Great joke. Truly a free and untraceable currency the plebs are profiting off right now. I am mining some too! I just cashed out my 50 dollars profit and bought myself a meal at my local trader Joe's, next time when I'm there, I will probably pay with chainlink though.

.. most of the coins are held in giant blocs by unknowns, and the price is largely driven by a couple of funds issuing tokenized dollars?

The proportion if wealth consolidation that bitcoin poses if it can consume fiat currencies makes all other coercive powers in history look like they weren't even trying.

If.

BTC itself can't do that: the transaction rate would be borderline even just for a low-ball estimate of all the once-a-month payments happening in just the city of Berlin.

The various proposals for layer-2 stuff makes it look like a bunch of banks using a funky currency without any of the controls that exist because weird currencies are bad for business, but AFAICT because of that, the BTC part itself works like interbank balancing transactions, and the BTC transaction rate isn't sufficient to cover once-a-day interbank balancing transactions.

where is the non-paywall link?

Looks like there isn't one, so we need to bury the submission. If anyone knows of a way to read the article without a subscription, please reply here or email us at [email protected] and we'll restore it.

Anybody else find this creepy?

Just don't give them six wheels! Hexapodia is the key insight!

As someone who's been using OpenAI's ChatGPT every day for work, I tested Perplexity's free Deep Research feature today and I was blown away by how good it is. It's unlike anything I've seen over at OpenAI and have tested all of their models. I have canceled my OpenAI monthly subscription.

What did you ask it that blew you away?

Every time I see a comment about someone getting excited about some new AI thing, I want to go try and see for myself, but I can't think of a real world use case that is the right level of difficulty that would impress me.

I asked it to expand an article with further information about the topic, and it searched online and that’s what it did.

I wonder how this relates to the "mystical realm" - the yogic concept that a certain "life-force" (prana / chi) exists that coordinates, at a higher level, the behavior of cells.

It seems you are taking the notion of "the cell not being a machine" a little too far. Molecular biology has not shown the need for the hypothesis of a "higher level life-force" to explain what is going on inside a cell.

"Covid cases are rising again. In the UK, they have broken through the 200,000 infections-a-day threshold for the first time since April. " -> where are they getting this data? All data online is showing about 18K cases per day.

How do you use it? Does it work with Oculus?
