If I have a log across a river, most people with decent balance can reasonably expect to cross it. Therefore, adding crocodiles to the river will not make anyone less likely to use the log bridge.
Also, at a society level a completely private, untraceable money/communication system scares the living hell out of me for the criminal potential.

Although there are uses against authoritarian governments(and/or over reaching rules), there is a lot of criminal activities that are immoral and flat out repulsive as well that such a system will enable.

This. At a previous job I ended up writing quite a bit of tooling around installing and updating developer tools, for 1000+ devs. Some things that would have been a very easy sale:

- private, managed brew repos

- linux support

- onboarding / workstation setup via Brewfile

- maybe a graphical interface for that

- enterprise support plan (would have been handy when `/usr/local/bin` stopped being writable some OSX versions back)

Eventually a lot of it moved to NPM via artifactory for the ease of publishing & consumption.
Verizon has Visible, which offers unlimited talk/text/data for $25/mo. I helped someone setup their basic $100 phone, which is free if you are switching carriers. It's all someone in the middle option you talk about would need.
I think we pay about $10 per developer per month for github, and with about 1000 developers I would love that hourly rate.
Americans value diversity of thought, so we alloy children to have a wider range of lived experiences when it comes to pedagogy.
Depends where you are. In Europe, for example, it's not uncommon for developers to earn half of that.

The usual convincing argument comes in the form of large amounts of profit or lack there of along with liability waivers. Nothing else convinces companies faster. NXP is arguable one of the better micros to use as well, at least the Freescale derived parts.

No amount of pleading or finger pointing is likely to work.

Alternatively an open source asic based on open source cores and IP that you can have on an asic or fpga that people start having made in large quantities cutting out the middlemen might work as a serious spooky moment for the likes of microcontroller vendors.

I can see it happening, riscv and litex make it dead simple to create your own custom soc on an fpga, perhaps with custom accelerators or I/O functions. It’s really quite amazing.

Imagine taking a $7 or so max10 or lattice ice40 and rolling your own. No it’s not as efficient perhaps, but efficiency isn’t everything. Flexibility to correct things at a logic level, after the delivery, could be a godsend in some scenarios where difficulty in servicing or replacing hardware far exceeds the efficiency gains.

There’s also some neat new chips that combine a hard cpu core, some hard ip for bus interfaces, and pl. perhaps the best of all if the pl is easy to use and program with open tools. See quick logic for example.
Bad title. Based on their own chart, higher-income people (defined as those earning more than $100k) have more confidence than any other group. That confidence just dropped more than the others'. This is a story about a derivative. Given the higher baseline, it may not be a story at all.
My phone is a bunch of tools, for me. It'd be hard to replace with a dumb phone, now that I'm so used to it.

- Flashlight (yeah, dumb phone could probably do this one, at least, if it has any camera at all, so a flash)

- Level (!)

- In a pinch, a tape measure (I don't trust it for anything precise, but it's fine for rough measurements)

- Tuner (as in, for musical instruments)

- Camera (video and still)

- Internet messenger (I barely use SMS, haven't for years, and despite being a relatively late adopter of the new wave of messengers like WhatsApp)

- Access point for my laptop when working but not in my (home) office.

- OTP 2FA thingy

- GPS/mapping device

- Music player that integrates wirelessly with my car stereo (that is, I can control it with my car stereo controls)

- TV remote for when my kids manage to lose all the physical remotes, which is often.

Probably some other stuff I'm forgetting right now.

I could lose the web browser relatively painlessly. And I don't do social shit on it (private messaging aside—no FB, Twitter, Insta, TikTok, none of that) so that doesn't matter. I don't game on it. Still, I'd need several other things to replace it.

It matches networks of knowledge, which is not new and can be implemented with the methods you previously exposed. Doing it right is the real value.

Please read my response to the other comment.
Both stars and math are real, each in their own way.

The way maths are real is as ideas within human minds trying to describe unambiguous assumptions in a detailed formal system; mathematical objects like spheres certainly don't exist in nature, so their definition of 'real' is quite different from the definition of 'real' for physical entities.
This is exciting! If they open source Power VR 2 then would help enable deeper understanding of the Sega Dreamcast's GPU right?

If I recall correctly the SH-4 CPU arch is already open. Just imagine documenting the console completely at a deep level!

Wonder if it might enable some now innovative ideas. We see lots of those open source "retro" consoles popping up that rely on old now open and documented 8-bit CPUs. Maybe this could allow the creation of some "Retro" 3d consoles?
The point is, there is promise in the utility of blockchain. If your only gripe with blockchain is that it is energy-inefficient and that it is centralized (but still less so than the current web we have) - as blockchain technology improves and becomes more energy efficient, doesn't your gripe go out the window?

Just because AH and other VC's have dumped money into the space, and because of the nature of blockchain and the fact that it is not regulated in any manner and is ripe for exploration currently, doesn't make the technology worthless. Your stance would have one believe so.

I'm not going to sit here and dive into the details of blockchain technology because I don't know them as well as others, but afaik, levers exist where if a token becomes too centralized, action can be taken by the stakers. Blockchain is basically just digital fiat without nation state backing - so I don't understand how you can sit here and shill for one and condemn the other. It's pretty hypocritical in my mind, even if one is the status quo.

Isn't the point of `npm run`/`npx` to run stuff in the local `node_modules` folder?

It's much more convenient to type `npx something` than `./node_modules/something/bin/something`, for example. Especially so when folder names are not obvious.
We are more mobile today than at any point in history, to be honest (at least in western European style cultures... for a large portion of the world, this statement might hold true, but to a much lesser degree, if at all). Indentures servitude has been abolished to a large degree (this can be argued, but this is argumentative on the basis of predatory and college loans) and slavery has been outlawed (again, this can be argued than prison labor is a form of slave labor in states like California when used to fight wildfires, but I'm not sure how much water those arguments hold). Conscripted military service is gone in America and a lot of European countries (though several have mandatory service requirements). Job mobility and the ability to save money is, while not easier than any point in history on a point by point history basis (the 60's and 80's, I believe were easier... check my math, I might be wrong, there may have been others), on a macro scale of history - comparing medieval, renaissance or previous Europe and Russian and Chinese wealth distribution, mobility and freedoms of self - rent/mortgage may be due, but you can still break your agreement, sell your house (there may be a penalty), quit your job and be a homeless ascetic if you want. There are dozens of YouTube channels on VanLife you can watch people doing it... not for me, but you can do it. You can join an abbey (though, I think you could have always done this... I'm not sure about this). You can leave the system and jump off the wheel, you just have to jump off the wheel and stop getting what the wheel gives you.
Darn, I rent (in NYC). I'm still not sure if buying an apartment here is a good bet long term, but I do wish I had gotten in on something when prices weren't going so crazy. I would only consider it right now if I found an amazing deal. Either that or wait for something to change with the housing market. From what I can tell, though, things are just going to get harder for individuals who want to own a home in major cities.

I think VR and text adventurers are at an odd crossroads. Text adventures are noteworthy for what they let you do with an unlimited interface. But it's also noteworthy in what you CANNOT do. In VR there's a lot of things you can't explicitly forbid trying to do, namely anything that's somewhat physical in your nearby space.
Having seen a small fraction of the tooling that the Fed uses behind the scenes, I am now convinced that there is a fairly big gap between the publicly available analysis + expertise v. the capabilities accessible to decision makers.

All decisions made by the Fed are made using comprehensive and sophisticated simulation tools, including tools that I'm under NDA and can't talk about. (However, I can say that the Fed is a customer, as that is publicly available information) Only a small fraction of this tooling is available publicly in the form of, FRB/US - https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/us-models-package.htm , FLARE - https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/feds-notes/test... and whatever ABBA is, https://search.usa.gov/search?affiliate=ofr&query=agent-base...

When the policy makers are running millions of simulations with real-time transaction data + inputs, what utility does all of the fretting and "analysis" in the media have?

The system has become extremely dense and opaque, and what is in the public realm seems to be decoupled from the policy making + expertise. At best, the public can learn from footnotes that the Fed intends to (and has) pursued simulations to track, forecast & calibrate its policies,

> 29 To facilitate analysis of settlement disruptions, systems may need to develop the capability to simulate credit and liquidity effects on participants and on the system resulting from one or more participant defaults, or other possible sources of settlement disruption. Such simulations may need to include, if appropriate, the effects of changes in market prices, volatilities, or other factors.

Tools are only as good as the people who use them. We need more transparency into the decision making aids, as well as greater access to help people understand how the economy is managed as a system.

But until then, all this media doom and gloom isn't helping.

We get a small amount of skepticism from maybe 25% of the students before they try it for the first time. After putting hundreds of our own students through the system, only 1 has given it a universally negative review, and he generally gave the entire instruction program a negative review anyway. Can't please everyone all the time.

Most of our students end up using the system multiple times. They always have the option to not use it at all, or use it from a 2D PC display. Nobody has opted-out completely, and only 1 person has opted-out of VR.

About 10% have mentioned a slight feeling of dizziness after their first session, with only about 10% of those people saying the feeling returned after subsequent sessions on later dates. We've had only 1 person who flat out couldn't use the system because of simsickness. It comes out to about 0.3% of our students, which turns out is less than the proportion of people who experience moderate to severe discomfort from watching FPS video games or action movies in a theater. I've tried to encourage the instructors to limit the first session to 20 minutes to get that 10% number down even further, but most of the students haven't minded the dizziness enough to stop and end up keep going for 1hr+ sessions.

When people provide feedback, they tell us they want more to do, higher display resolution, easier setup, and more intuitive controls. Noone has ever complained about focus, latency, black levels, headset weight, etc.

As far as I know, the most common RSA vulnerability found in the wild tends to be predictable random number generators that aren't actually random generating the same factors over and over for host keys on servers. Once one of p or q is shared between multiple hosts, you can factor using Euclid's algorithm for finding a GCD, which is over 2,300 years old.

There's the book mira 13" (and 25") and dasung paperlike 13", which is much better than earlier years but even then they have their classic eink quirks (resolution isn't going to be as good as a hiDPI display, they also need some input power to do eink at high refresh modes, etc.).

That’s just not how it works.

If no code path gets run enough times, then frankly, it simply doesn’t matter, they could have been written in bash and still be “fast enough”.

Like, I can’t fathom a program that doesn’t have loops where the actually important part happens. You simply can’t write enough “linear” code to make a modern CPU sweat even just a little. And if you do have said loop, than it will be JIT compiled.

Maybe not all of the things you listed, but the comparison to forging your own materials with expensive equipment in a painstaking process that takes a long time is very, very comparable to the requirement web3 places on individuals to invest massive amounts of resources, time, and effort to do basic things that they can do right now very simply without any such obligations. Until web3 manages to overcome these limitations your vision of a future utopian internet where everything is slower and the planet catches on fire won't be adopted by anyone except niche enthusiasts (just like building your own car).

No, she is just pointing out something that most other physicists fail to point out, particularly when talking to reporters about things that end up in articles like this one: that when physicists talk about "showing" or "demonstrating" or "discovering" something about black holes, they mean "we built a mathematical model that says X", not "we got actual data that confirms our mathematical model that says X". (There is a similar issue when physicists talk about string theory.)

> Simply because the credit system is _in my opinion_ imperfect and punishes people harshly. It encourages borrowing. i.e. if a person is responsible and chooses not to open a credit line, then their credit is considered bad, and banks would consider them risky. That's just one example.

That's a US (and maybe some other countries as well) perspective, but not the same for all countries. e.g. in The Netherlands, your credit report is mostly concerned about how much debt you have (vs capacity to pay) and if you have debts in arrears. I understood historic debt payments don't really factor into it here.

Note that different debts do have different weights. e.g. a car loan for 20k can reduce the limit of your max mortgage by 50k because its a bigger impact on your capacity to pay.

Trump foreign policy was returning America to what it should have been all along, Free Trade with all nations, entangling alliances with none. Heeding the words of our first president. Clearly he could not just pull out of decades of entangling alliances but he was signalling a desire to reduce our entangling alliances, and increase our trade. I support that, and I can see why the EU would worry about that but not for the reasons you seem to think

>>- a tendency to betray allies and leave them to die

You believe that started with Trump? That has been a mainstay of US foreign policy at least since WWII, it was not even the first time we fucked over the Kurds.

As to Afghanistan, I lay the blame for that about 80% at the feet of biden and 20% at trump, The pull out could have been done ALOT better, and I think a Trump administration would have done a better job of it.

I 100% support the decision to leave.

I disagreed with the Tariffs, however I absolutely supported his desire to increase our manufacturing base in the US, and hold other nations accountable for their abuse of trade policy at the expense of the US which has been going on since at least Bill Clinton if not longer. The US has and continues to be asked to "sacrifice" our prosperity for the good of the world while other nations refuse to do even a fraction of what the US does, and even when we meet the goals often the rest of our "partners" like the EU pants the US as a bully, as evil, as the problem. Frankly we need a president to stand up for the US.
