But to get the contradiction, you assume a finite number of primes. As each of them does not divide the new one, the new one is not divisible by a prime. It seems like your method is some kind of induction? Which probably gets a little closer to the "reason" for it, but isn't the standard proof I've seen.
You are neglecting to mention the great upsides in crypto currency.

* Giving criminals and scammers the ability to exchange goods and services anonymously.

* Providing a source of funding North Korea's nuclear weapons program

* Allowing nation states to engage in global commerce despite sanctions because they won't stop killing innocent people

* Convincing older and gullible people to give their money to someone they don't know and a technology they can't explain

* It's the future!!

EDIT: Couple more

* Transactions are so energy intensive that the currency eclipses the carbon footprint of many countries

* Those transactions are also incredibly slow!

* Matt Damon!

I think there is a use for blockchain, but as a technology for everything from buying groceries to countries using it as a currency, no.
While they are surely morally bankrupt and abhorrent, they aren't "war crimes of the highest order". Let's not dilute and devalue what war crimes are for internet punchiness when they are happening even today.

War crimes are when you break the rules of war. America mistreating its own population does not amount to war crimes.
No.

It’s suppose to be the value you added. The investors get payment for the risk they take by investing in or loaning money to the company. If a company has monopoly power and/or gets bailed out by the government consistently there is no risk to investors. What ends up happening is rent seeking a behavior by theses companies and they will also take unnecessary risks since they are incentivized to.
Its not really supposed to be an 'investment' - anymore than the dollar is an investment?

If crypto wants to replace dollars, they are going to have to do better than this.

Would you tell someone who's dollars are stolen 'don't have more dollars than you can afford to lose'?
So 57 years ago, there weren’t any programming books. Well, there was one. McCracken and Dorn, Numerical Methods and Fortran Programming. A kindly childless couple, Ben and Bluma Goldin, who lived in the same apartment house in Brooklyn, bought me this book as a gift.
An axiomatic lesson from the book was distrust of Taylor expansions, and the necessity of moving the expansion point of any function to a favorable location.
Because harmonic functions are very well behaved, it should also be obvious that even a very coarse lookup table + interpolation should converge to high accuracy quickly. Finally, use of trigonometric identities to zero in on the desired angle is helpful. OK I’ll shut up now.

The algorithm has similar complexity as binary search, but is a bit smarter on deciding how to split the test input at each iteration.

I’ve been studying this in my masters, and we’ve recently had to write a Java implementation. I’m keen to start on a Go package soon that might work well with fuzz testing.
Chrome does have an API - Selenium uses it. And selenium's chrome driver has strict rules about which Chrome versions it supports as it is versioned. So actually Chrome's rapid versioning does reflect the pace of changes to their API.
I believe they hit this milestone a little faster than you might expect (if you've been using Chrome for a long time) because previously Chrome was on a 6-week release cycle and they recently (within the last year or 2) switched to a 4-week cadence.

Okay, now think about what would happen if Argentinians used Bitcoin. The same government would use the same powers to make the same request. Any business which accepted or made transactions in unapproved currencies would be punished. Any person keeping their money in a local exchange - as almost all Bitcoin users do given how expensive it is to do it solo - would have the seizure done automatically. The blockchain would be monitored by the government to identify non-compliant users — better hope you have perfect opsec and everyone have or will use it with does too! – and anyone whose lifestyle is incompatible with their declared income is going to be at risk, too.

There just isn’t a technical fix for a political problem. If you live under the jurisdiction of a government there’s such a wide range of mechanisms available for enforcement.
> The worst thing a centralized server can do in Lightning is refuse to route your transactions.

This is called censorship, the very thing Bitcoin was created to circumvent.

It's an especially big problem given the fact that the vast majority of lightning payments are routed through lightning nodes operated by centralized cryptocurrency exchanges. Most of the remaining nodes on the lightning network are unreliable due to shortcomings in the lightning protocol surrounding state management, node connectivity, and inbound/outbound liquidity. That's not even getting into the abysmal incentive structure node operators face.

FROM THE ARTICLE: > We strive to be a bridge for everyone – no matter who they are, where they live, or what demographic they belong to – to enter the startup world.

That was the situation for me and many other I know. YC explicitly looks for overlooked founders and companies. They'll take risks other won't. They discount credentialism more than any other S-tier VC I know.

FROM THE ABOVE: > let's say that I have delivered or proven some prototype to users, but I am not already famous or rich or powerful. How would I convince YC that though I am technically gifted and people like my prototype, there is probably a founder out there elsewhere who has the ability to make the legal/manufacturing side of things work?

Keep demonstrating traction, and find that founder out there who can make it work.

FROM THE ABOVE: > Airbnb and Uber essentially disregarded local regulations and let things fall as they may. If you do that with the FCC or DOE I imagine things are a bit more serious?

That's after they had initial traction. YC accepted ABNB off of literal airbeds on people's floors.

It's only obvious in retrospect does one realize just how special the 80s were. Home computers were a new and very exciting thing. Students wanted to learn as much about them as possible — not just learning to program in Basic but also in 6502. Besides computers, music and movies at the time were amazing.

I have some concrete ideas for how to fix shape types to make them not incremental. Just a matter of finding the time to push the prototype over the line, and do a migration on Stripe's codebase to fix or silence the ensuing errors. It's one of the most requested features for sure, and I think once we implement it Sorbet will feel much better to use, especially in smaller projects and scripts where you don't want to have to define `T::Struct` for one-off data structures.
> choice might bring some sunlight to disinfect these situations [..] Rather than separate sticks I feel like a real/done well smart tv would have modularity.

At that point, why not make the hardware itself modular? The monitor acts as a dumb picture display, controlled by an arbitrary device - a PC, a Roku, ChromeOS, whatever the buyer chooses. And we're back at square one.

The reason manufacturers are moving away from this is because the lack of choice and modularity is the whole point. It lets them push misfeatures onto the user, with no recourse.
I was born in 1967.. so I remember the 80's very well. First, let me say that it wasn't all great: AIDS was pretty scary (as someone else noted).. no one knew what the hell that was and it was killing a lot of people. There was also the ever-present spectre of nuclear war with Russia...Iran-Contra, 1987 stock market crash.. However, to your point, there was no exhausting news cycle, no exhausting bullshit social media, no in-your-face, constant idiocy from the political class (well, there probably was.. but we didn't hear about it), no 20 years of terrorism and associated wars, no worldwide pandemics that killed millions, no global warming; all of which has scared the living shit out of every person alive (ya know, if you're not completely insane). I grew up in the 80's.. went to high school, and college in the 80's. I remember always being optimistic about the future. Now I'm not so sure.. I have three kids all under 23.. I do not envy what the future holds for them. (which is probably what my parents said about me;)

No. FSIN has accuracy issues as sibling mentions, but is also much slower than a good software implementation (it varies with uArch, but 1 result every ~100 cycles is common; even mediocre scalar software implementations can produce a result every twenty cycles).
The code itself sits in memory, which means the "table" is still in memory.
If you are running the burners flat out. Which you only do when getting water to boil or preheating cookware. Once up to temp, induction requires far less energy to cook with since it is way more efficient - directly heating the pan.

So yeah, if you are in the habit of routinely maintaining four pots of water at a furiously rolling boil you probably will have problems. The rest of us are likely to be pretty safe.

If you read through all of the internet once, would you know that range() is zero indexed?

It clearly cannot, because querying the network for a token executes the exact same sequence of operations every time.

But it's very impressive that it can basically recognize the Collatz Conjecture in the code and mostly guess in the right ballpark for the results.

The fact that it's just liking (in a loose sense) inputs to inputs it has seen is quite visible in the f(g(x)) vs g(f(x)) behavior - the former is significantly more common, so it struggles to work with the latter.

Nice to see Zulip is still around! I was the Zulip evangelist at a previous company, but sadly was never able to get buy-in from senior leadership on the advantages of a real-time chat system. I contributed a couple of integrations that I'm happy to see are still active. :)

My lesson from that project was that there can only be one canonical communication system due to the network effect, and that communication will naturally gravitate to whichever system senior leadership is using.

Years later the company settled on Slack instead, driven by a new exec.

Yeah, I'm mostly worried about the idea that you could not decouple your banking information from your person. You could be robbed at 3 in the morning the same as being frog marched at gunpoint into your local institution during your lunch break, but in this case your local bank would have no guards, no tellers, no video cameras, no red button to summon the police and no way to secure your section of the vault against intruders.

I don't know how they would provide any level of protection for your assets that you didn't provide yourself. If they figure that out then I'm all for it.

I don’t see problems with a monitor “smart” enough to be able to connect to devices wirelessly. That seems fine.

As soon as the thing sprouts a UI and can do things on its own you’ve got problems, though… this means that it has an onboard computer, and probably not a good one — these types of devices tend to have “smarts” on par with those of ancient low-to-midrange Android smartphones from 6+ years ago, because that’s what can be bolted in at almost no extra cost.

That lack of overhead in power means that the device has a short lifespan right out of the box. Web apps continue to get heavier and more resource intensive and will quickly make it inadequate for such basic things as Google Docs. The manufacturer also won’t support it for more than a couple years because nobody wants to take the extra time and energy to write software lean enough to run on old weak hardware.

So if “smart monitors” are to be a success, they’re going to need to do two things:

1. Don’t use such unreasonably cheap and underpowered “smarts”

2. Put the “smarts” on a module or card that can easily be swapped out so when it inevitably gets slow as mud you can upgrade it

Alternatively web app devs could make efficiency more of a priority and manufacturers could continue to provide updates for a decade+, but both of those seem highly unlikely.
> "...and so we should replace the current government with another [highly authoritarian, non-constitutionally-limited] one that can fix these issues, either through voting for an extreme candidate/party, or straight-up violent revolution".

The interesting thing to me is that this kind of attitude has become dominant across the spectrum of political ideology, in just the space of a few years. A large number of people, or at least the most vocal ones, now seem to support an authoritarian extra-constitutional goverment, they just differ on who they think should be crushed first.

I'm not blaming someone for getting scammed, that's on the scammer. But I am blaming someone for ruining their own life if they put more money into a speculative, highly risky asset than they can lose. This isn't confined to crypto, it can also be regular stocks or other investments. I mean this in a general sense. I don't mean people taking advantage of people that aren't in the right state of mind (for whatever reason) to be clear, of course I don't put the blame on those people.
> Yeah I think it's short sighted to not at least consider what an ideal smart monitor might be.

One where the user controls the software, not the other way around. All the misfeatures of smart TVs and monitors are only possible because users are unable to replace the hostile manufacturer-imposed software with something of their choosing.
> Even without them, NSA can intercept the hardware and put their software on those boxes.

Its interesting to note that not many people remember (maybe a generational thing?) Kevin Poulsen found multiple government listening devices installed on Pac Bell networks that were listening to foreign embassy phone traffic which was highly illegal at the time.

It doesn't surprise me the extent the NSA and other three letter agencies have gone to get at information they deem valuable or important.
> I remember always being optimistic about the future. Now I'm not so sure.

1968 here...

I was somewhat pessimistic about the world throughout most of the '80s, primarily because of the cold war, Libya, etc.

But when the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and during the subsequent years in the 1990s, when it felt like Russia was becoming a democracy (in combination with the explosion of the WWW), I became optimistic about society.

I look back on my optimism and it makes me feel naive. :-(
I should add that, of course, there actually was terrorism.. just not in the US on the scale of 9/11.. (which I had the misfortune of experiencing firsthand in Manhattan).

I think assuming how people feel and what people are thinking without asking them, giving them agency, is nearly the very pinnacle of arrogance. further, this can be some of the most damaging behavior you participate in on a daily basis, both to you and to the person you do it to.

I cannot overstate how toxic to your relationships and to yourself this behavior is. You need to let people express themselves, and listen when they do. That's about as close to a "prime directive" I can think of right now, when it comes to human interaction.
The $5b bitcoin recovery recently had the same problem.

Even if you converted 650m to cash it will be hard to move that around as well. At large numbers it is easy to flag for LEO in the economy crypto or traditional.
