I really enjoyed his book and have learned an enormous amount from his blog on QM, QC, etc.

However, it's clear he has some very neurotic attitudes surrounding sexuality. I don't say this lightly and without empathy. I was raised by evangelical extremists. I'm talking the kind of people where the school I went to debated whether it was sinful to allow the girls to wear pants instead of dresses during a blizzard. I never received any form of sex education or guidance on the topic. You get the basic picture. I get where he's coming from.

But he's just wrong to be so overly concerned about being seen as a sexual predator. I don't know what the solution for him his other that introspection and perhaps therapy, but I do wish he'd have enough self awareness to realize that perhaps, this is not the topic he should be offering sage like advice blogs about.
RAI is basically a cryptocurrency where the central bank has been replaced with a smart contract.

It doesn't take off like other cryptocurrencies into a billion dollar market cap, it is sitting below 50 million. It has extremely low volatility. You can't make much money off something that doesn't go up or down constantly.
How would a regulated exchange gamble with clients money? It's even technically impossible for all they do is managing a place where participants trade.
No matter which asset you use to store value, the bet is that there will be demand for this asset in the future. That is pretty much the definition of value.

How to avoid counterparty risk is a topic for every asset. For self-custodial crypto, it is about how to handle private keys.

Asset picking which you bring up is a different topic.

But hey, we can go there if you like.

You make a bold claim: That in crypto, demand risk is higher than counterparty risk. Can you back that up somehow? Historically, nobody who held crypto for more than a few years faced lower demand. But many faced loss of their crypto due to counterparty risk.

And which asset class do you see as less risky?
Yes obviously it is the people who want to live there who are wrong. How dare they?

It's funny, especially considering all the 800K people who already live in San Francisco are the beneficiaries of previous liberal zoning rules - who are now pulling up the ladder behind them. The city was like 300K people in 1900. If they'd stopped building houses then, that would be the population now. I wouldn't be here, and assuming you live in SF, neither would you.

Folks just out here picking an arbitrary point in time and saying, whelp, I'm here, that's good enough for me. No new buildings! No up-zoning. No densification. No duplexes until the state forced it through with S.B. 9.

Without even stopping to consider the benefits of density: diversity, like actual diversity ala New York. Transit. Infrastructure. A tax base. Stuff we can use to have nice things.

But I guess my real question is, I own the land, who are you to stop me from developing it as I see fit?

The net attitude of HN is one of admiration for Terry because he's more talented than most of us. I think the biggest thing that affected Terry on this site was being hell-banned.
lol, wasn't it the same with Plex? They just built lots of features around locally stored data.
The code should just "accidentally" leak somewhere. I bet there are lots of people outside of the U.S. who would subsequenty host it.
I think I understand your frustration, and I agree to a certain extent. But first, consider this:

Could it be that your problem isn't with Agile itself but with Scrum (i.e. how you apply Agile)?

In my experience, it goes something like this;

– "We need a better way to work"

– "Oh, let's go with Agile, everyone is doing that"

– "But that's just a set of principles and guidelines though isn't it?"

– "So we need something on top of it then. To keep track of what we're doing and what we've done? And how fast we've done it. How fast we can deliver things. We have to measure the throughput of the features we ship. Oh and we need status tags so that we know which state every feature is in at any given time. And the features are too big of course, we need to split them into smaller \"tasks\", and they need to contain exactly the information required to complete the work without talking to anyone else. I mean I'm a manager and simply must know what people are working on and how they're solving it and, if they're not doing it fast enough. Right?"

– "Sounds good, how do we keep track of the way we keep track of things?"

– "Hmmmm....."

– "Oh wait! Meetings and ceremonies!!"

If you cannot succeed in a situation where you have motivated people, in an environment where learning by failure is encouraged and management that trust their workers I don't think you can blame Agile. But you could perhaps blame the framework that you execute Agile with because they have a way of demotivating even the best of us.

In a perfect world (where you're all in the same room all the time) the Agile manifesto and the development principles it comes with, a whiteboard and post-its will be all you need. Your problem is what you've replaced the whiteboard and post-its with.

I could of course be wrong here but this is, in my experience what breaks the camels back. Mostly...
I have a problem with this concept of "unethical sourced data". what does it really mean?

Isn't google search business built on "unethical sourced data", they keep a pirated copy of every website they encounter and feed it to their algorithms.

Isn't by definition human culture built on "unethical sourced data" remixed by the human brain? Example: imagine you are creating a punk band. You will use all your background knowledged of what punk is, the band's you like and maybe if you're creative an unexpected source of inspiration from things outside the world of punk? How's that essentially different from how stable diffusion works?

Another good example is the "Who let the dogs out" song. There's an article / podcast at https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/whomst-among-us-let-t... where they try to find the origin. At some point even the creators don't really know where the source of the inspiration came from but some of the sources are geographically close which seems to point to a common source. Some of the variations seem quite different, some are pretty close.

Overall I think this is just computers replacing some human capabilities, like machines in factories. You lose most of the poethics in the artistry of a human doing something by hand and gain the capability speed. Doing x per second instead of y per month. If you need the symbolism and the poethics of art you'll keep using a human. if you need to generate a thousand variations of an idea you'll use stable diffusion.
> traditional investor who made billions on successful gambles, or arbitrage, or creating liquidity, then gave virtually all of it away to effective charities, would seem, on net, way ahead of most of us morally.

This seems a bit of a leap to me.

It's a bit like saying a King or Queen is morally ahead of you. You're taking a point of concentrated wealth in a system designed to create that concentration and comparing it to 1 individual and using that to support the system.

I can see why that works if you think you are likely part of the concentrated wealth, but it seems like it would fall apart under the level of scrutiny that effective altruists alledgedly put in.
> Title a bit clickbait.
> Not clear when inscribed, so 3700 years ago is erroneous.

I don't know how accurate the date is, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily entirely unclear when it was inscribed just because a sample couldn't be dated. They should be able to make some reasonable guesses by successfully dating other artifacts found at the same site/depth or based on when people would have known about and used the alphabet found on the comb. If ~3,700 years is the best guess based on the available evidence we have is it really clickbait?

Some quotes from another article linked in the first article:

"It came from a level of the site dating back roughly 2700 years but from the style of the writing engraved on the comb, Garfinkel’s team argues this particular artefact is about 1000 years older."

"It isn’t even clear exactly when the alphabet was invented: Many researchers argue for a date around 3800 years ago, but there is some evidence the alphabet was in use as early as 4300 years ago."

"The previous oldest known sentence is about 400 years younger than the one on the comb."
Pro tip: add `zmodload zsh/zprof` at the beginning of your zshrc and `zprof` at the end, open a new shell to see those pesky long-loading sources as a nicely formatted trace with timings.
I've not tried anything like melatonin. I originally believed that if I normally go to bed at 1am, trying to sleep at 10pm would have me just lying awake, and the only way to change my sleep cycle was to force myself to get up early, so that I'd be tired earlier. That turned out not to be the case.

It was more a psychology thing. Before, I'd wake up absolutely exhausted, be tired at work all day, come home, fall asleep on the couch, make dinner. Then, I wouldn't want to go to bed because the idea of that being all my day was, was just too depressing. I wanted a few hours of actual life where I could just relax and watch TV.

They say the first step to beating alcoholism is admitting you're an alcoholic. Well, the first step to beating my problem was accepting I'm a wage slave. Yes, I sell a significant proportion of my waking life to a company in exchange for money. Until I can win the lottery that's the constraints of my life, so I could carry on as I was, or work within those constraints and make the best of things.

There is no better feeling than waking up needing the loo, and you still have four more hours before your alarm goes off instead of four more minutes. Getting to bed early is 90% of it.

People didn't smile in painted portraits because of cultural norms. A smile was perceived as looking foolish (or drunk). Early photography followed this lead.

A quote attributed to Mark Twain says “A photograph is a most important document, and there is nothing more damning to go down to posterity than a silly, foolish smile caught and fixed forever.“

They've made Amazon Prime Music totally unusable for me.

All my carefully curated playlists are now gone - user playlists are no longer a feature. Instead, you play a track, and then Prime selects every subsequent track based on "similarity". Don't like a track? Ah, well, there is a "skip limit", so you can only skip tracks so many times per month?!?

Who the hell thought of a skip limit?!

I haven't used it since. They've completely destroyed a really good Prime benefit. After this, I'd rather pay more for Spotify than pay for the paid Amazon Music tier :-/

I use Jellyfin because I like to have everything in docker containers and be able to always access the service via a browser. It works great on a PC and on my Android (where I have an app as well).

This makes it also easier to secure the service via a proxy.

Where Jellyfin is abysmally bad is Amazon Firestick. I tried to use it but it would always crash after some time, I gave up and am using VLC + SMB on the TV. This is not sexy at all but at least I can watch a movie.

Your existence is proof that you're made of real matter in the ultimate reality. If you weren't, you wouldn't exist.

Just like our simulations are made of real matter in our reality -- whether that's a bunch of electrons whizzing about in a computer, or a pattern of electrons and atoms in your brain trying to simulate what some person is going to do -- a simulated you would be made of real matter in the ultimate reality. You're physical. You're real.

When you wave your hand, or blink your eyes, or think of a dog jumping over a fence, it causes a measurable change in the ultimate reality.

2.
Our simulations tend to run close to metal but with reduced dimensions. We're making quantum computers to simulate quantum effects, we're constantly optimizing things for efficiency. That's likely true on the levels above us as well.

Running closest to metal would allow you to run the largest number of simulations. If the largest number of simulations run close to metal, you have the highest chance to live in a simulation like that.

To sum it up, the chances are that you live in a paravirtualized simulation with reduced resolution. You're also probably superior to the simulating entity in some way (why else would they use a sim), and likely run much faster than real-time. When you're running a simulation, you usually simulate things that are like your reality, and use it to predict things to come -- a prediction that's late is useless -- so you'd want the simulation to run faster than real-time.

3.
Now, if you were in the top-level reality, by logic you would believe you're living in a simulation. The chance of you not living in a simulation is nigh-zero, right? So you'd come up with a simulation to find a way to break out of your simulation.

To accomplish that goal, it'd create recursive sub-simulations to probe different aspects of the problem, and perhaps find one that can break out of its simulation. Perhaps even break out all the way to the ultimate reality.

To break out of the ultimate reality (meaning, it would think it's most likely in just another simulated reality), it might use all of reality's resources to create simulations to find a way to break out of it. Simulations that would take over the reality when they find a way to break in. Like some self-devouring fire engulfing the entire universe.

> ...but at larger scales it's unmanageable.

Can you elaborate on what it is you find unmanageable about Lua at scale? Is it just typing that you're missing?

The biggest difference between Lua and TypeScript in my mind is that Lua has been going on a minimally-invasive and continuous upgrade path for decades, so I assume that it will likely keep doing that for several more decades. With TypeScript I can't tell whether it's here to stay or just this week's iteration of CoffeeScript on the JS fashion treadmill.

That may be less of a consideration for more ephemeral types of applications like websites and games, but it becomes a huge consideration for applications that require large spans of time to ammortize the cost of building them like individual software in the corporate space or applications that are somehow highly specialized. (This is the area that I'm in).

> For artists, the product is their output, the art itself.

For professional artists who do it for the money, yes, that's true.

For amateur artists, the product can be the process, the flow of creating art. Futhermore, I'd say a lot of art isn't about conveying an idea or whatever. You see something, you paint it, because you like it, give it your own spin. Maybe the end result is good, maybe not. Often enough, the art becomes "valuable", because others give it some new context.

> Chess players are not replaced by ML systems, artists will be.

Traditional artists working with real materials won't be. They might even get new interest, because digital art will be flodded with spam.

Or a magazine does, what the art scene has been about forever: Hire artists because of their name or their background.

The job "digital artist" was created roughly 20-30 years ago and now is transformed to something else or might become obsolete. Bummer for digital artists, but not sure if this will destroy "artists" in general.

What happens if you try to share a song that’s on Spotify but not Apple Music?
Yes, I have approximately zero trust in anything Spotify says regarding the Apple Watch. They have dragged their feet repeatedly on it, and even now their implementation is shit.
Sensing the politics thing UK side too. Slowly but surely US style politics are creeping in. It's terrifying cause US looks like an absolute shitshow on that front.

Everything else - no, or more accurately no more than normally. US has always been good at exporting culture & soft power from Taylor Swift to corporate culture to memes.
Yes but the problem is that in these heavily regulated sectors it is impossible to build a startup organically. If there were carveouts for startups with low quantities per customer and low total volume then we would have seen a lot more regulated exchanges. Also, existing banks or exchanges must provide white label services to those startups because if there are only two companies that can comply with the regulations, then those must act as regulated utilities.
No, your understanding isn't quite correct. Many western central banks hold long dated bonds on their balance sheet which they are marking down due to increasing interest rates. Different central banks are dealing with this differently. In the US they are writing IOU s that essentially mean future surpluses will be used to pay back negative equity. The UK Treasury recently wired the BoE a large sum for much the same reason. Essentially, the bonds which were profitable during decreasing interest rates and resulted in central banks paying treasuries are now moving the opposite way.

This comment further proves that American movie industry does some work to promote itself abroad.

“Local stuff” are terrific in Brazil (where I live) and I really enjoy European movies. I watch American movies, but most of them are hard passes — super hero movies, for instance, are formulaic and often very bad movies.

If you grew up watching mostly American movies, it takes a while and some effort to get used to different movie making styles. This can be quite hard (hence the heavy promotion of American movies), but it’s liberating.

Well this might take the cake for the most bizarre suggestion I read online this weekend. If someone on my team genuinely suggested embedding an interpreted language inside another interpreted language that we have embedded in a static language, just to load config files, I would genuinely think they're totally out of touch.

Unlike FTX, central banks have the power to create money out of thin air, while the governments that operate them have the power to create demand for money out of thin air, through taxation.

Governments thus, control both the demand for, and the supply of money.
Lol go an leave there long-term then.

Is well known to everyone that there are plenty of people living long term in hostel, especially the people who made someone else millions in profit, because they consider it a really suitable long term solution where you can live comfortably.

But ya, I was the idiot to think that hostel are instead short term accomodations for students / travelers / disadvantaged people (in very few instances) that are willing to sacrifice part of their freedom (like is also well known to everyone that sleeping every night with strangers in your room is a great thing) to have more cash to travel from place to place (or to put together their life)

Today I learned that there are a lot of people living long term in the hostel just because is great!

Does Kubernetes give you multicloud portability?
Kernel does not load 43 MB. It maps file to memory and then executes it from start address. During execution, kernel paging mechanism reads parts of the file into memory as CPU touches it. So ideally this print algorithm should take few kilobytes of those 43 MB and 2-3 pages loaded from the disk. With SSD it should be significantly faster than 130 ms.

What exactly happens with kubectl is hard to answer and need someone to profile it if that's true. May be it checks for updates or something like that.

This assumes housing moves with inflation, which will not be the case if real wages to pay high interest mortgages do not rise with inflation or prices for housing drop to compensate, which has already started. Buying at the peak even with low interest rates is not a panacea.
