You are a security researcher. Your mind is trained to find and mitigate vulnerabilities. Including the vulnerabilities in finance / tax reporting. You'll think of something. If you can hack one system, you can hack another. $250k

That sounds insecure. Looks like blockchain and private keys with extra hops. Perhaps you can easily revert banking transactions...

What can be used for evil, will be used for evil. Lawmakers need to assume that their laws will be interpreted and abused in the worst possible way.

Well yes, by knowing my bank account and routing number, you don't have access to my money.

So that's how AGI will escape containment.

I cannot apply for asylum as I left Russia many years before the war, so I technically wasn't "prosecuted". And there are many cases where people who are not famous journalists were jailed for a single comment like "Russ

Well, hello from a rounding error. I am Russian, I live in another country, and my bank accounts are closed because of "sanctions" even though I support Ukraine and will be immediately sent to prison were I to return to Russia. So

I learned to write some useful code for crypto trading firms (portfolio management, automated market making, risk screening), so that part is covered. Looking for customers is still tricky though. Even crypto firms are now increasingly abou

Questionable individual here. My bank accounts are all blocked now just for the reason of my nationality, nothing else. Crypto is currently my lifeline.

You could probably just eject the motor close to the finish line, or, if there's weighing involved, replace it by some neutral part.

Well, no, there are many grifters who do that, and only very few of them succeed. But yes, a successful product is just 5% or so of a successful business.

If you are happy with Guile, I guess Janet is not worth switching (it is faster, though). It is absolutely and explicitly not Scheme, though. More like natively compiled and script-optimized Clojure.

by atemerev 1y ago
This is not a replacement for Common Lisp. It is in the same niche as Guile (but quite faster).

More than that, you won't succeed and your company will probably go in the dustbin of nice failed projects unless some scalable explicit monetization is the goal.

Yes. It is either Friday evening or Sunday in finance.

Hm. Okay, you are right. Worse than I thought.

...and, besides that, most of the "wow kitty" factor activates after small cats (not necessarily domestic cats). European wildcat: yes. Sand cat: yes. Pallas cat: absolutely. Ocelot: kitty! gimme gimme gimme. Lynx: maybe. Leopards

They sure do, just like there are different states in the US with vastly different attitudes to life and everything. And yet, you can take an averaged vector of all US states and all European countries and meaningfully compare those. Or ext

An interesting hypothesis, but I don't see similar fascination with pet snakes.

The US obsession with sex (both positive and negative) is something else. Here in Europe, sex is a normal part of human life. Not a center of everything, nor a sin to be avoided. Sex art is normal. Sex games are fine. There are no moral cru

Sometimes assuming just a tiny bit of malice can explain what otherwise had to be explained by a lot of stupidity. Occam's razor beats Hanlon's razor.

Min-wage jobs normally have a lot more applicants than skilled/office-based jobs. Every skill is a barrier.

Ctrl-C means something different in the terminal. Always has been. And if it doesn't make sense to use Ctrl-C, there is no sense in Ctrl-V either.

I don't know, Kotlin, Scala and Clojure are quite successful.

I mean, how this is not core Rust functionality if you need clone for many things unless you want to fight the borrow checker for yet another day?

The smartphone in question was Palm Tungsten W, the messengers were working great. There was also Nokia 9000 series, but it was more bulky. And Windows CE, of course. I agree that iPhone was revolutionary, but it was released back in 2007,

I got my first smartphone in 2004, in 2007 there was already iPhone and everyone was on Facebook. All these things you mention are completely minor compared to the seismic changes in 1995-2001 and 2016-2025.
