So given we all know that there are indeed scams on Ethereum, does that mean that all of crypto will go away entirely as a result of this 100%?

I know precisely that I see the same old arguments against crypto time after time, but somehow despite all of these scams, carnage, etc. it still refuses to die somehow.

Maybe companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Stripe, Monegram, and even the regulators want it to succeed? If not, they would have banned all the exchanges, coins, and removed all wallets off of the apps stores a long time ago.

So I'm afraid that it is here to stay, with some survivors existing for a long time under certain compliance requirements and other crypto projects withering away.
> Unsafe is perhaps poorly named, and several Rust core team members have commented as such. It doesn't mean memory unsafe, it means "not checked by the compiler".

That's lack of memory safety when your memory safety work is done during compilation, as is the case with Rust.
NVidia is claiming 1000 16-bit Tensor-FLOPS on Hopper: https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-hopper-architecture...

While Tesla is claiming less than 400 Tensor-FLOPS on D1.

So yeah, the claims of NVidia's GH100 / Hopper GPU are an order of magnitude faster than the D1. Which is no surprise, because when your transistors are less than 1/2 the size of the competition, you can easily have 2x the performance in a embarrassingly parallel problem.

--------

Note that the A100, released in 2020, offers 312 TFlops of 16-bit Tensor matrix-multiplication operations per second. Meaning D1's chip is barely competitive against the 2-year-old NVidia A100, let alone the next-generation Hopper.

And note that NVidia's server-GPUs (like A100 or GH100) already come in prepackaged supercomputer formats with extremely-high speed data-links between them. See the DGX line of NVidia supercomputers. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/dgx-station-a100/

--------

You can't beat physics. Smaller transistors use less power, while more transistors offer more parallelism. A process-node advantage is huge.
So a little like Hawaiian volcanic red dirt soils. At least one of the moon landing sites would have been in the red dirt. Would be interesting if the moon landing footage from there also matches up with a color grade of a redish tone.
All the photos I've seen the ground is supper grey.
SQL is having somewhat of a moment in the bigdata world, thanks in part to 'modern datastack' and new age datawarehouses like snowflake,bigquery.

However there are a lot of pushback from 'traditional' dataengineers who were trained on spark/scala. Its bit of hardsell to go from a highly typed language to a free for all text based logic.

I think the following is needed for sql to be finally accepted as 'serious' contender.

create compiled sql language ( not pandas)

1. that compiles to sql and addresses some of the issues bought up in the post like nested aggregations.

2. make code reusable. Eg: apply year over year growth to a table that has the requisite columns. Compiler should check this in ide.

3. make materializations first class concept in the language. No seperate dbt layer.

4. crate a way to package and distribute libraries that you can import into your project .

5. a unit testing framework that makes it easy to test the logic without having to setup test tables in the database.
I'd love to use a non-web-based email client, but I do need it to sync between my devices, including labels, and search to be available over the entire corpus.

Really surprising to see an article about email clients seemingly ignoring the fact that people have multiple devices. You can set your client however you like, sure, but for most people that's useless if it doesn't work the way you like consistently.

E.g. if my labels show up as clunky folder-ish things, no thank you.
What an exciting project! I'm going to mark my calendar for 2 years from this date to check back in on the published results.

>One treatment for gout involves stuffing a puppy with snails and sage and roasting him over a fire: the rendered fat was then used to make a salve

While extremely horrific to read, it reminds me of a similar belief relying on animal abuse in the 18th century regarding the latitude problem. People back at shore would dip the bandages from a wound inflicted on a dog, which would supposedly cause the dog on board to yelp. Dip the bandage precisely at the hour, and you'd supposedly have a means of telling time on board[^1]. Admittedly, this might have been satire, but I found it an interesting anecdote.

It also reminds me of early books of knowledge and the speculum literature that developed and grew during the period mentioned in the article. The plants section of those texts, to my knowledge, generally focused on their medical applications. There's a sense that magic was seen as not only present, but also commonplace, and honestly there's a thrilling sort of mystery in reading those sorts of texts.

I'm excited to compare these to some of the writings of Al Rhazes and others, in that also give medicinal and medical advice.

Thanks for all the great advice. I've started working through LC myself, and I think using your method would make the process more efficient.

I think it'll be better for me money-wise once I land a top-tier job. It'll also make my resume much better.

I'll just uninstall my video games, and start practicing.
Thanks.
Wellbutrin... Seems getting my depression in order did magnitudes. I've lost 60 pounds with no real focused change in habits. I still even drink soda, I just eat a lot less junk food because I don't really have cravings anymore and not feeling like I need a chocolate fix daily is huge.

I might eat something chocolate once a week instead of 2x daily and that's big.. Plus I focus better. I'm also on ADHD meds but it didn't work as good when I was depressed because it's used to focus on something productive when you're not motivated to get out of bed.

Mental health apparently contributes to obesity a lot more than I ever thought.
Not a real answer, but I got a RAV 4 Prime- it's hybrid- but I never engage the engine. I've driven 6000 miles on two tanks of gas.
What’s most important? To make something long lasting, something that’s not crap, or something that’s usable to others? Because there’s a lot of long lasting crap that’s really usable/useful to others. And there’s a lot of great ephemeral stuff that’s really usable/useful to others.
Building Pong in Your Terminal with Go: Part Two
The part about PoW is falase. If 66% of miners really want to censor you, they will also censor the other 34% of miners if those miners choose to mine a block including your transactions.

If <50% of miners want to censor you, they can make it take longer for your transactions to be processed. If it's >50% (or thereabouts) they can prevent your transactions from every getting confirmed. Sure, the 34% could collude until they happen to produce 6 blocks in a row, but each individual member of that group would make more money by going along with the censorship and not being censored themselves.

I believe it's similar with PoS, but with somewhat different incentive magnitudes.
> Search your heart, do you think this story ends similarly if they decide to all do "modern C++" instead?

There is a confusion in language used. Bitcoin has two types of actors: block consumers and block producers. Ethereum has three types of actors: block consumers, validators and block producers. Thing often described as "full node" does just that - it consumes blocks, checking if blocks are valid. Ethereum validators are different, they not only consume blocks, they also attest their correctness for the rest of the network.
That phenomenon isn't limited to patents. That just happens to be an area you're knowledgeable enough in to recognize obvious falsehoods. Imagine the other topics you (we) read on this site that we aren't savvy in.
There are plenty of streaming services that have ads - Hulu and Disney+ have an ad-supported tier, for example, and it's foolish to think that Netflix won't introduce an ad-supported tier as soon as they think their customers won't revolt. It's the most obvious solution to login sharing - give a very cheap or free ad-supported tier and then monetize the hell out of them.

Netflix already has ads - just for their own shows.
While all the criticism is probably correct, and SQL definitely shows its age, it's still very much good enough for pretty much all its current applications. Also, SQL's basics are very easy to learn. These aspects make it very hard to imagine a language that might gain enough traction to actually replace SQL in a foreseeable future.
> try to run at zero cost and leave it alone for a year or even better 3 years

I'd love to try, but by the end of year 2 I would have already lost 7200 € on social security contributions alone unless I evaded taxes. Running at zero cost gets really tricky in certain countries, I'm afraid.

You're citing a stat that has nothing to do with my comment. You've picked deadly outcomes, which obviously favours bikes.

As a pedesrian, the risk of being hit by a bike riding on the pavement is higher than by a car driving on the road. As a pedestrian I can tell you that I have been hit by bikes several times but luckily never by a car.

That makes bikes more dangerous to me than cars are.

Cyclists are not forced on pavements, by the way. They make a conscious decision (even if that breaks the law). Sometimes they are allowed to ride on the pavement but unfortunately many are not considerate of pedestrians.

Ideally pedestrians and cyclists should be physically separated. When not possible cyclists should be very careful and considerate. Just common sense, really.
Before quitting think about having a Business plan and a correct Business model canvas, think about how to monetize your project.

Maybe the project can have an OSS target, and a $$ target on the enterprise solution.

How much do you think to do with support with your project? those kind of questiona are the starting point whenever you want to create a business from your OSS passion
Many streaming subscriptions have ads on their cheapest tiers, requiring you to pay more if you don't want to see ads. And if you're watching anything live, whether it's streaming or cable, you're getting ads regardless.
Show HN: Cross Platform Go GUI
Yep, I remember dialling that number and holding my phone up to the telly!
Seems more likely to me that they add uploaded images into their data set and someone uploaded a watermarked image.
For cross platform framework. I would recommend Avalonia https://avaloniaui.net/
It has the flexibility and cleaner version of WPF but also lets you build it all in code if you choose like Flutter. They have a support business to support the project. So you know it will be well supported for years to come. The team is very responsive to the community also.

If I was Microsoft I would just fork Flutter and add C# support and call it a day. Flutter is really flexible for mobile and desktop and has a ton of community support with libraries.
It’s disheartening, especially so in a tech community, to see comments appear so quickly to cast judgement. “Dual licensing is not open source!”

This is same kind of pedantry that haunts every thread like the last. We know that a bowl of cereal isn’t thought of as a soup, nor is a hotdog thought a sandwich. And yet, there’s always someone out there with the time to argue semantics.

The proof is in the pudding! Software developers who have any business sense will tell you that customers presume that open-source is synonymous with source-available. Marketing your software with that presumption isn’t a moral failing — It’s business!

And if anyone out their still has an unfulfilled quandary, I would recommend that they try to monetize their open-source code and experience the illucrative rewards of the MIT and BSD licenses.
This is something I never understood.
Why so many bike theft? a regular new one is 3-4 hundred$ and cannot be sold that easily (Say vs electronic goods). Why theft is so popular?

I mean thief can steal one for their own purpose, but then what? He steal another one every weeks?

I dont get it.
Typically the Java APIs are restricted to the bare minimum Chrome Android needs to do sandboxing and native code-gen for V8. Shared memory only works in a more limited way with many less options. They'd really like to restrict these APIs way more and not allow apps any way of loading dynamic native code with the exec bit set, but can't because of Chrome and antitrust worries about just making Chrome system software with access to the APIs it needs that a competitor couldn't replicate in an APK.

I think you can see some of their thinking with the removal of exec; they just want to undercut termux because that isn't needed for V8, but as long as loadable generated native code is still needed for Chrome, termux could potentially create their own ELF loader to replace exec).
That is a beautiful quote, I had never read it. Novelty and ever growing detail of artistic creation have their limits and their downsides. Video games are an excellent example of this. Take early 3D games like Thief, a steampunk thief simulator game with blocky, polygonal graphics. In the game, you navigate fairly simple geometric environments looking for loot, avoiding guards and exploring the world. In this simplistic setting, interactive objects are clearly visible: a key, or a pile of gold, or a golden goblet. These are all visible as objects in the world. You see a key on a table and you pick it up. The simplicity of graphics allows for extremely clear visual communication and a highly immersive experience. You explore the world with your eyes and ears and wits alone.

Fast forward to today's AAA games, dense in extremely complex and detailed graphics. The player can no longer spot the key on the table or the pile of gold coins, there is too much noise, too much novelty, too much density... so now games have glowing icons showing you where to look and what to pick up. Minimaps to keep you oriented in the level. But what happens? The player is no longer immersed in the world, seeking loot with their own eyes, they are simply following the glowing icons, sleepwalking through the game world. All the detail and artwork glazed over and ignored. The game no longer succeeds at visual communication, because it is too dense, and in its quest for realism has actually lost immersion.

Why do so many people love Monet's impressionistic art when other artists have painted far more realistic flowers and fields? Why is it that some of the greatest art of all time came from limitations? Why do people love movies with practical effects more than those with the most impossible and incredibly detailed CGI effects? I think your quote really captures the truth that AI and ever growing ease and detail of artistic creation can never replace the raw beauty of humans doing their best with limited tools.
You aren't wrong, but I don't necessarily think people should be deriving the majority of their social interactions from work in the first place.

This probably suggests that we should be working less, generally speaking, and doing more in our communities. I'm not religious, but I do wonder how much of this "be in the office so I can get social interaction" is because the office has replaced the church and the community center. That, to me, is the engine of loneliness; even if you make good friends at work you do lose significant shared context with them when you or they move on.
Yes, it's a "basic" chat app. Like google is a "basic" search engine, how hard can it be to make something like that? Just make it go search?
I think bitcoin has proven that if the economic advantage of a proof-of-waste system is big enough you can create truly huge amounts of waste. I don't think we want to add that to spam.

> the solution to spam is to make it expensive: either monetarily or energetically.

This is used nowhere in practice? In practice, the solution is for a small number of dedicated central spamfighters to cooperate on lists of known spam IPs, or correlate across a large number of emails to produce statistical markers of spam.
NGINX has a perl module dating back to the early days, very much like Apache mod_perl. The njs module just gives you a more modern language option.
Google falsely told the police that a father was a molesting his son
I can't say I've experienced that. But there are a lot of bicycles which you need to be aware of as a pedestrian to a much greater degree than many other places.
Who gets to decide if something should be slashed
Not only that but I feel that a lot of these “are we going back to cable” are people too young to have used it.

Having to pay for a bunch of a channels you didn’t want wasn’t at all what separated cable from streaming.

Being able to choose what you watch along with not paying for the pleasure of watching ads is why streaming won out.
My point was the last sentence of what I quoted doesn't quite match reality. We do prosecute people for sick thoughts in some of these cases, regardless of whether we should.
Something really interesting here if you read the title and comments first is that this is an optical thing. It's not software running on the camera, it's physical.
I live in suburbs between San Jose and San Francisco, and haven't driven in a while but on a typical car trip I see someone run almost every other light at busy intersections, seeing a motor vehicle come to a full stop at a stop sign is rarity as well unless there is a law enforcement vehicle watching. I have learned to wait after a light turns green for me defensively to make sure someone else has not decided to gun it and run the light.
A safety rule every cyclist understands after a close call or two. Don't ride too close to the curb and especially not if there are cars parked. Very nice you have that codified in law.
I don't know the specific rules for Ethereum, but in general PoS systems, anyone can slash. All you have to do is submit two different headers for the same block signed by the same validator. This proves the validator is cheating. The person who submits the proof may get to keep some of the validator's slashed money, which is a good incentive to run slashing nodes as this can amount to thousands of dollars per slash, and a good incentive not to double-validate as this can amount to thousands of dollars per time you are caught.

Perversely, since double-validation happens rarely, since it is expensive, the actual interface for slashing on e.g. BSC is not well-documented or user-friendly.
In British Columbia, we solved it by switching to a "no fault" regime where motorists and the government insurance provider are simply legally impossible to sue for damages. If you are rendered as a quadriplegic because of a negligent driver, you may get some of your rehab paid for by the government if they agree that your therapy is required. You will receive precisely $0 for your reduced quality of life.
So, problem solved. Simply abdicate any responsibility for the disastrous consequences motorists impose on pedestrians and cyclists, all for those sweet sweet low premiums!
It doesn't run on Linux. Not sure how they can call it "cross platform" if it doesn't run on Linux. Maybe across Microsoft's platform.
Look at that reflects
Perfect thanks I'll check them out!
So don't use Lloyds? Got it.
I have a PLEX server/torrent box behind a VPN. I then wrote a fairly simple Apple Shortcut that grabs the magnet link off whatever page I’m on, then shoots the magnet link over the torrent API.

It took some work to set up, but I shared the Apple shortcut with my wife and she now uses it and it’s super easy and convenient. So much so that I need to buy a new hard drive as she’s filled up our 8TB drive with TV shows.
I think these are great suggestions.

It seems like you're suggesting that someone could design a functional-style programming language that compiles to SQL.

2 & 3 are my biggest pain points. I can't just extract functions like I can with a regular programming language. Instead, SQL queries get increasingly complex with no great tools to manage that.

For 3, products like https://materialize.com/ look interesting for being able to create derived materialized views that can efficiently be kept up to date.
> almost all open source work is on GitHub. I don't think I ever saw

"all open source work that I know of, is on Github"

Where did you look for source code, on Github. Where is the source code you found after looking? Github. Where is "almost all open source work" that I saw? on Github. etc..
Easy way around that is to use a CI service like GH Actions. Build it there, push it to dockerhub, and you're done.

Have it run on a schedule to keep it updated, if necessary. Alternatively, GH Actions allows you to set a manual trigger so you can rebuild whenever.
Are there known cases of miners or other organizations resisting this transition? Will there be people left mining the old proof-of-work chain? Something like Ethereum Classic but for PoW.
>This issue is highly ideological and politicized on both sides. Suggesting medical transition for any minor is not currently supported by the evidence.

Neither is conversion therapy, but SEGM happily associates itself with advocates for it , along with evangelical organizations. Indeed, such advocates are found among 'expert witnesses' in the Tavistock case. Maybe Vice should report on these associations. Maybe people who are just deeply concerned about child welfare should pay attention to them, too.
You'll note I didn't say that, as for some people deleting their FB account is not an option.

I do heed my own advice; I do not have the FB app installed on my phone.
I beleived that too. But recently, one of my uncles, who was being considered to be promoted to being a director in his company, was rejected because the other person who got promoted, had a masters degree.

And my uncle was like, "I wish I had done my masters degree when I was young".

It feels stupid to say this out loud, but this incident did impact my thinking.

Edit: My uncle works at an automobile parts manufacturing company, I'm not sure how his experience applies to software industry.
I always appreciate blog posts like this, there are obviously cases where SQL shines, and in part I think the dataframe abstraction helps with filling a lot of the missing pieces that SQL doesn't handle so well (composability, debuggability, interactivity, etc.)

Even pandas (with all its faults) is more flexible as a language than SQL[1]. I'm of the opinion that there's a better together story in the end, but I guess we will see.

To be honest, having read through this entire thread, you are the only user that sticks out as having some below-the-surface agenda and hiding behind a new account.

People in glass houses really shouldn't throw stones.
I wholeheartedly agree, its one of the things I like the least about Godot. That being said, I used Unity for about 8 years, 2 years ago I switched to Godot and never looked back. I think I tried Unity again once, for a few hours, then went back again. Its also worth noting that I prefer ECS as a programming style, which of course Unity uses and Godot doesn't, and yet still I'm using Godot.

It really is that good of an engine. I have my issues, plenty of them even, but for the most part its a joy.
The title of the section posted is "Rust - A hard decision...".

Running a small validator is much riskier than being a small miner. If you're running a validator and have network downtime or any operational issues, you risk losing funds (the inactivity leak[1]). If you're mining and you have downtime, your only downside is the opportunity cost of not mining any blocks while you're offline.
