- Function definitions stored in a content-addressed database.

- Dependency management handled the same way the Nix handles it.

- Some kind of object storage system that uses content-addressable structures as the schema.

- Hyperlinked codebase.

- Human-readable function names as (essentially) git tags.

These ideas are all pretty nice. A dedicated IDE for this language would be a lot of fun to work with. The debugging story likewise seems like it will be pretty solid. I'm not sold on the zero config storage layer: basic object retrieval is different than schema prepared for query performance. I'd like to learn more about the concurrency and synchronization story.
It might be individual but to me running is just unbearably boring either way (as is most repetitive exercise), it just gets real old real fast. Spending a lot of energy bicycling is a bit more fun though.
This is an executable math. Consider the program a mathematical expression - or a set of them - which produce useful values.

Tip for everyone posting their works to HN – address scaling for your site before it reaches the front page. It can be as simple as pressing two buttons on Cloudflare. You aren't going to get exposure like this often, and you don't want to blow it.
"FTX's books don't so much have red flags as that they are printed on red flags, with ink derived from red flags, a custom-made red cover made out of more red flags, and each page, when opened, has pop-up red flags along with a little electronic speaker that plays Red Flag by Antigoni while you get sprayed with Red Flag perfume [1]."

OMG - I'm dying here. You really shouldn't have buried that at the bottom of your reply because many will miss it. Perfectly written. I love it.

> This may or may not be the end of "crypto," but Bitcoin continues to operate just as before - without the need for exchanges, regulators, entrepreneurs, financiers, or visionaries.

Bitcoin absolutely needs exchanges. Sure, it's a self contained decentralized system that could keep churning along without needing anything but computation and the internet, but the day you can't exchange btc for fiat is the day bitcoin goes back to 2010, when it was a curiosity that isn't useful for much of anything. The only reason crypto is interesting to anyone except the most true of true believers is that you can exchange it for real money. What is the point of it without exchanges?
Thats what these presales were. They were limited to Taylor Swift fans that essentially were entered in a lottery
I find these concerns to be concerning. They read exactly like concerns over television, or cartoons, or comic books, or video games. "They'll rot your brain."

TikTok, for its many flaws and problems, is also a place where new culture really does happen. Just dismissing the entire thing as brain-rotting media makes everybody come across as the same "out of touch older generation" that was demanding that Mortal Kombat be made illegal.

Concerns about harm caused by TikTok need to be expressed in specific rather than in broad terms - or else what possible reason to we have to believe that this moral outrage is appropriate?
Software is one of the best tools we have for dealing with human communication issues (in a variety of ways). While there might not be many iPhone / fb / twitter size jackpots out there (until the next hardware growth enables new opportunities), there’s still tons of human communication problems to be solved.

Software is ultimately about replacing inefficient human communication and we still have a lot of that.
If Level 7 is minute to minute, then Level 8 must be something like a combat or survival situation in which every split-second matters.

I consider it a weak form of Pascal's wager.

You could do cardiovascular exercise which, in theory, might possibly have a beneficial reduction in personal cancer rates (among many other potential health benefits attributed to persistent exercise). Or you could not do cardio.

Seems like a no-brainer for most people.
I was about to comment that ublock breaks their website if scripts are blocked.
I think they are making a mistake that's common in this sort of project: trying too many new things at once!

They already have a very innovative way of managing source code, with a database of definitions that keeps the hash of the syntax tree instead of actual source. That's a very neat idea that solves many problems (read their docs to understand why).

But instead of developing that well enough so that it works with source control tools, IDEs, can be deployed easily and painlessly on existing infrastructure... no, they decided to ALSO solve distributed computing, a really, really complex space with a pretty crowded space of solutions... and seem to be focusing on that now instead of the "original" ideas. Looks like a huge issue with scope creep to me... unless they are kind of pivoting to distributed computing now only because the original ideas were not attractive enough for people to embrace it, but I have not heard of anything like that, everyone seems to be pretty vibed by those things.
Unfortunately the state dept was not the one tweeting and spewing crap at rallies.
I'm sorry to hear about that. When my mother died lots of people took it as an opportunity to support some idea or opinion they had, religious, political or social, it was awful.
I always thought one of the more interestingly codenamed nuclear tests was Mission Cyber, the weapon effect portion of Operation Touchstone which was conducted at the Rainier Mesa test site. From what I can tell it was an investigation into the effects of an underground nuclear blast on various nearby electronic and fiber optic systems. But they couldn't have picked better names to fuel conspiracy theorists.

Yeah. This article is repeating the classic rationale established companies use coming into each downturn: Growth is over forever, so let's burn the seed corn.

Fast forward a few years, and a crop of startups (that innovated while the incumbents belt-tightened) blindside previously unassailable monopolies.

I find it kind of ironic that they use Facebook and Google as examples in the article.

Remember when FB bought the Sun campus, stripped it to concrete walls, and grafitti'ed the hell out of it? Google HQ is the fossilized remains of the SGI campus.

The big question now is: Who is going to dethrone the current rudderless big tech companies, and how will they do it?

Funny, I’m not a police officer either, and I’ve somehow managed to go my entire life without being in ANY situation where a gun was pulled. Maybe you should re-evaluate your personal risk level and reconsider choices you’ve made in your life instead of defending shitty authoritarian practices of a government that wouldn’t give a shit about you.

What if my highspeed internet flatrate is used up? After that I only have a slower speed (64 kbit/s)

This should be enough to render text-based sites. E.g. HN or news sites. But the reality is, that basically no side is able besides HN is usable at that internet speed. Soo much content out there could be accessible at that speed. Sure no videos or images. But everything text based should still work.

There are probably a lot of tools in the webdev-toolbelt that would allow to allow even e.g. image heavy news-sites to be usable during images and scripts load.

Ex. Ord. No. 10104. Defining Certain Vital Military and Naval Installations and Equipment as Requiring Protection Against the General Dissemination of Information Relative Thereto

Ex. Ord. No. 10104, Feb. 1, 1950, 15 F.R. 597, provided: WHEREAS section 795 of title 18 of the United States Code provides: [Omitted.] AND WHEREAS section 797 of title 18 of the United States Code provides: [Omitted.] NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the foregoing statutory provisions, and in the interests of national defense, I hereby define the following as vital military and naval installations or equipment requiring protection against the general dissemination of information relative thereto: 1. All military, naval, or air-force installations and equipment which are now classified, designated, or marked under the authority or at the direction of the President, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Army, the Secretary of the Navy, or the Secretary of the Air Force as “top secret”, “secret”, “confidential”, or “restricted”, and all military, naval, or air-force installations and equipment which may hereafter be so classified, designated, or marked with the approval or at the direction of the President, and located within: (a) Any military, naval, or air-force reservation, post, arsenal, proving ground, range, mine field, camp, base, airfield, fort, yard, station, district, or area.

Sleep deprivation of just 10 min per night across the entire USA adult population of 330M is 3.3Bn minutes, is over 6 thousand YEARS of sleep related fatigue, etc. PER NIGHT

Can you imagine if we attacked that problem in earnest?

My point, obviously, is that 50 billion is nothing on a per capita basis. This arrest is very high leverage, and very effective use of resources.
Right!? The observability on OSS CI/CD pipelines seems to be pretty lacking. Maybe I'll look for an opportunity there for my next position... :)

In fairness, I guess this is the tradeoff you get for being forced into "one and only one way to do it". The benefit is that all the tools are likely to play nice with one another "all the way through the flow", because they only have one representation format to be compatible with. The downside is, well, there's only one way to do it; and if that way happens to suck for you (as, for instance, for an ex-coworker who needed to build multiple different versions of the same code against different base OS images for...reasons), the tools are going to hinder more than they help.

I get the point and I can understand how it can feel like that from the outside. But the same people that are saying that FTX is not crypto now, were saying it before and same applies to Coinbase, Kraken, Binance... Luna and Terra were crypto, though, economically unsound design with Ponzi economics but crypto. And the litmus test is actually super simple and foolproof. Does whatever you are doing settle a transaction in a public, tamper-resistant ledger that is cryptographically verifiable? FTX business and operations does not involve such a thing. It's a traditional corporation, established in the Bahamas, running some SQL/noSQL DB or perhaps more likely paper napkins as a system of record... And as such was vulnerable to the same kind of abuses that have plagued financial fraud forever.

Here is actual projects that are implemented in a blockchain:

- A exchange, e.g. Uniswap: https://uniswap.org/

Here is a smart contract that executes its transactions: https://etherscan.io/address/0x68b3465833fb72a70ecdf485e0e4c...

You can see the transactions live. You can see the code that runs this exchange: https://etherscan.io/address/0x68b3465833fb72a70ecdf485e0e4c...

- Lending and borrowing, e.g. Aave: https://aave.com/

- Decentralized staking, e.g. RocketPool: https://rocketpool.net
...

Nothing of this has failed. It's working 24/7 without maintenance windows. Everything is on-chain, publicly verifiable, automated and involves no humans.
Your school should be requiring extensive programming projects for algorithms, compilers, OS, distributed systems, AI, etc. If not then your school sucks. Change schools if you can.
Boquila trifoliolata can do it within a single generation. Most weeds don't have this capability currently, but a strong selective pressure could make it happen pretty quick with the right lucky mutations.
Being able to quickly add a series of tasks would be great, I agree. Adding keyboard shortcuts + an inline editor could work, I think.

I agree that the flowchart view can be distracting when you just want to look at the next actions. Would a view/option that hides all successors be a solution for this?

That is a wildly skewed outlook. The per-capita income in America is $35,000 (https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/SEX255221). Household income, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, includes the gross cash income of all people ages 15 years or older occupying the same housing unit, regardless of how they are related, if at all. Meaning my household income is somewhere above $100K because I have 3 roommates. Typically, the lower your income the more roommates you have. Median household income is a useless figure for determining how well the average American is doing.

Can you afford to be wrong? If yes, it becomes mostly a question of your estimated odds of the new employer being wrong about not doing layoffs versus how much better off you will be if they are correct. If you don't have enough resources to handle being unemployed in the coming economy, then it's probably not worth the risk.

>"Well, of course your accounts got hacked, because you didn't create a separate 27-character totally random password for every single account you need, like I do, and never store those passwords anywhere except your head!"

The keys can be recorded as a seed phrase. Typically this is a sequence of dictionary words. Look into it before you dismiss it so flippantly. Things have come a long way to make things easier for the user. There are also dedicated hardware wallet devices for key storage.

If you're not transacting or conducting business with cryptocurrency, why do you care so much? It is literally none of your business. Nobody is forcing you to pay taxes or finance wars with BTC.
In Northern California's olive growing regions I've been noticing a trend towards tearing out old olive trees and replacing them with trees that are grown on trellises in the same fashion as grapes. This appears to be done to utilize the picking robots that were specialized for vineyards. It's interesting to think that pruning practices like espalier, coppicing and hedging could be brought back to utilize robotics efficiently for any number of fruiting trees and bushes.

Kinda wish we got rid of timber fences and just put up hedges of fruit trees all in between houses, with roaming robots to tend to their production.
Ok? I was talking about buying things “you don’t have”.

And the settlement price could not be faked but you need an exchange that offers bid/ask prices and that matches the transactions and that could clearly be faked.
I've had one of the mentioned firms invest in a place I was a partner at, and it surprises the hell out of me. I remember the investment guy would tell the rest of us "on Wednesday, wear a shirt and tie, X big name is coming" and that's what we'd do. And millions of questions about the strategy, though didn't know much about those details.

Current theory is there's some sort of investment U shape curve. Either people look the part and talk the part and get the part, or they look like they care so little that they must be the real deal. Wish I'd known this, because I am also able to play video games badly while wearing a T-shirt.

While you could conceivably speed up emulation by using huge stored lookup tables (I don’t think it’s really possible though, SSD is just too slow compared to RAM and CPU caches), it’ll still be considerably slower than using the CPU directly, instead of having it emulate a virtual CPU by use of those lookup tables. In other words, you would be losing compute power in sum, instead of gaining more.
Well specifically I said "inherently unsafe" which does exist.

But we can ignore the word inherently, because the post I replied to seemed to be objecting to 25mph in general, and I wanted to dive into that.
Expensive (25% inflation), people aren't nice here - it's not about foreigners, it's the Estonian society. People just don't really like to hang together, or make friends. If you're a bit different, you'll get "the stare".

The country is divided between Russians and Estonians, and foreigners. Estonian politics revolve around picking on Russians. It's sometimes a bit comical: Estonian schools don't have enough teachers for Estonian speakers, because of lack of planning and funding, and now they want to ban russophone schools. Russophones are forced to "learn the language" (one of the most complex in the world) while being soft-excluded from the society. Anyway, Estonians don't really enjoy speaking with less-than-fluent Estonian speakers and will switch to english or try to make humiliating corrections, so picking the language is quite hard here.

People won't hold the door if you have a kid in the arms, doctors won't be nice to you, there's absolutely no culture of service. You have systematically to send emails, calls, in-person visits to get things done, or get paid. It's not me being nice, every local will tell you the same thing we he stops pumping the "Estonia is nordic" meme (it's not, it's a post soviet society with 0 public services).

Advice: don't go to Estonia. It's no wonder one fifth of the population already left.
Your post is full of unproved, unprovable, arguable and not obvious statements. Which means they have a bias, the bias of your own subjective opinion.

I guess when you talk on such a high level of abstraction about a topic way out of a human mind capacity in terms of complexity — you have no choice but to cut many corners and thus introduce inherent bias to cover those millions hidden variables.

> and will do unethical things to achieve profits

How to you prove this statement? Another question — how do you prove the tendency to do unethical things is related to capitalism (and not just inherent to human nature)?

> their motives aren't at odds with the wellbeing of the population

Another statement that is not self-evident.

I don't know. We live in a society in which PR is king. Fake it til you make it. It seems that what FTX was really selling was the wunderkind genius, SBF. The beanbag, disheveled appearance, mit education and league of legends playing on pitch meetings all helped sell this image. Whether or not he was doing this consciously, he was playing this part to perfection and many people ate it up. My guess though is that if it hadn't been SBF, it would have been someone else who embodied this archetype in some other way. You can't disentangle SBF from the surrounding environment that enabled his rise.
I think its so naive for anyone to think that this problem won't exist within the same rules that are currently set for any company.

As long as there is an arbitrage opportunity and its incredibly profitable this will always exist. Tickets are priced too low, and there are very sophisticated companies who's only purpose is to buy and resell. This was SeatGeek's original premise to optimize when to sell and buy.

I'm not really even sure what the complaints are... yes theres limited quantity and incredible demand. The only real solution is you limit who can buy by price or exclusivity.
imagine you have a smart contract that says A promises to pay B X when they complete task Y. If task Y is not representable on-chain, how do you execute the contract? How do you certify that the thing Y was done exactly as expected? There are very few meaningful things that you could slot in for Y that would not require some kind of out-of-chain verification. Say B says I did Y and A says, sorry, you didn't. How does B get their money, etc. They need courts, notaries, trusted fiduciaries. At which point, why did you have a smart contract anyway?

It's ALWAYS a risk/reward scenario.

Let's consider worst-case scenario, you move to the new job, the entire economy goes tits up tomorrow, the company folds.

Would your old company consider rehiring you? Is what you do a relatively recession-proof job? Do you have savings?

Doubling take-home could be some serious coin after not long, so it probably is worth it.

I'd investigate the ESPP and grants and find out what you can, and perhaps assume that they're going to disappear or be reduced in the future (if the company is old enough, see what they did in the 2000s and the 08s).
