Different mechanism, Bitcoin's difficulty adjusts based on how quickly blocks are mined so that on average 1 block is mined every 10 minutes.

The protocol adjusts every 2016 blocks, if it takes longer than two weeks (20160 minutes) to mine the 2016 blocks then the difficulty decreases, if it takes less than two weeks to mine 2016 blocks then the difficulty increases.

Yeah, I wish there was an index organized by "baking", "eating", "sauce".

About 20 years ago I was visiting a friend in south eastern Indian. While buying groceries at a local chain there was a chatty old lady in the apple section who exclaimed that some breed of apple was available and that you didn't see them often any more and they made the best apple sauce.

Intrigued I bought some even though I had no plan to make apple sauce and threw them in a pot like she instructed, they turned into a perfectly sweet and flavorful sauce with no intervention at all.

It was almost a shame to add cinnamon they were so good.

I tried an uncooked slice and it was the mealiest garbage I've ever tried but as a sauce it was the platonic ideal of an applesauce. I wish I could remember the variety.

> Here's an example of a "good" benchmark from our dataset which starts slow and hits a steady state of peak performance

Am I misinterpreting their graph? The difference between "slow" and "peak performance" seems to be a factor of about 1.005, so a whopping 0.5% improvement after warmup?
Neither of those laws grants that right.

> A bloated public sector is not evidence that collective assistance is bad, it is not. In the example I gave above, local information suggests to simply not help the homeless, but global information finds that housing them cuts the costs and improves the situation for everyone.

This is more nuanced than you seem to suggest. It is for me evident that if collective assistance through coactive systems have a lot of the incentives shifted or reversed (you manage but do not suffer consequences, for example), then what will happen is that resources will not be used well and... it happens all the time! So for me this is clearly evidence.

> The aim of effective altruism is to maximise the net impact of individual people’s charity by avoiding giving money to bad ones

And the aim of communism is that we are all equal and everyone works for the good of all the others. Now tell me where you saw that. Even with the use of coaction was a failure... Intentions can be whatever you want, what counts is the results. A system where incentives are not aligned (as in compatible) with human nature are a recipe for failure.

It is of paramount importance that if there is research in the psychology field that says that if you collectivize responsibility noone takes care efficiently or just start to ignore the problems, then the logical step is to put more self-reliance and concrete reponsibles for things, to give just an example. Incentives must make sense or things do not work, that is what historic data taught us.

> Still, EA does not have the capacity to see the complete picture because it still lacks data and can not organise large scale operations across multiple sectors whereas individual charities are very limited in scope

I do not see the problem in gathering public information and adapting to the market needs. A state has to emit laws, is rigid, do giant budgets and moves slow. In the time a state moves, private companies do so several times faster.

Shetty hospitals example: did anyone try something like that before? No that I know of. Why? Because the incentive of the state is to justify tax paying and education and health care are two of their biggest justifications. If someone comes to show they are doing it wrong that talks very bad about states, indeed, and people will start to think it is a scam to pay a health care that is three or four times more expensive when they can have a similar one cheaper. At this time there is a big reason to move the state away from that sector unless they compete with the same rules.
You're more than welcome to do that if you'd like, but most users don't like - because it turns out documents and applications tend to go hand in hand (just like your code is data, and your data can be code). Basically - that line is a hell of a lot more blurry than you're making it out to be.

If you don't want to run javascript - use a browser that doesn't run javascript, or turn it off in your browser of choice.

If you don't want to run js to play youtube - open the video url in VLC.

But again - I think you're glossing over the progressive nature of a lot of these applications. Ex: Youtube isn't just a video feed (despite what we'd sometimes like). It's an application with comments, streaming, voting, searching, sharing, and many more features.

Can some of those be done without JS? Yes.

Does it make since to use JS to implement many of them? Yes.

Can some of them only exist with JS? Yes.

Go click the "Go live" button in Youtube and then come back and tell me how you're planning on implementing that application feature in plain ol' HTML?

When the orders of magnitude change, so too do the solutions.

We already know how much trouble the general public has experienced managing desktop computing. We even have app stores for that now. Market penetration for phones is even bigger, is a more uniform distribution by age group, and has many fewer options for troubleshooting if something goes wrong.

I have 4 kids and a full time job. There are not enough hours in the day to even come close to doing 'well' at either of these responsibilities.

If you cannot get equivalent care nearby "in network" then you can go out of network and get covered. They won't like it and it can take negotiation but you have that option. All emergency care for example operates this way.

This is why the ACA stuff uses your zip code to offer plans. Remember most of these are State and Federal partnerships with private companies. The companies are just offering up their "networks". You and the State are paying the premiums.. One way to think about it is that the state is paying the employer portion.

This is way better than how it use to be...
I mean, by the same measure, spaghetti code is not spaghetti code if it makes sense in your head. But we all understand that there are certain qualities of code that make it “spaghetti” or not independently of your understanding of it. Similarly there are features of languages (such as terseness, use of symbols, dependency on context) that makes them harder to read

Ask HN: What's the Future of Web3?
There was a time, earlier this year, when everyone I knew was talking about NFTs and the decentralized internet. Companies, conferences and even VC firms specializing in the future of internet sprung everywhere, even here in my small north african country.

Cryptocurrencies are, at least from what I can see, are losing steam. The collapse of FTX, and apparently other exchanges to follow, has proven to be shocking enough for some people to have second thoughts.

In the midst of all of this, where does the web3 stand? I admit that I know so little about this new tech/paradigm that I have to google it whenever I have to speak about it, so maybe all of this has no impact? Does it even matter?
>A lot of people got wiped out and never returned to the high times of the late dotcom period.

I don't think (and hope) things will get to dotcom levels which--you're right--led to a lot of people exiting the industry, especially if they had skills that were fairly transferrable to other types of jobs. Personally, I was extremely lucky when I got laid off to quickly land a lower-paying but otherwise better role and the company (barely) made it through post-2001. Certainly, it was otherwise pretty much crickets otherwise looking for another position and that was the norm.
It feels a little like we're going back to 2005-era deviantart "trendwhore" style design.

No pixel font typography, though -- certainly not with today's high res displays.
Wow, thanks for the detailed use cases here!

- Discord as a notifications service - we do support aspect of it where folks can click a button to get a specific role (e.g. I want notification for xyz). We have a recurring trigger that can check an endpoint, and post an update from that endpoint. We don't yet support conditions on that (e.g. only notify if price hits x)

- Wiki - pvme.github.io looks pretty cool. I have seen couple other products that help convert community content into indexable pages. I like the idea of like a web interface where folks can edit, but the content also some how gets updated in discord (e.g. forums in discord could be a good use case for this?)

- Intra guild look tracking - this is definitely a little bit more complex than what we plan to support given it involves storing specific data for access at a later date. Is this pretty common for a lot of gaming communities?

- Crappy rest client - yes we can support this! Definitely get in touch if you find yourself wanting to do something like this in the future.

None of those quotes indicate who ran the raid versus who was present. (The Air Force investigators are absolutely allowed to be armed, armored, and enter along with the FBI agents during the raid; no violation there.)

I'd also be cautious assuming journalists are carefully parsing their wording specifically to avoid confusion about somewhat obscure aspects of federal law.
Oof. LGPL. That "time saver" will infect your entire codebase and open your company to sizable liability.

Even if they're never sued, companies will do internal OSS scans to limit their risks which would catch this. The result would be (at minimum) a talking to for the dev who committed it, and developer time spent doing a clean room re-write.
We usually call that "weaseling".

If Tether is a fraud (likely), it appears to be a simple one that's rather difficult to implode. Because of their widespread use in trading and limitations on fiat trading / capital controls around the world, it would be a challenge to start a run they couldn't cover by just honoring redemption requests. If they only held 10% it could happen, but if it's ~70% as often claimed, I don't see it happening.

I'm not sure what could collapse Tether other than Tether itself saying they're broke and refusing to honor redemptions.

If you conduct business (even if only over the internet) in the EU, the EU considers you subject to their laws. Same as with the United States (and probably every other jurisdiction).

Do you have to comply with EU law if you conduct business there? It depends on whether the EU can enforce judgements against you. If you live in the EU, then the EU can certainly enforce judgements against you. If you live in a cooperating jurisdiction, like the US, then I'm pretty sure that EU judgements can be enforced against you. That would take more effort on the EU's part, but if they really want to, I believe they can ask and get the US courts to enforce judgements.

If you live somewhere where the courts will not enforce EU judgements, then yeah, you don't need to care about EU laws. At least, until you travel someplace that does...

An important thing to keep in mind is that despite South Korea’s wealth, the sharp rise in its economy and relatively recent regime change means that its institutions are not battle-tested. This causes its markets to behave more similarly to developing markets, because the institutional trust is not there.

It also does not help that historically it was one of the worse managed Asian Tiger economies. During the 1998 crisis it was the only East Asian economy to need an IMF bailout, and it has a very well publicized revolving door of pardons for chaebol CEOs convicted of things like bribery and fraud.
You are correct. The equations do work in either direction.

Special relativity does not, in itself, forbid you going backwards in time. But it does tell you what would be involved in going backwards in time that way. They involve things like imaginary mass and imaginary energy -- things that pop out of factor sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) when v>c.

As far as we can tell, imaginary mass and imaginary energy are nonphysical. Relativity doesn't say it has to be that way, but nobody has ever seen them and they don't seem to exist.

There are hints of it in the Standard Model, which define mass and energy in terms of even powers of real numbers. Again, that doesn't prove that other things can't exist, only that we've never seen them, and would expect the universe to look very different if they did exist.

It might have something to do with the configuration of the universe at very early times, the low-entropy state that is the reason that the universe is interesting (and, in particular, capable of having us in it). But that is an open question.

Meanwhile, special relativity is sufficient to rule out time travel unless you want to make some assumptions that mass and energy are very different from anything we've ever seen them do.
>if we turned off all bitcoin miners today, bitcoin would go to zero instantly

You talk about this like this is an easy action with profound consequences. It's like saying If everyone killed themselves, there would be no people. This is trivially true, but it's not going to happen.

>(as its worthless without continuous resources being pumped into it).

All forms of transaction has some form of resources put into it. The quantity of resources is what is at issue here. Bitcoin does not need the massive quantity of resources it currently uses to operate. That is an artifact of the high value of Bitcoin coupled with the subsidy of the mining reward.

I'm not sure if the creator(s) of Bitcoin evaluated what kind of value a Bitcoin should have over time, The mining reward halving rate suggests that they were not expecting it to have a continual average rise above 20% per year (which makes sense because that would be insane). To date, however, it _has_ been averaging more than that, resulting in an increase in value of the mining reward relative to other currencies. Should the value drop or simply not increase for a extended period, the mining subsidy becomes less. Then only the most efficient miners can make money mining and the difficulty drops to a new equilibrium as the ones who can no longer make money drop out.
Absolutely stellar. Will definitely give it a try. Great job and thanks for sharing
This strikes me as a compiler and IDE feature, rather than a reason to have a separate programming language.

What does having a separate language give us as opposed to taking say, Kotlin, and having a compiler that stores the AST/whatever in a database and does all the interesting goodies?

Or is that the end goal, but we're using a basic language to test it out and work out all the quirks before writing a compiler for existing languages?
