This rhetoric is crazy from the Fed; unemployment rate needs to go up, wages need to go down, but never a mention of all the unnecessarily printed money or obscene wealth inequality...

How exactly are we in a position where the highest chairs of an ostensibly democratic society can just condemn the vast majority of the populace to a stressful, slave-like existence? It truly feels to me like the end game of the elite is being played out, and capitalism has become a caste system. Socioeconomic mobility is dead, and the flogging of those at the bottom isn't even disguised anymore.

> I'd doubt BTC will go to zero

I think there's some serious liquidity issues coming up ahead. You need a buyer at the other end to sell, and I think there's an unknown point where there are effectively no buyers.

Right now there are still plenty of crypto-bugs out there that will provide some liquidity because they think things will eventually turn around, but even these people only have so much cash. There's a moment where all of these unsophisticated investors (people that bought crypto based on the ads you're describing) will panic and want to cash out (or need to for personal financial reasons).

We may already be seeing the crypto equivalent of a bank run.

So much of crypto's "value" is based on the assumption of the future success. A big enough of a collapse in the belief in this future and it will be "trading" back at the levels when BTC was just a hobby project for techies (because that's what it will become again).

I know this comparison isn’t exact, but I didn’t attempt to engage with the supposed latency measure. That kind of measurements are really variable and hard to pin down. You’d need percentiles to make even an uneducated judgement, not a single random sample.

Still… a 100KiB bundle is not that bad of a starting point. It objectively isn’t, if you measure it up to other popular frameworks.
> I’m more inclined to believe that the people of the US military bureaucracy were acting in good faith, and had a legitimate reason to believe these people were working for the enemy vs hearing the same story you hear from 100% of unrepentant convicted felons. “I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, they have the wrong guy”

They probably had a reason, sure. But you can be mistaken, or the information may not be correct.

Some people really are just "in the wrong place at the wrong time", including at least a chunk of former Guantanamo detainees. I don't know how many of them exactly because everything is secret and classified, which makes demonstrating your innocence really hard (how can you provide an alibi if you don't know what evidence was used?)

That this is also used by some guilty people is besides the point. Taking denial of having committed a crime as being "unrepentant" is a really dangerous thing to do because of course actual innocent people will claim their innocence.

Even with the best legal system with all sorts of legal protections that are biased strongly towards the prevention of convicting innocent people even if it means letting some guilty people go free, innocent people still end up in jail. When you remove those protections and add the fog of war that number shoots up quite fast.

Have you ever considered that the FED just really doesn't know what it's doing? Their track record clearly shows they are shooting in the dark on every policy decision they make. The economy is an extremely volatile, unpredictable, and sensitive system.

It's not a natural tendency for human beings, it's a literal requirement for a system that cannot operate with some form of trust.

When that trust is violated, there needs to be a meaningful way to resolve disputes. Legal tender (as in government issued) has literally thousands of years of experience with this problem, and it's no mistake that the entity with a monopoly on violence (government) is expected to resolve this kind of dispute - because resolving it may very well require violence.

The problem of course is that you're at the mercy of the arbiter resolving the disputes, but moving to crypto doesn't remove the need for an arbiter, it just removed absolutely all the legal safeguards and requirements for that arbiter. Turns out most of the "Source of trust" in crypto are scammers.

I like the very early microcomputers where the storage is paper tape punch / reader. Your ASR-33 basically types in your program, or punches it on tape when you "list".

You can see some of these on "deramp"'s videos (he is selling Altair clones, but even so the videos are great demos).

The next upgrade to this is something like the AC-30 for SWTPC. It does exactly the same thing, except uses cassette tape.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLvfUJd5PjQ

Then came disk drives, but no DOS. Instead they use disk the same way you used the cassette:

It was up to you to remember which track your file was on..

Next step: file names, but no automatic space management:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4xmZwcM52w

You write files sequentially to the disk, and you can only write to the end. When you delete there are holes. You can run a defrag program to recover the space.

This stuff was all just before my time, but there were vestiges of it in later operating systems in the early 80s.

> In the absence of a formal definition, any statement about "has sentience" is not only unfalsifiable, it's absurd.

I have to disagree with you there. While it's indeed a question of faith (i.e. unscientific) to give a definite positive answer - or rather that a positive answer depends on a an arbitrarily chosen set of criteria - the opposite is simply not true.

More formally put: making a positive claim would require a sufficient condition that has to be met. I agree that such condition/criterion doesn't exists (yet). Required conditions, however, do exist. Sentience in any scientific sense requires the ability to actively perceive- and interact with the environment, as well as a physical mechanism for processing and storing information.

So we can definitely rule out rocks being sentient, for example. On the other hand, depending on the set of criteria you chose, you may or may not classify a sophisticated chatbot as sentient. It'd be sufficient to present such set of testable criteria and apply them to the system under test. Whether you or I accept these criteria as being sufficient, is another question entirely and indeed not a scientific one.
Having seen the effects of floods from appliances and plumbing, deploying sensors for water leaks is very high on my list of recommended “smarts” for home owners. Sinks. Toilets. Dishwashers. Washing machines. Being aware of leaks and catching them early can save >$10000 (or a significant insurance claim).

Just being home isn’t necessarily enough - you’re working from an office upstairs, are you going to notice a leak? Or will it leak for 3 hours until you notice, at which point it’s equivalent to running it when you’re out of the home?

By law their residency was on the condition of employment or self-employment, so close to 100% by definition. Nowadays they are either naturalized (so no immigrants anymore) or pensioned, or returned back home after their work life ended, or already died. Keep in mind that this immigration wave was 40 to 50 years ago.

And yes, all of this is easily findable public data.

> I think we'll see in our lifetimes see prices start to escalate rapidly due to the fundamentals baked in.

I agree. One of the big risks to future political stability and, honestly, avoiding violent conflict is that these price increases won't just be rapid but immediate. People could adjust if the price of gas went up $1/gallon every year for ten years. If the government keeps the price artificially low all that time and is then forced to raise it $10 all at once, that would be very difficult.
Validating the identity of each reviewer. If they post something slanderous then the business owner should then be able to get a warrant/court order etc to force the site to reveal the reviewers identity. So long as anonymous posting is allowed there is no way to have a truly reliable platform for reviewing anything.

IDing users wouldn't be too hard to implement. There are plenty of businesses that provide instant ID verification services, many of the new online banks and money transfer apps use these services. The two issues would be cost and the fact that the number of people using review sites that do this would be pretty low.

I’m not sure that gets you much. You still have to know which parts of the code are implicated in executing those event handlers, which very likely close over other state and call into other logic. To an extent you can get that with static analysis (as Qwik does, with one-way binding), but highly dynamic code is tricky no matter what.

The national institute of science conservatively estimates that 4% of those given the death penalty are innocent. 61% of death row inmates who are later exonerated by evidence involve false and coerced confessions.

I feel that sex work is a particularly sensitive type of work. Being forced to work anywhere can be a traumatising experience but sexual violence is particularly impactful.

I don't think the risks of porn and other online content are comparable at all. If I'm watching your average YouTube video, I don't doubt for a second that the content on display was made intentionally by the video host. Your angry ex won't upload your comprehensive four hour Minecraft tutorial or the video detailing how you constructed your own army of garden gnomes.

Coercion might be a risk present in any media but there are definitely areas where the risk and impact are much higher than in others.
I think the issue is that the word "simulation", when applied to a nuclear reaction, means something very different than when applied to consciousness, and that creates confusion. If we simulate consciousness then, well, it's really not quite a simulation, it's the thing itself. A better term might be "artificial". The simulation, as with x86, is of the hardware or conditions that allow the function to be executed and not the function itself.

In this sense of things, a nuclear reaction isn't a function in the same way that consciousness is a function.
Windows 11 beer -

An innovative new taste that reminds some of iOS beer when mixed with Windows XP beer. This deafening non-distinctiveness will earn it a place in history as an exemplifier of late 2010s style. It comes in a 64 oz can which, following earlier experiments with square containers, is round again, in fact all corners have been completely removed with only one edge remaining. This 64oz can can contain unlimited numbers of other 8, 16, 32 and 64 oz cans of other beers, and the label comes in all languages except for some markets where it doesn't. In the interests of your safe drinking and continued loyalty to the beer, the can will stop you drinking from it just when you really want to while refilling itself with what you hope is not another flavour.

That what they vote on can simply be. Politicians don't like to think logistics. They exist in another realm, above the common man.

Correct. That's been the elite's plan for a long time now, and they're open about it.
It's a simply consequence of their need to raise interest rates to control inflation. If you make it harder to get loans, businesses will reduce expansion plans which in turn causes an increase in unemployment. The goal is to balance the two and tame inflation without unemploying millions.

I'm not sure how much of this was avoidable but it is the current state of the US economy.
No switching, the system looks like this:

Solar -> Charge Controller -> Lithium -> DC-DC Charger -> Lead Acid -> Load

The load is always pulled from the lead acid, but in reality if the load increases your DC-DC charger will just put out more juice (until it hits its limits) and not really drawn down the lead. If you max out the DC-DC charger yeah you'll start to draw from the lead but that is ok - that is what it is there for.

For a really large bank that you need to draw down lots of amps you may need to rework things, but likely lead acid doesn't work for you in those cases anyway. This works for banks where your load is like 50 amps or less. For my case, I have 1kAH including the lithium and I do not ever draw more than 20 amps. Works great.

> What justifies Bitcoin being valued at 30k vs 20k?

That it's a safeguard (not hedge) against tyrannical money.

This will play out over the next few years as governments will introduce digital currencies (CBDCs) to replace their own failing currencies (simultaneously robbing citizens of their savings). The bait-and-switch of this is that they will give out free money (it costs them nothing to do so) to entice people but not tell them that their money can expire, have its purchases limited to "approved" vendors, and be taken from them instantly without recourse.

Bitcoin is a safeguard against this if you hold it in your custody. This is its ultimate value: it cannot be manipulated or stolen by the state. Something that's never existed in the history of humanity.

It is surely seems crazy to me as long as these exchanges can withhold your money - which brings me to the question how this practice could possibly by legal. Is it in the contract of these pseudo-banking services that they can withhold their clients' money whenever and as long as they wish? Why would anybody agree to such a contract?

Why would one expect Bitcoin which is more-or-less trying to disrupt the world order to be stable at this point in its evolution? Maybe in 20 years it'll be stable, but now? Sort of like saying that there was political instability in US following the revolutionary or civil wars and that therefore the US would never be a country that could be depended upon for international trade.
Not to be flippant, but nobody who I've heard promote crypto has any real, deep training in economics. Computer science yes, totally, but not econ. There are obvious problems with the entire concept of decentralized money if you've studied economic/financial history. We already experienced it back in the 19th Century and it's following pretty much the same pattern. Wildcat banks, frontrunning, wash trading, bank runs, and much more.

Some brilliant computer scientists created crypto and Dunning-Kruger'ed themselves into thinking that they were also experts in finance.
