I would NOT want to meet anyone from here tbh. I fear what people write here are how they are in real life.

Not saying they are bad people just from the bad takes and endless pedantic arguments are something I would quickly grow tired in a spoken conversation.

You can skip over paragraphs but in real life you can't.

holy cow! this is insane. should be possible to create a mesh, get stable fusion to generate a UV texture map too!

later we should be able to use prompts to generate 3d meshes with full uv texture map as photogammetry picks up pace.

first they came for 2D, then they will come for 3D.

Yes but likewise, the motives and their future intent is unknown by a sub optimal move. So in a sense, it is similar to bluffing when you don't know the actions of the other person, deception is required to make yourself unpredictable.

This is why playing against a maniac (seemingly random and not respecting bluffs or equity) is very difficult because if they get lucky enough times, they are able to "break the game" by getting the opponent to be extremely risk averse OR take on more risks.

I believe this is what Magnus is referring to, its that making yourself unpredictable by questionable moves and no longer playing in a way that has been taught.

For example the common strategy is to go all in with strong pairs like AA, KK but someone beats it with a totally random garbage hand (52o, 37o) and does so repeatedly, no theory can help you win against somebody who is just repeatedly lucky and brash.

Sellers too. Not to mention harassment/racism/phobia when the price isnt "right".

Facebook usage seems to be correlated with reduced cognition, it invites the bottom rung of society

Book burning used to be a thing. Now its content moderation.

One would think so but he is cash and says he is unsure. He thinks that inflation may not be curbed even with low double digit rates!

"how was i supposed to know the phone i bought on craigslist had a payload?"

plausible deniability.

edit: please dont actually do this.

How does one monetize and sell slack bots, is it even done?

now what if you bought the phone off craigslist?

what if its a laptop now?

The only reason for me to consider Caddy was reverse proxy. Now that reason is gone and I'm happy with nginx

This is the answer I was looking for but sadly, this type of insignificance becomes ammunition for managers/founders who are obsessed with novelty

It means the stream of capital being injected into companies, startups, incubators is inversely correlated to fed interest rates.

Likewise for real estate sector, the monthly mortgage payments increase as rates rise and that puts a big strain on the mortgage holder to continue.

Now instead of real estate, think startups, stocks, tech. Everybody is beholden to the obligations at the rate dictated by the fed.

I believe this attitude is local to HN. I don't see employers ditching Figma, they are locked in.

Personally if I was a shopify employee and I was looking at all these layoffs coinciding with rate rises with more to come, I would think liquidity will quickly dry up and opt for cash.

I am open to rebuttals but I'm hearing that we will be seeing double digit interest rates again like the 70s.

When they were printing money endlessly and rates were low, your strategy is sound. However, the house of cards is now crumbling and there is no end in sight to rate rises.

My hedge fund manager friend for a private family office is saying we will see double digit rates by end of 2023. If you believe this then you know what to do. If not, you should at least think what such macro conditions would do to liquidity.

Interesting, do you have plans to support GPU as well? I can see this is a bottom up approach: put a low load instance close to the user for reads and have a globally synced write that should handle race conditions etc

Are there cold start delays? From the moment I type domain.com is it going to spin up a fly instance closest to me and serve the SQLite database reads?

I'm gonna give this a go this weekend to see what it can do

hmm but how would the replication and sync be handled if you have many sqlite instances on edge locations around the world? If someone inserts a row with id 234 and somebody from other side of the world does it, wouldn't this type of logic involve reaching into a central source of truth to compare the diff?

tryna wrap my head around this architecture, it is quite interesting but concerning that it is now sharding into close-to-local sqlite instances located near the user.

ah thanks for pointing that out, since this is new its bound to change. will be surprised if this didn't eventually scale to zero but if I had to bet I would back AWS here going forward. This is way too critical for it's serverless stack to get the Cognito treatment.

interested to know what you see in sqlite here? why is there so much interest in this all of a sudden lately? am I missing something?

Seeing how many MongoDB instances were running wide open to the internet despite calls to not do so, your concern is certainly valid.

For many fly.io is not a viable alternative especially those that are already on the AWS train.

I think that AWS already offers Aurora Serverless v2 which pretty much accomplishes what a lot of these me-too-serverless services that won't integrate as well as something that is offered out of AWS.

Even if you were insistent on cloud-agnostic mandate (which is really not logical since there is at best 3 public clouds to choose from that are also vulnerable to targeted cyberattacks and faultlines), it would be hard to convince a large organization to switch to using Sqlite on Fly.io

It's worse than ponzi, its securities fraud.

but are you willing to walk away from your current job where your employer won't share your sentiments? Are they going to switch to a Figma alternative because of ideology and emotions tied to the change in ownership? Isn't it more likely that the product will work as is and businesses won't face any direct interruption because owner changed?

I think Adobe made a smart decision, businesses are locked in and unlikely to switch once something is deeply integrated to their application design workflows.

"Corner the market, and raise the price." In this case, outsource the former and in-house the latter.

This type of multiples is only possible when rates are low. Likely their last infusion of capital made their valuations possible but I reckon it is reduced as rates are ticking up fast.

The whole time we were on a zoom call and didn't notice anything.

> You're confused, in a ponzi earlier investors are paid from the investments of future investors.

so you mean like pre-mine token sales? wait aren't those securities because there is an expectation of returns from the work of others?

what you write here could be used against you, consult your lawyer before you admit anything!

> ... maybe we shouldn't have spent years telling them they weren't allowed to have an opinion because it didn't concern them.

that never stopped women from doing what they want. you are completely brushing past the main issue which is apathy towards privacy which is not remotely related to women's rights portrayed by mainstream media and your language generalizes 100+ years of women, who regardless societal expectations, went on their own because they believed they had same rights as any other human. It's sad that the same spirit is now being used as shields to derail completely unrelated issues that by mere association of gender, calls for a complete review of a certain political lens that we are all familiar with. Save us the grace here honey.

well it certainly won't be used to mine Ethereum anymore and if this is the trend we will see more "high volume" coins see dropping PoW even further.

Those pile of GPU are going to be a write off since prices are dropping and supply issue improves as well.

I wonder what will happen now that the ponzi structure is now gained new velocity as energy constraints have shut down proof of work mining. PoW creates centralized collusion between those who can afford the best miners and this helped the velocity of the chain itself since it is only as good as the last mined block.

Now that layer is gone, its this proof-of-stake which is a bit funny since, Ponzi schemes are also proof-of-stake, where the previous investors stake's performance signals the next until the order books flip to a highly skewed with a very long til, it results in the last group who were late to the party, get caught with the bags.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are many whales dumping as they would know (and I hope so) what the new paradigm shift is in this digital ponzi gold rush.

Also rather anxious for these fellas who promoted securities written on ethereum. The SEC flat out came out and said almost all cryptocurrencies passes the howey test recently. This PoS seems perfectly timed for the occassion.
