Sorry, I'm not sure if I understand your question/statement.

What I wanted to say, is that in its current form, bitcoin IS money for some ultrarich people who have enough of it AND are able to access a commerce world where you can actually buy stuff with it without converting it to fiat currencies. Because last time I checked, I can't buy milk with BTC in my local supermarket, but I bet I can buy some luxury/illegal thing that cost absurd amounts of money (for the common folk) with BTC.

Therefor, the mantra of "Bitcoin is the future of money" that's being pushed by BTC/crypto enthusiasts, is false. It MIGHT be a form of money for people who have lots of it, but not the common folk, doing everyday purchases.

AWS, S3, Iceberg, Data Lakes and the Future of Simplicity
The best systems make hard things simple. Data lakes started as a great idea—scalable storage for diverse datasets—but as they grew, they got messy: fragmented files, clunky manual metadata, and trade-offs everywhere. S3 Tables and S3 Metadata fix this by baking management and discovery right into the storage layer. It’s a good example of how solving the right problem at the right level makes everything downstream easier.
> There isn't anything on Mars that would warrant a city.

That's your opinion and it's irrelevant to those who are more ambitious and curious than you. On top of that, you're taking out of your rear, because you haven't explored Mars or any other planet. You have no clue what is out there.

> You are covering your complete lack of argument with condecention and absolutely nobody is buying it.

You seem thoroughly confused. I'm not selling anything. Free individuals can choose the future they want. Stop being a toddler.

The simple fact is there are many men who want to do something. There is no other justification an individual needs in order to pursue their ambitions. They don't answer to you and never will.

Large-scale production of e-fuel is now feasible, argues Terraform Industries
Editorialized title to make it fit.
Solar power is def shaking up the energy landscape, with plummeting panel costs making it a real contender against fossil fuels and disrupting energy markets and grid dynamics. Will that hold with TRUMPian global economics remains to be seen. The article also points to challenges like storage and integration, but what’s interesting is the mention of direct air capture (DAC) as a potential game-changer. While evidence from others about the feasibility of DAC is slim, if the lofty claims hold up, it could reshape renewables and open up big investment opportunities.

Curious on HN's take—is this just Hyperloop tech-bro hype, or is there something worth betting on here?
People go bankrupt all the time in the US. That doesn't mean they starve to death.

> Would personal bankruptcy result in both he and his offspring living in poverty?

Musk did spend time in the US with no money. He got a job. It was a dirty job cleaning industrial machinery. A job anyone with a willingness to work could get.

Instead of doing all this guessing and assuming and making up things about Musk, why not read an actual biography of him? The one I read is by Vance:

https://www.amazon.com/Elon-Musk-SpaceX-Fantastic-Future/dp/...

It costs $1.32. No excuses!
Storing facts is a poor proxy for acquired knowledge or skill. When you are good at something, you know a lot of facts. Trying to memorize facts to get good at something is inverting the order of factors. You memorize a lot of facts about a domain because you spent a lot of time and attention in it. But finding shortcuts to memorize facts won't in fact give you the actual knowledge and skills, just a way to mimic them convincingly.

Yes, it is wrong. Regalar people are allowed to put money in SIPP's that can have their IHT relief or anything changed at the whim of the government but actualy regulated companies are a no-no. The UK is going down hill fast.

What we really need is exposure limits. Most trading platforms and even pensions ask you all kind of questions about income and wealth. There is no reason we can't simply have simple rules around percent of wealth invested in higher risk stuff. It would at least be better than literally instituting a class system and making things inaccessible to a large percentage of people.
If we did this fifty years ago, we’d be having this discussion by snail mail.
Interesting use of an LLM to help us write better and more organized documentation. What prompt did you use? What are your thoughts on the outcome?
> at most universities he could have been terminated for cause

Is that really true? In my country, there are employment laws to prevent the suffering of detriment post reporting of an incident, grievance, or violation, even if (especially if) the claim is found baseless.

It’s important for these regulations to exist because without them some people fear reporting true problems as they may lose their job, and the wrongdoers do more wrong in such a culture.

Processes should deal with baseless, frivolous, or even vexatious claims far in advance of any consideration of termination of employment.

But I’m clueless on US labor laws, apart from a general suspicion they’re relatively thin.
FM synthesis is a bit like Lisp--everybody says it's cool, but getting acceptable results is harder than with another approach. When I need FM, I use Arturia's _DX7 V plugin and only play presets.

> A challenge is that it’s not easy to limit hallucinations without also limiting imagination and synthesis.

> In humans.

True, but distinguishing reality from imagination is a cornerstone of mental health. And it's becoming apparent that the average person will take the confident spurious affirmations of LLMs as facts, which should call their mental health into question.
On the other hand IIRC postmen who walk rather than stand are healthy?
But that's the point I'm making.

BTC was "advertised" as either the money of the future, which it is not, or an investment instrument that allows you to bypass government restrictions, which again, it is not, at least not for the common folks.

At this point, it's just a very volatile investment/speculation instrument.
So think of it as a concise objective way to settle what is blue color from white color, for purposes of a study.

No definition will be perfect, but this one does pretty well as you point out.

It also naturally provides an objective gradation, which many definitions that stand in for blue collar” or sit in for “white collar” won’t provide.
One cool use case for this could be "generative hybrid video meetings"; when I participate in a teams meeting and the majority is in the same physical room, the video conference software could read the wall camera video feed and generate individual video streams of each person as if they sat just in front of me.

Of all things this must be the most boring use case for this crazy looking new technology. But hybrid video meetings have always annoyed me and I think to myself that surely there must be a better way (and why hasn't it arrived yet?).
All industrial sectors requires energy, and the prices here in the EU are obscene compared to the USA.

Renewables are actually making it worse. We now have the "problem" that renewables cause spikes and saturation of the grid, and instead of causing low prices, the energy companies penalizes their customers. Claims it's due to renewables driving up grid maintenance costs because it was not built to handle the amount.

After all, energy produced _must_ be used or it will inevitably cause damage somewhere. For instance, you can't leave solar panels in the sun while they are not connected. If you don't use the energy, it will be turned into heat.

It's getting to the point where you actually are penalized for having rooftop solar. Most solar installations in the EU doesn't have a home battery, so either you have to give back surplus energy (electricity providers in some countries will actually charge you for this), or you can disconnect your solar if you overproduce but that will slowly damage your installation. Even if you don't plan to give back any energy, you still have to notify your provider that you have rooftop solar, if you don't it's a breach of contract, and if you do, they will charge you an extra maintenance cost.

It's funny because the government are pushing rooftop solar, but the energy providers are quietly telling their customers to fuck off with it.

But still even though the grid is absolutely full of cheap energy, and you should in theory pay very little, you still have to pay double or triple what those in the USA would ever pay.

Renewables are great, but also a shitshow because while we're building solar and wind installations, we're not building nearly enough grid storage.
> I will respectfully disagree

You haven't presented any evidence whatsoever for your conclusion. I've presented first hand, second hand, and documentary evidence for my case.

P.S. My dad also spent time stationed in France. He said the French made it very clear they wanted the USAF out. He said it was quite a contrast with Germany.

The contributors to nixpkgs for the most part, the whole thing is on github and it's one of (if not the) largest Linux package repo of any distro. You can override defaults easily. Security updates are handled by updating your nix channel and rebuilding the system, or updating your flake and a rebuild (if the maintainer has released a more recent version, if they haven't you can make an overlay and bump the version, add your own patches to the build or 'derivation'. Rollbacks are baked in until you remove them from the 'nix store'. You can configure all the things!
It's even better with the Dtronics expander, but still too much faff for me.

With power comes responsibility.

You want to own something? You need to be capable of keeping it safe. If not entrust it to someone who is and hope they don't steal it.

The same goes for everything in life.

The fiat banking system has demonstrated what it does when we trust it with our fiat money. It steals it (through zero-reserve banking aka infinite debasement).

With bitcoin I can audit the wallet they hold for me at any time (public keys) and know that they can't debase it.

They were telling the story in a retrospective manner as a reflection of today's issues. They said the video games and movie industries were "sickly" today. I addressed how that is wrong; not their memories.

You're either creating some non-existent argument out of bad faith, or have no idea what you're saying.
totally pointless to implement this honestly but I was disappointed it didn't support multi touch :p
A net positive in the long term matters little when it can mean a lifetime of unemployment to a generation of humans. It's easy to dismiss the human suffering incurred during industrialization when we can enjoy its fruits but those who suffered are long dead.

If 10-15% of American families live from paycheck to paycheck, it means pretty much everyone knows someone who’s struggling.

Another aspect of these numbers is how much of the ordinary expenses are not luxury items but things like a car (because public transport is terrible), childcare (because people need to work to pay for it and the car that’s needed to shuttle kids around) and some healthcare (because public healthcare is nonexistent).

Americans pay a lot of money for things other developed countries would say is a basic human right.

Shows nicely what's going on.

If you ask a human, they will answer 3. Sometimes they say 4. Or 2. That's it.

An LLM produces a text using an example it was trained on. They were trained with these elaborate responses, so that's what they produce.

Whenever chatgpt gets something wrong, someone at openai will analyse it, create a few correct examples, and put these on the pile for retraining. Thats why it gets better - not because it is smarter, but it's retrained on your specific test cases.
Paycheck to paycheck means what it says on the tin that these households consume as much as they earn. Its unlikely that necessary per the government actually captures all that is truly necessary let alone what folks consider necessary to live a reasonable life much of which is certainly either uncaptured or classified as ordinary.

Redefining pay check to paycheck to a definition literally nobody but yourself uses and then concluding few fit this definition isn't useful.
To someone unfamiliar with the pandas api I think the SQL version is by far the most readable.

It's just a regular join with the `asof` keyword in front.

The pandas version assumes both fields have the same name, it separates the on and by conditions in a way that's not necessary in SQL version, and imo the "backwards" keyword is a bit ugly and error prone.

It isn't "inadvertently justified" if it was intentionally done. Patriot Act and CALEA specifically mandated the building in of these backdooring capabilities to all telecommunications equipment. Look up "Lawful Interception".

Long story short: lawmakers decided the definition of privacy was "no one from the government felt like looking".
> Why America's economy is soaring ahead of its rivals

Because young people are not taxed to pay for retired people vacations. And because there is less of a credential obsession for most jobs.

So you get people starting to work younger: they create value earlier instead of being a pure weight on the system.

They're taxed less so they keep more of their money so they're established (house, business etc.) earlier and can spawn a new generation earlier.

Most of the socialized states have become gerontocracies where most of the GDP is funneled from the young actives to the retirees. Be it from socialized healthcare (old people use the majority of it), cushy retirement benefits or the simple fact they own most property and can rent it and lobby to keep prices high.

In France, median retirees have enjoyed better revenues than median working people for multiple years already. What was created so old people who can't work would not be destitute has become a life goal because it's "when you can start to enjoy things". 50 years ago, we had 3 active people paying for 1 retiree. Now those 3 people? We only got 1.7 active people paying for each of them.

Either the current working generation decides to stop the cycle and sacrifice themselves by continuing to pay for baby boomers and they forego their own "end of life vacation" so their rare grand children can benefit from their own work. Or the country is a third world economy next century.

There are relatively straightforward decentralized consensus algorithms for ordering events if we assume cooperation. If we assume malicious peers, then we're in the space of the byzantine generals problem, but there are solutions to that too.

Now there's some property that you have to give up, for example an immutable ordering. You might think the message came in one order, then reconnect with the network and discover the order was flipped. So long as the UI can handle that an update, there are consensus algorithms that will deliver a consistent view even in the edge cases.

You don't need a single timestamping queue.

It's a good thing that, as you state, "humans hold "togetherness" as a "true" value".

But in this context, the value is in how much they have pondered to actually see and evaluate what is eventually seen as "true".
the mantra of "Bitcoin is the future of
money" that's being pushed

I don't see that mantra used in the context of Bitcoin's market cap.

In the concept of value, the aspects of Bitcoin that are relevant is that it has a broad ownership strucure, is finite in supply, is easy to store, validate and transfer.
In the UK different ethnic minorities do very differently economically (some better than the majority[1]) but this does not follow visible differences.

Indians do a lot better economically than Bangladeshis, black Africans better than black Caribbeans, etc. People from some Eastern European countries do a lot worse than visible minorities. Of the white minorities the Irish were traditionally close to the bottom of the heap historically, but for the last few decades have done well, especially educationally, probably boosted by the quality of Catholic schools (religious schools can receive state funding here and many are therefore free to attend).

Its clearly mostly to do with lack of intergenerational social mobility. Its worth noting that the group doing worst educationally in the UK are white working class boys.

In Sri Lanka which is also my "home" country for a different definition of home the minorities are not "economically lower class" but have faced significant racism and religious discrimination (both sometimes violent) - but have also done the same themselves.

[1] All numbers I know of that compare ethnic groups lump the three biggest native groups into one, "white British".

Yet until 1996, any worker who payed into social security (which includes many undocumented immigrants) was entitled to its benefits. The source the author linked makes this clear.

> When the Social Security program began paying benefits in 1940, there were no restrictions on benefit payments to noncitizens.

> In 1996, Congress approved tighter restrictions on the payment of Social Security benefits to aliens residing in the United States. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA)23 prohibited the payment of Social Security benefits to aliens in the United States who are not lawfully present, unless nonpayment would be contrary to a totalization agreement or Section 202(t) of the Social Security Act (the alien nonpayment provision).24 This provision became effective for applications filed on or after September 1, 1996. Subsequently, the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 199625 added Section 202(y) to the Social Security Act. Section 202(y) of the act, which became effective for applications filed on or after December 1, 1996, states, "Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no monthly benefit under [Title II of the Social Security Act] shall be payable to any alien in the United States for any month during which such alien is not lawfully present in the United States as determined by the Attorney General."

https://www.everycrsreport.com/files/20161117_RL32004_1ac9e9...

Also, many (maybe all?) documented non-citizen immigrants are eligible for social security if they meet the other criteria, so there's no reason to assume the author is arguing "for extending citizenship en-masse". Nor even that they are arguing for more visas being granted at all

You exemplify well a big problem with LLMs: When people see accurate enough output on some test question and take it as evidence that they can trust the output to any extent on areas they don't dominate.
