Crypto Is a Threat to the U.S. Financial System

Yes, that's what it was designed to be

Can’t be right, can it? It would make the Sun (over 4 billion years old) an enormous outlier.

Yes. That fact that I'm thinking made me think I was certainly wrong

If I got the math right, then about 1 in every 32,000 stars in the universe goes supernova each year. That's scary. But I think I'm getting the math very wrong.

edit: I guess my error might be related to confusing a probability factor with the number of incidents in a period.

edit: The right answer is probably up to 1 in every 10bn stars go supernovae in the universe each year (or 1 in 10bn die and a fraction are supernovae). Thanks: yzydserd and zild3d

$175M quickly becomes meaningless in this context, believe me. It's already much more than you need.

That research was published before Bolt hacked another 0.1 seconds off the record, when he cut it down in one event from 9.69 to 9.58

I don’t think the research stands up.

I don’t see that there’s any good text to vid generator for your needs currently

They’re restricted or not good enough

Wait a month or three

Couldn’t it be as simple as a face recognition unlock?

There’s an option on iPhone’s FaceID to require eyes open and looking at phone to unlock, but this might have been deselected. Or it could be subverted.

I agree that alignment would be a massive challenge. There aren’t even cameras on the satellites to help with visual alignment. There’s also the possibility of damage from the pushing or the ion exhaust, more so if the imperfect alignment sets them spinning

The Starlink satellites were not released into the correct orbit. SpaceX is using their ion thrusters to try to raise the orbit, but Elon Musk said this isn’t likely to succeed.

Could SpaceX use one satellite to push another?

This procedure would deliberately sacrifice the pushing satellite, but maybe give the pushed satellite enough additional delta-v to reach a working orbit.

I think I understand how a mining pool works. How would "huge payment commissions and payment pools" reduce the high PoW energy costs which the research claims? (I won't say the theory in the original post is correct. I am agnostic about that, as it's a hard equation to resolve)

The conclusion, if my understanding is correct, is that it is, but other cryptocurrencies may not be

Quote:

First, coins like Bitcoin, which are based on the proof-of-work algorithm, are likely more energy intensive than mainstream finance. (But note that this intensity seems to be declining with time.) Second, coins like Ethereum, which are based on the proof-of-stake algorithm, are likely (far) less energy intensive than mainstream finance.

So that’s what the data says. But somehow, I feel like this evidence will satisfy neither the crypto critics nor the crypto advocates. And that’s why in the appendix, I add some obligatory speculation. But for now, let’s conclude with just the facts. To date, it seems clear that Satoshi’s claims about Bitcoin’s superior ‘efficiency’ have not come to fruition.

I don't know. Though FYI your title should say 12 AI startups, not startup. You may edit it now.

if the judge releases him from custody, "Will SBF do more interviews?"

Because he has such a great tendency to shoot himself in the foot in the legal sense, it sounds as if encouraging the judge to grant his release so he can carry on incriminating himself in interviews would be a smart strategy from the prosecutor's POV

Maybe his own lawyer will be arguing against release

When you afford SD img2img influence with a high strength parameter, so it can change the colors of a photo, you also are letting it have enough influence to redesign the room at random and not just changing the colors

Dreambooth trained on the ground truth photos might help a bit

The gold layer may have been on the inside

It's possible that the most useful data you can provide are your human observations, especially those about people you encounter. Maybe most of the statistical and numerical measurements that you have suggested might not be really useful, because there could already be good sources for them

The parent poster already addressed that

Thank you for your comment, but I don't agree

"telling the user that the username they typed exists, but they haven't offered the correct password for it" - is extremely different from Just telling the user 'wrong password'. It's different because it provides more information

If you inform the user the username they typed exists, the chance of them not thinking about double-checking they didn’t mistype their own username increases.

That seems to be a user problem first of all, because it's based on the user's mistaken belief about the uniqueness of usernames. If possible, it would be best to help the user understand this.

You can provide a more helpful error message by explicitly informing the user that the username they typed exists but they haven't offered the correct password for it.

Unless the site searches to find out which username the entered password actually corresponds to (which is a whole new, terribly dangerous, can of worms), it can't do better than that

Because any malicious player can easily check whether usernames exist, so hiding that data point is not much good for security.

Perservance doesn't have solar panels. It's powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator

I assume there are also worries about letting the helicopter fly near it, in case of damage

How about a data center onsite?

Google's machine translation was terrible years ago, I agree. But it is now much better. Although it's still far from perfect, it has improved lots. Therefore I disagree that Google has failed at that

This pandemic literally started with local politicians and bureaucrats, in Wuhan, lying to their central government and to the media about its effects, and grossly under-reporting deaths. This accelerated the spread, or may even mean they missed a window of opportunity to stop the spread.

It's obvious that officials have many incentives to downplay the impact, and dodge and shift blame. When local officials lie, their national government will probably repeat the lies, perhaps unknowingly

Please just upvote in that case. Because if we all commented "exactly this", or the opposite, this forum would become unreadable. Thank you.

They refer to 'thousands of gallons of chain-and-bar oil... carried into the forests' every year

Is this quantity significant?

Game theory. If the idea occurred to you, then one can almost guarantee it will eventually occur to others - and to someone at your competitor.

With that understanding, there's only one rational course of action: to secure your supply before they do, and your competitor realized all this.

The only real decision to make is whether to risk the more aggressive move of also locking up your competitor's supply.
