The best I can do is prove that there are infinitely pairs coprime to any list of primes. Basically you can't give me any list of primes up to but not including infinity for which I couldn't find a pair of number separated by two neither of which have any factors in your list.
There are infinite pairs of primes such that P_n+1 - P_n = 2. Examples are (3,5),(5,7),(11,13),(17,19) etc..
I care about speed because I'd rather hear words at the end of a "thought much and said little" process than a stream-of-concious word dump.
Also I like math and logical reasoning. Language is only sorta useful for that. We have to come up with special definitions of words for logical contexts. Programming is an excellent case. By if we mean "if and only if" and or is not exclusive OR. If the symbols, oft times, WERE the conclusion I wouldn't have to hold so much in my head at once.
You'll have to forgive me, I want this to be able to solve the twin prime conjecture, but I run into a hard limit on the complexity that I can reason about at once. I wonder if I could offload some of the work onto a symbolic system that maintains part of the state for me.

We need a token set with no pronunciation and a method of translation. Would be cool if it could be transmitted without translation though. Just write out the tokens for other people to read in. Maybe someone deaf from birth would do a better job of developing it.
That is a great point. But having something on the tip of your tongue is also one of the most frustrating exercises in thinking. It feels incomplete. I have often wondered, however, if we could develop an internal symbol set that was not constrained by time to speed up thinking. By "constrained by time" I mean that words, being serialized sound pressure levels necessarily take time to utter and thus to think.
Since viseospacial reasoning can happen much faster it gives me hope that it is somewhat possible.
Yes. Though maybe not symbolic thoughts. I plainly don't use language to plan complex physical motions in real time. Stuff like deciding a path to take through a bunch of trees. I also don't use language to do mental rotations etc. but I have never succeeded in thinking about anything abstract with language. I have heard of people who claim they don't but I am not sure I believe them.
Language is fascinating. It is a weird communication interface because each of us has our own internal vocabulary. Words are useful because they mean similar things to many people, but there is no way to ensure that words have identical meaning between people.
This is really powerful because it allows language to act as a communication and translation layer between completely unique environments (heads) the only sure way to communicate is through dialog in order to come to a shared understanding.
This makes bandwidth low, but I think that is a feature. If bandwidth were high I might not be able to distinguish between my own thoughts and yours. I wouldn't know which ideas need closer verification. The slow twisted process of language is what builds our sense of self.
It also allows different minds to treat ideas differently. This is a defense against general exploits and a source of new ideas.
Lol, Amethyst helpfully translates this from the original for me. Now it makes no sense.
That or recommending against trying the queso.
Starliner to the Stars

A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket with Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft aboard launches from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Wednesday, June 5, 2024, in Florida. NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test is the first launch with astronauts of the Boeing CFT-100 spacecraft and United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket to the International Space Station as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. The flight test, which launched at 10:52 a.m. EDT, serves as an end-to-end demonstration of Boeing’s crew transportation system and will carry NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to and from the orbiting laboratory.

Not really. I could introduce an encrypted VoD event type, that all major studios support. I split my videos into sections and refuse to give up the key till 30 seconds after you download an ad. Granted you could then make a Nostr client that downloads the ads ahead of time and skips them. Then I make sure not to send the ad until the correct time has elapsed.
Next you cache the content but then I DMCA you. Next I have signed clients that promise not to let you copy the content and we are right back where we started.
People will download the signed clients because they don't care about anything other than whether they can watch Lonely Wives of Svalbard or not.
Embrace, extend, extinguish still works.
The only way to prevent that is to make it unnecessary and inconvenient. If creators have a way to monetize content in a protected way they won't be inclined to sign on to some anti-priacy racket.
I don't actually have a good answer to this. I hate ads, subscriptions, and paywalls. My opinion might change if we really do solve the micro transaction problem via crypto.
If nostr succeeds there will eventually be advertising. Not because it is a necessary good but simply because advertisers follow attention, and people who attract attention will follow money. Not all, but money does free up time to do more attention grabbing. I waffle on whether it makes sense to build in advertising models to begin with so users have as much control as we can give them. In any case nostr should make it impossible to have unskippable ads.
Also please ignore anyone who claims that birds aren't round. They are just trying to make calculations more difficult.
You have to understand. No one wants to be at fault for their own lack of success. Can't catch a bird? Birds aren't real. Haven't traveled around the world? The world isn't round. Extrapolate from there.
.. to anyone who hasn't already burned out their cochlea by buying high-fidelity audio equipment.
Don't mind me, I'm just envious. I never had good equipment and my ears still ring. I think it is the poor mastering on my three year old.
Still confused. What do the invites allow beyond the browser plugin and lightning wallet?
Congratulations to Starliner for brings Butch and Sunni to space!
I am confused by this. I already have an Alby account for which I needed no invitation. Did they restrict access after I signed up or is this for an aspect of Alby that I don't know about?
