The specific team the article mentions, the "inventing and building ethical AI [stuff]" seems like a very reasonable choice for layoff. This is a company in debit, and as such I see no good reason for them to have a long term, unk

Miners need not only to spend money on hardware, but also the upkeep of earning money by mining is expensive (electricity, or the cost of electricity generation). Thus, Proof of Stake let the rich grow their richness for doing nothing. In P

In otehr words: You have "faith" that cryptocurrencies are a fad, right? Some people spent dozens, maybe hundreds of hours understanding everything behind it, and those people colectivelly made Bitcoin worth what it is today. You

For ETH contracts to be be binding to things outside of the digital world there will be need for courts. But for small transactions that can be expressed in software, ETH is just a way to enforce the algorithm both parties agree on using to

The Bitcoin Whitepaper is fairly small and quite an easy read, and it is the source of all this ideas. There is only a couple of math formulas that you don't need to fully understand to understand the paper itself. Some of the concepts

It is really a canandrum IMO. Being untreceable like cash has advantages, for sure. But humans will always need to interact with each other, and some interactions rely on certain levels of trust. A small part of the reasons our society is s

Let's congratulate ETH from consuming 99.9 less energy, thus having 99.9% less value. IMO they essentially transformed something revolutionary, which is value secured by the masses. Anyone could mine and help ETH be secure. Now the ric

Unlikelly. Miners are still mining other crypto. Some believe ETH is worth nothing now that it is not PoW anymore, so they are choosing other crypto to mine.

I could instantly tell this was going to be good when I saw the blog layout. Somehow people who end up going super low level and writing about it have the most unexpected layouts too

Showing $10k way back in the day would be a bit misleading since every graph starts in a different day and the whole idea is that inflation makes $10k translate to different real world value (baguettes) across time. It could instead show ho

Very interesting that Firefox would have this level of integration with the OS. Firefox of old was criticized specifically for being completelly not native to macOS. Times change. I might give Firefox a shot in the recent future.

Even though I watch WWDC every year and the iPhone release event, I was surprised with how it works, and how fast it is. Basically hovering my mouse over any image (ouside of Google Chrome/Brave/Firefox) changes the cursor to sele

Macs and iPhones have been doing selectable text for a while now. Especially if you use Safari instead of Chrome. All images have selectable text since Monterey and iOS 15. It existed to a lesser extent in previous years. Some of the featur

Very few said people would use Chrome because it is better. The reason Chrome would take over would be market pressure and advertisement. And after they have like 50%, they won, as they will inexpensively make their market dominant products

We are just stalled as a society. Brazil is quite similar. All the legislators are having a lot of problem moving forward in either direction. This is not a problem with the system and it is not one party to take the blame alone. Until peop

It is more a wolf against wolf situations than wolf versus sheep situation. We are all humans and we can all reason and have conversations. In a democracy with two opposing parties we are way better off than in Russia. There you have a wolv

Yours is not the only comment I see here that eventually comes down to the OS discussion. We are supposedly talking about Safari, yet Safari is tied to iOS not to the hardware. People can install Brave or Firefox on Android. But they are no

I like your point and I smiled while reading it. I don't think this regulation is good either. But not for this particular reason. The iPhone is a general purpose smartphone, and your TV is not. The "smart" part of the smartp

Brilliantly said. This is a way better argument than Apple itself is presenting. But it does boil down to the same thing: Security. If you allow Chrome to be installed as a regular app (even if Apple allows JIT), it will not work. Therefore

So you will be satisfied if Apple provides you with the option to replace iOS by whatever OS you can put there? Apple bundles the three levels (hardware, OS and Apps) and sells you the hardware. But Safari is tied to iOS and not to the hard

There is not much surface area of attack outside of the browser and the incentive of pirated games is huge. Especially outside the US and EU where people barely have money for the consoles, so game piracy is the norm (Russia, Brazil, other

For all your criticisms against Safari you still bought the most expensive phone on their lineup. So I guess they got so many other things right so you apparently still believe they ship the best phone out there. I used to wish for Firefox

I am neither Republican or Democrat. I am Brazilian and moderate. But I would not go as far as saying any party is a threat. In society, all changes that were made too fast resulted in unexpected consequences. We might be in times of extrem

Humans can learn a lot from observing the world around them. We do this a lot as kids. So maybe seeing up-close details we either can't see with the naked eye or never payed attention before can be interesting. At least to me, it feels

Most people are not developers and most people don't provide SaaS products. They are only consumers of existing technology. In that sense, instead of enforcing non-existance of models, the enforcement could just make ilegal to provide

All the sibling comments are better guesses, but I would also guess there could be security implications on exposing lower level access. Having it all proprietary and undocumented is itself a way of making it harder to exploit. Albeit, as m

I agree the "lowest hanging fruit" is likely a key factor, as well as tuttoring. But I would also guess that being recognized as a genius was easier in past times, especially for aristocrat family members. The same way music artis
