Moneyyyyy··on My pay went from $240k to $0
Not getting it.

Why would his salary change?

Or is this again a waitress issue? Instead of paying them proper money they get nothing and royalty?

Moneyyyyy··on The first empirical study of the real-world economic effects of new AI systems
I have seen demos from azure got service and how easy it is to configure and use.

It's production ready. Companies only need to start using and fine-tuning it.

This should get rid of plenty of manual service request.

And in my opinion the biggest leap is that it's now much easier than ever to fine-tune something like this.

The last 1% does need much much less personal

Moneyyyyy··on Brain activity of dying people shows signs of near-death experiences
The idea of a soul independent of our body is fantasy and not based on anything.

We know that you can't survive without a brain. We know that your personality changes if your brain gets damaged.

It's very far fetched to talk about soul as anything else than just fantasy.

Moneyyyyy··on Unity to lay off 8% of its workforce
Unity sold it's soul when doing this Deal with this shitty ad company.

So...

Moneyyyyy··on Passkeys: The beginning of the end of the password
At least Google does those things as an open standard.

So it should be easy for everyone else to do their own.

"might".

Fabs (especially the ones who can build the chips we talk about) are not build on a crypto hype and also not build short-term.

Hard to argue if you don't bring proof or anything.

51% is still possible. See the last Blogpost about it on hn 1-3 weeks ago.

El Salvadors people are suffering under Bitcoin.

And yes pls tell me how you actually use BTC on a daily basis.

Moneyyyyy··on Beware of AI pseudoscience and snake oil
Plenty of good science is out there.

And yes the current stage gives us a very very clear path ahead.

There is also now gpt4 model available on openai which has access to python and can run it.

We are definitely going in the direction of LLM combining with GAN ideas.

Googles med ml (I think it's med-palm-ml)model is progressing too.

This hype is not just a hype it's the unknotting of the ml knot.

We know for a while that plenty of actors do stuff with ml but it wasn't as good and as obvious to people like now that ml is super crazy critical.

Moneyyyyy··on Brain activity of dying people shows signs of near-death experiences
Yes there are clearly real magic questions like why are we, where are we etc but not if we have a soul
Moneyyyyy··on Brain activity of dying people shows signs of near-death experiences
Why do we clinge on this type of ideas?

It's an EEG not a super high resolution device.

Yes our brain does stuff at the edge of breaking. EEG changes somehow when we put ourself under anesthesia . Still we don't really get it.

And weirdly enough comments here go into afterlife and other esoteric stuff.

We know enough about our brain that we know we are our brain...

You are posting this and take that serious?

Have you read his wiki page or other sources?

His methods is wishful thinking.

I'm very curious what gives you the feeling that you would trust that stories.

Moneyyyyy··on The kingdom of Bhutan has been quietly mining Bitcoin for years
Yes and that's the problem.

Bitcoin can incentive a local market in a global scope.

Bitcoin is a horrendously horrible virus.

Quite crazy to think about that this virus might be invented all over again somewhere Ina distant Galaxy far far away.

Moneyyyyy··on The kingdom of Bhutan has been quietly mining Bitcoin for years
Those Asics basically have been made and will be thrown in the trash.

And the only thing they ever did was guessing a hash.

Our economy needs enough chips without demand from Bitcoin. The only thing this did was making it more expensive for everyone.

Moneyyyyy··on Adult-use cannabis delivers $15B in tax revenues
Alone decriminalization is huge. You can lose your f driver license when they caught you anywhere.

And the cat is out of the bag. Creating a canabisclub should be easy enough.

Moneyyyyy··on Adult-use cannabis delivers $15B in tax revenues
In Germany it will be allowed to have three plants at home.

And canabisclub who is doing the growing for/with you.

This should allow for more grow culture.

Moneyyyyy··on I was laid off in retaliation for anti-discrimination whistleblowing
If the company is in the USA and leadership doesn't like LGBTQ than there will be no chance one way or the other to change that org
Moneyyyyy··on The kingdom of Bhutan has been quietly mining Bitcoin for years
It's all bad.

The chip shortage last year which affected cars, roof window, refrigerator etc were also affected by ASIC production for Bitcoin miners

Moneyyyyy··on The kingdom of Bhutan has been quietly mining Bitcoin for years
Ah yes the unused water plant payed and build basically for fun.

Now after building this for millions the country is searching for a solution to do with this magic free energy source.

And instead of trying to use it for something at the end guessing a hash wins.

What a Kafkaesque world we live in.

Moneyyyyy··on The kingdom of Bhutan has been quietly mining Bitcoin for years
Oh how about saving CO2? Because climate change will be even more expensive.

Or creating or just using your own currency?

There are a lot more good options than shitcoins

Moneyyyyy··on The kingdom of Bhutan has been quietly mining Bitcoin for years
It's good enough from a demand perspective.

Chips are not made after lunch until evening. They are made weeks and month ahead

Moneyyyyy··on The kingdom of Bhutan has been quietly mining Bitcoin for years
And Bitcoin is so stable and international accepted and not able to be attacked by a 50% attack that it's better to use in a crisis than gold and food?

Have you seen someone trading worthless money into BTC in a crisis? No you have not.

Either you keep Bitcoin and start really using it globally or this argument is wrong.

And you can see in El Salvador how bad it is.

Moneyyyyy··on The kingdom of Bhutan has been quietly mining Bitcoin for years
And resources are not endless and instead of reducing CO2, we try random hashes

Great...

Moneyyyyy··on The kingdom of Bhutan has been quietly mining Bitcoin for years
People want to have as much BTC as possible.

Which means Bitcoin mining is a virus searching and consuming as much cheap energy as possible.

We are not at a point we're the margin is so small that we see consumption/mining shifting. We only see consumption and more consumption.

And of course this totally decentivie making the energy usable through things like high voltage DC lines or metal smelting or even making hydrogen.
