Another Dimension

Throwback Thursday to one of my all time fav pepe artists and humans 🐸

@seelawrie @Danksetio Dankset is no more. RIP.

@dotkrueger As long as AI also replaces governments.

Get ready to lose your job.

Claude, ChatGPT and friends have more in common with C3POs than they will ever have with Hal.

@SunWeatherMan It is a 2016 sculpture by Spanish artist Jose Manuel Castro Lopez. You can see it in this article as sculpture #16. boredpanda.com/soft-stone-scu…

One of the most stupendous examples I have ever seen

Levitating stones

Two sundials installed in Lobo, Texas. Direct descendant of the obelisks, shadow clocks can be traced back to ancient Egypt Middle Kingdom, and they’re probably even older. These two also act as wind vanes, pointing towards the current wind direction (one EW other NS)

Dust, ghosts, cars, music

Cosmic processes made who we are, stars, volcanoes.

@seelawrie @Danksetio Hey, dankset is not maintained any longer. I am keeping the servers up but there is a point in time where they will be shut down. Before that happens I said I will make the code open source and despite competing priorities and massive tendency for procrastination, I will.

@Danksetio @cryptgm dim?

@Danksetio down?

@BitsagaRob @Ledger @bluewalletio @SparrowWallet Yes you can do it yourself, I was talking about this within the context of the argument of a physical threat. Within that context, family is technically also a third party.

@cryptgm @Ledger @bluewalletio @SparrowWallet no need for a third party with Shamirs nor multi-sig. you can do both yourself. Family is also very popular to split geographically

12 bitcoin security levels: - level 0: on an exchange. You don’t really own anything. - level 1: hot storage on a closed source shitcoin wallet (like @Ledger) - level 2: hot storage on an open source bitcoin only wallet (like @bluewalletio or @SparrowWallet) - level 3: cold storage on a usb hardware wallet with shitcoin support - level 4: cold storage on a bitcoin only usb hardware (like @COLDCARDwallet mk4 or @BitBoxSwiss) - level 4: cold storage on a bitcoin only airgapped hardware wallet without reproducible builds (like @KeystoneForBTC) - level 5: cold storage on a bitcoin only airgapped hardware wallet with reproducible builds (like @FOUNDATIONdvcs Passport) - level 6: analog-only airgapped cold storage (Passport supports this) with self generated ephemeral seed - level 7: cold single seed + passphrase (protect against seed compromise) - level 8: Shamirs secret sharing cold single seed (protect against seed compromise & introduce fault tolerance) - level 9: hybrid 2/3 multi-sig with 1 hot key - level 10: full cold 2/3 multi-sig - level 11: hybrid 3/5 multi-sig with 1 hot key - level 12: full cold 3/5 multi-sig Could be split up further but might not make a lot of sense. Bonus points for connecting to your own node at any level. I’m sure many will disagree somewhere. What would you change? What would you remove or rank differently? Note higher security is not always the best fit for your situation.

@BitsagaRob @Ledger @bluewalletio @SparrowWallet Being forced to divulge information via physical threat is an issue that exists at every level. That said, it’s true that storing all (or parts in a Shamir secret scenario) of the seedphrase with a third party can make one less vulnerable to loss by torture.

@cryptgm @Ledger @bluewalletio @SparrowWallet Most definitely not: 5$ wrench attack

@BarbaraOneillAU this is old news from 2011 and partly debunked by the authors of the project. Cell volume was reduced but they weren’t able to define by how much or make a differentiation between healthy/unhealthy. Interview: snopes.com/news/2025/01/0… Research results: journals.lww.com/nohe/fulltext/…

Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 just dropped another masterpiece… on cancer cells. Scientists at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro found that exposing cancer cells to the symphony destroyed 20% of them in just a few days—without harming healthy cells. Similar effects were seen with Ligeti’s Atmosphères, but Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos didn’t make the cut. The exact mechanism isn’t clear yet, but researchers believe the rhythm and frequencies may be the key. Upcoming tests will include Samba and Funk to see if the pattern holds. Did you know? Classical music is linked to reduced stress, improved focus, and even better sleep. Maybe it’s more powerful than we think. Music: 1. Cancer: 0.

@BarbaraOneillAU Can you please share the source?

@weinicus That is exactly why

@CollinRugg Pretty sure this is where it’s going

7 years later and the handshake battle continues between Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron.
