It's funny because the whole point of proof-of-work (and proof-of-stake etc) is because the number of nodes is a completely untrustworthy. If a there are very few nodes then that's a sign the crypto isn't very popular/decentralized, but other than that there's not much to say.

Weird until I read your comment I was blown away. Then I had another proper look at the first image and in many ways I had to turn off my brains amazing ‘upscaling’ ability.

My brain had upscaled that human like blob to a woman spinning around with a sword so her hair covered her face.

Looking closely. None of that is there really, just a suggestion of it. And that is enough.

The more I learn about vision and sight the less I’m sure that we see reality.

I don't have a strong opinion about them but i'd be surprised if they were really independent of the Russian state. Too much commercial autonomy can be a liability in some places; it goes to your head and next thing you know you're falling out of a window.
This test is, of course, limited to the equipment with which you perform it. The most important equipment by far is your own ears. I was 16 when the audience was blindly played the same song (by Michael Jackson) from vinyl, CD and DVD on a 1.5 million dollar system. At that time I could immediately tell which medium was being played. Half the people in the room were wrong and it was clearly due to the age of the audience. Meanwhile, I would probably also no longer be able to tell the difference.
But If your audio system sucks, you will also have a hard time to Tell the difference in this Test.

Gladly, although, with the caveat that science works in the aggregate so any individual paper should be treated with skepticism and that I have no idea what quality of journals these are coming from because the open access literature is currently a royal fucking mess.

But here's a paper that found that properly grazed beef could not only potentially reach net-zero emissions, but might even be a carbon sink: http://www.thefutureoffoodjournal.com/index.php/FOFJ/article...

Here's another study that found that the soil type of the grassland and the dominant species of grass had a significant effect on whether intensively grazing it sequestered or released carbon from the soil overall:

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/gcb.12144

And that one appears to be a literature review of other studies.

Related note, you have to be so careful looking through the studies, here's one that purports to compare the different systems. But when you read the abstract it uses "A deterministic model based on the metabolism and nutrient requirements of the beef population". In other words, they aren't actually measuring anything. They just have numbers in a database for "x lb of beef requires y inputs" and "x lb of beef gives z outputs" and they're crunching those numbers under assumptions about the productivity of each approach. Naturally, they find that conventional feedlots are the most environmentally friendly.

Does that list has to single out Jews when it comes to race as well? What's even an individual's race? Some label the Californian society imposes on individuals or what the individual claims they" identify" as to begin with? Who decides the race of their employees? the employer? Will employees have to disclose it to their employer? Same with sexual orientation, would employees have to come out to their employer in order to make such list?

You are technically correct, which is (technically) the best kind of correct.

For better or for worse, though, most of the modern software industry has converged on "software engineering" as the name for what they do, while terms like "web developer" usually invoke spooky prehistoric (20th-century) connotations of companies that treat software as "part of the IT department" and a "cost center."
> And we still had rich and poor.

If you only care about there being a delta between the rich and the poor, sure, there have always been rich and poor people. But that neither usefully describes the world, nor does it account for what poverty actually means and how poverty levels have changed in the last century.

Hans Rosling used to make a joke that the top few percents of students in the Swedish educational system knew less about the world than a chimp (based on the reasoning that if you pick answers to questions randomly, you'll be right more often than the students).

I can recommend watching some of Hans Rosling's talks about poverty and reading his books. It is important to understand what poverty means.

> Personally I use FLAC for archiving purposes, to preserve a copy of my physical CDs.

Same, but at home I also play directly the FLAC files (laptop / DAC / amp / floorstanding loudspeakers). They're not that much bigger than 320 kbps mp3 files.

I convert to lossy for my car, which takes mp3 files but not FLAC.

I used to collect mp3s back in the Napster days. My HDD was maybe 40 GB back then (?), maybe not even that. Nowadays FLAC files size aren't a concern. I think a screenshot of my screen takes more room than a song FLAC encoded.

The most profound comment was not in this HN thread, nor by a user in the Twitter thread: the most profound comment was the one quoted in the article itself, by Bernoulli!:

> Bernoulli once wrote, “The utility [of probabilistic decisions] is dependent on the particular circumstances of the person making the estimate. There is no reason to assume that the risks anticipated by each [individual] must be deemed equal in value.”

Risk over non-fungibles (body parts, sentimentally valued heirloom pieces, ...) are obviously subjectively valued. But even for platonic (ideal) fungibles like fiat money the risks depend on the person because modeling reality as if everyone is treated equal in commerce or has equal access to and treatment in the courts etc. is a very strong assumption to make.

Let us first assume contracts are never reneged etc, and let us thus first assume agreements are rigorously respected.

Let us further assume the subject has the usual goal of maximizing its capital, here denoted in dollars.

Since currencies are a social construct and only hold value in the context of a society, we assume the subject is in prolonged contact with a society that values this currency. (If not the subject doesn't care which answer to give.)

Contrary to all the comments here in HN (nonlinear utility etc.), if the goal of the subject is to maximize capital, then the correct answer (assuming absence of things like conscientious objection) is unconditionally the green button with the highest Expectation Value, non-linear utility functions, or one-time-ness of the offer, or subject poverty be damned!

To understand why: even if the offer is one-time, and even if the subject can not afford the regret of missing out, the subject is still in contact with society. This society has companies regularly dealing with large sums, and optimizing expectation value.

THE SUBJECT CAN SIMPLY GO TO A BANK AND TRADE THE HIGH ROI FOR STABILITY WITH THE BANK:

For example the subject and bank can agree to the following:

* Bank pays subject $20 million

* subject presses green button

* If subject receives $50 million, it forwards this to the bank, otherwise nothing

In this scenario the subject wins $20 million unconditionally, and the bank spent $20 M with an expected return of $25 M, so the bank sees an expected ROI of a handsome +25%.

The real catch is not personal utility function, one-time-ness, etc ... but reliability of contracts and trustworthiness of the system enforcing them, which one can read between the lines of Bernoulli's comments.

All the comments and observations about how poor people "should" take the certainty with the lower amount is just echoing the indoctrinated "learn and embrace your lowly position in society" wheither thats low in rewards, or low in reliability of fair enforcement of the law.

I find it hard to read intellectually capable people concoct artificial examples to make people distrust mathematical rigor when it can be entirely relied upon. The real element of unreliability is in the systems under which we are subjugated.
I believe these reviews are targeted. How the hell you are going to review a series based on just first 2 episodes? The first few episodes of breaking bad were extremely sedate, and no way in hell the series or even the first season was reflective of the pace set in those episodes
The most obvious solution to high power prices is a negotiated settlement in Ukraine and a lifting of sanctions on Russia - regardless of whether you like that or not for geopolitical or ideological reasons, that would bring power prices crashing down overnight.

The next in line would be central banks and government bonds doing the quantitative easing, aka printing money, and delivering that money not to the private banks, but to the power consumers. This wouldn't lower power prices, however. Based on past actions of central bankers, this is the opposite of what they'd do (i.e. they'd demand IMF-style austerity programs in exchange for funding regional governments).

Increasing shipments of fossil fuels to Europe from non-Russian sources as a means of reducing power costs is implausible, as global supplies aren't there - but I do notice that each LNG tanker being sent from the USA to Europe is immensely profitable for the suppliers, so maybe the plan is working out as intended? Fossil fuel profits on Wall Street have hit records lately, even surpassing those of the arms manufacturers supplying the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Europe's in a very poor position between the USA and Russia, the former wanting to continue the war indefinitely (and to maintain sanctions) and the latter clearly pushing for a permanent division of Ukraine. Some people saw how all this would play out six months ago, however, here's there Jan 2022 prognosis:

https://www.vortexa.com/insights/products/reality-check-on-r...

Outcome: This would rather sanction the importers than Russia, as importers would have to scramble for alternative supplies, while Russia would find alternative buyers elsewhere. Potential hiccups in this rearrangement would put more harm on Europe, with consumers immediately feeling any price increase and delay in supplies...
What would be a modern audiophile setup?
The solution is to increase supply and reduce demand. You can use CFD to spread the risk but that just hides the actual problem, when demand is greater than supply, demand will be squashed with higher prices, and supply will be encouraged by higher prices.

We need to be cutting supply of gas even more than Russia has forced due to climate change, that means increasing supply of non fossil fuels, rapidly and drastically (given that reducing demand by a significant amount isn't going to happen without major changes to lifestyle, which the left love, but people won't actually do)

What would independent verification look like? I browsed the archived thread and it seems like the vast majority of claims have accompanying Twitter and archive links.
It is impossible to prove a negative. So the burden of proof is on the accusers, in this case.
That incremental goal is not mutually exclusive to kanban. The difference is whether you are stating at the beginning what goal you will hit, vs just working towards that goal. It's the same thing, one creates pressure to hit inaccurate estimates, the other just marches towards the goal.

> Simply throwing everything into a massive backlog and grinding through it indefinitely is a recipe for failure

Why is that? Scrum has the same backlog.

> since there is no opportunity to reflect on the larger picture

Why is this the case? Kanban often says that you talk about retrospective items any time they come up. You then even can re-prioritize such items right when needed, meaning you solve todays problem today, not tomorrow. Retrospectives in scrum can often come too late (and personally I've never really seen them work well, too little, too late, and often compete against 'business' priorities that always win out).

> And of course you can still have "priority inversions" in kanban, but unlike the finite sprint, you may go months before you realize what you've done wrong.

Kanban is less susceptible to priority inversion. You keep the highest priority at top, it is evaluated more often, and you pull from the top. Why does this mean that months can go by? Why is that any more the case than say scrum where you are encouraged to fix priority for weeks at a time?

> As I said, there are appropriate times to do kanban, but the situation you describe is not one of them.

I think the burden of proof is on you to state places where scrum uniquely bests kanban. The statement that kanban is best for places where ad-hoc work comes in constantly is a case where scrum spectacularly fails. For regular project work, kanban can be a great fit (I'd say universally better than scrum, since planning is just complete BS. Kanban is often little more than scrum without the planning sessions and with far more frequent prioritization, and you get to keep all of the same retrospective & estimation tools)

Usually I tough it out, L.A. Confidential, for example, I thought was awful, but saw it through to the end. I couldn't believe that the same director (Curtis Hanson) could have made such an awful (though, stangely, lauded) film and also the absolutely amazing Wonder Boys (and the servicable The Hand That Rocks the Cradle).

You’re arguing for something reasonable. The commenter I’m replying to quotes Dugin and alludes to something resembling a hermit kingdom. (Attachment to birthplace. Going into the local industry, skills be damned. Blood thicker than water and no “foreign” food.)

This is a recipe for nationalistic poverty. North Korea and Russia are going down this path. They’ll be poor and uninfluential. But if makes them happy, as long as they keep it within their borders, it is difficult to advocate for a shift from outside.

>Doesn't sound very scientific to me.

From my experience with them, you kind of just summed up the HiFi/audiophile core. I've spent waaay too much time with audio engineers, recording engineers, etc from edit bays to sound stages. Yes, there are now things that I can hear because they pointed it out to me, but until then, I was perfectly content with my head in the sand of not-knowing. However, while I agree there are certain things that can make a difference, the tendency for the absurd always seems to take hold.
Maybe that's what's stipulated. But I do agree, seems far fetched that those are real payouts given their economic situation

The UK's CfDs are adjusted for inflation each year, so that's not an issue, and the cost of specific renewable energy installations is much more predictable than natural gas - most of the cost is paid up front to construct them in the first place. The difficult part is that there isn't really any market-based way to set the price after the fact; the way the UK does it is via a reverse auction where anyone whose bid is too high doesn't get to build their wind farm, and that obviously doesn't work if it's already built.

Not at all. Both of those projects started inside the second AI winter. They can even be seen as an attempt to save Lisp after the market collapse for Lisp-specialized hardware.
