Two of us showed up, we'll be hanging out in the back under the large square white tent if anyone else is looking
Maybe buying IPV4 addresses? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32416043 some discussion here.
Civilization has been trying to move to ipv6 for decades, but IPV4 is still widespread and commands a premium. With more internet growth this could blow up more.
Yeah, the version I liked was that someone else bribed a guard/guards into letting him kill himself but that's basically the same.
It's been hard keeping to it, but I do notice myself being more productive when I do. One thing that has stayed is not having an email tab always open. Hoping that over time I get better at following it strictly; it has such immediate positive effects that I'm not so worried I'll gradually forget and stop, like happened with other productivity attempts (e.g. making to-do lists.)
Consider the shortest algorithm that simulates the universe perfectly.
Meaningless, on my metaphysics. Definition is circular - in order to define fundamental you have to already assume that the universe can be simulated "perfectly", but to define a perfect simulation you'll need to rely on concepts like "fundamental", or "external reality".
Assuming that the way the universe looks changes continuously with these constants, it seems strange to insist that if the changes are so small you can't notice them they don't exist.
The assumption is meaningless. It seems strange to me to insist that something "exists", especially infinities, which are never observable. On our actual known physics we have strict limits on how much information can be contained in a finite amount of space, but even if we didn't know that you can't define these concepts in a noncircular manner.
On my metaphysics it's not coherent to talk about "fundamental" constants, for multiple reasons. Try tabooing that and ask about what, if anything, is actually meant.
If you can't measure any of these constants past a hundred significant digits, what does it mean to talk about the constant having any digits beyond that? And what does it mean for a constant to be fundamental?
I really liked this post. As a result of reading it, I'm trialling the following:
Every time I go on my computer or phone, I need to specifically have a plan for one specific thing I am going to do. This can be "check all notifications from X/Y/Z), or "write this one long email", or even, "15 minutes of unstructured time", but it should always be intentional. If I get the urge to do something else, I need to save it for a future session, which can be immediately afterwards.
Yes, but you said they're buying the no-coup shares, which subsidizes a coup. Article contradicts itself.
The theoretical maximum per flip is doubling your money (if you had a way to just bet on fair coin flips)
You shouldn't settle for 4%. You should be able to get to at least within 10% of optimal, certainly at low bet sizes.
Find an asset that is likely to either double or go to 0. For small amounts you can just pick sports games, learn which side will win then bet on kalshi or polymarket which won't ban for winning every time. Plenty of 50c priced assets. That gets you to 7 figure size
Then you go to option spreads that expire soon at the money, although if you need to source a new bet every two hours that can take 7 figures in liquidity it gets complicated quickly. Probably best to only use it for doubling money once a day, and use the other flips for more helpful research. Once a day you can do something like "if I buy a 0dte call spread on SPY around the current price, it will end up profitable" and sell the call spread if not, if you do a narrow spread then it almost always ends up outside the bounds. You can roughly double 5 times a week this way, which should be enough for anyone.
