Take a look at workera.ai Andrew Ng (of Stanford, Coursera) is involved. It’s a service that measures your skills across a handful of areas, gives you an informative skill profile, shows you jobs that your skillset matches, and I think also

The fact that there may be an error is an argument in favor of publishing the code.

I love reducing a problem to its minimal formalism. I hate documentation that only includes the minimal formalism without examples. It suggests the author never developed “Theory of Mind”.

I see. That does sound quite bad.

According to Google, China only really had a problem with Covid for about one month in the beginning. Since then, country wide, cases have been in the tens per day.

It becomes a social cost because it was not accounted for as a market cost. It may be that some of these cannot in principle be accounted for, and even more which cannot in practice be accounted for. But I imagine the majority of externalit

Is it just me or is $125k for 7% a terrible deal? Is the idea that the networking perks make up for it?

If you think NFT’s are bad, you should check out CRDT’s. The sheer volume of pointless text that they produce is proof enough that they’re nothing but a huge grift.

> The "everything is a market" ideology had a good run of almost half a century But that never actually happened. Externalities were never part of the market.

In my book, it’s a big red flag when a market is intermediated by anyone. The whole point of markets is to crowd source decision making, so if you remove the crowd, then what is it that you actually have left?

I would like you to figure out what that would be and post it here.

The group of people you label “the enthusiasts” are too heterogeneous to be meaningful. For example many developers are enthusiastic about a specific blockchain technology and unenthusiastic about the others. Consider also the difference be

You can install an algorand server on a desktop and measure it yourself. Try doing that with Visa, or Venmo, or [choose your own black box].

They emit very little co2 up front. So little that they trivially reach carbon-negative with a small amount of carbon offsets.

Algorand is carbon-negative. The inventor is a Turing-award winning MIT professor.

I think the important part of decentralization is not that “everyone must” own their own server, but rather that “anyone can” run their own server, that indexes the globally consistent blockchain database. But, I agree that the most trouble

Cows producing milk makes a lot more sense than humans producing power. Equally dystopian though, in my view.

It’s amazing how China has apparently been almost untouched by the pandemic since end of March 2020.

Keep in mind that even if the job would have been perfect for you, the company probably interviewed multiple people, and selected one that they thought would be more perfect for them. I recently did a round of hiring for my team, and we had

The problem (on HN) is that the hype-ignorance runs both directions. Tech-literates see the tech-illiterates getting scammed, and thereby extrapolate that the technology is fundamentally a scam, which is absurd. Data structures, protocols,

Ideally you collect the data from students, so you have a constant stream of learner trajectories. Also, if you did this well you could mostly get rid of exams.

I agree, this will never happen through a school system. But I think it could, for example, replace Stack Overflow.

I think you could revolutionize education if you did this. Consider this - learning is not about receiving factual information. Rather, it's about transitioning through a series of states that take you from being someone who does not k
