I absolutely, unequivocally do not believe it.

Bitcoin consumes 111TWh annually, the power consumption of the Netherlands, and emits 62Mt of CO2 per year, the same as Belarus. It also yields 42kT of e-waste per year.

Each transaction produces 650kg of CO2, consumes 1160kWh of power (as much as 40 days consumption for the average American home) and produces 450g of e-waste (about the same as hucking your iPad into the garbage can each time you transact on-chain).

97% of all Bitcoin mining hardware will never successfully produce a single block in its entire useful life, going from factory, to space heater, to garbage can - while about 60% of all the power consumed comes from oil, natural gas and coal. So whoever sold producers the offsets I assume you must be alluding to better have replanted the entire Amazon rainforest by now. (Quick spoiler, carbon offsets are also a scam, generally speaking).

To say you're going to need to get some sources is an understatement about as large at Bitcoin's environmental footprint.

You can find all this in [1] or you can just reverse it yourself from the specs of the latest AntMiner and the current hash rate. Some napkin math is all you need.

I'm honestly amazed people still believe something so trivially falsifiable, but with everything else going on in 2022...

I would prefer if the FTC banned celebrities from endorsing financial products instead of an ad hoc system of suing people after a scandal (of various size).

Otherwise - I'm not sure how this would really ever work. Will commercial directors and producers also be found liable? What if you endorse something like a normal Visa credit card and then three years later there is a scandal at Visa? What if FTX just lost 3% of customer funds? What due diligence could Giselle really have done? FTX was invested in by respected VC and SBF was featured positively in Forbes and the traditional media.
Why not just create your own search box and put -site:domain.xyz in the query? Maybe there is a length limit but at least you can ban some

> So here's a question which is actually more interesting, now that we know it's possible to solve it: can we solve the same problem without simulating how the program runs step-by-step?

Despite a century of research, simulation is still pretty much the only tool we have. Simulation can also be used to rule out many hypothetical solutions using similar tricks to the proof of Rice's theorem.

Assume that program A, with input X, decides whether program X with input X halts within a fixed resource bound. Assume that the resource bound is high enough that running A with an input of size |A| + C, for a reasonable constant C, uses much less resources than the bound. Then we can write a program A' that runs A with the input. If A says that the input halts (within the bound), A' enters an infinite loop. If A says that the input does not halt (within the bound), A' halts. If we run A' with input A', it halts iff A says A' does not halt (within the bound) with input A'.

We can avoid the situation by allowing A to make mistakes, by allowing it to say "don't know", or by allowing it to exceed the resource bound.
If you can't properly backup your FIDO credentials the practical security for vast majority of individuals is much, much worse than TOTP. It is extremely inconvenient and the risk of locking yourself out is truly massive.

A friend used to have a dog that ate bees. She would just snatch them out of the air, chew and swallow. Sometimes she'd rub her snout and fuss a bit, but then she'd go right back to eating them.

The lower the barriers to entry, the more competition game developers face, often by teams willing to charge little or nothing. Look at the app stores on mobile: 0.01% of apps make back their development cost

Steam had almost 9000 new games added to it last year, and the average revenue of each fell by almost half a couple of years ago
I’m sure it would be messier and less safe without that but every other supermajority East Asian city is also very safe compared to Western Europe or North America. Hong Kong before and after handover, Seoul, Beijing, all safe. All far poorer than Chicago which is much more violent.
It's not crime. It's cleanliness. Japanese people are really clean. That's really the main reason why things everywhere are charming.

There are cities with similar layouts to Tokyo but they aren't charming simply because those alleyways get really dirty. The griminess influences everything including the businesses and the crowds it attracts. It ends up influencing the whole flavor of the city.
Social programs that take care of the poor are part of that. Affordable housing is part of that.

Yeah well, remember Napster?

Now it’s so easy to share music, it’s meaningless to try to stop people doing it.

I’m just saying, you are kidding yourself if you think that the Powers That Be will just let people decide copyright isnt a thing anymore because of (insert reason here).

Once there is money involved, there will be court cases, and you know, I’ll be shocked if a combination of “needs bigger GPUs to run” and “legal issues” don’t cause these sorts of models to be locked away behind cloud APIs in the future.

It is what it is. Enjoy it while you can; some things are quite predictable, and:

“Law takes a while to catch up with new technology, but it eventually does, and when it does it favours the status quo”

Oh, and of course, we all know Elizabeth Holmes went down for 11+ years. Being federal prison, she'll be lucky if she gets out in 10. Was she not well connected? In terms of damage done, she did not do one hundredth of what SBF did.

As someone above said - culture. As to why the culture is different between say, NYC and Tokyo, well there’s many factors involved.

But as some people say when describing certain things in NYC, “it’s why we can’t have nice things”.
Maybe that means they won't pull the same shenanigans that Mercedes did :)
They didn't really, that's just a Trumpist conspiracy theory trying to equivocate the racist and violent speech among its base with legitimate and mainstream conservative speech, and the banning thereof with political persecution by a shadowy, all-controlling leftist cabal. But conservative speech always has and still does exist on social media, everywhere, in abundance.

In fact, Twitter (and other social media platform) algorithms have been shown to amplify right-wing content more often than left-wing content, not suppress it. Which is of course why they're trying so hard to control it.
Sorry, we’ve been talking past each other apparently. I believe China is strong arming Russia into using the yuan when Russia would prefer anything else. My belief is that this is a sign of how weak the Russian economy is, not a sign of yuan strength.

I 100% believe that the BRICS signatories want to see the dollar dethroned. I’m not even stating an opinion on whether it should be or not. My position is simple, illiberal currencies are not a viable alternative for international trade. A prerequisite for the yuan taking over as reserve currency is it becoming more liberal. That’s not currently the trend.

And fwiw I’ve been both a fx trader and worked in treasury operations for an international. I’ve dealt specifically with moving yuan.
Ooh. This sounds like a good follow-up to my reading of Simon Winchester's "The Perfectionists" - a history of precision engineering, which starts of discussing the difference between precision and accuracy.
>Art and entertainment hinges on novelty and message.

Do they? Show me something truly novel either in terms of art or message created by Hollywood in the last decade. Art and entertainment are risk averse industries - novelty is risk, genre is safe, and within genre you have well defined aesthetics, themes and material from which to derive new iterations on a theme.

The mashups in the blog posted upthread (particularly the Giger/Henson posts[0]) look far more visually striking to me than most modern sci-fi. I want to see that movie based on the look alone, and the look is literally just "what if Dark Crystal, but xenomorphs?"

> Rust: I'm not afraid to admit it - Rust is just too complicated for use as an aging and cranky solo developer.

...

> As someone who actually hates to code for coding's sake and wants to Get Sh!t Done, Rust is just antithetical to my relationship with computers. I don't want to have to think about the language, and that's all Rust wants you to think about.

My guess: the author hasn't even tried it other than a cursory glance. I don't feel at all the way the author does about Rust. I do somewhat about Haskell I admit, although I like it just fine, but Rust is very much a "get it done" language, not something for academics. The only exception to this is the borrow checker, which isn't near the impediment most people think it is, but it does take a little practice. I learned it at 45 without issue, just a little bit of time. At this point, I code Rust as fast as any other language (probably faster when including debugging time - I almost never have to debug my Rust code).
They aren't obvious on Windows either, are they? Keyboard shortcuts are mostly a pro user thing.

And don’t get me started on the way that OS inserts special keys. How do you insert ® on Windows? Alt-01whoCanRemember? On the Mac it’s usually something that makes sense like Option + R.

More productive. And I would argue still mostly underpaid given the value they create.

Most of them?
I'm not sure economists have ever overeaten :) More is for sure not always better. For instance, there may be storage costs. I discourage people from giving me nonconsumable gifts, because I don't have enough space for the crap I already have. Other economic actors like corporations can totally have this problem.

Ok, but unless you stick with some fixed resource limit N forever, the problem is undecidable again.

I suppose we could pick a very large resource number N (allocatable between time and memory space?) and agree that we will create a large body of math and algorithms with the assumption of that limit, so all our theorems and programs within that finite math area are consistent.

But a great deal of math would have to be reconsidered every time N was increased.
I'm intensely interested in this type of stuff, but the article throws me off right away. If I were do undertake this project, I wouldn't "define round the way POSIX does" and "integer division the way C11 does". Instead I'd reinspect the choices POSIX made and the choices C11 made, and then create routines that work however you need it to, i.e. that are configurable and let you control how it works.

Rounding--which btw I prefer to think of as rounding to a decimal place, not rounding to an integer--for example, can introduce biases because there are 10 digits, 0 through 9, but "11 spots on the dial", from round-down-to-0 to round-up-to-0 and therefore 5 is "the exact center" and always rounding 5 in one direction is going to bias your results in one direction, depending on your dataset. The article is breezing past this stuff.

I'm going to keep reading because I'm sure I'll learn some interesting things, but at the end of the first page my skin is crawling because I can see ambiguities in the examples I'm being shown and I keep thinking "wut?".
Oy, veh. Philip Glass gives me the hives.

Google provides value to the sites it links to by sending them traffic, how does an AI company provide value to the artist by using their work to train their systems? I don't see how your analogy works.
Hmm, my Nike goretex shoes already lost their waterproof properties after 1 year of moderate use. I didn't know I could solve this thru Gore.

Edit: I checked and bought these shoes in April 2020. I guess I will try to contact them?!

The product was "Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 Trail GTX Gore Tex". I wonder where I should contact them?
Rails has nice snapshot testing.

It’s not so hard to make this in any language. Just emit output to a text file and have a flag in your test command to overwrite the snapshots instead of asserting that the current output matches the snapshot.

I found that I didn’t even use assertions sometimes. I’d just check git to see if there’s a diff in the snapshots for refactoring

Do you need to configure the Hz? Otherwise it'll run faster in the USA va Europe.
I actually prefer TOTP, at least personally, as a perfect compromise. The problems with FIDO, besides the obvious lack of adoption, are the expense of key devices, difficulty of backups, and lack of support on many devices that don't have NFC (even those that do are frequently spotty)

The 'leaking' of the secret is, to me, a feature. That means I can safely store it as a backup (printed in a safe, even) and restore it to any device I want in seconds. I don't care about a leak by the service, because that is game over for my data there anyway: if they can't protect 2F secrets, nothing is safe.

Really, mutual TLS would be perfect, but nobody is going to support that. I seem to remember even Windows tried something like that a decade ago and even their weight couldn't break us away from passwords for Internet sites.
Russia went from being the “evil empire” to having Starbucks and McDonalds within ten years of ticking just a couple of those boxes. If your nation is still on the international naughty list it’s because of your behavior.

Americans would much rather be selling you cheeseburgers and blue jeans and Avengers movies than fighting with you.
The Japanese government, like France, does not track ethnicity stats. When you see a number like this it means Japanese citizens, not “ethnic Japanese”.

(Ethnic Japanese are nearly the same people as Koreans too, but that doesn’t stop them being racist against each other, so it is all kind of made up.)

There’s also very many more immigrants in Tokyo these days.
Designed by Draper Labs, manufactured by Northrup. My father-in-law worked on inertial guidance for Draper and retired in 1989, but I don't know if he ever worked on this project. Some things he wouldn't talk about because of security clearances. He did work on the Trident INS.

Just before you get too far down the content-editable-is-amazeballs rabbit hole I have to have a quick talk with you.

Sadly, the cross browser support situation is pretty flaky. In practice this means you’ll find a lot of variance in the user input you get depending on which browser it’s coming from. Makes it really difficult to keep styling consistent or parse the content of it.

Sadly this is one of those times we can’t have nice things.
I don't frequent social media aside from Hacker News. But Hacker News is great at moderation. Maybe it's a multiplier effect. Dang does a phenomenal job, and other people see and emulate. Lots of people like to keep this place a civil place.

Twitter is a bigger shop. But can something like that work too? I'm not sure Elon is familiar with HN, but if he were, I think it would serve him well to draw some inspiration from it.
Lawsuits often include people for invalid reasons, sometimes just for attention.

Unless a lawyer pops up with reasons that this might have merit it’s better to just ignore instead of speculate, because it’s essentially just advertising the lawsuit.
I met multiple individuals on my last trip to Australia who commented on how they felt extremely unsafe in the USA (hearing gunshots at night, seeing shootings on the news). Some were native Australians, others were from places abroad, such as Japan.
The MIRV test photo is nightmare fuel. Apocalypse with mathematical precision.
Ok well, what we (should aspire to) do on HN is not throw labels or say ominously "X is way too close to Y", which also explains nothing, but calmly explain to the GP what, in your opinion, the problem is with what they said. Using facts, reason, shared ground, your experience. Teach us something, if you can. It's not easy, and takes some effort. Just throwing labels or slippery slopes around does nothing but make HN worse.

Or, for example, explain why you say "antihumanist", and someone might be able to engage with your reasoning, argue with your assumptions, or even teach you something.

As is, about half of the paragraphs in the guidelines "In comments" section apply to your comments on this page, I think. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
I’m saying if the high priced lawyers couldn’t come up with a convincing argument after researching and with a team of lawyers, why do you think you have “the one true argument” that could stand up in court?
I recently tried Nim for the first time, and although is simpler, the model with values vs refs was a little more complicated than needed imo, and the 'easy C interactivity' wasn't as simple as with, let's say, Zig, where you'd simply do `@cImport`.

It's still fun though, and I appreciate the minimal visual noise while writing it.
I understand you replace everything after line 33 in app/utils/services/pages/defaultLandingPage.ts with the content of the json.
Edge compute is ridiculously difficult, especially given how variable networking can be. Many game routines aren’t able to be efficiently asynchronous either.
Woopsie, totally forgot about that part. It seems like I got too used to webmails.
I am skeptical of apps claiming to block telemetry. There is a feedback loop that app/service developers like Adguard can use for blocking ads - if an ad shows up, they can look into blocking it.

It's not the same for telemetry. There's no way to verify none is transmitted, and difficult to intercept it or distinguish it from essential traffic. Not all telemetry goes to an HTTP endpoint. Some telemetry-like fingerprinting data can be gathered from basic requests (like an email provider scanning email headers, a phone app developer screening spam calls/numbers, a password manager storing domains of your accounts, and so on). More can be sent along with basic requests. And there is much more data/telemetry engineers could do if the number of users interfering with their methods became statistically significant.

I don't mean to fearmonger. I believe that most telemetry gathered is harmless to any particular user and is just used by data scientists and MBAs trying to see trends they can exploit in their business strategy. Ads probably have a much larger impact on an individual (emotional and mental effects), and there is value to ad-blocking services like Adguard. Still, apps claiming to block tracking, fingerprinting, and telemetry seem to target a very naive audience.
Yeah, in R6RS square brackets are considered to be perfectly interchangeable with regular parentheses. That decision was reversed for R7RS-small, though.
No, because the charms come from the culture and the culture will never be replicated elsewhere. Things like, almost no one steals, people return dropped wallets, people don't destroy vending machines (vandalism is low), people try not to annoy others (few house parties, instead rent a bar, practice music in rented music rooms, not at home, it's legal to drink in public but no one does it except at parks and no one gets rowdy, etc... etc...
> You can try to charge $2000, wait four months, get no takers, then lower to $1800, wait four months, etc.

Or you can go to Craigslist, look for similar properties in your area, factor in quality of renovation, furniture, views etc, and have quite informed guess in a matter of hour tops. For a yearly procedure it is adequate.
