We've doubled life expectancy by lowering the rates of early deaths. Even in antiquity, healthy people lived to their 60s. That might be the 70s or 80s now, but the quality of life at those ages isn't great - take a stroll to your

Classes manage something stateful. One anti-pattern/code smell I often see is finding classes in a service which should just be a functionally pure pipeline (eg. no internal state is managed)

At this point the issues with Java are cultural, but they used to be evolutions of constraints of the rigid "everything must be a class" model. If nothing in the architecture can just be a free-floating procedure, not even a pure

That's not exactly correct. Electrons don't flow through wires - there's a one-way flow of the ambient electrons around the wire from the field created. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHIhgxav9LY

It *is* insane to wake up at 4am if you go to bed anytime after 10PM. I know some people will swear before god that they can function on little sleep, but the fact is that your decision making and judgement is seriously hampered by maintain

Yes, but price volatility is what matters. For the same reason that low positive inflation is good, as long as the volatility around the inflation rate is low (so expected value of price is in tight ranges)

It's something that has very little uptake because it's not supported on mainline GPUs? I want to use it for compute on something like a rx 6800 and to my knowledge can't

Why would you use NLP to collect reviews that are astroturfed? Garbage in, garbage out Just go wirecutter style and actually research the products a minimal amount to give an opinion

I really think the future here is in MoltenVK becoming the default cross platform GPU API

Not everyone is a Linus Torvalds or Terry Davis (say what you will about TempleOS, what he managed to build alone was awesome)

Also people expect a lot of quality of life stuff like unicode instead of ASCII, larger resolution images, more hardware support etc.

Uh, that's the worse citation source I've ever seen? It's a speculative twitter post? Also, what you said is like saying someone working at Stripe felt threatened by crypto. He's still not selling you a product (anywhere

You're completely changing the subject into a whataboutist digression here. Resorting to a such a fallacy is generally a sign you have nothing defensible to say about the absurd waste BTC produces Even if you want to change the subjec

No one who appreciates the unique characteristics of Bitcoin will want anything to do with anything else. Bitcoin is closer to a religion than anything. In any case, the "unique characteristics of Bitcoin" are what makes it abhorr

Yes, I'm fine with people experimenting on stuff like Solana or Cardano.

What I really want is bittorrent, but with "live" file repositories, that can be updated by the maker. Otherwise, I'm actually too well served by the regular cloud storage options to be honest.

by VHRanger 5y ago
Serious question: why would anyone use IPFS for storage compared to available options? Everything I see points to it being ludicrously more expensive, not having good systems for redundancy and availability, etc.

Yes, the laboratory would be fine if it weren't for BTC and ETH. Experiment away! But not with mega-scale proof-of-work projects that consume ungodly resource as a byproduct of securing the network (which is a financial problem in any

There's nothing that says we have to build it either. Like crypto up to now, the Web3 idea is a solution in search for a problem.

Your laboratory has run for 12 years and is currently consuming 0.5% of the world energy output and 20% of new GPUs. All of that without a popular usecase yet. Except for financial speculation, finance-of-last-resort, and crime. I would say
