David Bentley Hart's The Experience of God does a pretty good job of laying this out from a religious perspective: https://www.amazon.com/Experience-God-Being-Consciousness-Bl...

Unfortunately, the book is in some ways kind of a lengthy introduction to what it actually purports to be, but it does a needed job nevertheless.

Anyways, interesting about this Flew guy. Few people change their mind about anything--let alone core beliefs like this.

And I think where he actually landed also offers a pretty good example of what should be obvious: that religion as we know it should not be equated with belief in God, and that one can easily believe in some form of "God" without accepting the postulates of various religions.

> The idle rich draw their income from capital gains on investments in the things that are becoming more expensive and are largely non negotiable. People must spend wages on shelter food energy and probably transport.

Wages have gone up in real terms (how the fed measures inflation). Food, energy, & transport have slightly under-performed inflation.

i.e. there's no way to slice it - the average laborer can afford more food & labor now than in the past.

The linked site differs from Case Shiller - saying that housing has also under-performed inflation. I'm interested how they arrived at that.

Housing is the real problem - and the vast, vast majority of housing in the US is owned by individuals and mom-and-pop investors, not corporations & billionaires.

The idle rich cannot be blamed for our problems in housing - though they can be blamed for other things. On housing, we can only blame ourselves, voting aggressively to curtail development at every opportunity.

I think this depends entirely on the competition. Athletes "cheat" by taking ped, but it's still interesting to see how far they're able to take themselves. Similarly, if an AI assisted programmer is able to solve aoc's relatively complex problems at lightning speed that's interesting too. But if the comonm understanding is that people should solve it without AI, obviously I agree ot feels shitty to go against that.

I think you got your timeline a bit mixed up. the EV and blockchain craze happened during and BECAUSE of the pandemic. It was the rise of inflation that brought everything down starting in February of 2021. (yes, blockchain had a previous bubble, but that ended in 2018).

This is why bitcoin and the nasdaq both peaked in December 2021. But those EV spacs were already in a world of hurt since Feb.

I would use a different streaming platform (and I do for some creators like Louis Rossman). But at this point, and you may already know this, YouTube has a monopoly on the video sharing/streaming market and mindshare. You simply can't avoid YouTube in 2023, else you forfeit watching 98% of all video content produced on the internet.

The maintainers of frontends like Nitter/NewPipe/Invidious/Scribe.rip know this. And I'd bet most of them wish their applications had no reason to exist. If YouTube or Twitter were simply good, privacy-respecting and performant products, there would be no reason to use these (or adblock).

Each has merits, but in our evaluation, if you are able to overcome the aircraft design challenges, fixed-wing offers a far more capable platform. The stratosphere has winds that can exceed 100km/h. With balloons, station-keeping is an enormous challenge. We spoke to a lot of people in the Google Loon project, and ultimately this became a defining problem for them. Airships/dirigibles help a bit, but still have to drift in strong winds - beyond that, they also become extremely large and expensive to work with.

Big data and AV were overhyped buzzwords at the time, but they’re both actual technology that are slowly reaching normalcy.

Plenty of people are using Spark and Databricks, plenty of people are using more abstracted products like Bigquery. No, people developed the good sense not to try to run clusters of janky and poorly documented Apache big data software as if it were “free” (except in maintenance… and bugs… and lack of feature support…) but big data is absolutely a thing. It’s just lost its buzzwordiness in the same way Web 2.0 has.

I’m actually surprised that the AV hype has died down so much because there are actual L5 AV products (Waymo, Cruise) regular people (in SF) can use now. We’re in like the original iPhone stage. They’re having their moment.
I would have expected the last one to override the first when registering routes. That seems to be the behavior I see most (not specific to web servers).

Given opposite expectations, erroring out makes sense, but a panic? Does that mean it crashes the whole web server when a client first accesses it, when you launch the server, or does it return a 500 to the client?

I do not plan to take an academic route--in fact, a CS route. Michael Levin is vocally looking for people in CS (ML) to help work on things. Maybe you already qualify.

This article is actually not about gender bias, though it does uses an article about gender bias as an example.

The topic is adversarial collaboration, essentially, the idea is to have people with diverging opinion work together as a way to limit bias and make something better in the end.

Because gender studies are a highly polarizing topic, it is an appropriate example, but I think the same ideas can be applied to topics like programming. For example, by pairing an architecture astronaut with a hacker, one may get something sensible, if both survive the encounter. For me that's what diversity is all about, more than narrow concerns about race, gender, religion and sexuality.
The reels looks too realistic though. I’m guessing they made the actual celebrities record them and left the AI to take care of the pictures and convo.
While Land 3 arguably encourages a brutal assault, it's possible (as I recall) to beat peacefully—just harder.

I thought the game's first three lands were great, though you're right that the first area is arguably the best. I can see what they were going for with land 4, and it could have been very rewarding, but I never felt the catharsis by breaking the curses that was probably intended.

I did not like land 5, though.

I'm not well-read on the technology involved. Is it possible (feasible?) to use a high altitude balloon to get a plane to altitude?

You could either detach from the balloon, or use spare solar power to deflate the balloon in case you need it again. Maybe the balloon could help maintain altitude at night.

You beat me to it! Competition is good, but so far none of the various start-ups trying to build aircraft have anything to show (boom, all eVtol companies...).

Conversely, there is this whole other subsection of people who play the AOC to place on the leaderboard (I do not – too late at night). It's fascinating to see their strategies. Personally, I focus on reproducible code, whereas they just want the answer, so often they run it in the console of the AOC website. Also, they have all developed their own libraries for common problems. It's an art, and it's fascinating to watch the videos they release.
Also, it's 99% "not different than doing it via command line", and also comes with a little js terminal gui, uses native users + passwords, has some lightweight monitoring history, lets you browse a bunch of configuration that you usually would have to remember byzantine systemd command lines for... it's awesome for what it is!

I'm happy to run it (aka: have it installed) on all my little raspberry pi's, because sometimes I'm not at a terminal when I want to scope them out, and/or if I'm at "just a web browser", being able to "natively ssh into them" via a web server (and then run `curl ...etc...` from a "real" command prompt) is super helpful!

Almost. But the crucial difference is — imagine an alternative universe, where humanity didn't have horses or any other animals or devices, even rickshas or wheels, to help moving around the world, and suddenly the first primitive cars were being invented just a couple of years ago.

From my rough estimation, this involved about 3.5 BNB to set up the smart contract. About $740 today, less back in 2022 when it was created.

I assume they used generic/existing contract code for the storage, even if the article mentions "decompiling" it. IIRC "binance smart chain" is the same as ethereum in that decompiling code is damn near impossible with all of the rounds of optimization it goes through. Unless it's changed, most explorer sites need the source and options to be uploaded before they can show the source.

That's true. It may change back to be good again. It's what we make it. Our political systems could change as well and make us more relevant again. Like if private currencies were allowed and fully embraced by governments, being a developer would probably become high status as every business may want to have their own currency. Being able to issue and administer one's own currency may be the highest status, highest leverage job imaginable. Like a financier or bank manager. Unfortunately, this is not possible in the current political environment. There is only one tightly controlled and regulated national currency and it mostly benefits lawyers, economists, politicians, CEOs, celebrities, influencers and a whole bunch of halfwits... Not developers.

> A record amount of BTC not moved on chain for the long term has reached all time highs, "wash trading" or not, that can't be faked, it's being held as it's primary value proposition, a store of value.

How much of this is due to people losing access to their wallets and the BTC being lost forever?

The number of BTC lost forever was already pretty high from what I remember. My suspicion is post-FTX there was a surge in self custody and many of these people likely lost access to their wallets from any number of the issues self-custody can bring. Or they just can’t figure out how to get it out.

Self-custody is completely impractical for 99.999% of the people walking around. The UX is horrible and the entire process overall has the most foot guns anyone will ever see.

It’s also worth pointing out that the “primary purpose” as a store of value now claimed today is only a result of bitcoin failing at the other claimed “purposes” over the years.

This one is especially entertaining to hear from crypto/BTC advocates as the title of the BTC paper is “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”.
