Fraudulent company is not a general case. Such companies must be closed by regulators, not short sellers. Do you think it is a good idea to help Intel go bankrupt because it's shitty right now in comparison to AMD?

Shitty company will go down in a natural way in a free market economy. Why do you feel you need to help it to go down? Why let people make money on someone's fail? Why let people have incentives to ruin other people lives?

Maybe, but something is constantly changing in the worrying direction. Humans are becoming slaves of the tools they build, not vice versa. Our biological abilities fade away in the presence of technological progress. People may fantasy abou

It's fairly easy to build passwordless scheme. 1. Service picks asymmetric scheme (RSA, ECDSA, etc.) 2. User generates public/private pair of keys locally 3. User registers its public key in the service 4. Now user can sign anythi

Sure, increased mining difficulty means you have to do more computations to find a block. Here is the graph https://www.blockchain.com/charts/difficulty

It's in the design. Higher price -> more miners -> increased mining difficulty (due to design goal – 1 block per 10 min) -> more energy waste. Bitcoin was a fun prototype idea, but humans made it just evil. As usual, though.

Aha, good luck with that. Entire human history is full of such social differentiation, where a particular group, caste, nation, etc. think that they are better and deserve more than the others. MBAs, in my experience, is the worst example o

Ah, XORing is indeed addition in F_{2^k}. It's not addition in Z_{2^k}, though. I was thinking about summation modulo prime number, in this case Z_p = F_p.

by dandanua 6y ago
Addition in F_{2^k} is not the same as XORing. But that summation idea is correct. To solve polynomial you can use this algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantor%E2%80%93Zassenhaus_algo...

But it's not an argument from the paper. The idea is that superintelligence have to understand a consequence of any program to check for harm. And this is undecidable due to the halting problem. This argument is correct, but trivial an

Unreservedly no. It could become a nice reservation for haters. Now hate is gonna spread elsewhere. The fear that haters will unite and do some damage is understandable. But silencing them completely is the wrong way. The only right way to

Indeed, Julia's abstract type system with multiple dispatch is its killer feature. It enables generic programming in a beautiful and concise fashion. Here [1] Stefan Karpinski gives some explanations of why multiple dispatch is so effe

The proof is that Tether almost never deleted any of its tokens, even when Bitcoin dropped significantly, e.g. from $10k to $5k in 2020. Does it mean that no one wanted their USD back from Tether organization? I highly doubt it.

Tether has printed almost double of its amount just BEFORE Bitcoin price jump. It's the biggest pump and dump scheme ever, made by organized crypto-mafia. I doubt this will continue for long.

It doesn't prevent from physical torturing that can be used to steal your coins. I've already seen a bunch of news about missing or killed people in this field. The creator is also probably dead.

Quantum mechanics is certainly mind-changing, but it can't explain yet what our world really is. The most popular many-worlds interpretation is very far from complete.

>... isn't that where most of our problems originate? Of course not. All our problems are rooted in the lack of resources (in a broad sense, like time or fun). AI is a weapon and will be used as a weapon to acquire those resources.

Of course, people still expect the price raise. But it's hard to imagine it will turn into a bubble.

I too predicted [1] that in the future Bitcoin will be comparable to works of arts, not to digital gold, as hoarders like to think. A collectible is even better comparison. But I disagree with the price prediction. People are already buying

When sites let users use asymmetric cryptography, like RSA or ECDSA? It's far more superior because of invulnerability against server hacks or phishing.
