Decentralized is critical to the recipe as well. 'Immutable' centralized ledgers are largely a non-starter because the scenarios you want to use block chain for are zero-trust type scenarios. With centralization, the promise of immutability holds exactly as long as it's convenient for the centralizing power.

In any case, defining public use or accessibility as the metric of relevance of something is quite illogical. You end up with countless absurdities like relativity being worthless and CocaCola being the most relevant invention ever.
I think we’re nearing the point of the initial dotcom bust. A whole of internet startups went completely belly up when the early 2000s initial bubble burst.

That was no reflection of the actual potential it just indicated that people at all points of the value chain had not yet grasped how or what the internet was or how it would mesh with humanity.

That’s where we are now. It’ll burst but not because it’s overhyped; because we don’t collectively understand the implications.
> The universe just calculates everything everywhere all at once and there's no way to fit it into human comprehension.

Because the speed of light is finite, the universe wouldn't have to calculate everything everywhere all at once.

If the calculations around Alpha Centauri stopped updating for a while for a few months, and then caught up quickly, we wouldn't notice, because it's a few light years away.

The predominate usage of NFTs are non-art based. Insurance policies and market making use NFTs very heavily, especially after a BSL license from one market maker expired this year.

And for art NFTs, much of the interest is from the collectors space or collector sentiment as these are an improvement in supply transparency and provenance in comparison to other mediums of collections.

> time progressed five times slower just after the Big Bang.

How do you interpret that: five times slower than what, where?

Time runs more slowly for someone on a fast rocket, and what that means is that when they come home, they are younger than their twin brother who stayed home.

Without such a comparison, it is meaningless.

In particularly, how can you say time ran slower before such and such a time, compared to after, because those periods do not overlap; no meaningful comparison can be made.

If the 13.77 billion year estimate of the age of the universe is measured in relative time within the universe then that's basically what it is: the speed of time is 1: 13.77 billion years have elapsed in a span of 13.77 billion years. Some imaginary frame of reference outside of the universe might have a different opinion about long things "actually" took, but that's either irrelevant or impossible or both.

In other news, five times as many angels fit on the head of a pin in the first 300 femtoseconds of the Big Bang, compared to afterwards ...
The argument is that VC A's returns a propped up by VC B making an investment at a higher valuation, thereby making VC A's marks look great. They can go raise more money. This can continue for quite some time. While it's not a completely ridiculous analogy to a true ponzi, it's probably better to just call it a bubble. It's closer to a credit bubble, housing bubble etc.

> The problem ultimately is that CO₂ capture from the air is another expense that has to be paid, both in terms of cost and energy. Sure, if the entire process becomes so cheap and widely available that this no longer becomes issue, then we can certainly do it. But until then, it is a major stumbling block.

That is, of course, very true. Per calculations upthread, the energy cost of DAC isn't that huge, but indeed it's for the time being a very immature technology that hasn't been demonstrated at scale.

> The other problem is that if all you want is something more "practical" than hydrogen, you will stop at methane. Same basic idea as this, but you only need the Sabatier process. And we already have many facilities capable of dealing with methane. So we do not necessarily need to go further.

In principle yes. I guess it's a question of cost. Is the cost of an H2 electrolyzer + the Sabatier reactors etc. lower than this propane electrylyzer? If this propane electrylyzer thing could be done cheaply, that could be the gamechanger. Not the fact that it's technically possible to manufacture synthetic hydrocarbons, we have multiple ways of doing that, though all of them tend to be both expensive in terms of capital cost and somewhat inefficient.

> But if you insist on long carbon chains, why stop at C3? Keep going until you reach C8, or even C12-20, at which point you have the equivalent of gasoline or diesel. Basically, get to the point where you have a liquid at room temperature, and it will be even more practical than propane.

Indeed, from a handling and transportation point of view, the longer hydrocarbons are pretty much optimal. But like above, it's a question of cost. Fischer-Tropsch installations tend to be very capital intensive, yield is an issue etc.

So if this propane electrolyzer turns out to be industrially feasible at a low enough cost, maybe it's overall more efficient to deal with pressurized storage systems.
In fact, I would go further, and say that Welsh in Cardiff is spoken almost exclusively by an upper middle-class "elite". You can say that publishing in Welsh helps preserve the language, but you can't argue that it's good for making science accessible or useful.

If we trace the origins of the languages currently spoken in the UK, it's much more correct to say that all of the original languages were pushed out by foreign influence from the continent.

> Possibly something to work on.

tacking this on to whatever you are disagreeing with automatically makes me not respect whatever it is you are saying
There is only one rule when talking about job, or essentially anything in life, if you wan to win. And that is - always be ready to walk out. This mostly means able, not just willing. Never put yourself in a position where you are cornered and have no way out. This is where "fuck you money" comes in, usually. If you know you will have food on the table, roof above your head and a bed to sleep in, your perspective will be quite different than a person that is one blown up tyre away from getting evicted.

And secondly, when it comes to jobs, always look for a job while employed. And not just that, you can use that to renegotiate your salary and benefits with your current employer because hiring new person would also mean mentoring them in the company culture and know-how and things like that, that you already know. So it is a cost to them that might be, and usually is, much higher than increasing your salary.

And a tip for the road, make sure your pay increases every year, either with inflation or based on agreed upon percentage(like 5% a year, for example). Inflation is universal and companies increase their prices accordingly, yet workers never require increase of their salaries, usually until years later.
Could is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. People have been hypothesising about the nature of mind and intelligence for a long time. There is no compelling connectionist, moar-will-work, it-can-learn-to-think model, which infers the nature of intelligence and how that relates to GAN or GPT or any of what people are doing now.

What people are doing now is amazing. I love looking at pictures of the pope in puffer jackets. I love "this person does not exist"

It could be on the road to AGI, but then, I could win lotto. and I do enter lotto, even knowing the odds. The thing is I don't plan as if I WILL win lotto and a lot of "this AI could be the road to AGI" is about planning as if it will, to secure a slice of the future.

It could? yea. But, it isn't.

Sal Khan (founder of Khan Academy) had a decent analogy for what AI is doing to creative fields in the No Priors Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH95LKOILgE&t=2626s&ab_chann...:

The camera is the best metaphor. In the 19th century, being an artist was a real thing; it was really a technical field. You were a portrait painter and the best artists would study for years to be as accurate to reality as you could - look at how the light moves and all of that. All of a sudden, the camera comes out and artists fear this is the end of art because this new thing can capture reality better than anyone can.

But then very quickly, people realized that in some ways this liberates the artists. It's not a coincidence that the impressionist movement coincided with the advent of the camera. People realized it's not about capturing reality but the expression and feelings conjured. This led to an explosion about what art is and come out of the trap about painting, nobility, and grand scenes into things that really evoke and challenge us.

People are now saying AI can write pretty well. It can code pretty well. It can create movies, images pretty well. What that tells me is that it liberates the creator to move beyond that. Someone can elevate and integrate and manage these tools.

It's obvious to those on the ground that there are vast differences between people doing the same job. You can say "we only want the best" and fire the pretty-good, but the tone that sets is incredibly harsh. You can try to promote your top performers, but L+1 is usually defined as a different nature and scope of work, not the same work done better. This creates perverse incentives like separating people from their mentors so that they can demonstrate leadership, or choosing the most complicated way of getting something done & involving a lot of people so that they can demonstrate scope. Managers play these games because if they don't, they lose their best workers to outside offers.
It doesn’t have to be this way! Any year can be the most memorable of your life. Think about what you want, then go get it.
> Isn't all of this explained by the fact that we have a supermassive black hole at the middle of the galaxy?

No.

> We perceive distant time to run slow because we're falling into a black hole.

We aren't falling into a black hole.

> This also explains a lot of the expansion observations . . .they're not moving away from each other . . .our local perspective is shifting so that the ENTIRE outside universe seems to be doing that.

The way our local perspective would need to be shifting for that to happen is much more complicated and unrelated to anything else, than the expansion hypothesis.

We can check the predictions of the accepted theories of gravity with things like gravitational lensing and flying very precise clocks very fast under different strengths of gravity etc. That accepted theory does not predict what you are suggesting for our local perspective.

Of course, we can categorically exclude a new effect like what you describe, just like we can't exclude Russell's teapot. But there's no evidence for it, and it doesn't allow us to make new predictions.
In terms of big exits, Marc Randolph, Netflix's founder was married well before he started the company and had kids at the time.

In terms of (much) smaller exits, I'm the child of a startup founder. I was about age 8 and it was sold when I was about 25. It was never more than 20 people, and my dad was President as the founding engineer. It was enough for a solid middle class childhood for myself and a sibling in a VHCOL area and my dad and mom are very comfortable in retirement.

It helped that my mom was stay at home, I think. My dad bootstrapped his company and had to work on it nights when I was young after his paying job before they had enough customers that they could go full-time. They never took funding. He made time for us on the weekends, but my mom did all the weekday stuff
>I don't know why people complain about "wasting their time interviewing" so much. Interviewing is both a valuable skill and a good information discovery process - as you mentioned.

for me:

- it's long, often 3 stages minimum, but more typically 5-6 rounds. do I really want to take 5-10 hours per job out of my month just to "figure out my worth?". As long as I can pay the bills and I'm not miserable at my job, I'm fine.

- if you have a job, it is hard to schedule around all these rounds. In addition, it feels stressful since by most intents, a company does not react well to hearing you are shopping around

- it generally makes use of skills that do not reflect my performance in a job. I am 6 years into industry, I don't and never needed to invert a binary tree on the spot. Meanwhile, actual skills like proper coding practices/architecture, code review feedback, test coverages/edge cases, and the ability navigate through the company to find the person you need are barely even mentioned.

- it's a sterile, artificial environment that more or less makes you put on airs to show "your best self". "why do you want to work for this company" is asked in nearly every interview setting and we all know your real answer is the wrong one, as opposed to using the time to show off how much you researched the company. Even if you basically jut googled "X engineer" and applied because the salary range fit you.

I can understand testing in juniors, because there is no license exam for an engineer, and maybe on the other side of the hump you can get to a point where the companies are trying to impress you. But that middle hump feels like the worst of both worlds.

>If you're getting so many offers its boring, look for a way to interview for more demanding positions.

if you're at that point, you're probably not going to find your answer on the internet. those sorts of jobs are word of mouth.

There's definitely some truth to that, but I also see a lot of older developers who are equally unaware of the newer ways of developing, and then struggle to see the potential improvements there.

For example, front-end templating systems are usually come with a lot more than more traditional templating engines. I can get autocomplete on component names and attributes, squigglies when I do something wrong, type safety, as well as more logical import/scoping rules - just follow the import lines and you find where a component was defined. Meanwhile, partials tend to be much more stringly typed, have very little IDE support, and often still seem to use a global partials folder to define reusable components.

The other big thing that I miss in traditional templating engines is scoping for web technologies. Being able to collocate styles and HTML structure is incredibly useful, and makes it a lot easier to share components around in different contexts. Similarly, if I have an accordion partial that uses a bit of Javascript for progressive enhancement, it's very useful to be able to group that Javascript with the partial, scope it to that context, and let the templating engine hook everything up. Scoped CSS (however you implement it, be that CSS modules, CSS-in-JS, tailwind, or whatever else) is a godsend for making really robust components, and I've never found anything even half as good on the server side.

So I don't think this is an answer, certainly not THE answer, but I worry that aspects of the early universe like the local density of matter or electric fields were radically different to what we have now. If you imagine a beacon of light which is a signal from time "back then" which has to pass through both the early states of the universe with different densities of things between then and now, and us and them, AND has to be observed, I can think of ways both matter and energy could interfere with that signal differently across time. Consequently, the amount of red shift we see in modern times for more modern (ie closer) things reflects more modern states of the universe. As a correction factor, we'd be applying what we know, to what we infer, about the density in those times.

This is why I express skepticism: It's very hard to believe there are no confounding factors in the states of being then, compared to now, which might lie inside the error/noise thresholds of their calculations.

"it had to be time was different then" feels like "because I want it to" against all the sources of noise and conjecture, between then and now.

I hasten to add I am not an astrophysicist. So, I can be put firmly back in my box and told to accept good science says otherwise.

Just as soon as my kids grow up and I pay off this immense mortgage that is smothering us.

Not to be a huge downer, I generally agree with you. There is a choice to be made. It's difficult though, and for some, maybe practically impossible. The demands of life can be extreme.

For me, getting in the ocean is a pretty good way to make time stretch out. I try to do it as much as I can. Otherwise, quality time with my kids is great, though harder to fit in as they socialize more and more. There are ways to slow down time though, for sure. I like to think those things are a real gift.

Also, this is hard I think, but I read something recently in the context of mindfulness and meditation. It went something like "The next thing you'll need to do is likely something you've done countless times before. Think about it closely this time". And that's a good strategy too. We forget to pay attention, as if run by a motor. I guess that's a choice as well.
