That's just wrong.

At least with SPACs, they're securities and you can see their finances before you invest. They're also regulated by the SECs and audited.

With the vast majority of crypto, people who start them don't intend for them to be useful. People who start them intend to scam retailers. That's it. They make up a shitcoin, throw flashy parties, spend on marketing, and then sell their shitcoin on retail. Retail knows it's all a scam too but it's a game of musical chair.
So this post is about using RAG/LLM to generate queries (Cypher in this case, to be consumed by Kuzu). That way you could ask natural-language questions to be answered by the result of the query.

I wonder if you could comment about other areas of AI+Graphs (I think this is mostly Graph Neural Networks, not sure if anything else?).

For instance, I found PyG and Deep Graph Library but the use cases are so jargon-heavy [1], [2], I'm not sure about the real world applications, in layman terms.

> So the free will animates or allows these organisms to behave randomly at times mostly to enjoy unique traits and characteristics and preferences, but also to learn how to be like God and to love too. But this requires that it be a choice, to the extent of someone's knowledge of who God is.

You seem to be avoiding my core point or simply don’t understand it. God created everything or he did not. If I program a game world and beings within it if I don’t introduce outside entropy through a RNG or other outside input then it will be deterministic and no choice the virtual beings inside make will not be able to be predicted.

If God uses outside entropy then there is something he did not create there is a larger universe bigger than him from which he can draw outside input on to feed his creations to test them on their non deterministic choices and punish them for making the wrong ones. Otherwise he is testing for something he already knows the outcome of which makes no sense.

> He did not, except to the extent that he allows choice in matters of love or no love and the ultimate consequence of this to be reflected on a temporary physical world. Sin is more like evil - it is the absence of something

Sorry this is nonsense, the ability to “not love” was choice that god created, evil does not exist without god first creating it unless he did not create everything.

I'd love to see your sources for this. To the best of my knowledge it isn't even close and solar is several times cheaper that nuclear. They used to be more comparable a decade or two ago, but solar costs have dropped dramatically since then.

Actually, I think the death of radio very plausibly improved rock music! In the mid-90s, Q101 determined a lot of what I was listening to. By 2002, it was Pitchfork† (for better or worse, not a week in my life goes by where at some point I do not hear the words "I am Ringo, elephant of Beatles worship" in my head). I probably got more good bands from Soma.fm Indie Pop Rocks, which I only followed for like 3 months, than I got in a decade of listening to the radio.

Kurt Cobain wrote "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter" because of the dynamic Beato is euologizing here. Long before Clear Channel, Modern Rock radio was mostly about sanding down the edges of acts and finding ways to make success repeatable; it took the Meat Puppets that wrote "Oh, Me" and made them write "Backwater"; took Pearl Jam and ground it into the Stone Temple Pilots, and finally into Candlebox. The Candlebox discography doesn't lie: it happened to us before the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Watch the video again. Beato really does blame the decline of rock on labels no longer paying to make more of the tracks on an album good. Come on, that is a genuinely weird thing to say, isn't it?

† I am aware of the arc of quality that Pitchfork traversed since the early 2000s.

Signal definitely makes life easier for terrorists and child predators; the question is whether it has decent uses whose benefits outweigh that cost. (And, while I'm cautiously in favour of cryptography, I don't think that question is by any means trivial). Cryptocurrency has no such positive use cases; the only case where it has an advantage over regular payment methods is crime.

The bitcoin network is ultimately controlled by the economic weight of its largest holders. If the big funds control enough bitcoin, they will have the power to pick which fork holds value.

A hypothesis is outlined in the article I linked to above.
https://www.geneticlifehacks.com/weight-loss-genetics-obesit...

"If the adenovirus infections are playing a role in our obesity epidemic, this would need to be due to infections rising, starting around the early 1980s, when obesity levels started steadily increasing.

I mentioned above that obesity has doubled since 1980 — and that adenovirus seropositivity had doubled by the mid-2000s (Swedish study).

Here’s the CDC graph again – looking at the green lines (dashed green is women and solid green is men)

One piece of the puzzle as to why this could be happening is the increase in kids in daycare, which has been rising since the 80s. A study looking at overweight kids (9-12) found that Ad-36 increased the risk of obesity by 3-fold and that kids who were in daycare before age 24 months were also at an almost 3-fold risk of obesity.[ref]

Another interesting puzzle piece is that Ad36 was first isolated in 1978 in Germany.[ref] (This may not mean that it first existed in 1978, though, just that it wasn’t well-known before then. Other adenoviruses were identified in the 1930s.)"

I used a leaky analogy, so I'll explain more precisely what I mean. When someone tries to sell their MLM, they pretend that they want to help you get rich, but it's obvious that they just want to help themselves. I get the same vibe from Bitcoin enthusiasts. For example, they'll claim that Bitcoin will help the poor in countries with hyperinflation but that seems disingenuous. Perhaps it's not fair to expect the regular Bitcoin holder to actively help the unbanked thousands of miles away, but there doesn't even seem to be a curiosity in the entire Bitcoin community about whether it's actually it's actually used that way, let alone how to encourage adoption and what the macroeconomic implications of this.
> If you need an L2 transaction layer to solve an issue inherent to an L1 chain, you're kinda just admitting that the base layer is flawed.

On a similar note, TCP is an admission that IP is flawed. And HTTP is proof that the entire networking stack is a scam.

Clearly, any decent networking protocol would handle any and all information interchange anyone could ever need.

The fact that HTTP is on its third iteration, and it’s still built in top of the same Internet Protocol from 1974, proves that _nothing_ has changed. /s

The legal trouble for getting it wrong is only if you don't pay what you owe after the IRS sends a correction. Most high income people are sufficiently liquid that this isn't an issue. It's only an issue if you are heavily leveraged and micromanaging cash flow, in which case any large unplanned cost is potentially ruinous.

The reason that bitcoin's energy usage is a philosophical nightmare is because it's a system where energy consumption is the product. As opposed to industries which are "merely" energy-intensive, let's take aluminum refining for example, spending more energy to refine aluminum does not create more demand for aluminum, but spending more energy on bitcoin increases the price of bitcoin, which induces more demand, which increases the price, which incentivizes mining, which costs more energy, and so on in a vicious cycle. Proof of work is a problem; it's conspicuous consumption on a hyper-industrial scale, and it's coming at the absolute worst time in human history for us to be wasting energy, let alone to be inventing the optimal machine for wasting energy at an increasing rate.

Ultimately, this being is the one who created reality and decides the limits of what can be known because he is the one furthest in knowledge and prediction powers. God does predict.

No, it’s the opposite. The term regressive tax refers to a tax that is applied uniformly regardless of income. Regressive taxes take a larger percentage of income from low-income earners than from middle-and high-income earners.

One of the main purposes of section 174 is to help foster “research or experimental expenditures”. However, the new section 174 rules are actively discouraging and effectively penalizing companies for incurring these costs because of the significant tax increase they may face as a result.

So it’s the employees who are losing their jobs due to the tax, directly. It impacts those who are working for an hourly wage, not the owners. You could argue that the owners have a shoe in the game because they can hire fewer people, which is true, but it’s actually killing software engineering jobs and it’s the penalty to employment that makes it regressive. It’s evenly applied but the effect is uneven. A regressive tax takes a higher proportion of earnings from lower-income households than those with higher incomes… that’s my point.

The top income earners don’t get hit by tax changes killing their positions, so the real threshold is whether someone is getting paid a salary or not. It deeply impacts salaried employees, not owners. Owners just have one fewer employee. That software engineer is out of a job. And it’s happening at scale and having a much larger impact than I think a lot of people realize.

Hope that makes more sense. I’m sorry if I was unclear. It’s been a day my friend… :)

I get the theory, but I've seen the effects of that decision.

The pre-objectivity police StackOverflow was sooo much more useful (2010ish). 85% of the top 1000 questions had incredibly well written and insightful answers to subjective questions. Things like "How do I become a better software engineer?" which is far more useful than "How can I rename a local Git branch?"

For a time these bled out into other smaller stack exchange communities, but many eventually fell to the objectivity police.

Start with just a simple graph of the feds fund rate, https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FEDFUNDS. Rates were going up before then, but it's right about Sept/Oct when they reached a level that was a ~15 year high.

Rates weren't the only factor (and, of course, the increase in rates was caused by the inflation that was a result of both supply shocks and the government paying people a lot of money to do nothing), but I think they were the prime factor as to why it felt like things switched on a dime so quickly, because it was the forcing function that essentially caused all projects that could no longer compete with 5% t-bills to immediately get killed.
Speaking of Bitcoin specifically, if this is your view then you should take some time to understand the severe societal and economic problems that come with persistent deflation.

MtGox thieves evaded prosecution because no one was doing tracing back then. Chainalysis got started specifically to link all their activity and is now a giant graph connecting all the "pseudonymous" addresses. And the thieves laundered most of their stolen coin through exchanges, not chain transactions, strange how they didn't want that very strong privacy. There's none of that left on Bitcoin, it's been indexed, clustered and mapped.

Obviously there are technologies which enable complete privacy - and like tumblers, any that prove popular will be shut down, there's just too many negative externalities.

This is the point worth reflecting on. Why it's called "monopoly"

In 1904, inventor Lizzie Magie patented The Landlord’s Game, at its heart an educational tool to teach players about taxes. The Landlord’s Game is the same concept and mechanism—players travel around a game board, buy properties, and pay each other rent. But there are crucial differences. For one thing, the game is criticizing, not celebrating, landlords: The purpose is to show players how rents put money into the coffers of fatcat landlords while impoverishing tenants. There are monopolist and anti-monopolist versions of the rule set. Darrow’s 1935 version, while in many ways a copy of Magie’s, misses the original point: The goal of his game is to revel in the fantasy of being a land-grabbing property owner who bleeds renters dry and uses under-the-table deals to create structural inequality. Barring incredible dice luck, you can only win at Monopoly by dominating trades.
