This essay is the only thing that made law school make sense.

The inconsistency of law drove me nuts - how arbitrary every decision was. It basically boiled down to "I don't like X so I'm not allowing it"

Coming from engineering, this was hell.

Until I read this essay. It explains that everything needs to be interpreted by a person, and people can only interpret according to their background/experience/values. And so multiple people can "see" the same situation and draw completely different conclusions.

So the most important decision you can make is choosing a jurisdiction+forum that's favorable toyou. A judge / jury pool that matches your values

You'd enjoy "the myth of the rule of law" by some Yale professor

Basically the only reason the law felt consistent was because the people interpreting it had a nearly identical background, life experience and values

What's the nostr way of sharing a video?

Person <-> llm <-> llm <-> person

You can just build an MCP vector DB so your team can seamlessly share knowledge between their ai assistants

The project is kind of confused bc it started as "I want to chat with an entire podcast series (as a vector db)" and kind of pivoted to chatting with individual podcast episodes by loading into context.

MCP server to let you download, transcribe, and chat with fountain podcasts - still WIP and heavily vibe coded so if anythings broken it's claudes fault https://github.com/JohnZolton/Gobble

I just want chat-with-podcast so I can easily find sections

Like wtf was the best way to propagate sweet potato slips

Best 50 yard grouping of my life (so fa r)

New addition

Okay we have downloading, transcribing, and advertisement tagging and summaries working

Idk how useful summaries are they're kind of too high level

Maybe useful for the vector db to narrow down what episodes to query.

Idk wouldn't the vector db take care of that anyway?

This is kind of a combo if two goals:

- Process podcasts so I never hear an ad again

- turn entire series into vector db for RAG

Like "chat with all of RHR"

Wouldn't it be cool if you could create a knowledge base from an entire podcast series

Download all the episodes, transcribe, extract key insights, vector db, rag Q&A

How can I manifest myself out of these allergies

I truly don't understand this bifurcation people have.

Labelling this savings vs investments vs cash vs whatever

You literally only have capital and your decision is how to allocate it

And MSTY folks all ignore the big disclaimer that MSTY has "LIMITED UPSIDE POTENTIAL" but just ignore that part

Like if it gets you more BTC compared to buying BTC then say that instead of these weird ass arguments

The latest Huberman-lab guest said essentially that hunting dogs like to hunt BC theyre predators, so

Do prey animals enjoy being chased?
