We have no idea what the realities of their lives are.

We only know the basic facts of the wrongdoing that’s been reported here, which is of course fine to criticize.

YC isn't that unknown and you can absolutely judge that org for funding stuff like this, you really don't need that much detail. And if you have interacted with a lot of the "founders" you know that statistically you're in the clear to judge them all too. It's a pretty weird world where a lot of dumb exists, like A LOT. The realities of their lives are frankly immaterial anyway, it's about the output (and input in case of VC money).

This is so stupid. One of the main reasons it's become a dystopian, hellish process is because people cheat; proliferating cheating will make it even worse.

Lying and cheating on a job interview isn't a victimless crime. You're harming the company and all your coworkers when they hire you into a job you're not qualified for; you're harming all the other actually qualified candidates that didn't get hired instead; you're harming yourself, when your salary comes from a company who rely on you to give something you can't give them.

Well be prepared for it to get MUCH MUCH worse, two AI agents battling it out trying to get each other to mess up. While all the human have no idea what the hell is happening.

I'll admit that there have been times I've been listening to those hour-long music videos (but not "music videos" you know) on YouTube, and only thought to check they were AI later. I was very disappointed to find out they were. Really wish there was attribution to the training material. The good news is that it doesn't look like this is AI, so we may just be returning to a time where physical appearance of the artist doesn't matter vs their talent.

This is just an animated movie sound track which had a normal production team and voice actors.

unfortunately the same thread has been had for any tangentially crypto thread on HN for the last decade and a half, so it just doesn’t feel like my prerogative to answer such a lazy and abstract question

yes, that means we are at an impasse. use the search, ask an LLM, if even that is too much initiative for a quite outdated skeptic to take even now then I can’t help you

there are hundreds of billions, maybe trillions in volume going through financial services on blockchains and it doesn’t matter if financial services isn’t a sector you care about or are the target audience for, there are people there who will pay to solve problems they have

EraYaN · 2 months ago

Most of the financial services and systems are all still on very boring old databases (hell quite some cobol still touches a ton of it). Since well they don't need to get hype funding for their Series A or whatever. Databases are just pretty good and processing data efficiently. It's a tiny tiny part that actually runs on some blockchain.

It is a nice read but something tells me it’s AI generated due to the frequent em dashes so I wouldn’t place all bets on it being entirely human written.

Edit: I apologies, the author has pre-gpt posts that use em dashes so likely it’s part of their writing style.

EraYaN · 2 months ago

If you use a nice enough writing tool it will do en/em and any other dash for you semi automatically anyway. Even Word does it when AutoFormat is turned on. Although it normally chooses the En-dash (U+2013) instead of the Em-dash (U+2014), this also depends on your language.

> run a ~5k node server fleet,

That is why RedHat wants it. What does it help on the laptop that I am writing this?

And what happens when you upgrade that fleet (unless you're doing clean installs) and sytemd-resolved is not resolving anything? (Just the most recent thing I've had)

EraYaN · 4 months ago

Well the key is to always do clean-installs and join the fleet and decommission the old machines. Machines are essentially immutable and disposable, so upgrades are done with full machines. And if anything hardware goes bad on whole or sometimes half racks.

It will have atleast be > than zero, and doing it every year instead of giving it away to some overpriced CEO will it will accumulate.

I don't think you quite get how little money it is for these types of operations, 25m is essentially missing 2-3 zeros before it becomes anywhere near usable and even worth it to bother.

Right, low profit margins are not a valid argument for why it’s invalid for consumers to suspect there is some inefficiency compared to other markets. Saying the system must be efficient because profits are low is like saying boiling water should be as cheap as 98->99 degrees C because it’s just +1 C - profit margins aren’t as good an indicator of whether there is an unusual amount of disorder in the system, compared to extremely context-sensitive resource costs for hypothetically identical systems.

I think the point is more that the insurers are not the real target for your wrath. You should not motivate your congress person to do something about the insurance necessarily. It's probably better to look at a level further up the chain for example.

While having above ground power lines

While having unmanaged accumulated flammable brush

While having an empty reservoir under repair

While having the public water source unable to maintain water pressure for multiple hydrant usage

While having too few fire fighters dispatched in the area anyway

While having houses made out of wood

is it an ignorant take when the houses not made out of wood with their own watersource were able to withstand 100mph wind gusts and firestorm? it really really makes everyone else look ignorant

All of those are a result of American's favorite hobby though, not maintaining infrastructure, because ooh no taxes. LA has not raised enough revenue for decades it seems. The amount of pot holes in even the most expensive neighborhoods was already to damn high.

At some point the US really needs to do bit of cultural reform so they can start paying for all that low density development and the costs associated with it. So stuff can actually be maintained.

I am a bit sad I finished factorio space age, it was such an amazing game, I wish I could have spent more time on it.

All good things have an end.

I really hope Wube could make it more interesting to play in multiplayer, in games of 50 or 100 players, unfortunately there are no incentives for it.

I suggested to add some resources trading and currency, coupled with a land ownership system, to prevent trolls and scale the game so that any player can join, but it would probably require some balancing.

This game is already 10 years old and still going strong.

Unfortunately mods are not very good quality, or too difficult to enjoy.

Space age is interesting because new planets are being added by fans, but I don't think they're going to be as well designed and really bring anything interesting.

EraYaN · 8 months ago

For multiplayer it's really about the people you play with, with is the incentive. Basically doing that stuff with friends is a ton of fun. And you can also include some people new to the game which multiplayer makes much easier for them.
