I remember Carmack mentioning in a podcast a list of seminal papers that Ilya Sutskever (@ilyasut) gave to him to learn AI foundations. I would love to see that list.

I agree. Any materials you recommend to guide people in each of the steps? Maybe a software 3D renderer that is well written and documented?

Even Latino is a made up ethnicity obvious for anyone that has traveled just a bit. Includes vastly different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. In the US is politically convenient to put everyone in the same bland bag. edit: typo

Published meta revenue numbers don’t add up. Do you have a source for the 100M Quest 2 sold?

Bitcoin like any other protocol has certain characteristics and tradeoffs. The traditional monetary system is layered too (credit cards is one of the consumer facing ones). Layered architectures are found everywhere. See the Web: IP, TCP, H

An irresponsible centralized exchange crashing doesn’t challenge the fundamentals of the bitcoin protocol.

Why do you think is designed this way? Some think that proof of work is essential in order to have a monetary system that it’s really hard to corrupt hence essential for them. Search for thermodynamically sound money. I’m sure proponents wo

Problem is that usefulness is not universal past essential things. I’m sure we can find many things you find wasteful that I consider useful and vice-versa.

I highly recommend Youtube Premium. Also heard from creators that they get paid more from Premium views than from free accounts.

Blackberries proved the smartphone market. Many people used and loved them a ton. VR not there yet. Apple takes existing markets grows them and sets the new standard: PCs, smartphones, fitness trackers, headphones… Not first or early mover.

Men behavior is at least partially shaped by dating dynamics. Women tend to prefer partners with higher social and economic status than themselves. Men care less. Search term hypergamy edit: typo

Yep. Parking your ETH in a staking pool much better than in a traditional bank saving accounts. There’s a proliferation of services that make it easier and easier and can put any amount.

I’m Spanish and have friends all over Latin America. we often laugh about the term. Some people in the US decided to put a rich variety of cultures and historical backgrounds in the same bag. Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico… all

I agree. I doubt the Twitter moderation system is more complicated than the Linux kernel or any of the open source compilers. Sufficiently motivated individuals contribute, find a fix bugs all the time.

Is in your opinion the Twitter moderation algorithm more complicated than the Linux Kernel or Bitcoin software code bases? Those are audited and modified publicly al the time. The human part can also be audited if the rules are stated clear

What makes in your opinion the request naive? Too complex to open source or for people to analyze and criticize? I see some people becoming Twitter algorithm experts as we also have Linux kernel developers

Apple has been always about empowering creatives. They have world-class camera hardware and editing software. It always made sense to me that at some point they would close the circle and try to compete against YouTube. They instead went wi

Sorry, I take comment above as non-literal. Greta is not the direct cause but energy strategy driven by climate policies (where there’s push back against nuclear in some circles) might caused Germany land in a tough spot over-reliant on Rus

My superficial understanding is that Germany divested on Nuclear and other tech and focused on Solar + Wind + Natural Gas. They’re now over -relying on Russian gas to cover energy needs. There are no gas lines from southern to central Europ

Opensea indeed helps reduce the noise but you can also do it yourself. If you show me a fake BAYC NFT(Bored Ape Yacht Club) I can tell you if it’s authentic just by looking at the blockchain (smart contract address and transaction history f

You can see the wallet that setup the smart contract, when it happened, and also see all the transaction history of NFTs in the collection. That’s one of the advantages of a public ledger. Anyone can run the forensics. No need of a central

On Twitter, NFTs show as an hexagon and you can find the provenance on the user profile (collection, associated contract…) One can indeed copy the art and re-mint a new NFT but a single click on the user profile will reveal it’s not the aut
