> Motherfucker, the entire crypto industry is in the middle of a collapse. It lasted less than a decade at scale and that’s just the 10% that weren’t an out and out scam (I lean toward that number being closer to 0%, but I’ll throw you a bone since you sound like you’re caught up in it).

1) Stick to overcollateralized stablecoins (MAI, DAI, FRAX, sUSD, sEUR, etc.) & Layer 2s (Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync). If you're okay with the centralization risks, then USDC & fiat-backed stablecoins can enter into the picture.

2) Account abstraction's an important step in providing the necessary security & recovery features to make it easier to use & secure. One of the parts required was ERC-4337, which has been in the works for some time and was recently publicly announced.

Before the contrarians come in for the quick gotcha and say that it bring in centralization: That's been made painfully aware multiple times over. However, Vitalik's 2021 post on social recovery wallets puts it best:

https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/01/11/recovery.html

> One common response to suggestions to use any form of multisig, social recovery or otherwise, is the idea that this solution goes back to "trusting people", and so is a betrayal of the values of the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry. While I understand why one may think this at first glance, I would argue that this criticism stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of what crypto should be about.

> To me, the goal of crypto was never to remove the need for all trust. *Rather, the goal of crypto is to give people access to cryptographic and economic building blocks that give people more choice in whom to trust, and furthermore allow people to build more constrained forms of trust*: giving someone the power to do some things on your behalf without giving them the power to do everything. Viewed in this way, *multisig and social recovery are a perfect expression of this principle*: each participant has some influence over the ability to accept or reject transactions, but no one can move funds unilaterally. This more complex logic allows for a setup far more secure than what would be possible if there had to be one person or key that unilaterally controlled the funds.

I’m using my real name, so its not hard to know who I am.

Unfortunately, I don’t know much about you, and actually I don’t really think there is conflict of interest if you work in Modular, because Modular is also developing compiler abstractions, which is something I like and agree with, isn’t it? Let’s discuss about techniques, and it doesn’t have to be that heated :-)

To clarify, my point is matmuls can be solved with proper compiler abstractions, and it’s not that hard, and if you are working on a compiler, I believe you would more or less agree with that point, do you?

Liking Triton or not is a personal preference, and I use this as an example only because it’s gaining a lot of momentum at the moment, not saying it’s a perfect abstraction. If you personally don’t like it, I could also discuss about exo-compilation, tensor comprehension, but let’s always focus on concrete technical items :-)
I suppose it's ironic that the majority of us will read this off some sort of electronic screen rather than off printed paper.

I like GPT-4's explanation of P vs NP.

Prompt:

"Give me good computer science arguments for why P = NP and why P != NP"

Response:

"The P vs. NP problem is a major open question in computer science, which asks whether problems whose solutions can be quickly verified by a computer can also be quickly solved by a computer. Both sides of the argument have been extensively debated, but the problem remains unsolved. Here are some arguments for both possibilities:

Arguments for P = NP:

Lack of counterexamples: Despite extensive research, no concrete counterexample has been found to definitively prove that P != NP. This lack of evidence may suggest that P = NP could still be true.

Potential algorithmic breakthroughs: If P = NP, this implies that a polynomial-time algorithm exists for every problem in NP, even though such algorithms may not be known yet. There is always the possibility that new algorithmic techniques or breakthroughs could be discovered, leading to polynomial-time solutions for NP problems.

Simplicity and symmetry: From a theoretical perspective, some argue that P = NP is a more elegant and symmetric outcome, as it would mean all problems that can be verified in polynomial time can also be solved in polynomial time.

Arguments for P != NP:

Exponential lower bounds: Some computational problems have proven exponential lower bounds, indicating that these problems are fundamentally difficult to solve. While these problems may not be in NP, they provide evidence that not all problems can be solved efficiently.

The lack of efficient algorithms: Despite extensive research and many attempts, no efficient (i.e., polynomial-time) algorithms have been found for any of the NP-complete problems, which are among the hardest problems in NP. This suggests that P and NP might indeed be separate complexity classes.

The existence of NP-complete problems: NP-complete problems are those that, if any one of them can be solved in polynomial time, then all NP problems can be solved in polynomial time. They are considered the hardest problems in NP. The existence of such problems, and the lack of polynomial-time algorithms for them, supports the belief that P != NP.

Cryptography: Modern cryptography relies on the assumption that certain problems are hard to solve, such as factoring large numbers. If P = NP, then these cryptographic schemes would become insecure, as the difficult problems on which they are based could be solved efficiently. The widespread use and success of cryptography provide some evidence that P != NP.

It is important to note that these arguments are speculative, and no definitive proof has been found for either side of the debate. The P vs. NP problem remains a significant open question in computer science."

I do not think the reason for nuclear weapons treaties is that they can blow up "the ultra wealthy". Is that why the USSR signed them?
At my previous employer, there was at least one person with a "staff software engineer" job title who believed that running more than one Ruby server process per AWS virtual machine would lead to unacceptable contention at the hardware level. I was never able to convince them that Linux handles tens of thousands of processes just fine, or that even if you do one per VM there's nothing stopping AWS from scheduling those VMs onto the same machine.

I guess whether you consider someone like that to be a "serious person" or a "charlatan" depends on your own point of reference.

In that case, their arguments were more persuasive to management than mine were. I found the experience baffling.

1 GW can serve 100,000 simultaneous EV charges.

Texas 2023 wind capacity is 36 GW.

Texas 2030 projected wind capacity is 70 GW with IRA amplifying build out.

At capacity factor of 32%, average wind output is 22 GW.

A strong wind night peaks out at 70% of capacity, for 49 GW. At grid-level, output tends to max out at 70% of capacity.

The excess, over the wind average (49-22=27 GW) could charge 2.7 million EVs.

Daily consumption for a single EV averages at 10 kWh to get 30 mi driving distance.

In three hours 2.7 million EVs would have sufficient charge to drive 90 miles, or 3-days' worth of driving.

8 million cars are registered in Texas. It is unlikely more than 2.7 million EVs will be on Texas roads in 2040.

So, during 2030-2040 era, all EVs could be entirely powered with 3-hours of charging once every 3 days.

I have no idea where all that extra electricity is going to get used after the EVs take their charge. Maybe smelt some aluminum?

Not to mention whatever was in their paperwork for the warrant was a fabrication, apparently!

That should be the entire story: if a raid is performed and the warrant doesn’t pan out the cops behind the warrant should be immediately investigated by another agency (which, they’re cops too so who knows if this would help).

Super curious why so many of the photos are missing. Something tells me LAPD's going to scrutinize the release of their photos going forward after that release.

If you try to request photos of police in Chicago, they claim to have some wild esoteric process to get the photo such that if you request any more than 5 photos, they'll deny the request it unduly burdensome because of the way to access those photos. It's... doubtful.. that that's actually the case since their badge system has photos and they just need to pull from there, but... it's tricky is all I'll say.

I have no doubt that a pandas expert (or a postgres expert, or a mysql expert, or..) can whip up something fairly quickly to load in the data and find the totals.

My tool is designed for people who are not experts but just have a basic understanding of relational tables (e.g. someone comfortable with a spreadsheet) to be able to load a data set like this and analyze it with just a few clicks of a mouse. Using it, I was able to do the whole thing in about 2 minutes.

BTW: When my numbers did not match up with another HN commenter on this thread, I investigated and found a bug in my code. Once fixed the numbers were correct. (I guess that's why it is still in beta!)
You'd generally use co-tenancy for workloads that are mutually trusted. Privileged services (authn/authz, machine management, deployable artifact builds) get put onto separate hardware, since their footprint is small enough that the extra 200% cost isn't material.
Also, explored in many other episodes. Like the seventh season episode Bloodlines, fourth season episodes Suddenly Human and Final Mission, and countless others.

It is heavily tread territory. Picard offers nothing really new to it. But it wants to retread it all over again for some reason. It's not really a continuation, it's a poor rehash. It's not even resolving anything. It's reopening something that's been resolved.

Picard Season 2 was considerably worse than Season 1.

It doesn't have to be TNG, but it could at least be closer to Strange New Worlds.

Picard is way more action-oriented than TNG-era Trek. There hasn't been an episode where physical violence wasn't central to the conflict. Now, Picard's structure is different from TNG-era. It is not episodic. Every episode serves a larger storyline. That necessarily precludes any individual episode being about "a thing".

I don't think Picard Season 3 is that different direction. It's just got more window dressing. It's more a continuation of the movies than of the series.

I believe the idea is to spin new servers on AWS and and connect players directly to them instead of hopping via their own infra.

That’s way your profit margins on the AWS servers is lower than self hosted ones but at least you’re making money.

I know there are issues with it, because small plaintiffs would mostly suffer it at the hands of extremely well-funded respondents, but I do wish there was some kind of automatic penalty for bringing such a outrageous suit. Like if the judge can´t stop laughing at you for being such an idiot, you get tarred and feathered in the courtroom and Afroman gets to use footage of that in a music video. Which I guess would be a particularly just punishment in this case.
Why do you program? It won't go away, it'll just be different. You probably don't know x86 or arm instruction sets anyway. This will be a much faster, easier way to manipulate symbolic code.

I'm looking forward to being able to work alongside an AI because there are a zillion ideas I have every day that I don't have the time to fully explore. And all I do is work on the backend of a boring-ass webapp all day.

The only worrying thing is how fast this will accelerate everything... I'm worried society will, if not collapse, go for a wild ride.

As for interfaces... I'm looking forward to much better voice assistants. I would love to be able to essentially have conversations with the internet.
Funny that the GPT detector is giving 75-99 percent AI probability for that comment.
I dont think that will be the future. Maybe in the first year(s) but then it is a race to the bottom:

If it is that simple to create products more people can do it => cheaper the products.

A market driven by cheaper products that can also produce them easily is going into a price reduction loop until it reaches zero.

Thus I think something else wil happen with AI. Because what I described and what you describe is destroying the flow of capital which is the base of the economy.

Not sure what will happen. My bet (unfortunately) is on a really big mega corp that produces an AI that we all use.
Oh boy this isn’t going to end well for the police
“Unless we recognize that student members of the Federalist Society and other conservatives have the same right to express their views free of coercion we cannot live up to this commitment nor can we claim that we are fostering an inclusive environment for all students.”

Yes this is exactly the slang
> switch between a value to a reference

your language is too sloppy for me, a pointer-to-a-struct contains a value (could say "is" a value), and some struct-members might resolve as values, but a switch from a struct to a pointer-to-a-struct is not a switch between a value and a reference; while you might call a pointer "a reference", a struct is never a value. Or did you mean a "dot" r-value and a "dereference to an" r-value? This all makes a difference because C is a call-by-value language, and you can't pass a struct, so it's an important distinction to maintain.

This kind of change might be something a student or newb might encounter, but an experienced C programmer is going to have a sense from the start whether to go with a static/local struct or a malloc'ed one. Maybe on more common a struct containing a struct might switch to a struct containing a pointer to another struct.

personally, I use hungarian and ps->x vs s.x is a nice reinforcement of what hungarian is trying to reinforce. Using parenthesis to illustrate a sort of precedence, I guess I associate the (pointer->) like that as opposed to the (.member) though I can't defend that as making an inordinate amount of sense :)

There's no question of what Maxwell meant. He is using the word in a relatively rare sense, yes. And he's spelling it exactly the way you'd expect. There is nothing out of the ordinary and therefore nothing to explain.
