  • I never said we shouldn't make any errors. That's ridiculous. I said we shouldn't make such foolish errors.

    For example, we shouldn't dump radioactive material into water. See? It's a foolish error you can't reverse. Are you getting it yet?

    Here is another. We shouldn't dumb radioactive smog from burning coal into the air. Can't reverse that, either. Oops...we are already doing that? Oopsie, maybe some higher authority will come reverse it for us?

    There are countless high-stakes operations that cannot be reversed for good reasons. I believe that money transfers is one of those things, because the alternative is batshit crazy authoritarian surveillance and control.

    Anyway, you're blocked, I don't have much energy to spare for people lacking basic rational thought. I reserve that energy for feeding birds, petting dogs, water plants, and other such things. They say less, but make so much more sense than you, and have a better vibe. Enjoy your day!

  • I don't want some central authority orbiting over my finances capable of reversing something because of "error". The ability to reverse a transaction means complete surveillance, control, and submission to an authority figure. No thanks.

    I would rather be in a society that doesn't make such foolish errors to begin with, and takes responsibility when they make a mistake. Measure twice, cut once.

  • Crypto solves it by providing an auditable public ledger following mathematical rules agreed upon by all parties utilizing it. It has a predictable and transparent minting process and transactions are uncensored. Transfers are predictable and rapid. You can see exactly what's happening when you transfer. It doesn't stamp generated ids on people, instead the people report their identity to the network.

    It doesn't care how people acquire, so yes, people can use fake centralized money to buy real money if there are sellers willing to do that.

    There are many more benefits, but the point is, yes, it solves an enormous number of serious problems, many of which you definitely haven't considered.

  • This is a delusional take. What are you talking about? Have you looked at Bitcoin lately? It is over $100k....

    Tell me about "craters again" please?

    Cryptocurrencies are about the only tech right now that gives the common people a fighting chance. Never in history has there been a real competitor to bankers and their monopoly on value.

    I hope more people invest their life savings. If they can hold for 5 years, they will be wealthy.

  • No matter what your downvotes say or the ridicule you face, what you are saying is correct.

    If the general consensus had a functioning rational mind, our world wouldn't be boiling, corporations would be under control, and we'd all be living significantly happier lives.

    Unfortunately, that isn't reality.

    By extension, in general, the majority population isn't capable of reasoning through these things. So you will have an unpopular opinion until that changes, hopefully before the irreversible death of humanity on this planet.

  • How to poop outdoors in a way that won’t harm the environment and other hikers

    跳过

  • I shit just fine in CO with holes. Year after year I even watched some of my shit spots grow beautiful flowers.

    You don't own Colorado and it was there long before you. It will be there long after you. Remote forests handle our shit just fine. Dig deep enough and away from the trail or water, near some plants, and they will gobble it up no problem. The number of human hikers in remote places is minuscule.

    A bit wild to demand people shit in synthetic plastic bags they have to purchase and dump them in a landfill. "Leave no trace -- except the giant plastic waste sites scarring the landscape everywhere"

    Now if you're talking park trails and other heavily populated places? That's different. It also isn't "Colorado" it is a specific sub-specification.

  • How did it come to be that only two companies supply all of the world's PC graphics chips?

  • Why would I want to play at max settings? That adds very little to the gameplay for me.

    I can play any game tweaking settings, and I can render at 720p + upscale if a game is demanding. This makes nearly any game enjoyable.

    High settings are irrelevant, but if you want high settings, any AMD card from the past 2 years will more than deliver max performance for anything you throw at it.

    For a handheld, portable device that costs under $500, I am okay reducing graphics quality for portability and gameplay.

  • This is nonsense and, frankly, sounds like guerrilla marketing for nvidia.

    All things considered, I can play any game I want on the steam deck, which has an old SoC by today's standards. A newer AMD gpu can run anything at max settings on a linux machine.

    So again, either you are grossly misinformed or working for nvidia to sew gentle doubt. Either way, stop it.

  • Software like wgpu makes it much easier to close the gap between various GPUs. New compute languages that are backend-agnostic are appearing, in the same vein as taichi-lang, that make it significantly easier to make high-performance gpu kernels deployable anywhere.

    The compute groundwork for crossplatform tensor calculations is already here. Inference is already doable on any device. Training is not far behind. As a side-effect of this, processing on the GPU in every capacity, like physics, novel rendering techniques, or whatever else the imagination can muster, is now within grasp of "average" programmers.

    If you have always been intimidated by GPU programming, I urge you to take another look now. The landscape is radically different. The software moat everyone talks about with NVIDIA is smoke-and-mirrors. Cuda is old news, though I am speaking to the actual code landscape here, not the common mental consensus.

    What we lack now is cheap video cards that have high memory. I believe the current cards are overpriced by about 10 - 100x what they should be, because this profit situation is extremely temporary. Just as pens were once thousands of dollars, these compute devices will be collapsing in price.

    I welcome China building cheaper video cards. Hopefully we will all benefit from it before any robot wars break out.

  • Aren't eggs produced at industrial scales from chickens, who super-abundantly exist?

    How is that working out?

    In no universe does the economics of a $1 egg make sense, yet here certain countries are. Did you know you can have chickens in your backyard, and they'll turn bugs and cheap feed into eggs?

    The less you can offload production to central untrusted parties, the better. When you manufacture something yourself, you get to know all the properties instead of trusting that some people elsewhere (whose primary motivation is money) still considered your interests by making a quality product.

    So when you say "we," what does "we" mean exactly? It is rhetorical.

    Additionally, you get consistent reproducibility without reliance on large scale logistical networks. There are many other reasons I can think of off the top of my head beyond this.

    If we lived in a more cooperative world, with ironclad democratically owned logistics networks and manufacturing, centralized manufacturing would make sense in the way you say. But the reality is, we do not live in that world, and more and more, we are all increasingly feeling what that means.

  • As someone that also 3d prints screws, I can share my reasoning.

    I am a westerner living in a non-western country. Communication with local people can sometimes be difficult, especially on the acquisition of technical components, including with screws. Often I need a specific kind of screw for a specific task, and often the screw does not need to be particularly strong. I would rather communicate exact specifications to a computer and get exact results than be at the mercy of polite miscommunication, and have to adapt all my printing to what is available locally.

    I would also rather keep production as local as possible instead of outsourcing it to people I don't know, or having it flown overseas.

    In general, if I can 3d print something I need, I will. Having a database of parts, components, and tools is very helpful, even if it takes less time to just order it. There is a reproducibility, security, and satisfaction to doing it all yourself.

    As an aside, I have learned something. 3d printing has enabled me to live better than I did before leaving the western world, because I can make things now I never dreamed of before. This makes me realize that we can distribute and localize significantly more production than previously possible.

    I now believe every household should have a 3d printer and a laser cutter for this reason, and houses should be built with techniques and components that utilize both automatically as largely as possible. By democratizing production, power becomes much more distributed and equitable, without any claw backs of the old mechanisms of doing things.

    This also allows easy repairs or expansion of a house. Something breaks? Print or cut the part and replace it from a library of parts. Everyone can understand raw materials no matter where you go, so the standard of living becomes planetary.

    That is a part of the real change.

  • That's easy.

    Don't enter into an agreement to create an account. Accounts owned by service providers on behalf of users are a scam anyway.

    Instead, let users create their own credentials and allow them to interface with a service. That makes more sense for users anyway, and it sidesteps this sort of nonsense.

  • It isn't a witch hunt. He is a known child sex trafficker the and statistics are clear. The minuscule number of people exposed to him vs the size of the greater population isn't even a blip on the radar. These sorts of sex traffickers are experts at covering their tracks, so a wide net around the super tiny population exposed to this creep is not only sensible, it is really the only way forward to safeguard the future.

  • This will be my last reply to you because I already explained this very basic idea, so you are either an antagonist, trolling, or need to do some self-learning. I would recommend reading what I said again.

    An alien can come to Earth and use its UFO compute to mine bitcoin if it wanted.

    Someone in their garage could come up with a vastly superior way to compute hashes and mine bitcoin.

    Large mining farms could be banned and made illegal and smaller operations can instantly become profitable again.

    The list goes on, and on, and on, and on...
