SEEKING FREELANCER(S) | Remote | Web3 PvP NFT project

I am working on a Web3 project that taps into NFTs and PvP mechanics, with the potential to go viral. The concept is unique and hasn't been seen before. It will be launched on the Base chain.

Am looking for the following people:

* Front-end developer to help build out the interface
* Social media operator to build hype on socials and manage the Discord

I built and launched a v1 prototype of the project [0], and am taking the lessons from that to launch a much improved v2 that will (hopefully) be more viral.

To apply, email: team [at] v42 [dot] space

Hi! I'm the author of this document. It indeed covers some concepts that will sound trivial for people experienced like you. However, I am not a cryptography researcher (only a developer passionate about performance and optimization) and nor is my entourage. So I wrote this also for people like them.

Still, I tried my best getting into the details, but I learned a lot while developing this hash function, and I still have plenty to learn especially regarding security. That is one of the reasons I made it open source: get feedback from more seasoned peers and improve this :).
I suspect it's mostly "because it occured to me I could," which I think should always be an acceptable reason for building something slightly unusual.

I do rather like the idea of play via stateless link passing, though, and honestly the "prettiness" of animations and interactivity does not, at least to me, seem like a net advantage.

"the right technologies" is highly dependent on the user experience you're trying to achieve; in this case I think I'd argue that for the goal at hand, these -were- the right technologies, just like for the UX goals of more featureful sites a different bundle of technologies were the right thing too.
The problem is that you need the infrastructure to create the e-fuel or H2 gas.

That infrastructure is expensive.

And will be sitting idle most of the time.
That's saying a lot given the other contenders are DEI folx.

Ugly situation.

Does he have an employment contract and on what terms? In some jurisdictions even no written contract can mean an implicit default contract, so you should consult a lawyer. And you may need to prove that you warned him about performance.

The other part are his 5%, but that usually is no hindrance for ending the employment. He will just stay on the cap sheet and can cash in later when you are successful. If that bothers you or your investor, you can try to make an offer (low, because he did not deliver). This is best to align with the investor and they make take those negotiations so you can focus on delivering.

Absolutely. I can feel but — but this is one/two calibration steps away from me not caring/noticing. I would be very hard pressed to believe this is where the magic human sauce will forever lie (or even more than +1 year), will fully acknowledging how weirdly off it feels right this moment. The progress is undeniably at a speed that surpasses anything I can process or adjust to. It's a rollercoaster ride.

I have no trouble believing the best (whatever that means to me) humans that have ever existed in 2 years will not be human. But I have trouble understanding.
I mean, that's who I would hire for trust and safety.
The difference is that 68K is designed as fundamentally a 32-bit architecture. (Even though the original implementation was physically 16-bit.)

Whereas 8086 is a 16-bit architecture with an extended address space.

The use of segmentation to enable a 16-bit architecture to address more than 64K was not original to the 8086, many 16-bit minicomputers (e.g. the PDP-11) used the same basic idea, although the specific implementation Intel chose was rather unique

Part of why the 8086 was 16-bit not 32-bit, was to make it easier to port software to it from the 8080, which was an 8-bit architecture with 16-bit addressing. It also was likely one of the reasons why the 8086/8088 was cheaper than the 68K, which is part of why IBM chose it over the 68K for the IBM PC
I think for most people it's far too late, as there exists at least something on the internet and that something is sufficient - photos can be aged virtually and a single photo is enough, voice doesn't change much and you need only a tiny sample, etc.

And that's the case even if you've never ever posted anything on your social media - it could be family&friends, or employer, or if you're ever been in a public-facing job position that has ever done any community outreach, or ever done a public performance with your music or another hobby, or if you've ever walked past a news crew asking questions to bystanders of some event, or if you've ever participated in some contests or competitions or sports leagues, etc, all of that is generally findable in various archives.

So now you need to wrap all your RUN lines in here docs?

Better defaults and/or an easier way to change the defaults would be good!

The previous commenter is right -- it's all very well to say "just read all the docs" or "it's consistent with the way other tools work", but sometimes both the docs and the tools can be made less error-prone for users.
Question is - how can pumped hydro be probably ever "maxed out"?

Let's say if we take all the (normal, not "pumped") hydro we have and increase number of turbines on them 10x, or 100x, and make them reversible, that will easily cover all the storage needs in terms of power. Of course, it will not produce more actual electricity than currently because the water in dams in finite, but it will produce almost as much as desired in terms of storage volume. Essentially it's up to "annual hydro output in TWh x 365". In reality, less because hydro output fluctuates in different seasons with the rainfall/river water release, but still... Isn't it way more than we could ever need?

Don't get how pumped hydro can ever be "maxed out".
Yeah, true, but it's an abysmal use of time.

I'm not a touch typist 150 WPM weenie, but the "1-2 fingers per hand" hunt and peck typists are EXTREMELY slow. Think 10-20 WPM, lots of errors, etc.

The worst thing about the western style censorship is that it’s completely useless for the cause.

For example, the internet is filled with blatant hate speech and racism, but because they don’t use the keywords or don’t show the designated symbols, that’s allowed.

However, the speech that doesn’t have intent of harm, it’s just a joke or have incidental content with symbols or words that are considered harmful, is banned.

In the last few years, it came to such a ridiculous point that The most oppressive regimes in terms of freedom of speech are those who claim to be the “free world”. They are also very unforgiving, you can’t apologize and move on. They will cut you off and never talk to you again. Even if they were right with their position, they don’t value you as a human being and if the cost to win you back is non-zero, they discard you. That’s fascism.

It’s not only that the speech is oppressed. Also, the product quality is greatly degraded because of this. It’s the worst aspect of everything, in proper fascist or communist systems at least you get some benefits like clean streets or free education.
If any of your relatives would punch me for whatever reason, the correct reaction would be to go to the police and take them to court. Just because you are upset does not mean you can suggest physical violence like that, just casually. Sticks and stones, you know...
As a counter to this I'll bring up that the Swedish Bank-ID works on all of my devices, all of which are Google-free and have root access, most of which run LineageOS. The Bank-ID client throws up a warning that it "needs Google services to work" after which it continues to work fine without it. I do tend to use older devices - waste not, want not - so things may have changed somewhere past Android 11.

> Can it just do my entire job for me?

All AIs up to now lack autonomy. So I'd say until we crack this problem, it is not going to be able to do your job. Autonomy depends on a kind of data that is iterative, multi-turn, and learning from environments not from static datasets. We have the exact opposite, lots of non-iterative, off-policy (human made AI consumed) text.

I’m not sure I’d put it like that (again anyways, I had a bad time when I did), but it is a really important point: when did these folks start legislating from Atherton or whatever (Le Defense)?

Doing harmful shit via computers is already really friggin illegal, and if we need even more draconian computer crime laws? I say they get passed by like, a legislature or something.

Fuck private individuals and/or corporations arrogating regulatory power to themselves.

its possible. Right now ai + robotics has been a big area of research for a while, and its very good at some tasks, see basically everything boston dynamics does wrt dynamically balancing. They help alongside control systems very well. However for multimodal task planning its not there. A year or two back I wrote a long comment about it but basically there is this idea of "grounding", basically connecting computer vision, object symbols/concepts, and task planning, which remains elusive. Its a similar problem with self driving cars - you want to be able to reason very strongly about things like "place all of the screws into the red holes" in a way that maps automatically to the actions for those things

What factors explain the nature of software?
No, it's not just "statements being made". It is laws being changed. It is money being made available. It is contracts being finalized. It is sites being designated and earth being moved.

The problem with nuclear was never technical, it was always political. Technically, it's a slam-dunk. For example, the entire nuclear industry cost France € 228 billion. It produced 11000 TWh of electricity. That's cheap. 2.07 Ct/kWh cheap. And reliable. And clean. Quick, too, France converted their electricity to nuclear (and virtually no fossil fuels) in 15 years, from a standing start.

And of course, all that action is accompanied by statements, yes.

So the fact that the politics have now changed is significant, even if "renewable bros" find that hard to accept.
For those who ask themselves which device to get to give LineageOS a try, I try to automatically compile a list of recommended models from the project's structured data that underpins its wiki. The list lives at https://johannes.truschnigg.info/tmp/lineageos_device_toplis... and is updated daily.

You post a link to a blog entry, which doesn't even have a listed author, and which looks like something a student cobbled together from the internet.

> No, I'm perfectly capable of understanding what the law says. It's the language itself that is vague and open to interpretation.

If you know what terms like "credit subject" and conditions like "subject to law" mean, then I suspect that the law you're reading is much less vague and open to interpretation. Legal documents like this use specialized terminology and assume a broader knowledge of the legal system and regulatory framework. Jeremy Daum, the person who actually translated the law you're citing, disagrees with your claims about the Social Credit System, which should be a tip-off that perhaps you don't understand the law you're reading.

> No, thank you. I don't need an "expert" to regurgitate what the law says.

Actually, you do need a legal expert to say what the law means. I don't think you're an expert on Chinese law, and when I read the law you're citing, I come to a very different interpretation. It looks to me like an attempt to limit the sorts of punishments local governments may apply to people who break certain types of laws.
The West is a too broad term, we have very different political systems among Western countries. In some of them cancel culture and big tech aren’t that strong. Besides, it is really different from USSR. Do you know any example in the West in XXI century where a poet or a writer were censored to death?

Author here. The Go channel send behavior could certainly be altered depending on the particular semantics of the application, but the reason I chose to use a non-blocking buffered channel is so that no particular subcomponent can slow down the distribution of notifications for everybody.

> Shouldn't the channel rather block than discard if full?

In Go, a blocking channel is one that's initialized without a size (see [1]). You could have a blocking channel where the sender uses a `select/default` to discard after it's full, but that leaves very little margin of error for the receiver. If it's still processing message 1, and then message 2 comes in and the notifier tries to send it, message 2 is gone.

IMO, better to use a buffered channel with some leeway in terms of size, and then write receivers in such a way that they clear incoming messages as soon as possible. i.e. If messages are expected to take time to process, the receiver spins up a goroutine to do so, or has another internal queue of its own where they're placed so that new messages from the notifier never get dropped.

In the contract it says at-will employment, so we can end his contract. We've asked, over period of 2+ years about the status of work, his availability.

When I have kept asking now for 3 months what the status of work is, if he can upload work done and share it with us so we can evaluate where we are, the response is 'there is nothing to share until it is done', that he has other responsibilities with other work etc, that he's busy and doesn't have time. No idea when he will finish it.

How can we evaluate his shares and give him an offer? what if he refuses?
It's not really an issue for him either. He's making truckloads of money. If he can do that without polluting his videos with sponsor segments then that's just better isn't it?

Personally I don't really mind them, they get automatically skipped by sponsorblock. But I'd that was no longer an option I'd prefer creators who weren't trying to sell me stuff in every video.

In my first software job I didn't have enough to do all day, my defined responsibilities were less than 15 hours a week. I found other useful stuff to do, but there was still a ton of downtime. This was in 1999, I had no phone to scroll. I read "Inside SQL Server" cover to cover (400 pages). This was a huge lift to me, I understood so much more about writing efficient queries and tuning - I was nearly fresh out of college and better at SQL than anyone else in my department. I'm still benefiting from this today, even though I haven't used SQL Server itself since 2008. New knowledge latches onto existing knowledge, and the gains accumulate your whole career.

I'm still in the habit of reading books when I pick up a new technology. It isn't necessary to get things done - I've never read a book on python but can still get things done in it - but making the book bedtime reading has been really effective. I don't try to memorize or apply everything, or even do the exercises. I just read it, and even if I don't remember the details, I'll know the features are there. How else will you learn what you don't know that you don't know?
FWIW if you're going to argue for non-renewable energy as a solution for filling in when renewable energy sources dip, nuclear energy doesn't help with any of that.

It's important to understand the way different kinds of power plants deliver energy:

- renewables (wind, solar, tides) are highly variable in their output and the amount of energy produced by each individual wind power plant or solar panel is very small; the output can be dialed down by turning off individual power plants but the amount to which it can be dialed up depends on the weather and is outside of human control

- fossil fuels (gas, coal, lignite) and bio fuels are highly dynamic in their output because you can literally just add or remove fuel to control it, making them very predictable; they are however also literally just burning fuel, i.e. producing energy by producing CO2, and usually have some costs associated with restarting (i.e. reheating) after being fully turned off

- nuclear reactors are extremely stable and can generate a consistent large amount of energy highly predictably; however shutting them off and turning them back on can take literal days and they usually need constant water supply for cooling in order to operate

In other words, water-cooled nuclear reactors are a bad choice in any region that may experience frequent droughts (which may be hard to predict with the changing climate) and they can best be understood as an "offset" for the baseline production.

A real-life energy grid is in constant flux. Loads change as appliances and machines get turned on or off, frequencies drift all the time and need to be readjusted and renewable production supply can change at a moment's notice.

If there is a high baseline that is currently served by fossil fuels, nuclear is worth considering as a replacement for that. But in most places where nuclear would be an option, that baseline can already be easily served mostly by renewables. What's needed is a way to time-shift the overproduction to a later time when renewable production drops. That means storage technologies, not power plants. And as a stop-gap fossils are better suited for filling in the gaps by idling at a low output and being boosted up as the output from renewables drops.
When I got started in this business 20 some years ago it was wildly diverse: you’d have like a biker-gang looking guy with hard right politics getting yelled at by a chick with bright pink hair, but it would be about bash or perl or something. Never about stupid political posturing.

We’ve managed to destroy the one profession with serious vertical class mobility where no one gave a fuck about your race or age or sexual orientation or politics or anything but can this person code, do they geek out.

The one thing we didn’t used to tolerate and now do is flagrant nepotism. Which seems like a step backwards on any of diversity, equity, or inclusion.
