Part of the problem I think is that big investment companies and institutions (pension funds and asset managers) rebalance their portfolios in ever shorter intervals. The game has sped up dramatically. This means that big investors reevalua

I think we have to distinguish reaction and perception. A musician or gamer might perceive <5msec latency and it might be jarring/disturbing for them. This is different to actually reacting to events in <5msec time.

> You can just take connection and activation weights and write a simple neural network equivalent in an evening. And it would work about as good as a hardware simulation. I'm under the impression that this is very far from a settle

It's almost irrelevant whether the people proposing this law have good or bad intentions. The current establishment may mean well, but the road to hell us paved with good intentions. There is no guarantee that a regime in 30 years won&

I am a car enthusiast. I'd compare American cars to Nickelback (apologies for the meme). Technically not terrible, but for the same price you can get better quality, performance and style. Mind you, they are not all terrible. Ford make

There is ample evidence that dark matter exists, as in, there is something there that we can indirectly observe. We have fairly good ideas about what it isn't, we just don't know what it is for certain.

You seem to misunderstand the way an event horizon works. From the infalling object's (and the hole's) reference frame, the object crosses the event horizon in finite time and falls into the singularity. It is only from an observe

I live in Switzerland and domestic payments are near instantaneous and free. EU based payments are also free and settle within a day. Saying crypto can trade with low fees as some sort of unique benefit is either naive or disingenuous. Ther

Could you please explain succinctly why do you think that Bitcoin is undervalued, why should it produce solid future returns and why do you think it is a good investment for someone with (comparatively) little investable cash?

Sorry I worded that sentence poorly. Let's assume two scenarios: a) We create a 200 square mile solar field in the Sahara, from which cables run to Europe to supply electricity. To take this plant out, one just cuts the cables. There,

Ok so you are saying that the new solution isn't any worse in terms of security than the current one, so it's fine? In any case, you cannot compare this to oil pipelines directly because we can stockpile oil. Even if all the pipel

True, and this is a issue today as well. Which is why I think that proposing a solution that compounds this issue even further should not be taken lightly. Edit: put differently, why should we adopt a new solution that is even more exposed

I haven't ignored the part where you mentioned overprovisioning. Where do you propose to put the excess power during sunny days? Stable baseline sources like nuclear cannot just be shut down or spun up on a moment's notice to acco

How exactly do you propose to get that electricity from the desert to say Finland? Furthermore, you need to plaster a vast area in the desert with solar plants, which brings along all sorts of concentrated security risks. The alternative is
