I think the most interesting thing about making AI to serve human interests is that ultimately the system of AI (foundation model + infrastructure + energy) should resemble a human…

Well done, this is a really cool approach to leveraging ChatGPT. Messing around with it locally now

I think this article is particularly relevant after SVB. Also the large interest rate differential on most American checking accounts vs FFR.

Buffer of batteries and generator backup

To encode NOT something takes one more bit than encoding something.

Zero real rate of return. If bonds have a negative real rate of return and stocks have a RISK-ADJUSTED negative real rate of return, then gold or more generally commodities are a b…

Judging by the lack of a market reaction this morning, this is mostly immaterial.

Take this line of reasoning further and you reveal the problem with crypto to crypto taxation.

BTC Ledger =/= BTC consensus. If the protocol can be made pure proof of stake while maintaining the same availability and security guarantees this is no longer an issue. However, t…

Unfortunately, aerospace isn't an industry where you can say "fuck it, ship it"

In many of these discussions why do we always refer to government as an abstract "they", why is it never "we or us". I think we've lost a connection between services provided by go…

We could easily solve this BTC problem by hard forking to a pure proof of stake consensus protocol for BTC. Same security and decentralization guarantees. No environmental harm, an…

Fork BTC to Pure Proof of Stake consensus. Balances mapped 1:1. No Environmental problems, no scalability problems, no latency problems. It's not a question of if this fork happens…

One wonders if it is some fundamental assumption that limits further understanding of the Universe. Is it our intuitive relationship with numbers, time, and physical space that is …

Hard fork to pure proof of stake, problems solved. However, against Miners' best interests

underwriting cap and dischargeable in bankruptcy would do it

Have you considered the possibility of a crash up in asset prices (currency devaluation, negative interest rates). Cash wouldn't be so good in that scenario. I feel similarly about…

It's more likely to be a crash up than a crash down. Interpret that as you like.

TIPs adjusted by cpi determined by gov. Better off holding real assets. For retail, a large mortgage is a fantastic bet on inflation. For the more risk-loving, long gamma on any ve…

BTC fork using Algorand consensus. Same bitcoin, same LEDGER, but the consensus technology is vastly superior. Why willfully ignore 10 years of advances in cryptography and distrib…

Hardfork BTC to use Algorand consensus. Put stablecoins on the same chain. See the magic happen.

A hardfork to algorand consensus would solve this
