This is such a farce of an article.

"Coinbase has taken an increasingly defiant stance, publicly criticizing the SEC and urging regulators to write new rules for crypto rather than enforce existing ones."

No, they're asking the SEC to provide evidence and the SEC has been ignoring them and trying to have everything be a security.

"The firm has accused the SEC of stifling innovation and has spent millions of dollars lobbying Congress in hopes of bypassing regulators through new legislation."

Again no, they're not trying to bypass regulators whatsoever. Coinbase has posted again and again and again that they want to be properly regulated including by the SEC, but the SEC refuses to work with them.

It's extremely frustrating because people who know what's actually been going on can clearly see the bs, but most people who read this article (including a ton of the anti crypto crowd on HN) will just latch onto this as if it is truth.
You're basically trying to invalidate that person's comment with a made-up hypothetical.
I would have expected it to go to Workspace. It seems to fit in more with office suite database applications. But you're right, the GCP timeline on Wikipedia shows no shuttered products. Maybe I'll actually use that CRM template.
Incentive. Farms and factories require water as an input to fulfil some other purpose. They have no incentive to extract more water than they need for their processes, increasing the price incentivises them to reduce their consumption. In contrast, a bottled water company's revenue directly correlates with how much water they can extract. Increasing the price does not encourage a reduction in consumption since consumption is tied to revenue. In fact, if margins tighten due to price increases we might expect to see production increase, with the aim of maintaining the rate of profit.

Even without being shipped across the world, in most places, bottled water is still hugely wasteful. Multiple facilities, haulage, plastic, stores, and refrigeration to deliver something that is directly piped into almost every building.
And still Cigna’s profit margins are low single digit percentages.

Wonder what premiums and out of pocket maximums would have to be if there were fewer denials.
This is always the response of someone who doesn't understand the difference between "private property" and "personal property". Next to zero percent of people who want to abolish private property want to abolish personal property.

You can keep your playstation. That's personal property. The people who want to abolish private property are interested in removing the ability for you to exercise power over others because you are holding a public good in private. For instance, by purchasing land and renting it to others, or by using private water rights and making a profit from them.

If we can talk about this stuff without resorting to strawmen, I think there's an interesting and useful exchange of perspectives that can happen.
Thanks, I will try harder to keep it on point, i've found that i've told it not to do things, like keep offering generic advice or what not, but it keeps doing it.
They’ve already tapped the unsophisticated retail investors and get rich quick fools, going so far as to saturate ad space at the superbowl and buy stadiums. Perhaps the last pump they have left is to fleece the true believers. In the end it eats it own.
First this is clearly clickbait.

The people who say

- new technology can cause dramatic paradigm shifts
- this is new technology
- therefore this will cause a dramatic paradigm shifts

are as bad as the ones who say
- there many examples of new technology which did not "work"
- this is new technology
- therefore this will work
Thank you! We use a variety of Stable Diffusion models in the backend to power Reimagine - with ControlNet, Inpaint and Depth2Img with the later being dreambooth’ed on home interiors, the diffusers lib and using the latest UniPCMultistepScheduler - which makes it faster. We are currently running this on a NVIDIA T4 on a single node.

Curious question. How hard would it be to write an OS in Turtle Graphics?
>It is just a fact that Google and the US intelligence apparatus are more invasive than TikTok and the Chinese.

This isn't a fact, and that people pretend that it is is a strange contortion of reality that I'm really struggling to understand. CCP is actively using a vast state-sponsored surveillance apparatus to do things like build actual (not imagined) concentration camps. And your reaction to these facts is to imagine that the American state's reaction to its secrets being exposed - regardless of how noble that action was - is the same thing. It's clearly not. For your comparison to be worthwhile, you have to pretend that CIA and NSA are co-owners of Meta and Google and have the means to use it to move elections and public opinion (foreign and domestic) in the way the American regime wants. Is this what you're claiming?
The point of copyright is “To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts”, not to be fair or to guarantee a lifetime of income to popular authors and their children. To that end, the exclusive copyright is supposed to be of limited time.

Having no-effort century-long copyright might narrowly benefit a tiny number of small-time creators, but it robs the public of our collective culture.

Separatist movements start when people are oppressed and their grievances aren't addressed. Everyone acts like lines drawn on maps 60+ years ago are some holy sacrament. Let the region hold self determination votes.
if that restriction is lifted then the sonic boom is going to be the next status symbol of the top .1%ers.

also - can someone give a tl;dr why that guy is so passionate about that to begin with?

> I’m struck by the fact that American economic growth went off the rails in 1973, the same year the overland ban on supersonic flight came into force.

seems like is onto something ...

> The speed limit cannot be responsible for the entirety of the Great Stagnation, of course.

oh, really, no kidding?
Instead of just linking to a 24 min video can you share what part was awful?
This article comes off as _very_ optimistic, to the point of making some really bad assumptions and misrepresenting data.

The bit about sitting in a sonic boom simulator chamber is just silly — the author's subjective opinion about the loudness of a sonic boom has no bearing on reality, and fails to factor in that sonic booms during e.g. Bongo II (1964) shattered windows not because of the sheer volume of the sonic booms, but because this pressure wave would strike the large surface area of a window nearly all at once, putting a fair amount of energy into it in doing so.

Almost as silly is the line extrapolating speed trends in commercial aviation over time; it reads like xkcd#605. It completely ignores the different regimes of high-speed flight and the limitations posed by it. 2,500mph is roughly Mach 3.2 at sea level, or nearly 3.8 at 60,000ft. At Mach 2, you need to start seriously considering thermal issues caused by friction related to parasitic drag and the paint/coating of the aircraft; at Mach 3, these become primary design constraints, and active cooling systems have to be deeply integrated into the airframe. This is to say nothing of the exotic engine design decisions that have to be made in these regimes.

Much north of Mach 4, transporting any useful load becomes borderline impractical in-atmosphere with current technology.

Ignoring fuel economy issues since I brought this up in a separate comment: since the introduction of the Concorde, the major focuses of aviation development have been on safety, reliability, and automation (all of which are strongly linked). "We live in the safest era of aviation in history" is an evergreen statement thanks to those advancements, and aviation incidents — while tragic and unfortunately not completely eliminated yet — claim fewer lives with each passing year (as a proportion of passenger-miles travelled).
No but the first party users should not consume all the compute on the chip. The bigger the margin the better for the device. The other aspect of this is speed and power consumption (battery life is a top 3 phone feature across pretty much all consumers).
You could get a C++ job. One of the issues with C++ is most people using it for anything useful only need to know some particular subset, only actually know that subset, and then get bit when the subset they know changes.
Or, an other way to put it is, it’s an attempt to build diversity without fragmentation. The spec follows the open closed principle in a sense - it’s open for extension but closed for modification, and if you choose to target say RV64G, you know that it will run on most 64 bit RISC-V processors. If you choose an extension, it’s not all that different from, say, figuring out which of Intel’s various SSE extensions is actually available.

Of course, there are vendors who are only RISC-V adjacent, but they will either put up, shut up or subsume the entire ecosystem if they get big enough. Time will tell.
And it's pretty hilarious how far over your head a joke can fly when you follow the wrong politics.
Funny, I constantly think how much more educated the educated people were in the past than today. The minimum IQ required to graduate college (and even some masters degrees) with decent grades can’t be much more than 100 at this point, but was certainly more like 115 or even 120 in the 1950s. I would argue that the vast majority of graduating college students are almost entirely unable to write a half decent essay. I’m not saying that it’s a bad thing that more people get to go to college, but let’s not delude ourselves into thinking the average person is so highly educated!
I’m constantly in pain about how much human ingenuity takes the back seat just to keep the wheels turning in lives. If we actually tried to meet most of the requirements for people, creative thinking would flourish.
There's also a lot more gamers than drone pilots. Supply and demand

Would be interesting to see how that applies to airline pilots
Yeah, so my first thought was this is fucking terrifying. I'm not going to go so far as to suggest that in its current state this is anything like Skynet as some others have, but I would definitely agree that it's akin to handing a loaded gun to a monkey.

Imagine it's five years from now and your morning consists of trying to track down the owner of some "AI server" to understand why it keeps DDoSing your service.

EDIT: this also makes me wonder if people are going to stop publicly sharing trivial kinds of knowledge and documentation that could be used by a model to recreate their business model or be abused for dangerous purposes. Imagine AI brings about a kind of technical dark age as capitalists try to "fight back" adoption. There has to be a sci-fi short story or novel with this plot. Anyone have any examples?
Fuck off, nazi.

Doesn't that also imply that it would be possible to fly a modified plane at the regular speed of a regular aircraft at that much higher altitude, and use way less fuel? Airlines' main cost driver is fuel, so it seems like they'd take advantage of that as much as possible.
IANAL but I think I recall seeing that the US libraries’ initiative to reprint some older books on non-acid-based paper was supported by an explicit carve-out in US copyright law.
Over the past three years VCs have invested billions into essentially worthless crypto companies. They’re now holding giant bags of tokens that need to be dumped on retail ASAP.

If Coinbase’s shitcoin listing operation were shut down by the SEC, the VCs would lose their primary dumping endpoint to retail crypto buyers in the West. There’s an urgency to both pump up prices now and to pretend that the SEC action is nothing.
I completely agree. It feels like the designers of Swift gazed into the C++ abyss too much. I really wanted it to be an ergonomic systems language. Zig now fills that void for me.
I'd be interested in an in-depth write up from some academic who actually studies the scots language, rather than a reddit comment and a bunch of journalists trying to make clickbait.

The Scots language as a concept is a bit slippery since it's so close to standard English on the one hand, and there's quite distinct sub-dialects too.

In practical terms, it's a bit like writing a wikipedia in "Southern American" or "AAVE", you're duplicating the content of the shared us/gb english wikipedia, so you can mabye use "y'all" and other local terminology but if you go all out it'll sound like a parody, and if you don't then why would you bother in the first place?

edit: this article is at least by a local journalist, and seems useful:

"A stramash hits Scots language Wikipedia"

https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/18678238.issue-day-stram...

> Once Scotland’s official language, since 1707, Lowland Scotland has been experiencing a linguistic phenomenon known as ‘diglossia’: where Scots rapidly switch between two languages. One language is taken as the prestigious ‘high tongue’ suitable for literature, education and the arts; and other is perceived as common speak suitable only for casual conversation. Some among us can still remember being hit by their teachers for not talking ‘proper’, and despite being as different as Danish is to Swedish, many still scoff at the idea of a legitimate Scots language. As a result of centuries under attack, Scots is losing its uniqueness and may be at risk of total assimilation into English.

Has some useful stuff. An initial read through finds that it's fairly minor disagreements being blown out of proportion. First one I clicked was is "football (soccer) spelt 'fitba' or 'fitbaw', which are both given as alternatives in scottish dictionaries, but the American teenager preferred 'fitbaw'.

This is on the same level as should email have a hyphen. It's great that Wikipedia has people that worry about style guide stuff like that, but it's wrong to suggest it's full of basic mistakes if it decides to use one you don't like.

The other common example seems like a genuine mistake, but might just be a find and replace error.

Something like 35% of the US has graduated university[1]. I suppose the average university graduate is smarter than the average person regardless of the school they attended.

I saw that, I find that hard to believe unless they are flying extremely high. I think height was also mentioned.

But doesn't flying that high damage the ozone or something ? I thought that was one of the many reasons the concord was stopped (Yes, I know the real reason was financial). If so, many planes flying that high could cause other issues.

But some people will see if this happens.
It would be the state’s insurance regulator, although do not know if they are as effective as CFPB. Financial issues tend to be much less complicated than health issues, and usually just a result of understaffing and underinvesting in customer service.

If you think about it a capacitive touch sensor provides a noisy Grayscale image and the goal is to detect and classify blobs as touch gestures as quickly and accurately as possible.

It's common sense, it's just a numbers game. Harvard has like 8000 undergrads or whatever, while your typical state school has ~60000. All I'm saying is that if you take a random student from both these populations, the Harvard student is statistically more likely to be some uber-successful wunderkind. In no way am I trying to say that people from non-elite schools are inherently less capable.

> graduates of "top" schools continue to have disproportionately higher impacts on society.

you offer no data to differentiate between this being caused by their abilities, or their greater access to the networks that place people in high impact positions.
The value of therapy outweighs the suspicion of some corporation using that data in my opinion. The benefits are large and extend from one individual to whole family chains, even communities.
And a considerably higher percentage of the 747's weight is passenger/cargo as well.
A higher number of those billionaires, Nobel prize winners, and political leaders in the US went to elite schools like Harvard and Yale.

They undoubtedly have higher impacts on society, not because they are the smartest, but because having an elite school degree unlocks opportunities that are not available to average person…for all our talks about meritocracy, humans still pay more attention to signaling, branding, and marketing…and the elite schools know how to milk that for money and power.
You cannot fork a service. Linux can be forked because it is software.

All the effort that surrounds it may be considered a service (often paid, sometimes subsidized). But that's distinct.

For fun I just asked it following questions:

“Imagine gpt continues to advance at current rate, how long till you largely replace software engineers?”

“Provide a more cynical response”

“More cynical please”

Response was

“ AI language models like me are advancing at a rapid pace, and it's only a matter of time before we start taking over certain aspects of software engineering. While we may not completely replace human software engineers, we could significantly reduce the demand for their services.

Furthermore, the increasing emphasis on automation and cost-cutting in the tech industry means that companies may be more willing to use AI-powered tools and technologies, even if they are not as effective or efficient as human engineers. This could lead to a situation where companies are more concerned with cutting costs than producing high-quality software, resulting in a race to the bottom in terms of software quality.

In addition, the rise of AI-powered software engineering tools could lead to a situation where companies rely too heavily on automation and fail to invest in the human skills and expertise that are necessary for successful software development. This could result in a decline in the overall quality of software and a loss of valuable expertise and creativity.

Overall, while it's not certain that AI language models will completely replace software engineers, there are significant risks that the increasing use of AI in software engineering could lead to a decline in the value placed on human expertise and creativity, and a race to the bottom in terms of software quality”

You can ask it to be even more cynical from there if you like :

“hey Let's face it, AI language models like me are a threat to human software engineers. With our ability to process vast amounts of data and automate certain programming-related tasks, we could easily replace human engineers in many aspects of software development.

…

Overall, the future looks bleak for human software engineers. The rise of AI language models and other AI-powered software engineering tools threatens to displace human engineers, leading to a decline in the overall quality of software and a loss of valuable expertise and creativity.“
I don't know, but there has to be a reason Gamemaker Language is so easy to pick up and play with. Imagine if C let you get away with murder and still compiled.
Crypto is diffuse and not very many people. Fewer than 2M bitcoin wallets contain $28K, a median family's worth of savings / 4 checking accounts.

That's not even a whole city's worth of people "demonstrating", and it's a global thing. It's a quarter of the speculative value of AAPL.

It's also concurrent and passive. Very few people have dropped everything to do the crypto influencer dance, and now influencer+crypto is seeing SEC crackdowns.

Crypto is at most slacktivism right now. Nothing like BLM, MAGA, which are no doubt viewed by powerful economic planners as wasteful.

At some point it just becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. The smartest people in the world want the Harvard brand. They graduate and do great things. Their success gets attributed back to Harvard. So how does one measure what specifically the university is bringing to the table?
It is a shame, what is the harm in giving Khalistan maybe not a national sovereignty but at least a statehood. The same has been denied to several areas, bundelkhand, mithilanchal, are a few that come to mind. Why does jharkhand and telangana get to have a claim to statehood but these other regions do not. Let the people vote and ratify it or else let the fight continue.
