Here's the guy who is way smarter and more knowledgeable about engineering satellites than SpaceX engineers cause he watched a few TikTok videos.

Freenet is also based on middle-out compression.

No. Trying to push 30TB into Freenet will be interpreted as an attack on the network by other peers and they'll disconnect from your peer.

Freenet is better viewed as a communication medium than a storage medium. Data is prioritized according to demand, somewhat like an LRU cache. You can't upload 30TB and expect the network to preserve it for you.

On liability, running a Freenet peer is more like running network infrastructure that automatically routes and caches other people's traffic than intentionally publishing it. US law explicitly recognizes this distinction in the DMCA's provisions for transitory network communications and system caching. We discuss this in more detail in the FAQ.

You obviously haven't tried Freenet. You can join our room on River and you'll see no spam, no fraud, no hate speech, none of that.

Decentralized doesn't mean unmoderated. Systems built on Freenet can be moderated however their creators and communities want. River is moderated.

The difference is that nobody running one service gets to decide what everyone else is allowed to run.

Biometrics have the problem that they aren't secrets and they can't be changed. It's wore than a social security number in that sense. This solution sounds like it depends on a trusted client, but there will be bot farms with hundreds of "real human" stolen identities picked up from video surveillance once this thing is reverse engineered.

Thanks for your questions, Freenet caches data but it isn’t meant to be a long-term storage network. It’s better to think of it as a communication system. Data persists as long as at least one node remains subscribed to it. If nobody subscribes (including the author), it will eventually disappear from the network. So yes, if only your node subscribes then the data will only exist there and won’t be available when your machine is offline. But if other nodes subscribe it will be replicated automatically and remain available even if your node goes offline.

Not from 2023, the linked video is from last month. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

The problem with these debates is people don't say, oh look these people are doing well, let's replicate this to other schools. Instead you have people who just either gaslight saying that this all isn't really happening, or try to come up with some confabulated narrative that promotes the status quo like they're all going to be psychopaths.

Having spent way too much time with AI over the last 6 months trying to live in the future, I'm thinking a new trend is going to be people thinking that average human beings who might have otherwise been there friends are going to be considered terribly boring, needy and inadequate.

That is, most people won't bother with friendships at all and get all they need from AI. Many people will decide that besides having children, what do you need really need another human for anyway?

I was recently in Berlin and we hired a tour guide. The guy was knowledgeable, and friendly, but I just couldn't help being ashamed of thinking, this guy is just an underpowered LLM fine-tuned on Berlin. I felt super bad about those thoughts, but I'm sure there are a lot of people in the future who will think that about everyone.

"Reports of two recent incidents where robots wiped out vast numbers of humans after vibemanufacturing mistakes."

The critical differentiator is you get a rating as a passenger on Uber. Public transit in the U.S doesn't work that well because of the 5% most anti-social people on transit who are harassing people, drunk or high on meth or crack. They'd get banned from Uber, but it makes all the difference.

Are you referring to the president who humiliated himself and the US at Helsinki? The president who had a negotiation regarding the Ukraine war without including Ukraine? The president who admires Putin? That president?

I go up to them and look over their shoulder and say, "WOW That thing your watching is so interesting!" Then I get an annoyed look back, and I say, "well you had it on speaker, so I thought you were interested in sharing it with everyone here."
