If you have been following their updates, it looks like that they have finally found the correct approach for FSD and it is improving very quickly. At this rate, it seems that it'll be close to level 5 this year or next year. Video of

Yeah, but you can do similar thing with bitcoin. BAT/Brave is cool, but every app having their own currency isn't useful, expect for speculation purposes. It's like having to use different currencies for buying different prod

Yes, but in a different way. Web3 has a token for each app, and these apps are just marketing vehicles to pump the token, so nothing useful gets built. It's a thoroughly broken model.

Web5 doesn't have any tokens. That's one of the main reasons why Jack created this. He wants to show that tokens aren't needed for decentralized apps. This is much more focused on creating something useful. You are right. Web

That's not what libertarianism is about. It is about ideas that maximize freedom for everyone in a society. It is about allowing freedom to others. It's the opposite to narcissist and anti-social. It is about being nice to each ot

I think this is very close to the truth. Most tech people, like the author of the article, look Bitcoin only from technological perspective. This completely misses the point, because Bitcoin is worse on many purely technical metrics compare

That's my reading of the situation. But, probably both Elon and Twitter want to cancel. Elon would in principle like to buy, but the timing was unfortunate, and the offered price is now too expensive.

Dreams are weird. Last night I had an eye surgery, but they did it from the inside, by removing the top half of my skull. Then they attached it with three wing bolts. I was worried that it would fall off, because it was wobbly, and I tried

I'd never guess that those specific words would be an obstacle for understanding the concept. Biological evolution is usually taught by explaining random mutation and reproduction, and that surviving mutations are passed on to the next

I mean just the basic concept of survival of the fittest, which doesn't require deep understanding of biology. The same concept also applies to lots of things besides biological evolution.[0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org

Fair point. How about animals? It seems that many modern mammals, including primates, evolved and thrived during the Eocene. Most of the world today is too cold for humans living without protection, so I'm not completely buying that it

That's not likely going to happen. There are many periods in Earth history where co2 levels were way higher than now, and no large-scale desertification events are known. Periods of very high co2 and higher temperatures are known for h

Agree. Still, most people seem to be under the impression that there's a "tipping point" and then temperatures will spiral into infinity. It's disruptive, but nature and humanity is adaptive. Many species will also thriv

It's misleading to imply that this is an exponential process, rather than an S-curve. If we look where all the oil came from, we could deduce that by burning it all we would be just going back to similar environment. I.e. the absolute

What you're saying is wildly untrue. You are redefining words. Trust is completely different thing than valuation in markets. You don't need to trust gold or bitcoin. They are verifiable. Don't trust, verify. Also, the US dol

Why do you think that creating a new coin and trying to sell it is the easiest way to get bitcoin? Most people think that it's not very easy, and buy bitcoin from an exchange.

Not sure what are you laughing at. It's the nature of hard money, like bitcoin and gold. Their production cost is close to their market value, which means that you can acquire them only by mining or by trade, which both require work. N
