If Bitcoin's price fell so it becomes unprofitable to mine, that will not cause Bitcoin's price to go up until it is profitable for miners. Instead, what will happen is that miners will drop out until mining becomes profitable for

While you're mentioning stable coins, it might be worth mentioning DAI, which unlike the others, is decentralized and managed by a public smart contract, instead of being centralized and managed by a single company which could lie abou

It's only money laundering if you're using cryptocurrency to get out of paying taxes or to hide criminal activity. It's not money laundering to buy something instead of keeping your money in a currency undergoing inflation.

All the work in Bitcoin mining is going toward making it harder for someone to rewrite the history of Bitcoin transactions (which would allow them to take back sent Bitcoin). More miners means it's harder for any attacker to rewrite th

The cost of mining doesn't set a price floor. If the price of Bitcoin falls so that the revenue of mining falls below the costs of mining, then miners will drop out until the cost of mining falls enough too. Bitcoin is minted at a pred

>Thus, distributed platforms today must allow people to pick and choose what content they wish to host. IPFS works more like torrents than FreeNet. If you run an IPFS node, it only hosts content that you pinned on it yourself.

by AgentME 6y ago
I think comparisons to FreeNet are misleading, because IPFS doesn't let you publish content to other people's nodes, and it doesn't try to provide any way to browse content in IPFS. It's more like torrents, if torrent ap

Asking the server for new HTML means you can't show changes until you've done a roundtrip with the server. That means no optimistic rendering or immediate feedback for local changes, such as a comment being made or an option being

Everything about Github's PR workflow is killer to me, so to me personally the message I take away from this is that Source Hut isn't even competing with Github in the parts I care about.

Cargo uses lockfiles by default to pin all dependencies of an application, so reproducibility shouldn't be much of an issue.

Only one category of the samples on the main Jukebox page are described that way. The rest of the samples were pre-existing lyrics, so the song linked above might also have had pre-existing lyrics.

Note that the lyrics are part of the input to the Jukebox neural net, so I assume they used the lyrics of an existing song here. Nothing stops someone from using a lyric-generating neural net with Jukebox though. (It's probably more us

I think those two examples are a bit over-the-top, but I wonder if there might be a benefit to having such a visible convention, partly just because it's such an obvious reminder to be explicit about tone. Seeing it communicates tone a
