the people who advocate for the "sunlight" idea are in actual fact advocating for the hate speech, and just trying to normalize it and help it spread.

there were, numerically, basically no alt-right people 20 years ago. now regular assholes are being infected by this stuff and a huge percentage of the information storm coming at me every day is either angry, an outright lie, a reposting of something hateful or untrue, and "sunlight" isnt helping anything. we are creating an insane landscape of anger, loathing and unreality, and now more and more public figures are amplifying it, including the owner of a major social media site.

sunlight being disinfectant is not true. stochastic terrorism driven by media hyper engagement is definitely true.

you people are really frightening

so your corollary to the No Free Lunch theorem is "Lunch Is Impossible"?

why are middle-ground (but SOTA) techniques like guassian processes and GBM regression not in this comparo

XML is the only one that was really as egregious, iirc.

anonymous doesn't mean private it just means no names.

idiot

also art and wine

it was only Musk posting that claimed there is any dispute in the first place, this seems like a weird made up drama.

how is the SEC worried right now about Twitter, a private company? I dont understand the question

haha good one. it is, but in a good way.

we need more open borders, at least here in North America. we need to bring people in to drive economic growth.

FTX was not a bank it was a hole for money to go into.

maybe its hard to be delta neutral in crypto where all the coins are like 95% correlated.

no he was bragging - a lot of the "trading" alameda did was participating and orchestrating "boxes" like what he so smugly described in the interview, which was horrifying to listen to.

just more super frightening symptoms of mass social media poisoning, I am sure its fine

as a candidate Beto is a joker but that is a class move

I would go much farther than this. It's not since the internet that the answer is no. It's since civilization that people collectively choose not to try to do everything themselves.

No one thinks it's a good idea to be your own bank. No one thinks they need to make their own shoes cars food computers hand tools ... the list is an enumeration of all the artifacts of civilization.

crypto is an anti-social fantasy at best, it flies in the face of reality.

smart greedy people who dont yet have enough money have to solve this problem. crypto is an opportunity to convince less-smart greedy people that "centralization" is socialist and bad, and get them to hand over their money.

I am up YTD and YOY

this has more in common with the S&L crisis than the .com crash. if you are going to use analogies to past events as a crutch

these nakedly fraudulent scams are nothing like real finance, its night and day. you need to get educated and then come back with better-informed opinions

forget simplicity - why is "self-custody" not a thing already with other currencies? let's start there.

thank you

yeah if only a few thousand crypto fanatics trade all these coins there is effectively no ecosystem and thus no upward price pressure to make the nerds rich.

I am planning a Show HN thread where I explain how to best experience twitter - use the HN search for "twitter" or "musk", sort the results by date. then only read and reply to comments on HN, DO NOT click through to the clickbait.

this is the most constructive way to experience twitter, you get the features of HN, with slightly less toxicity, without playing into the social media trap ( assuming HN is less harmful than the big socials)

this is a proper risk assessment

who will keep the value of coins pumped if normal people dont buy into the FOMO? seems like a fundamental problem if only a tiny hardcore of angry anarchists represent the demand for these coins

people just say it's a systems language, it doesnt have to be only this.
