What is the difference between a crypto wallet and a passkey?

Is it just that a passkey has less functionality (and therfore better usability)?

This doesn’t seem an economically positive decision. I think Nintendo are actually trying to save face here.

Yes. I’d also add that current copyright laws are archaic and counterproductive when combined with modern technology.

Creators need protection, but only for 15 years. Not death + 70 years.

During covid daily carbon dioxide emissions decreased by an average of 8.6%

If a bunch of people photographed that same incident from different angles, clearly it’s real.

I don’t think you can assume this anymore.

Actually I think we are mostly agreeing.

The difference is that you think that the technology will quickly be made cheap and portable enough for mass consumption and I think it will remain, for quite some time, niche and expensive, like high end, precision industrial equipment.

You should get that fixed.

Why are you isolating a single algorithm?

To show that quantum computing only helps with very specific parts of very specific algorithms.

A QC is not a CPU, it’s not a GPU, it’s closer to a superpowered FPU.

If they would offer speed benefits, then why wouldn’t you want to have the chip that offers the speed benefits in your phone?

if somehow consumers could have access to technology in their phone that would offer performance benefits to their software that they wouldn’t want it.

Because the same functionality would be available as a cloud service (like AI now). This reduces costs and the need to carry liquid nitrogen around.

The issue is not that quantum computers could not offer performance benefits in theory.

It is this. QC only enhances some very specific tasks.

It is the same with GPUs. A GPU can only speed up certain problems. You have libraries that only call the GPU when it is needed for certain calculations.

Yes, exactly my point. QC is a less flexible GPU.

I don’t see why consumers wouldn’t want it.

Because they would need to use the specific quantum enhanced algorithms frequently enough to pay to have local, always on access.

They will likely remain something largely used by businesses but in my view it will be mostly because of practical concerns. The benefits of them won’t outweigh the cost anytime soon.

Agree. Unless some magic tech, like room temperature superconductors, turns up there will only be quantum as a service supplied for some very specific business needs.

Strong, post quantum encryption doesn’t require quantum computers. It uses different mathematical objects (e.g. matrices)

literally for speeding up linear algebra

For a sparse matrix where you don’t need the values of the solution vector.

I.e. a very specific use case.

Quantum computers will be called from libraries that apply very specific subroutines for very specific problems.

Consumers may occasionally call a quantum subroutine in a cloud environment. I very much doubt we will have a quantum chip in our phone.

Amazing computational speedups if you regularly use any of these incredibly specific algorithms. Otherwise useless.

Quantum as a service may exist as a business.

I want to be more creative with SD. Do you have any recommendations similar to https://github.com/intel/openvino-ai-plugins-gimp

it has to be so newly creative as to be a different work, even though the original may still be recognizable

Your definition implies Andy Warhol wasn’t creative.

You are missing economies of scale. In most industries these create a significant barrier to entry. The patent may expire but the equipment is still expensive.

Remember when good ads used to be unobtrusive? Return to that.

What is stopping an uber competitor?

Servers, electricity, bandwidth, blackjack and hookers.

Is that institution on a Spanish island?

Does Netflix? Or do they pay production companies for content?

No. I want to give small creators a tool to stop their work being stolen in the short term.

But I also want to force copyright monopolists to pay ever increasing tax on the property they hold that should really be in the public domain.

My proposal also means orphan works no longer exist.

Ok, let’s say the copyright retention fee is only paid when it’s above 1k, I.e. after 10 years.

To retain copyright:-

$2^n for year n

$1 for year 1

$2 for year 2

$4 for year 3

$1k for year 10

$32k for year 15

$1m for year 20

$1bn for year 30

How about an exponentially increasing fee to retain copyright?

Yeah. I can see in your case a stand up could be replaced with a status update message.

I think you are missing the part where you help others with their blockers.

In what year do you estimating AI will have 90% accuracy?

Egg white is pretty good, non toxic, non flammable glue.

Notepad

Honestly, everything you have said is dishonest and/or disingenuous.

Nope. Dishonest would be failing to recognise the legacy auto industry’s failure to invest sufficiently in EVs and related infrastructure. A disingenuous person would try to argue purely with xenophobia.

The idea that the price of the vehicle is going to be reduced by 90% as a result of subsidies and innovation is both stupid and dishonest.

Isn’t that exactly what you are claiming the Chinese are doing?

You should also look up the definition of authoritarian.

You should take a good look at American justice and law enforcement.

You’re saying “they”, but it’s you.

If you respond then I’m not talking to myself.

Never addressed at all, you pivoted to the oil industry.

Directly answering a question is not pivoting. You asked if I knew about producing below cost. Yes, there are lots of examples of subsidies in the oil industry.

You didn’t address the subsidies from China or the unfair trade practices.

I did. Twice.

America will not subsidize to that level

Course it could. Have you seen the defense budget? Take some of that.

no amount of innovation is going to combat subsidization. Are you seriously arguing that “investment to lower cost” will reduce the cost by 85-90%?

I said the solution was subsidies and innovation.

I don’t think that collecting anonymized usage data,

Are you certain it is anonymous?

is the same as unlimited spying going back to an authoritarian government.

America is already an authoritarian government. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2017/03/08/what-we-know-about-car-hacking-the-cia-and-those-wikileaks-claims/

You’re literally just talking to yourself,

They responded

ignoring any mention of selling below cost, which is the biggest issue,

Adressed twice.

• Suggesting subsidies should be given to American EV manufacturers

• Investing to lower costs.

with spyware being a close 2nd.

You think US products won’t have spyware?

until the American automakers go bankrupt, as you said, then the Chinese automakers increase prices 10x.

Americans can also buy EVs from countries other than China. America can also subsidise internal EV production.

My point is that we shouldn’t give a fuck about petrol loving manufacturers.

What a valuable lesson.

Respond to user demand and environmental pressure.

Don’t arrogantly assume your polluting product will remain market leader.

Don’t build ever bigger vehicles just to avoid particular regulations.

Do you even understand what below cost means?

Yes. Would you like some oil industry case studies?

No amount of modernization will counteract it.

Have you heard of R&D investment, continual process improvement and economies of scale?

Americans get cheaper EVs and the legacy auto industry gets taught a valuable lesson as companies who refused to modernize go bankrupt.

I think there may be a market for an LMM that is executed locally and privately incorporates personal data.

Only the first item is related to business, and even that implies repeated failure.

Xitter

('X" is pronounced “Sh”)

It only plagiarises you if you write something similar to lots of other people.

Write something original and, even if it is in their training dataset, LLMs are highly unlikely to reproduce it.
