Sooo, miners aren't mining the bip110 fork because it costs too much relative to potential rewards. The big brain solution, new proof of work algorithm that requires a capex for new asics in addition to the opex of electricity. The only viable solutions are RandomX, the Monero CPU bound algorithm, or a hard coded sha256 difficulty drop and crossing your fingers people don't fire up a ton of outdated Bitcoin miners and 51% attack you. The fact that they aren't seriously considering the fact that buying new asics is a barrier doesn't look good at all.

Only Luke knows the mapping, verified he didn't change it after the fact by a file hash. So, who is going to point hash at testnet4 to make sure he doesn't rig it by mining the block himself? I bet the block is going land REAL close to that clock time. View quoted note →

The internet gives us a strange window into other people's internal state. Kinda crazy to watch other people develop an obsession that takes them across the line to delusion or mental illness in real time. Terrifying because I'm prone to obsessive behavior and it has definitely happened to me before. Mental illness is often a temporary state. People can and do get better from obsession driven bouts of mental illness. As someone who has experience with this, regular contact with people who treat you like a human being is critical to the path back. We, myself included, should keep that in mind when we run into people who are having a hard time. There is plenty of reason for their struggles in the Bitcoin space lately.

Remember when I called Luke a liar for saying it was a soft fork and I got attacked by supporters who told me I didn't understand Bitcoin? I remember.

Weeks of GPU time to enumerate the wallets ahead of time. We know the wallets were enumerated in advance because the thefts happened in chunks. Never let a good story ruin your knowledge of facts. Maybe it was an older model, maybe a manual hack or an inside job. It is extremely unlikely it was k3. View quoted note →

I don't always use my mind for evil. This same math can be used for good. I use Kepen for those adulting chores with long intervals that are easy to forget. Things like fridge coil cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, HVAC filters. Rather than set the to exact monthly or quarterly intervals, I used prime numbers of days for each interval. This way it reduces the odds of multiple of them coming due all at once compared to if I had done 30/90/180 days. None of them require precision enough that 1 day early or 3 days late matters so this causes no problems with maintenance but makes my life easier. View quoted note →

For years my retired neighbors, who annoy the shit out of me with typical boomer HOA type shit, have varied the day of the week they mow. Sometimes even from week to week. They finally settled into a rhythm and each mow on the same day of the week each week. Riding around on my mower bored out of my mind I finally figured it out. They were trying to get the most days where their own lawn looked nicest. The equilibrium gives everyone 2 days. So I start thinking, I could switch days and it would ruin the whole balance. How petty can I be you ask? How bored do I get mowing you ask? 11 is pairwise coprime to 7, the interval they mow on. The least common multiple is 77. So around 2.5 months before I land back in their weekly mow rotation. Within the bounds of not mowing more often but also not letting it get so tall it becomes a big pain in the ass, I'm pretty sure 11 days is the maximally annoying interval.

Nature prefers the truth. Every time you deny the truth you risk painful even permanent consequences when reality happens anyway. If you are sure you are right, absolutely 100% certain, and everyone went the other way, why? To believe the laws of the universe were on your side and you still failed requires a moments self reflection. You could just blame everyone else for being too dumb or evil. You could question your belief about which side was really right. You could question your own approach to arguing your position. Only 2 of these offer any opportunity for personal growth.

TIFI: Many AIs make all bugs shallow.

Remember when AI promised it would eliminate all the dev jobs? Now it turns out we need 4x as many devs just doing code security reviews full time.
