Great episode - feel like this is a refreshing steer back to more principled discussion and the reform shilling can go away.

nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx is actually sounding pretty intelligent and articulate these days šŸ˜‚ he’s come a long way since the early WBD days

Those who can’t do, teach. And those who can’t teach start a podcast

Anyone else’s skin crawl when they hear the phrase ā€˜intellectually dishonest’ 🤣

Wow this content is awesome, love the short but deep technical dives 🤌 Andrew Poelstra is a G. Such a nerd explosion but I’m down for it. Great hosting nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy

This OP_RETURN stuff has really split a lot of bitcoiners I wouldn’t have expected to see on different sides. My 2 sats: if it’s paying a high enough fee to be mined it is not spam, end of story. Trying to argue what is and isn’t a worthy transaction is a dark road to try and go down. Check’s inscription of his dead dog on the blockchain (which he will have paid for) is just as valid as my random test transactions I’ve made when setting up a wallet. Before you know it they’ll say a ā€˜monetary use’ has to be above a certain value or something. Spam is data being relayed that isn’t able to be mined. Stop trying to argue the morality of other peoples transactions.

Great to see a bit more variation in opinions on the show! I think Rupert’s right on a lot of things and definitely coming at the issue with a smarter perspective around building more resilience in our communities and not getting distracted by arbitrary targets. Some of his takes ( such as on AI and nuclear) were pretty awful IMO.

Climate change as a physical phenomenon is very real and measured, and ultimately the result is more volatility in the climate, which means more volatility in weather extremes. At the end of the day that is it. In my perspective it is important to treat as a key issue for the future but it’s perhaps in the top 20 issues amongst many other things, it’s not the dramatic end of civilisation that seems to be creeping in under certain ideological lenses.

It doesn’t mean severe weather events will get worse, there’s more nuance to it. It means that the probability of severe weather events could increase. Severe weather is already a risk and has been for all of our existence. We DO need to improve our resilience to them as a species, same way we improve our livelihood in myriad other ways with technology. As Rupert touched on, the answer is to focus on improving community resilience to all sorts of potential future scenarios, whether that’s increasing local energy security, local food security, local flood resilience etc, but not because of a fear of an abstract future of climate but because it is sensible and beneficial today to do that.

I don’t agree that we should be trying to get rid of fossil fuel sources in favour of wind and solar, I think as a species we should be trying to harness all energy sources as aggressively as possible. Building strong, energy dense, powerful, advanced civilisations will naturally make us more resilient to the impacts of bad floods or changing climate.

Any Bitcoin or Nostr projects that are good for a python dev to start contributing to? Or do I just need to learn rust?

I could listen to Michael Dunworth for hours - send it straight into my veins. No one else can so perfectly blur the line between savant genius and absolute nutter. Great ep 🤌

A particularly poignant nostr:npub10uthwp4ddc9w5adfuv69m8la4enkwma07fymuetmt93htcww6wgs55xdlq this week, the tone reflecting many people’s mood. The sustained silence from @ODELL said everything. Matt and Marty have been talking for years now about the current situation being inevitable, yet it still brings a very bitter taste.

Wow how things have changed in less than a year…

Day 183 of waiting until nostr:npub1a27t5chyqgfygncyfqwzpvvkrms6shhal9756jkgnpyzjqpsz5jqama5yp goes global and available outside US 😢

A ā€˜rare sat’ is like saying there’s a ā€˜rare gram’ of gold. Just another scam to get money from fools

What the fuck is going on in the US?!? The surveillance authoritopia timeline seems to be playing out more and more. US govt is an embarrassment
