There may well be the occasional service that drops 100x in price, but that would apply only to a small fraction of GDP. Most goods and services are already pretty well optimized. Amdahl's law applies and means that claims of rapid order of magnitude GDP growth are completely ridiculous.

Disruption is likely, yes, but we're talking about different orders of magnitude here.

And GP has a point. AI affects the supply side of the economy, but sustained development depends on the demand side. Given the overall political climate, the effect of AI on the demand side is far from clear.

That's not what dark pools are at all, please educate yourself before saying something this inaccurate.

> custodian, trading exchange, market maker, and Kyc/Aml

Custodians are people who hold on to funds and securities. If a mutual fund buys a share of Apple, they don't hold the share themselves, it's held by a custodian bank like BNY.

> trading exchange

NYSE/NASDAQ/CBOE/etc are examples of exchanges, where they match up buy orders and sell orders, and nothing more. Dark pools are examples of exchanges, as they are a private place that match up buy/sell orders.

> market maker

Market makers are, as their name suggests, institutions that exist to make markets. What this often means is that they have the obligation to maintain both buy and sell orders on specific securities they signed up to make markets for at all times. Examples include Jane Street, Citadel, etc.

> kyc/aml

GP probably mistyped; kyc/aml are regulations that must be followed by financial firms interacting with their customers. Applies to basically everybody here.

A few more:

Clearinghouses: when you trade a security on an exchange, you mere commit to buying x for $y at $settlement date, typically 2 business days after the trade happens. This settlement happens at a clearinghouse, which guarantees both sides of the trade.

The objection from most regulators is that a crypto exchange typically acts as all of the above simultaneously. They are custodians, in that they hold the crypto, they typically make markets, they are obviously an exchange, they provide clearing and settlement services, all at once. Regulators don't like this, since there are conflicts of interest inherent in the roles and they should be separated out into different institutions.

There are few factors why PHP popularity is decreasing, not because it is really bad. But very often other languages build its popularity on promoting how "bad" is PHP.

I feel like Coinbase would use this info to argue against being truly monopolistic of some or all of those markers.

I am definitely certain that Coinbase (specifically Paul Grewal, their head lawyer, and, previously, Alex Marx, former head of risk) have prepared for similar claims to be made. They have an extensive roadmap of expected legal challenges and their plans to ameliorate any damage done to their business model. I’m confident their goal is dismantle any claim that they have monopolistic control of a customer’s crypto once purchased.
“Reasonable”
That’s literally one of the main jobs of lawyers because there’s a shit ton of law that’s not clearly defined and based on obscure precedents or never been tried in a court.

Heck half of the court system from Appellate to the Supreme court is to figure out what is and isn’t legal. Most government agencies won’t tell you if something is legal or illegal because they don’t know unless there clear case law on the subject, in which case your attorney should know, and they’d spend all day guessing.

If Coinbase wants clarity then take it to court and run it up the flagpole.
> VR is a trivial idea that pretty much everyone has thought about at some point.

I agree, but to be fair, grandiose misattributions are just how the field of philosophy works. Plato is commonly credited with the idea that humans have an immortal soul. I'm 100% sure that idea is tens of thousands of years old, and when I hear academics attribute it to him, I immediately discard everything else that comes out of their mouths because such claims just demonstrate a complete lack of critical thinking.

> they shouldn't buy NUMA either (or turn it off in the case of Epyc). These optimizations are a waste of time when the alternative is to buy hardware that simply doesn't require them.

Turning off NUMA reporting doesn't make NUMA go away. Whether you can buy hardware that doesn't need this kind of optimization really depends on your needs and budget. The 7900X3D and 7950X3D don't have a very large niche, IMHO; but if you were thinking of a 7900X for a VM system, and you have some loads that would benefit with more cache and some that wouldn't, it could make sense. Depending on your needs, you might be better served with a 7950X or maybe two 7800X3D systems or ??? there's lots of options. I think if you're going with Epyc, you're needing or wanting lots of cores, lots of memory channels/capacity, and/or lots of pci-e; if you need that in a single machine, you're just going to have to deal with the fallout of NUMA that results, because it's not like you have a choice. Sure, if you can manage to split up your load into multiple small UMA machines, that'll be easier to manage, but then you do have to manage more machines and balancing at different levels. It's all tradeoffs.
"From my perspective, the point of all these "PHP is broken" rants is not just to complain, but to help educate and potentially warn off new coders starting new codebases. Some fine, even historic work has been done in PHP despite the madness, unquestionably. But now we need to work together to fix what is broken. The best way to fix the PHP problem at this point is to make the alternatives so outstanding that the choice of the better hammer becomes obvious." -Jeff Atwood

After the devastating bushfires in Eastern Australia in the summer of 2019/20 I started sketching ideas of a robot to that do that. My idea is that would identify fuel that could be ameliorated (possibly harvesting and burning in the machine, or mulching and burying). If it was solar powered it could possibly just plod along. That said I think more controlled burns such as were practised by our indigenous people seems to be the most practical.

This happens to touch upon a pain I keep getting with Steam. Games like squad keep getting tiny patches (compared to the whole game size), which is great, until you see that steam needs to read and write the whole file again to finish the patch. It's not as simple as their "dumb allocation wearing out SSD" problem either -- there's no API to do this anywhere unlike the common posix_fallocate(). Linux FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE comes close, but no studio will tend their files so they make exact filesystem block-sized units.

There has always been a place for a certain amount of such posts on HN, going all the way back to the beginning. It has always been fine as part of the mix and I don't see why it should be restricted to one religion or culture.

If people start posting too many of them, we'll downweight them the same way we would any other repetitive pattern—not because we have any problem with their particular topic but because repetition quickly becomes tedious. (And users would flag them increasingly heavily in any case.)
"Neutral" language isn't even necessarily unbiased. "Leader of Nazi Germany Adolf Hitler committed horrible and evil actions" isn't "neutral" but it is a statement of clear objective fact.

It's the same reason why passive voice writing such as "police-involved shooting" are problematic and biased.

Perfectly? Oh really? Have you tried actually reading the code you're copying and pasting from ChatGPT into production? Are you actually letting it do all your architectural design and security auditing for you, too?

If ChatGPT is already perfectly solving all of your programming problems, then you should learn a lot more about programing, design, architecture, and security, so you can take on more challenging projects, and actually design decent APIs and architectures, instead of just paint-by-number monkey coding, and produce better more thoughtful designs and code than an LLM, because your job is already obsolete.

On one hand, yes, Ethereum is obviously a security, it raised money from investors to make a thing, and investors expected to get rich off it.

On the other hand, Ethereum is currently regulated as a commodity by the CFTC.

If he says Ethereum is a security, then there's a political mess.

If he says Ethereum is a commodity, then it breaks down the SEC's case for all the crypto projects out there that's basically stock IPOs but with a thin crypto layer on top.

I would not impute his credentials, he was a partner at Goldman Sachs and was chair of CFTC under Obama. He was involved in crafting a great deal of policy after 08 around the new regulations for financial institutions. He's not stupid, he's clearly a better person for the job than most of the people here on HN.

> Modern php code uses Frameworks, Package mangers, opcode caching, and application servers.

How do these change the way you can deploy PHP files by simply uploading them?

For frameworks, all you do is run a single command to install.

If you mean JS package managers, that's agnostic to what language you use.

Opcode caching doesn't require anything special from deployment point of view and I don't see a need for app server for PHP.

Seriously, plenty of other countries have avoided the opioid/fentanyl problem without the death penalty. Doesn’t that imply there’s something different? Perhaps extreme lobbying by opioid manufacturers for doctors to overprescribe them and turning the other way to pill mills? Given the opioid epidemic was driven by legal opioids and the black market grew to supply people who could no longer afford the legal supply, I think that suggests Singapore’s death penalty policy has nothing to do here.

Moreover, I suspect like all places, Singaporians don’t have that much difficulty accessing illicit drugs. Do you think this 1kg represents the totality of the illicit drug trade in Singapore? Heck. If anything the death penalty should be the cause of record profits for black market drug distributors - where there’s more risk you can charge more money because there’s less competition willing to take that risk. That increases prices to a point but it’s not going to price it out of complete reach (otherwise you have no customers).

EcoHabit: An Open Source Project for Environmental Awareness (Earth Day Special)
In light of Earth Day, I wanted to share an open-source web app called EcoHabit (ecohabit.org) that promotes environmental awareness and eco-friendly habits. The project aims to help users track their recycling activities, find local recycling centers, and make informed decisions to preserve our planet.

EcoHabit is built using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js), providing a great opportunity for developers to learn and contribute to a meaningful cause.

Key aspects of EcoHabit:
1. Encourages collaboration among a passionate community of developers.
2. Offers a chance to enhance your skillset with the MERN stack and open-source practices.
3. Makes a tangible impact on the environment by promoting sustainability.

You can check out the GitHub repository here: https://github.com/lugenx/ecohabit

The project's README file on GitHub also contains a link to their Discord server if you're interested in connecting with the team. It's a great example of how the tech community can come together to create lasting change for the environment.
... perhaps, but the "embodied Turing test" has already become the typical term to describe the new goal post in most ML papers - meaning that (since the usual Turing test was already completed and surpassed by large amounts several years ago) the new goal is to be able to have a system that given the choice between a real human in front of them, and a humanoid robot that looks like a human in front of them (think Westworld), humans are incapable of determining which is which (using proper statistics).

This terminology is becoming widely used by prominent AI researchers at e.g. Deepmind (Botvinick et al), Stanford (Finn et al), MIT, Northeastern, Meta, etc. as we have to switch to a new goal in lieu of the new advancements that have been coming up in that past few years. Importantly, this shift has been happening behind the scenes independent of this 'OpenAI' craze, although it's obviously made a select portion of the advancements made accessible by the public. There is much more going on than just the GPT series that few people are engaging with, but much is hidden in the literature.

To your point - it's of course extremely strange to conceive of - but while the quirks of human forms may be a useful tool at the moment, there isn't anything necessarily fundamental that requires it for long term.
I sometimes wish I could go back. I was never a designer in a pure sense, but I enjoyed a few roles of web development that had me doing both design, UX, business development ideation and the actual coding. Back when the lines between roles were blurrier, and especially when I was running a few SaaS side projects. Now I specialize in web applications and in specializing I gave up those hats.

I am getting a few more hats back while building a little game though. There is so much going on in a game, bigger games are probably the most complex pieces of software I have encountered and it's amazing any AAA titles get released at all.
