Bitcoin & 🫂 Oh and dimly trying to think through interesting issues. I think that I don’t have a right to force you to do anything other than not harm me or others. Seems like most people I interact with in the real world disagree with this statement. To be fair.. the devil is in definition of “harm”.

“Horza recalled that the Culture's attitude to somebody who believed in an omnipotent God was to pity them, and to take no more notice of the substance of their faith than one would take of the ramblings of somebody claiming to be Emperor of the Universe. The nature of the belief wasn't totally irrelevant - along with the person's background and upbringing, it might tell you something about what had gone wrong with them - but you didn't take their views _seriously_.”

What percent shouldn’t have been killed?

From Paul Cristiano on Dwarkesh Patel’s podcast on AI safety. This is so important to remember. Current #AI is just one of the first things that really work. We need to build it with the realization that this could be the first in a line of species that survives us and fills the universe. #aisafety https://video.nostr.build/0bf2e15d7252aadf4d111f32159c078fcbd818a90c82d7908f81343d1550648e.mp4

lol good troll. More than you assume 🫂

But I wasn’t suggesting teamwork across the border, though I’d bet at least one person from each side would collaborate.

I was asking whether anyone knows what local availability of printers are on both sides of the border. I haven’t tried to get a 3d printer in either place.

Guessing it’s the same as anything, you hash a message and achieve something specific in the hashed output - often leading zeros. The more unlikely the output, the harder it probably was. I saw something the other day where Nostr messages got PoW added to them to filter out spam.

It’s really interesting stuff. My thoughts are evolving. But it does seem like the Gods imagined by some religions must be evil according to our understanding at least.
