  Democracy might be the problem. You could put a threshold to vote in place, something to test that you know all the views from all the parties and the relevant topics. It’s a slippery slope though, because once you enable restrictions on voting, it’s hard to disable it again. If you accidentally get a Trump in power, he might just as easily restrict voting back to cis, white males only.

  This guy’s articles are always so long. Too optimistic and too pessimistic are both bad. You should be realistic. AI is great, but it is just a tool. A socially and ethically loaded tool.

  Just because it has “BIC” written on it, does not make it a BIC pencil.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is dns a good application for the blockchain?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  No it isn’t, because the way DNS work.

  • you ask your dns server if it knows the adres for some website.
  • if it doesn’t it’ll ask another node
  • if it does, it will tell you.

  So a dns server either knows the webadresses it serves, or it knows which way to point you for more info. This is a leveled arrangement, so there are some high level dns servers that basically divide the whole Internet in sections (11, if I members correctly). And they all have layers of subsidiaries, like a tree structure. The leaves of this tree know a few specific addresses, or else they send you up the tree and the node might send you down again, to a different leave.

  If you would do this on block chain, you wouldn’t need the intermediate nodes anymore, but the leaves would contain all the information themselves. The leaves, in this case, would probably be a file on your computer and would basically contain the entire Internet. Anyways, the big problem with this isn’t size, but the linking. Blockchain only knows which nodes came before your node, not which nodes came after. Even if you did implement it like that, you’d have a massive list of nodes. Imagine you have an old ip address and you want to lookup a brand new website. You could possibly be sent through millions of nodes before you find what you’re looking for. The tree structure dns has now, cuts that down to maybe a dozen nodes, depending on what you’re looking for. You can actually how many nodes with traceroute, or online om dnschecker.org/online-traceroute

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good to exercise at home instead of gym?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  After corona I bought a threatmill for pennies. It was nice building up some stamina without anyone seeing me break my back over a half kilometer. At some point I was doing 3km fairly comfortably and than my threatmill broke. By this point I had enough confidence to go to the gym. Now I’m doing 6km twice a week.

  Training at home was the best thing for me to start a routine.

  Not trying to blame anyone or “omg millenials”, but it’s an actual issue. It’s not just the “fear of phone calls”, but it’s a deeper rooted change in the way we communicate and how it’s becoming less personal and organic. psychology-spot.com/silent-generation-characteris…
