Do you believe it can happen? The revolution in compensation. Because as much as I’d love to see it happen, I’m very pessimistic.

Because it’s more likely that a small minority will just try to fuck everybody else for their profit because that’s just human nature unfortunately.
> I'm not going to argue against some benefits' crypto can have. Especially with the under banked.

The under-banked don't have bank accounts because they don't have money. Nobody with money has trouble accessing a bank account. There's tons of online-only bank accounts you can open, often with no fees and zero or limited minimum balance requirements. Ally or Schwab in the US. Internationally, there's Wise, and all sorts of regional options like M-Pesa in a number of African countries. Historically we've had postal banking.

The problem is a social one, for congress to solve.

It's akin to saying people are hungry because they don't have grocery bags. The issue isn't the lack of bag, it's lack of food to put into it.
Reciprocity differs culturally. My Japanese family get very uncomfortable if they receive gifts without having any prepared in return, and there's a sense of stress and urgency that doesn't let up until they've repaid. It's not negatively reciprocal, but it is immediately generalized.

Most of my American family uses delayed reciprocity. Gifts are gifts, totally unidirectional, and no one keeps a tally. Some people only receive kindness and rarely "pay out". The price of having family close is expecting that and making sure people are comfortable with being hosted. There's often a little pressure to offer to pay depending on the expense, whether by thanks, gifts, or cash. Some of them, however, only give things or do things for others so they can ask for something in return. They're not gifts as much as leashes.

Our Middle Eastern family are perpetual hosts. Not allowing them to host and treat you is akin to walking out on a tab in the US or trying to pay for something for a Japanese person. Even thinking about paying them back might actually be considered haram.

We have some older first-generation Filipino family friends who invited us to a home cooked dinner at their house... and then handed us a bill at the end of the meal. We were very confused until their children apologetically explained that it's customary to chip in for being hosted.

Weird is, of course, relative, but in places with extreme wealth inequality like the US, there can be tension between people who don't share either a mutual understanding of expectation or a way to reciprocate an expense. Nothing feels worse than accepting what you believed to be a gift and having the other person bring up how much it cost them or how much they've done for you for the rest of your life.
My Views on “Doom”
Well I didn't claim that memory exploits were not used. They're just rarely used when compromising end user workstations these days. 10 years ago you had rampant exploit kits for example none these days. You still see memory exploitation if internet facing stuff or even internal devices for lateral movement.

The comment you were replying to is talking about the majority if compromises. Citing your case stats to argue against that is a bit weird.
> Siri fails to understand the name of the person I want to call

After too many frustrated attempts, I found a crude fix for people I call frequently - use the shortcuts app to set a single word to trigger that specific call. Use words that are hard to misunderstand, like "newspaper" or "fantastic". Silly hack but so far it's been working flawlessly.
Personally, I'm looking for alternatives because it's just janky on a Mac.

It gets weird and starts hanging on pulls and building because it can't grab metadata. The GUI is also just laggy. (Frustrating when I know electron apps can be fast)
It seems they may be at an inflection point where they should move away from x86 and create the next big thing. Pretty much what Grove describes in his book.
I would say this is more analogous to a debit card
So the equivalent of std::move will also make sure to "null" the original object at the same time?
Are Clojure dev teams outside of Nubank currently using REBL excited about this?

As a small project Clojure dev (and admittedly a couple years out of daily Clojure use), these types of projects are hard for me to place in a day-to-day work context. The doc says that Morse is one tool that can "amplify the power of the programmer during interactive development".

I totally feel like Clojure REPL-based dev is better for me personally - the interactive feedback feels so natural and functional programming matches so well my preferred dev process. But it is more difficult for me to understand where this type of tooling fits in dev workflow. Is Morse an incremental improvement? Does it make more sense in significant Clojure dev shops with many programmers vs just me sitting around with an Emacs repl going?
you say this as if it is trivial. for example, optimization of the lagrangian function is a recurring theme in physics and is pretty much a model of physical causation. once you have the lagrangian you pretty much have the domain knowledge. if you can come up with an ssl that discovers relevant lagrangians from observing the real world, that would be HUGE. however nfl might still stand in your way ;)
Try it and see :)

I didn't find the syntax very ergonomic but then I'm the kinda guy that likes Python because it's so loose
I really like how you put it. Good thought! But I don't quite agree that entropy is a criteria of originality. Because originality is not ranodmness, it's... distinctiveness.
Sure, but we can’t meet everyone’s nutritional needs by cooking raw ingredients at home. We need these solutions, if you can afford alternatives then go for it. But we should be promoting all solutions .
All roads lead to Smalltalk.
You can use Sendgrid as a SMTP relay host. You can even buy reserved IP addresses for that to segment your traffic.
A "new s3 bucket to download something on the internet" is way too broad of a need. What sort of thing, and how do they need to download it? Solutions could vary as much as setting up Cloudfront for static data, or an API that vends out presigned s3 links. I'm partial to the presigned links, as you can time limit them and don't necessarily have to shuffle things around on where the data is stored. (A moot point for fully dynamic content stored in a database, of course. That has to be shuffled to a shape for the customer.)

That all said, being a Microsoft shop is a huge elephant that probably shouldn't be ignored.
> Wish Hacker News wasn’t so curmudgeonly about crypto and actually tried to imagine the multitude of ways it would improve society if adopted.

Is it curmudgeonly to be uninterested in searching for problems for an overhyped solution than is sadly lacking in them? Well, fine, then I’m happy to be a curmudgeon.
I said nothing about the windows kernel. I honestly don't care. It's not what the end-user uses. It's the UI and the graphics stack etc that matters for gamers and other users of Windows.

Package that UI and those libraries into the windows experience desktop for Linux and call it a day.

---

If they open sourced windows that'd be good, too! Hackers could then remove all the garbage like telemtry, ads, etc., and it'd be dope as well. They could hack the UI to be even more tiling friendly. It'd be amazing.

This is my point illustrated. I can't decide if I should upvote you for helping me prove it. There are no magical beliefs and from a certain point of view the only authority is one's peace of mind.

Obviously your thinking is why to sophisticated for thoughts on human existence evolved over thousands of years.

The only people I see in prisoned by their minds have closed minds. They also like to insist others conform to their narrow view.
That isn't my in-laws. That is the way my mother feels about me and my family.

There's a video. It would appear there is an app on your phone which contains public wallet information, but then this NFC card contains your wallet private key. The card is encrypted with a short pin code. If you want to make a tx you have to use phone app and tap card to phone to sign the tx (after typing in the PIN to decrypt key)

Coincidentally, I made the biggest value purchase I have ever made online (from an ecommerce store) yesterday on Amazon.in

I was in the market for a 43" TV. Needed a Samsung. I checked two reputed local electronics stores (from where I have made purchases earlier; including the store where I bought my current Samsung 32" TV I was replacing after 13+ years).

Both stores quoted a price over the phone. The store I bought my 32" TV came in INR 700 (around $9 USD) lower. This was a 43" Full HD TV.

I then checked amazon.in website. They offered a Samsung 43" UHD TV (i.e., better resolution) at a price that was INR 100 lower than the best price I got from the physical stores. (It was a Limited Time deal, but one that met my requirement).

The product was Fulfilled by Amazon and Prime delivery eligible. I got the TV delivered this morning and Samsung is sending their tech for installation tomorrow. (Amazon handles this seamlessly -- they do for a lot of partner brands).

I would say they met my expectation (on delivery). I'll update after installation by Samsung.

My summary of Amazon (India) experience:

- They are great if you know exactly what you want

- The Prime eligible products Fulfilled by Amazon are good

- I have even returned some products before and so far, that experience has been exemplary. I have no complaints.

I generally avoid other marketplace sellers on Amazon.

I'm honestly a little surprised at how little backlash Netflix has gotten for this. They seem to be doing great despite treating their users like poop. Then again, the competition isn't that much better either.
Maybe it's because most of those people have actually sincerely thought about it but saw cryptocurrencies to be a worse solution than the current ones? Most cryptocurrencies are fiat currencies (just not derived from government trust) after all, and most currency problems stems from those questions of trust (so let's assume that everyone adopts one: it won't solve any societal problem).
I’m all for farm to table but both NY and LA don’t need farms within city limits.

All you’re saving by forcing that is a few hours of driving in a truck. If there’s an emissions concern then most farming regions are also good places for renewables like solar and wind. Electric or other carbon neutral vehicles seem like a more reasonable solution. Just a short trip outside of a city can probably get enough land for a large greenhouse if you want higher density farming with existing ag-tech and shorter transport.
Search engines can be used by anything, not just end users. And ChatGPT can be used by end users. So I don't see that much of a difference.

If I build and maintain chains of Google's APIs calls to develop an application that performs X, Y, and Z then I would say that I'm an "application developer", not a "Google API engineer". I mean I assume there is going to more to the application than just a pile of API calls.

So maybe a good name for this course would be "Building applications using Large Language Models", which is actually how the course is described in the intro.
https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-search.php?f=1&prod... finds quite a few: double free, array out of bounds, buffer overflows in the stack and the heap…

There's also a format string vulnerability that wouldn't exist in Rust and which C turns into privilege escalation instead of aborting.
It's a very nice, UI. The "viewing port" concept is very nice. A slider for timescale in the viewing window would be great!
Also would be great to see worldwide cities tides :)

For extra irony, sometimes those drivers are in EVs that also pay no emissions tax.

The Cthulhu reference is funny because the common Asian name for this fruit is Buddha’s Hand.
well for one it'd be free. You'd get the windows experience without having to pay a license.

It'd be based on a userland and kernel that is open source.

And the UI would be hackable (if it were opened up).

Those 3 reasons are huge imo
I'm a credit card point junkie so I always volunteer to pay the bill at dinner or drinks. But, if everyone doesn't get roughly the same thing, it becomes a massive headache. I got fed up with having to manually tally up what everyone ordered and then hunting them down individually to get paid back.

Surprisingly, I haven't found a good tool that addresses this, so I spun up my own. I didn't want to force my friends to download another app just so I can get paid back so I tried to make it mostly SMS based.

You text a picture of the receipt to my Twilio phone number. It triggers a serverless function that runs AWS Textract to itemize the receipt, then stores it in a database. Twilio responds with the unique URL for the receipt and I can text that out to my friends so they can claim their own damn items.

Win win, I get the points AND I finally get paid back.
Sorry, but can we just stop repeating the wildly unevidenced claims of the gullible and frauds?

Who are the 'underbanked' ? What are their needs? What are the current solutions?

There is nothing "there" in crypto. It's a scam. Go and obtain every textbook you can on amazon about blockchains, bitcoin, crypto systems etc. and investigate their authors.

I've just done that: they're all part of various crypto schemes. They all make these insane claims in passing. NONE provide any evidence, any argument, anything at all.

None provide an analysis of the current systems in question, the various alternatives, and so on -- none show that blockchain is even minimally relevant to solving ANY problem.

This is a profoundly manipulated market: all the numbers are fake, all the ideas are fake, all the people are fake.
OK but can they also put an option for a circa 2000 google search that doesn't give a full page of sponsored ad results for what google thought I meant to search for?
I am absolutely LOVING Volumio. It's running in a VM in my garage computer that does various other things. At the time, Volumio didn't have a clean way to do this so I just hacked away until it booted and played music.

A little USB sound card is passed through to the VM and it's been rock solid for about 2 years now. I use it exclusively as a Spotify chromecast type thing that cost me about $3.50 in parts.
But can’t I simply clone the signal that the chip emits using flipper or something similar?
I said "I" as in myself who is neither of those things.

I also said the following because of in part the point you are trying to make:

> I am not saying the security improvements are not real
I'll bite: What are some of the multitude of ways that cryptocurrency can improve society if adopted?
Intel and Google share surprisingly similar problems: an almost pathological inability to grow lines of business with new products because they kill them off too early. In Intel's case, it's even worse, they kill them off right before the market would have made them successful. They should own the "things with semiconductors" market, but instead financially engineered their way to focus only on higher profit core chip business which was good for the short term but has proved to be a festering cancer over the long.

Because of this approach they divested out of the memory business -- which has kept them out of the growing solid state business, screwed around with Optane, lost their modem business, have lost the GPU business at least once (who knows if they'll keep doing the ARC GPUs so maybe it'll increment up again), ARM chips, and numerous other bits and pieces over the years. Now they're losing their core business too and have nothing else to really grow and focus on.

Each of these is a multi-billion dollar market with core providers who dominate the market: Samsung, Broadcom, Nvidia, etc.

Now they're going to start selling off the bones of their business to compete with TSMC, a company with actual focus.

Once that goes away, what? Intel will contract TSMC to make their chips? I can see a financially focused MBA-type executive team seeing that as a way to eliminate expensive Fab R&D, construction and OEM liabilities -- put it on somebody else to deal with that!
Not the same, BTC can't be created / devalued at will.
Experience has shown a couple of things:

1. These offers are not for your lifetime, but for the lifetime of the company, which may not be that long.

2. If the company does live a long time and becomes successful, it often reneges on these lifetime offers.

This is interesting, though ultimately the private key is ostensibly only protected by a pin code of a few digits. At the end of the day that might be ok since no one would reasonably carry a large amount of cash in their wallet. Perhaps one would only load small amounts to their corresponding BTC wallet for the card.
Your original comment implied much more.

Ha! The Final Sacrifice is on tonight. That's one of the very best MST3K episodes.

I would love to do something like this for my kids. They're constantly begging to watch Youtube, which I limit pretty heavily. Something like this could allow me to stick some pre-approved videos into a queue, and maybe even make an allowance for a half-hour of some of the ... dumber stuff that they like at a certain time of the day. I could also slip in some Kurzgesagt, Mark Rober, content that they may not otherwise be that interested in to surreptitiously educate them ;)
Should custom USB drivers like this be contributed to the kernel? I wanted to send mine upstream but reading the source code I got the impression user space drivers are preferred. Would appreciate some guidance.

I like thinking out loud, but don't like having to listen to voice memos. So I created a syncthing folder that is synced between my phones and my home server, and created an iphone shortcut that records voice memos and saves them into that folder (and then opens the iphone syncthing app so that it'll do the sync). I have a cronjob on the server that looks for new audio files in that syncthing folder and transcribes them with whisper, formats them into a nice looking pdf, and sends them to the printer. So now I can be anywhere, record a voice memo, and come home to find it sitting in my printer.
It's worth noting that the root concept of the Martian word "grok" is to eat, to digest (and thereby become one.)
You can get a view into what Rust looks like with fallible allocation in Rust for Linux, since Linus required this. So e.g. Rust for Linux's Vec only has try_push() and you'd better have successfully try_reserve'd enough space to push into or it may fail.

https://rust-for-linux.github.io/docs/alloc/vec/struct.Vec.h...

NB The prose for Vec here, including examples, is copied from the "real" Vec in Rust's standard library, so it talks about features like push but those are not actually provided in Rust for Linux.
I think normal people (ie non-developers) are less concerned about the performance, as the battery life and the need to almost never need a fan (and keep it on your lap comfortably).

You can commonly find Macbook Airs at $800, and I doubt many are buying sub-$400 laptops, unless they are going with low-end Chromebooks, in which the Chromebook vs Windows is a reverse spin on whether consumers are overpaying vs what they really need.

Dropping from 95% to 57%, I don't think it's unreasonable that a time will come when Windows no longer has a majority.
I'm assuming based on the demo video that the private key is encrypted via the "CVC" code. Not great security but enough that someone would need at least a little while to brute force. Perhaps a solution where you only load a little cash onto it
