What deeply confuses me is why we don’t just: - always use atomic time - adjust civil timezones as needed to match astronomical time well enough Somehow, I don’t see most political and contingent timezones lasting long…
I mean — valuing things is not always that hard: how much are you willing to take to go without?
Doesn’t the veterinarian own their own skills, after having spent decades in school to learn them (and perhaps being saddled with student loans to do so?) What if they just moved? Or should we have US-style global taxes…
Honestly -- I think the deeper point here is Nietzsche's: there's nothing wrong about winning. Nothing wrong about conquest. Nothing wrong with having three kids and outcompeting your neighbor. This cultural meme…
Surely the only rational reason to care about liability is you get paid in the bad outcome. Let's assume you get paid 0$ for AI mistakes -- no liability at all. Then your EV is roughly: (AI accuracy - human accuracy) *…
Data point of one, but after a few months of uselessness, I have managed to get some pretty serious, measurable performance improvements with AI optimizations -- order-of-magnitude speedups of business critical…
I think the issue is precisely the rationalising part. Let's assume I have pre-decided something: if the fruit weighs over 100g, I'll buy it, otherwise I won't. I can then measure and find out. My emotions -- based on…
A better technical solution imo is more P2P hosting -- say content addressing. Something designed to deal with the scrapers -- and maybe even make them bear infrastructure costs.
Honestly, I'll take it a step further: what's wrong with training? Having principles means applying them uniformly -- even to large entities or those you hate (it's fine if the principles themselves have size bounds in…
Assembly can totally interop with C.
Content-addressed storage and error correcting codes mean that one can make bitrot astronomically unlikely with honestly minimal infra investment. It's copyright that causes anything to disappear from the web IMO --…
I'm pretty sure it's a lot more reasonable to use a fixed set of frequences and use the timezone for offset
Can we please do content addressing one day?
Air (or rather, nitrogen -- oxygen at that pressure is something you'd rather avoid) can be pressurised to that degree too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_pool
Different pros and cons -- SQLite is smaller is the big one
You know, I'm pretty sure post-slurping the text is still there...
There is also the deep magic... https://github.com/phiresky/sql.js-httpvfs
Would they ever have done so without a lifetime of listening to the music and culture of others?
Eh. On one hand -- phones are evil, and the world is no longer 2004. On the other hand, I would not be the same person if I didn't get that laptop.
Not if the datacenter itself is operating at the same internal pressure as the water around it
So I suppose I should have added a bit of a disclaimer: I genuinely believe free access to computation and information to be a human right; up there with the press 100 years ago. Restricting computers, morally, is like…
Though no one cares, I feel compelled to put down my 2 cents. Such a "speed limit" is an unfathomably bad idea, in every way, and moreover is a violation of fundamental human rights. I deeply oppose it. That is all.
Thanks! Apologies about the tone -- I meant it as a syllogism, not a snark! I'll try to be clearer next time!
This explains a lot... I feel bad when I think about staying put. Forward always feels better. It's like one of the fundamental axes, I guess.
