The problem in this specific space is that many people don't want their payments to a NSFW company to be associated with them. Most blockchains makes this trivially traceable by design.

The ones that don't (eg Tornado cash) end up being used for money laundering so on/off ramps won't touch them. We'll see what happens with the ZK-based chains, but this seems a systematic problem that is difficult to fix.

The hysteria about sex education is going on in my country as we speak. The public debate is also influenced by Russian propaganda and the church who is pushing for religion as a final exam subject. They'd rather teach kids mumbojumbo instead of basic hygene and how to not get pregnant in your teens.
Played back in 2011. I miss the “Suddenly Ninjas” days - glad to hear stories like this are still happening. We used to roll new accounts, prep a small history, sometimes even a social media presence.

Join a corporation. Role play as a newbie. Learn their schedule. A long while later, rank up in the “inventory” management roles and fly or bump ships out of the bubble to waiting “real” corp members.

That’s a pretty small view of “tech”. Development of repeatable agricultural practices for predictable yield is absolutely a technological accomplishment (and not just because there were machines involved)
I'm a diehard vimmer using Emacs (Evil-mode), and I can say the same thing. I'm very impressed with the changes in Neovim over the past few years.
In my city they are massively increasing the bike lane network, along with the city run bike service. The result is that bike ridership has been increasing steadily with each passing year.

I absolutely expect more people to be riding bicycles in this generation. It would be a complete failure on urban planners / municipal governments if that were not to happen.
I would note, a bit late on the thread, the nightmare was mostly marketing on the anti mental health front stemming from a Nixon-Reagan continuum in the conservative movement of the time. My father is a phd clinical psychology and spent his early career doing fellowships and residencies in various public inpatient hospitals for the deeply disturbed (the folks you see on the street now). They were not like you believe, by in large, and the people who work in those environments largely work there out of human compassion, not avarice. My great grandmother worked as nurse in a Wild West sanitarium - now that was a different story.

If you dig into news about current inpatient care for the mentally ill, I think you’ll see something white washed but not too dissimilar to the past sanitariums. Heavily medicated patients confined to close quarters without much supervision and that that exists is unskilled providers, with 30 minutes or less of professional care a week. Patients frequently assault each other and because they’re often placed their by the police for criminally insane behavior there’s no recourse or different place to move them to just an upgrade to their charges. Sexual assaults are rampant by staff and patients. It’s barbaric, but even then, there aren’t enough beds so people in crisis have to wait months getting limited care through outpatient if they have find a psychiatrist with an opening- most don’t take insurance, and even then it can be a six month wait.

> Scheduling is one of those things that sounds great on paper. What do you think are the chances of people who do not own EV's having any interest in being regulated to help people buying $50K to $120K cars? Less than zero.

With proper incentives a lot. The grid has more than enough capacity for the needed watt hours needed in any given day, so if we can get people to cool their homes down more during lulls in usage, and charge their cars during those periods too it would take a lot of slack, ACs are likely a much bigger hit to most grids in the southwest over the next several decades than EVs will be. With well regulated (see not Texas) demand pricing it shouldn't be hard to convince people to do a couple times a year changes to their thermostats & enable settings on their EVSEs or EV to lower usage during peak.

Your argument mostly boils down to "what if everyone stopped to fill up gas at the same time, there's not enough pumps, we can't support ICE vehicles".

Also sorry if I came off as dick-ish, I don't disagree that we should be expanding energy production as fast & cleanly as we can, but I think we as a society are much to unwilling to take the slightest inconvenience, and it feels like with scheduling too many people are at the position of "we've tried the absolute minimum and it didn't solve it, it's doing more isn't going to work."

The article you linked is full of inaccuracies

> Most modern scholars believe he was most likely born sometime around 480 BC or thereabouts in Śākya Gaṇarājya, an oligarchic state in the northern Indian subcontinent and he most likely died sometime around 400 BC or thereabouts.

Siddhartha Gautama was born in present day Nepal, in the city of Kapilvastu in the Lumbini region. There are archaeological remains of the palace where he was born along with scriptures explicitly matching the origins and design.

The article also goes to great lengths to emphasize a lot of details are nebulous, however they are documented well since the Buddha was a royal prince. For that reason not sure where the idea that the depiction of Chinese Buddha should be accurate is insinuated either.

"Price gouging" is only legal when a contract is formed. A contract requires well defined consideration, as well as a meeting of the minds - neither is present when a person is not told an up front price (especially after asking), and is under medical duress.
You brought up the weird diversion with strange non-facts about tilting. I merely mentioned (and sourced) that it is now the cheapest source of energy pretty much world-wide. It was just a bizarre misreading of other people's work as what you just posted. This absolute certainty combined with rank ignorance is known as the Dunning Kruger effect. You should look it up (but please refrain from reading half of the wiki article and then lecturing others on some bizarre misinterpretation of it).

The choice to go on a tangent where you ranted about the improvement of a smart tilting algorithm being 1% was yours.

Also I'm not arguing against the tesla master plan. It's founded on the assumption of roughly doubling final energy in the US rather than putting any effort into efficiency (such as by spending one of those trillions on transit, insulation and missing middle housing), but this is to be expected from a car and battery company asking for handouts. It also has a few slightly pessimistic generalisations and assumes the regulatory hurdles for solar will stay, but the inflation driven costs for wind will not. But over all it is fine, and is a broad overview related to reality.

It does not anywhere contain the conclusion that a country can be run on land based wind energy alone, nor does it say anything about solar (which is the current US mix that has a high share of single axis) costing more in O&M.

Nor does it contain the assumption that one power source can be subbed for another without taking into account *when* each power source produces. You cannot substitute them one for one. And you cannot assume transmission is unbouded and free.

You made all of that up and then proceded to try and use other people's words as an argument from authority.

Nobody anywhere is suggesting an all wind grid. It would be incredibly brittle.

Similarly nobody is suggesting an all solar one.

I guess this bizarre rant isn't harmful like the nuclear one though, so I'll leave you to keep raving,

Wrong. Google made 181.69 billion in 2020, 256.74B in 2021 [1] and 283B in 2022 [2]. A 10% YoY increase [2] is better than most of the years they have been public. They possibly made more money in last 2.5 years than all the years they have been public combined.

An Underappreciated Genious
Accounts have character slots and when you join a corp, you are often required to provide an api key to show all chars on this account.

Chars have public history of corp membership or pvp fights etc.

So if you roll a char in an acct with other bigger chars, it will come known that you’re a fraud, not a newbie, or you also play as a character that has “interesting” history.

So you spend a few more bucks a month and create a fresh entire account with new slots, etc.

It looks like they took a profiler to the training process of today's largest AI models.

Firstly it'll be a universal low level software layer, that can run on top of any cloud hardware, which can then be developed against to enable maximal cloud reach when training models.

This sort of virtualisation might be considered slower than direct access, but they've also created a DSL on top of python, which looks to enable the compiler to make smarter decisions about how to allocate memory and compute during training. So both together presumably producing a speedup worthy of the hype.

Kudos to them if they deliver on their promise.
Map explicitly says what it does. A loop forces you to carefully (re)read it to see whether it ever skips an element, appends more than one result, or doesn’t propagate an error, because findFirst, findLast, findAll, filter, map, flatMap, and reduce all look very similar as loops.

If you need a loop to work around a poor optimizer, at least use a preprocessor to generate it. Devs are expensive.
Yup. I used to be an avid road biker, 10-40mi rides multiple time per week, hopping on 80mi day trips, Tuesday evening time trials, racing, etc.

But it has been over a decade since my road bike has seen pavement. I keep it to mountain biking on trails now because the traffic everywhere has gotten too insane, and the drivers just seem less and less aware/alert/smart/skilled.

And I've noticed in the last few month bad news of almost a half dozen champion bike racers killed on roads, the most memorable one in Italy, and one in San Francisco last week. The risk just doesn't seem manageable anymore.

This is the opposite of the direction we should be going, but it is what we have.
It may not surprise you to learn that early Jesuits in Canada had ongoing debates and dialogues with Algonquian sachems and recorded some of the exchanges. And these works were widely circulated in Europe as the enlightenment was taking shape. There was an interesting thing happening there that’s a bit too complicated and nuanced to type out on my phone, but you can probably find more from here. There’s a good section in The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity about it.

If you ride your bike a lot, and some point the bearing races in the hubs will wear out and you'll need new hubs, same for the bottom bracket, the rims will either get ground down by the brakes or get a dent that requires them to be replaced, fenders will get bent and / or rust off, screws corrode, brake / shifter cables need to be replaced every few years...

Bikes that get ridden a lot are like the ship of Theseus...

Sam Altman's last scam
If asked a certain question, chatgpt quotes me and only me from a made up Wikipedia entry that I wrote in a hot minute over a bet with girlfriend circa 2007.

Wikipedia never deleted it for a couple years and even added to it because well, people.

It was written as a complete falsehood so I could win a 25 dollar bet with my current girlfriend.

As such it is an original work of fiction.

Since chatgpt is a for profit endeavor, I am going to assert my common law copyright against open AI and Microsoft until they rewrite the response to not reflect my and only my exact words as if it were fact.

To those of you whose code and art has been scanned for training I feel sorry for you.
I'm currently using htmx on my latest project to only change parts of the page that need changing. This is fine, but I am finding some weirdness happening in that design though. For example, if I load a portion with some JS in it, the consecutive times I load it, gives me "already declared variable" errors. I guess this is because the JS stuff is hoisted outside of the area it's called, so when it's recalled, it hasn't been removed with the previous request. My solution has been to use `var` but I guess this is not the best solution and something more fundamentally wrong.
Hah, good call. I'll tell it to do that better.
With the hiring manager? How they manage their team, how many people they manage, what does the team make-up look like, what does the day to day look like, how do they measure success, what are the traits they want someone in this position to have, is it easy to get time off, what challenges is the team facing, what are the opportunities for advancement, what's the worst thing about working there, or anything else that will help me understand both them and the team I'm coming in to. Also of course addressing any questions they have about me, since this is the person who will decide if they are offering me the job, and if they do and I accept, the person who will decide what I work on, have the most influence on raises, promotions etc.

Some of this is stuff that the actual engineers will give you a more accurate picture (ex what's the day to day like), but even for those things asking both the engineers and the manager and comparing them can give you an idea of how in touch the manager is with the realities of the team.

saml has annoyances, but it doesn't have so many annoyances that every customer needs to be a custom integration. the majority of users using saml are going to be coming from a handful of idps, typically adfs or google.
There's been a few examples of use cases said by others in this thread, and your financial settlement use case is a great one. Any time you need to move money around multiple parties based on a clear set of rules or criteria, blockchain could be useful. Insurance claims, international remittances, lending, to name a few. Anywhere a valuable process is still dominated by paper (and there are surprisingly many).

Generally, being able to program the management of money (i.e. if personA meets a certain criteria, send $X to personA) in a transparent system can be incredibly powerful.

> In the US outside of the game you couldn't do this even if you owned 100% of the corporation because it would be a violation of corporate law.

It has nothing to do with this whatsoever.

> Good recent note from the Harvard Law review here: https://harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-133/controller-confus...

This is a good note. As they point out: directors owe a duty of loyalty to the corporation and its stockholders, which requires that a director act in good faith and in the best interest of the corporation and stockholders, rather than in the director’s own interests or the interests of someone who the director is beholden to, controlled by, or otherwise dependent on.

Provided you can do this there is no legal problem.

There is no direct analogy for something an in-game thing like switching alliances, but in general courts give a large latitude to CEOs and boards to decide what is best for a company provided there is no conflict of interest.

So you wouldn't be able to sell all the assets and distribute the earnings to the CEO - but selling all the assets and distributing the earnings to all shareholders would probably be fine.

Germany is screwed too, they lost access to cheap Russian gas, the auto market is changing, car exports account for 40% of their GDP. Companies like Daimler, the Vag group or BMW should really begin to target the defence sector.
Providers are a full half of the problem! We live in a market economy, and it is doctors' responsibility to be able to answer straightforward questions about how much various treatments will cost, just as every other profession gives quotes and estimates. Pretending that money doesn't exist is doing a grave disservice to patients, for whom money most certainly is a concern.

In the short term, I know it's a tall ask for a provider to be able to tell a patient how much care from other providers might cost. But providers could certainly start by knowing the prices of services that they themselves perform. And if that's too hard because their billing departments have made it opaque with a whole slew of prices depending on who might be paying, then providers need to work on reforming their own houses before pointing fingers at the other half of the problem.
To have a labor market that demands people who can perceive abstract issues and interconnected system failures requires, in the first place, a prerequisite population that has the cognitive ability to conceive big picture models which include risk contemplation as a decisive factor in organizational success. These intelligent representatives will not be working for free without indoctrination projects like the lifelong instilling of patriotism. So, realistically, any executive officer who can meet the requirements for a demanding large scale management labor will be selective in what administration he serves. Leaving those unfortunate enterprises that can't satisfy natural requirements left to fend for themselves with whatever unsustainable capabilities they can acquire or start up with. All this is broad, globally occurring competition for talent, labor, and resources and it provides an explanation for why things are the way they are.

This comprehension on business management can lead to the conclusion that socialist visions will always have capitalist characteristics associated with their attempted executions. So it seems there's an extensive and influential capitalism that exists somewhere in the world, right now. The only way for socialist goals to prosper is to remove that wide-reaching capitalism.

So just educating people about risk might actually, ironically and funnily, be an unproductive decision and indicative of a much more interesting problem.
