Maybe it's also a great thing to not to have to attempt to project prowess and lead in every aspect.
Not sure about this either.
Wouldn't fragmentation (alternative approaches to technological development) also benefit global innovation, as opposed to developing in lockstep? Sure, there are benefits to joint sharing of technology, but that doesn't seem to be reality in many areas.
My take is that leaving a meeting after chewing through key areas and allowing other members to continue discussions is a sign of maturity and realism. There's obviously a lot of areas that might be important to represent. Somehow I don't imagine that all nations of the globe were represented. That's significant in that we should consider all nations equal.
Interesting rant.
Well, you anticpated that I couldn't make much sense of music theory. Oddly though, it all made logical sense in terms of already knowing basics of how chords are formed on a fretboard. In terms of scales and musical notation, not sure I know much beyond that you are talking much about resonance. What do you use in music theroy if not your ear?
I don't really get your critique of contemporary, but I wasn't sure if that is a juxtaposition to be considered in light of classical music. Contemporary is post 1940's? Electrified?
Did Beethoven say (paraphrasing and translating) 'all music is frequency over time'?
In my mind, classical needs defining:
- Classical music = tradition / geography (scales, tunings, rhythms, instruments etc.)
- Classical = The use of elements of a classical music orchestra (as in classic rock.)
- Classical as in pre-modern tuning, as A = 440Hz became IEX/ISO standard in music technology, diffrentiating non-standard tunings to a modern contemporary / classical standard.
Interesting how DEEPSEEK3.1 and GROK4 seem to share a very similar strategy.
huhh.
Maybe not the same, but from looking at performance.
I have a general question. Hopefully it does not come across as ludicrous to an immunologist.
If both recombinant and live vaccines were studied (but not live-recombinant as I understand from the article) and were both found to have significant outcomes on the likelihood of stemming the onset of dementia, does this indicate that contracting shingles in its naturally occurring state would also presumably have a similar outcome?
Japan and Korea for quality (meat, seafood and service)
Japan for rice quality
Thai for taste
Vietnamese for pho's life-giving nutrition
Chinese and Malay for dexterity
It's weird right though, how we can be having a conversation on this topic which clearly is important as many people who feel that the level of technological subterfuge and corresponding snoopy-ness that we need to consider is quite insane.
Imagine a nation, I don't know, Iceland, population of 5m? just not putting up with ChatControl and going to back to their perfectly normal lives without phones.
Maybe all the people who held off getting a mobile for as long as they could are the same people opposing this?
You're quite right in your estimation of how ill-thought through my statement was. That's why I said 'kinda'.
The way I see it, it's not really easy for (most) people to live without a phone. But I guess I was thinking, if things got so bad, and I felt my private conversations with my lady were being stored, analyzed and flagged, I might have the mind to throw my phone out of the window. Like the sentiment of 'kill your television' to stop being brain washed by it. Or, if you wanted to escape the constraints of punctuality, we have the option to smash all our clocks.
Obviously, the limitation is largely affected by whether or not this happens on-masse.
But I think there's still substance there, if collectively we get to the point.
Free speech/freedom of speech is interesting in that you could impose whatever controls you want, but it's likely ineffective in that I could still say what I want in my head, and say nothing because you are the gestapo. Then when I get back home, I say it to everyone else.
I started to watch this and really enjoyed the conversation up to where I nodded off.
Karl Popper is certainly a curious creature. I can't say that I've read it (The Open Society and Its Enemies) but I did read a book he wrote earlier which was more of a deep dive into scientific rationale, reasoning and rigor 'The Brain and Itself'. I'd say that it's actually a debate between the premise of our rationale, scientific mind through the lenses of Popper as a philosopher and scientist, and that of a neurologist. It was actually very helpful in understanding Popper's theoretical notion of worlds as physical, mental, and social constructs.
From what I understand, or feel, a lot of the popularity of his work was somewhat perverted by the ideals of the questionable and dubious 'thought leaders' of our more recent day. Like the interviewee suggested, probably Popper would be horrified by how his ideas have been taken out of context by NGO opportunists who read a few books that were shaping views at the turn of the century, and have created doctrine from misinterpreted conclusions for today.
I'll re-watch this, would like to know what conclusions they came to.
I suffer from this on occasion. I don't know why, but sometimes it's really annoying.
I used to notice that the second last tune that I heard before I'd leave home was the one that stuck there.
doomer on AI.
I stayed up the other night and read ai-2027
Reading things, going through bouts of anxiety because I understand less of what I'm aware of but increasingly aware of more. Usually, the process of reading always pays off though.
Agree that these broad policy changes are needed. Not sure whether the 'non-productive' part is the problem. Housing, to my mind, is a huge problem because
-
Skewing the supply/demand metrics and encouraging speculation. Inflating the demand for housing, and simultaneously creating ill-designed new supply, is not working well, people need communities.
-
Demand: Housing is a basic survival utility for every person, not just per household (some people do not have families cannot co-habit etc.) so, demand should be priority.
So yeah, when governments break the basic utilitarian needs of most people, with price [x] earnings multiples ,of lowest cost housing supply, it's basically acting against the wishes of its people. Income generation through skills and education would come with community.
Thanks.
I do see some of the trade-offs for both for and against, but feel hard to be persuaded that there'd be minimal risk. I know it's the age-old ossification debate, but I'm erring on the side of caution.
Not sure how I, a human, am supposed to answer this question. My post does explicitly acknowledge (and set aside) the issue of implementation risks, though.
Sorry, I didn't mean you can answer that, was just wondering if developing a code-base (with growth in ai usage) is seen as a threat by proficient Bitcoin devs.
"Go ahead, do your worst… think of the scariest risk imaginable for covenants."
Questions, questions ..
to piggyback on what @justin_shocknet wrote about systems and languages ..
Would introducing covenants require adding code to the code-base? Before I would try to weigh pros and cons, I wonder whether:
-
As AI becomes more useful as agentic systems development tools, what vulnerabilities might not be found and exploited by a human dev, but could by intelligent neural networks working for an adversary?
-
Will there be certain unforeseen economic attack vectors, such as mempools becoming congested, as seen in the past, that would make the basic operation and utility become an issue? (again, thinking how an adversarial strategist may want to game and disrupt current usage. * I read you covered that, but just wondered if that is not a serious trade-off for you.
-
Would covenants soft-fork increase overheads for running a node? Along with the whole core 30 changes. I guess I'm pretty decided that I won't be upgrading.
I know that the evidence indicates exactly this but would it be too wild to imagine that low-entropy keys would be perfect cover for both a clever exploit and a shadowy actor?
- Launch pool with cheapest input costs.
- Vertical growth of pool during time when many unsuspecting hobbyists are mining
- Pull rug
- Send out pleas as a cost percentage as cover
