"If the cryptography breaks, there is no reason to use a blockchain. You can go home." @YuviLightman at QDay. Google now estimates 1,200 logical qubits to break Bitcoin keys. Standards bodies set their first deadlines for 2028.
If Digital ID is so safe and secure, why would MPs and members of the Royal Family need exemptions?
When I was 14, social media was my escape hatch from mediocrity. I did not relate to anyone at school. Online, I found people on the other side of the world who thought the way I did. That changed my life. It is how I ended up working with one of Silicon Valley’s most respected investors and some of the smartest engineers in the world. It is how I started a podcast and got into rooms school would never have opened for me. The UK wants to close that door for every weird, ambitious, hyper online 14-year-old. They say it is “for safety”. But there is a much greater danger in being trapped inside schools, consuming state-mandated narratives, and waiting for permission from people whose entire worldview is obedience. The internet lets kids escape the factory before the factory stamps them into shape. It lets them find mentors, employers, collaborators, friends, customers, and ideas no school would ever give them. It lets them discover that the classroom is not the world, and the adults around them are not the ceiling. A social media ban for under-16s protects the enforcement regime, not the child. Age verification is KYC with a child-safety sticker on it. First they ask if you are old enough. Then they ask who you are. Then the anonymous internet is gone. The excuse is children. The prize is obedience. Fight back, Britain.
Not a free country.
We're very grateful that OpenAI has provided our teams with assistance to protect Zcash users from these nasty bugs as well. (We also have no new issues to report!)
Thanks, Anthropic, for helping protect Zcash users. At Shielded Labs’s request, they ran a security audit of Zcash with Mythos. It did not find any more serious bugs in the Zcash protocol. Shielded Labs and others are continuing security hardening work. Stay tuned for updates.
Fair enough. I was using your post (possibly as a straw man) to respond to everyone in the mentions who believes it’s to be a rote process that scientists discovered and exclusively follow. But it doesn’t seem novel enough to me to have its own moniker. It’s what we do a hundred times a day in a hundred contexts, naturally. Popper was unpopular amongst academics because he repeatedly knocked them off their pedestal and pointed out that the plebs and common sense after all. The anti-Malcolm Gladwell, if you will. One funny quip of his: “As a rule, I begin my lectures on the Scientific Method by telling my students that scientific method does not exist. I add that I ought to know, having been, for a time at least, the one and only professor of this non-existent subject within the British Commonwealth.”
Science is not a process, a credential, or an institution. It is the unflinching pursuit of truth, carried out by the few, co-opted by the many.
@FutureJurvetson @seanboisselle True, not blind guesses - that’s what differentiates human creativity from AIs (to date) and from evolution. Humans can cut through the search space and make broad leaps, and nobody knows how. Mysterious creativity… if we can create the algorithm for that, then we have AGI.
@_Nathan_Boyle_ @FutureJurvetson What algorithm? “Guess and test?”
@seanboisselle @FutureJurvetson Right, it’s basically “guess and test.”
@HostOfMeta Thanks for this, much to absorb. Schopenhauer, Emerson, Hesse may be to your liking as it’s hard to classify them as purely Western philosophers, they were more holistic. But the best philosophy is a personal one, embodied, as you said, and it seems that you have that.
The only truly wasted time is time spent wishing you were somewhere else.
There is no such thing as a scientific “method” in the sense of a reliable algorithm or repeatable process. We’re taught in grade school that a scientist tabulates observations, then induces a theory from those observations, and then tests them to get to the truth. But observations are themselves mini-theories (you never observe anything directly), induction from observations can’t give you novel theories (black swan problem), and testing can only eliminate competing theories, not prove them (error correction). All you’re left with is creative guesswork and then eliminating the bad guesses to get you closer to the truth, but with no finality. Not much of a process or method. “Scientists” have no special method or process that they employ. They’re doing what all of us do all day long to navigate the world, hopefully with more rigor and dedication, but it’s the exact same process at its core. What made the scientific revolution possible was a philosophical shift in which parts of western society created social conventions around rigorous truth seeking rather than continuing to justify the beliefs of the ancients. See Deutsch’s “The Beginning of Infinity” and Karl Popper’s writing, “On the Non-Existence of Scientific Method."
The most negative sign on California's long term prospects so far was the odd ballot swing in LA
The richest guy on Earth SHOULD be the guy making cutting edge cars and rockets instead of dudes who sell purses and perfumes or dudes who run investment firms or dudes who made Facebook.
@JohnDVillarreal @UCBerkeley Don’t sweat it, most degrees are fake and most schooling is fake (including my Econ degree). The important part is continuing to self-educate, out of genuine curiosity.
“Political Science” is a fake degree - just call it “Politicking.”
A professor of political science thinks Musk’s net worth is just sitting in a bank, as opposed to be equity in a company and being reinvested. Deeply embarassing.
Can’t put the genie back in the GPU.
