Bitcoin fans say it solves 'the' trust issue.

If you do something on the block chain with your Bitcoins it's save.

Just that the only thing it does is making sure you can send or retrieve a Bitcoin securely but that you need other security mechanism to make sure the trade is protected gets ignored.

Like every trade involving something outside the chain is still not save.

Buying Bitcoin, selling Bitcoin, trading a Bitcoin for a service.

I do a zfs snapshot and than do a sync.

I never delete those snapshots because the big items like images don't change.

That's probably the most ridiculous answer there is.

1. The chance that something like Bitcoin is a logical virus and being though of is.not that far fetched. All of it's tec was already here.

2. Just because people believe in Bitcoin and don't understand it doesn't make it fair.

3. People like to think about it because he is still the inventor even if his invention is responsible for a tremendous amount of CO2 and he should be very rich which makes this 'mystery' interesting

And as said in a thread yesterday: Bitcoin doesn't even solve the trust issue.

What exactly did you build?

PCI dss conform cc handling?

What about liability in case of fraud?

The real nft is on the right ledger and can be resold or if it has something attached to it, it can be redeemed.

That definitely let me reconsider retrying nix as my package manager on macos :-(

Sry but if someone in 2024 still thinks web3 is an answer...

And it doesn't even solve the trust problem for anything off chain.

And even if it would than the question of which chain is the right one comes up.

Did you know there are fake nfts and you hardly can see which ones are real?

You literally need an initial trust anchor like a project website with https to learn about it. What a wonderful irony.

Wikipedia has all primary sources at the bottom linked.

You don't need to trust wikipedia. You should trust the sources linked.

Wikipedia is basically a group collaboration on fact aggregation.

Why should you believe a random blog or a blog from an oil company more than a open collaborative group project which works transparent (site history+talk feature)?

You shouldn't.

Tectonic plates.

Not sure why I wrote platonic

More rain for Germany too but more in shorter periods of time which makes it dangerous and more water runs of without filling ground water

I argue that compression and not memorization is key to emerging behavior.

And the fact that llms learn languages and can switch quite well in-between (even if you just replace single words) is proof of learning meta/high level abstractions.

I sometimes write a German word or describe something when I don't have it on the tip of my tongue

Someone in tech debated me on the term fossil fuel.

He said that oil is renewable because the platonic plates make oil and not some million old waiting based chemical process.

When people ignore everything and also ignore logic (why do oil wells disappear after getting the oil out) it really doesn't matter were they read it

That's just not true.

Read the Wikipedia article about climate change and not some random climate change denier sources.

FYI: the German discrimination was/is so strong that you will lose your driver license when they catch you with weed nearly independent of the amount and location (Saturday park big city)/no car in sight

No.

It sometimes slightly mitigates it but never fixed it.

Only thing which was life-changing: Ritalin.

Best advice besides that: whenever I have a meeting outside of work I create diligently a calendar event with notifications for -1 day and -1h and write down / estimate the time for travel.

Needs to be fixed by microcode, BIOS update or recall from Intel and partners

I'm using it happily in all projects I'm involved but I'm not writing code often.

It helps tremendously.

Also when you look what Google is doing internally: gpt might not be perfect right now, but I would try to keep up with testing/using it regularly enough to not loose sight.
