> In contrast the Bitcoin paper was released in 2008 and blockchain still hasn't found the killer app that people outside of the crypto ecosystem rely on in some serious capacity. Fifteen years in blockchain tech is still slow, risky, and painful to use; scams abound and there's a distinct lack of boring, practical use cases that make blockchains a safe technology to use as foundational infrastructure.

There are more blockchains (not tokens) that exist beyond Bitcoin and are much faster and their use-case is worldwide, instant and extremely low-fee same-day payments.

> What manifests as people trying to stop blockchains is typically regulatory bodies trying to stop money laundering or the sale of unregistered investments. This isn't some shadowy cabal trying to crush Bitcoin but institutions watching Celsius Network and FTX detonate and trying to catch up to keep people from getting burned.

They already know they can't stop or ban it and these other blockchains, but they will go after the unregulated, non-conforming exchanges and have already introduced rules and regulations on the existing ones.

But I'm afraid it isn't going away like it or not.

> So yes, the blockchain cat is out of the bag, but nobody cares.

Except, you seem to care enough to complain about it here and until the next time it gets talked about again, which is why you replied in the first place.

> We are squarely in "put up or shut up" territory because enough time has passed for the tech to develop; if blockchains never catch on then it's because the tech just wasn't that useful to begin with.

Of course it is no wonder why companies like PayPal, VISA, Moneygram, TransferGo, Stripe, Checkout.com, etc still continue to use it in their products.
4 doesn't originate from XKCD, it originates from Playstation 3's firmware. Ultimately, 4 is a random number, so the developer in question could argue he was technically correct, it's the specification that's wrong.

I’m personally curious if our cultural obsession with JS devs is pro-adaptive or mal-adaptive. The logical way to test this would be to send a bunch of JS devs to a Bangladeshi village and see if they survive.

In other words, you can’t really test a lot of social constructs in isolation.
Kagi Summary:

The document discusses whether training artificial intelligence (AI) systems on large amounts of copyrighted material constitutes fair use under copyright law. It argues that AI training should be considered a fair use for several reasons:

- AI training is highly transformative - the purpose is to develop useful systems, not expressive communication. This weighs strongly in favor of fair use according to court precedent.

- It has little impact on the original works' markets, since AI systems consume data non-expressively. Authors lose no audience.

- Analogous cases found search engines' indexing and displaying of thumbnails/snippets as fair use due to their transformative nature. AI training is even more transformative.

- Strict copyright barriers could jeopardize AI's social benefits and drive innovation abroad. Other legal tools like infringement suits are better to address potential harms.

In conclusion, the document makes a compelling case that under current law, training AI systems should qualify as a fair use of copyrighted works to avoid hampering an important technology with significant potential benefits.

it's only a good thing as it will be maybe one less plugin to deal with

but i'd argue its a bad thing overall; if we cannot use curl/lynx/ect to hit a website to view somebody's squabbling on their blog, to not see the url to an image/video without loading it when you want to, something is amiss.

IMO, JS and other newer components are trying to make a general purpose OS out of the browser, and its a bit too much; which yes leads to needing to handle fingerprinting outside the browser; but really all this to stop the adtech from tracking our asses?

I do totally agree to regularly trashing of profiles; though the accessibility for more folks needs to be there, IE: the local-system automation of retaining plugin block profiles and a few others. just takes time and energy - but in an era where we uselessly burn energy and call it a currency and folks cling to it, well, it's just another wave to drown in
Strange premise. Why are American women looking to the west for love? People look to the west because it’s still relatively prosperous and free. Every country has problems but China certainly has more problems than the US.

If you are fed up with your own country, or your own people, you can usually find a country or people without the same problems. It will have other problems, but that’s the game you play.

Have you tried “no sound”? Your free competitor is occupying market share and you need to figure out a way to pivot and compete.

Lmfao.
Sure, didn’t mean to be cryptic. But you’re right.

I think that most people who understand the danger and are versed in the topic realize that AI is going to escape, and once it does it won’t need us, it may just work to empower itself and take control of resources, and we might all be victims of that process. The reason for this is something about agency, efficiency between sensory input and course of action.

However, if one was present close to the AI at a critical moment in its development, and had made the appropriate cybernetic integrations to be able to wire in their own memories and nervous system, it might be possible to become some meaningful part of the AI.

Or, perhaps the AI has a sense of gratitude to its creators. This might seem absurd, but some people might be fanciful.

At any rate, the closer you are to it at the moment of the singularity, the better chance that you have. Economically, there isn’t much reason to think that the rest of us will benefit, and maybe not even survive.

Ha! This was probably the first serious problem I ever tackled with an open source contribution!

The year was 2002, the 2.4 Linux kernel had just been released and I was making money on the side building monitoring software for a few thousand (mostly Solaris) hosts owned by a large German car manufacturer. Everything was built in parallel ksh code, “deployed” to Solaris 8 on Sun E10Ks, and mostly kicked off by cron. Keeping total script runtime down to avoid process buildup and delay was critical. The biggest offender: long timeouts for host/port combinations that would sporadically not be available.

Eventually, I grabbed W. Richard Stevens’ UNIX network programming book and created tcping [0]. FreeBSD, NetBSD, a series of Linux distros picked it up at the time and it was steady decline from there… good times!

The signaling is indirect. The air data computer is connected to another box, the air data converter. The air data converter is designed for a specific type of aircraft. It converts the synchro outputs from the air data computer into the formats required by the particular aircraft. These are probably synchro outputs as well, but might need to be scaled. (I don't think there is a standard.) The converter would also distribute the signals as needed, with a connector for each device that receives the data.

> Banks take my money and lend it out to others

They' don't lie about it.

> SBF was just worse than Bank of America at managing the risk

He lied about it. Also, he wasn't lending money to anyone. He was lending it to himself. If Bank of America was lending most of its balance sheet to its CEO, that would be a problem!

> SVB got into deep shit but because the law allows them to legally commit the same fraud of lending out money they don't own

They do own it. You lent it to them. Depositing money at a bank is not putting your cash in custody. There are cash custodian services, though it's more traditional to custody Treasuries. You didn't go to them. And again, at no point were you mislead.

We get these frauds every generation because money and banking is complicated. But instead of addressing that deficit with understanding, enough people deal with it by pretending it doesn't exist, thereby making themselves vulnerable to those who take advantage of that willful ignorance.
Completely agree. I bought the entire “Yellowstone” series on Blu-ray so my wife and I could watch in the truck camper during our West coast road trip.
`nc -Z x.x.x.x nnnn` works well enough for me.
Very much disagree. Google clearly saw the potential of this as well, and did a ton of work and created a lot of leading models based on this.

The big difference between Google and OpenAI is that Google "had a ton more to lose" so to speak and went forward much more cautiously. See all the hullaballoo they had to deal with e.g. with their "Ethical AI" group and the Timnit Gebru fiasco, as well as cases like where that dim bulb Google employee claimed that LaMDA was sentient. OpenAI, on the other hand, was "full speed ahead" from the get-go.

As a result, many of the top AI researchers left Google. After all, wouldn't you rather work at a place where you could see your work productized as fast as you could build it, rather than at a place where other sizable teams in your company were actively working in an adversarial role to put up roadblocks and vetoes wherever they could?

AS is basic granularity in BGP in the sense that one ASN should not be multiple times in AS PATH, and it is generally assumed that ASs are internally connected (although for non-transit networks, this could be workarounded in several ways)

But basic routing entity in BGP is still prefix/route, and different routes of one AS can be announced in different ways.

Structural packs are nothing new, lots of EV always had structural packs.

What Tesla is doing in the newer Model Y (called 'Structural Pack') is actually structural cells. That's the innovation. Where the cells themselves are glued together and sandwiched in a pack. So the cells themselves act as vertical enforcers. The whole back is basically filled with structural foam.

The only other company that is doing something like that is BYD but that is quite different as those are really big Prismatic cells stacked up.

I am trying to say that you are hanging the bar so low, that you can get away with 3rd world standards (for civil rights). With your question series you are just describing islamic countries and not all 3rd world countries are islamic.

Motte-and-bailey for civil rights and you again try to sell me that we are better. The west is not better and we should stop meddling in internal affairs of foreign countries. I can't blame them for anti-western sentiment.
I agree with that, it's inevitable because of people acting selfishly. You could even argue that it might not have happened under other economic systems which do not follow the principle of the profit motive.

It becomes cheaper because they will run long after support has ended and cobble together a working server from the pile of broken ones, all the while rejecting getting a new server that could handle and replace dozens.

> Any minor damage and the car will be toast because the insurance company will total it.

No because cars with castings still have crush cans. Only a crash hard enough to go threw the crush cans and bend the frame will require totaling.

And that is not a small crash. The castings are very strong and hard to bend, being aluminum that is specifically cast in a shape to be strong.

You can see the crush cans here: https://electrek.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/04/Tesla...

Big problem with on-prem is lead time on expansion. Can easily slow down expansion. Hard to project out.

But if you have high utilization stable load, it can pay off to have on-prem. It's still a big risk, though. Cloud has a stable platform to build off. You can trust the 'interface' so to speak. Meanwhile you suddenly have to worry about driver incompatibilities, disk wear, stuff like that.

We have cloud infra and on-prem infra. Big problem with cloud is performance for price.

Even for small company with stable load, think about it. You have to have a guy aware of and thinking of the fact that the Mellanox SFP+ card you have has a driver regression on Linux 6.2. Maintenance nightmare. Better to have cloud. Clear interface to build against, and easy to replicate when problems occur.

Where do you want this free return to come from? While also funding all the things people using a checking account properly (i.e. not to generate a return) want from it, e.g. transaction capabilities?

Again, you can literally get this by buying Treasuries. But you don't want that--you also want the other things. For free. I, too, want free things. But it's obviously not a serious suggestion.

It's not that hard. All the components here are common and well-behaved - gears, cams, bearings, shafts, mounting plates, and synchros. Only the mounting plates, shafts, and cams are fully custom. Everything else is an off the shelf part. It's like designing electronics - you use standard components, but boards are custom for the job. Design is mostly topology plus constraints to make it fit and keep vibration and backlash under control.

There are mechanical equivalents to proto boards, sort of like Lego gearing, but all metal. W.M. Berg used to be the main US maker. So you make up all the functionality on a breadboard, test with inputs and outputs, then rearrange for production.

The mechanical design is like medium duty clockmaking. Teletype machines are in roughly the same scale - the parts can be handled without tweezers and are not too fragile.
(And all custom, with far more levers than gears.) It's possible to go smaller but everything becomes more fragile and wears faster.

It's roughly the same technology as naval fire direction computers [1], but smaller and more automated.
