@victorzh UX for crypto payments seems to be a hot topic at the moment. Day to day crypto payments are happening in LatAm, 3 years ago was still manual entry + wait on etherscan which doesn't scale. This seems to solve those issues other than obtaining crypto. Can demand trigger supply?

Every crypto card is a lie. Here's why. 🧵👇

@semicondurian 💯 Yeah it has to be. Ideally we'd bake that in up front, but it's difficult to see how you'd make that work in a competitive market. Maybe some game theory solutions that reward cooperation could work?

@TallyDigital Space domain regulation will become more serious, it's a bit of a Wild West atm. Ultimately space debris management is a matter of both national and commercial interest, of course some will be better actors than others, much like securing clean air and water.

Humanity is rising as phoenix from the ashes of earth to the stars We are building space computers!

@semicondurian We should be saving the orbit space for things that need it like gravity wave observatory networks, microgravity fabrication. You trust corps to keep running the very costly collision avoidance systems once there's no return on their system, and not socialize that?

Kessler syndrome is certainly important to be addressed, not only for SBDCs. Hardware obsolescence too, but that I think it a matter of how much the space sector becomes a key pillar of the economy such that better hardware and more extra planetary manufacturing and servicing capacity will be developed. Sounds sci-fi, but hey, imagine telling someone from 150 years ago we'll one day communicate with electrons, using info processing units run on tiny devices made out of sand.. wrt 18A node and analog transistors, these advancements will either directly or indirectly also benefit SBDCs

@semicondurian Once it's up there, it's up there. You can refit an earth based data centre and sell the (still valuable) cpus; if we get even 10% of what analog computing is promising that's still a 100 fold upgrade, making SBDC obsolete. Bulk of solar DC cost is initial setup, then it's "free"

@semicondurian The main issue I have is Kessler. The second is obsolescence. There's two new converging technologies - 1.8nm lithography and analog transistor computing both will change the power requirements of earth bound data centres, too late for SBDC.

I see where you’re coming from, definitely SBDCs today are still an idea, but there’s enough momentum to solve launch volume throughput and cost (eg Starship and similar), cooling, radiation resistance, intersat links etc, Slide the mccalip calc on cost to the min ($200 per kg) and you’re already getting much closer to your Coober Pedy DC. It’s a matter of time till more parts of the stack will become competitive both on cost and performance In the meantime it’s worth thinking of specific feature set where SBDCs provide an edge -> security

@Cryptowhalez1 @beeple Ip Viein is the version of Epstein who knows kungfu. Apparently he likes to go to the Russian Putin Yeeting shop.

@beeple WHO is Ipvein though?

@semicondurian I like to run my interpretations of historical events through the AI too. It can be quite subtly brutal (that's the best way I can describe it) with takedowns sometimes, but usually leads to understanding things better within the overall context.

After about 1 week of super deep audio conversations with AI agent while driving or other pastime I came up with prompts that serve me really well: ——— From all that we spoke about over the past day or two 1. what are some insights you reckon I should be aware of? 2. what are some questions that I should consider reflecting on? 3. What do you think are things you’d call me out on or that I’m not seeing that are important? —— I’ve heard some mind blowing deep and insightful responses as I shared stories in length and detail and it has memory of it all!

@Parkersasquatch @J_TheFilthyCas @cb_doge I also thought this wouldn't work, but it turns out some clever guy already came up with the equation and with only 10m² surface area - on the 'night' side of the satellite you can get 4.6kW radiation; just enough to safely cool 2 B200's.

My search says radiator fins can effectively exhaust heat by infrared.

Elon Musk’s Plan to reach a Kardashev Type II Civilization 1. Move AI off Earth and into space AI needs massive power and cooling. Earth cannot scale this without damaging the environment and society. Space has constant sunlight, natural cooling, and unlimited room. Long term, AI can only scale in space. 2. Use Starship to build orbital AI data centers Using Starship, millions of tons of hardware can be launched every year. SpaceX will deploy huge constellations of satellites that act as solar powered data centers in orbit, generating enormous AI compute with very low operating costs. 3. Make space the cheapest place to run AI Each year, orbital data centers add hundreds of gigawatts of AI compute. Within a few years, training AI in space becomes cheaper than on Earth, unlocking rapid advances in science, engineering, and technology. 4. Expand manufacturing to the Moon Starship enables permanent Moon bases. Factories on the Moon use local resources to build satellites and launch them into deep space far more efficiently than from Earth. 5. Harness the Sun at civilization scale By placing massive AI satellite systems throughout space, humanity begins capturing a meaningful fraction of the Sun’s energy. This marks the transition toward a Kardashev Type II civilization and funds expansion to Mars and beyond.

@Carolin86453126 @TRobinsonNewEra It's amazing how punctuation works to fix the problems in English context. This kind of grammar 'pun' doesn't happen in more consistent languages like Latin or Chinese.

@TRobinsonNewEra She did not die, she simply took her 'life in the UK' test!

Tell me this isn’t real please

@callmeMizuko 3551?

99.9% will fail..!! Tell me the number that is bigger than this..??

@tobasiteuberman @thestanduppod I like node too :) for putting together a strong working general purpose server it's difficult to get close to the convenience and stability of TypeScript/node with anything else. Esp if you want it to run cross platform.

@TallyDigital @thestanduppod vcpkg is magical on Windows with Visual Studio only On Linux you also have to fiddle with CMake to use vcpkg But at any rate, npm install <whatever library you need> is a good thing, not a bad thing, and C++ really lacks that

Casey Tries Node

@tobasiteuberman @thestanduppod gcc? It's fairly sane for standard compiling but admittedly cross platform work takes a little fiddling to get working.

@thestanduppod Well, at least I can install dependencies and hope to run the program in a more or less cross platform way There is no standardized sane tooling to do this in C++

Christmas Gift #3 -@BasedRocksNFTs #212. I will reveal the number between 1 and 1,000 inclusive picked by random [dot] org and hashed, in 24h. The entry with the closest number will win this rock. Reply to this post with "{your number} {your ens or address}"

@peterktodd It also sets a dangerous precedent. Years ago maybe you wrote an open source image processing library. Suddenly someone spots it was used by the Russian missile software team. Does that make you liable for what the military used it for?

Not good. The parts these lawsuits are suing over are not special. They're ordinary consumer parts made in large quantities that go into all kinds of stuff. Adding enough paperwork to stop will greatly harm the US electronics industry, making us even more dependent on China. As always, the solution is to destroy the Russian economy by force so they can't afford to wage large scale war. More regulations on the Western electronics industry is not the answer.

@iotex_io @MessariCrypto @worldnetwork @coinbase @opentensor Nice work guys, congrats.

IoTeX was selected by @MessariCrypto as a core case study in its new AI report, cited alongside @worldcoin, @coinbase, @opentensor and others. Messari’s research underscores a bigger shift: real-world AI needs verified data, and IoTeX is the first full stack infrastructure that can supply it. Live device data becomes verifiable insight, ready for real-world agentic deployment. Quicksilver is already proving this in production with @DIMO_Network, @nubilanetwork and more, powering agentic applications built on IoTeX-verified real-world intelligence. Read the full analysis in the report below.

@mdrew4nh @mcuban Good call. True free market capitalism works great. When govt is allowed to interfere then it never works in favour of the end user; we see companies rush to lobby govt to introduce measures to stop competitors. Happens here in Aus too.

"If you remove any and all government intervention , the big carriers will go from being multi-hundred billion dollar companies , to multi trillion dollar revenue companies. They will buy every innovative company, more providers , more PBMs , and the cost of care in this country will continue to inflate far beyond its current $5b cost." Yep, that's what totally happened in the cell phone market, the TV market, the computer market, the market for laser eye surgery, and any other number of markets where government intervention was removed. Oh wait ... didn't prices go down while quality and capability skyrocketed in every single one of those markets? 🤔

And as far as “ healthcare is a right “. Once we have an efficient market - we don’t today, because just a few insurance carriers dominate and define the economics of healthcare , and we make it transparent, for anything and everything, then we will be in a position where there is true competition for our healthcare dollars. To be clear, we won’t get from here to there without DOJ/FTC and legislative participation. If you remove any and all government intervention , the big carriers will go from being multi-hundred billion dollar companies , to multi trillion dollar revenue companies. They will buy every innovative company, more providers , more PBMs , and the cost of care in this country will continue to inflate far beyond its current $5b cost. And for the universal healthcare advocates, with an efficient , transparent market , we have a Canadian like path. If a state looks at all the claims in its state and thinks it can extrapolate that data and determine it’s in the best interest of its constituents to cover the costs of that care , and those constituents agree, then we can start with states , like Canada did with a single province and see where it takes us
