I doubt domain logic would ever be in 2NF. My domain logic certainly doesn’t have pivot tables of IDs for join lookup

Sort of, but the downside of waterfall was you build the wrong thing and waste a shitload of time rewriting it.

When rewriting the entire codebase is very quick and cheap, why bother iterating on small components?

I buy the argument 'we should prepare for Q-Day as crypto agility is hard', but the newest paper doesn’t change the timeline meaningfully.

Given TFA accepts that error correction is the bottleneck for progress, and the gap between any and lots of error correction is small, and we presently have close to 0 error correction then nothing has practically changed with reduced qubit requirements.

Of course, it’s totally fine to have and announce a change of view on the topic, though I don’t see how the Google paper materially requires it.

I disagree and you could reduce basically anything to this: 'there can‘t be any interesting discussion about React. Every conversation boils down to which framework you use or how you manage state or whether you use typescript or javascript‘

10mins is a lifetime in capital and crypto markets - I find it hard to believe that trading 10mins after the Terraform Labs swap hit the chain constitutes insider trading.

The claim of artificial price inflation with Jump sounds more questionable but TFA doesn’t seem to put it front and centre

I‘ve been a happy user of https://helium.computer for a few months now after a previous Mozilla faux-pas. So far I don’t miss Firefox in the slightest

Thanks for this.

I find having a name to certain phenomena makes them easier to understand and apply in the wild, and will definitely think ‘barker’ in the future haha

Verifiable quantum randomness sounds interesting - https://drand.love is another verifiable randomness beacon, though using more traditional cryptography

Not quite vim bindings, but lichess supports typing pgn for moves (at least for blindfold)

I’m not suggesting LLMs are infallible, but boy you’re overselling the accuracy of literature

When it takes multiple lifetimes to read the Terms of Service for everything a normal person uses to get through daily life, it’s not a case of willingness

>When you point out that, for example, health insurance profits are low single digit percentage of overall healthcare costs

Do you have any source for this?

I’m assuming (because HN) that you had the USA in mind, and it doesn’t pass the sniff test for me given that US insurance fees are more than single digit percentages higher than other high quality care countries with privatised healthcare systems
