AI Thinking Is Boxed Within Matrix Data What appears novel is really recombination: reshuffling, interpolating, and extrapolating patterns that already exist in the training data. iambrainstorming.github.io/chapters/do-...

AI is useful, much like documentation. It makes personalized documentation easier by predicting the next words from previous ones. However, the hype around it is excessive. Even AI agrees that, because trained data agrees with it. Not the magic brain replacement it’s often sold as.

Ask the best AI (Department of magic) to fix this, and see the magic.

How many crypto users are here? Can I do a small fundraiser so the project can be sustained? I also need open-source developers to review my code and provide feedback.

You may dislike it, but Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero (public blockchains) are the hope. The price collapse of public blockchains is temporary and will rise again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwrm...

India and the United States now share many disturbing similarities: the rise of fascism, widespread disinformation, crackdowns on dissent and freepress, growing oligarchy, the spread of pseudoscience, economic slowdown, and mass layoffs.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

I know things are really bad right now. We can only thrive by helping each other as much as possible. I’m hopeful that I’ll gain enough supporters this month to sustain my work.

You’re not wrong for wanting this to survive. You’re wrong only if you pretend money doesn’t matter. #SixMonthRunWay

We can’t use a single token for journalism, open source, and other domains. Each domain requires separation. We also need to distribute tokens to the right stakeholders, so that a 51% attack becomes difficult. Just because Campbell’s Law hunts doesn’t mean a reputation system will not be built.

Airdrop or Token sale.. Why not airdrop first? If you airdrop before establishing value through a sale, recipients have no price reference and may immediately dump tokens, creating downward pressure with no buying support.

Do we need to export our food when 233.9 million people in India are experiencing hunger? Imports may create dependency on foreign countries for our basic needs. Food security is one of the most important things India must not compromise on.

Crypto community was the main reason he won. Community failed to learn basic economics. They failed to realize that they can’t win with Trump and Melania shitcoins. When shitcoins dumped, they dragged down utility tokens too—the ones actually adding value. bsky.app/profile/real...

iambrainstorming.github.io/chapters/blo... Does Crypto Create Debt? Cryptocurrencies are not banks that issue loans by creating money. A token does not promise repayment or yield the way debt does. If supply increases, existing holders experience dilution through inflation.

Crypto is a funny place. With just 7,000 users, a project can reach a $20 million market cap. All we really need is a small group of authentic users at the table to get things started.

Enough theory—it's time to test the conviction voting idea with real users. Real feedback is the only path to meaningful improvement. In hindsight, using Solidity could have let me test this 2–3 years earlier.

If we want to end speculation at the root, we have to stop DEX trading and route all trades through a rational DEX when someone wants to sell.

Story from the book Bullshit Jobs about how David Graeber learnt a lesson regarding the world of work.

Dear @jillbarshay.bsky.social, @hechingerreport.org, Billions of economically unnecessary #bullshitjobs are wasting most of our time, resources, energy and fossil fuels. Causing global warming, pandemics and inflation. The employment cult is killing us and our planet.

We can not continue to allow central banks, insane politicians and insane "economists" to force the whole world into debt, poverty and to fight over money via billions of #bullshitjobs and data centers full of financial nonsense. Protect your children.

We lost the remote-work and “bullshit jobs” protest community after the Twitter takeover. We need to rebuild it on Bluesky.

We went from 80% remote work in the pandemic to 11% today. Capitalism wasted no time pulling people back—because it runs on control, wage slavery, and surveillance. www.roberthalf.com/us/en/insigh...

I’m building a non-tradable reputation token now. Then I’ll move on to the DEX. 15-30 days. iambrainstorming.github.io/chapters/blo...

Is typing all AI-generated code manually a good idea?

What Should Be Taught in College Curriculum: Python or Rust? Python lets them think in terms of problems, not memory models, lifetimes, or thread safety. Rust Fits Where Failure Is Expensive #EduSky #Programming #Rustlang iambrainstorming.github.io/chapters/edu...

bsky.app/profile/bbel... Python is here to stay across multiple domains because it is easier to learn and write than Rust; however, many Python APIs will be implemented in Rust.

The Python ecosystem's performance layer is increasingly written in #Rust. 🦀 And the developers who understand both sides of that boundary are becoming invaluable.

Or put differently, the stock market IS the economy...

so funny this immediately happens when software companies can’t pretend that ai was anything more than money moving between 10 different companies over and over and doesn’t lead to any real growth

Reality keeps asserting itself whether we’re ready or not. We are watching sea urchins collapse across oceans, another reminder that Earth systems don’t care about our attention, consensus, or permission. A dramatic rethink of security has never been clearer. gizmodo.com/the-sea-urch...

It is unfortunate that certain upper-caste groups are protesting, and that the Supreme Court has issued a stay on the order.

Consumption of fruits or fruit products (such as raw date palm juice) contaminated with urine or saliva from infected fruit bats was the most likely source of infection. www.who.int/news-room/fa...

Two cases of the deadly Nipah virus in India have prompted authorities in Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia to step up airport screening in an effort to prevent the infection from spreading.

“The majority of Americans are open to living car-free even after decades of car-centric planning, a new survey finds…A stunning 18% of car-owning U.S. residents indicated that they were ‘strongly interested’ in living car-free, and another 40% said that they were ‘open’ to it.” @usa.streetsblog.org

Do cities in the U.K. (or rather their municipal authorities/councils) have the legal powers & financial resources to bring in the policies needed?
