How much money have people spent on Bitcoin because of PoW? All those billions were spent because as a speculative vehicle they thought they’d see even greater returns but that doesn’t mean that any other service will see a correspondingly

This analogy misses the entire system keeping house keys manageable. If you lose your keys, a locksmith can help you regain access cheaply and quickly because there’s an entire legal system allowing you to prove that you are the legitimate

Can you summarize how those prevent the listed problems? Tossing around absolutes like “you cannot censor Nostr” sounds like a religious assertion rather than technical analysis.

None of the sites you mentioned are (or were) left-leaning unless you are saying anyone less politically correct than Fox News is leftie, but that’s missing the bigger reason why the MAGA connection matters: MAGA is at its heart conspirator

I see businesses are getting you to blame the law rather than their activities which the law requires them to disclose. Personally, I’d expect to be paid before acting as a lobbyist.

They added sandboxing in the 2000s, which does mandatory access control (e.g. you can write a rule that Firefox.app can’t access ~/Library/Keychains) and expanded it with containers (not OCI) which standardize the layout starting

Deficits are a policy choice, not an inevitability. The budget was balanced at the turn of the century but Republicans under G. W. Bush decided that meant they could cut taxes, especially for the rich. They did that again for both Trump ter

Yes, that’s basically the point: what are termed hallucinations with LLMs are different than what we see in humans – even the confabulations which people with severe mental disorders exhibit tend to have some kind of underlying order or str

That’s a vague hypothetical so I can’t answer it but in this case I saw a number examples of people asking questions which were obviously based on known falsehoods or presupposed answers for ideological reasons, so it wasn’t surprising that

Who, specifically, urged them and what was the exact request? There was plenty of open scientific discussion on this point so it’s not like it was a secret but, as this article also notes, the risk is significantly higher from COVID.

Except in that case they were summarizing it, which I read as closer to “I found this on Stack Overflow but don’t know if it’s right”. I think that’s less offensive than having the post be LLM output or, especially, pretending to be authori

Puppet isn’t a front end problem, but I do agree on Webpack - which is one reason it wasn’t super common. A lot of sites either didn’t try to bundle things or had simple Make-level workflows which were at least very simple, and at the time

Blocking IPs hasn’t worked well since the 2000s: if you block CDNs, you’ll find out how many legitimate services use the same CDN.

You also need some decent support + auditing. There are a couple of places to configure (e.g. setting CURL_CA_BUNDLE globally covers multiple OSS libraries) but there will be cases where someone hits one of the edge clients and tries to ign
