Very true. Plus this is nonsense. Interest rates are still far too low. There is wayyyyy too much money floating around in the system and global growth has slowed. That money will be chasing returns wherever they can find them and that has been the market and now real estate. Both of these will be net up over the next 10 years. It will be choppy for a few years as inflation is battled and interest rates rise a little bit more.

AWS came out in 2007 and most companies barely started exploring it until at least 5 years later. All of the same arguments I heard about AWS back then I hear about Ethereum right now (it's more expensive, bare metal is more flexible, we have to recode things in the AWS way) but people have selective memories and think things that are obvious now were always obvious.

Most banks in Australia are working on crypto related products, Visa is too. Eventually once a few have a network together, especially internationally, the snowball accelerates because of Metcalfs law and soon it's more costly to not integrate.

The way I think of it is "if we had everything running on crypto rails, would companies want to switch back to what they have now" and the answer is obviously no, so it's just a matter of time until it happens.
This reminds me of the way some of those colors give the illusion of depth. I.e. red seems to jump out of the screen and blue seems to receed.

in PoW, energy consumption scales linearly with the block reward value which is denominated in bitcoin thus scales with value of btc. Reward for mining is [ ( your hashrate / network hashrate) * block reward ].

so it's not usage that scales energy consumption, it's value of btc. Arguably though the two are intrinsically related (this should be obvious - if bitcoin somehow becomes the defacto global currency, a shitload of investment will pour in and bring its value much much higher)

in truth it's a moot point. even with lightning protocol, bitcoin as a protocol couldn't handle that much capacity. If a few hundred million people just wanted to publish a single transaction (putting money in a wallet and thereafter doing everything on lightning protocol), it would take literally years to process that many transactions.

Edit: just to be explicit, the reason energy consumption scales with block reward value is because it becomes very profitable to buy more mining equipment and mine more if the reward say doubles. It’s not an instant effect of course because there’s capital acquisition and operational capacity involved
Well, that was my question, if "kind of flat" means keeping up with inflation at least, or not.

Although my understanding of the standard model of how privatized "saving for retirement" via investment funds works, is that you better have returns at more than inflation, especially in the early part of your career, if you want to be able to retire.
> which really isn't what this generation of models is trained for.

Exactly. AI hypemen would have us believe that training ever-larger models on ever-larger datasets is making meaningful progress towards general intelligence, but these kind of simple tests reveal this supposed "intelligence" for what it is: fancy pattern recognition.

Questions that a six year old would easily answer, these models fail at.

"Cost savings" is never a valid reason to use blockchain technology. It is and always will be inherently more expensive than running a normal database.

The only reason that users might be willing to eat that cost is if they believe they are "owning" an asset that will appreciate somehow (a la Cryptokitties). The second the thing they own stops appreciating, they stop paying to play.

Unfortunately, some places' idea of having this problem "worked out" is to react by making the SPOF's life miserable with punishment or firing. And the bus scenario is "covered" by having the scapegoat be dead. Not a good strategy for the business, of course, but it's definitely the reality at some places. Actually having the SPOF scenarios prevented would be a much more mature approach.

In the Mahabharata, the dog is seen as a personification of dharma (a term with a meaning that lies at the intersection of righteousness, duty, and truth).

Yudhishtira, known for never straying from the dharmic path, refuses to leave a dog behind (that has been with them on their long journey) and get entrance to heaven - with the connotation that he refuses to leave the path of righteousness even for heaven.

There is also a verse in the Mahabharata: dharmo rakṣati rakṣitaḥ - meaning, protect dharma, and dharma will protect you - which is interesting if you apply it to the mutual relationship between a man and his pet.

I don't see how this sheds light in demystifying domestication though, apart from that they were regarded as loyal and good companions whose feelings were reciprocated.

I agree, and I think that's the first use case I mentioned above. You can use Deep Learning libraries and pre-made models without a deep understanding of anything and you get some nice results. And that's great.

What's not so great is the huge number of people believing to understand something when they don't, i.e. the illusion of knowledge they're getting from some of these marketing-driven courses and MOOCs. I see that in job applications. Every resume has "Deep Learning, PyTorch, Tensorflow" on it now, but if you ask them why something works (or why a variation may not work) these candidates have no idea. And for some jobs that's totally fine, but for other jobs it's not. And the problem is when you can't tell the difference.

It's kind of like putting "compilers" on your resume because you've managed to run gcc.

Just posting here since I made the bot which imploded in the example of the blog post. This tiny side project of mine is not a startup. I just started remoteli to see if I could pull in visitors using a variety of low cost/high reward techniques.

One of them being this Twitter bot which listens to the Twitter API stream and responds to tweets. It had been running for quite a while and since the tokens were extremely cheap it yielded good results.

Thankfully I had the tokens capped at a limit. So far it did cost me the Twitter account and the OpenAI account since I got banned on both. We'll see if I can get those back.

It was a fun little experiment. I guess it was only a matter of time since even without this prompt injection I sometimes got pretty questionable responses.

We experienced a few dozen unrecoverable files on Rackspace Cloud Files (which at the time used Openstack under the hood). This is out of about 10M objects that totaled about 2 TB, but they were less than 3 years old. The API call just failed with a 404 even though the files were listed in the list API call.

The corruption was uncovered when we started migrating to another cloud platform, we had to restore from local copies.

The best answer is a completely separate bikeway that crosses outside the roundabout, or passes over/under the road.

But, if that's not possible, the bike is either acting like another car (in the roundabout) or a pedestrian (crossing several entry/exit points). Less than ideal, but still better than getting t-boned at >30kph as happens at 4-way stops in the US.

Here's an example, but it relies on drivers yeilding to cyclists (they're supposed to but usually don't in the US, regardless of intersection and signage).

I think more important than removing dependencies on oil/gas is that energy will be much cheaper, reducing the cost of everything.

One other aspect of the IRA is that it heavily incentivizes building the new manufacturing capacity in the US. If US manufacturing is not competitive with other parts of the world, this could be less efficient than a world where the best manufacturers do more of it. So it has the potential to lower growth rates, but personally I think the tech advances for cost reduction of solar/wind/storage will likely be so massive as to overwhelm any potential US-based inefficiencies.

In order to correct it, we could tie some of these benefits back to the manufacturers being able to compete on the global market; I.e. if they can't export X% of their product successfully in a competitive market, then the subsidies taper out. But we will see.

> And that difference is... what exactly?

Every other crypto is a product released by a company with a CEO, investors, VC funding, a marketing team etc. and all based on dubious promises of "utility", "defi", or "yield", faster transactions speeds, or "web3". It's all a bullshit affinity scam riding on the coat tails of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is literally just an open source protocol for an open, neutral, and permissionless global monetary network, similar to how TCP/IP is a neutral communications protocol for the Internet. There's no CEO or "foundation" like in the case of Ethereum and other cryptos. Companies are building up businesses around this open and neutral protocol. If you can't see the potential behind that combined with its application to demand response, load balancing, methane capture, AND the humanitarian benefits [1][2], well...

Yep, it is 5 Stars by Louise Blackwick: https://www.amazon.com/5-Stars-Louise-Blackwick-ebook/dp/B09...

Really cool author out of the Netherlands, I highly recommend the book. It is dark sci fi, and she calls it "Neon Science Fiction". Which sums the story up nicely (dark and gritty with a flippant attitude)

I believe the line she got hit with was "Can You Beat The Neon God's Algorithm?"

She also did a list on my site about books that inspired her creation of neon science fiction (and how she defines that): https://shepherd.com/best-books/inspired-neon-science-fictio...

> The emulator implemented here only supports POKE for accessing screen memory. To keep things simpler, it starts at offset 0 rather than at offset 1024 as in the real Commodore 64. When you access an invalid address, e.g. by waiting until the ball runs off the screen, the operation fails and the program execution will stop.

He doesn't need a full emulator to show the principle.

Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) Price Prediction 2022
The Price of Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) coin was swinging from $0.00045 resistance2 to $0.00038 resistance1 after touching support levels of $0.00028 and $0.00023.
LUNC has reversed from the support level of $0.00028 and currently the market is going sideways and is expected to be bullish over the coming weeks.
Since LUNC cannot break the current support level soon, our long-term Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) price prediction is bullish for 2022. We can expect LUNC to reach $0.001 in 2022.
If we wanted to retain its use as a systems language I would probably mostly focus on improving the module system. Coming from higher languages, Rust's module system is very restrictive and forces applications to be written in monolithic files. Tests are often in the same files that the working code is in. I know the Rust community likes this, but it's something I have found has a negative impact on maintainability and organisation. I think TypeScript does an excellent job at managing modules.

If we look at the language with the goal of applying it to application development (web servers, GUIs) then I'd start with the simplification of the type system. There's no need for &str and String. There's no need for the various ways of describing accepting a function as a parameter or the need for types as structs - just have them as language built-ins. I would include algebraic types, structural typing and simplify the borrow checker using keywords like "read" "write" rather than & and &mut.

In fact, I actually wrote an entire language specification but am not smart enough to write a compiler. I'm still figuring out how to translate lifetimes
