Isn't the point that these agents were supposed to be sandboxed. It makes no sense to give them an official channel

or maybe 5.1 was an older checkpoint and has more quantization

What is this?

I don't fancy logging into some random website without knowing what it does first.

Hmmm I tried using Arc and I just don't like it. The sidebar feels really cluttered and unnatural. I like having the full width of my screen.

I feel like Arc gives me OCD about organising my spaces and folders etc. I'm happier to just close chrome when I get to like 15 tabs and start again.

Having a VGA port is such a waste of space

What does interrupting Windows mean? Like keeping windows running while you install Linux?

I became disabled after a music festival last year. The music was too loud and something broke in my ear.

Now every sound hurts me, my voice is far too painful, going for a walk outside is too painful. Basically I can't do anything but sit in a silent room and browse the internet.

Pain hyperacusis sucks. I wish I'd been more careful with my hearing.

Please stop, bitcoin is a waste of electricity, it has no economic value. Its cancerous. Just make hydrogen or some other storable material.

The bots are in production and live.

The warehouse still needs lots of staff but less than a supermarket

Or they want their citizens to avoid investing in a ponzi scheme which steals their hard earned cash?

> The question should be, does Bitcoin help the real world economy?

That's a fine question too and I would argue that it doesn't help the real world economy. It just consumes energy for 0 utility except to facilitate ponzi schemes and money laundering

I believe Taleb's timeline is not as long term as the heat death of the universe or end of civilisation.

He's saying that a rational market should value bitcoin at 0 because it has 0 utility. If I buy shares in Walmart I receive a dividend, if I buy shares in Amazon I know they will do share buy backs with their profits and hence increase the value of my investment.

Bitcoin has zero value or utility for me, unless I can sell it to someone else before it eventually goes to 0.

There's a difference between value today and expected value in the future. A loaf of bread has value today but I wouldn't stockpile fresh bread because I know it quickly loses value

Taleb has a paper arguing Bitcoins expected long term value is infact 0: https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.14204
