> I haven't met many people/anyone who went from dismissing it as a joke to taking it very seriously.

frankly, then you very likely weren't a community participant during the early years. I don't think most people understand just how small and universally ridiculed, ignored and unknown Bitcoin was for the first couple of years.

> isn't "people not taking it seriously at first" one of the classic signs of disruptive innovation

I don't know who Clayten Christensen is, but that's a silly quote. Of course every new idea and technology that became successful started small, unnoticed etc, but it's pure survivorship bias to point only to the ones that made it. What about countless things that didn't? Taking seriously things no one else does is a not a particularly wise thing to do, 99.999% of the time there's good reason no one takes something seriously, and there is no real way for anyone to reliably identify the 0.001% of times you have something worthwhile.
In the lab one of the cool things is to take a 100 mL pyrex tall-form (Berzelius) beaker about half full of DI water and set it on top of a little slab of dry ice which is at the bottom of a small bowl.

Then pack some crushed dry ice around the beaker and the water starts to freeze quite quickly from the outside in.

When the frozen water is about 5mm thick, remove the beaker, pour out the liquid water and return the beaker to the dry ice nest until it's quite a bit colder.

The ice in the beaker continues to shrink and can then be removed from the beaker "mold" as a shot glass made of ice.

Caution: do not handle it with bare hands, nor consume any contents at this point until it is no longer very far below 0.

Best to allow these ice glasses to "warm up" to a comfortable temperature in an ordinary freezer before use.

It will then withstand pre-chilled liquor for a number of minutes after serving.
Hey if you want to wholeheartedly embrace a worldview so nihilistic it doesn't have an answer for why we should try and stop people from doing mass murder, go nuts.

> At it's [sic] origin, it promised enduring new forms of interconnected computing.

Have you read the Bitcoin whitepaper? You should, it’s not that long. This is not what was promised. We were promised a decentralized peer to peer currency with a fixed supply that couldn’t be inflated at the whims of a central bank. We got that. And we sort of also got “new forms of interconnected computing”. We now have new types of zero knowledge proofs which were designed for smart contract verification but are more generally useful. We have things like IPFS allowing you to store data in a decentralized way. There’s helium, a mesh network for IoT devices. We have ENS. Then of course we have an endless supply of sophisticated financial instruments which you probably wouldn’t be able to access otherwise.

Your position is easy to take because it’s sort of the “default” that an uninformed person would believe, and those people will side with you.

Paranoid bullshit, easily disproved by the fact of people serving very long prison sentences based on an abundance of evidence. These cases are generally not that hard to prosecute because offenders typically have a wildly distorted risk calculus and either incriminate themselves to someone they imagine shares their tastes, or because search warrants turn up a ton of physical evidence - sometimes quite literally: https://cbs12.com/news/local/child-pornography-arrest-paul-z...
Ah. The non-sequitur approach to debate. Charming.

If you can’t see the difference between allowing a plant to naturally spread and mass murder, I pray for those around you.
If you only use JS to collect statistics you are only collecting statistics about JS users. And that is not everyone. And I'm not just talking about weird nerds like myself that intentionally disable it but also the underserved billions of the world without the latest year's smartphone.

It's a fatal flaw in pretty much all modern web stats collection that makes it seem like JS and bleeding edge JS support are far more of the pie than they are. And any time it's brought up those same people say it's not worth actually collecting information about all hits, say, via the webserver logs, because it's small. But they never connect the dots...

The ROG Ally seems like a really nice piece of hardware. Having said that, I cannot possibly stress enough how bad of a time you will have if it breaks and you have to deal with an RMA / ASUS customer support.

You'd probably save yourself a lot of time and frustration by just throwing it in the trash and buying a new one or a Steam Deck if something goes wrong with it.
I thought bitcoin was cool when coins were just a cent. I can’t wait for them to get back to a realistic price so they can actually be used.

I would like a digital currency, but as long as dufuses are incentivized to hype coins to trick others into making them rich these coins aren’t actually useful.

I’m pro nuclear. But I think they’re choosing the lesser of two evils. (I agree with you that replacing derelict plants with modern ones drastically improves everyone’s safety, but I don’t think they’re arguing in bad faith.)
Largest problem with data is that it can be falsified. So if you look at jobs like on Glassdoor they are well under the going rate. This is what is used to supress the job market.

I don't think anyone is implying Google pays differently based on visa status. The implication is that Google would rather hire a foreign worker who is willing to accept lower wages as opposed hiring locally - and therefore put downward pressure on all employees wages.

There's no JVM when using GraalVM Native Images, it relies on a JVM during the compile step (well, specifically GraalVM), but produces native code similar to compiling C. There's no virtual machine running bytecode, just entirely native code. So the size of the executable will depend on how many features of the JVM you need compiled into your executable.

A pure java bytecode (bring-your-own-JVM) Hello World can be under 2KB pretty easily. Smaller than the equivalent C program. But of course, that's not including the size of your system JVM.

Digital art where royalties are "enforced" requires a dystopian DRM hellscape.

Digital "gold" is a meaningless term.

Retail without 3% going to Visa...instead some variable percent will go to transaction fees.
The value being completely unapparent & unappealing to the world sort of sells my prospective though, doesn't it?

Using block chain to store data or transact is incredibly costly & inefficient. Most of the systems surrounding those usages are an incredible obtuse pain in the ass, no fun at all. Most uses rely on one or more extremely intermediated centralized systems.

The whole thing seems bankrupt. There hasn't been a single notable use. The most well known use case so far beyond cryptocoins is crypto kitties.
"It’s risky to run all infrastructure on the exact same OS version"

Yeah, I worked on some of them, too. They were even in mapping. I had written one of the first, dynamic, 2D drawing libraries for JavaScript, long before Canvas2D, but it was hidden in proprietary consultoware.

The significance of Google Maps was that A) it had all the parts that we would recognize today as a JS single-page app, B) it had no alternative interface that people could opt to use instead (diluting the usage of that particular implementation versus the product as a whole), C) it had broad appeal and adoption, and D) it was significantly better than competitors specifically because of the "SPA-ness" of the app.

Google Maps had the features and penetration necessary to change the public perception at large of what could be done with browser-based apps.
It doesn't lack data, it lacks cultural. Nuances change rapidly AI would have to have data from these nuances and so AI is more fit as an assistant. You'd be surprised how we have to adapt to cultural changes when hiring. Things last year are no longer acceptable today.

eqResponse = append(eqResponse, createEQQueryResponse(rows, opErr))
} else {

It is too early to regulate.

Let them first enforce existing regulation around the blatant unauthorized use of data (such as the creative output of artists, programmers etc.,) without explicit consent. For example, just like how the US Library of Congress receives a copy of each print publication for archival and reference purposes, Congress can enable the archival / storage of datasets for the purposes of AI research. Willing participants can deposit copies of their data sets (or URLs to source) and it would do more for AI research as a public good. The licensing terms could protect the rights of those who own copyrights on the datasets. There can even be commercial licenses enabled (already happens for legal documents such as court judgments ets.,).

If US Congress regulates too soon to constrain rather than enable, the tech companies would just setup shop in other jurisdictions where such regulatory hurdles don't exist.
You don’t need a blockchain to do those things.

Retail with digital cash is the closest, but as a consumer there’s no real benefit to me over visa and the “real” coins like eth and bitcoin are very expensive for purchases.

I think a central bank digital currency with transaction fees in the millionth of a cent (the real compute cost) would be so much better for retail.
Nintendo had plenty of tools to stop Zelda from working on emulators, at least for a few weeks after release. I am curious why they chose not to bother.
Anyone who funded (multiple!!) stock repurchase with bond issue in the last five years deserves whatever they get.

Particularly in low margin, high capital industries like aerospace.
Copyright-infringing, for sure. But I am skeptical that anyone is losing money on the those old MAME Roms. I have an Anbernic (bought on Amazon), and though there are a handful of pirated games it came with that I like, I was at least as excited to see that flashing AmberELEC on it supports Pico-8 (which they didn't pirate and include, I bought it and installed it, along with a bunch of carts).
My father in law's iPad responds to me, and my phone to him almost every time either of us say 'hey Siri'.
Okay, Mr. Nintendo. I think it’s illegal and very cool.

Care to elaborate why you think artificially high prices on outdated console games (your SD full of ROMs) in any way helps a software developer - in either venture capital (we are on HN) or their take-home paycheck. Because as far as I can tell, the only people it helps is rent-seekers on ancient IP. You know, the kinda people we wanna “disrupt”?

The release prior to this one was quite good, no issues at all. Very noticeable problems in the last few hours.
I think the confusion is coming from it being a social network which requires them to ask people for “help” to prove out their ideas — you can’t have a network without users.

Having people helping to prove the idea is one small step away from having people helping to implement the idea and, IMHO, is where the confusion is coming from. They want to implement the idea without help but can’t because the idea itself can’t work without help and helpful people are, unfortunately, helpful.

Totally wrong message being learned here.
If it's at the hand of FTC, this is probably unlikely. Now, if this power is delegated from the FTC or another government agency to a number of licensed institutions (mostly universities), then I can imagine this happening.
Definitely. Generally, we're moving towards being

1. more flexible: if you want to change the type of friction for unlocking your apps we can enable that. instead of a 15 second breath to unlock app, you could activate "walk 100 steps to unlock" (as measured by healthkit). or "leave your house in the morning to unlock" (as measured by your location.)

2. cross-platform: compulsive tech usage follows us many of us to our laptops. we're building consistent experiences cross-platform for those who want it. (our chrome extension is the first example of this)

3. more robust: right now we're providing a moderating force that's ultimately avoidable if you're motivated enough to delete the app. we're building to allow users to opt-in to systems they literally can't get around, should they want this level of restriction. (clearspace "teammates" are the first example of this)
If you're a coder churning out tickets with zero input, probably not much value in product sense as nobody is looking for your opinions on it.

If you're an engineer at a company that makes it a point to give them a seat at the table and expects them to deliver solutions that drive business impact, it's quite valuable.
How to be more secure in your relationships
I just recently saw this poignant short documentary on the johatsu[1], plenty of sad stories.

The article is suggesting to think:

'how would organized criminal deception, selective outrage judiciary system, powered by a federal spy agency operatives actively suppressing information relevant in election -- would look?'

For some, the answer would be: 'yes' it would exactly like we saw in 2020.. the story with the President's son laptop with info suggesting his dad takes a '10% cut' while peddling political influence.

for some, the answer would be 'no', the CIA did not meddle in US election, and there is enough of 'plausible deniability' to support this view...
> you are only collecting statistics about JS users. And that is not everyone.

Okay. I can assume that anyone who has JS disabled, and I know how to detect that in the iframe, as also not having WebGPU available. Because WebGPU is exclusively JS and if JS is disabled, it effectively disables WebGPU. I'll add that.

I don’t think it’s fair to value crypto at $1.3T as there’s a substantial amount of self dealing to inflate asset prices. I don’t believe the value of the NFT market either when people are selling things to themself and claiming a market value.

It’s like claiming the economy in Roblox has some massive amount when there’s no actual check or way to determine actual liquid value. If people wanted to sell all their crypto they aren’t getting $1.4T. If people want to sell $1.4T of US fiat, they are probably getting around$1.4T.

Quite useful if you die or become incapacitated etc so emails, files and photos etc can be kept as needed.
But it will. Because it doesn't matter if it's fundamentally better than a good recruiter if it's orders of magnitude cheaper. If you can have it pursue far more leads, maybe the outcomes are going to be the same or better. And if you used it to replace a bad or a mediocre recruiter? In any case, you might not care: hiring is a crapshoot anyway, and AI is saving you millions of dollars.

You want to weed out people who are clearly unqualified, but that's not rocket science. Beyond that, every company has a different hiring bar, a different process... and approximately zero data that their approach works better than anybody else's. Interview performance is a poor predictor of job performance. Whether the bar is high or comparatively relaxed, around 70% of the people you hire will be good, and the rest will underperform, leave after a couple of months, have difficult personalities, and so forth.

It's been a few decades since I lived out in the boonies, so I don't know how things have improved. It used to be there was cell coverage only near the main roads and cable limited similarly. I could get a couple FM stations where I was and no TV, and I wasn't even particularly deep in the hills. The main thing I think hasn't changed much is there are power outages in storms. Also consider that people out there are usually trailing modern tech by quite a bit.

Cheap local AM is definitely what we need to keep. I think there are 4 school stations near me now, 2 college and 2 high school. I personally find kids having fun more interesting that adults preaching. :-)

current (v8 v10.6.194.9) - file size: 19.5 MB, startup RSS: 12.3 MB

so, that's roughly 30% binary size increase and 50% greater startup memory usage in 2.5 years. =/

You are already in a dystopian DRM landscape and have been for 20 years since general purpose computing died and all computer hardware from your BIOS to your monitor cable already enforces DRM. The FSF was right. That’s off topic though.

Distributing royalties to artists is just something called programmable NFTs. It’s just cryptography - a program enforces the artist’s account is credited to allow a transfer and it’s not a big deal. artists are absolutely making money from this. It fixes an issue in traditional art where the resale value of an artists earlier works increases however, the artist doesn’t see any of those returns.
