Would you rather be lawful, or improve everyone’s chances of surviving the trip?

I think it’s because they don’t just want one or several kids eating. It’s distracting and the kids will get all whiny and fight. It’s the teacher’s job to teach them the subject and the parent’s job to teach them to not be whiny and fighty.

I like it for making a quick crappy version of something, so then they’ll tell me the double secret requirements, and then I write the real version.

Nano uses “proof of stake” instead of proof of work to decide the order of transactions, and who receives block rewards.

The main problem with PoS is that it’s essentially the same as Federal Reserve bonds: all the new money goes towards people with extra money to freeze. This is part of why inequality has spiraled out of control since the Nixon Shock. Proof of work literally burns most of the profits because of difficulty adjustment.

A more specific problem with Nano (formerly RaiBlocks) is that the entire supply was centrally issued, with a pinky promise from this private organization that they only issued coins by CAPTCHA. If they were lying, then they could have issued 51% of the supply to themselves for permanent control. The only way we’d be able to detect it is if the price kept going down for years.

Looking at the shape it’s taken so far, do you really think you’ll be included in that singularity? Or will you be just another ape roasting to death as your brain rots? If it’s energy-intensive, then what matters is who controls the factors of production. They see you as a cost, not a useful friend who simped for Pascal’s Basilisk.

We could have a positive singularity, or we could have a malevolent singleton. And it depends on your rationality right now.

Holy shit

Rule proposal: no putting Trump’s age near the front of the headline unless it’s the headline for which we’re all waiting.

Perfect example, wrong answer. Stay on the Fediverse, at least until Eternal September gets here.

One of my favorite economics bloggers for decades started sourcing his information with LLMs. He was such a bright guy. 😭

Why do you think we’re all so interested in unions?

The HOA can’t force you to break the law. If this is actually happening to you, talk to a lawyer!

Thanks, I was wondering why this was here
