I'm mostly concerned about government debt and bond yields. When governments start having a harder time bailing out the larger economy this can cause all sorts of problems, england atm is a prime example. If many governments start havi

The promise of crypto was that someone found a way to make a non-duplicable, tradeable token. First by proof of work and then by proof stake. The problem is that they forgot the 1 against all adversarial nature of internet security. A trill

I've seen more and more advertisements for Mastadon on HN, probably because of the whole Twitter debacle. Does anyone use the service? I mean, enough people so that the average person would know what it is? From my experience with Mast

Someone else posted a link to their for profit search engine. I find having to login to use the product a bit disturbing. What if I don't want my data collected?

Weird question. The trouble with web automation tools such as Selenium and beautiful soup is that they require specific instructions to parse html. So it's difficult to auto scrape websites if several websites have a different html lay

What are the risks for generalized financial contagion in the traditional sector? I understand that crypto has been a way for wealthy individuals to hide funds from taxation, so if a bunch of wealthy dweebs lose their shirts I don't pa

The servers hosting the data haven't been seized. Within a week there will be a dozen new domains for this information hosted out of Mozambique and Luxemburg or something. What a stupid waste of taxpayers money.

Ultimately what this means is that data transfer speeds will be faster, yes? (That's a question.) If most internet usage is direct to satellite and then satellite to endpoint this would mean that tier one hub networks would no longer b

To anyone interested I wrote a small paper on this and I'm looking around for commentary. It's mostly a philosophy paper, but it considers AI as well. I then go on to discuss moral and ethical questions. Here's a link to the

Thanks, I'll definitely look into those resources. I don't know if I'll go the route of sending in the paper myself as I believe a thesis advisor might be necessary to establish whether I'm on the right track or not with

Yes this is a very rough preliminary draft. The lack of references is a problem, although I cite the literature in philosophy for a number or people without pulling direct quotes [Timothy Williamson on modality for example]. The paper would

With current machine learning (neural networks as I understand them) I believe that there is no "intelligence". But I think it's possible to create an A^ pattern and my paper provides bounding around this area to make it poss

Thanks, I might try that!

Yeah understandable. The paper is ambitious in that it starts from first principles in some areas by necessity, but I would have to have someone check for consistency and references to Husserl, Heideger, Lacan, Plato, Korzybski, Zizek, moda

My impression with arxiv is that it's for after the paper has been reviewed to make the information as widely as accessible as possible. I'm more interested in places that would review the paper in the first place.

This is the paper by the way. I haven't had anyone who has been willing to review it, I'm completely out of money and I just want to know if any of my conclusions are correct at this point. I don't know if this is the appropr
