IMHO Apple should be able to launch the Vision Pro with functionality/apps to describe some 3d scene in words or pictures/gestures and render it on the fly.

https://eckertzhang.github.io/Text2NeRF.github.io/ + 3d gaussian splatting + time-varying flow on spats (for which transformers would be quite apt, to ground changes based on prompt) is my bet how they could do it.

> No one wins a drone war.

A non sequitur with no justification. If you are being attacked with drones, and you don’t have any, you are definitely going to lose that war.

This is like how people say nobody wins a nuclear war. Ask Ukraine how they feel about the decision to give up their nukes is going.
If you want fun narration and loosely tech based story, I'd recommend the Magic 2.0 series. Scott Myers created a fun world in that series. I'm really hoping book 7 comes out at some point. The narration is so damn funny. Luke Daniels is a master of making all the characters come alive.

The Expanse series is also good if you want more of an epic. Jefferson Mays also does a great job of making the characters feel real. Even if he changes how gimbal is pronounced between certain books.

There's also loads of great non fiction stuff out there. One of my personal favorites from this past year was Sentience by Nicholas Humphrey. His recent RI lecture was great and a good high level view of the book. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QWaZp_2I1k

You don't seem to understand the purpose of UVXY. It's not meant to be held for longer periods of time, it's a financial product for traders to make short term volatility plays.

In this age-of-big-data, it seems like you should be able to find data on each traffic fatality for the past ten years. Things like time of day, ages/demographics of drivers, demographics of victims, street address/gps coordinates, make/model of vehicles involved, blood alcohol level of impaired drivers, court determination of responsible party, etc.. Does anyone know where to find this?

> But how long it take to evolve precisely the right conditions to create this reservoir-building machine?

I dont understand the nature of your question. A planet with carbon based life is a reservoir building machine. If you take environmentally available carbon and transform it into fantastically complex molecules through the miracle of biology, these molecules will eventually be buried and break down into a sludge of simpler molecules. The answer to your question here on earth is that as long as there is carbon based life, hydrocarbons in the geology are inevitable.
Instead of looking for evidence of consumption risk at current/past levels — it would be good to know: what is the threshold of continuous daily ingestion beyond which microplastics are harmful. The answer can't be infinity of course, so it would be worth finding the threshold, and then how far we're off from that threshold based on current growth.

Not suggesting to have humans consume concentrated concoctions of plastics, but however ethically science allows.

The nation that can destroy (or otherwise severely impair) the drone manufacturing/supply/operation capabilities of the opponent, wins a war that heavily includes drones. That's assuming the drones matter that much, which hasn't been demonstrated yet. Drones have not shifted the balance of power in Ukraine v Russia for example. It's no different than blowing up any other kind of weapons supply. You stop the supply, that's how you end the mass drone threat in that kind of war. You don't just endlessly trade hits from drones. That'd be like never targeting your opponents artillery production, or tank production, or cruise missile production, or jet production, or repair facilities, et al.

Of course one side or the other will win a drone war, just like most any other war.
I know making millions off crypto doesn't make me an authority, but... It's not an investment. I made money off people speculating by taking advantage solely off an inefficient market. There's nothing else to it. Money put in is not used to generate more wealth. Whether it's going to be used as an official currency in the future in no way would make an investment, nor would it mean it should even go up an value.

More approved use means more standard financial industry products using BTC, means more overall volume/value in BTC, means higher price. Of course people holding BTC will like that.
I mean, I know it's the SEC and all, but did they really not have their account locked down with all kinds of fail-safes to prevent something exactly like this? One is tempted to speculate about an inside job to sabotage an approval they never wanted to grant in the first place.

On the other hand, it is the SEC ....

Time doesn't work like that.

Ten people wasting 6 minutes doesn't necessarily waste an hour. No one is curing cancer with the time "saved" from loading GTA Online. More likely than not, they're playing GTA Online 6 minutes less.

And to be fair to Rockstar, which the author was, this problem lurking in the standard library isn't really to be expected. You expect your standard libraries to be decently optimized.

And why it was undiscovered for years has a very simple answer: It wasn't a priority.

Why should that problem be prioritized over everything else? Everything else that could "burn lifetimes away"? Everything that could make the game crash? Or cause people to stop playing? It's quite possible that this issue was always slightly less important than whatever else may have come up.
Is this fabled Bitcoin ETF really going to be the "to the moon" moment that everyone in the ecosystem seems to be expecting? From personal experience, I can't think of anyone who wants to buy Bitcoin but hasn't been able to by now. It takes a few clicks on Coinbase/Robinhood or a similar exchange. Plenty of 401k/IRA managers (including Fidelity) offer it as an option. So what exactly changes once this ETF is live?
Well, then. All is forgiven.
And cars aren’t essential? Further, Apple is not one of two players there are a handful of manufacturers of phones for sale in the US.

Yeah but a lot of people have probably lost a lot by holding and not understanding how it works or underestimating the decay. Same for leveraged gold miners, which have also lost all value. A BTC etf is probably safer than UVXY.

The discussion, as I understood it, was about contrasting dramatic reenactments using actors with using digital recreations (i.e. "what makes these two techniques different?"). danbruc was talking about how the digital recreation in the news recently was inaccurate. I was questioning if that mattered, since I wasn't so much contrasting paid actors with that specific case but instead with what new technology now allows and what YouTube is probably trying to prevent with their policy.
Mine is not loud enough, even at its loudest setting (mine can be controlled with a knob) for me to hear it in by bedroom. But it will wake up people sleeping right above it.
Yes and no. If you are thinking of a no-sql database, then this is an easy approach. However, I would expect most of the systems to be using normalized tables and this approach would be pretty hard due to relational constraints.

You would have to have a separate database copy running for deleted entries so that it can be consistent within itself.

You could still make money on the way down and then the way back up. And you’d probably move the market more than the ~3% that it was moved because the market consensus already gives a high probability to an approval this month.

I get your point that it may not rebound quite as much because the hack itself lowers the odds of approval, but imagine the optics of Gary Gensler saying “it's not true that we denied the ETFs” -- bitcoin boosters would read that as a signal that it will be approved.

Read it again. It seems you were reading too fast. I'm talking about the future, not the change being discussed right now.

> It's great that the core devs are keeping up with the time.

You mistake the influence of Microsoft and their desire to sell features for progress. Python is actually regressing as a system. It's becoming worse, not better. But it's hard to see the gestalt of it if all you are looking for is the new features.

> it's no where near Java

That is true. Java is a much more simple and regular (not in the automata theory sense) language. Today, if you want a simpler language, you need to choose Java over Python (although neither is very simple, so, preferably, you need a third option).

> You can still write simple Python

I can also write simple C++ if I limit what I use from the language to a very small subset. This says nothing about the simplicity of the language...

I don't have the flag memorized, and wouldn't know to look at the flag unless I already knew what the acronym was.
Your argument contains a pretty serious logic flaw. You are taking the top line argument (100 traders 33% beat the market, congress consistently beats the market, thus its indicative of an information advantage). But look at the underlying data. There are very few congress people that beat the market in 2023 and in 2022. I counted 5 members who beat the S&P in both years. Of those 3 have no trades, so were just marking existing positions that happened to be better than the market including the previously mentioned NVDIA stock. A 4th has 1 trade total. The final one is Ron Blumenthal. He is an active trader but also one of the richest men in politics. He made his money the old fashioned way, he married rich.

Every other congress person would have been better off in an index fund as expected. Its easy to write dramatic headlines about Congress people trading, and there are very good reasons that they shouldn't (it influencing their votes is top of that) but there is very little evidence of any significant information advantage in the trading positions or returns of congress people.

$2k is ~5%; that's enough in a short enough time to trigger equity market circuit breakers and temporarily pause trading. Bitcoin has no such controls because there is no NMS regulation applied here, which is one of the SEC's fears around allowing Bitcoin ETFs.

I generally don't agree with this guidance as it is not universally applied to ETFs that the SEC has allowed historically, but it does buttress their case to a degree.

EDIT: bad math; closer to 4% price move -- although the rebound from the spike might break the threshold, current SEC rules use a trailing price band so wouldn't trigger here.
I totally agree. The video does actually show the product, and it looks interesting, but the other parts of the website are a big turn off.
Yeah it sets timers, that's about it. Not saying this product is good but the intention of what they are trying to enable here is a world apart from what Apple is running on the watch.

Ukraine couldn't use or maintain those nuclear weapons.

They had no control over their actual use. So why would Ukraine feel bad about giving them up? It was a huge benefit to get rid of them given the risks and costs associated.

They absolutely could not afford to maintain them circa 1991-2021. Not even remotely close.

Giving them up was the only thing that made any sense given their extremely low real value. If Ukraine made a mistake, it was in what they got in return for those non-functional weapons. They didn't negotiate very well.
It's a neat idea but I'm not sure what the audience is. "It's simpler", but you still need to manage a bunch of integrations from a computer? It can't seem to make phone calls?

No it isn't. It has two use cases, a stablecoin platform and a platform for token scams. It's losing market share all the time to other rubbish like Solana. Why would anyone in their right mind hold chuck-e-cheese arcade token Ethereum as actual money. Hint: they won't.

Who in the world is still long on crypto?

In the past few years we've seen ample evidence that crypto is largely a complete scam, and likewise strong evidence that none of crypto's hoped for value will come to fruition (we didn't see it useful for fighting inflation, it's not being used to avoid sanctions, it certainly isn't being used as a currency, etc).

The fact that crypto still has any market value, and that companies like coinbase not only exist but have had a stellar year defies the imagination.

I get a few years back when there was still a lot of speculation/optimism, but clearly today everyone see that it is just a con. Today even my most cynical view of markets seems naive.

Because they are the ones that can exploit lax laws of the US (or lax execution). The reason the big companies became big is since 80s almost no company got broken by the US.

The US is mostly a single culture and people mostly speak a single language. It is already easier to found more successful companies in the US. Then the laws give much more leeway in workers rights, privacy rights and environment protection in the US.

When those companies enter EU market, they try to steamroll the existing EU ones who did everything by the book. They can exploit loopholes better, they can get better loans (sometimes at the expense of natural persons' accounts) and sell for a loss for longer, they can hire lawyers to delay decisions while forcing other competitors into bankruptcy.

This reduces actual competition and innovation. Not the best, most beneficial product with better operational cost, customer benefit or even the best profit wins. The one that can inflate their value the most wins.

Amazon is a great example of that. Their store sucks in every single way. Filtering sucks, search sucks, quality sucks, delivery sucks, returns except the Amazon center suck. There are way better stores in just Germany than Amazon. But everybody buys at Amazon because they can strong arm sellers to reduce prices to unreasonable levels and avoid strong tax laws.

Some people in the EU see this as an actual problem for the economy and act. They try to level the playing field. The US government sleeps on the laws so the companies grow stronger and try to do even more misdeeds globally which also negatively affects EU.
I wonder if the fact that their account was hacked for this will influence their decision about whether to actually allow Bitcoin ETFs
