There is one thing: decentralization, and there is another: concentration of ETH ownership.

Concentration of ownership means a few entities own most of the ETH. Up to a point (where one entity owns all the ETH, and therfore ETHUSD goes to zero), who cares, as long as there are still enough token in circulation to conduct business?

Decentralization OTOH means that no one can prevent me from executing a transaction on the chain.

With POW, these two things are basically unrelated: concentration can be arbitrarily high, I can still transact.

However, IIUC, with the aptly named POS, concentration of ownership brings concentration of voting power and therefore large holders become theoretically capable of censoring transactions ... not great.

And I don't believe there is any mechanism in place to prevent ownership - and therefore voting power - to reach arbitrarily large levels.
> Can you absorb or re-absorb what it is doing rapidly by looking it over for a few seconds?

No. Not only because code is essentially poorly structured, but also because I'm not fluent in subject behind a code. Example is operating systems: when I look in Linux's source code for example, I can't understand which problem is solved by each routine. But does that make Linux source code "poor structured"?
Thanks, on a brief try that seems to be working!

nVidia is trying to become a full-stack company.

They have GPUs. Got network capabilities with Mellanox. Add ARM knowledge on top and you have a complete platform building capability.

TL;DR: nVidia just wants to dominate the whole stack. Like Apple, but for data center / scientific / AI / HPC, etc.
Hey! I was just curious about two things:

- what's the privacy policy?

- how can one request data / delete their account?

congrats on your launch!
I'm not sure why people try to revise their logic from the past. It probably made a lot of sense to start with a cloud provider. It made sense to move the critical parts out as the company grew. They were all completely valid choices.
It's also a very good way of preventing a small entity from suing a large one for anything but a sure thing; since, if they lose, they could wind up on the hook for legal fees that are way out of their price range.
>One of the main reasons I use Brave is because it doesn't do politics. Eich may think whatever the fuck he wants, his team the same. But they seem very focused on building a privacy-respecting browser and standalone Internet services.

So in your opinion, Mozilla's CEO shouldn't be saying we need to do more than deplatform politicians? I suppose she was unclear in what more that was exactly?

>The team at Vivaldi definitely has people who disagree with Eich. I like them too, why? Because they keep browser-making and their politics separate, and "politics" in their context mostly translates to user control and privacy, as it does at Brave. Both teams understand that they're there to make a tool, and that's it.

Yes, I have vivaldi over on my pinebook pro. I haven't really done much yet with it. excited to check it out.

>Mozilla is just the reverse: It's about activism first, a browser second. And their "rebellion" is a $400 million Google dollar one.

Their budget is what 90% from google? That money has attachments im sure. Hence probably why they have trashed firefox so badly.

>I know one thing: When I see a privacy-friendly organization saying we need more than deplatforming and to tweak feeds to suit political agendas, I bail.

Yes, it's clear firefox deserves their 7% market share and dropping. I wouldn't recommend firefox to anyone.

It depends on what the purpose of content moderation is.

> It's certainly pretty easy to find "drama" associated with the python, javascript, rust, go and scala with a quick Google.

Sure, but I've seen it up close, and there's no contest that there's more drama with Ruby people. That there is less drama than there was during its hipster heyday is a testament to many of them getting jobs outside of webdev consulting and their code needing to last longer than a single contract. A lot of the other half just got burned out on Ruby.

Ruby is the only language I'm aware of where the programmer's mindspace took more concern than the actual problems they were trying to solve. I do not fault Matz' love of beautiful code for this, but it enabled the narcissism of a very specific type of douchey hipster programmer. The brogrammer era (and its sisprogrammer reactionaries) could not be bookended in history without this phenomenon.

To concretize this. If you believe that you've crafted a specific "phrase" that is beautiful, and you believe it to be objectively beautiful, and then you find other people don't find it beautiful, then you start thinking perhaps there's something wrong with those people. This interpretation of The Ruby Way™ was a license for elitism. It also invariably ends up in the world of narcissism of small differences [1].

"CUDA" is not a forbidden word. Where does that idea come from?

Here: CUDA, CUDA, CUDA!

If you go to the official channels and ask about CUDA people like me will likely tell you that CUDA is proprietary software, so we don't cater to it in Guix. If you then acted all offended and angry that would be the end of my interactions with you; otherwise I'd tell you the right venue to ask for help with CUDA without starting a discussion of proprietary software on our main channels.

If that's not good enough for you then we're working on incompatible assumptions of how communities work. If you think you're entitled to discuss whatever you want on the community's channels then you're going to have a bad time. Life must be hard demanding of other people to humor you when they really don't want to.

No.

I really wish my Nest V3 was more hackable

I have an Echo Show (the one with the screen) in a central location in my kitchen. It is too busy showing me stupid jokes that I could ask it to tell me to actually give me any useful information.

When I have timers going, it doesn't even display the timer on the screen so I have to ask Alexa to tell me the timer status every few minutes. Sometimes it puts it in a tiny little font in the upper right hand corner as if stupid jokes are more important than the timer I am literally waiting on.

My favorite is when I'm cooking and I have background music on along with 4 or 5 timers running at the same time and it thinks the most important thing I want to see are the lyrics to the song that it's playing.

"Alexa, stop showing me lyrics" does nothing. "Alexa, leave the timer on the screen" does nothing. It's amazing how much improvement potential there is in these devices.

We could quibble about what exactly "primarily" means, but that's not the phrase he used which is "by, and for" without the qualifier. So here's two reasons to make FreeBSD for others as well:

- They use a lot of code that they don't develop. If FreeBSD is not for others then those external projects and developers would be disinclined to make their stuff work on FreeBSD.

- Every new FreeBSD developer comes from a non-FreeBSD developer who is interested in FreeBSD and probably uses it. More developers ~= better FreeBSD for FreeBSD developers.

- More users (very roughly) means more money. Whether that's money to pay for more FreeBSD developers, or incentive to make your hardware work with FreeBSD or port your software to it, there are some positive effects on the system and possibly your wallet.

- Personal satisfaction to develop software lots of people use. Also the recognition that comes with that can get you a job or help you meet people and go places.

So lots of reasons. Even being purely selfish and hoping to extract the most from it, there are plausible reasons why some amount of focus on others might be the best way to go about developing a the project.

There are apparently whole books written about C pointers.

On the other hand, the cost of not using those things can be not getting a good job, or not being able to do your job, which has costs too. A small difference in work done can be the difference between keeping a job and getting fired.

The Logistical Nightmare of Getting Athletes to the Olympics
A time to EVALUATE your jitters (2011)
I’ve used it once, for a week-long slog on an impossibly short timescale project - it just made sleep an absolute irrelevance, and I was able to just sit and code from Sunday to the following Tuesday. The delivery was on time, the client congratulated “the team” (lol), and our business gained a reputation as being able to pull off the impossible. I felt fine for the duration.

Two things, though.

One, that week does not exist to me. Like, I don’t remember it apart from the abstract knowledge that it happened. I learned C# and .net in the first 48 hours, having never used either before (we were a PHP shop - but some combination of naivety and hubris had us take the project on) - and a few weeks later when making some tweaks, I may as well have been looking at someone else’s code in a language I’d never worked with before.

Two, the comedown wasn’t awful, but I did sleep for about 36 hours straight, and woke up hungry enough to eat a bear.

Haven’t used it since - haven’t needed to - but I do keep a blister pack handy in case I ever find myself needing to function without cessation for a week again.
I'm always a little confused by the reduction of weather data into something so binary. As AndrewOMartin said, even "taking an umbrella" is contextual, and should probably be at least some form of time-graph so that you can at least check for however long you plan to be outside for.

That said: combining data for heuristics is a nice way to simply an onslaught of data. For example, the above graph might be nicely expressed by something similar to but not exactly like "expected rainfall" (which accounts for chance of rain but also intensity). For temperature, "feels like", combining the various factors that actually affect skin temperature - wind and moisture included [0] - is probably best.

on edit: another day, another downvote, but that doesn't change the fact that the whole discussed comparison is between IV versions of the drug, and as such it's ridiculous to compare cocaine against Starbucks coffee as if that disproves the assertion.

Outside of small scale relationships you need vast stores of knowledge that your brain can capture. That's one of the reason the internet and social network exploded because we always seek out to learn something new and internet and social network made it accessible.
In all seriousness, taking it sublingually might actually be extremely effective. Sublingual delivery tends to be more effective with lipophillic substances than hydrophilic substances. Caffeine is a bit weird in that it is hydrophilic, but, it is sufficiently lipophyllic to cross cell membranes and penetrate the blood/brain barrier, which is what makes me suspect it would work out well.
Well, there is a difference between understanding "what it does" and "how it does what it does," and conflating the two is often a mistake. I have seen people take complex code apart (e.g. by doing manual macro-expansion), and it was not just a waste of time, it, in fact, hindered their understanding of the framework as a whole.

When learning Git, I enjoyed reading a tutorial that explained it from the bottom up, but, in the end, having been shown, early on, what is merely the implementation detail, created a cognitive noise that is now hard to get rid of.

I went down the Gemini rabbit hole 6 or 8 months ago and didn't really understand the solution it offered, but you're really missing the point here.

The idea isn't that consumers are using the web in a way that is disliked. The web is run by and for large corporations legally bound to do what is best for shareholders. The web allows those corporations to take advantage of consumers in ways that the average user doesn't understand and often wouldn't knowingly consent to, and in the process opens the door to entire classes of vulnerabilities that wouldn't otherwise exist.

Gemini may include a few unpopular assumptions and limitations, but a consumer never has to worry about any content on Gemini being vulnerable to script injections, malicious spyware,
or site silently mining crypto on your hardware. Tracking is still technically possible, as mentioned in the OP article, but in a very limited sense and only really at the level of page requests.

Gemini may be an over correction, but it at least starts (or continues) the conversation of whether a limited feature set is the most effective way to fix so many of the problems on the web today.

I don't really see why Nova should attempt to be compatible with another editor just because they landed on JS as the integration language. It's doubtful that VS Code has the best API, and it's doubtful that VS Code's API is the best fit when the editor isn't primarily rendering HTML.

Because the editor works very differently, it's unlikely they'd ever manage to make the APIs completely compatible, and because of that it'd unlikely that you'd have much porting between the editors anyhow.

There are many editors out there with incompatible plugin APIs (sublime, vim, emacs, vs code, fleet etc.). There is room for Nova to do their own thing, and do their own thing better without catering to the crowd of another editor.
Perhaps this issue came about because Google's AI read this article.
