@npub1yck…ujmw okay so your idea of a bitcoin network that works well is one in which the majority of hash rate is controlled by state actors and in which NATO, SCO and some other loosely defined block somehow all control 33% roughly and for some reason are incapable of changing this balance of control and thus can't ever reliably perfom censorship (unless of course they agree to in specific cases)

2023-07-02 23:23:14

- reply

@npub1yck…ujmw considering the inequalities amongst state actors in terms of ability and desire to comandeer resources for the purposes of participating in a project whose stated goal is the obsolescence of fiat money (regardless of the logic or feasibility of this task), it would be outright fucking magical to discover that the hash rate is evenly distributed amongst all state actors

2023-07-02 23:11:47

- reply

@npub1yck…ujmw i mean for my point it doesn't really matter who most miners are. either one of two scenarios exist: mining hash rate is distributed and thus the majority of hash rate is subject to economic requirements or it's not distributed because of state actors and a minority with access to free energy and the bitcoin network is compromised and worthless as a censorship resistant payment system

2023-07-02 22:52:23

- reply

@npub1yck…ujmw if not in dollars, in any other fiat currency, that doesn't change anything. as to the other point, either a prohibitive share of hashing rate has been concentrated in the hands of the few actors who have no monetary prospects to worry about or they are a insignificant fraction - most miners do have to pay for cooling, warehousing, eletricty, hardware, initial outlay, etc

2023-07-02 22:46:50

- reply

@npub1yck…ujmw guess it'll hold forever then - even if they hold short term in hopes of cashing in an appreciation of bitcoin's price, miners have costs that are not paid in bitcoin, but in dollars

- reply

@npub1yck…ujmw 51% of the users or of the miners - because for the miners it just eventually will make economic sense - the overwhelming majority of their profits come from the coinbase reward and not transaction fees

the thing about cabron meaning "cuck", ehhhhhhhhh, it's kind of arcaic? you'd call them cornudo or the like, but, if i go out and call someone a cabrón it more comes across as "asshole"

#[0] #[1] there's a hard to maintain balance regarding what is worth relying on it for in my very very limited experience where if you tilt into trusting it too much it results in a net increase of the time and effort you're expending because now you have to untangle the previous bullshit it gave you and come up with a prompt that will not make it hallucinate libraries or methods (and then you get sunk cost fallacie'd) but where tilting back juuuust right will in fact manage to avoid you a lot of boring grunt work
what it's generally okay for:
- there's a stupid dumb trivial error in this code and you know it's something incredibly minor, but your eyes are really tired and unfocused because you've been at this for hours. it will catch that error. it will also give you extra suggestions you didn't ask for because it thinks too highly of itself, but, whatever, you can just alt tab and let it ramble after you see where you forgot to capitalise that variable
- you get a bizarre runtime error, googling it is giving you people not quiiiite dealing with the same problem you're having, or maybe it's a relatively obscure error for a relatively obscure program (when i was troubleshooting pleroma i couldn't find many hints anywhere); it's generally not bad at giving you a lead to pull on if the error text itself isn't particularly informative
- it's not bad at suggesting libraries to do things, at least in web stuff? i wanted to implement a drag and drop image area and it suggested me a perfectly good library. this is inherently devalued advice the more we get away from the 2021 cutoff point, but, hey. it'll also likely know why something's not working when something in the library fails without giving you any feedback (this is hedged usefulness: if the library has good documentation it's not really anything you couldn't have found out yourself, but, yknow, big if)
but as to writing actual code itself, like, anything that you haven't already done 90% of the work for? nnnnnnnnooooot really?
it's... theoretically doable? but the problem is that you have to rest on the assumption that the amount of time and effort you spend on getting better at prompting it is meaningfully lesser than the amount of time and effort you'll end up save from not writing and looking over stuff like usual - and there's a soft cap on how good results you can get that just, comes much sooner than you tend to think so
idk you could ask it to implement you a hybrid quick-insertion sort loop, that sort of little snippet of code thing, but if you're really that concerned about sort performance you're likely going to immediately get annoyed at it doing it not quite as efficiently as it could have
it can be useful, there's just such a narrow slice where it will pay off, and it's hard to consistently rest on that slice, even if you do manage to get there sometimes

#[0] NOTE TO PROSPECTIVE GROOMERS: there is the equivalent of a rabid guard dog with anger issues around this boy

2023-03-31 18:37:27

- reply

#[0] #[1] i'd also point out that like, yeah, there's an element of grooming here which is preying on vulnerable moments to inject considerations and refusing pushback on them - but it's missing another critical one, which is the building up of a long-term personal connection between groomer and groomee where a dependence grows and the victim comes to fear disappointing, angering, displeasing, or otherwise receiving rejection from the groomer, such that they are compelled to do as told or suggested
which is to say, if you want to call this grooming, it's rather bad grooming at that, and is more just, as well put by nettie, a "euphoric idiot" with probably a kink? might not even be trans lmao?

#[0] #[1] right, but now taxes are low and yet the price of living hasn't gotten any cheaper

#[0] #[1] sure, but what about what is created in order to fill that emptiness?
oftentimes it's ugly and disgusting. others, absolutely fascinating

#[0] #[1] well....... remove taxes and people generally have more spending power, yes, but in a skewed manner: if you flatly cut taxes, the people who have less money are also the most affected by the loss of whatever those taxes funded, and the extra money they keep now still has other expenses that are more critical to cover than childcare. the people with high incomes weren't in need of those tax cuts already
the idea of increasing spending instead of cutting taxes is that it levels the playing field, so to speak - of course, another option is to make that tax rate cut proportional... that might work just as well, yes

#[0] #[1] japan is an interesting case for me because the perennial problem they have with child rates (which most countries do really) is not due to some hikkikomori problem or race science or whatever opinion columnists have to say these days - it's that it's a neoliberal hellhole and people's economic rationale heavily disincentivises drowning yourself in the incredibly expense that having a child turns out to be
if governments want kids, the solution is dead easy, and it involves a *more* intervening government

#[0] #[1] is japan red-taped government policy wise? prefectures seem to pass incredibly action-heavy laws all the time (e.g, curfews for students or that one that passed a law limiting phone usage time)

#[0] right!
i tagged you because we have different views on how workable differences are between grousp right - i used to be in the camp of there being no such things as legitimately unworkable culture clashes, but let's assume there are, i still think they are minor cases
i do think you can have unassimilated groups within the same few spaces, it's just that the edges as to how they interact cannot be created by governement diktat or funding - and societies lack the inertia, patience (and have too much time and attention amplified by mass media) to let that negotation arise naturally, through contact: only the state can enforce that that time shall pass. it's kind of a gamble: "there will be few enough problems until a stable agreement has arisen such that we can survive in power the time it will take for that to happen"

i wonder how you feel about those programs all about "teaching" immigrants the "values" (that is, the perceived image of those values the receiver society has about them) of where they are accepted into
cause as a dirty commie and progressive and what have you, i think those programs miss the point not in that culture cannot be taught or adopted at the edges where two peoples meet - but in that they are missing the point that this process cannot be made artificial, that the structure of a classroom is antithetical to change and learning of a social kind

#[0] #[1] this is such a minor problem - if the compiler added type checks for you and gracefully escaped the function you'd have to hope the program doesn't also just stop there
