I'm OCD: One Cool Dude.
You did and it will always be safe position to take. The modern state is a feature of fiat, not the other way around.
(I think you may define fiat more narrowly and commodity money more broadly than I am here. I'd argue for a broader definition that encompasses all lending at interest and seniorage.)
The market isn't driving or it would be free. I think you are right that there is a sly and roundabout way to embed more cryptography into the system, by playing on its incentives, as Bitcoin already does. I think security is actually the greatest open opportunity there.
But the control grid is built on things that cryptography fundamentally threatens. Lying, stealing, cheating and slavery are not byproducts. They are it's very substrate.
From clipper chips to PQ migration, the pervasive deepest logic of system will always be anti-crypto at its core. It will only allow it grudgingly, in limited domains and it will always be attacking it at the same time.
Fiat is inherently anti-rreality. Cryptography is reality's enforcement arm.
The system has conflicting incentives that can be exploited to make limited progress, but we have to remember that full adoption of cryptography is an existential threat to the system. Privacy, security and freedom are antithetical to its very existence.
The crypto wars will be fought to the end.
Ha! Fair. Guilty. ๐ค
What do you think of this theory:
Part of the reason people hate AI in is because of the sense of implicit deception. It's just a database, but it feels like it's pretending to be people. And we hate pretend people from our souls.
It's just a database, but it apes us and that naturally rubs us the wrong way. Too human-ish and yet nobody is home.
Other reasons too, for sure, but what do you think of that about the kind of visceral reaction? Kind of an uncanny valley thing...
Because of all the "hooray vibez coding" energy maybe?
Dude, @raybuni, sorry for spamming two of your notes in a row but...
Rebased just:
- inited it's own repo
- generated its own project npub and nip05
- signed its own commits
- authed it's own pushes
- ran and signed its own release
- signed its own build
- broadcast it's own repo card, profile and release announcement
... All from git on the command line
Right after you install rebased so you can build AS your npub. ๐ (Linux only today, macos coming in a day or two.)
Hey, set up your zaps
Well, I threw all the qualifiers on it so you couldn't disagree with me ๐ agreed..we can get a little dogmatic about it. Including me. Reality check is helpful
Gallileo was a egotist who made his own problems. They just wanted him to get proof before he published. Which he didn't have. The problem wasn't his theory, it was being as asshole about it.
Now everybody believes in fake science and orderly proof has been replaced with a popularity contest. Is this better?
Is your problem with chivalry because of feminism? If so, I agree. All that sir lancalot adulterous "courtly love" bullcrap is not real chivalry. The real thing was literally a Christian code of conduct for soldiers. It's that simple.
Check out "In Praise of the New Knighthood" by St. Bernard of Clairvaux. 1126. Written for the Knights Templar. That's the real thing.
BTW, fun fact, St Nicholas was a real guy and Arius certainly found out how real he was when he smacked the blasphemy out of his mouth at Ephisus.
And he actually did sneak into a guy's house once to leave gifts. It was doweries for the old widdower's daughters so they didn't end up as prostitutes. Based guy. Not currently riding around with flying reindeer however.
Man, where did you get that chivalry is not Christian? I am just not sure what to do with a claim like that. I have literally read the early chivalry manuals and they are definitely Christian manuals on moral conduct for soldiers written by Christians for Christians and full of Christian values.
I agree that life in the modernity was soft for a while, compared to starving because of a drought or or something. But that wasn't because of kings or knights. That was because of technology and we definitely have better tech now. Culture is another question.
I get that you might not like the idea of going to church if you are not a Christian and that's fine. Christians believe in free will. I don't think it was ever a wide spread thing that anyone was forced to go to church by anyone other than their parents, and parents do need to make decisions for kids.
No, I said what *I* think modernity's story is. Speaking for myself and not trying to put any words in your mouth at all.
Chivalry was a code of honorable behavior created by christian military leaders to stop their soldiers from misbehaving on campaigns (such as mistreating peasant women) because that's part of what happens when you take soldiers into the field.
The old chivalry manuals, from before it got perverted into the modem romantic thing by Elanore of Aquitain and her Troubodours writing the King Aurther soap operas, were very solid and based.
I agree with your general point on nostalgia, I just disagree with that particular example. I think that one goes the other way around. The middle ages get a bad rap.
Sorry, man. I'm picking a nit and being pretty autistic here and I acknowledge that. I have taken an interest in this bit of history and I've been really surprised by what I found. Very decentralized and free. Hard living, but just because of nature mostly. One of the best times on human stuff. Very decentralized too.
Modernity just teaches us to think it was oppressed to deflect from the fact that modernity is actually way more oppresive on a human level.
Just keep building.
Jonny still can't encrypt. I don't think we're losing. I think we're going to win. But we're still have not fundamentally broken through. Our time has not yet come. Just keep building.
Hey, *cough*... I just shipped something I think nostr devs might like. Would love some feedback:
(Shallow build issue on macos. Will ship for macos in a couple days. Linux looking good though.)
I didn't say you said that. I'm just saying that's all sort of part of the same modern narrative frame and I question that knights in the "dark ages" were all a bunch of rapists. Or that women were generally oppressed in Christendom. The whole "dark ages" vs "enlightenment" thing is pretty loaded. What were knights and kings actually like? I'm not attacking you personally, man. I'm just not sure I buy modernity's story anymore.
Grace is good. Life is boring when everyone is afraid to make mistakes. WoT has great potential, but if we turn it into a tribal social credit score, that will be a great fail.
Real vs fake is not human vs AI.
"AI" is just a database.
It's two kinds of humans.
Sincerity vs. dissimulation.
There is nothing new under the sun.
Volume has become an even more useless proxy for programmer skill. This is only a short term problem as the cream will rise to the top like never before.
Absolutely. If you actually get to make that decision. If the woman sides with the state, you don't have a choice. Men don't really get to make this call under our system. Final decision is on the mother. Because, ya know, "smash the HE-erarchy"
Thanks. If it was up to me, he'd be homeschooled. I would never willingly hand over my child to the system
๐ฏ Modernity tears down fathers, especially the schools.
At the assembly on the first day of my son's kindergarten, the principal, a 50yrld divorced woman with pink hair, wearing an acid washed mini skirt, stood on stage, threw her fist in the air and shouted:
"We're gonna smash the he-erarchy!"
Wives and children are turned against the father for the "freedom" offed by the state. The modern state destroys fatherhood to destroy the family and take its power because that's the key to enslaving everyone .
Thank you. I've been saying this forever
There are basically three camps, as I understand it, who all agree this is impossible.
1. Gil Kalai and friends who buy QM but says there is "correlated-noise" that will limit scale even with perfect engineering
2. Roger Penrose and friends who don't buy QM as it stands but have another model and would say there is "self-decoherence" because of gravity and such
3. The aristotelian/common sense camp (which I agree with) that says that quantum weirdness is a total misunderstanding because materialists are looking at the world upside down
Whoever has the right model, there are more people than you might think who agree it's obviously not physically possible. That doesn't mean we dont think the eimnginers are good enough. It means it is not possible because reality has rules and those rules called physics make it fundamentally totally impossible.
I think from a non-insane point of view, as things get bigger you end up with a normal universe and not a quantum weird universe. Have you ever violated the principle of non-contradiction in real life? Have you ever known a cat that was both alive and dead?
Whatever the details are, the result is the same. If you are a "Believe the Science" type, rather than a common sense person, I suggest Gil Kalai. They've been running these experiments for a long time and never proven his math or his point wrong this whole time. I am pretty sure a lot of the researchers secretly think he is probably right by now, but what are they going to do?
I don't want to burn any coins either, though I have not looked hard enough at The Cat yet to decide if I think it is valid to kill the spam and dust. I do not agree with supporting non-menetary abuses of the network. So maybe that makes sense but I I'm not taking a hard position right now and I'm not focused on that and haven't dug in enough.
What I do care about is that doing anything about QC right now is objectively very destructive to Bitcoin and freedom tech in general. ECC is our best weapon and we shouldn't give it up based on an an unfalsifiable and unoroven belief that QC is even possible, much less eminent.
If they crack a key with shor we will have plenty of time to deal with it before it becomes and economically viable threat. Which will never happen anyway. So let's shut this FUD attack down for now. There are a lot of bad incentives for promoting this scare and it is all bullshit.
Exactly. Anybody can make these kinds of unfalsifiable claims and collect infinite money if they get a hype bubble going
Le sigh. Like half of my conversations some days.
It's not just cost prohibitive. It is physically impossible. Scaling up quantum without decoherence and reversion to thermodynamics is like breaking the speed of light.
You can't just add it without profoundly damaging the network. QC that breaks a Bitcoin key is physically impossible. The whole thing is a bridge to nowhere.
You might as well start disfiguring the network to protect against perpetual motion machines or breaking the speed of light. Not. Gonna. Happen.
Read Human Action. It's such a huge unlock. ๐๏ธ
You just made a very substantial false statement.
Lindblad is the gold-standard description of open quantum systems.
It has never been falsified.
Every attempt to scale past a few hundred physical qubits confirms it: Nยฒ correlated decoherence wins.
QEC doesnโt repeal Lindblad.
It adds more measurements and makes the Nยฒ term worse.
Show me one paper where Lindblad is falsified or QEC removes the Nยฒ scaling.
Either show me a paper that disproves Lindbald or admit you are wrong.
No more dodging.
