Making jambalaya on Saturday. Listening to podcasts about AI. Life’s good.

It's a complex topic to discuss, so I try to reduce it to simple principals. In this case, the article leads with a dishonest statement that groups a large thing, the energy usage of all data centers, with a much smaller one, the usage by AI and crypto. In the body they make other illogical comparisons, such as the energy cost compared to a Google search, but presumably not a corresponding fraction of the dependent Google services, or those expended by anyone that they're indexing, or loading the page that was searched for, or whether the same value was ultimately provided by this single Google search. Once you see the pattern of cherry picking and logical fallacies, it becomes clear that if you actually care about the environment, this IMF article shouldn't be trusted. And really, any climate change article that isn't almost exclusively about the carbon based energy industries shouldn't be trusted, as these are most of the problem. Austerity (of any form other than pricing) is about control: more non carbon energy is the only real solution.

"Crypto mining and data centers now account for 2 percent of global electricity use"

Wow, that's an amazing bundle.

This kids pail and the ocean account for 99.999% of all the salt water in the world.

A rational person might ask what the relative contributions are.

All virtue is integral. You cannot take just one piece of it without the others, otherwise you end up with vice.

Prudence, or low time preference behavior, must be integrated with fortitude and justice, otherwise you just become a miser.

Fortitude, or courage, without prudence or temperance turns you into a degenerate gambler.

Justice without fortitude or temperance turns you into a keyboard warrior who never acts.

Seek virtue as a whole, not just the part that happens to be useful to you right now.

I jumped on a spaces tonight after the Crypto4Harris town hall and was given the opportunity to speak to a crowd full of broad crypto/progressive enthusiasts

I talked about Bitcoin, human rights, financial inclusion, and how democrats and the Harris admin need to prioritize self-custody rights, Bitcoin mining, and freedom to use Bitcoin, for everyone.

I’ll continue to do this every opportunity I get. There will be more events that I’ll be able to hopefully speak at and address these concerns, with possibility to work with others to highly influence policies and policy on the matter. Not for “the industry,” not for politicians

For the people. Power to the power to the people, always!

Moment of vulnerability here, wondering if anyone has had a similar experience before.

I completely LOST it on another person's kid today when I thought they had intentionally hurt my daughter, but I was wrong and now I feel horrible.

Context: on a road trip with another family. The other child has behavioral issues and has been known to get physical in the past with others at school and daycare. Over the course of the trip he's been pretty poorly behaved and aggressive but not downright violent... but I had it in the back of my mind that it could happen.

My daughter was playing with him in the other room, then suddenly runs out screaming, bleeding from the mouth and saying that he had hit her. I've never experienced anyone intentionally hurt my little girl and I instantly flew into protective dad mode before properly assessing the situation. In my mind he had punched her in the mouth.

I stormed into the room and flew into a rage, screaming at the absolute top of my lungs, pointing my finger in the kid's face saying to NEVER touch her EVER again. His mom was right behind me. He was likely terrified and I was honestly way beyond any level of anger I've ever felt.

In the next minute or two my daughter then clarified that it was an accident and they had been playing rough but had unintentionally slammed into each other.

The boy cried, his mom was in shock, and she also had tears in her eyes. I feel absolutely awful about the whole situation, I should have had more self control, and I'm a little in shock how quickly I became an absolute monster to a young kid.

I apologized in the moment to both of them and sent a message after saying I should have handled the situation better.

Just really upset about the whole thing, unsure how to proceed now. Any girl dads out there ever have this happen to them?

Project Hail Mary was such a good book
