> A good investment does need intrinsic value, which BTC does not have.

Agree, USD is also not a good investment but it is still widespread to have some USD.

> It's also not a feasible payment system.

Disagree, it is used (not widely) but without issue for payments all the time. It isn't a feasible payment system for every single transaction, but that is a ridiculous goal. There is no payment system that is feasible for every payment.

> The fact that cryptos are only referenced in USD terms proves that the only real use people have for them is a vehicle of speculation

No, it just proves that they haven't succeeded in taking over the incumbent fiat currencies. Stocks are also most commonly referenced in USD prices, and they are not merely vehicles of speculation.
Funny. The day is yours arctic, and I feel I have no power to argue. Still, I lost a larger percentage in stonks today, so I don’t really know where we should be putting our fiat.
You’re protected upto $250k on deposits by the fdic. Still much better than Coinbase but just sayin’
That is sad. Hope you are doing something to fix that. Sounds like people are just randomly doing stuff even though they took time to define okrs. Why define okrs in first place if just doing random stuff? Seems like a leadership issue. If you see the problem, address it. Lead or leave.
> If its accuracy is not good enough for court

The minimum threshold for accuracy in court is zero. Courts don't make admissibility decisions based on the quality of the evidence; they make the decision on other, more inscrutable criteria.

Yes, on the snipers themselves. Aside from a gun-control related lawsuit, there was no spillover of negative attention to everyone remotely associated with the snipers' ideology or motives.

>Crypto will succeed because the rich...corrupt...liberarians want it to

Just because you want something to happen doesn't mean it will. Especially when you have to assume that we live in some fantasy world where nobody can be trusted and everything has to be done outside the influence of government (i.e. illegally) so we have to use a decentralized append-only database where nothing can be reversed because while you can trust nobody you also can trust people to not do decisions which need to be reversed.

>Crypto will succeed because it makes exit a reality

What does this even mean?

>Smart contracts, DAOs, payments, self-sovereign identity, tokenization of real world assets, a few security use-cases

these are all buzzwords or further tech that actually needs explaining as to what it's useful for (hint: it's nothing)

Agree. Now replace guns with crypto and this is basically my position. There is obviously nuance for this kind of classification for any technology.
Yes, I have seen some concerning posts on twitter about this. Since most of the established worldwide Tech started to abandon/leave the Russian market or exclude users from there they are producing worse numbers towards investors compared to the previous quarter, which results in mass-layoffs. And this tendency is already started to happen.

To avoid this, I am seeking early-stage, maybe Canada/US only startups, or region-focused enterprises, which are not impacted by this situation.

Yes it is a time sink and I can't claim having a specific methodology but if you look at all the conflicting theories, literature and endless blog posts that have been written about validation, you might as well just trust your gut.

My amateurish approach is to jot down every idea in a single line of a text file, then walk away. If the same idea or topic strikes me again, I give it a separate text file and write some copy that might go on the product page, together with links to related stuff, screenshots, etc. Then, after another few weeks and only if I still believe in the idea I come up with more details, perhaps do some light coding, brand ideas, register domains, etc. Then (You guessed it), I wait another few weeks or even months and if it passes my still-relevant check I start working on it on the side of my existing, well, side project. The challenge these days is when to pull the plug or go all-in since the market, interests and attention shifts so quickly that it's tough to adapt without losing temper. Doesn't get easier as you get I older.

I mostly agree with you - there is a lot of "something something machine learning!" going on without any concrete use-cases that it enables that wasn't possible before.

I think it will just be another tool available and we'll slowly see it creep into places without making earth shattering improvements. An example that comes to mind is IDE auto-complete that GitHub and others are doing - better than what we had before, but not exactly revolutionary

Apart from within academia and niche places like deepmind, I get the feeling that ML roles and positions will become the new DBA roles of the past - ultimately super-dull jobs where you are just shuffling around storage space, migrating data, or provisioning new tables/models etc without actually adding any business value or getting involved in any of the user-facing work etc.

It is already starting to get heavily commoditized with downloadable pretrained models etc... I see a lot of interns etc who want to come solve cancer with machine learning. I hope that there are not too many youngsters better their career on making it big in machine learning (unless as a researcher) because I genuinely feel like machine learning will just be some library/black box that 99.9% of the time will just be a downloadable pre-trained model that you add like you would if you needed to add OCR support to your product.

I am sure there will be some exciting new things that we'll see of course, but I think they'll be step-wise improvements, rather than huge leaps that open up entirely new worlds of opportunities. E.g. CNNs made image recognition much better (and anyone can now download a really powerful pre-trained model and beat state-of-the-art from just a few years prior etc), but it only made image recognition better - we could do it before, just not as well.
I don’t see what you’re referring to. Can you provide a link?
Okrs are very hard to define when either or both of the following occur:
1- you don’t know your business
2- you are not competent

I find #1 is more prevalent as most people are competent but I might be a bit generous in that assessment.
Yeah, you're probably right. It would be nice to be able to turn off the scorekeeping though.

Industrial-level deployments have dropped precipitously in price but personal-scale ones have not. It still takes two decades for home solar to pay for itself. Portable panels for camping are about the same price they were five years ago.
I'm curious to dig into this a bit more. In general, I'm skeptical about those use cases.

* If it's a governance token system where more money == more power...well, I just don't think it's a good idea in general.

* If it's a system that tries to replicate the idea of one person/one vote, you have to have KYC (and re-KYC upon membership transfer) or it devolves into the first case. Then the entity doing KYC has centralized control over membership, so it seems like storing membership info on a ledger doesn't offer any benefits compared to just having a central membership database.
DeFi is, after all, notably devoid of serious compromises :-)

More seriously: there are cryptographically sound schemes (like CT) that address CA compromise.
Where was it implied that it wasn't? Of course it's cryptography.
> One day I'll experiment more with OpenMW (especially once it reaches modding parity)

If you want to keep vanilla mechanics (mostly), then OpenMW has already had modding parity for at least several years. In fact, OpenMW is already mostly working on enhancements and performance improvements rather than stability and feature parity with the original engine.

AFAIK, they have their own modding guide, which is pretty extensive, and the minority of mods that aren't compatible are just those which are obsolete (not updated since 2004-5) or superceded by other, better mods, anyways.

Fun idea. We're about test out melodies I've created together with a generative neural net and see how they're rated computer to real melodies. The plan is use Amazon's Mechanical Turk but one problem is what to do about real melodies that people will mark as already familiar to them. I think making it a comparison with unfamiliar melodies should be fine?
I think I've been very precise. But if it isn't to your liking, here's another formulation: I believe that cryptocurrencies should be banned.

But then again, what if what I mean by ban is a "partial ban." Opportunities for misinterpretation abound!
Copy and paste is the opposite of how okrs are intended to work. But traditional annual goal-setting models do cascade.

Unfortunately Doerr presented a football team example in a pathetic attempt to explain how okrs cascade directly.

Because of this, okrs have been done poorly at so many orgs. Sadly, okrs software companies saw the simple computation from set theory to make krs be children of higher level objectives so they could make cool visual maps illustrating how okrs connect.

I’m aware of a use case where person/asset location is being determined using a distributively owned set of radio transmitters so that proof-of-location can be established without use of GPS.

Plenty of supply chain use cases already exist using private chains/ledgers — this will skew more toward public chains or hybrid solutions as demands for transparency amp up.
In the U.S. at least, anyone dealing in things financial has to be very careful not to violate any number of laws involving money handling, banking, insurance, securities etc. It's not enough to say 'we don't do that' or 'we're not a registered X and therefore not required to do Y'. If a relevant government agency decides you are an unregistered X, or otherwise violating the law, be prepared for an expensive multi-year legal fight and most likely to lose unless you are really doing something completely new that actually isn't like the old thing[1] they are tasked with regulating/enforcing.

I'm actually quite surprised that some of these scams (stablecoins being one example[2]) have been allowed to go on as long as they have.

[1] i.e. buying you at least a temporary reprieve as all you're winning is the argument that that particular law doesn't apply to you, not that they won't pass a new law and come after you using it.

[2] It sure looks to me like they're pretending to be defacto banks issuing their own defacto dollars and not so subtly assuring 'investors' a rate of return. The combination of these factors have historically been all but guaranteed to get damn near every agency of the govt on your ass.

heh, I was overexposed to high-growth tech stocks the whole time, so I probably lost just as much over the same period of time. If somebody won, it sure wasn't me! I've also watched this space long enough to know that crypto is the T-1000 of financial schemes. I've no doubt she'll be back - probably stronger than ever - no matter what I think. This is my third crypto boom/bust cycle.

I'm not dancing on graves here, so I hope it didn't come across that way.

Stocks have intrinsic value, BTC does not.

There will be a hell of a lot of synthetic ammonia. The shipbuilders and ship fuel suppliers are already tooling up for ammonia-powered shipping. It will take a long time to get electrically synthesized ammonia production up. GW-scale plants under construction now won't start delivering until 2026.

There will be a lot of hydrogen banked in underground caverns and tapped-out fracking wells. But industrial users who have been buying it, or LNG, will take to electrolysing locally instead. Airports will electrolyse and liquify locally, international hubs first.

Everything's fine as long as it's voluntary. And by voluntary I mean both not compulsory (mandated by some level of government) as well as not normalized to such a degree that virtually every electric provider independently offers no other option. These types of things have a way of worming their way into our everyday lives; I imagine I'm not the only one who is wary of loss of agency from this as well as other similar things as the Overton window is dragged farther and farther away over time.

1. He invested heavily in BTC and literally created an exchange to take profits from future BTC trading.

2. Investing in his vision is laudable, but a third party presenting said efforts as proof of BTC having no future should be called out due to the obvious conflict of interest.

Twitch was used to stream the event, 4chan/8chan/Discord were likely used to promote the event, and reddit was likely used to plan it.

Ahh, Morrowind. A conworld so good that the community effort put into modernizing it may have eclipsed the amount of work put into creating it in the first place. The OpenMW project is extremely impressive.

I was going to say something like, "you owe it to yourself to play this game." But my parent's generation said the same thing to me about CRPGs like Planescape: Torment, and as a working adult, I never had the time to figure out their convoluted gameplay systems.

So more realistically, give Morrowind to your children. Figure out how to install it, get a character to Balmora to make sure it doesn't crash every 5 minutes, and let them go nuts.

Self custody of (some fraction of) wealth is a means of diversification against risks of thugs in various official capacities.
