The self-assessment is less to do with how efficient I was, and more based on the fact I get things done sooner, because I don't fuck around and get distracted every few minutes. Completing a task significantly sooner/earlier, because I managed to stay on task has a real impact on the energy and time I have to spend on other tasks.

If I only get 80% of the stuff I need to get done before bedtime, there's no chance for me to do other. If I get the stuff I need to get done well before bedtime, there's time left for other things. Skewed self-assessment isn't really a factor in that.
> Another alternative is these messages are broadcast through a public and decentralized ledger.

There is no such thing as free computing and data storage. Involving the group of strangers that run public decentralized ledgers requires paying transaction fees. Decentralization in itself is a dubious benefit.

A centralized service would be way cheaper to run (so cheap that it could be free for the end-users) with perhaps a one-time fee for identity verification purposes. The technology exists since decades (X509), is proven in the field and usable today.

A blockchain is an immutable distributed ledger with extreme zero-trust computational overheads to appending entries, whose entire history is stored on ever instance.

If you see this from an CSci (data structures & algs) pov, you can quickly see it's a extremely niche academic solution to a problem almost no one outside academia could plausibly be interested in.

A blockchain is not a "valid solution for fast..." anything. It's practically useless machine-trust guarantees impose impractical overheads for almost every basic operation.

Any one claiming blockchain is a plausible solution to almost any technical problem is profoundly mislead.

We should learn from what happened with Internet Explorer. It had a much larger share than Chrome has now, and a lot of people designed for IE first. The consequences were too many to write down in this comment. Let's just say there were some regrets :-)

We don't know how the situation will look like in the near future. If a large enough portion of the users switch to a different browser, it quickly becomes an issue.

It is in my opinion part of what companies should include in their risk assessments. Looking at the general trends, I would not be surprised if at least EU governments and institutions will ban Chrome due to privacy and data security. That will probably lead to others switching as well.

> Effective altruism will never fix that because it presupposes the system where billionaires are created and exists comfortably. The alternative, of course, is taking a closer look at the system itself and making sure our abstraction of "money = effort given to society" functions properly at all scales.

I disagree with a few things you say, but this is the biggest: what does this have to do with EA?

Yeah, sure, EA will never fix the systemic problems of the system it's in. Neither will scientists working on new vaccines, but you're not criticizing them for it, I imagine. You can do plenty of good in the world within the "current system", without also trying to change that system, and the fact that you're not trying shouldn't be held against you.

(Although, for the record, some people in EA do think political activism is important and spend a lot of effort there.)

> I start my line of thinking from the other end -- what kind of regulation and laws exist that can create exponential wealth for someone whose work output only ever scales linearly. The gap between single person's output produced and wealth generated is proof that our simple abstraction that "money is just a symbol proportional to one's contribution to society" breaks down at very large (and sometimes really tiny) scales.

I don't think that's how anyone should view money. And I don't think someone's output only scales linearly.

I mean, that's clearly not the case. Stephen King has written lots of books that many people enjoyed. The value he has created in the world is far larger than the value I've created, or will likely create, and it's not a linear difference. There are lots of examples like that.

In general, regulations and laws don't "allow" for creation of exponential wealth, they just don't prevent something that happens completely naturally. We can certainly decide to "tax more" or something as a society, but that comes with its own problems.

> has use anywhere a verified supply chain is needed.

Sure, in the same way that a hammer can be used for a screw, or an HGV can be used for commuting to work - i.e. it _will_ do the job, but there were plenty of other alternatives available. The thing that a blockchain does is a _decentralised_ verifiable supply chain. A verifiable supply chain has existed since we've been doing digital signatures, and RSA has existed since the 70's.

The problem with using blockchain for supply chains is what happens if someone claims that the original source is wrong? Say I'm Maersk, and one of my ships says "no, I did deliver that". Are Maersk's customers going to say "no, we believe that guy, we're forking the blockchain?" Or are they going to say "That sucks, guess you shoiuld have delivered it" and claim the loss on their shipping insurance? We both know it's the latter.

> But this is demonstrably not true.

Is it? I've yet to see a demonstrable use case for blockchains that actually solves a problem. We've been doing this for almost 15 years now, and we're still waiting for it.

> It's just a technology and people have misused it but that doesn't render the technology itself useless or a scam.

People misusing technology doesn't make it useless, but if the _only_ use case is useless or a scam, then the tech is useless.

Hi

When you are learning a new language, you need to practice different skills: reading, listening, speaking, writing. I find writing to be the hardest activity, not least because I have to look up words in the dictionary all the time, and that is a frustrating context switch.

Here is an experimental CodeMirror-based editor, that lets you look up translations inline. Type @ followed by the English word, and get a list of possible translations, and select the translation to apply it.

It doesn't, it verifies who it came from. Someone else mentioned Maersk above for supply chains, but a blockchain allows both Maersk and I to verify independently, without trusting each other, that a third party has made a change. If the third party says Maersk has it, and Maersk say the third party have it, the blockchain will have a record of it if Maersk accepted it, and I can independently verify that.

Unfortunately this isn't actually a property of a blockchain, this is a property of a ledger. I'm still trusting Maersk in this situation, because if I don't, what do I do, fork the blockchain and pretend that Maersk has the item?

> Blockchain is a valid solution for fast settlement clearing especially between market participants. JPM and Visa have already proven it their private blockchains.

Now, have they? I was surprised to hear this because I was under the impression that blockchain is generally useless in an environment where the participants can trust each other. I searched for "visa jp morgan blockchain" and found these:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilymason/2022/10/11/jp-morgan...

https://www.finextra.com/newsarticle/41102/jpmorgan-and-visa...

It seems that JP Morgan is offering a service called "Confirm" to validate account numbers, which Visa is using. This service is apparently offered on a blockchain. But nowhere does it say that these companies would be using a blockchain to actually settle real transactions. And it indeed seems a service to validate account numbers could just as well be offered with a more traditional API, like HTTP/JSON, instead of blockchain.

> Personally, I'm on the fence about using server side rendering (which PHP is pretty good at) versus just writing RESTful APIs, because browsers now have fetch API built in which makes consuming them easy (no need for jQuery or necessarily even something like Axios).

> FTX loaned money to Alameda ... [it was a bad bet] ... That's about it

He took money from an exchange, client money, and without permission used their money ("t" "h" "e" "i" "r" " " "m" "o" "n" "e" "y" -- channeling the genius' tweets here) and put it in his own company, the "hedge fund" called Alameda.

So that is fraud and not a bad bet.

A 'good bet' is that an organization (which merely includes FSB) who due to circumstances was exposed red handed in fraud involving billions of dollars and famous people, which then benefits from "f" "r" "e" "e" PR by established media, starting with "The New York Times", is a protected outfit of some sort, and that the playful sociopaths in FTX/Almada know it full well.
It may be even more banal than that. If you start putting simple boxed uncertainties on numbers the reader might start adding their own uncertainties to your uncertainties when they communicate it further.

I've found that when communicating with "leadership" it's best to not present anything difficult that requires them to make judgement, because they'll use that as an excuse to do what they wanted to do anyway (60±20% that's basically 80% and there's always some uncertainties with these things, so that's basically 90% so it's basically done, just ship it).

Providing uncertainty is just asking someone else up the chain to pick the number. It's better to just pick it yourself to shape the conclusion you're going to make. The people making these decisions aren't scientists. They don't have any allegiance to your methodology or analysis. They just care about the conclusion.
I've never been diagnosed, but around two weeks ago some random soul on Reddit spotted some symptoms that might be signs of ADHD, or at least things that ADHD meds could help.

I was provided this article: https://invisibleup.com/articles/27/

It is such an accurate description of something I've been struggling with my whole life without ever knowing it. I'm now waiting the weeks and weeks it takes to get a doctor's appointment; going to try for meds and maybe a diagnosis. I've already been formally diagnosed with autism, but ADHD never came up.

If you have even a sneaking suspicion that you might have ADHD, read the article. It is absolutely an eye-opener.
Vitalik, or maybe a charitable non profit organization, signs two PDFs: one says "our new public key is X" and the other says "our new public key is Y." Both of these documents verify correctly, but how do you know which is the latest? One approach is to use Twitter as your append-only timestamped ledger, and broadcast a link to the latest file on IPFS. Another is to build a new centralized service and promise it is secure and will not get hacked or mutated. Another is to rely on a public distributed ledger that is verifiably secure and strongly resistant to modification.
