Your “correction” is that you imagine that one owner might use a different word in his head to refer to the value of a company than the word that another owner committed to public record?
Thats it (afaik), and it could be for the usual, dismissive reasons, but its easy to hand-waive the "make primality a part of the work" part but it also comes down to the properties of the work that require it to be useful:

the difficulty of the work must be adjustable,

the difficulty/reward ratio must scale to the polynomial of users/work-rate to avoid sybil/"51% (31%)" attacks, and dissuade volatility during transitions

must be easily verifiable,

Primecoin uses Cunningham Chain primes - basically sequences of primes where 2x+1 is prime.

They are marginally useful with other applications on the horizon.

I could see adjusting the arbitrary rule-set - similar to the varying rulesets of cellular automata, like Conways - to further Number Theory/Game Theory/Swarm Economics at a general interdisciplinary level to be the most potentially rewarding, covering a larger swath of unknown unknowns.
I agree with the effortfulness that he writes about here. Thinking involves an effort and concentration, that we tend to avoid if not necessary and use shortcuts. I started out enjoying coding a lot and enjoying the learning process that required the hard thinking.

For me, about a decade ago, it was going from working on a Winforms app to rewriting it to a web app. We went from about 4 layers to about 6 layers including a .net web api and javascript. Instead of creating business logic classes, most of the work went into plumbing the layers. Instead of being fairly simple, the UI became a slog to get right, and there were constant distractions of code design that looked sloppy in the new layers. Also I think the ASD (or is it ADHD) made it harder to overlook those messy layers. I've never had much patience for the boring stuff and those mental distractions made it harder to persevere through rewriting it.

These days I enjoy hobby coding in python and go, but I find it hard to imagine going back to it as a job.
In a world where nuclear power helped with climate change, would also be a world where Teslas would eliminate a good chunk of harmful pollution by allowing cars to be moved by nuclear, so not sure what point you were trying to make.

You've done great work Jason. I was cleaning my desk last week and came across your business card, which I probably got from you at some DefCon while buying one of your excellent productions. Keep up the great work!
Canada is probably also in large part “the US” - there are no direct flights there from the US. Why we keep up this idiotic embargo is anyone’s guess.

Interesting topic! Completely disagree with his take though.

> The centrality of computing stems from the fact that it is a technology that has been changing the world for the past 80 years, ever since the British used early computing to change the tide of war in World War II.

I take issue with the idea hinted at here. Just like Algebra and other branches of mathematics were invented to deal with daily down-to-earth issues like accounting or farming, you'd be hard pressed to find a consensus that mathematics "aims to explain the real world".

The historical origin is very clear, but the train left the "real world" station pretty fast, "unreasonable effectiveness" notwithstanding. Am I to understand that because Enigma was broken using a physical machine, the field is bound to study physical reality? To me this feels as uncomfortable as to refer to astronomy as "telescope studies".

> I believe that thinking of TCS as a branch of mathematics is harmful to the discipline. [...]
> Theories that fail at this “explain/predict” task would ultimately be discarded. Analogously, I’d argue that the role of TCS is to explain/predict real-life computing

Yeah, if you hired me to design harmful approaches, not in a year I would have come up with something as harmful as this.

I'm no fan of communism but that's a reductive take. China of today is communist in name only, but it's still very centrally managed, and that didn't stop China from becoming a global economic superpower. One could say something similar for Japan of the early 20th century, or, to a lesser extent, South Korea in the 60s when the economy was very much centrally planned under a dictator.
Musk believes Tesla without FSD is "worth basically zero": https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tesla-worth-basica...

The myth that shareholders largely care about short-term returns has been disproved empirically over the last 30 years. Every mammoth stock exploded due to assumptions about revenues far, far into the future (dotcom stocks, FATMANG stocks, crypto.) And this should come as no surprise: company valuations are the discounted value of future returns after all.

More often, companies shill bullshit, inestimable long-term growth (AI-bullshit for example) to pump price. Tesla is the poster-child of this strategy.

In contrast, short-term thinking/marketing is a sure fire way to annihilate a stock. Why would the next buyer pay a premium for a squeezed orange?

The dark reality is that most things we customers and employees complain about as “short-term thinking” are tremendously profitable over the long run.

This automation is inevitable. The ports are a choke point created by unnatural monopoly and a labor union is the incorrect solution. Particularly because their labor actions have massive collateral damage to other labor interests.

It's tough to get an accurate sense of the economics of teaching hospitals. Much of the analysis comes down to highly subjective management accounting decisions about how to allocate fixed costs to various cost centers. Residents (especially the junior ones) require a lot of supervision by attending physicians, and much of that work isn't directly billable. The fact that those hospitals aren't rushing to voluntarily take on more residents indicates that the programs are net losers without government subsidies.
> In contrast, traditional hosting might cost around $20 USD a month

Hosting that is vastly more powerful than a RPI in the first place. And there are much cheaper VPS that costs only a dozen dollars a year, too, and can do a lot more than this rpi. No matter how you look at it this is not saving any money.
Replace "communism" with "centralized economy" and I think you make a fair point about a single CPU.

Communism can be centralized or decentralized (see the early definition of "soviet", which was a local and decentralized council-based power structure, intentionally created to counteract centralized Czarist influence... how full circle we've come).

Communism tends to give rise to centralized committees controlling the economy, but so can fascism, or even relatively benign democratic organs like the EPA. Communism has other faults, unrelated to centralization. Notably, the removal of economic incentive, and its replacement with wishful thinking about man's higher instincts to donate personal time and effort to fellow man, doesn't align with reality in either a centralized or decentralized economy.

> $30 Million Is All It Took to Shift the Odds in Trump’s Favor on Polymarket

> The huge buy is further proof that predictive betting sites are only a reflection of what degenerate gamblers are willing to spend.

This is incredibly dismissive, not to mention outright ad hominem.

$30 million is a lot and it should be expected that such an amount should noticeably shift odds.

Gizmodo seem to have missed that such a shift is precisely how markets work: the shift in odds creates a financial incentive to bet against that (allegedly) overpriced outcome, putting downward pressure on the odds and equilibrating them back to a 'fair' market price and implied-probability.

Betting markets aren't perfect, but nor are analysts, simulators, or pollsters! Pollsters (and economists) have a habit of public 'herd' behaviour. Suppose you think X, but everyone else thinks Y, you're incentivised to say (publicly) you think Y, just to avoid looking stupid if it turns out Y.

Betting markets are different because there's stake involved - real money is lost if the wrong outcome is predicted. That is, there's a hefty cost imposed on being wrong.

I'd call that luck. Wait until a bad or stupid actor gets to power. This is the main problem with communism. It all depends on one single person and how they are.
Communism will never work due to human ambition. There will be corruption, nobody will ever be equal. I have no opinion on who determines what other than corruption.

Cuba is full of rich and futile soil ripe for crops but the government owns the land and forbids it.

No system with humans will ever be perfect but communism doesn’t seem to be the answer.

Sports analogies are good, but:

Any% (Anything goes to get to the "end") Video game speedruns may be ideal - a shortcut can always be found, used by everyone to quickly become zero sum + 1, then the equilibrium re-approaches optimization; but on average, gets harder and harder, as the shortcuts take skill/power/time. It also is hard to do, and easy(ish) to verify.

For linear things that hardly have any variance, you can look at longest lifespans of humans. Notably; where living 18 months longer than the next person

I meant even if you’re operating nuclear as baseload power looking forward the market rate for electricity looks rough without significant subsidies.

Daytime you’re facing solar head to head which is already dropping wholesale rates. Off peak is mostly users seeking cheap electricity so demand at 2AM is going to fall if power ends up cheaper at noon. Which means nuclear needs to make most of its money from the duck curve price peaks. But batteries are driving down peak prices.

Actually cheap nuclear would make this far easier, but there’s no obvious silver bullet.
That Sunni in Homs that you want to ventriloquize (do...do you actually know any Sunnis from Homs? Seriously dude. Do you get why its extremely gross to use their suffering for point scoring?) wasn't under Hezbollahs boot in 1982, when it was formed to resist an Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon. This is what I mean when I say your definition of "occupation" is doing an incredible amount of ideological lifting, and why it is, in fact, a resistance movement. You haven't responded to the link I provided nor provided any of your own to buttress an part of your own argument, which is pretty telling I think. Do you actually know anything, literally anything at all about the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon? Thats a serious question and if you want to respond to me I'd ask you to respond, in detail, to that. Because the idea that the Lebanese were just peachy keen over their country being invaded and brutalized, for years and years, until the Iranians planted an occupation force in their midst is... its kind of gross man! The idea that the Lebanese right now were just fine with the slaughter in Gaza and its only the evil Persians and their scheming who are whipping up antizionist sentiment...that kind of argument has a history. You can point to the horror show of the Syrian Civil War all you want, that came literally two plus decades after Hezbollah was formed. I'm not sure if its intentional or not, but I see you have now tightened your argument to say "Hezbollah under Nasrallah". Kind of looks like a shifting goalpost to me. Do you believe it was a resistance movement and then degenerated under Nasrallah? Seems germane!
> Now they can and they do. Which is why the airlines love that the government "forces" them to check your ID.

Where is this happening? On over 100 domestic flights post-9/11, I've never had an airline review my ID - only on international flights has this occurred.

The TSA or their private equivalent will match your ID to a boarding pass, but even now that's going away at major airports in favor of ID scans.

Regardless, given the above: there's nothing stopping you from booking a refundable fare on Airline B (or even a $0 Frontier flight), using that boarding pass to get through security, and then using whatever name you want on a flight with Airline A.

B2B founder, selling a software product and as little as possible services.

We built up a partner network worldwide, so we had to find relevant partners who would help serve our potential customers in the relevant way that already had those customers. They are easyish to find and approach because they are trying to achieve a similar goal, although sometimes more generically if they are integrators (selling software, hardware and services). Sometimes they sell a competitive product so our USP had to be tight - such as not requiring a year of services to start up but maybe an hour or two.

Others were complimentary tech partners and very kindly helped spread the word, and got a foot in the door for direct engagement.

If each partner has 10 good customers, then thats 10 partners you have to engage with. We were more often than not involved with the relationship with the customer, and got direct knowledge of the customer problem, how well we fit solving the problem, identify UX issues, sales issues, support issues etc..

It’s been a successful way to start.
