A movie worth revisiting:

Set 5: 10 (diamond)

It is seriously one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever learned about.

In a completely unscientific way, I believe it’s because we live in a simulation and the uncertainty principle is a computational efficiency algorithm. As an engineer, I would take shortcuts in order to best use resources. If I needed to calculate every particles exact position at all times that would require more processing power. By using a wave function it means you can calculate much more quickly, until a more precise calculation is required.

I personally grapple with the metaphysical implications of this for free will. I think there are other theories or evidence of true randomness (like a recent variation on a theory of quantum gravity) which could mean that we don’t live in a totally deterministic universe.

I just try to live the best life I can. My experience of consciousness is one with free will. If that’s an illusion I still experience free will so I think I can be happy with that.

Day 197 & 198 of #100pushups ✅

Skipped Saturday so today I've been doing 25x8 along the day 🙃

Yes Ai. I made this wild series where on entire African continent wild animals morphed with humans in all kinds or rebellious uprisings.

This is my most favorite way of working with an Ai where you break the model in purpose to get glitches and imperfections. I love the weirdness it creates.

Gm.

It seems that it will be very hard for Brazil to identify and enforce the fines on VPN usage for Twitter/X. But it’s a powerful scare tactic.

When the United States banned gold ownership in the1930s (which lasted for four decades all the way into the 1970s btw), they didn’t really enforce it at the household level. They just had large prison terms that were rarely ever applied, which effectively dried up liquidity in the gold market.

Some people have pointed out that Nostr relays could be blocked by Brazilian internet providers if Nostr was big enough to matter. However, more relays could spin up, so they’d have to keep adding to the list.

Brazil’s government could then say it’s illegal to use VPNs for any Nostr app around internet censoring. The defense against that is to make Nostr as ubiquitous as possible. The more apps that tie into Nostr in some way, the harder it is to ever ban it in practice. Some people might not even know their favorite app uses Nostr. Imagine if everyone’s favorite short form app, long form app, podcasting app, reviews app, wallet app, recipes app, picture app, music app, and tons of other stuff are tied into Nostr, and how hard that would be to ban.

If Nostr becomes big enough to really matter, it’s because it’ll be tied into so many different things. That’s super powerful. And the devs keep building rapidly.

Everyone watching them debate was like, Oh, snap!
