It’s totally bizarre. I don’t understand “big Australia” policy at all.

What’s more perplexing is that ~20mil other Australians appear to either be ignoring it or just not upset enough to do something about it??

Just checking in with the nation: we cool with this?

Mood - on my way to stack sats, shit post about the Australian government and travel for the holidays

What do you think?

Breaking the 🇦🇺 Extraction Cycle

Failed states aren't born. They're designed.

When extraction trumps production, societies decay. We're heading towards a tipping point.

SHITE is our circuit breaker.

This isn't about blame. This is systems-level refocus.

Automation in my work hasn't reduced opportunity—it's multiplied it. Better jobs. Smarter processes.

From boardrooms to breakrooms, push SHITE uphill.

Australia's Potential: It's Time for a SHITE Revolution 🇦🇺

Let's be real.

Our upstream systems are broken.

Government bureaucracy, systemic inefficiencies, and a growing culture of extraction over production are slowly eroding the foundations of what made Australia great.

We've become a nation more focused on gaming the system—whether through property speculation, exploiting government support mechanisms, or seeking loopholes—than on actually creating value.

We've got the resources. We've got the talent.

What we're missing is the collective will to transform our potential into reality.

This is about personal and collective responsibility.

This isn't about waiting for a saviour. This is about Australian ingenuity. This is about rolling up our sleeves and creating the change we want to see.

We're not asking for permission. We're setting the standard.

It's a rebellion against mediocrity.

From boardrooms to breakrooms, we can push SHITE uphill towards government.

Thinking about getting the highest level of YouTube subscription because the ads are so lame.

On one level, advertising can be annoying. However the absolute dross that comes from advertising on YouTube is absolute 🐶💩 and a whole new standard in annoyance.

What agencies are making these ads!?

Who the f**k buys from these property and trading “gurus”?!

Gee whiz

“I see a lot of confusion about Google's Monday press release about quantum supremacy, so let me try to clarify a few things.

They say they did a computation on a ca 100 qubit chip much faster than a conventional (super)computer could do. The particular calculation in question is to produce a random distribution. The result of this calculation has no practical use.

They use this particular problem because it has been formally proven (with some technical caveats) that the calculation is difficult to do on a conventional computer (because it uses a lot of entanglement). That also allows them to say things like "this would have taken a septillion years on a conventional computer" etc.

It's exactly the same calculation that they did in 2019 on a ca 50 qubit chip. In case you didn't follow that, Google's 2019 quantum supremacy claim was questioned by IBM pretty much as soon as the claim was made and a few years later a group said they did it on a conventional computer in a similar time.

So while the announcement is super impressive from a scientific pov and all, the consequences for everyday life are zero. Estimates say that we will need about 1 million qubits for practically useful applications and we're still about 1 million qubits away from that.

Also, it's been a recurring story that we have seen numerous times in the past years, that claims of quantum "utility" or quantum "advantage" or quantum "supremacy" or whatever you want to call it later evaporate because some other group finds a clever way to do it on a conventional computer after all.”

Interesting! There’s a lot of noise about Google’s statement.

What’s the read on supercomputers vs #bitcoin ?

Google made major advance today, but still nowhere near compromising cryptography.

However, compute power compounds….soooo ?

Not rambling at all.

I went to a bitcoin conference in Sydney recently and it was good fun.

I definitely want to find businesses and people who are working diligently to give bitcoin more life.

While I love shitposting about the horrid mess our government/economy is, the way I think I can make a difference is through work.

I own a consultancy and a small marketing agency.

Both help businesses grow.

However, most #nostr and #bitcoin folks would say it’s old world. Or fiat mining. Or something like that.

But here’s the thing—I’ve always been driven by the idea of freedom: financial freedom, freedom of time, freedom to create, and freedom to connect with like-minded people.

The freedom economy, as I see it, is about building value that transcends borders, systems, and the traditional ways of working. It’s about decentralisation, innovation, and a shared vision for independence.

So, I’m curious: how can I better align my efforts to support others who share these values?

How can I use what I’ve built to contribute to this shift, rather than being stuck in the ‘old world’ framework?

I’d love to hear from as many people as possible.

How do you #nostriches and #austriches direct your energy toward these goals?
