๐จBREAKING: Kentucky family rejects a $26 million offer to turn their farmland into a data center, roughly 10x the areaโs going rate. โIf itโs my way, Iโll stay and hold and feed a nation. 26 million doesnโt mean anything.โ

Slow and steady wins the race.
That "move fast and break things" approach is a very short term tactic, not a strategy. Tech debt is just debt, you're gonna have to pay it back eventually whether you realise it or not.
Yeah I read it back. And wake up in the night with "wait! there's a better way!"

Engineering group update meeting.
Power point point slides.
New members! ... Claude! ha ha!
(dude, wtaf, you just fired a bunch of people like 7 days ago. this is clumsy and insensitive.)
...
Q&A link.
Endless questions. CTO just keeps going. For three hours. "I'm being transparent!"
Yup. Starts getting irate about questions about low morale, and starts pushing back.
Dude, read the room. Stop digging yourself into a deeper hole.
English
@John_Stepek Not sure "finally" is the right framing. "They" have been trying to resolve fundamental issues with financial tinkering and engineering for decades (at least) - that's how we got into all these deep messes.
"I wouldn't start from from here if I were you"
English
The fundamental problem for markets right now is that in the Iran war, they've finally run up against a problem that emergency monetary policy canโt fix. There is no Greenspan put in this situation. (And TACO is a poor substitute).

@loftwah They know they're in a meat grinder with no way out.

@sunnydecree Bircoin is stillin the early years of rapid power law growth. Stock induces and gold exhibit are slow exponential growth.
Also, bitcoin was already oversold and near the bottom of its historic power law corridor.
English
GM. Bitcoin is showing almost no volatility, while stocks are down and gold is down even more. Isnโt that weird? How do you explain this?
English
@jeremyphoward Own the code, and move in small steps you control and understand. They aren't ready yet for unsupervised working.
English
Opus & Sonnet 4.6 haven't been a great hit for most of my work, or our customers, since (as warned in their tech report) they're over-enthusiastic about agentically taking over, rather than letting the human lead.
Any suggestions for competent models that are patient followers?
English
Work as measured by mining difficulty was subject to a rapid progression through CPU, GPU, and then ASIC mining, and many steps in each of those phases, as well as profit motive evolving rapidly, starting with enthusiasts mining at a loss.
The power law relationship with calendar time is more about the Lindy Effect - folks simply trust a system more the older it is, as it is increasingly battle tested. Combined with diffusion of knowledge of bitcoin - that it exists, what it is, and that age factor creating new waves of diffusion ("huh, is that thing still going, I heard it was dead").
English
@voidcompiler @LeomathHeart @planC Block size vs time is pretty lumpy in the early days. Itโs reasonable to believe that there is a solid relationship between work (to mine blocks) and market cap, even more so than just calander time. The problem is that itโs more complex to calculate and harder to extrapolate.
English
This model shows a better linear pattern and regression fit (R2 = 0.97) compared to a common price to time model.
Strong credits:
@martykendall2 for the BTC Market Cap idea
@PlanC for the clean hourly BTC block and price data (137k data points).
The chart is the result of work in progress based on sharing ideas among some very devoted Bitcoin researchers.
I will share my intermediate finding.
This is the standard OLS regression of the Log(BTC Market Cap) on Log(BTC Block height).

@nic_carter @Daractenus Do you not know that his father was a toolmaker?

The utterly mad president of the US just shared a skit humiliating the British PM.

@ThePunnyWorld Yup. And keep them in a biscuit tin instead of a cookie jar.

@OhNoezzz @RubiRubenstein @UK_Resurgence @SimonMagus They aren't independent. That's a technicality not a reality.
English
@voidcompiler @RubiRubenstein @UK_Resurgence @SimonMagus But the BoE is supposedly independent and they're the ones with the printer, not the govt. She might legislate to bring monetary policy in house of course though. Then hyperinflation will follow.
English
The U.K. is in for a truly miserable time over the next couple of years, but the comedic value of Angela Rayner having to implement true austerity might just keep us buoyed through it.
English
Yup.
And those people are typically higher up the org.
"Look how good this is!"
"Hey, I know, let's fire n% of enginneers!...like, this week! Get HR on a call will ya"
(literally what happened in my org just recently)

I feel that people who are bad at coding are more bullish on AI. And this explains a lot.

Him: My whole programming philosophy is 'move fast and break things.' Just push the code live, let the users find the bugs, and hotfix it in production. life's too short for unit testing.
long pause.....
Her: Cool.
Him: So, what kind of software do you write?
Her: Pacemaker firmware.

@Dad_Tastic @Simon_Ingari Same. 3% for years, but went above and beyond this year so bagged the extra .25%
Remind me what the inflation rate is?
