>1. He didn't say it will go up to $10k "soon." That video is talking about long-term performance.

I remember reading his LinkedIn post on this $10k topic. In it, I think he said something along the lines of "soon".

But it really doesn't matter. Saying $10k ETH is the same as a random crypto bro saying $100k BTC soon. There are no fundamentals. Just shilling. Marketing. Ponzi-like behavior.

I don't doubt that ETH might go up to $10k eventually, given enough time. After all, crypto is basically trading with Nasdaq nowadays.

>2. ETH is down just 27% since that video, and has moved farther up than down.

Down 40.97%

>3. It's only been a year since the video, which is talking about The Merge as one of the factors behind this belief, and The Merge hasn't happened yet.

He said the biggest factor is that ETH is deflationary: https://youtu.be/jo58qEoThSs?t=381

He suggests that this makes ETH "ultra sound money".

I'm not going to argue for or against this idea.

>4. Quote from the video: "It's not really gonna be that smooth a ride to $10000."

Sure. Anyone who's been in crypto long enough knows crypto isn't a smooth ride. It doesn't say anything.

Having a TV actor speak in their natural accent might be mocking them, if it's normal to have them fake a different one.

Probably not, but cruising is likely cheaper than you expect and (if you are currently living in a major US city) significantly cheaper than your current situation.

Everyone has different standards of what they consider “liveable” especially when it comes to boat maintenance and preparedness. I cruised for a while just fine with almost nothing in the way of systems or electronics (paper/home brew charts, no radar/ais, no ac or refrigeration) boat expenses were definitely my largest slice of expense after food/beer and it still only accounted for about $3-5k per year (amortized over a few years). Some larger maintenance items are only semi annual, other big ticket items (eg sails) can be procured used and last for another 5+ years.

Also I didn’t have an engine so I guess that costs money too to maintain but all of this is to say it’s like anything else… it’s as cheap or expensive as you make it
If you were really good about budgeting and the frugal life, you might be able to do it at £50/day sustainably—and that doesn't include the cost of your time. You'd have to pick your spot strategically and you probably wouldn't be doing any ocean crossing at this level.

Literally everything on a boat has to be replaced (other than the hull, hopefully) over time. Sails and rigging only last so long depending on where you are. Even good engines need to be rebuilt after 5k hours or so. Decks need to be redone. Antifouling needs to be reapplied. And those are just the big expenses that will average out over time. Anything that lasts over 10 years on a boat that is actively sailing should get a special award. That is to say, a £100,000 actively used sailboat will require at least £100,000 every 10 years to keep it safe and seaworthy. So right there you are starting at a base cost of around £25/day.

Total cost is going to be somewhere around £50-£100/day, especially if you want access to a decent marina and/or mooring spot. At the upper end, £100/day, you can actually have quite a nice setup if you get a really good hull in the 10-14 meter range and are willing to put in the time and work to do the maintenance yourself. Plenty of left over money for groceries, shore trips, and other supplies. You could cross oceans safely.

£5/day will get you nothing. That's only £150/mo, and the odds are good that you need to buy at least £150 worth of parts and cleaning materials a month. Depending on the boat, a single simple part like a latch can easily be £150 itself depending on where you are going to need get it shipped from and how quickly you need it. At £5/day you are pooping over the side of a boat which is rapidly disintegrating and you're probably suffering from general malnutrition and scurvy. So it definitely can be done, but at this level it's really just being homeless with extra steps.

Given than GPT-3 could create narratives, it would probably be too suggestive. Much more simple prediction models for writing (ie: not coding) are used in a few places. Google Docs has a pretty good one.
You are right to point at Apple, as they have been and still probably are the blocking piece for this to not become a reality.

NAS vendors saw that future and worked toward it. Synology's solution is pretty extensive and could have been a real game changer... if it wasn't for:

- being a PITA to handle network shares on the mac

- iTunes being the prevalent link to iPods and iPhones for such a long time, even for local file exchange

- music files being the sanctuary no third party messes with on iPhones

- photo sync being such a PITA as well for anything non Apple for so long (still is?)

- iOS backups being iCloud only

- even Time Machine backups require more specific adjustments that make it harder for normal people to use outside of the Apple offering.

Don't get me wrong Google also screws the market in so many nasty ways, but Smartphone got rebooted by Apple, and they royally fucked it for so many third party applications to cement their own services' profits.
Bollocks - really, really big bollocks.

I'm 52 and wrote quite a few letters by hand on paper and posted them. You do not get to riff about something you have never experienced. This wankery is absolute twaddle.

I doubt that whomever created this monstrosity has actually written a letter or a bluey.

I've read through the nonsense "by an army of ethereal code-monkeys" and it is awful. Who on earth says: "It is a rare thing, my lord"? For starters Lord (capital L) and no one I know would even say that.

This is not Victorian English. It is not even English English.
Because processing abuse tickets is hard and labor intensive. If reporting abuse to a host lead to shutdowns as swiftly as YouTube DMCA it would become a denial of service attack method. Or the abuse ticket queue would be flooded and it would take even longer to cut off bad actors. Cloud services are notorious for abuse traffic. If they were required to raise KYC requirements it might mean the end of $5/mo. VPS. Finally hosting services have an inherent conflict of interest between making money selling service and cancelling someone's account for abuse.
I saw it mentioned elsewhere as removed from Netflix, glad it’s up on the NBC streaming service.
The specific idea, way back then, was DiSo [1]. Believe it or not, privacy wasn't the concern back then. The real problem was UX. Setting up and maintaining this stuff was Hard, and the network effect mattered a lot more in getting adoption. Facebook was really good at onboarding flows. OpenID lost to Facebook Connect for similar reasons.

Sadly you're right. I've been monitoring in the trenches for a while and what you said is covering it perfectly.

RE: maintenance, I was aware but was wondering whether Luapress is mature and complete enough to not need maintenance. I'll give it a go.

And I truly get your point about point releases of languages breaking stuff. I am severely burned out on that front myself that's why my next game plan is to buy and setup a Linux workstation and just isolate various software pieces that I [might] need in Docker containers and periodically backup those for extra good measure.

I am done with all that constantly moving and breaking crap as much as you are. Just looking to find software for all my needs and nail its versions and installs and just allow myself to not constantly keep up with the youngsters' play toys.

Appreciate all your software contributions and a good part of them are my favorite in their area.
Isn't China's movie editing more like adding a slideshow at the end that says "and then every character was arrested by the police, reeducated, and is now in a heterosexual nuclear family with 2.5 children"?

I couldn't find info on a ban. It was heavily/absurdly redacted due to the Nazi topics (1966 was two decades after the war), but some of those changes were promptly reverted. Can't say if that was due to the censor bureau, or if the censorship was a decision in the company.

Anyway, since it's VHS release you can buy the uncut version legally, and sellers are allowed to advert for it. It is rated as suitable from the age of 6 (FSK 6) since 2005. It simply wasn't that successful in Germany to begin with.

Well, because it's a totalitarian regime, they actually don't have to do anything. The party members just live in wealth and let the others live with the problem.

That's the difference with democracy. In a democracy, the leaders have to explain themselves to the entire public. Also in a democracy, you can criticize governmental decisions, which might lead to better solutions, or even prevent them.

The solution? Make your country attractive for young Indian (and other) immigrants. Or just make the older generation "disappear". Communist seem to be especially well trained in letting people disappear.
The internet must seem a very hostile place if you so easily misinterpret confusion as offense.

Yeah you can. Using the mps backend, just set PYTORCH_ENABLE_MPS_FALLBACK=1 to use the CPU for unimplementeded ops. Takes a minute but it's mostly GPU accelerated.
Try looking for either a laptop or a 2in1 PC and you will have greater success. System76 has some well engineered equipment with Linux preinstalled that is worth purchasing.

I'd agree with those (I just don't necessarily think of them as "defaults", which implies there's no real disadvantage to adopting alternative shared cultural understandings).
And I'd suggest that an aversion to talking about sex is surely the opposite of a practice assuring paternity?

Every passing day I feel that we are at the social limits of what our existing laws and documents can practically support without a pretty decent refactor. This essay is the perfect supporting argument, and the actions of Google the perfect case study.

What will USA 2.0 look like? Is there a way to work on this without it being a bloody revolution? If we got 2/3rds of the population to green light a refactor of the constitution could it happen? Who would do it? Who are the right people?

Importantly, if we want to preserve the spirit of the USA's founding documents, they need to evolve more formally and officially than supreme court case law and bloated regulatory agencies tied to deeply industry integrated lobbyists. I really wish writing laws was more like the RFC process.

I don't think the solution is to "just run more stuff at home" as much as that tickles my technocratic jimmies.
Are you referring to situations like work, or do you feel that way about the online world as well?
so "concurrency" is temporal overlap with no statement of allocated cores?
ok - the academic study in front of me dated 2020 says "no" but it is non-US researchers, public science. I have no reason to believe one way or the other, but I literally read this today.

reading again - it seems this paper calls HPC with GPUs a slightly different name "GPGPU" and lists the research activity separately.. so I didn't see it as HPC; basically what I wrote is not accurate. got it

What's more striking is what comes out of China's domestic entertainment industry. There are far too many historical costume dramas. Those aren't as heavily censored as modern ones. More modern content looks like it was censored in accordance with the US Television Code of the 1950s. ("The code prohibited the use of profanity, the negative portrayal of family life, irreverence for God and religion, illicit sex, drunkenness and biochemical addiction, presentation of cruelty, detailed techniques of crime, the use of horror for its own sake, and the negative portrayal of law enforcement officials, among others.")[1]
That's close to China's list. China also censors political subjects, to the point that nobody dares get near them in film or TV.

The quality is improving, though. A decade ago, there was "Sky Fighters", which is China's version of "Top Gun". That was produced by a film unit of the People's Liberation Army, and it's as heavy-handed as you might expect.

The argument about differences in scale constituting differences in kind is compelling, and yet I'm not sure how to evaluate any particular instance of this type of argument without just deferring to my existing opinion on the topic at hand.

For example, it's easy to construct hypothetical scenarios where a difference in scale seem to clearly constitute a difference in kind and where suppression of a new technology seems clearly reasonable. An easy hypothetical (but not implausible) example is some new kind of extremely deadly weapon that would be much easier to build than existing weapons if the "recipe" was made public.

But it's also easy to make the same argument for things like, say, the printing press. And indeed there has always been intense opposition from many to the printing press and subsequent technologies that make distributing written language much easier, with opponents often presenting arguments in this same form. Yet it feels wrong to me to apply the argument this way.

Is that just because I have existing opinions that generally oppose restrictions in the ability to distribute ideas, but I don't generally oppose restrictions on very deadly weapons? Or is there some other way to distinguish between valid and invalid instances of this form of argument, perhaps by attempting to estimate the overall risk versus reward?
That's because the people who say this are the only ones who believe it. In particular, Chinese people themselves don't believe it, and do believe their government is the same thing as "them" and represents them, so they still take it personally/nationalistically when you criticize the government.
Why stop there? Why not blame the power companies that power the servers? Or the companies maintaining the fiber infrastructure connecting these bad sites to the rest of the world?

> I think we have enough food that nobody in this country has to go hungry

I think we have already solved the problem of food distribution in the US - hardly anyone dies of hunger these days. Happy to be corrected on that one, if you have contrary data.

I think we have also have cheap abundant housing as long as one doesn't want to live in highly desirable locations like Manhattan. And introducing UBI is not going to solve homelessness problem in Manhattan anyway.

So why introduce UBI, then?
I'm much less qualified: I took a "World Music 101" class in college that described some Native American tribes whose songs had drums, and cries that fell in pitch from high to low to call down the spirits from above, but their music had no concept of octaves.

And I agree with you. While I can imagine a culture that hadn't "discovered" the octave, it's difficult to imagine people who can't even perceive octaves when presented with them, and quite easy to imagine other creatures that cannot perceive them.
Indeed. Or a rook, or a bishop.
Yes tisanes are a good option. However all teas of the camellia sinensis plant have caffeine.
Oh, you should start a rebellion and all those that give away their services are driving the market lower and that's how it works in capitalism. Refine your trade, be clear on the terms (payment) and get it based on deliverables or in phases of the development/creation.
They would have transferred the money to another bank account. Then the "money mule" who owns that bank account would have been instructed to wire the money internationally, withdraw cash, buy gift cards, buy cryptocurrency, etc. (hard to reverse or trace transactions). Once the victim reports fraud, the money would have been moved to India, Russia, Ukraine, Nigeria, etc. The cost of the fraud falls on the end victim, or the money mule intermediate. The police might arrest the money mule.

>because the money the're "earning" will flow into the economy anyway (because they'll be buying food, Xbox games, etc...)

This betrays a lack of understanding of how the economy works. Goods come from people producing them. If less people are working, fewer goods are being produced, and thus there are fewer goods to go around. This leads to either inflation, or UBI payouts dropping.

As a simplified model, we can treat the purchase of consumable goods as using up a finite resource, which ultimately relates to human labour. The amount of effort put into creating xbox games is determined by the profitability of selling them, which is determined by the number of people who buy them. At the time when you buy the game, this labour has already been expended, but in the long term your action will cause more investment to be made into the development of video games. This investment will redirect effort - of programmers, designers, marketers, etc - from developing other products, towards making video games. You get less (or poorer quality) of the other thing, because you redirected effort into video games.

>The utopian idea is that they'll be inspired to do work to earn beyond UBI because of motivation (maybe it's because they want to help people, maybe it's to buy a fancy car).

Of course, some people will choose to do this. The difficulty comes is how this plays out on a generational level. Western countries broadly have below replacement levels of fertility. Individuals who don't work will have lots of time to raise children, and many of them will be motivated to do so. Their children would be liable to adopt their lifestyle. Thus, the number of people who are not working will grow at an exponential rate.
In any market, competition gets most fierce at the bottom. Upwork and Fiverr and so on sit at the bottom for the majority of freelancers using them. Those platforms encourage bidding prices down, competing against hundreds or thousands of people who can live on small money, terrible clients who expect something for nothing, and then taking a big cut off your earnings.

Instead of looking to reform or replace those platforms, or persuade the world to pay more, find your own clients and charge according to the value you add. Get off the low-end piecework treadmill. Plenty of freelancers make good money and maintain long-term relationships with customers who pay on time.
This requires a new payment system. That’s why there’s RTP from The Clearinghouse and upcoming FedNow. US is late to the game on instant payments.
You are describing Nextcloud. My family and I host virtually all of our data on our own property and while there are off-site backups they encrypted with hardware backed cryptographic keys we are not legally obligated to supply to anyone under any circumstances under US law.

The issue you see here is first you'd need to define a price for water.

There isn't a single price. Every water district has a different one, and every water district has vastly different costs for their sources, extraction, and distribution - if for no other reason than California has wildly different climates, geological conditions, and water resources across the state.

Not to mention, under what legal theory should someone pay for water they are pumping out of the ground, under the land they own, with water rights they paid the prior owner for, using infrastructure they paid for and was installed before any of this started being a problem? And who should they even pay it to?

And should they do that even if they're in an aquifer which isn't overdrawn, and which isn't even shared with anyone else? I've got a well on some land which is in a 'pocket' aquifer. Literally 3 other people have land that accesses it. Why should anyone else have any say over how much any of us pump from it?

The state is starting to force people to do that, but it isn't an easy thing to do. You're certainly not going to convince anyone it's fair for them to pay a price per gallon for that untreated water they paid to locate and extract, over treated water at a tap in someones residence in the city.

That said, the general point of 'this is crazy bullshit, why do I have to cut back when they're sitting here wasting water on Almonds for nothing?!' is totally true. There is a LOT of bullshit about water in California.
