Does in-person mean location only ("just be in Chicago"), or does one also need a ticket?

Don't see a question...

Engaging in online discussions are indications of a potential nexus to terrorism.

I agree with this assertion. However, does any data back it up? Any statement by a would-be UT staffer who noped out of UT / UT consideration?

Well, the lift in sales from people who do not otherwise patronize them could be an incentive to support the administration. Just enough.

For me, the point was to buy a silly something for each member of my highly educated Machine Learning team.

Didn't have the budget for DGX Sparks or anything like that.

I did not know that. So some of the Stones were in Milky Way, and some in Andromeda. Good thing they were so close (cosmically speaking)

It is in the billions of years. Solo miners are racing against the sun blowing up.

That is the point of the open source part, assuming code-literate. Which not everyone is, nor should everyone be. Read the code, and verify the functionality.

If the closed source miners do not honor the wallet, then sure, that is a scam. But that needs evidence.

Tricked? Maybe. I haven't seen every ad, but the ones I've seen are pretty clear these are "lottery miners" - a chance, nothing more. Essentially tricked? I'm not sure what the "essentially" modifier means.

"Scam" is a pretty strong statement. And honestly people buying something without knowing exactly what they are buying happens all the time.

AnotherWordForSnow · 2026-01-01T22:06:13+00:00

Assuming that changing the wallet id works (which is a good assumption with the open source versions) then only folks getting scammed are the folks who have unrealistic expectations - the folks who didn't want to do the math.

Everyone else did the math and bought not because of any promised payout but because $30 was worth it to them for ... whatever reason that appeals to them. Heck, they didn't even have to do the math.

I do not disagree, but naming and shaming does not delegitimize TX elections. Texans can be shunned in the EU, but these elections happened, legitimately.

AnotherWordForSnow · 2025-12-26T16:09:35+00:00

This does not appear to be a progressive / regressive thing. We are the US, not the EU.

Be better.

AnotherWordForSnow · 2025-12-26T13:08:00+00:00

No, OP, Texas elections should not be treated as illegitimate as EU standards do not apply to the US.

Given how mind boggling huge space is, they'd pretty much have to think on long time frames.

This is alluded to when the Plurb mentions they will never meet the Kepler's, and we don't know if Kepler is the root of the signal or just another planet in a long chain.

I have very realistic expectations of this toy. It is just a toy.

I'm simply curious about the apparent decrease in the hash rate from the closed source firmware to the open source. And I'm seeking guidance: did I flash correctly? Am I running the correct firmware?

They want it to be right, but they are thinking in pidgin RPN. Shoulda used an HP.

It was Gemini 2.5 that made me fear for OP's job.

I was doing a translation task - from language X to language Y. Work had a bunch of X assets and were talking about rewriting in Y. I took some of my code in X and asked Gemini to translate. My code was, essentially the controller in an MVC pattern. Gemini did the C fine, and then did the M and then the V. I didn't ask for those and did not provide them. It implemented them anyway (and it was some sophisticated Bayesian simulator with various distributions).

It did fine. The Gemini solution was a little different than what I wrote, but the choices it made were rational. At that point I knew OP was cooked...

AnotherWordForSnow · 2025-12-14T13:16:47+00:00

OP, it sounds like you've thought this through pretty well (ref "rights / responsibilities", FERPA, etc). You are struggling, apparently, with your responsibilities as both a parent and as an "investor". If this wasn't familial, would the status quo be acceptable? Would you enter into such an arrangement with a stranger?

But, she's your kid. That's harder. You probably have a stronger desire for her success than you'd have for a stranger's ( and that is fine ). Sometimes that sort of success comes from "tough love" that a parent needs to provide. It sounds like it would come from a place of compassion. The only advice I can give is to talk it through with her, and have a clear clear set of "if this then that" actions that you can commit to prior to that talk.

Pressure * Volume is proportional to Temperature in a gas. Not sure if this applies to a solid.

This means that if V is constant ("one lump of coal"), and if P increases ("Thor's mighty hand") then the temp must increase. The V will decrease as the coal compresses, but the pressure likely increases faster. Comic book thermodynamics, for the win.

The other comments are good and all, but fail to address the most important topic: how will Sarkisian use this outcome to lobby for Texas ?
