I had a similar take on the article. Also, hashing JSON is something which looks somewhat dangerous.

I guess one aspect which was a bit implicit in the article is that if the thing one is hashing has a limited number of states, then a preimage for ordering more apples than intended could be found (in addition to a lack of authentication data). That's where adding more information would also be helpful, and using DER would not fix that.

EDIT: I realised that I made a mistake. A preimage can not be found when a strong hash function is used. What can, however, happen is that differently structured data can have a nonunique mapping to a byte vector which can be exploited.

Copyright addresses a real issue but at the same time creates new issues. It's not obvious to me that a world without copyright is better than one with it. Just because something solves a problem doesn't always mean that it's worth doing, if the costs are too high.
I try to optimize for what is enjoyable. Making and using the thing, whatever it is should be fun.

The reason is, bringing a product to market involves so much drudgery and success is so unlikely — you might as well have a good time.

In a sense this is a tradition that the Go authors already followed once when designing C.

"Although we entertained occasional thoughts about implementing one of the major languages of the time like Fortran, PL/I, or Algol 68, such a project seemed hopelessly large for our resources: much simpler and smaller tools were called for. All these languages influenced our work, but it was more fun to do things on our own. "

I get where you're coming from but consider that C++ has added an obscene number of features and it somehow all works. You can say "that's bad that they added tons of features" and I'll agree with you, but the fact that they've been able to do so is impressive and speaks to a powerful design process.

I still feel there's space for a middle ground language. One that:

* compiles (ie no interpreter/VM required)

* is statically typed and has generics

* has exceptions or option types

* doesn't have a borrow checker

* isn't purely functional but has map, filter, pattern matching, etc

* has reasonable traction

> If a chimpanzee views a person perform a series of superfluous actions, along with one single necessary action, in order to obtain a piece of food, the chimpanzee will skip the superfluous action, and perform only the necessary one.

> In contrast, children will copy every single action, including the unnecessary ones.

I watched the video, but I'm unconvinced. They tell the kid the box is "magic". Children know the box is not magic. Children know how spells work in cartoon and books. So "magic" is a code word for "please copy all the silly steps as accurate as possible".

The apes have no instruction, so they don't understand the must copy all the silly steps.

I'll also blame school. Children are expected and trained to follow orders of adults even if they don't understand them, because it will be better for them in the future.

As every desperate youtuber knows, the best way to get engagement is to ask for it, and to ask specifically. If you want more comments, try adding a question for users to answer into each post (and then, once you get some cash, integrate a challenge or drawing for a prize). If you want subscriptions, you need to integrate an advertisement for yourself in somewhere. If you want more clicks, you need to do this in other places on the internet that people traffic frequently, but without breaking spam rules. Etc. It's all about the slight psychological push it takes to move the lazy brain from observing to action.

Yeah. The saddest thing about the cryptocurrency space is how actual good projects remain marginalized despite their value. Monero is what cryptocurrency was supposed to have been like since the start.

Holding XMR means losing money because it doesn't increase in value proportionally to BTC and gets absolutely destroyed even in minor market crashes. It would be so nice if Monero turned into the de facto stable coin of the cryptocurrency world but it's still way too volatile with all the drawbacks and none of the benefits.

> That's a design problem, not an interface problem. Split you giant 30-methods interface into smaller ones if need be, that the whole point of interfaces: not be a 1-1 mapping to methods, but a semantic (sub)group of them.

It really isn't. This way it becomes a guessing game "Which methods will be used with which other ones?".

Even if I have a KVStore interface with 4 methods: Get, Set, List and Delete, it's a huge value to future code readers if my new structure only accepts an interface with List and Get, or List and Delete.

The nuanced take is that luck is something that can be “made” through putting oneself in situations conducive to getting lucky through exposure, networking, and repeated attempts / not giving up.

You might be able to get successful people to admit that they were in the right place at the right time, but they’ll almost always qualify that with how much effort they put in to be in that situation.

When I was at LSI Logic, I developed the IEEE1394 interface for the second generation JVC D-VHS decks (the HM-DH40000U and HM-DH5U). I worked directly with engineers in Japan and I used to get them to bring me copies of the Japanese ham radio magazine "CQ ham radio" when they would come to visit us in Milpitas. I can't read Japanese, but it's just a wonderful magazine about 300 pages thick (like the old Byte magazine).

Putting aside AGI types of actual "intelligence", this is evolution at work, more or less. As soon as someone finds a useful means of automating the "fitness function" testing that the output has desirable qualities (correctness or entertainment or whatever), everything outside the extremes will rapidly leave human hands. The extremes fall soon thereafter.

The problems are mostly sociocultural, and I am reminded of "Agent Smith" commenting on humans rejecting a Matrix simulation that didn't suck for them.
> you lose access to your email/bank/github/etc. accounts protected by 2FA

I wonder if apps like Microsoft Authenticator are better for this. They sync 2fa codes to your Microsoft account. Naturally, the question becomes "Doesn't that make Microsoft a single point of failure? If someone know's your Microsoft password, they can get into your Authenticator and all your other accounts basically don't have 2FA anymore"

From what I can tell it doesn't look like Microsoft has an answer to this, unless there's something obvious I'm missing. On the bright side, though, if you lose your phone, your 2FA codes aren't lost.

Choices, choices.

Most self-made billionaires came from at least millionaire families.
Generally hard working, smart guys with a lot of skill & luck, but they start at a level we can only dream that maybe our children or grandchildren can start from.

I once worked for a billionaire investor who told us how he got started investing when his father offered him the choice at 13 years old: have his birthday party at one of the most famous & expensive hotels in NYC, or take the cash value of that to invest in stocks. The dollar figure seemed to be something like the equivalent of $50k in 2020 dollars. Much like orange man who got "a small loan of $1M from his father", I am sure the $50k given to a 13 year old was not the first or the last paternal investment.

Another firm managing ~$10B there was a guy who unbelievably made it to the C-suite in his 20s. It was never clear exactly what the connection was, but he was some sort of family friend of the founder and worked for him as a teen. He was also related to a big bank CEO.
Nope, there never was that much nuclear in Germany and most of that is gone now. Maintaining what is there was never going to matter a whole lot. And building new nuclear plants takes way too long for that to be relevant as well. The problem is now, not in a decade from now. Nuclear power is just not very useful when you need it in a hurry. And there are plenty of cheaper alternatives if you have a few decades to spare. All of which are being considered right now.

The issue with gas in Germany is not generating electricity but using it for heating and industry. Nuclear cannot really help with that. There were a only a few GW of nuclear left at the beginning of the year. I believe some of that is being kept online a bit longer. Or they are considering to. But it's just a few GW. All little bits help of course but accelerating the tens of GW of wind coming online in the next few years is much more productive to obsess about keeping the few GW of nuclear power. Not actually against that but it's just not enough to matter much at all.
You are missing the forest for the trees.

The point is that the ability to maintain the peg is the only important value of a stablecoin, if this is brought into question it will be tested. Once it is tested it will either hold, thus 1 or fail and reside permanently at 0. The exact implementation of the peg management - human, algorithm or otherwise doesn't change this fact.

> a phone is not a good 2nd factor for authentication

That's an argument for a phone not being the best 2FA mechanism. The argument for phones as 2FA isn't predicated on them being optimal, it's predicated on them being (1) present in almost all cases and (2) easily used.

Obviously yes, it would be safer if we'd all carry around password-locked yubikeys. But we aren't going to. We do have phones in our pockets, though.
There's a reason 2FA always gives you backup codes? If you didn't write them down that's on you.

Whataboutism is whataboutism.

Attempting to invoke the thankfully largely-discarded concept of "whataboutism" is actually just a kind of backhanded ad hominem used to avoid making a real argument and instead try to make people "look the other way".

Criticism of the existing financial system in the context of discussing a proposed replacement for it is about as related a discussion as possible.

Simply stating that all crypto is bad/criminal adds nothing of value to the discussion.

The truth is that there are (as there generally is with new technologies), useful and practical purposes to which they are applied. Indeed, the majority instances so far of "crypto" having caused harm has actually been the result of an ordinary centralised trust-based fraud donning the label "crypto" to draw in victims to loot.

The #1 mantra of crypto has always been "not your keys, not your coins". Had it been followed, instead of perverted into its opposite and mislabelled "crypto", the most heinous of these scams would not have been enabled.

The thing most actively facilitating crime and fraud in "crypto" lately is the profoundly misguided belief that giving your money to someone you've never met you saw on TV is safer than keeping it in your own wallet.

Crypto is not to blame for that belief, it was invented to provide an alternative.
