As you are based in London, UK' let me propose a slightly different alternative.

A 1 hour journey leads you to the The Center for Computing History in Cambridge [1]. Please go there and see for yourself and interact with the history of computing. You may also buy one of the maker kits to get started with [2].

I too have a similar keen interest and there are some fantastic volunteering opportunities to deep dive and learn about the history. [3]

And there was this awesome Gaming Generations Exhibition that just got over last week [4].

You could combine all this with other equally fantastic solutions proposed here (Ben eater's videos, Nand2Tetris) etc.

That hopefully makes for a fun, interactive way of satiating your good hunger :-)

Easiest way to understand pointers is to learn it in assembler first, which is closer to what's actually going on. Then when learning the C syntax, it all fits into place neatly, rather than being mysterious asterisks and so on.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb: Why Correlation Is Unreliable [video]
Is it wrong to explore the boundaries of the art form for reasons other than enjoyment? Formal experimentation is powerful and gives ideas to later composers. By constraining oneself to the goal of enjoyable performance, one can't be as free to experiment formally.
> genuine ownership

"Not your keys, not your coins" is the opposite of genuine ownership. Actual ownership is not lost by losing possession of the thing being owned. That's the whole point of ownership.

Interesting, this is a slightly weaker form of a theory not being falsifiable. Any theory won’t be falsifiable in the next 10,000 years!

I think it’s a good idea to make these distinctions.

EFTs are reversible but have much lower limits. To move this much money they probably used a bank wire. This can be reversible if you catch it in time. But wires happen so fast the thieves will surely transfer the money elsewhere before the originator even finds out.

The notion of "problematic" as it applies to video game escapism is for me "problematic".

Is this game fundamentally worse than Pokemon a digital enslavement/dog fighting simulator?

Is the real problem with the game the name? If it was called Civilization or Rome or Age of Empires would it then be ok?

Einstein is a great example where his intuition served him well for most things, but not quantum mechanics. And it’s not his fault. He was worried spooky action at a distance was opening up physics to be nonlocal, which he feared would ruin scientific progress for practical reasons.

Quantum mechanics is also something without experiment no one would come up with in a million years.

Einstein was right to fear science anti-thetical to the enterprise. If QM were a tiny bit more nonlocal our ability to do experiments would be much more limited.

His wisdom about the limits of science was correct but QM was something no wisdom at the time could foretell without experiments.

Maybe you aren’t aware but there are probably 50 or more interpretations of QM by now. And it’s even worse on the string theory side.

I fear we have always relied on experiments, and going even 100 years without one is cause for alarm.

Just so we are all aware, crypto does not solve fraud. The result would have been the same if they paid in Bitcoin.
I am skeptical of any black hole research because it cannot be currently tested. I recently went down the rabbit hole on how the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) got a picture of a black hole because this could be used as experimental evidence of how a black hole works. After looking into how the EHT was calibrated, I am extremely skeptical of their results. I'm not an Astrophysicist, but I have a lot of understanding of statistical causality and Scientific Philosophy. The EHT processes that made the image of a black hole break a lot of the scientific methods IMO. The algorithms they use to make the image of the black hole were never tested against a known celestial body to calibrate the algorithms. They took a "a posteriori" approach to their imaging algorithms, which do not produce accurate results. I noticed their unscientific approach to the imaging algorithms after when I watched "Black Holes: The Edge of All We Know", which is a first-hand account on how the EHT developed their black hole image. They were literally testing different imaging algorithms to find the one that looked most like a circle. The correct method would be to calibrate their imaging algorithms against a known celestial body to make sure their techniques produced comparable results from other instruments. Then they should have taken their calibrated imaging algorithms and gave it data from the M87 black hole, but they skipped the hole calibration step and went right into imaging the black hole, which makes me very skeptical of their results.
Yeah and mp3 didn't fundamentally change the fact that you still listen to music with your ears. Video codecs didn't change the fact you watch moving pictures with your eyes. But they did change an awful lot about existing industries and invented new ones.

I personally have never been involved in crypto or bought anything crypto related. I have no incentive either way in its success or failure. I've just lived long enough to see what happens when stuff suddenly goes 100% digital, the pace of iteration, exploration and adoption rapidly speeds up while the costs of doing all three decreases.

I think something interesting will come of it, even if I cannot say what that will be.
I'll speak of the Genocide your buddies are committing in Ukraine as much as I want. It's utterly disgusting and if you had a sense of right and wrong you'd be protesting in your streets because these crimes are committed in your name too. But hey, it's only Ukrainians right? Not even 'real' Russians so let's not make too much of a fuss about it. /s

As for your words regarding Dutch collaborateurs during WWII, yes, we had those, and we dealt with them, but you weren't there (and neither was I) so I don't see why you would even bring it up.

FWIW: I actually like lots of Russian people, but the way you guys govern your country really has to improve, this won't end well. Already you have moved yourself to 'pariah' status and I'm pretty sure it's possible to go lower still but why would you?
With “Valuable” I meant that a lot of value is on-chain (in terms of market cap or transactions - basically whatever makes it worth stealing it).

Nobody would bother mounting an attack on some random shitcoin, so it can be secure (for all practical purposes) without wasting massive amounts of energy.

A public blockchain that carries a lot of value must burn a significant proportion of available hash power to guard against interference, so it’s either wasteful or insecure.

I skipped Aramco on purpose. It's a vanity valuation.

The true top five each created valuables businesses based on 0-to-1 products.

Aramco didn't create much, certainly nothing worth close to $2T. The Saudi autocrats just list their country's oil reserves (preexisting value, created by nobody) on this state-owned enterprise's balance sheet in order to flex on most-valuable lists.

Yikes. Wasn't aware of that one. Thanks for sharing it.

I like smart contracts but you really have to be super careful with them, and ideally they should all be audited by a third party before launch, to help catch stuff like this. But even that's not a guarantee crap like this won't happen sometimes.

If it's easy to accidentally sign up for something, does that mean it has to be easy to accidentally cancel something? Because that would be hilarious.
I also think the 'client side' mechanic is bad, but why does it should mater for investors and companies ?

Is it morally so different than say an Apple fan (I pick a random exemple of more expensive products than average where not everyone would agree they are technically superior, whoever may be right) who will argue the brand is worth the value, because if he don't, that mean he is an idiot ? (you may say at least here there is a physical good, but in gaming, nft are technically nothing more than DLC).

You are probably right about no one never did wanted to pay, and that's natural. The thing is companies want (and need) you to pay. Making people pay for games is hard and mainly a thing of the past, no wonder they try new things in case they catch up no ?
Yeah, thats fair.
The problem, to me, is that this "work" is useless. These Filipinos could be doing something materially useful, but the vagueries of money mean they're doing this instead.

I know I am being a dirty productivist here.

Maybe we can zoom out and say all work is basically psychological: It makes people happy. Including useless things, like overpaying another person to make you a coffee, or to give you a blowjob. So why not pay someone to win a virtual hat you can wear in TF2, if it makes you happy? And why not trade in opium or oxycodone if it changes your customers' mental states in ways that they value? Why not?

It just seems pointless, is the problem. I know I have no way to justify the idea that building a house (which will make someone feel good) is different from sucking a cock (which will make someone feel good) or giving them a rare NFT (same). But building the house somehow seems more meaningful and lasting. It is not just the manipulation of mental states.

It's a form of 'original sin'. It's valuable as a form of control, but it's flimsy science---indistinguishable from the null-hypothesis.
>We live in a fascist system (corporations + governance), where the government undertakes and waves through the legislation the corporations want.

That's not what fascism means.

>Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism[1] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy

It's sad that "fascist" became one of those words that are thrown around for anything (ie. politicians/parties/system of governance) that one doesn't like.
> "What I am trying to say is that perhaps the lesson you could take"

I think there's a lesson here, but it's for you rather than me.

This is tiring. You keep making stuff up for the sake of argument. I never claimed I didn't like Python; in fact I like it. I never claimed it was Python's fault.

There was a veritable epidemic of these in Singapore, with many fires and some deaths. Almost all were attributable to no-brand Chinese manufacturers that skimp on everything they can, including forging certifications. The government since instituted a UL2272 certification requirement and offered free disposal of non-compliant devices.

> You can either work for capitalists or die from various causes(starvation, lac of medical help, etc)

This is a straw man of capitalism. The idea that in capitalist countries citizens would be left to die and starve requires a great exercise of imagination.

> it was replaced by socialism/capitalism hybrid.

I agree with most of your comment actually. My point is there hasn't existed a free society without capitalism.

> So does capitalism, in the end pure capitalism failed (but not before taking lives of many people, child labour, unsafe work conditions, no health care, starvation and more)

What country society do you have in mind? I'm genuinely curious.
Well:

> The unforgiving-ness and irreversibility of cryptocurrency are the reasons that it will never gain significant adoption by “normies”.

Exactly. Such that bank / wire transfer, didn't take off or gained significant adoption by normies?

> With fiat currency, we have many systems for dispute resolution and restitution. They are not all perfect but they work often enough that people still have faith in the system.

Chargeback fraud for both the consumer and the merchant is good as well? Is that why when the payment processor encounters tons of friendly fraud in a merchants account they lock up your account and you're unable to accept payments anymore, effectively killing your business.

The bank doesn't even know if the chargeback is fraudlent or not and will take the money from you regardless of you wasting time countering the disputes to prove that it is fraudlent. Thus, it hurts both the merchant and the consumer and that system can be abused.

> Most people do not have the risk tolerance to use a system where one typographical error can irreversibly lose your life savings (for example), the product of decades of work.

Yeah, most businesses and banks are doing just fine with the reversibility of wire transfers aren't they? [0]

I think that the programming models used in blockchain are entirely wrong. This kind of thing happens all the time.
Something you will find is that sometimes you can become friends with the owners of the speciality shops and borrow their tools. I have run into this in the automotive repair field. Specifically when I was repairing foreign vehicles. Of course some times the shop will charge you for the favor and usually it is better to just recommend them for the service if they have the availability. This can also help bolster your friendship with them.

As far as monetizing something like wheel building, of course the more experience you have the faster you will be at it. In the end it is all about what the customers want, and they might value having you do it over the more experienced person for different (and possibly illogical) reasons than you might think. It might even boil down to simple availability or your location being more convenient.

Make sure you have proper insurance!
1 full second seems a lot of time, even at a very low speed, of 3.6 km/h or a little more than 2 miles/hour, that is 1 m/s, i.e. the car will travel a whole meter in that second of delay (to which you may actually need to add some delay for the reaction of the user), I would have thought that releasing the button would result in a nearly instant "emergency braking", after all there is no one in the car and even if it stops abruptly it wouldn't be an issue.
Yanis was talking of lending.

Lending in Bitcoin can happen in two ways: the first is through imaginary Bitcoin (“borrowed from future installments”) in a layer 2, which is what he was describing, although I agree that, unless the government mandates accepting money from that layer, it is hard to make it systemically used.

The second one is to only lend coins that you have. In a deflationary monetary policy, lending is strongly disincentivized, as it would need to beat both the rate you would gain from the value of your coins increasing, and the default risk.

Much of monetary policy is about finding a balance where financial institutions will be incentivized to lend despite the risk (which is already a hard sell even under inflation!) without nudging prices.

It is plausible that a Bitcoin economy in stablestate (once coinbase transactions are no longer) would have very little lending. Is it outside of the realm of possibilities that, in such a world, innovation may decrease, and legacy becomes a more relevant factor for wealth?
That's not the paradoxical part. Matter goes in, sure. But before it goes in, it is something, it has a form and a composition, it is in a state and it contains information of its prior states as well.

The part that is problematic is that matter that enters the black hole is only returned to the universe as anonymous radiation.

The universe is stateful, and while not all processes in the universe are reversible, matter and energy do encode the states that led to their present state and thus the prior states can be inferred (by a hypothetical, powerful enough computer, for example).

The problem with black holes is that the Hawking radiation from a black hole does not encode any information about its prior state.
Unobservable phenomena by hypothetical objects with contradictory arbitrary rules that have no effect on reality.
That's true, but it seems like the consumer chips that did have AVX-512 came out when Intel did not have the single threaded performance crown. We can only speculate on what Intel's motives and plans are.

I think they should embrace any ISA advantage they can muster in every CPU they sell.
Lost me after crap opening my gosh. It wasn't mysterious. It was Stripe. CSS frameworks around the time and mobile/responsive focus shifts. Throw in boom in developers new to space and JavaScript front-end undergoing a big change and that's what it was. Lots of looks based on influential designs like stripe, apple, etc and how they were being developed.
Totally agree. And it may even be that the small thing comes first. That we happen to observe some weird shit in a different domain, and once we shuffle assumptions around to fit observations we get black holes for free.
It's mostly neglect on behalf of the teams. In this case, the code was never audited and was created by a rather immature team that was rushing for production. So recupe for disaster.

In truth you can write code that is upgradable or ammendable, but always within limits of Ethereum transactions being immutable. However, when a project wants to emphasize that immutability, because that's perceived as the need by the users and the devs, then you end up in this situation.

So, as usual, the problem is solvable with a little diligence. The challenge is for crypto culture to get over itself and mature and actually perform that diligence.

I will say that there are very mature, very well developed projects that you don't hear about getting hacked, because they take advantage of the wealth of experience that's been built on this subject.
> they wouldn't agree to the rational course of action because they were intimidated by his superior intelligence.

The EU finance ministers wouldn't agree to his rational course of action because:

1. They wanted to make a visible example out of Greece, pour encourager les autres.

2. They didn't care about the social consequences of austerity and the economic depression it caused in Greece.

3. It was actually good for domestic political consumption to be tough on the Greeks. In Germany, for example, the powerful right-wing tabloids were pushing for the government to punish the "lazy" Greeks.

Varoufakis had a very strong economic argument. Massively contracting government spending while massively increasing taxes would obviously cause a severe depression in Greece. Besides the social consequences of that policy, it would also make Greece less capable of paying off its debts. This is obvious, but for the reasons I've listed above, the argument went nowhere. If you listen to Varoufakis' recordings of the ministers' conferences, they treated Greece like a vassal state, rather than as a member of a close, "value-based" union.

The way that the EU dealt with Greece is very different with how such an economic crisis would play out in the US. The common social safety net and the wider Federal budget mean that states that are in trouble automatically get increased support. The EU took the opposite approach, and induced a depression in Greece.
First you need to figure out if you're applying for a product data science position, or for an ML position, or for an ML position with a data science title.

1. Interview query and strata scratch focus more on interviews for "product data
scientists" - those interviews focus a lot of SQL, product metrics, A/B testing etc. You can also do SQL problems on leetcode for those types of positions.

2. Deep learning interviews book for ML positions - https://github.com/BoltzmannEntropy/interviews.ai - it's a bit too deep and advanced for most interviews though so don't be intimidated if you can't cover everything. Don't read this book if you're applying for a product DS position (and vice versa). You can also replace this with an ML theory book of your choice if you like.

3. For ML positions you still need leetcode and CTCI because those questions come up for ML positions anyway.

4. Take-homes. Expect more take-homes than the average for SWE positions.
The Xeon exclusive for this generation is AMX, and I believe Sapphire Rapids has 2 AVX-512 pipelines (sorry, too early to remember the correct term) vs 1 on Alder Lake / Rocket Lake. Disabling it on the consumer chips is related to the heterogenous architecture, since E-cores don't have support. Nobody knows exactly why they decided to fuse it off to disable with E-cores turned off, my guess is because it isn't fully validated/tested (save money) and a very unusual config to start with. Sucks for the 50 people who wanted to run that one emulator, and "save money" is a pretty bad reason for a halo KS product.

ECC is available on the consumer chips as of Alder Lake, it's supported with the W680 chipset.
At least require them to watch a sped up 5min video of a lithium battery bursting on fire. With attempts at extinguishing the flames. Make the user realize it will not be a normal fire. A lot of people wouldnt imagine a small solid device to act that way.
When we got fiber, our internet didn’t speed up. We just saw a monthly rate increase. The providers here throttle it so significantly that there isn’t any benefit, not even for upload. The plans that cost an extra $150 per month have far higher limits but that’s insane
I agree with basically everything you've said here, but I am more pessimistic about the outcome of this case if heard before the current supreme court. While the court seems biased in a partisan manner towards Republicans (for instance, issuing rulings from the "shadow docket" without hearing arguments in a manner that consistently favors Republican interests), it seems unlikely that they would in any way restrict the ability of the rich and corporations to pour money into politics.

One last thought is the the supreme court is essentially unrestricted in its power to interpret law via judicial review. But nowhere in the constitution was the court given power of judicial review. They invented it for themselves in Marbury v Madison. Given that context it seems pretty clear that they can decide who or what are persons in the eye of the law.
