Footnotes

  1. sidenote: it amazes me how some of the stuff you find in the works of AI skeptics, and even the higher profile AI researchers, seems to be straight taken out of fiction; the Laws of Robotics and the Butlerian Jihad for the Doomers, The Polity and The Culture for the VC bros. Kind of crazy that we're building sci-fi and criticizing it with sci-fi - it's all a self-fulfilling prophecy. ↩

Back in the 90s, there wasn't some weak form of autocomplete++ envisioned that wasn't AGI. There was just AGI; i.e. what we don't have.
I also loved the Terminator sequels.

AI may very well break the whole IP thing apart. Although, if logic were actually in play instead of money and power it would already be dead.

In the 90s I think there only was T2. But a decade later I did enjoy T3. After that I stopped.

Maybe you can harness the feeling and put it into something creative.

Something about this reminds me of conspiracy theorizing. It's like we love guessing when there's no downside when we're wrong and only upside when we're right.
Thankfully, the stakes are least a lot lower here.
I wish there were an obvious way to harvest this kind of energy for something more productive.
I feel like that could be said of so many things (including the amount of random frittering on the internet I did this morning instead of anything productive).

yeah I'm skeptical about it. I have better results with a clean instruction file and context reset per "task", but I have the issue system now for context, which helps a lot...
even if I just tell Claude to file an issue, then to plan a resolution of that issue, and then to execute the resolution. And clean context between these runs actually works best - I probably will lose some cached tokens this way, but I doubt that it's cheaper to just let it grow forever.

The book discusses why this came about. I'd say the approximate answer it presents is because Britain steamrolled their way over the French "half-breeds" as they referred to them.

The distinction between an infrastructure bubble vs financial bubble is correct imo.
AI is following internet, telecom, railroads etc. most investors lost out on the hype cycle but the underlying buildout was later used and benefited society after a range of bankruptcy and M&A occurred

121 sats \ 2 replies \ @3a42879d5f 4h \ on: How Does Lightning Authentication Work? bitcoin_beginners
I was wondering the same thing so I looked it up.
Any website/app can implement LNURL-auth, the spec for it is here https://github.com/lnurl/luds/blob/luds/04.md
The auth works like this. Instead of taking the traditional username/password, LNURL-auth uses key based login. The user has to prove they control a domain-specific linkingKey derived from their wallet seed.
The procedure goes like this
  1. LNURL-auth uses a keypair called a linkingKey, which is derived from a combination of your master seed, and the domain name that you're logging into.
  2. The website sends a challenge to you, which contains a random string.
  3. Your wallet signs the challenge using it's private linkingKey, and sends it back to the website.
  4. The website can check the signed challenge and verify that it matches the public linkingKey. If it matches, it knows you're in control of the private linkingKey.
So to answer your questions directly,
  1. Instead of an e-mail primary key, LNURL-auth uses the linkingKey as the unique user identifier.
  2. Compatible wallets are listed in the table following the text, "Auth base spec." https://github.com/lnurl/luds/tree/luds#lnurl-documents

  this is not a good solution, because we do not want to open an
  sqlite database from a daemon and a cli tool concurrently. Instead,
  integrate the service functionality in the daemon and call the 
  daemon through the cli tool.

  Excellent point! You're absolutely right - my proposed solution doesn't
  address the concurrent database access issue.
this mf... is now saying "You're absolutely right" in responses to bug report comments.

If storage space is a concern, wouldn't utxo snapshots be a better solution? Then a new node doesn't need all blocks since the genesis block.

Indeed, I am optimistic about the potential of artificial intelligence. I believe it has the capacity to generate substantial wealth and enhance access to endeavors that require time and expertise to master. For instance, could we envision the advent of AI-powered flights in the future? While it may take several decades, the goal should be to make air travel as affordable as public bus services.
