This is the root of the problem. Reverence and social deference for "faith". On other words: "Belief without evidence"

Everyone alive since the Pandemic and subsequent Disinformation Wars knows that "faith" is a toxic and stupid idea which is incompatible with modern global civilization.

Religion needs to be viewed with great suspicion. Science and the people who discovered real things about the world need to occupy that place of reverence.

(LLMs) a technology LeCun has repeatedly called "a dead end when it comes to superintelligence."

He keeps saying that but AFAICT the block diagram for his JEPA solution is the same thing just predicting next floating latent space token instead of discrete word-token. Which is very powerful and cool but I mean its not like he is getting rid of backprop or convolution or even attention really. He should stop attacking his older work and just be a rock star.

You could say by llama4 the genAI division had lost its legs. But the Metaverse division was way ahead of them...

I don't want people all over the world connecting to my bedroom. If I wanna host a website I pay an extra $8/mo for VPS

One word drives darknet markets: Drugs That is enough of a usecase

I voted against Biden in the Primary. But as POTUS he surrounded himself with competent people AND LISTENED TO THEM.

Yes he and they made sime bad choices (Afghanistan withdrawal, tepid Ukraine support) but not strategic damage and coupled with some very good decisions (block China access to GPUs, energy policy)

If Dems sweep the Midterms this has a high chance of happening.

REMEMBER: ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES

Rewrite everything in Haskell

Unless you use a crypto that actually encrypts the blockchain in which case no mixing needed.

Pedantic: Most theories posit that DM interacts weakly with the EM field.

But we do not yet know

(IIUC, there is a finite nonzero coupling constant between *any* two QM fields)

Only stupid people launder money with Bitcoin. SHUM!

OFC this actually exists: magic Bean Coin. It was an inflationary coin (holding coins generated more coins). I met one of the developers a few years ago. He was a really smart thoughtful principled guy. Just chose a really weird goal to throw himself into and not much formal economics education (but lots of "alternative economics"). I just checked first time in a decade, the 24 hour volume was like six bucks and the project webpage is gone

Of course the primary Gold Bug thesis is that Gold does in fact skyrocket up precisely when all other asset classes are discovered to be in a bubble

... and in Texas, you are getting it very hot in the summer and suddenly freezing cold in the winter and with insufficient electricity grid and rapidly diminishing water resources and increasing political strain with your biggest trading partner and a rising culture that is proudly pro-faith and anti-science

Jesus fuck you could not pay me to move there

Think about it for a few more seconds with your engineering hat on. The use case Bitcoin is designed for is peer-to-peer electronic cash. Internet money transfers, with no central authority.

That has two parts:

1. Internet money transfer
2. No central authority

Number 1 has been a solved problem for over a decade now. Between credit cards, ApplePay/Venmo/PayPal/CashApp/etc etc, cash transfer over the internet is virtually instantaneous and acceptably small cost.

Number 2 is of absolutely no interest to governments. They want a central payments authority, the ability to sanction, reverse, etc etc.

Crypto is an attempt to solve a usecase that governments do not have
