Instead of banning proof of work they should firewall crypto assets from the traditional financial system. "Let crypto burn" as they say, both figuratively and in the practical sen…

Expecting Galactica to produce truthful academic papers is just about as sensible as expecting to find a significant other among your kitchen appliances. Language models are a way …

If one could reliably detect this DLL injection in the process address space, then the correct "fix" is to crash immediately. Authors of such tools should seek another way of accom…

Google flights already has an "access to the overhead bins" tick box, but yes, there is space to improve the comparison.

Weight is largely irrelevant. The difference between a airliner full of 45Kg people versus 90Kg people constitutes about 5% of the total plane weight. Some fuel savings but would n…

You aren't going without any luggage, but just what you can fit behind the seat in front - and you can fit multiple change of clothes there, I assure you.

>So how far and for how long do you think someone can fly with a luggage that fits under their seat? In any 1 week vacation to any destination around the world? People are diverse …

Firstly, travelers are consenting adults that should understand and accept the baggage policy - or use a different airline. The market is extremely competitive. Secondly, as a pers…

This industry can only exist because labels and artists are not willing to sell tickets at the market clearing price, since they would be seen as exploitative by their own fans. So…

I think a solution that actually helps the commons is to time-bomb the "Commons Clause" for a 3-5 year period, after which the software reverts to full open source (similar to the …

Wikipedia quickly gets political. Even in technical articles, there is an incentive to impose one's own perspective for his field as the "authoritative" version. An important part …

Again, if we can't conserve it, it's impossible to waste it. It's a logical contradiction. It's like wind power, you either tap it and use it or not, either way it's gone. The fact…

> If one's account is suspended they cannot - by definition - access Trump's tweets. Since that is clearly not true, one practical effect is that it's setting a very low bar the di…

So if mr. Trump declares his Twitter account "not a public forum, but a section dedicated to publishing official supportive replies, that by default publishes all replies and selec…

Well, that discrimination exists on the current White House site. I just went there and on the front page I found this article, that quotes some people friendly to Trump's policies…

Then... how do you propose to conserve it? If you can't speculate it, then by definition you can't ration it. (By the way, if you read the article, it nicely explains how the US He…

> Trump could “mute” users, meaning he would not see their tweets while they could still respond to his, she said, without violating their free speech rights. Herein lies the probl…

Markets can predict future shortages and rise prices in anticipation. Nobody wants to sell cheaply today if they can get more than the prevailing interest rate by sitting on the re…

It's a good example of the same underlying economic incentives. An EDA title is used by a few tens of thousands of professionals, at best. Large investments into making it more use…

It's just incredible how complex and advanced the hardware got, but at the same time, how crappy and inefficient the software on top of it is. I know it's simple economics and the …

I think I've cracked it: it does not work in Firefox Private mode.

Can't really figure it out. I try to login and put mastodon.social in the Add instance field, but I get an error: > Error: undefined. Is this a valid Mastodon instance? Is a browse…

10 times the distance to the Moon at an average speed of 0.1c takes about two minutes. So you would launch thousands of these crafts in the general direction of the target system a…

I'm not sure that's an advantage. It adds a strong political component to something that's unlikely to be a cost effective weapon. So foreign powers will contest it and domestic po…
