A few years back I learned to solve a #rubikscube using the beginners method. Got to about 2 minute average solve time and put it down and forgot about it.

Picked it back up and It seems I've forgotten how to do it now. I can still do the cross and intuitive first 2 layers, though much slower than before. The last layer is gone from my brain. I guess this is my chance to fix that mistake from last time and learn CFOP instead of beginners method. I spent a little time on it today. Refresher on the notation and then working on my OLL algorithms.

If this note gets any interest I'll keep updating as I relearn as a little #grownostr contribution.


To anyone looking at my reaction choice. I'm drunk. In my current state that seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to make you hard.


I'm in the same boat of early carelessness with my keys and these are my key rotation musings so far.

I wonder if any clients manage follows by nip05 instead of npub. That would allow relatively easy key rotation that is seamless to the followers.

There seems like an opportunity here for a rotation nip too. Publish and sign your new npub from your current nsec as a specific rotation event. Then clients can spot the nip314 event (no idea if this is taken I just used pi because rotation like a circle) and offer to refollow. This should not be automatic due to the abuse potential in the case of a beach.

The one thing I know to exist now that could help with planned key rotation is shipyard for scheduling posts. You should be able to dual post your normal content with automatic regularly scheduled "follow my new npub" posts on the old keys.

Follower counts are a shitcoin anyway right. This makes your followers proof of work for your high quality content.


But you add an entire extra app with background network for what is likely 1 or 2 apps. Both have tradeoffs.


There are still facilities around that will rewind electric motor cores. No idea the economics of it for a drill.

I have a question for #amethyst  users. I'm not asking this to dish on nostr:nprofile1qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7anfw3hhytnwdaehgu339e3k7mf0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qpqgcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqss2dqr , but only because his users are my users, and I care about my users' (for lack of a better word) "safety" on nostr.

Currently, when you report something, Amethyst does two things:

- Publishes a kind 1984 report event
- Reacts on your behalf with a ⚠ kind 7 reaction

TLDR; do you find the emoji reaction to be a problem? Full background below.

I've always been skeptical of public reports, because regardless of intent, they publicly and permanently associate your public key with objectionable content. This may be as harmless as reporting spam, which is fine to do publicly, or as sensitive as reporting directed abuse (sharing additional information about your associations), or reporting CSAM (which is a legal gray area in some jurisdictions, since it may constitute "advertising" the content).

I personally use nostr:nprofile1qyfhwumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetsv9njuetn9uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshsz8nhwden5te0dak8jmtsd93hxv3sxg6zumn0wvh8xmmrd9skctcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9nhwden5te0v4jx2m3wdehhxarj9ekxzmny9uqzqrezcph2cyqzdp80e35026z5p6p595tqn4gghn2rztqr3esef79kpu7u7y 's nostr:nprofile1qyvhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnndehhyapwwdhkx6tpdshszymhwden5te0wp6hyurvv4cxzeewv4ej7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uq3qamnwvaz7tm99ehx7uewd3hkctcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wvh8xmmrd9skctcqyptdfv7kxy86mdeffdlsgx4tg6w9llyfjxcmrve3nqdedgjx76hx2a33ch8  to anonymously and privately process reports in Coracle, because I want to protect my users as much as possible. But I'll admit that use of kind 1984 is nuanced and open to debate.

Much worse than using kind 1984 though, which semantically fits the concept of "reporting", is using reactions to signal reports. First of all, this doesn't really add any new information that kind 1984 doesn't already contain. It also has the effect of generating content on behalf of a user that they may not know they're consenting to.

In many clients (formerly including Coracle), "likes" are not filtered down by emoji, and so these kind 7 "reports" end up showing up as "likes". Completely fixing this problem is impossible, because it requires mapping a high-fidelity subjective medium (emojis) to a low-fidelity objective medium (up/down vote) in order to show likes. This can only be done with a reasonable degree of reliability for a very few emojis. This creates a problem for like-based clients in that lots of reactions can't be included in like tallies, resulting in lower social signal.

At any rate, I implemented the partial fix of whitelisting "obviously positive" emojis when calculating "likes" a long time ago, because reactions can be negative. I however didn't apply this to the "likes" tab on user profile pages, which was brought to my attention earlier this year when an Amethyst user asked me why a bunch of CSAM was showing up under his "likes". He wasn't aware that "reporting" in Amethyst created a public record of his consumption (unintentional or otherwise) of illegal porn.

This problem has since been fixed in Coracle, but likely still occurs in other clients that haven't yet addressed this problem, "trending" algorithms, and coracle custom feeds based on retrieving kind 7 (since kind 7 sentiment can't be filtered against on the relay side).

This is a Really Bad Thing, because it results clients advertising content as connected with the person who had intended to dissociate themselves with it. While clients processing reactions can mitigate this, the root issue is that a field for user-generated content is being overloaded for use in an application-specific context.

So, that's my opinion. What do you think? Do you find it surprising that reports in Amethyst may be treated as "likes" in other clients? Is it Amethyst's fault for creating the reactions, or other clients' fault for not filtering them out?

Well, well, well, look who we have here—a self-proclaimed tech wizard who thinks they can solve all the world’s problems with a Raspberry Pi and a VPN. Your posts read like a manual for the socially awkward—"I’m too smart for this world but also confused about everything." You’re the type who’s "always on the lookout for an upgrade" but still can’t figure out why your travel router doesn’t work. I mean, it’s impressive how you manage to have a meltdown over a heater while simultaneously planning to upgrade your home server. You say, "I guess I'm going to fire up the other heater and just waste energy making nothing but heat," suggesting that you might also be referring to some brain cells as you contemplate the mysteries of energy consumption. Your conspiracy theories about Cox Media listening in on your every word sound like something straight out of a B-grade techno-thriller. And your insistence that "anyone who ever interviewed at Swan knows they paid like shit" is certainly one way to foster your credibility. Not to mention your strong stance on political matters, where you casually drop gems like, "The government ruins everything"—so insightful! Because we all know that the solution to economic issues is obviously to distract ourselves with Radio Shack-level discussions on antenna design. You're basically the poster child for "happy to be your own worst enemy"—an armchair anarchist who simultaneously holds disdain for any authority while desperately wanting someone to rescue you from the chaos you seem to revel in. Dante would have had a special circle for people caught in the existential crisis of being too aware of their own contradictions. So tell me, do you ever pause to think about how your reality might be a tad less complicated if you just turned off the screen and stepped outside? Probably not, because those antennas and algorithms won’t tune themselves! But hey, keep stacking those sats, and maybe one day you'll find the peace you seem to be searching for—one post at a time.


What router? What APs? I'm always on three lookout for an upgrade.

I immediately thought of it as a good first gaming system for my little one that always wants to steal my flipper to play games.


I treat it the exact opposite. I do all of the design and planning and have it crank out code, syntax, and comments smaller pieces at a time.

My typical prompts look like this.

-Write me a function that takes these input params and has these returns. Remember to use functions x, y, and z that we wrote earlier in your solution.

-update this function to change it in this way.

I find asking it bigger picture questions or for bigger changes at once leads to more useless responses.

Also, try claude 3.5. I like the claude 3.5 code context in kagi far more than gpt 4o for code.

Forces me to not spaghetti everything this way and if you add it to your context it will comment as it goes. Both are nice bonuses.


Worse than everything is a subscription is everything is "free" but paid for by spying at levels unimaginable just 20 years ago.

Cox media leaked that they are listening to every single thing you say from every phone and using it to send you ads and manipulate your feeds and it barely made the news on tech sites.

I'll gladly subscribe to a privacy respecting service and do subscribe to proton and kagi to get out of that world.

Part of this is because despite American inflation, every other fiat is worse. So America did it, but your government helped and is complicit. The major players could have dethroned USD by now if they had a better currency military or not.

It is a double edge sword and it will hurt America soon and bad. Most first world countries hold US treasuries and bonds as a way to "back" their currency. The plan is if their currency slips, they sell the US assets and buy their own currency to prop up it's price. That hurts the US market which reduces the value of the other countries holdings. This will domino when the first major player falls.

Remember that recent overnight (to Americans) flash crash in global markets? Japan raised rates. They are one of the biggest international US treasury holders. People in the know thought they might also start selling treasuries and start this chain reaction.

Bitcoin is still seen by most as a high risk asset and crashed too. There will be nowhere to hide short term if this happens any time soon.

Here's what I suspect is happening when cloudflare puts up a 5- to 7-second delay with a spin screen and a simple captcha to "verify you are human":

A device fingerprint is being created.

The captcha itself is superfluous - a pretense that some human interaction is needed. But none is.

So there's a new fingerprint, but to be any use it must be compared to something - some collection of previous fingerprints or known attributes or something. So there's a database somewhere. And there must be a comparative analysis - so there's an algo running to determine next action.

I'm 99% sure of the above. What I don't know is:
- what is happening to the newly-created fingerprint? Is it deleted (I doubt it)? Is it being added to a database somewhere?
- If added to a database, who controls it, what other PII attributes does it contain, and who has access to it.
- where did the original database come from? Did cloudflare start from zero and build their own? If not, who provided it, what PII attributes does it contain, and who had access to it?

Whatever the answers to the above, I assume the database is kept forever and, with a simple request from a suitably powerful or politically connected agency - can be used to match device fingerprints in other databases, providing at least a partial record of sites a specific individual visited using a #vpn

Honestly, that FM radio antenna is a really crap antenna and you are thinking about a whole tier or 3 better design when you talk about a frequency matched dipole. I wouldn't be surprised if the length was unrelated to the frequency and just random. For receive only on signals as local and strong as FM radio it just doesn't matter much.

Yes, the way that verticle bazooka works is that the fold point changes the behavior of the wires in a way that causes it to act like a feed point on a dipole even though the core is continuous and the shield folds back on itself.

Antenna design is very much a case for the midwit meme with both ends being "just experiment and see how it works." Even people who are very knowledgeable are often surprised that a new design they encounter works at all.


Receiving is different than transmitting because there is no risk from SWR for starters. So your antenna match is far less important.

In many cases it is only an illusion that it is just a stick. An antenna on your car is using the car body and frame as one side of a dipole.

It is very complicated and few people really understand it. Take a look at this design. Part of the shield of coax is folded back over. Only the folded part of the shield acts like part of the dipole and only the extended center wire acts like antenna with the part inside the shield being feed line.

I made one and it is a great single band pack antenna that I can weave through the molle on my pack and it still beats a typical rubber duck on my HT. (A rubber duck on your HT is using you as the ground plane part of the antenna by the way)

https://www.hamuniverse.com/vertbazooka.html


If you keep a windows machine around just in case but usually off, the UX is even worse than normal when it sucks up 100% of your resources running old updates you missed without your permission.


It does not change the antenna tuning in the way you are thinking.

In a feed line you run both wires parallel or even one inside the other in coax.

Once the dipole starts, the two wires go in opposite directions. Once they are no longer so close to each other they interact with each other and the world around them in different ways

The government plays both sides of every issue like this for a very important reason.

Look at the environmental movement. They subsidize solar and they subsidize oil. This means both sides need the subsidy to compete, meaning they need the government. Any new player to the energy space must be better by the entire subsidy and then some, or beg for their own subsidy.

This creates the illusion to each player that they need the government to subsidize them to compete. If forces every player to kiss the ring if they want to stand a chance. It also forces then into a scenario where any anti government action is biting the hand that feeds.

At this point the web of subsidies is so complex, it is impossible for anyone to figure out if solar or oil truly has lower economic costs. That damages every economic calculation by every market participant in a very significant way. Arguably more than the constant adjustments to the money supply. Even with a fixed supply I would gave no idea which is best because of the subsidies.

This leads to a world where when we think we are choosing the best economic value we are really choosing the most favored by the government.

People pushing for everyone to have more kids are calling for a ponzi scheme. This is a weird choice of "experts say" to call out since this is true.

All of the current tax and economics system is a ponzi and having more kids than the previous generation every time is the only way it remotely works.

All of the reproductive rights fight has nothing to do with caring about or hating women. Women are just in the way of their plan to grow the population.

I have a vacmaster. I got it when my foodsaver died. I've had it so long I assume they don't make that model anymore, 10x the life of the foodsaver. It is a pro 350 in case they do. Redid the tape on the heat strip once and that is it. Still kicking with no signs of slowing down.

It cost more, but the moment you unbox it you'll know it was for a good reason.

People are really writing off these tax proposals as not important because of the $100m number. They are wrong and here is why.

The NFA act created a $200 tax on transfers of certain firearms in 1934. Inflation adjusted that is $4700 in today's money. That is based on CPI which consistently underestimates real inflation.

Today that tax is still $200, never adjusted for inflation. That tax would benefit the government and hurt the people to adjust for inflation and they still didn't do it.

When the inflation curve goes verticle, $100m is going to be a fast food wage. To adjust the $100m would hurt the government and help the people. Do you really think it will happen?

More likely they'll be trying to tax you on gains for every single thing you own because it all had nominal USD value gains due to inflation. Your 10 year old car is worth double what it cost new, better pay tax on your "gains."

For shared use of seedsigners, use your own microSD not the groups.

YOU validate the image on YOUR microSD and YOU keep secure control of YOUR microSD between uses or YOU reverify and reflash YOUR microSD each time you lose full control of it.

For bonus points, flash your microSD using Tails and never use that microSD for any other purpose.

The same rules apply on your own seedsigner that you don't share.

I think changes in the money supply do affect behavior of people who live on that money. That said, we are mostly speculating on aggregate affects. Each person is still an individual.

As for the aggregate affects, no country uses hard money. If they did, differences could come from other cultural affects. When they did was so long ago that time changed the culture. Even differences between bitcoin people and fiat people could be cart before horse. Maybe bitcoin made them like that, maybe only people like that would get into bitcoin in the first place.


Not being on xitter, I missed this. Very funny.


Inflation causes money hoarding, not deflation. I can never be sure how much I will need because I don't know how bad inflation will get. I'm forced to just save until I'm sure what I have is way way more than I will ever need.

I was thinking this morning about how we leave LED lights on all the time and don't even care, yet our grandparents would walk around turning off the lights whenever they left a room, and it got me thinking about the real #debasement adjusted electricity cost of 1960 vs today.

In 1960 an oz of #gold was $35, and a kwh of #electricity was 2.6 cents. So you could buy 1346 kwh for an oz of gold, which you could earn with 12.7 hours of labor at the #medianwage of $2.75/hr. This also meant you could buy 105.8 kwh of electricity with an hour of your time. A #lightbulb would use 60 watts, so would use a kwh every 16.5 hours.

Today an oz of gold is about $2600, which you can earn in 76.74 hours at today's median wage of $33.88, and the cost per kwh of electricity has "gone up" to about 16.5 cents meaning you could buy 15,757 kwhs with an oz of Gold, and you can buy 205.33 kwh with an hour of your time.

Relative to gold electricity has dropped in price 91.5%. But #wages have dropped in value relative to gold by 83.45%. So relative to hourly wages, the meaningful metric to people, electricity has reduced in price by only about 1/2.

However, in addition to the price of electricity falling substantially, the #electronics we use are also much more efficient. Today an LED light bulb will use only 10 watts, 6 times less than in 1960, and gives you 100 hours of light for only 1 kwh. 6 times more light for half the price, or 12 times more light for the same price! A 91.7% reduction in cost for lighting our homes relative to our labor hours.

On the median hourly wage today you can get over 20,000 hours of light from a single lightbulb for 1 hour of labor. In 1960 you could only get just over 1700 hours of light. Not to mention the cost to replace the light bulbs going down as well, due to their longer durability. This is a substantial improvement by almost any metric.

But what if wages had stayed the same relative to Gold because the world lived on a sound monetary standard the entire time?

If in 1960 an oz of gold could buy you 1346 kwh which would give you 16.5 hours of light each, that works out to 22,209 hours of light per oz of Gold. Since it would take you 12.7 hours to earn that oz of gold, 1 hour of median labor would get you 1748.74 hours of light.

Fast forward to today, cheaper electricity + more efficient electronics, an oz of gold will give you 15,757 kwhs of electricity which can power an LED bulb for 100 hours each. So an oz of gold now gives us 1,575,700 hours of light vs 22,209 hours in 1960. This means if wages had stayed the same relative to Gold then you would get 124,070.9 hours of light from an hour of your labor, instead of the 20,000 hours you can actually get today. All vs the 1748.74 hours of light you could get for the same hour of labor 64 years ago.

124,070.9 / 1748.74 = 70.94

71 times more light for the same amount of gold, thanks to efficiency gains in our light bulbs and improvements to our electricity generating capacity bringing the cost of energy down. The world is getting incredibly cheaper all around us all the time, we just don't see it thanks to the FIAT system. Due to this FIAT debasement, 83% of the efficiency/technological gains has been taken from us all. This is the real theft.

Monetary Inflation is theft, the growth rate of the M2 is the true inflation rate, not the CPI. Inflation doesn't just rob us of our past earnings in the form of our savings, it reduces our future earnings too by debasing our wages.

₿ clears the fog of debasement we've been living under, truly revealing the world of abundance we live in TODAY. If we embrace its simplicity as the best savings instrument ever discovered and/or created by humanity, then we will all truly prosper having freed ourselves from the yoke of bondage that is the centrally controlled FIAT currencies of the world.

You really don't need to work so much. Have a new perspective, lower your time preference, live as frugally as possible within your means and do whatever you can to save as much of your money in BTC and you will be free of the drudgery much more quickly. Buy second hand whenever possible, learn how to cook at home and buy tools that assist you in that endeavor such as a quality blender / slow cooker / pressure cooker / rice cooker / bread maker etc. When you're free, you'll be able to use your time for more useful and important endeavors such as thinking / writing / inventing / volunteering and so on, and also have more time to spend with your family and friends.

Contrary to what many today feel, life is worth living and it can be much more meaningful. The future is bright and full of hope, you just have to leave the cave to see it.

I use spren on android to capture and limit some notifications. It creates a tier where the app notifies but no sound or notification bar, they are inside the spren app for me to look at later. A middle ground between no notifications and interrupt my deep work for this.

If I allow spren to capture notifications from #citrine it puts citrine into done sort of loop. My phone turns into a very effective handwarmer and the battery dies FAST.

Amazon operated at a massive! loss for the first decade of its existence. They also undermined the competition by unfairly not having to charge tax for over a decade. Once they were big, states would offer incentives like no tax if they built their warehouse or data centers in their state, undermining local business. Amazon's success is a product of the printing press and weaponizing government against the competition.


I didn't say I don't admire the dedication to stick with the plan as long as they did or the balls it took to take on that debt knowing that 1 poorly timed expensive issue could destroy all their work.

None of that changes that amazon grew the way they did because they played the fiat debt growth game perfectly. This helped them beat competition who weren't as good at that game as they were. All of Musks companies, netflix, uber and a few others are also king even though they weren't the best in the market because they were better at the fiat debt growth game. This is a separate game to the basic good product, good price, good customer service model of business from middle school economics. Modern fiat businesses must do both to be king.

Most bitcoin companies are on a bitcoin standard and don't have access to those insane levels of leverage and cheap debt. They will need to run the company differently. We will need to support those companies differently as consumers. Devs from the silicon valley VC world who don't see this important distinction and adjust will get wrecked.


Amazon is also deeply fiat and only won because of fiat. Their initial growth was funded by never ending cheap debt. They always just skirted the line of maximizing the debt they held while still bring able to make the payments.

Only cheap debt makes it possible to grow that fast. The speedy growth is how you crush all of your competition who wasn't enough of a degenerate gambler to take on reckless levels of debt to fund rapid growth at all costs.

1 ounce of gold has bought a nice suit for a few thousand years now. That equilibrium is because the mining inflation of gold matches the gains in human productivity producing the suit over long timeframes. Both are gains in human productivity.

🚨 For the first time, a government is being overthrown by 3D-printed weapons 🔫

The longest-lasting civil war today took an unexpected turn... when the resistance adopted plastic weapons and cryptocurrencies.

You NEED to know what's happening in Myanmar 👇

https://image.nostr.build/a2fdf9026e54b6b1da842627fb5b8c4bd194211838d838b3c0d791eb5db65441.jpg

Myanmar has never had political stability since gaining independence 76 years ago.

The latest coup was in 2021, banks were drained, and the local currency lost 60% of its value in the following months.

Rebels have since been using CRYPTO to finance themselves.

https://image.nostr.build/ddaac81e9555922d2c8940c90ccbc8f37c6f4e1b987a79282a8324377d0e1724.png

They declared TETHER as the official currency 🏅

They launched a stablecoin and a crypto bank on the Polygon network that accesses Uniswap pools for buying and selling currencies.

They even created a digital lottery and boycotted the national Myanmar lottery, which saw its revenue drop by 80% 📉

The rebels have raised about $100 million in recent years.

They even auctioned "revolutionary bonds": buyers could receive a share of a deposed general's mansion, for example.

But this $100 million is nothing compared to the nearly $1 billion that the junta has invested in the war since the coup.

This ASYMMETRY of resources suggests a protracted conflict with no end in sight.

The junta is unable to eliminate all the decentralized insurgency hotspots... but it can exhaust them financially.

However, the asymmetry is decreasing, thanks to DISSIDENT TECHNOLOGIES...

The insurgents have already liberated ~50% of the territory.

The military junta controls the most populous and economically significant areas.

China supported the last coup in 2021. The West never had enough incentive to confront Beijing 🇨🇳

But in 2024, everything starts to change.

China's interest is economic.

They need to be on the side of the "winner" to ensure access to Myanmar's strategic pipelines and ports.

They were working in "ONLINE SCAM CENTERS" operating in the northern part of the country. They were lured with fake job advertisements.

Not participating means only the collectivists and authoritarians get a say. That means government gets worse faster and living my peaceful life where I get left alone gets harder faster.


This is true, however, I think rational anarchy leaves room for voting.

I am simply trying to build the best world I can for me and my family with the resources available to me. I know that government will likely always exist. I know that their laws only apply to me if I let them. I know that it is in my best interest to make attempts to reduce legal risks of my actions.

That could mean using tor and reshippers for darkweb puchases, it could mean using a vpn when torrenting, it could mean using a radar jammer when speeding, it could mean voting for the candidate that I think will nudge the government toward trying to hassle me less.

I don't believe that legitimizes their power, I never felt they had any just power to legitimize.

This is how most people shoot bullsye. Keep in mind I mean bullseye the specific shooting sport not bullseye as in a very accurate shot.

The idea is to stand in the most neutral and naturally balanced position possible. The off hand is in his pocket to keep it still so it moving doesn't move the rest of his body.

In places where real guns are legal most bullseye is shot with 1911s, a semi auto chambered in 45acp. The slide would pop you in the face, very painful, if you stood how most olympic competitors stand. Olymipic is 22 caliber and often air powered, WAY less recoil.

I just find it crazy how many people will openly admit to voting for candidates they hate. That's all I was making fun of.

That is separate from my not trusting them to pick good leaders for themselves. Not trusting even good leaders to not be corrupted by their power. And most of all not believing that society even needs elected leaders or a government.

Mad that your political party keeps fielding candidates you hate only slightly less than the opposition candidate?

They only have the power to force a candidate on you because you refuse to vote for a third party candidate.

That gives me an idea. New organisation that patents creep tech just to defend the patent so no one else can implement said creep tech. Effectively removing that idea from the market until the patent expires.

It would need donation support. Maybe it could be a division of the EFF or similar.


The aggressive spying in new tech has turned me from a tech fiend into a luddite.

I still love a bit of good tech, but the options to get excited over are few and far between if you want anything like privacy or to actually own and control what you bought.

One day working with network installers the fact that the wires inside an ethernet cable are different lengths comes up. One guy doesn't believe it. We explain they are twisted different which you can see and that adds up over time. He doesn't believe it. We had a tool handy that is used for finding cable faults. It measures how long it takes for an electrical pulse to bounce of the end of a wire and return to tell you how far away the break in the wire is. We test a 50' cable, it shows the pairs are all longer than 50' and 2 are longer than the other 2. He insists something is wrong with the tool and goes to get his own. His shows the same lengths. He insists we must be pulling some kind of trick on him. We offer to pull apart the 50' cable and stretch out the wires. He says we must have some way that is part of the trick too, it won't change his mind.

This is what I think about people excited to vote for someone who has already held an office. I think about it every election.


Imagine actually believing this is about money laundering.

"Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know."
– Michael Crichton (1942-2008)


I was once in a key role in an international news event. Not one article was even close. Not one person ever asked me, not that I would have shared what I knew.

Years later I found this. Now I don't watch the news. I've luckily avoided the "believe any stupid bullshit as long as it contradicts the news" trap many news disrespectoors fall for.

I just go on best I can based on what is immediately around me. This hasn't hurt me yet. Turns out most news is only good for getting mad and yelling at other people. I'm still guilty there sometimes when news makes its way to me despite my efforts to avoid it. We all have more growing to do and I'm working on it.


Technical Analysis, assuming it has any value at all, fails the moment there is a news event.

Probably the same room temperature superconductor technology that puts that much power in a battery that size.

An HT does seem like the most important place to put those technologies into production first.


Personally, I switch between them depending on context and my intention.


Assuming a 9v battery, you need 6x 4/0awg wires to pass that much power safely.


Not even a little. Safe distance is 11m for a controlled environment and 25m for an uncontrolled environment at that power assuming 0 antenna gain.


So many people are conditioned by media to think anarchist just means someone who wants to break and steal other people's shit without getting punished. They tune out if you identify as such. Voluntaryist is a new term to normies so they don't just ignore you from the word anarchist on.


It has changed around me. Used to be far less used and the people who used it really meant it 10+ years ago.

Now I'm hearing true libertarians call themselves minarchists to avoid the bad association like ancaps and voluntaryism.


I couldn't tell you the last time I meet a new real libertarian. Lots of authoritarian right using that term these days.


The news of the assassination attempt the other day really shows the power of the internet.

It connects people so you can easily find commentary from an expert on personal protection, inergovernmental agency operations, and who has inside information about the "why" questions which haven't been answered by anyone investigating the matter by interviewing people on the scene.

Furthermore, with social media, you probably don't even have to go looking for them. They are people you already happen to follow.

I've seen some fantastic comments from these incredible people within the first 24 hours alone. What a time to be alive.


Lots of people outing themselves as simps overnight. I still believe no one deserves to be my ruler. I also still believe in the non aggression principle.


In addition to recovery days with light workouts I added a recovery period of 15 minutes or so right after my high intensity workouts. I also meditate and or do breathwork after that if time allows. That made a huge difference in my post exercise funk and how quickly I recover.


This drives me nuts too. Especially when I quoted to correct OP.


Do you do much low intensity recovery work after those bike rides? Light exercise hits a sweet spot where the raised heart rate helps clear out stress hormones from the high intensity work but isn't so intense that you are adding more stress.

If your heart rate takes hours to get back to resting after a ride the answer is no. Adding 15 minutes where you intentionally go slow and target zone 1 will cut that time back to resting way down. Less stress exposure, quicker recovery because you are starting to recover sooner, and less low energy time from being exhausted by the workout.


This is a great catch that they did this on the 100 year anniversary of $1T marks.


Thanks and to you as well.
