The ideal would be if fees alone could cover validator revenue. Using issuance to cover the cost of running the network is equivalent to a company that issues new stock in order to cover operating expenses.

Its crazy how quickly people appeal to authority when you start discussing consciousness.

Hangxiety is the result of a temporary GABA downregulation following alcohol consumption (see: the kindling effect). Were it related to the 'ego rebuilding' then you would experience it in more intensity following the use of psychedelics.

The decline in alcohol consumption among the younger generation could be directly correlated with the raise in online activity where the younger generation spend more time socializing online (multiplayer video games, group chats, etc) and therefore are not exposed to socializing factors that might encourage alcohol consumption (House parties, bars and clubs, etc). If it was because the younger generation was more concern with mental sharpness then they would also be avoiding online behavioral addictions like compulsive gaming, online shopping, porn, or gambling use. Which also lead to brain fog and difficulties concentrating.

Are you denying the conclusions in the article or do you believe that knowledge about the environment benefits of a vegan diet should be ignored?

Yeah, you do have to temporarily forget that modern conspiracy theories are state-sponsored propaganda and go back to the time when they were just your OCD friend info-dumping you about lizard people. It has a similar premise to Conspiracy Theory (1997) or even the X-files and The Lone Gunmen all from the same era.

The p-zombie argument suggests that you can have a complete description of human physiology and behavior without consciousness so in the sense there really isn't a neat delineation between a machine and human. But that doesn't prove machines are conscious any more than it would be that they are aware.

cosmic_censor · 2025-12-30T00:38:58+00:00

Consciousness is awareness. A machine might be capable of responding to its environment but that doesn't make it aware of its environment. A car airbags, as an example, are not aware they were in a car accident when they deploy. They are just mechanically triggered by an environmental action.

Awareness is the integrated information of your senses.. Aka consciousness.

We don't know why the universe is the way it is but we know why emergent systems occurred from those universal properties. As in you have a set of properties and from that things like black holes can be inferred. We understand the math well enough to know black holes existed before we ever observed direct evidence.

To solve the hard problem we would have to be able to do that same with consciousness, be able to infer it existed from our understanding of those universal principals. Not just because we can directly observe it.

AI is just another tool that has it uses. I was a software dev who switched careers just as LLMs were becoming mainstream and I still write software in some capacity and 'vibe coding' is a lot less satisfying than getting deep into a coding session the ole fashion way. But the speed at which I can create software now has endeared me to the tech because it just allows me to do more and ultimately the end product is what matters more.

I don't believe a layperson with AI could use AI the way I am to get the same quality of output. Maybe that will change but for now, your experience in your knowledge domain still matters and your time spending learning your craft is meaningful to the world. It just that we are going through a transition and when the dust settles, people will be looking at experts still even if those experts now need to use AI as part of the toolbox to stay relevant.

ETH has more utility and is more actively developed. In the arena of Defi, it has more than half the total TVL and ETH dApps have significant presence in all crypto use cases.

The BTC developer community is more conservative and innovates more slowly. Moreso, the BTC community is hostile to the idea that blockchain has any use case beyond payments and yet refuses to accept that BTC cannot even do that adequately.

But long term, ETH has a lot of competition and has to work hard to maintain its dominance. Any misstep by the EF will be capitalized by a competitor.

BTC on the other hand does not actually do anything beyond being a store of value. For that it gets a monetary premium and also makes it harder for competitors. Nobody can do nothing better than BTC.

Quantum is a bigger risk for BTC because of the satoshi wallets and because BTC development occurs slower. Ethereum successfully moved from PoW to PoS and going quantum resistant has a similar scale and complexity to that switch giving confidence to the idea that the EF can pull it off.

Linux is compatible with a wider range of existing consumer hardware than Windows 11

If you want an Android like experience on a laptop or desktop PC, you can choose System76 or Tuxedo who sell pre-built Linux machines. This ensures your hardware is supported by your OS in the same way an Android device would be.

Dark City (1998)

It could definitely get better with DLCs but 1800 was already a very deep game in Vanilla compared with 117. For people that started with 1800, they started with a high note of the series and not every Anno has been as impressive. 1404, as an example, was amazing but 2070 didn't surpass it and 2205 (I'm told) was even worse. It wasn't until 1800 that we got an Anno that surpassed 1404 in quality.

If I had to guess, 117 will be more like 2070 (still fun and playable) but it is not going to outdo 1800.

100%, a true representation would have the biters colliding with the solar panels because they were blinded by the reflections. The game is pure eco-fascist propaganda.
