Somewhat tangential... I clicked on the "Dithering" link on Gruber's website. It leads to a podcast of his. The cover image is a 6.6mb JPEG. Man, do you even know what "dithering" means?

I like a lot of the other answers, but this is clearly the most pragmatic one.

Philip Wadler gave us a sound type system. Rob Pike gave us a programming language for stupid people. Each contributed in their own way, towards different goals.

I'm not saying there is. I'm saying prediction markets aren't opt-in. Similar with war in general: the moment the decision makers can earn $$$ by betting on something unlikely and then doing it, we have a problem...

You can use GitHub pages. Or just set up one virtual server and host everything on it - I do that and it's pretty painless. The "10 services on AWS" is definitely the most painful way there is.

> Prediction Markets you don't have to participate, so no harm done. What if there's a prediction market on your life? Would you say you're still "not participating, so no harm done" ?

Can I use the 1 trillion dollars to make my jail stay more comfortable? If not, then I'm not interested. What would I do with 1 trillion dollars to offset the missing 10 years? Perhaps if there was a good chance I could prolong my &quo

I don't think there exists an amount of money I'd take in exchange for 10 years in jail, at any point in my life. 10 years is a long time. And sure, it depends on the jail... Can I like go for at least a short bike ride or go runn

No, abiding by Crocker's rules isn't that you don't take into account other people's feelings. It's that other people don't have to take into account your feelings .

Ah, so the property is owned by the people living there, while the land is owned by someone else? That sounds like a nightmare for everyone involved. Is this common in the UK?

The "agentic" tools follow instructions. We are adaptation-executers, following instructions evolution gave us. Don't think too highly of us humans. We're just tools evolution uses.

Ah but of course leeches are better off materialistically than the people who provide value! It's almost a tautology. But do you think they're happier? For example geohot could be vastly richer than he is if he wanted to. He wisel
