> The small amount of cash in the Ponzi runs out and the Ponzi collapses.

I think this is not actually what has been happening to bitcoin. Things like FTX books show that there's so much opportunity that surrounding ponzi schemes must emerge that don't actually buy in to bitcoin 1-1 despite the purchaser's belief, so bitcoin value is probably actually a lot lower than the demand at this stage, the resulting plunge has greatly accelerated its demise as a pyramid scheme.

In theory, I think bitcoin could have been as valid as any fiat currency but of a country that moves a lot of money in banking and has no other industry of its own. That seems to be the manifesto's thesis and its not really wrong.

Yet, as other mechanisms for transactions come online, designed to be more efficient to compete, they should take away a percentage of the finite number of transactions that are useful to the corresponding real economy, so any worldwide transaction networks value, like Visa and MasterCards value are nearer their highest possible value than their most likely future value.

I’m a complete crypto skeptic who would never touch anything like FTT, but it’s not an obvious Ponzi scheme. I think one of the troubles with crypto is that it’s very easy to operate what is effective a Ponzi scheme, without fully realizing it yourself.

add functional, add meta-programming.

The Common Lisp object-system does not use the more imperative message-sending / virtual method calling. It favors "generic functions of related methods" instead - thus this is kind of an integration of function-centric programming into the traditional view of OOP where methods belong to classes.

Humans also interpolate human work. True originality is an illusion and all creative works are based on, inspired by, or contributed to by something else. Are you implying that human thought is required to create human-level art? Because if anything, I think AI-generated art is in the process of disproving this exact hypothesis. It is unnerving to realize that something we felt up til now was fundamentally exclusive to the human experience isn't actually exclusive, but it's becoming more and more apparent.

That sounds techno-utopian to me. You can't get around trust to people. Technology is run by people using rules and abstractions people agreed to adhere to.
Sure, but I expect that many many many more people have read and run and tested and hardened my kernel, userland, compiler/interpreter than have done so for the code I am just now writing. I have a lot more faith in the correctness of all that other code than I do in the code that I'm about to write, at least not until the code I'm about to write has seen similar scrutiny and usage -- which it likely never will.

Put another way, I trust the Rust code I write to be free of memory errors much more than I trust the C code that I write (despite having much more experience writing C than Rust). And yes, that's even accounting for the possibility of bugs in the Rust compiler that cause my program to do unsafe things with memory. Assuming I could actually maintain the focus and discipline to be my absolute most careful self every moment while writing C (which I, in reality, cannot), I still think the Rust compiler is safer than I am.

Frankly, I would consider nearly anyone (and possibly just an unqualified "anyone") who believes otherwise about their own abilities to be naive at best, and actively arrogant at worst.
This is incorrect. Currency issued by a central bank is not a real liability, since its issuance does not entail a future payment obligation. It's a liability only for accounting purposes. The government bonds on a central bank's balance sheet are used to conduct (or the result of) open market operations. They aren't "backing" anything.

Minimum Spanning Trees in Expected Linear Time – A Working Implementation
An interesting observation: first people get used to trusting e.g. Coinbase, in the slow, organic way of trust to grow, then they see a similar company, the brain does that category drawer game and suddenly the new company gets trust by similarity. Certainly not the full amount but a much better start than the first one had. I wonder if there's already a term for that? What's even the field where these observations would be collected?

In the past people imagined a shepherd-like god. Now we imagine a computer programmer ai like "god" putting us in a simulation as an experiment. We model the supernatural after the natural.

"What if we are in a simulation that is simply in-flight entertainment on our trip to a far away galaxy. Our real bodies immobilized and sustained by the ship." That's something they might wonder.

On Running a Mastodon Instance
I’ve stopped using Plex-like stuff. I don’t really need it because transcoding isn’t as relevant as it was before. Pretty much every device I own can play h265 without CPU overhead.

What I’m doing is basically a Samba file share + Infuse/Kodi. Thats it. You pretty much get the same results. Infuse can sync between devices using cloud sync and trackt, which can be used through a hide-my-mail account. Kodi can sync watched shows through said Trakt account.

Infuse costs me a dollar a month and Kodi is free. I don’t need a NAS with a powerful CPU that can transcode. Anything that has disks and saturates the gigabit connection is enough.

This reads like a non-sequitur. The claim you've replied to was that Odin had poor windows support, and OP pointed out that Rust also supported Windows without msvc toolchains.

Sorry, you're clearly speaking while oblivious to the discussion. The message you've replied to includes a link to a ticket asking Odin to shed it's dependency on msvc. It's clearly titled "move away from msvc".

You're probably understanding it wrong. Central banks have little or no debt, and they can "print" reserves at no cost. Reserves is the stuff they pay their debts off with. As a result it's virtually impossible for a central bank to go bankrupt.
Interesting to see that you and many others think that "the real financial world" works significantly differently.

Countries, (central) banks, family funds and hedge funds are about to fail (or are already failing) in a very similar way but on a much much grander scale.
> GCC being freely available didn't require massive corporate backing.

But it had. Most operating systems were written in C. Lot's of supporting libraries were written in C. Stallman chose to implement a C compiler because of that. There is and was a huge eco-system around C just because it is a low-level language used to implement the basics of many systems.

Lisp was only accidentally used for a few operating systems - the AI programmers needed capable workstations, there were none and thus they developed their own and wrote their OS in a language they knew best. Outside of that community C was (or became) the standard for implementing the low-level and application environments on top. Most Lisp implementations contain a runtime written in C (and assembler). Apple tried to write early OS stuff and applications in PASCAL. C and then Objective-C replaced that.
Summary of this article is that we can expect from 0 to 5% year-on-year GROWTH in asset prices, compared to 15% we saw last year. Hardly a brutal downturn in my opinion.

> So it's already producing inaccurate results for code that sets precision control? Might as well just switch over to hardware fp32 and fp64 /s

:D

But in practice the only reason for changing the x87 precision is performance, which was then simply retained in hardware for backwards compatibility. Modern code (as in >= SSE era) simply uses fp32 or fp64 which is faster, more memory compact, has vector units, has a much more sane ISA, etc. Anyone who does try to toggle x87 mode in general is in for a world of hurt because the system libraries all assume the unit is operating in default state.

You are correct that the only reason x86_64 needs x87 is that the unix x86_64 ABI decided to specify the already clearly deprecated format the implementation of long double. I often looked wistfully at win64 where long double == double.
That’s a good link to share and one I thought about earlier, as I have watched that series before. However, as usual, Abelson and Sussman put together a much more coherent and thoughtful argument.

I know what Dijkstra was going for, but I do think the astronomy analogy, though while pithy in his usual attention grabbing style, is not accurate because telescopes practically define astronomy.

Whenever I see an X-37B post, I like to remind people its real purpose is to keep one or more nukes on-orbit at all times.
Do I have proof? No.

Why not a satellite? Satellites run out of fuel, eventually break and need to be de-orbited before they do.

It's against treaty to keep nukes in space. X-B37 has plausible deniability, and the nukes don't take up the whole cargo bay so you can still have room for experiments.

Why? It's a great first strike weapon without a detectable missile launch. If terrorists are building a nuke you can drop it on them and make it look like they blew themselves up. Last ditch asteroid defense.

Am I against it? Not really. But I do believe in an informed citizenry. YMMV.

For a tool that understands TCP and HTTP conversations, the filter syntax is awfully similar to tcpdump's, and having to use `grep -A 15` to filter specific requests seems clunky.

It's good knowing this tool exists, but I think I'll stick to tcpdump and Wireshark. In Wireshark it's trivial to use the `http.request` filter to do this, and following the TCP conversation with decoded bodies, or specifying a TLS cert, is equally simple.

I believe “L3 switch” and routers(L3-L7) are distinguished by architecture; L2 and L3 switches employ non-programmable “packet switching fabric” ASIC with CPU acting as a control system, while routers are generally a general purpose computer optionally with non-Turing-complete ASICs for faster packet processing.

Expectations of a “switch” is therefore that it’s not a dual core PowerPC box with 24-96 GbE ports on PCIe, running outdated Linux Kernel, and that it can’t do what such a bare metal box could do.

> This issue is asking Odin to move away from Visual Studio (by which I assume they just mean the MSVC toolset), which is by far a highly preferred environment for C++ programming on "[0].

Your source does not support your claim at all.

Even though vscose and Visual Studio are reported as popular IDEs, you're not talking about IDEs. You're discussing compilers and compiler toolchains, which is not the same thing as a IDE. Microsoft's msvc compiler is not the same as Microsoft's Visual Studio. Visual Studio is an IDE which, among other things, uses msbuild and msvc compiler.

The poll you quoted states that 78% use GCC regularly, followed by clang being used regularly by 43%. Microsoft's msvc compiler is in 3rd place at 30%. The same poll also points out that 55% uses cake and 36% use Makefiles regularly, and Visual Studio projects showing up in 3rd place with 31%.

Interesting. I’m very similar myself. As far as I know I don’t have cerebral palsy or any other neurological condition, but I did grow up in a very “intellectually focused” family where any seemingly “out of control” activity was frowned upon. Have a feeling my brain just allocated a very large chunk of cognitive capacity to intellectual endeavors, and not enough to motor skills / coordination. At least not enough to be good at something like soccer.
A camera does not use existing paintings to create an image, it captures light.

And the "idea" of a frozen, materialized, two dimensional projection of what we see with our eyes, aka an image, transcends cultures and tools.

It does not depend on a particular tradition of art.
You might argue that it depends on human culture, but that's a different thing.

Also, making a portrait photo does not need concrete instances of portrait paintings.

So I don't really follow your argument.

Also, yes, I'd say the invention if the camera could be motivated by reasons that have nothing to do with art at all (documenting the physical world). The lines get blurry depending on how you define "art".

But none of that implies that the invention of the camera depends on recycling prior art.

The 5th gen killer app: Video conference to allow cloud based virtual meeting and distance learning especially during pandemic.

The 6th gen app: Still brewing but I think it'll be local-first applications to enable seamless collaboration and participation for everyone including those with unreliable intermittent Internet, minimum bandwidth and high delay connection [1].
