Neural networks existed since the 1970s.

The problem is that code is hard to write. AI just doesn’t solve it. This is opposite of crypto, where the product is sort of good at what it does, (not bitcoin, though), but we don’t actually need to do that.

True, but line isn’t going down yet.

1000 years, that’s when the region becomes habitable once again.

He got into working satellite internet before everyone else

Satellite internet has existed before Starlink. What’s novel about starlink is that the satellites are much closer to earth, which allows for a low ping, but comes at the cost of needing to replace the satellites every few years, as they’ll deorbit by themselves, and needing a whole lot more of them. It only offers an advantage over cheaper alternatives (terrestrial internet or satellite internet in geostationary orbit) when you’re somewhere without proper infrastructure, and those areas tend to not be wealthy. So, the question is, is there enough demand to pay for replacing the entire constellation of satellites every few years?

Well, seems like he learned his lesson. Would have been better if he had learned it before his bad advice got children killed, but at least he learned instead of doubling down.

Mistaking the map for the territory. The argument isn’t that bitcoin is bad because it’s used to buy drugs, it’s bad because the network would choke if it even had to handle the economic activity of a moderately sized town.

I though the idea was to deface the post to show that you disagree with it.

What did you have mind?

I figure a ban of targeted advertisement would look like “The ads are only allowed to change once a day, and everybody during said day sees the same ads”. Whereas currently, each time you load a website, there’s an impromptu auction to sell the ad spots. (Advertisers don’t actually have to pay until you click their ad). So there would be less incentive to keep the user constantly engaged, as it would be enough if the user just visits regularly.

I’ve been trying to remember the name of this number. Thanks.

If you do the 1st one, then most companies likely wouldn’t bother with such algorithms anymore.

Fun fact, but you can’t really do much if the police decide to just take your stuff, because they have guns. And likely more than you do.
