I had a coworker who grew up in north china (jilin), he said during elementary school (late 90s) he had class field trips to north Korea -- the trips made him to appreciate home a lot. I think he mentioned there was no running water/sewage or something.
He described how moving to the US made him realize how far underdeveloped China was (especially his region), which was wild for him because he thought he was comparably well-off

This shit is hilarious, Taiwan regulators posts guidelines for platforms that handles virtual assets (VASP) -- for the sake of giving shitcoins a playground.
By their definition in section 3, these guidelines declares Bitcoin as not a virtual asset and none of the platforms should be able to list it.
I really can't tell if they're being genius (making a clear distinction between Bitcoin and everything else) or clowns (thinks Bitcoin fall into these guidelines)

generally most nostr clients generate custom URIs that start with "lightning:" when discovering things like invoices or LNURLs to communicate with other apps. I was under the impression that Alby responds to lightning: URIs so clicking on links should open the extension already.
If the client you are using doesn't generate lightning: URIs then copy-pasting invoices is probably the way out (this was the norm before 11/22). generally when protocols used in links can't be handled by the browser it gets passed to the OS to find an application to handle the link. A way you can do this is create a entry for xdg-open to respond to lightning: URIs and set whatever command needed to execute.

Agreed, that part is great 👍 unfortunately outside of nostr clients, putting friendly chatter and hilarious memes on your feed isn't really up to you.
For example, on all platforms there's an algorithm that keeps track how quickly you swipe away/leave posts as a means to gauge where your interest lies. It then searches up a set of ads that matches up with whatever it finds engaging to you, then gets all the advertisers to bid for your attention. Whoever pays top dollar or who has the largest contract behind the scenes gets to be the next post on your feed.
Happens all in a blink of an eye, and keeps on repeating. The user-curated feed is an illusion. I used to think this stuff was cool, it really isn't -- I was in programmatic digital advertising until 2018. Towards the end of my career, the industry shifted towards taking design cues from the gaming/gambling industry, AdBlock has little to no impact; all it takes is to add some annoyances to get less savy users to turn it off.
Stick to nostr, it's all slot machines out there 😵‍💫

Nvidia 想讓世界相信AI 計算的需求是無限的。但實際上，AI 計算並沒有什麼特別之處。 AI真的很棒，發展的方向很多，但哪個方向值得開發呢？從基本原則來看，AI 計算的業務模式與比特幣挖礦並無太大差異，它們活在同個市場。"能源" 是這雙方共享的交叉點。
這兩者的商業模式都是購買大量的電力，然後以利潤出售計算能力。最終，競爭是用電的效率
比特幣礦工相比於 AI 計算有一個明顯的優勢，那就是 AI 計算隨著模型的不斷進化，複雜性一直提升，相對於的比特幣複雜性就是固定的。隨著AI成長，晶片的設計跟著增加功能，打出來的晶片只會越難做。良率就是這樣，TSMC再怎麼努力又不是魔法師。比特幣的晶片的複雜性可以說已經到終點了，已經選好晶片上的空間是怎麼理想的用（sha256-only)。
這複雜性也可以用其他的角度形容不只是晶片：比特幣礦工只需關注冷卻 ASIC 和電源輸送元件，而 AI 計算需要GPU、記憶體、存儲磁盤/SSD、網路等各種組件，這些組件光在體積上的不同，也全面運行時有著不同的散熱需求。相對於，比特幣 ASIC 的熱管理相對簡單，保持所有設備的正常運行相對於容易。在購買大量電力並出售計算能力的業務中，變數越少越好。這禮拜跑去看了Supermicro 的 Nvidia B200機台，被熱心介紹說那麼大台的機器可以吃掉8000W。有那麼厲害嗎？8000w才兩台跟微波爐差不多大的S21而已呢。
誰該用電,是否AI計算的價值可超越比特幣？錢的價值也是一個計算。這算哲學了，分開討論吧。
比特幣礦工在地點選擇上也具有很大的靈活性，也可以隨時開關機，因為工作負載是均一的，這使得比特幣礦工的運營非常靈活。相對於 AI 工作負載是變動的，無法隨需關閉，靈活性較差。for example, 之前分享過了非洲小鎮用瀑布的水力挖礦的故事，Supermicro那台兩百多萬的AI伺服器機架放哪，你覺得那邊網路跟得上用的到嗎？那邊的AI需求會是什麼？何必計算送去哪兒？
老實說，我對 Nvidia 的東西有點看不懂，看到每一家台灣 ODM 在 Computex 上都對 AI 計算百分之百投資，大家雞蛋放一個籃子裡，警覺心呢？媒體也對於黃仁勳的表現出極大的熱情有點誇張，這讓我個人感到有些擔憂。他不只過是一家公司的CEO怎麼崇拜成這樣？

Imagine going back to 2008 and telling people that Nvidia is going to be a $3 trillion company in 2024.
Fiat world is so far removed from reality, their numbers make no sense
Remember the movie "too big to fail' and how the word trillion was treated?
https://image.nostr.build/0580baef577c0ff30d1886c4a9e774a583486e43b97e35a98db6fc7f4780fc3f.jpg
Money printer aside,
At the end of the way, Nvidia wants the world to believe the demand for AI compute is infinite, but AI compute isn't special. The business of AI compute is not far removed Bitcoin Mining if one really strips it down to first principles.
The business is to buy bulk cheap power and sell computation at a profit.
Bitcoin Miners have an advantage over AI compute for the simple reason that AI computing necessitates increasing complexity as models continue to evolve. On the board, Bitcoin Miners just have to worry about cooling ASICs and power delivery components, an AI compute module needs GPUs, memory, storage disks, networking all in one package -- these all have differing thermal requirements when at full operations. As AI computing evolves into new iterations, the yields to produce those chips don't increase, they decrease.
Bitcoin ASICs in comparison have a much simpler thermal envelope, keeping everything running in tip-top shape is straightforward. In the business of buying bulk power and selling compute, the less variables the better.
Bitcoin Miners are also generally location agnostic and can be shut off and on at will because the workload is uniform -- perfectly flexible. AI workloads in comparison are variable and unable to shut off on-demand -- less flexible.
Iono, the Nvidia stuff makes no sense to me, seeing every single Taiwan ODM at computex 100% into AI compute riding on Jensen's dick is worrisome 🥲

if you're separating out between the "machine" that runs your services from the "machine" that builds the software just be sure to keep your packages in lockstep working between them, keep a note of any that don't line up.

there's lots of little quirks with desktop environments under VirtualBox. (i.e. the login page might not display properly, unable to resize windows).

這幾套數字表面上是對的，可是這不是整個故事😅
關於能源，台灣將要發展的風力或太陽能不是能解決台灣能源的問題。這數字對我來說沒什麼意義。台灣用電驚人，只能靠進口。台灣需要的是提升base load, 不是無法預測的能源，台灣也沒位置放電池。台灣對於核能加上地熱得找出路。
大體上國際社會不是那麼想台灣降低它對於來自國外能源的依賴上，這是敏感話題。
關於健保，目前價格配上醫療品質覺得很棒,但在台灣當醫生是很辛苦的一件事。今日美滿，但國民健保的累積的負擔總有一天要還、只能拖給下一輩。簡單說，健保還是要繳錢啦
數字沒什麼好羨慕的 , 台灣人決定交給政府提供醫療的責任，然後還有辦法人民直接監督它才是重點🥳
關於前幾年政府發給人民的紅包，大家開開心心的逛街吃飯，只能問一句：說錢從哪裡來的？不就是印出來的嗎？不管什麼體制下人民還是被剝削的🫠
台灣還是有很多進步的空間. 沒有國際地位的我們只能 work harder 🥹
