- Comment on Do you care about up/down votes? 16 minutes ago:
I dont think it changes my pov, but it def does for other people on a large scale
you could say the same message in different parts of the same thread, and by chance one will accumulate more downvotes and one will accumulate more upvotes
for example: sh.itjust.works/post/39444493/18993947 and sh.itjust.works/post/39444493/18993522 say the same thing, but one has 42 updates and 8 downvotes and one has 120 downvotes to 23 upvotes
people need to stop looking at these numbers
- Comment on What would it take to make Gemini suitable to be president of the world? 29 minutes ago:
probably some way to extert real power, like if it controlled a vast sum of money
and it would need to have a bunch of really complex economic models and tons of computing power
no simple answer to this, I like the question btw
- Comment on Most American headline 49 minutes ago:
just allocate some of those funds to providing food for every student
yeah 90%+ of the cost would be covered and the rest would be small enough that it wouldnt place a financial burden on anyone
- Comment on Most American headline 23 hours ago:
I’m not sure you understand that anyone can afford to pay a small enough sum for food
the point isn’t that the money will cover the cost
if lunch costs less than a dollar every single kid will be able to pay that and if they don’t their teacher could easily provide because of how small a sum of money that is
- Comment on Most American headline 23 hours ago:
everyone has at least a dollar
and if they don’t then have the lunch be further subsidized
but the cost should be just above $0
- Comment on Most American headline 1 day ago:
I think school lunch should cost something, but very little, just so the kids can understand the value of money
like a dollar per lunch isnt that much at all
but it shouldn’t place a large financial strain on poor families

- Comment on Meta shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to explore adding Bitcoin to the company's treasury, with less than 1% voting in favor of the measure 4 days ago:
there’s better methods than how Bitcoin works (PoW) like Proof of Stake, but that has its own problems, like bringing more centralization to the network. Like how with bitcoin if a miner controls more than half of the global hash rates, they can mint more money than should be, in a currency with PoS they could just buy half of the coins and do it

imagine not being able to read
they literally said some is a scam
therefore they don’t consider all of it to be good, and therefore they don’t ‘simp’ for it
- Comment on Meta shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to explore adding Bitcoin to the company's treasury, with less than 1% voting in favor of the measure 4 days ago:
most of the shareholders aren’t ‘plebs’
- Comment on Meta shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to explore adding Bitcoin to the company's treasury, with less than 1% voting in favor of the measure 4 days ago:
As long as those companies have to compete with each other for mining, there is some decentralization. Ofc it could be a ton more, some currencies like Monero use different hash functions that cant have custom chips made for them, making it easier for traditional CPUs to mine it, so large companies cant control vast amounts of the hash rate.

- Comment on Xitter Pause Encrypted DMs. 1 week ago:
I think there was a once a time in which he did some smart stuff (although he gets a ton a credit for stuff his employies do), but since he starting taking all those drugs he became actually insane and stupid
like theres actually no benefit of any sort to do a fucking Nazi salute
- Comment on The plan for nationwide fiber internet might be upended for Starlink 1 week ago:
I’ve heard starlink is faster than fiber by a few nanoseconds and big finance really wants that for their high-speed trading
most of its signals move though space, compared to the glass in fiber so it sorta makes sense
