This is the kind of literary nonsense that has annoyed me ever since I turned 20. If you don't have anything to say, no one care if you're human, and no one should. I see zero virtue in making inspired noise, even if…
For now. I really don't like where it's going long term. Right now your worth as a human is in what you are able to do. I am terrified to think of a time when for everything you could ever hope to learn there would be a…
This moment will never come if you just sit and wait for it. Practice in writing is just as important as in coding. Unfortunately, as many great arts of the past, writing is dying due to the publics' interest shifting…
> This same reasoning is why I'm not bullish on AI; what the potential is and what we peasants get to use are vastly different It's not peasants who's gonna use AI, it's the elite. Peasants are gonna get nothing.
But this isn't just about video conferencing software. I think it's pretty reasonable to assume that Microsoft is going to keep pushing in the same direction
These tags are useless and have always been.
>Instagram and Youtube could have grown on their Hadn't they grown on their own before they got bought up?
It's like banning shovels because someone can get hit with a shovel. It's not a language problem, and it cannot be solved by chopping the language up on the Procrustean bed. All it's going to do is annoy people and…
150 ms is the time it takes for a person to see the input and then do something (like pressing a key or blinking). That's a two way communication with processing (thinking) time included. The actual input reaction, as…
I believe I've addressed that saying that some would consciously pick a cigarette. I think it is reasonable to say that such people are a minority.
There are two different types of "want". You want to live a full and meaningful life. You also want another cigarette if you're addicted to smoking. Sure there are people who would consciously choose a cigarette, but…
Then you are arguing for allowing fraud and crime.
It's not investment when there is no industry behind it. It's called speculation. Or gambling - for some people.
> Bank runs still happen. I do agree with that. But it has become an extremely rare occurrence that usually indicates some deeper problems. > A lot of banks in Europe during the 2008+ crisis -- which is why "capital…
I wonder why rounded corners are somehow more correct than square ones.
> Crypto is very special in this sense. I noticed crypto's quality of being special is in reverse proportion to the Fed's interest rates. Just an observation. In all seriousness, the are two real drivers here: 1)…
> One benefit is that you can more credibly offer to keep your promises. We are yet to see a working example of that. > Meanwhile, users of FTX depended on government regulation and pinky-swears to keep their money…
It's not the type of currency you have that prevents bank runs. There were plenty of bank runs with very real dollars in the beginning of the century. What stopped it was proper regulation. EDIT: I mean the beginning…
>> You're still missing the forest for the trees. All of this was created in the last 2-3 years and already it's replicated most of what's in traditional finance. Making a copy of an existing technology while repeating…
No one claims markets don't adjust. The claim is that unregulated markets often don't adjust for the benefit of the society at large. It weren't as amazing when the GPU prices soared due to mining, was it?
This is nonsense. First, no one can interact in "arbitrary user-defined ways" with anything. Second, anything you can imagine on the web and more has already been done in games. Please don't tell people that running a…
I'm pretty sure there are teams out there that could have developed a successful product for that money, if you don't include the infrastructure costs.
Wasn't stadia absolutely dreadful at release with lags, bugs, stutter and shutdowns?
This is the opposite of what Valve has always been doing, with one exception being Counter Strike.
I strongly disagree. First, to adress the grandparent comment, Valve is a private company that is still lead by its founders, so the sentiment does not apply to them. First, Half-Life Alyx, from the technical…
