You have a point.

However, I indeed don't want Christmas light on my home for somewhat related reasons.gratuitously

But I suspect Christmas lights are not even close to reaching the levels of energy consumed by blockchain mining worldwide. Even Christmas lights are more useful than PoW blockchains.

As human beings we are going to consume energy and produce CO2 for pleasure (we are not talking about strict necessity here). Because in the end, I believe enjoying life is almost an (the?) end-goal of life, if any. But we don't need to burn some so gratuitously neither.
> Around 2015-2019, Macs were terrible. They overheated, theottled and had loud fans. At the same time, the iPad Pro was dead silent, lighter, faster and had better battery life.

This is more of a PEBKAC problem than you realize, iPads are only "faster" because they do a better job of managing background tasks.

The cave is a bad example of putting technology ahead of humans. He actually tried to do something that would help some humans (the head diver of the rescue operation told him it was worth working on) in that case.

You could say he put his ego above harm to someone's reputation, but I don't think you could sat he put technology above people there.
Do you think they would hire those same 6000 people if the corp tax rate was higher in Irland?
These are probably products that come out of freelancing. You see a pattern of a problem that needs to be solved in a domain and couple the product with you consulting. You get a bit of revenue from the product, but maybe also from an ongoing consulting relationship.
He’s in the Bahamas so they’ll need to extradite.
Sure. It just belies motives and incentives that I don’t want anywhere in my society, much less near fuel-burning power plants.

Similarly: nothing about forbidding the use of fossil fuels challenges the fundamentals of the Bitcoin protocol. It’s merely been promoted to the same regulatory status as “burning tires in your backyard for heat.”
Subsidized energy is the problem. Or if it is yours to generate it, the permit to pollute for that energy against the public benefits

>How much public spending and revenue is there for Scotland? During 2021-22 tax revenue generated in Scotland amounted to about £73.8 billion, including North Sea oil revenue. During the same period, Scotland benefited from about £97.5 billion in public spending, a difference of £23.7 billion.

https://www.deliveringforscotland.gov.uk/scotland-in-the-uk/....

(And this of course only compares local tax revenue to local spending, some local revenue has to be spent internationally on aid, defence, international organisations, EU partnership etc. So every region should expect LESS back than it pays in in cash terms).

There is nothing wrong with not being a well-off region. But spending like you are without a fiscal union with someone, is very dangerous. Just ask Greece.

If someone says they want independence, I support that. But they should acknowledge it will be independence with 30% increases in tax or cuts in spending or some mix of the two.
There is constantly threats like that in Fediverse. For instance some threatened to defederate if Tumblr implements ActivityPub and don't remove Ads and what not.

In reality biggest servers still federate with most servers. With latest changes in Mastodon you can now see whom they don't federate. It's not huge list, and if you browse those who don't federate with, it's pretty obvious why.

A lot of those defederated services advertises themselves as some sort of free-speech absolutist alternatives.
A fair minimum tax is one that ensures we stay below catastrophic per-capita emissions, as estimated by the IPCC, created exactly for understanding climate change.

I know all this, thanks.

Preventing double spending is a feature of the consensus mechanism indeed, if it is augmented with other rules (longest chain wins), but immutability does not rely on it, as I said in the comment you are replying to.

EDIT: I've updated my previous comment to make it clearer that what I'm saying is "PoW is not an immutability mechanism" (to which answering "you are wrong, PoW prevents double spending" makes little sense).
There was one that went something like "a typedef (or something) at this point was a complete surprise to me.'

I think "doctors visits feeling like DMV trips" is a hyperbole sold to us by people who are actually trying to keep people trapped in jobs. It's not entirely false, but it's definitely vastly overblown, as seen by current emergency rooms, where you don't need insurance to get emergency care, but do often need to wait several hours, and other countries' routine medical care, where it varies too much between countries to say that waiting lists are a consequence of universal healthcare.
Twitter was losing a billion dollars per year when Jack left as CEO. He may have not run Twitter into the ground, but neither has Musk so I'd argue it's a moot point.

I'm not trying to compare Jack Dorsey to Larry Elison, but my point is that Elon exists somewhere between these two on the axis of "deliberate ruthlessness" and "bumbling incompetence". For Twitter to be profitable, it has to be run like a business instead of a parody of the tech industry.
Google is my ISP. My geolocated IP is accurate within a 15 mile radius. It doesn't matter if I have location services turned off or I'm using my desktop, searching "bakeries near me" finds them without issue.

I suspect that isn't all just one big coincidence.

I don't mind some people wanting to do client side web UI in their favorite server-side language, but do think it's a mistake for companies to have even more fragmented tech stacks and seems a waste of businesses time. But I do worry about the web becoming this opaque wasm blob that you can't inspect (easily) or manipulate with addons, css, etc.
Not sure if it really “went back to”, but an important reason is that Microsoft dropped the ball on consistent and power-user-friendly Windows GUI, and the year of the Linux desktop remains perpetually in the future.
Well, my furnace is wasting potential energy as we speak, and it isn't making me any money.

I don't have enough money for a down payment on a new heat pump system... but I might over time if I could offset heating bill with a BTC miner. It's definitely not a waste if my family is warm and my wallet isn't hurting.
I miss seeing Sun SPARCstations boot. The Sun logo and the black text on white screen was always cool to me.

"The first known examples of a team game involving a ball, which was made out of a rock, occurred in old Mesoamerican cultures for over 3,000 years ago. It was by the Aztecs called Tchatali, although various versions of the game were spread over large regions. In some ritual occasions, the ball would symbolize the sun and the captain of the losing team would be sacrificed to the gods."

Seems like one ball/rock was enough for the team captains.

That's exciting! The fediverse is severely lacking algorithmic curation presumably due to the belief that it's inherently evil (I'd strongly disagree; it's merely the algorithm not being user-controllable what's bad).
Twitter Closes Brussels Office
Nah. Those were the earliest days, but Twitter has been rock solid for about a decade now. Outages and service degradations were extremely rare.

The Fail whale itself got retired in 2013, and there hasn't been a complete global outage since.
Artificial general intelligence does not exist (yet). As of today, there are no actual scientists in that field. But even smart people love to pontificate about things they don't understand.
You use this for things you would run anyway, so the total computation time will be the same, but now you will control the execution order and can for example let the main thread handle things that impact the user experience before lesser tasks.
The cognitive dissonance here is amazing. Here is an actual application of crypto that is downvoted, while empty talking points around how crypto has zero use cases are always the top comments.
Not anymore. Archinstall, an easy-to-use installation script, now comes included in the ISO and so now anyone can install it and get a full-fledged OOTB distro ready within minutes.
Installing arch used to be a lot easier before they deleted the Beginners Guide and redistributed the contents to a bunch of different pages in the wiki.

edit: Beginner's guide, not install guide, is what was deleted
I vouched for your comment.

But...

> Your argument seems to be that energy use that doesn't benefit you is wrong

Not at all. It's not about me. It's about everybody on Earth. A few people are being, in my view, harmful to everybody, including themselves, for no clear benefits to themselves, and for no gain for society.

While, like (increasingly) many people, I'm trying hard to not heat my home too much in winter, avoiding planes, avoiding producing waste too much, some people gratuitously burn energy because why not.

Don't make me look like I'm self-centered or something.
Thanks for the great feedback. I think we can still improve the result, it's only a v1 in beta. I use nothing very advanced for rendering, a stack and tools rather simple. :)
If making big bonfires out of old tires and keeping them burning continuously is a new fad, do you ban that by (a) banning old tire bonfires, or (b) taxing tires highly and letting the free market sort it out? Is a government choosing (a) necessarily in the pocket of Big Tire? Or are they also considerate of people who need tires for legitimate purposes, such as driving?

FTX’s ownership of a U.S. bank raises questions
The point is that it's not all equally meaningless.

However useful uses (typically finding new primes and similar mathematical searches) seem to be fundamentally incompatible with using a blockchain as a distributed ledger in a zero trust environment, because that usefulness automatically weakens the cryptographic safety ?

Wow, this looks awesome! I noticed that the sample notebook doesn’t include SD 2.0 by default, and says that it’s too big for Colab. Is that a disk size/RAM limitation?

As an aside, it would be cool if you versioned that notebook in the repo, so that it could be easily opened with Codespaces.

You would think that a third party could curate Amazon listings and make a lot of money on affiliate links.

But part of me thinks the problem is not just digging it is that many vendors moved off Amazon in general.
I don't regret reading this comment before clicking the link
The figure isn't static. Some models require as little as 3.5gb of free memory, others demand 8-16 gigs. MacOS is weird with memory management and everyone's Mac is different; I'd really only recommend running the model on 32-gig machines to avoid writing into swap, but technically it's possible with 8 and 16 gig machines.
I seem to get more benefit from constructing and populating directory hierarchies.
I'm going back closer to 25 years, and a lot of my experience has been in smaller orgs (less than 50 people). I think I've seen this work once in a larger orgs (>1000 people) but the core issue at stake was overall pretty small in the scheme of things.
I've never managed to connect with America tales of the length of shipping. Almost (99%) everything I order from amazon arrives when it says, most of which is next day. I live in the country, but like most UK citizens fairly close to a major trunk road (10 miles or so).

Of course I'm sure things are different if you live on Mull or Fair Isle, but for the vast majority of us it seems reliable

The quality of what you get from amazon is of course somewhat different.
Magical words on top of magical words, yielding a magical reality.

Strangely, it seems to be almost an unassailable phenomenon, like there is an intuition in people to defend the perspective. Granted, there is substantial propaganda in play, but one would think that at least some people would be able to transcend it.

People sometimes ask me "so are you writing a book on Twitter?" No one's yet asked the same thing about FTX, but I'm sure that's coming.

This is something every agent and every producer is on top of like flies on shit. The chance for someone with no big-name access or connections of getting anywhere with it is about zero.
No, a letter summarizing a law says that, the law itself says:

or utilized by cryptocurrency mining operations that use proof-of-work

No idea what that's supposed to mean but I'm sure it was very clever.

The coppice trees actually tend to have a limited size too

To get planks good enough to make a guitar out of the tree needs to at least twice the diameter of the plank, a plank sawn right through the middle of a tree will warp horribly and probably split down the centre. To get wide planks you need an old tree.

Those are noble goals, but have close to zero chance of happening, and they won't address the root of the problem.

> Search ads on shopping websites are just capitalism taken to the natural end.

The issue is not just with search ads or shopping websites, but advertising in general. It's the primary business model of the modern web, and the main revenue stream for most Big Tech corporations. Considering their symbiotic relationship with governments, neither side has much incentive to change the status quo. Some change is slowly happening, but I suspect it will become much worse until it gets better.

We're lucky that ads are still somewhat blockable. Wait until browsers become WebAssembly interpreters, so that this isn't possible anymore, or for XR to become mainstream, allowing adtech to do much more invasive tracking and advertisers to buy a chance to deliver ads straight to your eyeballs. Label me a pessimist, but I don't see how any of this will be unavoidable in the near future, other than by becoming a luddite.
Being poor is really expensive. This is something rich and middle upper class people never can really grasp.

The cost of credit, unstable housing situations, having a car that breaks down all the time etc. all conspires to keep you poor. As the OP points out, when you are below the threshold needed for "basics", the interest on your debt is always higher than any return on any hypothetical investment you might make with savings (which you can never justify allocating).

American society is great at convincing people that this is their personal moral failing, rather than a system designed to keep the maximum number of people as debt slaves.
To be clear, in the EU, the workers have been blocked from access, but they have not been fired, because he legally cannot fire them in that manner.

Before access was blocked, from what I've heard, many of the EU Twitter employees read the "you're fired" email, said "hah, not from that I'm not" and went right back into work the next day.

If Twitter employees were unionized here in the US, it would be a similar story: Musk could say "you're all fired", but unless he went through the processes outlined in the union contract to fire the people, they would not be fired. At most, if he could get the payroll employees to do his bidding, he could stop them from getting paid, but that would absolutely not hold up in court, and he would have to pay them with back pay once the legal system got done with it—and that kind of legal dispute probably wouldn't take 2 years, since it would be an extremely straightforward case of breach of contract.
Tornado cash was released almost 3 years ago. I would argue it took a lot longer than 3 weeks until its developer was arrested.
This website uses a misleading domain name and has nothing to do with OpenBSD officially. There is no "OpenBSD handbook" (although the FAQ is basically that).

Be Above Average
I just got done searching for an accessory for a specific model of car on Amazon. My results prominently included items (ads) for accessories for a different model of car that would not fit my car. How does that help anyone? Wasted money for the company buying ads. Wasted time for me trying to figure out what is really applicable. And if I wasn't careful, I'd have ordered the wrong thing and would have to return it wasting everyone's time and effort. I guess Amazon got their money for showing me the ad. Worth it? I wouldn't think so, but I'm not one of the richest person in the world like Bezos - My lack of vision?
I had this same idea a few years back while rebuilding my classic Suzuki GS850 motorcycle. Parts and gaskets are not hard to find for most old Suzukis (thankfully) but there are plenty of older motorcycles, cars, and other engine-related equipment where if you need a gasket, your only option is to make one. Many gaskets are intricate enough that making one by hand is extremely time-consuming, and that's assuming you have the tools and skill to make a gasket. (Even many experienced mechanics don't.)

I hit on the idea when my wife bought a vinyl cutter, which is basically a 2D plotter with a knife instead of a pen. I don't know if anyone makes an affordable cutter that can cut through gaskets (the material is thick and full of knife-dulling materials like fiberglass, metal, and carbon) but if they do, this is a totally doable business. I envision a web site where users can select an existing gasket from their database and have it cut and shipped. Or, if the gasket they want isn't yet in the system, they can draw it out using a vector tool (perhaps tracing over an uploaded photo or scanned image of the gasket). Select the material, provide credit card info and shipping address, and you get a gasket in a week or less.

Niche items are pretty much a miss on Amazon. I buy a lot of things on Amazon but as a hobbyist cook and knife collector something like whetstones are much better purchased at a specialty retailer. I trust a shop like japaneseknifeimports.com a lot more than Amazon. These shops cater to the community and the mutual success of the community and the businesses are important.
Study: Beaming Energy in Space to Earth
Ah well, here I argue that CFCs, same as carbon emissions, should be regulated.

But it should be fair across all industries.

My hypothesis is: special laws betray special interest - here, Big Oil still wants most of the world to pollute, but Big Banks want Bitcoin out of the picture.
