I share your “rare grip” precisely and also adopted it to alleviate pinky pain. To add another anecdote to the pile I also prefer UI elements at the top although a toggle in settings or at least a configuration file would be best. I don’t understand my own preferences on this issue though because the arguments for the bottom position are completely convincing to me. (Thumb is closer, top of screen is better used for displaying messages, etc)

Thanks for posting this. As someone who was almost religiously excited about GPT3 then progressively more annoyed that I could never get access to the point of giving up this is wonderful news. Your blog post is an invaluable starting point. Seriously thanks

Just point them at a multipool and you can set it up to auto-switch to whatever "shitcoin" is currently most profitable and auto convert everything to BTC (or your output coin of choice). As someone who lived through the original GPU->FPGA->ASIC arms race it's surprising to me but you can make decent amounts of BTC with just a high end CPU let alone GPU rigs or old sha256 ASICs.

Wow thanks for the tip on "Blood-Evil" been a fan for decades and it never occurred to me. Also was really into Gescom back in the day so maybe people who like hiding data in recordings have good taste.

Well said. Reading Banks was the first time as an adult that I had hope for the future. The resulting exhilaration literally kept me up for a couple days. Later the same year he passed and it brought home to me the gratitude I have to him for expanding my conception of what a good future (in the context of humans and super-intelligence co-existing) could be.

Was skeptical about a Slate article but they pretty much nailed it.

Dumb question: How does this differ from setting the view in the file selector to thumbnails?

Serious question: Are you asserting that imagining women naked is wrong in the general case?

Your argument doesn’t follow. How would being a software developer be the worst job because they “automate their own work away” when in fact they’d have a job until they automated
everyone’s
work away? It’s likely a given developer would reach retirement before that happens. Meanwhile tons of other people are out of a job.

Wow Nadella just passed Ballmer as my least favorite Microsoft CEO. Who could possibly endorse this idea in good faith? It sounds like something you’d use to keep 10-13 year olds accountable for schoolwork not something fitting for adults in a dynamic working environment.

This is an excellent question that I’ve never seen addressed. Replying just to call attention to it in the hopes that someone knowledgeable HN’ers can answer. It seems like cloud would quickly become a commodity but I have no special insight.
