What is BTC inflation? How much BTC was printed by government in recent years? And of course - how much it grew in value?
In other words:
* deflationary nature
* independence of any government
* speculation
Governments will keep printing money. Stock market is only good in US (check Japan and China). Bitcoin is good alternative investment in places where options primarily limited to property.
You can equally ask what was inflation of natural gold and diamonds. It was zero since there is fixed amount of gold and diamonds on the planet. Same with bitcoin.
>But even that's a poor comparison as most people trade forex to DO stuff with the other currency.
No, most of this volume (>99%) is institutional speculation. If people actually do something with this money you would see payments of over 9T a day, which is not happening.
Especially true now with Claude generating decent terraform code. I was shocked how good it is at knowing AWS gotchas. It also debug connectivity issues almost automagically. While I hate how it writes code I love how it writes terraform.
AI is surprising good at boilerplate IaC stuff. It’s a great argument for configuration as code, or really just being able to represent things in plain text formats
You designed a new beautiful car - a cube 3 m by 3 because, why not? Very modern, has plenty of space. You can even install solar panels at the top to charge its batteries.
Now tell me, without differential equations:
* how it deforms at impact?
* how much more or less air resistance it has and how it depends on speed?
* how quickly solar panels can charge the battery given that charging speed is non-linear?
So you’ll end up building countless prototypes and crash them, run at different speeds and charge with different panels and battery types. 100 years later you find out that its shape is just not good.
In the meantime solving few simple differential equations and optimization problems would tell you the same.
Or something very close to programming. How do you add two empirically measured probability distributions describing how two teams perform?
Isn’t the problem comes down to proxy not rejecting a request with two Content-Length headers? If proxy and upstream parse HTTP correctly they would either won’t touch data past the Content-Length or they would never see two HTTP requests even if content is chunked and contain bytes similar to a HTTP request.
In Smalltalk there is no if statement, but there is ifTrue and ifFalse methods in a Boolean variable. This is one example how to create custom control flow with non-local returns and blocks. Ruby follows suite.
Plus that 5% left out is a one in twenty chance that some business critical service may fail when least convenient.
And when it does, the person that vibed it into existence will only have ChatGPT to fall back to, having no personal or organizational experience to rely on.
But they have a 95% chance of getting it right, if they don't panic too much.
No, EV are too heavy. On an actual track they loose to lighter ICE cars since they corner better. Plus for a prolonged race EV might run out of battery.
