I feel like part of this post is a bit of hypocrisy.
> This is why reading actual books in full might now be more valuable than it ever has been: Only if you’ve seen every word will you discover insights and links an AI would never include in its average-driven summary.
Is summarizing by a human much different? Let's check if the author has a consistent stance on reading every word.

Let me tell you an old Jewish anecdote from Odesa (Ukrainian city with a significant Jewish population; russians hit a residential building there using a missile strike today, a few people died, 1 kid among them).
- Moisha, what’s the price of this meat?
- Abraham, it is 300 UAH/kilogram.
- But your neighbor is selling at 200 UAH/kg. Why yours is so expensive?
- Why don’t you buy there then?
- He doesn’t have it anymore.
- Well, when I don’t have meat, I sell it at 100 UAH/kg.
So, the price can be any when you don’t have a free market. In USSR, the official exchange rate was 0,7 rouble per dollar. Black market was 2-3 (might differ, depending on the year, of course).
Recently I have seen photo with X-rates in moscow:
USD buying at 70, selling at 300
EUR buying at 80, selling at 100
Looks silly, right? Everyone knows EUR costs more than USD. The reason is the same as in the anecdote above.
It was a disinformation campaign about hypersonic missiles.
Sorry, can you please explain (or give some link) how it is related to blockchain?

In general, I was under the impression that IoT devices are underpowered for such usage.

TIL there are 38K funds. That's 10-30 times more than I expected.
So, one of the conclusions should be “don’t buy used M1 Mac”.
Do I understand this correctly?
"Arch users are vegans of the Linux world" - excellent comparison :)
"Orcs" isn't very popular, but "Mordor" is one of the most popular synonymous for russian state here in Ukraine as well.
Thanks! Blue kittens (#139 in your Dropbox) is the best wallpaper I ever had :)
I haven’t passed the captcha and got “access denied” forever.
Cloudflare protects you from visitors ;)
Is “command line” a proper word for this? Terminal - OK, but that’s not CLI.
I recall those lessons for script-kiddies “Crack [software name here] with SoftICE” in early 2000s.
Sorry, what is 5.9? You meant PHP 5.6?
But I've heard the same points like 5 years ago. What had changed on a big scale?
of course - 2nd for SS-18 targeting U.S. :)
