Because I chatted to them afterwards about how nice the evening was and got various degrees of surprise from some of them (going from "uncomfortable" to "boring"). In the end, of the vibes aren't yours, you'll

Looks neat, but it's a bit unclear to me how to read the Pareto frontier graph. Also, would you share your references for the fixed you implemented/give recommendations for papers/books that can give useful domain knowledge t

Even in Germany don't like to explicitly talk about class, and I think it might be for the same reason the US doesn't like to: the most cogent notion of class isn't nobility vs commoners anymore, it's patricians vs plebe

Thanks. I guess there's different ways to go about it though, I can respect a cold email which asks for my consent before starting the sales pitch in a 2nd email for example

I don't drink or consume any drug except caffeine, have been to all these things and had fun - sometimes more fun than the drinking participants. Alcohol is just a cheat code for lowering your inhibitions and taking yourself less serio

I'd be curious about stories on how to approach potential customers without existing relationships. Do you just cold email them?

It strongly depends on what type of structure you can assume and how expensive sampling is. Dreamerv2, agent57 on Atari, dreamerv2 and the generalized agent model trained on 600 tasks by deepmind might be worth looking into for different ap

While the replies are jumping onto rent control (which is bad) the other parts of your suggestions bare a much better solution imo: public or for-public housing. My native germany also fucks this one up, but the best thing would he to use s

I looked at the book after this and have to say, I'd heavily recommend spending the next dew months just improving joins (and complex joins especially). Like GP says, relational modelling is the interesting bit about SQL and I don&#

Working as intended indeed,as they draw out anti-semitic comments even if you just discuss them, allowing us to debunk it https://www.facinghistory.org/holocaust-and-human-behavior/c... and be appropriately distrustful

I gew up close to Nuremberg and like to take a walk to visit the dead whenever I'm there, as well as check out various Nazi grounds which ...are just part of our history. My family is also of polish origin (I was born and raised in Ger

Right, but that's very abstract. So what value do you manage to add? Should I assume you develop custom/bespoke Software where two slightly distrustful parties have to share write/read access and use DLT to make it easier for

If you don't mind, how do you make money? I assume DLT means distributed ledger technology, and the monetizeable problems this solves seem scarce to me (except the grifts bothering OP)

The difference is that the arpanet and later the internet were amazingly useful from day 1 . In a sense we can applaud the cryptobros for funding basic research in cryptography and distributed systems, but as an investment or innovation, t

So you are saying there is no value to be extracted? Shocking

Using this logic, we can value 1 bitcoin at 7/1700* 442billion /21 million = 87$ (Bitcoin Tps divided by Visa TPS times first visa market cap I found divided by number of Bitcoins ). Except if course, if you buy a piece of visa, y

Yeah, this is the classic playbook of hype vendors. The bigger the claim, the less specific, the better, because specifics can be settled one way or another.

This is an overly cynical and more importantly, verifiably wrong take https://www.icij.org/investigations/panama-papers/20161201-g... Rant: Lazy cynicism like this does real harm, it stochastically propagates the

So basically, there is no interesting inherent property (no interesting math, no deeper dynamics), it just "solves" a problem DeFi created - and it only introduces a whole new layer of possible implementation errors and new types

On the flip side, having used C++, python+javascript (ahhhh) and Rust concurrency, I found the assurance and debuggabilty the type system gives you very relaxing. I can simply break down the problem into "model business logic" an

Can you please go into more detail on these "interesting properties"? I fail to see anything in terms of real analysis in the links you gave, simply descriptions of automated trading rules simple enough to be understood, but mathy

In a word, no. It's not concrete at all. How exactly would web3 technology solve all the issues these platforms are solving (including hosting, moderation, monetisation, dispute settling, software development etc.) we'll enough no

Thought experiment: if your whole decentralised trustless thing relies on some centralised economy to drive it (say in a conically extending square formation), it clearly is pretty useless, so imagine you could actually bever cash out your

If I remember the setup correctly, my reasoning is that two boxing is rational,anti-coercive and implementable, while one boxing requires accepting some magical predictor and also opens up the door for a bunch of "arguments" that

There's a lot of comments here and do far one thing which is missing to me the fact that we are seeing a classical libertarian playbook at play here: rail against the state while at the same time relying on regulatory capture. All stat

Stories from an exchange in Switzerlands, the experience in the two largest grocery cooperatives/grocery stores is quite different: you have the option of using your own phone to scan things, carry a scanner gun with you, or use a scan

We'll, in my native country, Taxis are actually working fine, they are regulated but with no cap on the licenses - uber eventually needed to apply for those as well. And we also have public transport and walkable cities. So it's

The thing is, as a co-op in a small and competitive market, it's not like you have much leeway for reputational damage. Unlike Uber, you can't really survive a scandal by filling in with profits from other cities or drivers. And

Why do you think a cooperative will be conscious about reputational awareness of reliability, but not about safety?
