Classic luddite argument at the core of the article. Technology both displaces jobs and enhances jobs. It's impossible to tell a priori the economic effect. It's just as possible that artists leveraging these tools are paid more b

They've been able to easily get clean exposure for a long time now. You have ETFs (BITO), pseudo-ETF (GBTC), exposed companies (MSTR, COIN, VOYG.TO, SI, SBNY to some extent) and fully dependent companies (especially miners: RIOT, MARA,

Vulkan compute might, over time, take root. The fact that a similar API can be used for training on servers, inference from laptops to phones, is an appealing proposition Best part: most devices have decent vulkan drivers. Unlike openCL.

It's just a more efficient way to do a form of graph matching[1] on a dynamic graph (one that evolves over time). There wasn't really a pure closed form mathematic solution to the problem like we can on static graphs (Gale-Shapely

You can enjoy the architecture and art (Notre Dame) without necessarily endorsing the artist (the church institution). Other examples: - Roman Polanski is a bad human who made good movies - The Pyramids of Egypt are grand structures but acc

The concept was not sound We've had tens of thousands of competent software engineers working on this for the last 5 years and no one came up with anything more than gambling in a closed zero sum ecosystem.

I love D. I just wish it had more popular traction - it's much better to program in than Rust, Go or even C# as a language, but the community support is lacking.

unlikely - postgres stores data row-wise and this assumes sequentially stored columns. They even mention that issue in the blog post. It would be more likely to show up in something like Apache Arrow which is designed columnar to leverage t

They do emit a lot of heat, which might actually throttle the CPU overall. But to my knowledge they use different registers, and when properly pipelined they don't hog the CPU cache like unoptimized algorithms that constantly round tri

What would suck is a 1hr long puzzle forcing you to listen to a lecture and if you misclick at any point being forced to restart the whole hour Yes, truly that WOULD suck

I would especially playing it on a SNES emulator with both save state and fast forward features. The game is great, but some design elements are really rough. It can be brutally difficult at times and at others cringingly slow. Both emulato

It would be very strange for the current situation to be a long term stable equilibrium for Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a zero sum ecosystem, minus mining fees. So it's a net negative sum by some $20-30m per day in electricity and hardware cos
