> I think what's interesting is that many types of creativity may really just be re-synthesizing "stuff we already know."

This is obviously true, and yet we've invented so many things. From the wheel, to control of fire, to farming and animal husbandry, to mathematics, to metallurgy, to physics, to semiconductors, etc.

The interesting question is, was the invention of all those things simply the re-synthesis of "stuff we already know?" If the answer is yes, doesn't that mean we're now on the cusp of a something akin to a singularity? We can now synthesize nearly-unlimited streams of coherent human thought. If we had a way of differentiating the wheat from the chaff, we could analyze what would have been millennia of human output in the proverbial blink of an eye. If human knowledge is just "stuff we already know", then we better buckle up. It's about to be a wild ride.

Yeah do you have one setup?
I’ve had this business idea for years but I would be torn apart in todays world if I tried to launch it:

Build an ML model trained on actual images of women’s breasts and bras that are verified to fit them well. Once the core model is built a separate, a smaller size on-device model is built to be the model users actually interact with. A user submits an image of breasts and is told right away which bras in which sizes would be the best for them. Photos containing faces would be blocked from being uploaded. No photos would leave the device unless a user opted in to do so in order to help improve the model.

Monetization is straightforward: affiliate fees for directing users to buy bras at retailers, plus sponsored placements in search results at some point.

Biggest concern is how to come up with the initial data set, but I’m fairly certain there’s a solution there.

Am I crazy or is this as obvious as it seems to me? ThirdLove sucks, as do calculators like this.
Yeah that is fair. I think the contention I have with it is those runtimes generally don't save time or money but come with more constraints - constraints that usually lead to poor architecture decisions.

Examples I have seen include:

Massive/mono-lambda - this is caused by the overhead of managing many functions so instead everything gets packed into one with some sort of router logic. The usual cause of this one is managing many Lambda/FaaS things becomes too hard, especially if you are also using API Gateway and friends.

Resource misuse - the nature of these FaaS runtimes is they are essentially glorified cgi-bin, in all the worst ways. Namely they tend to mask memory leaks and other poor programming habits until they start leaking through as spurious failures.

Poor observability - because FaaS results in unpredictable lifetimes you end up making concessions in your observability stack. Can't do in-process rollup, can't do pull model metrics, i.e Prometheus, etc. You can somewhat get away with this with doing full tracing and sampling on the collector side instead but you have just made the whole thing inefficient for...what exactly?

Unnecessary cron-like things - this usually comes from places that try to go all-in on FaaS and squeeze everything into FaaS shaped boxes. Something that would much better be a daemon that spreads it's work over time cleanly becomes a cron-like thing that fires every minute, usually spawning 1000x of sub-FaaS things to accomplish some maintenance task paying huge amounts of overhead. Again... for what?

Poor DB connectivity options - again linked to unpredictable lifetimes and "unlimited scale" you don't have as many options for DB connectivity, you have to invest in bouncers immediately even if your application would actually be fine running on just 10 connections or so... if you had 10 containers instead of potentially 100s of lambdas.

Poor resource sizing options - sometimes you just need a fk-ton of RAM to solve your problem. Most of the FaaS providers limit not just your max runtime but also max resources you can grant said function. Leading again to sub-optimal work splitting for memory hard problems.

The list keeps going on tbh, this is far from exhaustive.

At the end of the day the tradeoffs aren't worth it. The only thing of value you get in return is "unlimited scalability" which is easily approximated with k8s primitives.

I really don't see why k8s shouldn't be the default option for anyone considering these FaaS things given GKE/AKS/EKS exist and do 99.99% of the work for you and are WAY less complicated than the FaaS runtimes and their associated requirements.

Solana was centralized in a bunch of really obvious ways, and if you were taken in by Solana, I strongly suggest that you gain an understanding of what was centralized about Solana before investing in any crypto again. This has happened before and will likely happen again. If you're investing in crypto without understanding what decentralization is, you're investing in things you fundamentally don't understand, which is always a poor choice.

What worries me more about this is that companies like Coinbase listed Solana at all. I think that Coinbase does understand decentralization and knew Solana was centralized, so listing a centralized coin shows that they're not committed to decentralization.

I think that because it’s actually true.

Most assets in circulation that we use as money are not fiat!

The central bank issues money to banks. The treasury may mint coins or print paper money (the greenback). Those are legal tender (which btw the Supreme Court of the United States struck down the Legal Tender Act as unconstitutional, but President Grant stuffed the court with two justices and they reversed this ruling in their very next session).

If your federal government issues a CBDC or mails checks to you drawn on the treasury, that is fiat.

If your local bank employe an underwriter to review your business and approve a LOAN to you, they just create a balance within the bank. The existence of the FDIC and Federal Reserve does NOT make this money fiat.

Anyway, your credit card balance is NOT legal tender. No one has to accept it as payment of a debt. The only reason it is accepted is that merchants are willing to contract with Mastercard and your issuing bank. But they don’t have to. Many merchants decline the payments.

Same with Venmo and all those other systems. Sorry but it’s NOT fiat.

You may deposit fiat into a bank, and it will give you a balance. Their terms probably state that they can lend out your money and not have an obligation convert it all back to actual fiat currency (eg cash and coins). The bank may use the Automated Clearing House system (ACH) run by the Federal Reserve to send money to, say, Venmo or PayPal or another bank. Those companies then give you a balance. But that isn’t fiat, either.

Bitcoin is just a decentralized PayPal. And the internal credits are a floating exchange rate instead of maintaining a peg. You buy some amount of a digital asset — whether denominated in dollars or bitcoins — and it is stored on a ledger. That’s all. Whether the ledger is inside PayPal or on a public blockchain is irrelevant.

If you received a payment inside Venmo, you received some amount of a digital asset. You would owe income taxes same as if you received an in-kind payment in spaghetti!

This is a common problem for any peer to peer protocol.

Doesn't really strike me as a problem though, it just means the client has responsibility of opening a port. Considering the complication of adding 1000s of hole punching strategies in the protocol, it's a fine trade-off.
I guess the argument would be that it's not "secured"? It's certainly similar though.

Sure, but it is in their business interests to have a good approximation for where the line is, hence why they have lawyers. My point is that from everything I have read about it, it doesn't even seem like they were close to said line
> How does one send packets to 192.168.X.Y without being on that network already?

It's not sending IP packets; the attacker figures out the wi-fi MAC of the client they want to deauth, then spoofs that MAC in 802.11 "deauth" frames sent to the access point. The access point then complies by cleaning up whatever data structures it's using to keep track of the client, and when it receives the next packets from the client, it doesn't know who it's talking to anymore.

The attacker doesn't need to authenticate to the wifi network to send these frames. At the most they might need root/admin on their machine because you have to send custom packets and that's generally restricted, but as the original article said, there are custom boards that are designed just for deauthing attacks.

> there is nothing here that tells me whether my ultra rare skin that I received

You're looking at this entirely the wrong way. There's no new law here: the reason you don't see the guidance you are looking for is that from a tax perspective there is not any difference between bitcoin and a rare game skin. They are both personal property and if a US citizen sells them at a gain they are liable for capital gains tax. [1]

The question is on form 1040 for two reasons:

1) As a heads up to people that may not have realized that crypto gains are taxable.

2) To force you to lie if you want to conceal gains, so you can't claim ignorance later.

A $100 gain on a skin that you sell on ebay (less your cost basis, however that might be computed) has _always_ been a taxable event and the failure to declare it is minor tax evasion of the type that literally everyone is guilty of. But the IRS doesn't particularly care about small beer like that. The crypto question is there because for some people there's serious money involved.

(IANAL, but if you have any question at all about this a CPA or tax attorney is well worth the cost)

If you have a valid reason, I'd do the pencil thing. I'm busy a lot of the time. I still can do stuff for people.

I'm confused how the pencil hypothetical is related. The terminology has a reason. The pencil moving has no reason. I gave specific reasons why the terminology matters to people. The hypothetical is irrelevant. The DDOS is also out of scope.

This all seems incredibly unimportant. There doesn't appear to be any principle behind not moving the pencil or not going along with terminology changes.

Life is about other people too. Not just ourselves. You have a small minor issue while others have actual grievances. How is using main instead of master ruining your efficiency? Life changes. Stuff changes. Progress happens.

> Virtual currency is a digital representation of value, other than a representation of the U.S. dollar or a foreign currency (“real currency”), that functions as a unit of account, a store of value, and a medium of exchange.

This implies that things that aren't virtual currencies can still be a "representation of value".

How are they not? Certainly under the plain face meanings of those words they are. There's a reason we call them "currencies".

> but I have no idea why it would lead to less decentralization in practice

Because it takes money to have enough ETH to be a validator and therefore, you centralize. It takes 20ETH to be a validator, and at the height of ETH valuation, that roughly translated to about $100k. Not everyone has that kind of money to stake. Plus, it is well know that majority of ETH or any crypto for that matter is held by a small group of people, which further pushes centralized operations.

> Arguably, it's because you tried it "only for a few hours". Rust has a relatively steep learning curve and it usually takes several months to become comfortable with it. But once you get over it, it often becomes quite hard to return to your previous languages, be it Python or C/C++.

You failed to address OP's point.

OP wondered why would he, or anyone, subject anyone else to a steep learning curve if there are no meaningful advantages to be gained.

As OP mentioned:

> Take backend dev for example: unless you're trying to squeeze the last drop of performance from your CPU, most concurrency issues are usually dealt with at the middleware level (DB, Queue, Nginx, etc), and most performance issues are usually I/O related.

Why do you believe that doubling down on a whole new programming language and tech stack would help address the fact that you do not benefit from any of it's sales pitches?

Honestly, your comment reads like a boilerplate reply to any criticism of Rust that presumes Rust's only problem is it's developer experience caused by it's learning curve but once that's behind anyone it's somehow the ideal solution for any imaginable scenario.

This is far from the first keyboard with a screen it's just the latest to do it with good marketing (and a not-horrible price to boot). In regards to showing the current keyboard layout or animated keys the "Optimus" line of keyboards released sometime in the late 2000s pushed that selling point heavily for example.

I prefer blank keyboards though. A bit more painful for the first few weeks you're using a new layout but if you commit yourself to actively getting over that initial hurdle it's better in the long run anyways.

Whether or not it's legal tender, or fiat, or "greenbacks" has nothing to do with whether it's currency for the purpose of taxation, which is the sole object of interest in this conversation.

The IRS considers the funds you have on deposit with a bank (in the form of Commercial Bank Money) to be currency for the purpose of taxation. They also consider the funds your have on "deposit" (in the form of Nonbank Money) with non-bank financial services to be currency for the purpose of taxation.

Finally, they consider your digital assets, defined above, to be property for the purpose of taxation.

Edit: to be maximally precise, digital assets are considered non-currency property.
