>But as for gold, your gold will stay with you unless the government decides to confiscate it.

You're infinitely more likely to get robbed than the bank is to fail or the S&P500 is to go to zero. Also, as I said most people invest in gold indirectly and they hold a certificate that says they hold X amount of gold. Idiots store gold at their property and the exchange rates for buying/selling make this by far one of the worst strategies.

Cryptotags.

To be honest, that's what spray tags look like to me already, random, meaningless, unique. I've photographed hundreds of tags and have never seen two alike.

I used to work for one of the largest software vendors in the non-profit space worldwide and it fundamentally changed the way I look at the non-profit world. The big ones have essentially become these weird quasi-think tanks that passively influence policy or actively engage the community to achieve an often political agenda.

For example, a large non-profit can't explicitly lobby congress to ban sex education in schools. But, they can go around and "buy out" small non-profits into fulfilling their agenda. This is usually pretty easy to do because small non-profits are almost always cash-starved, and it can be really hard to say "no" when some outside figure is willing to provide a massive percentage of your operating budget in perpetuity in exchange for avoiding certain topics (like mutual consent) in schools.

This very scenario happened to an acquaintance of mine. She wanted to teach consent in schools after the #metoo scandal, spent 2 years grinding to improve access to consent-based communication for kids and then someone offered her obscene money under the condition that she make tweaks (i.e. "don't talk about consent in school because that will encourage children to have sex", that kind of stuff). She took the money because she saw a way out of needing hustle so hard for cash, but of course she sold her soul at the end and regretted it.

And none of those interactions ever get recorded. Nobody is tracking what big non-profits and charitable funds ask (or demand) others to do, and they get to market themselves as doing good for the world. I'm sure some of them are, and I'm sure there are tons of well-meaning people working for some of them, but that world was so much darker than I ever imagined, at least from the periphery.
This serves a very weird niche. Reading through the docs, this seems just as complex to operate as git, but designed with less decentralized operations in mind. Why not just use mercurial if you want to use mercurial? Why invent this... monstrosity? Because GitHub pull requests are terrible?

None of this makes any sense to me.

> Local branch names are optional.

As are they in git, just hang out with a detached HEAD.

> There is no staging area.

Practically the entire world sadly invokes `git commit -a` anyways and you still have to add untracked files.

Neat project but I don't get what this is solving for.

I'm an insider to this space, I have streaming software customers who individually exceed the revenue of Mighty's entire lifetime.

This Thume guy gets a lot wrong.

I'm not going to spend eons taking it apart: his ridiculous breadboard thing does not measure something precisely or accurately enough to be useful, and whatever it did measure he misinterpreted anyway.

> Encoding the whole window means latency scales with window size.

> something called “damage regions” that apps provide to the OS compositor

> possible to diff tiles of a 4k screen image in under 2ms

> One disadvantage of the hardware accelerated video encode approach is that using minimal damage regions is tricky, because all you have is a vendor-provided API to encode new full frames into a video stream, and you can’t count on the vendor to optimize their encoder for large pixel-equal screen regions getting encoded very quickly.

This is just so far off base. Until he checked the "Enable H264 encoding" box, the stream was compressed on the CPU, to VP8. So it's not even hardware accelerated. It's just slow to compress on the CPU, period full stop, which of course scales with screen size much more than the dedicated compression hardware on their VMs.

The low performance has nothing to do with "minimal damage" regions, that provides no meaningful benefit to a hardware encoded stream. An H264/H265 P frame is much more optimal than a "minimal damage" region, it's like comparing spaceflight to a horse drawn carriage.

Large pixel equal screen regions are of course encoded extremely well in something like NvEnc and Intel QuickSync. What vendors is he even talking about?

> Does it constantly send 60fps compositor updates? No. A lot of apps make this mistake but Remotey doesn’t. If you mess it up it causes WindowServer to take an extra 10-20% CPU and extra power

This gets the biggest facepalm to me. This is the same crowd that thinks Unity games are slow because of "Gfx.WaitForPresentOnGfxThread."

Enough about Thume. The simple reason Mighty failed is that it MADE. NO. SENSE. Their latency could have been zero, and approximately zero people would have still used it. I'm not going to toot my own horn here, there are definitely streaming business that not only make sense, but make a HUGE amount of $$$ SENSE, but remote browser streaming isn't one of them.
One alarm bell for me was that he was pitching a product that is a Ponzi scheme that doesn’t bear any scrutiny.

I'm not sure you understood this: "The main interest now is not for ‘dispatchable energy’ but for industrial uses of hydrogen, metallurgy, etc."

He's not talking about hydrogen as a store of energy. He's talking about hydrogen to be used in industrial processes that require hydrogen input. Energy density has nothing to do with it, and the superiority of NG/gas/electic for carrying energy isn't relevant.

> I am not sure if there is a sudden step up in industrial uses of H

Step up? There is existing demand for hydrogen which this would, presumably, be more efficient at meeting. If they're not meeting that demand for hydrogen by cracking water apart, they'll do it by cracking natural gas apart instead.

I've worked with Mercurial repos for 10+ years and only recently we've been migrating some of the smaller repos to Git primarily due to better supported tooling. Mercurial has done a great job in specific workflows especially with phases (which not everyone adopts) -- by default they disallow modifying public commits but allow modifying draft commits. I don't believe Git really has a similar concept, or at least not integrated at the same level. I recently read about `git push --force-if-includes` which seems like it's trying to address similar situations but mostly guessing based on comparing changesets present between two repos.

To your question about what/how Mercurial helps I'm guessing it's related to this, or other workflows enabled by Mercurial's Evolve/Topic features. It sounds like Sapling has adopted Evolve/Topics and making them functional on Git repositories though I'm not sure what it's doing under the hood.
No, it is not. This is the purpose of a government. If you dont like it, vote it away.

Would need to be an agreed-upon message encrypted with the vandal's private key.

1. Person wanting defacement would indicate the amount for the bounty, along with the message to be posted on the defaced property

2. Vandal contacts payer and agrees to conditions. He/she also gives the client their public key

3. Vandal performs defacement, then add the specified message to it, encrypted in his or her private key

4. Vandal notifies the person paying the bounty that the job is complete, sending him/her a picture of the defacement with encrypted message

4. Payer decrypts message, verifies it matches, then pays out the agreed upon bounty to the vandal

To me, SBF embodied the worst stereotypes about the Effective Altruism movement. The not-so-subtle air of I'm-smarter-than-thou, the hubris to think whatever they have thought of haven't been thought and dismissed by others (probably for good reason), and a bull-headed focus on risk and return that can be exactly quantified, to the point of ignoring other, "softer" sides of the issue.

SBF isn't alone in this. In school, while interning for a competing hedge fund, I met a drove of Jane Street interns who thought exactly the same way, in terms of "EV" or expected value -- the mean outcome from a random event. For example, whenever we would go out for ice cream, they would try to flip a coin to see who pays, given the "expected cost" was same. This behavior is fine if you're a market maker betting 0.001% of your worth on a toss that you win 51% of the time, and I imagine this is why Jane Street tries to cultivate it. But unfortunately, in this hyperfocus on returns, they forgot that "risk"/"variance" exists, and sometimes flipping a coin will land you in such a deep hole that you can't continue to play the game long enough to dig yourself out of there.

You can read some thoughts by the man himself here, which flies in the face of all such work (Kelly bets, etc.) in variance minimization: https://nitter.net/SBF_FTX/status/1337250686870831107
A desire arises in one's mind, prompting us to act upon it. Why such desires arise are due to a multitude of reasons - cultural conditioning, advertising, etc. When such a desire arises, we "want" to fulfill it. So from this perspective, there is little free-will in what we can "want".

Through meditation, when there is the ability developed to detach from the thoughts that arise in one's mind, one can choose to not act on desires that urge action. So, there is then the possibility of freedom.

Even better, they had a real I/O scheduler. I could transfer video from a DV tape reader with a tiny buffer while Mozilla compiled in the background and while the compiler got slower the tape drive never stalled and the UI never lagged. That was quite a change compared to Windows or classic macOS where you had to treat the system as a single-app device.

> Distributing mosquito nets in malaria-afflicted areas saves lives on the cheap and is universally acclaimed. How better to describe this than "effective altruism"?

Philanthropy? Charity? Those words fit perfectly.

Does anyone sincerely set out to be ineffective in those endeavors? I can't imagine anyone who was knowingly insincere would have trouble also claiming the moniker of effective altruism. Nonetheless, I think the term "effective altruism" is also intended to encompass and imply some additional--if optional--characteristics about the giver or the form of giving, such as leading a more sustainable lifestyle or the consideration given to one's choices in choosing particular acts of charity. But we don't need that term merely for the act of distributing or funding the distribution of mosquito nets--philanthropy and charity are more than sufficient. And, technically speaking, charity has usually sufficed in any event--e.g. clergy who give their entire lives over to charity work weren't in search of more descriptive nomenclature, AFAIK.

This person... must be very young. Every chef I've met is a borderline or full-on alcoholic. Bosses aren't supposed to tell you what to do, they're supposed to deal with you when you aren't doing it. Those aren't companies being fucked up, those are just... ways work is done.

But the OP also shouldn't be glorifying being fucked up or working too hard. The drunken chef thing, that needs to change. Bosses not telling you what to do? That's the ideal.

Do what you are comfortable getting paid for, that enables you to have a family life, friends, and interests outside of what you get paid for. We were never supposed to work this much anyway (see: pre-industrial labor, hunter-gatherers, etc). If you are constantly stressed at work, find another job.
Tiktok's algorithms should be easily jammed by clicking on the wrong things, but at that point why bother using it at all? I've never tried it.
That is a good and fair philosophy, except in my personal experience EAs have been very much a "paperclip maximizer" towards their (self-defined) goals of "bringing the most good to the world". From my point of view, claiming that the self-serving class of consultants and cryptobros donating 10% of their is not "true EA" sounds very much like a no true scotsman fallacy.

So would most people, and we wouldn’t call it altruism. Looking for an objective criterion (whether ‘number of lives saved per dollar’ or something else) is an angle that I’m happy someone is taking. If you don’t like their approach then don’t give them money.

“Efficiency” isn’t a universally, objectively better goal, but it’s what technocrats focus on.

There are many other equally good (and often conflicting) possible goals: sufficiency, diversity, happiness, regret, etc.

The current economy focuses on efficiency because it’s about infinite capital accumulation using finite resources, and that’s what benefits the people at the helm.

> Why should I be asked to ignore my own family by annoying redditors who don't give a shit about me anyways?

You shouldn't; doing so would be irrational. There is a fairly decent chance that your relative, if they survive, will be in a position to help you in the future. But the random person on the other side of the planet? The chance of them randomly helping you in the future is about one in a few billion. Particularly if they don't know who their benefactor was, so they couldn't deliberately repay the favor to you.

So the rational/selfish position is to always put family and friends first, before strangers.

> It's common to say something like "If you aren't changing jobs every 2-4 years you are leaving a ton of money on the table", that's mostly true but one other big benefit of moving companies is you get to exposed to a bunch of different ways companies are run, their culture, etc.

Yes, it's funny, many developers are strongly oriented towards "I must develop myself and become better" or "I must get the best deal for myself" which they see as polar opposites, it's an important part of one's identity to prioritize one over the other, but in either case I think two year tenures are best.

Companies should pay a big premium for developers staying longer than two years, but they pay less, I think because they assume developers who aren't moving are unambitious/coasting/used up.
But they haven't done that yet. This is just the CLI, the centralized monorepo bits aren't yet available.
I mean it literally. Money is a social construct. The joke here being that it's funny/ironic to claim that gender being a social construct is "meaningless" but then turn around and claim that another social construct -- money (which is what the "bottom line" is made of) -- is meaningful.

The fact that something is a social construct doesn't mean it doesn't matter. Heck, once you get past the basic "keep this biological organism alive" level, most of human life is lived within social constructs. That doesn't meant they're not real or not meaningful.
