No new money was generated, but new utility was generated.

Before cryptocurrency, there was no decentralized way to transfer value on the internet.

I assume he is referring to the uptick in stablecoin adoption. USD Stable coins are US dollar-backed cryptocurrency tokens that are intended to always hold a value of $1 USD.

Stablecoins are not backed by a central bank. Instead their source of value comes from a private company that holds actual US dollars or USD-equivalent reserves (like treasury bills, etc).

This is also my experience 80% of the time.

Now that I am used to this, the other 20% feels like a lot more work than it used to. Is it more work? No. But my expectations have changed.

Altitude is the third dimension, but I presume you knew that.

"Geography is three dimensional" doesn't correctly communicate the time dimension.

"Developers talk not just about how the AI output is often flawed, but that using AI to get the job done is often a more time consuming, harder, and more frustrating experience because they have to go through the output and fix its mistakes."

This has not been my experience. Sure it feels like more work to fix the AI code problems sometimes - it is a different skillset than writing code from scratch. But the speed that I can deliver software has significantly increased by using coding agents.

Has anyone found the answer to this yet?

A "few seconds" to pay in bitcoin? So the captain is supposed to be watching for a response via email with his finger hovering over the pay button? Is the recipient address static? Surely they would use unique payment addresses if they have any hope of obfuscating payments.

This all sounds more like a TV show script than an actual thought-out plan to me.

I use YNAB. I thought about building my own now that AI coding make this feasible. But the moat that I can't cross is the integration with my bank accounts. Plaid and the like are too expensive and don't cater to one-off users like me.

Has anyone been able to find a personal financial data provider that has a reasonable price?

I think the OP is differentiating between direct human-to-human communication and building software.

While I applaud this effort for flagging AI slop generators, I would caution users to not always ignore your "foes".

Reading opposing viewpoints is so important and is becoming a lost art in our society. I encourage you to understand and empathize with people you don't agree with. It will help all of us in the long run.

The second half of that argument was not in this article. The author was just relating his experience.

For what it is worth, I have also gone from a "this looks interesting" to "this is a regular part of my daily workflow" in the same 6 month time period.

AWS Amplify was supposed to solve this. It is built on the AWS CDK. But I found it too clunky and slow and gave up on it.

These days I use SST (https://sst.dev) which is built on top of Pulumi. I find this to be a manageable infrastructure-as-code solution for AWS deployments.

Sybil attacks are very difficult to mitigate while maintaining privacy and decentralization. I see a nod to anti-gaming in this proposal, but it does fully address this.

Why did you choose Bitcoin for this? Other blockchains can have significantly lower fees and allow the distribution of application-specific reward or governance tokens.

An important feature of (some) crypto stablecoins is that they function like cash.

Cash is fungible. And cash in my wallet is not subject to being frozen like a bank account.

One can argue the merits of a digital cash for society. But a crypto-based digital cash is fundamentally different from a digital bank-based payment system.

The title implies that the data was manipulated. What happened was column headers were renamed without an official entry in the changelog.

Most of these changes were the column heading “Gender” renamed to “Sex.”

This is an interesting example of an AI system effecting a change in the physical world.

Some people express concerns about AGI creating swarms of robots to conquer the earth and make humans do its bidding. I think market forces are a much more straightforward tool that AI systems will use to shape the world.

Cryptocurrency transfers are irreversible, publicly verifiable and pseudonymous. For a privacy focused application, these attributes make crypto a better choice than USD and the traditional banking system.

According to this post, Remix v3 aims to not build on top of React:

> We're simply struggling to build something that feels like React did when we first found it.

> That's why Remix is moving on from React

> Remix v3 is a completely new thing. It's our fresh take on simplified web development with its own rendering abstraction in place of React.

> Inspired by all the great tech before it (LAMP, Rails, Sinatra, Express, React, and more), we want to build the absolute best thing we know how to build with today's capable web platform.

The technical term is "monetary premium".

Gold has a utility (or industrial) value. But that value is significantly lower than the actual price. The rest of the price of gold is monetary premium.

I say Bitcoin's large network, censorship resistance and worldwide adoption give it some base utility value. The rest is monetary premium.

I do agree with your sentiment. Stablecoins (UDSC, etc) are predictable and are much better suited for actual spending.

Is a public post from a cybercrime ring credible evidence?

I get that the potential connection may warrant more investigation. But I don't see any real evidence of anything in this article other than they were a customer of DiamondCDN for an unknown amount of time.

Links from non-paid users will get an interstitial.

I found https://sst.dev/ to be a developer friendly experience. It is built on top of Pulumi.

I just pay the AWS costs under my own account and nothing else.

For anyone here struggling with AWS Amplify or AWS CDK - I recently discovered https://sst.dev/ for serverless deployment.

It doesn't solve all problems (tt isn't a CRUD framework) - but it does make the developer experience much better as compared to Amplify.

Does it really work like this? Can you marry someone in December and get all of the tax benefits, and then divorce the next year?

As a layoff strategy, I would expect it to be counterproductive. The people most likely to quit skew toward high-performing individuals who feel confident in their ability to get a remote job elsewhere. And vice versa.

From the article:

Is it possible that the 8 TB is just the extracted text?

This is a local flaw that requires malicious software running on the users's machine. The malware can read the unlock key by pretending to be a web browser extension.

This is a reminder that no security is 100% and that it is an endless battle...

How about evolving CloudFormation and CDK instead of trashing it and starting over.

The CF web interface does not do a great job of showing the hierarchy and relationships between resources.

And working around circular dependency issues in CDK can be a real time sink.
