Last Notes npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Yes we must absolutely separate art from the artist but, crucially, we must not listen to artists. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan But paradoxically also: artists resent their benefactors and the system that sustains them, so they create art that is designed to subvert that system. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Wtf 😬 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I don’t necessarily disagree. Lyn didn’t say exactly what Napier thinks govt would do so I’m guessing what I think is the most common claim: they co-opt a few entities that control a large (and growing) portion of the UTXO set and either outright seize it, or do something else like a forced fork onto “gov chain”. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan *don’t see npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan ETFs/Coinbase and Microstrategy at the present time. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan What precisely is it about improved coordination that negates the financial repression tools which Napier claims will destroy Bitcoin? npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan The solution is that knots create a version of Bitcoin that does everything except financial transactions. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan It’s not quite that stories are dangerous; stories are powerful and often useful. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan It’s really amazing. The interesting thing to me is that I get it now more than ever— even though I run shorter distances and with less intensity than I used to. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan When I go for a jog these days, I’ve noticed a large amount of increased insight and clarity of thought in recent years. Feels like my IQ goes up a full 5 points. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Maybe I’m dumb! npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I don’t mind well targeted ads for businesses that I want to support. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Ok, this was funny. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I think so. I would make two bets about where we’ll be in 10 years and am trying to figure out the implications: npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Bitcoin == sats in UTXOs npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan It’s never the countries you expect. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan - I’m quite angry about men competing in women’s sport worldwide npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Hehehe npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Apps crash must less these days now that most are written in Swift and Kotlin. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Once upon a time in Hollywood npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan The world will get better with Bitcoiners continuing to do their thing in various ways despite your black pilling. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan The original agorists of the 1970s would be very psyched to know that people of 2025 use open-source apps that natively handle self-sovereign digital money. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Libertarian on Earth npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Everyone is catching up on their podcasts today and smash buying. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Antoine addressed this at btc++. Not sure if it was recorded but I’ll try to dig it up. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Centralized systems do seem to provide a variety of extra ways to monetize the product. I think Microsoft struggled to monetize Skype when it was a p2p architecture and moved to a more centralized architecture at least partially for that reason. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan If your contention is that because the bulk of this money goes to specific areas of the university, the letter should say it’s only those labs that should adopt the specified policies (and fix the overly broad mask thing), then I can only conclude you’re not debating in good faith and we’re done here. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Nobody is demanding them to improve that, though adhering to the requests for more balanced hiring practices will no doubt improve the quality of their humanities courses. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Specifically, what? npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Literally just set this up last week. It’s a PITA. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Is anyone building a home server Nostr bridge that integrates with a local LLM to filter the feed? npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Nah. Don’t touch it till we have functional client side AI SDKs from Google and Apple in the next year or two. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan AirTags but with Nostr. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I don’t think they’re perfect, far from it. But “Trump is cognitively incapable” and “Elon spends all day on Twitter” are lazy, unserious criticisms that deserve a response in kind, sorry. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan The accusations of a coup seem like a form of pareidolia to me. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan He looks old as shit? He’s almost 80! npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan There is a non-trivial risk that any bitcoin that you obtain today will be worth meaningfully less 24hrs later. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Nostr clients need work. SMDH npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Yes, this is virtually identical to Carvalho’s proposal, except I believe better mainly due to: npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan No decimals! Just bits (known as sats today) and any other ‘counting units’ are up to the users to figure out themselves (like ‘lakh” in India). npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Here’s my new BIP: npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan This is all part of the new golden age of information, where the bad ideas get to live out in the open too. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I am glad that both the WEF and BlueSky exist. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan <responds with Leopards Eating People's Faces Party meme> npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Accurate. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Agreed, they have plenty of history there. I suspect the board room meetings would be an excruciating listen. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Less anxiety inducing: npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Absolute banger episode with @npub128t…fadp npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Interesting point made in this podcast that we’re suffering from a wholesale exile of lateral thinkers in influential positions. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Where we differ is that I believe the evidence shows that high cholesterol *isn’t* necessary or sufficient because it is not causal. It is simply often present where there is CVD, but what’s missed (per the charts above) is that it is very often present *without* any risk of CVD. (And maybe Fibrinogen levels point to the real causal factor — we don’t know) npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan And what causes the accumulation of cholesterol? npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan There is no good evidence that lowering cholesterol is an improvement to one’s health. In fact, the opposite may be true. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I wonder if the cost to build support for this, deal with ongoing maintenance and reporting costs, plus paying the likely fines will be worth it for them all, or could we see some exiting the EU? npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan First 45 minutes of Wall-E are cinematic perfection.
