It's probably impossible to stop it, but you could make it pretty painful by aggressively breaking/changing the API contract. You could maximally engage human ID and fingerprinting techniques and CAPTCHAs, or do machine learning on usage patterns to find likely bots and ban them if you're willing to accept that false positives will hurt innocent customers. Whatever you decide to do, it won't be free because it will also hurt your own devs (such as making it harder and more complex to work on). Obviously your own devs can have advance notice for changes, but it's still a pain to deal with.

Overall though, I would seriously ask why? Anti-cheat for a game maybe? It will cost you time/money to prevent, and it will hurt people that like your product enough to hack on it. As a user who rejoices in having APIs I can use to automate products I like, I'd be far more likely to pay you if you have an API I can use.

This post reminds me of a huge win I had, recently.

I had convinced my wife (who is not of the tech world) to switch to a password manager a couple years ago, and while she didn't love it, she's now totally on board.

My mother runs a fairly successful small online business and kept getting BS charges on her business cards along with other various occurrences. She and her employees were sharing a couple passwords for everything the company used. They weren't _bad_ passwords, but it wasn't a great set-up.

Finally, my wife and I convinced her to try out a password manager. After quite a few excuses why it would never work for her over a couple weeks, she got a another bogus charge and begrudgingly accepted. My wife went and spent a day to help her move _everything_ over, generate strong passwords, and showed her how to set up accounts for her team and share them so her team could do the same.

I'd since forgotten about all of that, as it's been well over a year since all that happened, and I assumed she went back to her old ways. Then last weekend I heard her bragging to a colleague about using a PW manager and how it's changed her life significantly - recommending they do the same.

She said excitedly "I don't even know my passwords! It's great!"

TWTR closed at 45 today because the market called bullshit on Elon’s offer. If the market was convinced by his offer, it’d be within a few percent of $54/share.

There will be no exit liquidity, it’ll go sub-30 if anyone catches a whiff of Elon dumping his shares.

In addition to the above, the STC requires that automotive gas with 0% ethanol be used. In many parts of the country, that is extremely difficult to find. In my area, the only place to buy it is one farm co-op that is way out in the country. In some places, it is not available at all. Luckily there's a website to find it, but places that carry it have been getting fewer and fewer. So the MoGas STC is not a long-term 100LL workaround.

If I'm understanding right, this CPU vs. GPU bit seems apples-to-oranges for how GPU/parallel alg research would advocate optimizing this:

- if you have one tiny network, no one cares, use pure python

- if you have a bunch of tiny networks, yes, doing a ton of tiny GPU kernel calls will kill you with overhead <-- strawman because ...

- ... you can likely combine them into bulk sparse kernel calls and spread them out. If more of an iterative simulation, same thing, just over time.

This goes back to the 80's with segmented scans, cray, & connection machines. Put all the data together, figure out regular bulk operators, even if individual parts are unbalanced or otherwise irregular, and voila. Since then, a lot of basic tricks for regularizing (sparsity, speculation, ...), and has gone into overdrive w/ GPU era.

If this is as worthy the investments these specialists are doing, as it seems to be many years of R&D by smart groups, I'm surprised they're comparing to an unoptimized GPU alg. Presumably, at some point, they did a more reasonable one?

It used to be that honest CPU<>GPU implementations were generally within 2X of one another here once you considered normalizers like performance-per-watt (= per $), though new CPU HW is closer to GPU HW and new GPU HW is fancier, so one of the funnier results is, algorithmically, you have to use the same fundamental GPU-era tricks either way.
I can only imagine what a spectacular show would it be if the load unclips at the wrong moment.

I've really started to enjoy biking "rail to trail" lines in Kansas. The Flint Hills Trail is 115 miles of biking, relatively no elevation change... but the best part is absolutely 0 motorized vehicle traffic, making it quite enjoyable.

>The fact that you can take out a loan or buy insurance and your counterparty is a smart contract is pretty interesting.

No it isn't. I've been hearing this for years and I still haven't seen any reason anyone would actually want this, beyond the novelty factor. It's strictly worse than any other equivalent insurance or loan for a number of reasons, the worst one being that there's no human you can talk to when something goes wrong. If you think it's bad enough now when your bank has terrible customer service or your insurance company is fighting your claims, blockchains are like taking that a step further by making it technically impossible to provide any kind of customer service.

>It could seriously bring down insurance margins if you no longer have drones of people administering policies.

This sentence also makes zero sense. You don't need blockchains to replace insurance actuaries with an algorithm, insurance companies could already do that. Over the long-term they can't rely on this because the whole point of insurance is you constantly readjust your models based on risk which cannot be predicted. Once again I'm reading a cryptocurrency thread where everything is wrong and nothing makes any sense.
This is extraordinarily vague, and so the replies to you so far have had to guess at exactly what you mean. Care to explain more clearly?

You don't need to be indoctrinated. You're actively ignoring any evidence that is inconvenient for your rosy picture of China. From the CCP's perspective, you're the perfect citizen. They wouldn't even need to censor if the country were full of good obedient citizens like you, who believe what they are supposed to believe and ignore what they are supposed to ignore.

Most likely because those landline phones transmitted via a copper cable while mobile phones send the audio via a heavily compressed and shared wireless connection that isn't exactly all that reliable.

Cabled connections are superior to wireless ones, even more so because traditional landlines had dedicated connections and as such had no need to compress anything.

Truth of the matter is before Elon ever gets Twitter another tech giant will buy it without hesitation.

They should sell to him because all he is doing is either buying Twitter at fair value or doing pre-launch hype for a competitor which will include the accumulation of other platforms including Trump’s Truth social, shit like substack, which he can easily get for less than 10 billion, Mastadon, etc.
I think it's reasonably fair to point out that, sure, while these people don't have the extra wealth as income, they did indeed grow wealthier, and significantly so. And generally we tax when things make money.

A couple points about common rebuttals:

"It's not liquid so it's hard for them to pay taxes on it" - we already tax illiquid things like property taxes and when people get income that's not cash, like having debt forgiven or being given a gift of stocks. And people who have debt forgiven or are given stocks as income frequently aren't as likely to have cash to simply pay the taxes when compared to these extremely wealthy owners of capital.

"it might go back down and then they paid taxes on something they couldn't realize" - this applies to property taxes too, fwiw. But also, we deal with similar issues already - if you sell a stock at a loss, you can use it to reduce your taxable income. There's workarounds here if we are at all willing to attempt to tackle this.

And it's worth noting that, sure, this might be taxed when they do eventually sell, but:

1. there is not always a when. You can do lots of interesting things with assets like this, such as borrow against them.

2. money now is worth more than money later. Letting people defer paying taxes on unrealized capital gains is VERY generous tax treatment.

It's also worth noting that this doesn't have to make life hard for John Smith, Dirt Farmer, who owns $5000 of SPY. Just do what we do for other common scenarios like this - for instance, not having to pay capital gains tax on your first $X of cap gains for your primary residence.

I'm not sure what your point is. I explicitly mentioned experiencing a 15% rise later in the same sentence. That's pretty much exactly in line with pre-pandemic prices in the chart you linked.

Also, on a purely subjective basis, the chart you linked doesn't show any "spikes" to me. There's a modest rise in early 2022, but it's roughly in line with pre-pandemic price rises.
Russia has about 150M people.

You're not wrong, but GP's error is much more object level than that. The neoclassical paradigm has flaws; claiming that all markets are perfectly competitive is not one of them. Sweet tea is a textbook case of monopolistic competition, and short run inelasticity is to be expected.

No. At monopoly, cost has zero effect on price.

Except, the cost of a substitute might, where the substitute participates in a real or regulated market. So, price under a rail monopoly may be bounded by the cost of trucking.
You will regret nearly every instance you choose a course of action that people will convince you is the "right" idea, vs. what you feel in your gut is right.

Fennel is really cool, and the fact that it builds on Lua—an already-popular language—is a huge win; Fennel gets access to the entire Lua ecosystem.

Importantly, Lua is pretty easy to embed in native applications. I haven’t found a Lisp or Scheme as easily-embeddable as Lua(+Fennel).

It’s also a good drop-in replacement for Lua. I write my Hammerspoon config in Fennel, and hopefully my Neovim config soon as well.
(nit picking) 5000ns (aka 5us) seems ... too high ... for PCIe. Infiniband, connected over PCIe can be sub 600ns for latency[1] for 2 generation old hardware.

Still, that's around 1800 clock cycles for a 3GHz CPU. Which implies there is a floor, below which you want to keep computations local on-CPU versus communicating over PCIe. Whether it be to a remote system via RDMA, or to a PCIe connected accelerator.

Of course, he refuses to ban things when that doesn't impact his bottom line! (and in fact gives him good pr)

But that's easy enough, it's free. But we do see how much he truly cares about freedom when his $$$ is on the line, say when he goes full gilded-age union-busting on his employees for example.
sounds too extreme
Reading the article, it says that the figures are looking at actual income, not changes in asset prices. It says the low figures come from a) lower tax rates from realized capital gain and b) deductions through charitable donations.

Capital gains in the US are taxed at a maximum rate of 20%[0] for long term holdings, vs income tax rates, which can go up to 37%.

Donations are also something that anyone can use to lower their own taxes, it's line 40 of the 1040 form.

So one can easily change the title to claim that the super wealthy donate more, but I suspect that's not as much of an eye-grabber of a headline.

There may be something to be said about donating to your own non-profits, but that's not what this article is about.

> Do we have to accept that MEV is a problem?

Yes and no. On the one hand, one does have to accept that "MEV" in the "_Maximum_ extractable value" is always going to be potentially present on a public blockchain - but often times, this is a good thing. Liquidity pool arbitrage is also "MEV", but is MEV that is absolutely vital to efficient markets, and the more advanced the players in that game get, the more everybody gets to enjoy liquid and efficient markets. On the other hand, more and more DeFi projects take in to consideration possible MEV extraction vectors when designing applications, and some even use "MEV protection" as a USP (such as CoWswap)
I spent awhile trying to write down why I think "Bored Ape Yacht Club" and other NFT projects aren't art, but I don't have the language for it.

A better argument would be that NFT's don't benefit independent artists, regardless of whether the content is actually art or not. I already brought up the rampant art theft on NFT marketplaces, and these NFT projects aren't about artists. Take the bored ape yacht club; go to their website, or opensea profile. You won't see any of the artists credited. The whole thing is owned by a parent company. It's just here to make money.
Seconded. Any bluetooth issues I have on Android are specific to a particular device.

The cheap anker headsets I mostly use are rock solid. I have an android head unit (second one actually, first one was garbage) and a Bluetooth radar detector. The detector always works with my phones, and never with my head unit(s).
I'd like to see a risk comparison to measure the effects of living near an airport with heavy avgas users in units of tuna-sandwich-equivalents per month.

Yes exposure isn't zero and effects from that exposure aren't zero, but let's get a good idea of how big the effect size is, because it really seems like some people have an out-of-proportion idea of what the risk actually is.

I'm much more concerned about the heavy metal exposure from nearby coal plants than I am by general aviation fuel.
That’s patently ridiculous. A device that can put out a steady 5kw at nearly zero cost generates >15k worth of electric bill offset annually in California. That would make it worth at least 15k*MTBF…

It’s be less elsewhere, but there’s nowhere that this amount of electricity would be worth so little that $2k makes any sense.

That said, this smells like total Theranos level baloney, so it’ll never happen.

I still find it pretty mind blowing that you can make a Turing complete language with nothing but S and K combinators. Good luck finding a real world application for that, though.

.NET hasn't been so "low level" that it can't consider a different string implementation since "Core". There have been multiple explorations and discussions and considerations of moving .NET to using UTF-8 string representations internally (rather than UTF-16): https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/6612

It would potentially slow down platform invokes (C/C++ DLLs) and COM calls, especially on Windows, but that's not a "low level" concern just as JNI's existence doesn't imply that Java is "low level".
