I agree that if a sub agent could work then handoff is the wrong skill. These docs on the site agree too: > What it buys is portability, not compression. That makes the skill narro…

What a great seminar, that was. I really appreciated his advice on writing recommendation letters, too: the expectation is shifted wildly towards effusive. If you are plainly compl…

Ahah! I see it now, thanks.

Fascinating. Thanks for the clue. It's the most complete blank for me of all the tests. I looked up the reference image, but still cannot see it in figure 2G. I can't even guess at…

It seems that Aphantasia does not globally bin into two groups, since I don't fit in either. By my rough count of Figure 2 tests, where Derek is at 0 to Loren at 6 (ignoring F), I …

I don't buy that the reversion to income tax should happen on high percentage gains if the absolute gains are low. I think the tax could be made even more progressive. Something li…

Based on context, you seem to be referring to gas when you say 12 million "ether gwei" (the block limit being 12 million gas, lately). But gas is its own unit, not measured in ethe…

Yeah, digital-only NFTs will likely be a fad. I'll be interested again when the trend moves toward deeds. A title for a physical work could have staying power. Even potentially an …

> Hypothesis is pretty smart to find edge cases that you usually don't think of. This is worth reemphasizing. For certain kinds of hard problems, I've found it really valuable for …

Tail call optimization is appealing. Sometimes recursion is the cleanest implementation, but call depth is not known up front.

RIP Pat Winston - he infuriated me the most when he said something so obviously true and which I wanted to be false. One example: "No one will ever read your paper in entirety, so …

`if re.match(p1, line) as m`, maybe?

Was this a traceable ring signature[1], or something different? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_signature#Applications_an...

It's even worse than that: politicians created over-reaching laws and enforcement, to demographically target political opponents and take away their right to vote. > "The Nixon cam…

The link said triple blind, technically -- ”Masking: Triple (Participant, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)”

> You can only do that if the transaction is atomic, which requires that the tickets and money are on the same blockchain and exchanged in the same transaction. Yes, they should be…

The most natural follow-up to currencies on a blockchain are assets, like a ticket to a concert, shares in a company, or a deed to a car. Once more assets are represented this way,…

Agreed, in most situations. One counter example: If your processes in sum tend to A) access many disk locations, at large total disk space B) hold a lot of underused data in ram Th…

> And worse, its energy consumption is not a function of its transaction volume, but of its price in fiat. It's also a function of time, dropping in half every ~4 years. (Rounding …

> Also, Ethereum is in a quagmire regarding scaling. "Quagmire" is a bit provocative, but yes scaling is a serious problem that needs to be solved. > In fact, I do believe it's che…

That's terrible news. I was undergrad there in mid 2000s, and perceived that some, but not all, of these issues had improved. Being a man, and less attentive to the issues at the t…

>There is no way you could push down the market 10 percent today. GDAX fell about 8% yesterday, from $96.82 to $89.07 in one hour (May 4, 9-10am) with about $2 million worth of tra…
