That's not good enough. It needs to be mandatory that these services be implemented as physical, user-removable modules. A software opt-in can never be really trusted.

Crypto is a way to store and exchange things over the internet without counterparty risk. Crypto has value for the same reason gold has value beyond its practical use. Think SVB type situations or needing to flee a country that just became a dictatorship.

The article espouses a very US centric view where the government is a trusted arbiter of all financial transactions and there is always a trusted third party to take on counterparty risk. This is obviously not the case all over the world.

The question is how much is that actually worth and can it support crypto's current market capitalization?

Crypto also has value as being able to create digital scarcity and ownership. For example, when you play games online today and you purchase cosmetic items or you play magic the gathering and buy cards, it's pretty silly that you only own a license to use those things for as long as the game exists and there is no way to trade them.

The above concept obviously falls flat when there is no effective scarcity, ie when everyone and their mother can produce nfts that are just jpegs with no actual use. Compare this to a magic the gathering or pokemon card that is just cardboard but still manages to maintain its value.

No, although anecdotally some people find they can't eat high-fat foods any more. It has changed my reaction to hyperpalatable foods though, in that I don't really get the buzzing "just smoked a cigarette" effect from them any more.

Not if you don't ramp your dosage up too quickly, but if you were to overdo it, then I guess it would.

> The gravity of the Earth absolutely changes the speed of the probe.

Wait! Wouldn't Earth's gravity take away when departing just as much as given when arriving? However, the probe's direction could change based on how close it passes Earth.

As the probe passes Earth, a mass proportionate amount of Earth's velocity would be shared to the probe. I have a distant grade-school memory of an analogy of two people on a roller-skate rink. The passing and passed persons link hands and some of the passed person's velocity is emparted to the passing person's velocity.
> You don’t get something for nothing

If that were true about the human condition in the same way that it’s true for conservation of mass, we wouldn't be living longer and healthier lives than our forebears. Yet here we are.

Of course we should be aware of side-effects. But there’s no law of nature that says there have to be any serious ones.

Semaglutide will fall out of patent protection in 2031 in the US, earlier in other countries. Drug patents do last 20 years (in the US), but the patent date is always some time before the medication is first sold. You also don't get a new patent for finding a new application of the same drug. So a diabetes treatment drug that's now used for weight loss without sufficient modification will expire at the same time as it originally would have even if it gets a new marketing name. Different formulations based on the original drug could get a new patent, though.
I encountered this with Apple Music / Musicmatch. Tracks I'd ripped from original CDs were replaced with different recordings. Some were actually better, but most weren't, and I kept running into region blocking on tracks I theoretically had ripped and held in my library (ie, I have CDs I bought when traveling to country AA, ripped them in the US, added them to iTunes, but when I turned on Apple Music and allowed my library to be "uploaded" or matched to the cloud I lost access to these tracks). I no longer subscribe to Apple Music and reverted to manually managing an mp3 library, or using Spotify (which definitely swaps tracks in and out of playlists).

I simply yanked the Data Communications Module (DCM) fuse on my GR Corolla, but that has the unfortunate side-effect of also disabling the microphone. That means the only way for me to take hands-free phone calls is with the speaker phone option, so I've simply stopped taking phone calls at all when I'm driving.

When researching how I might be able to do something more surgical I ran across this post by someone who did it with their Tacoma:

I'll certainly be giving it a try on my GR Corolla now so I can get the microphone back while still keeping the DCM disabled.

Bar for admission and bar for success are very different things. MIT admits ~1100 students a year, but far more than 1100 globally have the drive and ability to succeed in the program. So they have to set some criteria. If the filter is arbitrarily "must have a 1580 SAT score to get in" and the applicant has 1560 instead, that doesn't mean they are doomed to fail.

I usually think of "red pill" as "You learn some piece of information, the implications of which lead to your perception of the world expanding in a large and meaningful way that belies your earlier perception of the world and forces a reassessment of prior experiences".

I think of "black pill" as a GMO'd red pill designed to nudge the "learner" into a position of learned-helplessness.

Take a common aphorism around here: "99% of startups fail, so you shouldn't bother trying". The red pill is "failure is the most common modality for new ventures", but the attached advice makes it a black pill.

In a meta way, the linking of the term "red pill" to misogyny/misandry turned the red pill concept itself into a black pill (why bother seeking "red pills" if the "community" most identified with them is so disturbing?).

Running programs in a decentralized, trustworthy way is useful for a million usecases.

One of the things this article gets wrong is how "facts about the real world" are made available to smart contracts.

It states that this is done via "a conventional program" and it makes the whole system "pointless".

Oracles can be set up in a way so that they rely on an incentive structure just like the rest of the system.

Example: The DAI stable coin does not hold its peg to the dollar because a conventional program feeds the DAI/USD price into the system.
UPnP is just a generic discovery+RPC service. The router toggle is just for whether it should expose a service to let apps request temporary port forwarding (mostly used by torrent clients and game servers). The advice to disable it is because that ability is considered undesirable, not because there's anything wrong with the protocol itself.
> Forgings have the added advantage of variable grain direction which generally can be tailored to the stress patterns of a specific design.

This is a super underappreciated fact! It's often repeated that forging is just stronger, but just squishing steel does NOT make it stronger. Forging a part is so much more than just smashing it into a shape.

Steel cable is made of pretty ordinary steel which is stretched 100s of times its original length. That process alone makes it 2-4x stronger in that direction. You stretch steel and it gets stronger in that direction.

Do you see how complicated that optimization process becomes? The process steps are not just trying to take it to the final shape. Your piston rod needs to be strong lengthwise, so you actually want to start with a short fat ingot and stretch it out instead of one that is near-final size.

Think of making an I-beam. You could hammer out the middle, making it thinner. That would give you a bit of strength there but very little on the edges. If you instead pull the edges out, you create a long continuous stretch that will be very strong against bending. Where, how, and in what order you stretch makes all the difference. You may want to leave extra material and cut it off later, so that your grains are all oriented together instead of tapering to a point.

For any moderately complex part, this process is as complicated as modern engineering problems. With poor steel you genuinely need to understand how to foster and bring out those continuous lines or your corkscrew will unwind like playdough. Blacksmiths had a legitimately intellectual job back in the day!

I can agree to an extent, mainstream conservatives don't understand what really going on.

But my point stand. They look around, see things are changing, and don't like that. They never stop to examine the actual ground for that change. That's how your average conservative operates, and how your bottom-of-the-barrel conservative operates too.

In that sense, they are fundamentally anti-solution because they're anti-change (specifically, new change)

That, to you, is fringe? I know you don't actually believe that because I know I'm right. This is how conservatives operate, and I don't understand how anyone could debate it.

Yes, the METHOD of Project 2025 is fringe. The GOAL, which is CONSERVING, is not fringe. It's very simple to understand, I've explained it a few times now. The method is the part people are really scared of, because it's the closest the right-wing party in the US has gotten to fascism in a long time.

IANAD, but anecdotally it has been seen that a substantial - and arguably worrisome - amount of the weight loss is in lean body mass[0], so probably. GLP-1 agonists are for many obese and at-risk diabetics a worthwhile trade-off. Losing that last pesky 10 lbs. because you don't want to give up your daily 500 calorie latte? Probably not.

You could hope that Android Studio's emulator / modded Waydroid or WSA would work for a while. At most you'd be buying time. Seriously, just keep the phone and fix your own unwanted habits instead. You'd be wasting your time fighting the checks and blocks they have put in place. At some point strict hardware attestation will be both very strong and ubiquitous enough that it will be impossible to run apps with high security requirements in custom environments. Google and Apple have no incentive to let loose either, unless they are forced to, which I unfortunately don't see happening.

Everything you gain from gravity you have to give back on the way out. You can change the shape of your orbit that way, for example rotating it or making it more elliptical. But if we are talking about gaining energy from a gravity assist it would be more accurate to describe that as stealing some of the rotational energy of the planet.

A Prototype for Quantum-Secure, Mathematically Uncrackable Encryption Streams
By felix / 18 August 2024

Alternative title: Why One Time Pads are impossible within the universe.

Abstract

We present a prototype of a novel encryption scheme, designed to be a quantum-secure and mathematically uncrackable (given a perfect random seed) scheme that can prolong a One Time Pad (OTP) indefinitely by reconstructing new keys using contextual knowledge available to the receiving party. The scheme leverages a unique combination of one-time pad encryption and a reconstructive hashing mechanism to create a stream cipher where the hashed key is brute-forced and verified on the client side using existing knowledge. The sacrifice is in the potential for infinite false positives leading to the need for infinite computing resouce to decrypt, not the security, and the general need for more resource and bandwidth for the connection (3*data). It’s security significantly not compromised by potential false positives in decryption given even as few as 3 random seed chars. Therefore, the insecurity of the scheme is closer to the metaphysical domain than any viable mathematically definable dimension. However, the same insecurity is true for any OTP possible within the universe, unless it is transmitting purely random data. False positives are mitigated to a potentially usable level through contextual knowledge, continually saved until the message is complete. For any non-infinite message there is always the possibility to decrypt, given appropriate resources. This makes any message that is under a certain size always possible to decrypt even with imperfect error checking, and this might mean false positives are potentially infinitely unlikely in this context: This encryption paradigm aligns with emerging concepts in mainstream science regarding the physical nature of knowledge, and potentially opens the discussion about a mathematical proof that the universe can last forever.
Figures that the only push-back against pervasive surveillance that would have any chance of success is when the military points out that it is a threat to national security.

The main thing surveillance cameras create is distrust between neighbors, and to enable businesses to better ignore the community they are in.
