So I'll tell you right now that I don't have proof or evidence for my claims, but my impression is that: - Agreed that the solution will not be just blindly pouring more money into community resources. But I am not convinced that

Also these kids will grow up to do harm to the communities in that state, which will spend more money at the end cleaning up those mistakes.

I'm a bit biased here, but I feel like the more form factors we introduce, the worse apps are going to get as developers now have to account for it (and they won't, eg YouTube on ipad). Do people actually like foldable phones enou

- If an AI provider has control over the AI algorithm running in the secure enclave, they can easily have functions that provide them the plaintext through a separate channel. secure enclave does not prevent that - The output can reveal inf

If I used regular encryption to send my credit card information to an AI with fraud detection, the provider still needs to decrypt that data on their side at some point before it goes into the AI. Using this other encryption, the provider h

Thanks for the suggestions. Just checked out some of Le Ton Beau de Marot, will most likely read the rest. Actually, I was recently wondering whether poems can be interpreted as "efficient" computer programs. Words in a sentence&#

Yes, that trust is the fundamental difference. However, that trust costs money in the form of needing more nodes. You usually can trust your bank, as long as you trust your government. Regulations make it difficult for banks to misbehave. T

My point is that blockchain is just a technology - nothing about the technology itself makes the concept of transferring money cheaper. I agree that it is another competitive avenue for transactions, but if it became a threat to payment pro

I wonder if there is something to be said about how machines are based on deterministic and algorithmic properties, whereas emotions could potentially involve logic beyond what humans can observe, like quantum interactions.

I feel I can empathize with the ideology, and I want to argue that an idea like this is a big piece of some puzzle. The puzzle: During the collapse, I think the biggest thing we would lose is our ability to communicate with each other in a

I like that all the products of Supabase are front and center with clear and concise descriptions of them and good landing pages with each of them. They all give (IMO) an optimal level of detail. The "New to Postgres?" link I agre

Great example. would not expect anything less from a project focused on UI elements. https://www.chakra-ui.com/ as well. Blog posts and websites that talk about web UI theory or features that demo their components natively
