3x the goods with the same effort. They have been given a productivity multiplier tool paid for by investment before they set foot on the job.

When it often takes significant tooling and tech investment from an employer to increase productivity, if that stops, we're back to much earlier productivity and level of goods.

Next, over the past few decades, there has been (in the US, likely others) legislation benefiting workers that has a cost to employers, which has also taken up some wage growth, by giving workers other benefits. BLS tracks such things under terms like total cost of employment and total remuneration. If you look at these over historical periods, you can see more places that workers are better off today than in decades past, without it showing up in wages.

There are reasonable causes not all productivity gains are immediately given as wages - not all gains come from workers.

Very interesting. Many people in the U.S. don't understand the problem with blackface, etc. (though they would have to live in a cave to not know it's considered offensive).

FWIW, the use of the n-word by African-Americans is an appropriation (in a good way) of power. For so long, its use was a demonstration of white power over black people, the power to demean publicly. Now white people don't dare use it (probably the most offensive word in English) - again, a good thing - but African-Americans hold the unique authority to say it.

will take a look.

but it seems it focuses a lot on TTD/unit testing and integration testing not my thing.

I hate testing and never understood why they created this most complex todo list in the first place?

just write what you are going to do it and don't worry no need to check everyday if the code still exist or not.

why run an automated check every single day of the same code. not to mention the time wasted on mocking and creating fake data.

sorry a bit off topic but I really hate tests! would need to understand why some still defend TTD...
My point is that not everything appeals equally to all people. The reason dime-store romance novels aren't centered on nerdy boys is because they are trying to entertain adult women. Frank Miller's comics are about edgy superheroes, violence, and sex from a perspective that's trying to appeal to teenage boys.

If you're trying to write a book that appeals equally to all people without offending anyone, I think you'll end up with something anodyne. Some authors have a consistent style or niche and I don't think anything is wrong with that.

Finally, it's also not true that there are no romance novels focused on nerdy boys. There are plenty. Likewise, there are plenty of comic books where women or girls are portrayed well or are the focus of the story.
Any idea where the famous part you quoted is?
> The difference is that in Matrix there's only one specification which servers & clients can be compliant or not compliant with. Whereas in XMPP, there's an arbitrary combinatoric explosion of XEPs which you may or may not be compliant with.

We don't version XMPP in this way, but instead annually publish the "compliance suites" listing the required XEPs for a range of profiles: https://xmpp.org/about/compliance-suites/ - so for example an XMPP client can be compliant with the 2021 mobile requirements. In this document we also hint to developers which XEPs are looking promising for the future, so they have ample notice to play with them and give feedback.

Beyond the compliance suites, implementations are obviously free to experiment with other XEPs, and that experimentation feeds into the standards process and determining what will be in the following year's compliance suite.
Vitali Milman apparently drew high-dimensional convex bodies as "spiky" to try to get at this intuition. So the n-dimensional cube in this case would look like a starfish, with the balls inscribed in the subdivided cubes way out in the tentacles. When you draw it this way, of course the middle ball is not contained in the cube (it is hard to reason precisely about this picture, it does not encode an obvious precise analogy).

> They did it because they enjoyed being employed.

Not just that, when the whole product is broken down into features, managed by Feature Managers (aka product manager), that is wrapped up in business speak, and there are whole hierarchies of [Engineering, Product, Project] managers, there are very few people, if any, who understand the whole thing and various side effects and so on.

So in end, in many cases people don’t even realize the nefarious nature of what they’re working on.

If you're saying you think rooftops are more important than lives, I don't know what to tell you. If roofers are refusing to show up to work because they'd rather accept fairly small checks from the government, maybe you need to offer them better pay or better health safeguards? We've had lots of people die during all this.

One reason the pandemic has lasted so long is that we've refused to take difficult measures, so instead we drag it out and people keep getting exposed. There are countries on this planet that have gone back to normal without these issues, because they took more difficult measures early on.

> It has comptime types and it also has a TypeInfo built-in with some degree of reflection? Is that runtime reflection maybe?

I do wish this was explained more prominently! The way this seems to work is that Zig has a lazy runtime for Zig code at compile time that does some interning (such that identical types obtained separately are equal, identical strings obtained separately are equal, etc.), and some types such as type can only exist in this runtime, not in the actual uh "run time" runtime. TypeInfo is for iterating over struct, union, or enum definitions at compile time to generate code. You'd use it if you wanted to write a generic json parser and serializer or if you wanted to write a type that's like an arraylist but internally uses a struct-of-arrays layout. Both of these are in the standard library and make informative reading.

TypeInfo itself is a union that can exist at runtime, but I don't think you can get into a situation where you have something at runtime and you don't know what type it is already. So actually using the TypeInfo at runtime may not be very useful.

> Zig appears to not report compiler errors for functions that get optimized out.

This is apparently caused by the laziness. The docs suggest using std.testing.refAllDecls(@This()) to have the compiler check unreachable code. I mean the actual usable docs at https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/#Nested-Container-T... rather than the automatically generated stdlib docs.
On an individual level I just don't see the point right now. It's not that it's particularly bad, it's just that it doesn't fix anything important about 10, and there is nothing I could do on 11 that 10 won't let me. From a point of view of risk, changing is almost certainly worse, between fixing no major issues and introducing a lot of change all the same. From a group perspective, I imagine that slow adoption will put more pressure on Microsoft to fix what people are disliking about it, so politically I think not upgrading right now is better.

So that is a very mild "probably not" from me.
> US equities have intrinsic value unlike this BTC garbage!

One major difference is the US Gov & public (e.g. pension funds) have much more leverage for holding US equities liable vs holding crypto liable in a Financial-Crisis-type leverage implosion. While I agree with the suggested notion of "common stocks have no real intrinsic value," when it boils down to opportunity cost, the retail shareholder has probably one to two orders of magnitude less downside in common stocks versus crypto. Unless the U.S. ends up bailing out crypto ... (in exchange for catching tax evasion?)

> I strongly recommend against doing that because it teaches a wrong mental model

What's wrong with using XML as the underlying mental-model for HTML5 (HTML "Living Standard", etc)? HTML still supports XHTML and (to my knowledge) the only appreciable difference between HTML and XHTML is the requirement that the HTML tag soup be a well-formed XML document. That's it. XHTML is still valid HTML, and XML's model is simple and easy to understand and covers 100% of HTML's use-cases.

The difference between XHTML today vs. back in 2005 was that the W3C grossly underestimated the extent at which modern tooling will continue to generate invalid HTML markup (let alone any truly semantic HTML markup either), so web-browsers and scrapers needed to be more forgiving in their input processing and also standardise how they interpreted invalid HTML. None of that precludes us from writing software to a higher standard: software which generates valid XHTML which allows HTML to be handled by existing XML-processing infrastructure (and even serialized to JSON if you're crazy). What's "wrong" about any of that?
MD isn't defined over distributions, though. There are perfectly good distance metrics defined over distributions, but MD isn't one of them. It's a "distance" between one distribution and one point, not between two distributions or two points.

Mahalanobis "distance" is more closely related to a likelihood function than to a true distance function.

This doesn't really mirror my experience. I scheduled a test drive for a Model Y online. I drove to the nearest Tesla location in Alpharetta, Georgia (about 1.5 hours away). And then later placed an order online.
A couple weeks later, I went back to Alpharetta to pick up my vehicle. This wasn't at the Tesla store, but the service center down the road.

During that time, I had ample time to inspect the vehicle and drive it. In fact, the Tesla rep went out of his way to do a thorough walk-through and inspection of the vehicle. I noticed a small smudge on the front, and they took care of it on the spot.

From reading forums, it's pretty common knowledge that if you notice any issues, so long as you note it upon pick-up (or in the first days or so), Tesla will happily take care of it free of charge.

I haven't used it, but the mobile app also makes it trivial to schedule service if needed (along with other options like roadside assistance).

These are fair points for someone that works in the industry and wishes to engage critically with her anxiety of influence, as Harold Bloom would call it. I doubt if her critique, in itself, leads to a rhetorical basis that is any more aesthetically sound. In good time, another writer will undoubtedly point out how flimsy the reactionary storytelling of the 2020s was. At least along this one axis, I am unconvinced by this article that Miller’s lurid pulp is much different from the remedies the author suggests. The proof is in the pudding.
I don't think any mortal human should behave as he is God. It's good to try to not get sick/prevent diseases.

However, you took this sense out of context: the context is
"There is something worth non 0 value of living in a society who accepts you despite being sick or 'dirty', and is willing to take the risk of having those who are tainted amongst them. I feel that's an attitude that comes from a place of strength not weakness."

This is much more nuanced. Nobody should be forced to do this! And after all, it's someone's interpretation. The OT specifically instructed people for such diseases as you might know. Christ helped the sick not naively, but knowing he can heal them. Doing things naively is not always good.

The picture you draw sounds like a strawman of catholicism. Well, "The heart is deceitful above all things" says Jeremiah: our flesh is very proud and letting the ego go is extremely hard for it. However this is more similar to the frustration of a child wanting to create it's own society far away from parents and then going and living in the jungle in utter helplesness and self-delusion.

There is a paradoxical beauty in the eternal which is hard to even articulate and those materialistic arguments ring hollow. I can totally see how it might look like that, but I'd say it's a look from someone who haven't yet actually tasted the beauty of Christ and the faith, see the peace in the Word or the saints. I've been in a boat similar to yours many years(and yes, you can have read the Scriptures 10 times and led 200 discussions, information is just information)
