Geohot has some bias to believe AGI would have to exist in meatspace, he has invested years into cracking self driving cars and dealing with the messy real world. He does plug open pilot at the end.

With game streaming as popular as it is, don’t these players post their esports career have an existing fan base to build a career by just streaming? Something very hard to do in traditional sports.

I’ve been thinking about how NFTs are different from ordinary “costly” signals. NFTs directly come with a price attached. An attached dollar value is the problem. The difference between receiving an expensive ‘looking’ gift and and a gift w

Unregulated exchanges might be worse for the society overall. NYSE and other centralised exchanges have alot of guard rails built to protect retail investors. For ex - a circuit breaker if the price jumps/crashes too suddenly to ease p

Hard-pressed to come up with something concrete but blockchain is a way to build consensus. Mostly, it's more expensive than centralized consensus. In some cases though, it's cheaper. For ex - Cost of consensus by the govt in a st

Maybe it's more than breaking the law. If I want to bet on something random, say, 'if it will rain tomorrow in my hometown', it's pretty hard to do without a blockchain unless I know the other party. A prediction market

Browsers are cited as an example of interoperable tech in the article. While it maybe true that *anyone* can write their browser, we see that Chrome does have inordinate amount of power. Even though it's literally based on an open-sour

I might be wrong but what you pointed out is exactly why NFTs might succeed. Sure Nintendo has enough credibility to own and operate its own market, but for people who are trying to compete with Nintendo, the fact that artefacts are tradabl

Neither a gamer nor a miner but would love some perspective here because something about this doesn't make sense to me. If Nvidia has the capability to make a differentiated mining product, shouldn't that be enough to get miners t

The FDA rushing the approval of vaccine that might turn out to be unsafe harms their credibility in the long run. The worst case scenario of a hastily approved vaccine is so high that it probably makes sense to bear the cost and take the he

The tradeoff is to keep design complexity as low as possible while carving out sections of the chip for specialized tasks. Apple’s new M1 chip has a ‘neural processor’ that works with Tensorflow to provide a speedup. They thought it was wor

Just trying to think functionally here: Netflix now has “interactive” video content (see: Bandersnatch). Isn’t a streaming video game service same as “interactive” video. If so, isn’t Apple almost saying they’d also have to approve every vi
