saw your talk & followed — i was doing flips in texas and have stopped altogether for 3 years now. interested in figuring out how all this unfolds and how to maximize opportunity going forward. imo, RE has not made sense for some years now, but I tend toward the pessimistic side, so keeping an open mind!
@jack which open source AI project(s) do you refer to in your interview with @LynAlden in Oslo? great interview! i even pulled my kid in to watch the part about how algorithms may determine free will. raising skeptics here 🙂 thanks
i’m one of these…. used to do web development but was distracted the last years almost to the point of semi-retirement !! but, the world needs help. I’m struggling to find a place to contribute to bitcoin in some small way. I know it will come, if I have anything it’s patience :D
Are we under attack from a bolshevik-style takeover? The anti-freedom movement seems so pernicious. Here’s a passage that really resonated from Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago on the invisible hand that works constantly against us:
“This was a grandiose silent game of solitaire, whose rules were totally incomprehensible to its contemporaries, and whose outlines we can appreciate only now. Someone's far-seeing mind, someone's neat hands, planned it all, without letting one wasted minute go by. They picked up a card which had spent three years in one pile and softly placed it on another pile.”
…
“Patience, overwhelming patience, was the trait of the person playing out the solitaire.”
will be interesting to watch.. funny, just another form of yield repression, so bond holders continue to lose anyway… but they have their blankie to snuggle for now.
