Yeah, except that he took a leveraged long position, not short, it wouldn't work because the company is no longer publicly traded, and he could go to jail for just attempting that.

Is this really a problem? No one is suggesting we stop eating fruit just because we cant eat the leaves, branches, and roots.
It's fine for a side project, but a waste of time for a business. I'm not going to charge my employer or client hundreds of extra hours just so I can learn a cool new thing.
There are some valuable points.

The point that we can write something we don't like and then circle back around to it and decide what was good or bad about it has been incredibly fruitful. Revision is the soul of good artistic output. That's pretty key to this ability to know we can just, like, crank out a song and then tweak it till it works.

An initial quibble I have is this: once you're that engaged in productive art making, you're not "pretending" to be a "professional musician"... you are legitimately a musician with a musical practice. It's not like selling your tracks or productions changes that process... that's just what folks who do this stuff at a high level are doing.

Also, I will say that if I write a lot in a short period of time, as I do when I get motivated (usually because of entering or leaving a band) that if I am writing 20 or so songs a month, they all start to sound similar.

That can be very good, but it can also be very bad. It's been helpful to spend a lot more time revising stuff, going back and writing new things, tweaking words or passages. Someone told me today that they "write like no one will ever read it, and then revise it till you're okay with anyone reading it" and that felt helpful.

A final thought that I have is that usually what pushes me out of these productive writing seasons is that eventually I just don't have that much that I can sell. The band can only do so many songs, there isn't any real market for low end electronic, I don't think I have it in me to go on a tour of house concerts like the other folks I know seriously doing that kind of music. Etc.

And so I at some point I will go back to just woodshedding different instruments (I've been playing a lot of clarinet and trumpet lately, though I probably ought to be working on my piano skills).

Because in my experience (as limited as it has been) once you realize that you can, just, like, sit down and write as much as you feel like writing, it eventually begs the question of "why"?

I'm in a period where I am writing every day (folk and country songs, mostly) and even that enjoyable process, which borders on the expressiveness of poetry, I think will eventually peter out, as it has done off and on over the last couple of decades.

That's a just fine thing, as I need to practice my arranging chops and get more horn players into my jazz band. And spend more time marketing the bands, and all the other crap that comes along with making music as we do.

Anyhow, it was a good article, with helpful stuff. I hope that the author is able to keep up the stoke and is producing stuff they enjoy.
No one has ever said this is the end of crypto every 6 months. Never happened :)

Tether is a joke but your bank also doesnt have every1s money. Oh it's FDIC insured! Yeah by the ppl who print the money. It's a solid grift, but it's also a grift.
You'll know if DeSantis's political theater in Florida had any effect if they decided to lower DisneyWorld ticket prices. I suspect it did not!
Ask HN: Does allowing downvoting encourage groupthink?
I’ve now spend a fair amount of time on Reddit, and I find that the same pattern holds: if one expresses an opinion that the forum orthodoxy, it gets downvoted. On Reddit this led to toxic subreddits being created with their own groupthink. Even HN isn’t immune to this. Is this a widely observed phenomenon?
I agree, I think if they ever decide to get it in Apache the popularity will explode. Same thing happened with flink and ignite.
>It's depressing to me that there is such a vocal group of people cheerleading the demise of an industry that seeks to improve the financial system on a global scale.

This kind of feels like a disingenuous description of what's happening, as though it's willfully ignorant of what's clearly being discussed here. People are cheerleading the demise of the snake oil and grifting that is insanely prevalent in a new, unregulated industry.

>There is an incredible amount of fraud in crypto and it should be identified, stamped out and vigorously prosecuted.

So you're on board with us then! :p

>But there is also genuine genius at work solving difficult problems for everyone's benefit.

Yep. Good for them. Fuck everyone else taking part in the grift. I'm certain you'll find plenty of people "cheerleading the demise of the industry" who share this viewpoint.

> It is terrible that people are losing money so easily and is a reminder that crypto isn't solving the problem of fools being parted from their money. Presumably that's what laws and regulations do.

At the risk of starting a much larger discussion that I am wholly unqualified to take part in, that's a pretty damning comment to make in regards to DeFi. Doesn't bode well for it's future if a lack of regulation is just going to push people away from adopting it out of fear of losing money.

Edit: If you want "crypto" or DeFi to succeed, you should be cheering with us when these assholes fall.

Can someone explain why the bank run on Tether hasn't already happened?

We've seen with FTX that it only takes a little FUD for people to get scared and start withdrawing.

It's not like there isn't more credible stablecoin alternatives, USDC looks a lot more credible.

Rendering things (~textures) already happens entirely locally. It has never been any other way. Also, intelligently rendering things at different resolutions in different scenarios is ancient technology at this point [0].

Roughly speaking, the only thing that's happening over the internet in a multiplayer game is communicating information about players such as location and discrete actions performed. Small numbers about the state of the game, not graphics or textures or anything like that. When you move, the 2999 other players need to know where you moved to, or where you are now. This has to happen many times per second to create a believable simulation. Even just sharing things like "I moved 2 inches in this direction in the last 30ms" or "I pulled the trigger of my gun when pointing at this angle" between 3000 participants is extremely challenging. It is heavily affected by the particulars of the game design, too. A turn-based game has to communicate a lot less often. Games that can guarantee no interactions between certain segments of players can reduce the information as well. Many game designs require that all players have up-to-date information at all times, or that things don't happen out of order.

Yes, your observation is accurate.

The average intelligence of HN users with downvote capabilities isn't as high as one would hope. Going against the grain gets downvoted regardless of whether you're right or not.

All discussion forums (digital and flesh-bound) are susceptible to the echo chamber effect.

I recommend picking up a JVM language. Either Java or Kotlin.

Then I recommend picking up C++.

A lot of people say C++ is dead, but there’s so much reliable software written in it. Once you use JVM and understand garbage collection, then C++ feels like a leap deeper into really having to understand how stack vs heap memory works, thinking about memory management, safety, and performance (passing by copy vs reference).

I think with this trifecta under your belt, you’ll be able to easily expand your tool kit further in the future.

I'm not sure how you deduced that I'm actually a vi user, but it's interesting to see that vim has similar support but using separate linear undo and redo commands g- and g+ . undo-persistance and undofile seem to be orthogonal to that though, I'm even less sure why you're bringing that up.
In the absence of a government, people would respond to fraud using violence. The government protects embezzlers and fraudsters from the violence of those they have cheated, but in turn creates non-violent consequences for such behaviors.
All startups have a runway. Let’s say 12 months. You hit your metrics, hire, gain customers, go back to investors and get more money. Your valuation goes up, your shares get diluted (smaller slice of a bigger pie), you get another couple million and your runway resets. You do it again.

Now imagine the capital is gone. Not just the investors you know, not just the ones you’ve heard of. There’s no capital to be had for anyone for anything.

So your runway doesn’t reset when the money runs out you have to fire everyone and shut the company down.

The line is hyperbole, meant to evoke terror and despair. Or maybe all the money dried up. Or maybe the answer is somewhere in between. (There’s still money, but it’s cautious money and half the startups in existence now won’t be in a year)
You're just one data point, though. I just got a letter in the mail a couple weeks ago telling me my monthly health insurance premium was going up.
I like bass solos too. ;-)

A lot depends on the band. I'm not a pro, so I've played with bands at varying levels over the years. There are bands where everybody is instantly lost, the moment that I start my solo. They either lose the tempo or the "form", so they have no idea when to come back in. These tend to be bands that haven't completely mastered jazz playing.

Then on the other end of the scale, there are bands where it seems like the time is just magically "there" through nobody's effort.

I adapt. If the band needs time during my solo, I play a more chunky rhythmic solo. If the time is "there" then I can take more liberties.

I have some personal rules that the band doesn't always obey, such as no bass solo when people are dancing. Playing for dancers is its own beast. If I'm given a solo while people are dancing, I usually play a slightly more fancy version of the regular bass line, and keep it short.
Right. In many of the "OMG What Happened to SBF?" articles this week, it's mentioned over and over that SBF ran afoul of many of his industry counterparts because he cozied up to Washington and pushed for regulation. I don't know how someone can feel comfortable handing their money over to anyone who essentially says, "I don't want there to be any rules around what I can do with this, and people who can punish me for abusing this need to stay away". That's INSANE to me.

I don't doubt that there are a few companies in the space that are trying to do some genuine good. But I'd wager that I can count them on one hand.

Edit: And if someone's going to say, "This industry has potential, don't cheer it's demise," then show me the potential. Show me the companies doing that good stuff, because we're not seeing it.
Most of the clones have stopped even using the FTDI knockoffs nowadays. There are alternative USB-to-serial chips from other manufacturers, like the CH340 series, that work very well.
This was funny but the example should finally show it's time to end the appeasement of problematic trolls and let's get back to making Twitter brandsafe for big pharma again.

Last I looked there were two main local mail clients for the commandline with good emacs,vim bindings: notmuch and mu. Both store mail locally and both use xapian for efficient local searching.

When I was choosing between the two, there was one big difference between the two: notmuch was built around an idea that you mark your messages with tags for organization, while mu assumed you organize stuff into IMAP folders. The notmuch tag database is not a standard IMAP concept, so syncing your IMAP directories wouldn't sync your tags, and moving from one machine to another required extra work. mu by contrast just does the normal IMAP thing, so you sync the IMAP on one machine, and all your other machines can read the IMAP data, and that's it.

I've been using mu for years, and it's fantastic. From personal experience, the tags/folders distinction is mostly immaterial: the vast majority of searches are for text or sender or subject, or something.

If I'm misrepresenting notmuch here, somebody please correct me!

seeks to improve the financial system on a global scale

They've been at this for a decade and they're not actually improving it. The purpose of crypto is what it does: take money from the middle class and give it to billionaires.

No, there are many possible systems that are far worse. If people believed this they'd move to Somalia to seek their fortune.
You should be cheering for the demise of any project that undercuts the goal of establishing a safe, well-considered, functional alternative.

They don't get to win for solving difficult problems. They win if they present a complete solution. "We did some remarkable math but didn't fix the sheer quantity of fraud" is not a solution.

What leads you to believe that 5% of the population is trans? As I understand it, here in the US, where a trans person can be out and actually get treatment, they still make up a fraction of a percent of the population. Even if everyone who even considered they were trans transitioned, I'm guessing they would still make up less than 1% of the population. It's just not that common of a condition, despite what fear-mongering bathroom bills might have you believe.
It's not a scam if everyone knows how the system works. The Federal Reserve doesn't pretend like the dollar is backed by anything. The Federal Reserve also manipulates supply to try to keep prices stable. They've messed that up the last two years, but rather just continuing to print money they are reducing the supply on purpose.

It's nothing like Tether.

Rant: I'm glad the author called out GCP as well, but the idea that it's the user's fault for granting too many permissions is absurd. Has the author tried doing this at scale? Try a super simple example: I want a user to have access to query a schema in BigQuery. Can you guess the magic combo of permissions that is going to take? Because the documentation is not going to correctly tell you. Thus after spending way too much time trying to get it done one ends up widely over-permissioning to just get the damn thing to work. You could argue their model is sound and it's just that how they aggregated permissions into roles is absurd or even just argue that they need better defined roles and I would accept that, but still it's quite frustrating as is. I mean just look at the length of the reference: https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/understanding-roles
I agree with that, but that's the reason you can't truly store value forever irreversibly. If you can't reverse transactions, you can just abandon the whole currency and start over, and eventually they'll do that.

It's interesting that the "rule" seems to be that the bassist is the timekeeper in jazz, but in a lot of bands, the players habitually lock to the drummer. I'm ready for it to go either way. In my main band, I have a good rapport with the drummer (we've been playing together for 20 years), and so we are a pretty tight unit. Sometimes if the drummer has to miss a rehearsal, then it's just me, and I don't mind reminding the band that they can trust the bassist. It's kind of like driving in heavy traffic. You might not completely trust the cars in front of and behind you, but choosing your own speed is fraught with risks. ;-)
