Damn, sorry to hear that the cycles became so draining. It's such a powerful tool at surface level in this api/k8s interfacing world that looking under the hood and seeing all the work just knocked me over. You all have done somet

10 years of R&D good enough? I'm not claiming there aren't advances but there's a long tail to implementing new things. Crude as in there are many forms of existing processes we have inherited and continue on. No differen

This excites me. I've been hearing much more lately about how crude our approach to farming/agriculture is and how counterproductive current methods are. No-till, carbon farming, cover crops, etc. which spend more effort in creati

We do...we really do! We have such a throwaway culture that prototyping and experimentation has a fairly low bar/cost. Getting serious and building a "sellable" product can have a bit of a ramp (my opinion due to the administ

Thank you! This is an awesome list of questions and it's incredibly thoughtful that you documented and shared it with us. It reminds me of Hitchhikers Guide where they know the answer but need the question. So many answers are out ther

I think the reality is it technically hits this legal grey area. The whole, dating for years and one kid turns 17 while the other is 16 (or whatever the boundary case may be)...this letter vs spirit of the law argument. It is by definition

My mistake. It was an incomplete thought. I meant to say specifically that until we can define things from an objective and not subjective stance, AI will not fare better. That's an interesting proposition on the solution. I feel I see

by _57jb 4y ago
Yeah. I think this represents two issues. One: AI is not AI but a litany of conditionals that poorly reflects what we as humans can determine fairly quickly. Unless the process is unquestionably objective and possibly quantitative in its ou

I love playing on lichess. My kid is a fan of chess.com and I try to play with him occasionally, I just have a stronger preference towards the former. It almost feels like the Wikipedia vs Encyclopedia Britannica argument. Chess.com just fe

I too. The epitome of Hacker News and one of the reasons I find myself laughing enjoyably so much here. I picture this marathon and the first one trips out of the gate with everyone piling up behind them.

Sadly wrong again. Here's me without paraphrasing > I'm not saying crypto is THE solution and maybe in it's current state it isn't. Your quick admission and then doubling down is disappointing. Ironically, you really

I'm quite familiar with the economics and it has served me well enough. I'm talking about the actual systems and physical infrastructure. I have been fortunate to work with some of these larger institutions which carry the "f

I think there is more to it than that. The fact we have currency that fluctuates on a day to day basis despite not being tied to anything beyond our trust in the system is not much better of an argument. There was a point that the U.S. base

It is this exactly, thank you for correcting it. I can see how the error could be easily made.

When quoting someone please use the full statement. You've paraphrased and injected your own meaning which is incorrect. > I've never encouraged people to buy crypto and if someone does [encourage people to buy crypto], they ar

I feel like the "Crypto Crime Wave" is really about NFT foolishness. I had a lot of friends reaching out to understand more. A lot of them didn't really like the reality of how simple it would be to lift and mint a new thing.

I love this. I think to expect perfection in timing and aligning work done by humans, even where someone could make reasonable foresight arguments, is overlooking how challenging this wide level of supporting an ecosystem is. The response t

Yeah, honestly when folks roll over to Nix, it's just not a walled garden anymore and there are too many deviations for a support team, it really needs community/forums where people talk to you in a way that teaches as you go. MS

The biggest issue that is upstream is the centralization that is caused via GPU and asic. It's fairly obvious in hindsight but the idea that everyone running a general purpose computer wouldn't recognize enough value to try and ta

Gotta love the term serverless...on par with fullstack developer. It's either a server somewhere handling tasks in a queue or the client is the server. I hate that we have to care so much about "words" but I've seen far

How long though? This is the painful economics of technology. I think a more pointed argument is the relationship the software, hardware, and consumer has in this. As consumers we really can only vote with our purchasing and much of it is m

You might have an approach that is unlikable. I say this because I am exactly that. I often cut straight to the point and can't really read the room. I think I'm helping and being brutally honest when in reality it comes off conde

So well done. I love these styles of development where it can be thrown together quickly but complete the full spectrum of ux, creativity, and hitting that sweet spot that felt satisfying to play. Seriously well done!

You are under the assumption I believe that speculation in it's current form is a good thing. Friedman Doctrine never worked, he himself admitted it. Crypto is not for buying your latte. It's for the people that cannot trust the s

This isn't a whataboutism...we are literally comparing apples to apples. How much impact does the banking institution makes vs how much crypto makes. Comparison is not a novel concept and is quite literally part of the scientific metho

Where is this energy towards banking institutions that use even more Tw hours and do even more damage? Your argument is flawed. Making a bomb has a narrow purpose to do damage. Banking institutions do dramatically more damage. This is a pot

You misread my statement. The trust of banks is an illusion and actually slower than the consensus. I don't "boost" crypto. I disagree that crypto is how we should buy our lattes. If you live in a country where financial ind

I can send money from a cold wallet to any address I want. An exchange is merely a full node with a user interface. To operate as an exchange there are certain KYC/AML rules they must follow. Setting up a node takes about 20 minutes an
