@aestheticist_ @memeticsisyphus Nice data, do you have the source for this?

@memeticsisyphus philosophy majors are one of the highest paid degrees. that’s because the people that major in it tend to be very smart, not because there are lots of high paid philosophy gigs. you need an undergrad to pursue most professional employment so might as well study philosophy.

Lawyers make money, not philosophy majors.

Caribbean Rhythms episode 213 will come tomorrow Friday or Saturday on Cold War history and on Hilaire du Berrier plus more on end of the Soviet Union and the rise of “the oligarchs” in Russia

@sbarky38 who up sloshing they propellant

who’s making the KSP mod that models propellant sloshing and ullage collapse

@poorteffy Who up chuckin' they cheese

Fun fact: in order to stay in business most Chuck E. Cheese’s operate as ghost kitchens. When you go on DoorDash and see those restaurants that don’t exist in real life like “burrito time” it’s a Chuck E. Cheese with a fake name cooking they ass off.

Are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me right now? Is this fucking joke? Fukushima? Really? I mean, Japan did some pretty awful stuff in WW2, but... Fukushima? Of all the ridiculous things to feel guilty over... Fukushima was hit by multiple 50 foot tidal waves from a 9.1 earthquake at sea. That's not a fucking nuclear accident. That's your nuclear plant being hit by the hammer of god. And after that, you contained it. You took the hand fate dealt you and you played it with everything you had. You had workers volunteering to be heroes, to stay and fight to shut that thing down. And you saved... everyone. Not a single clearly connected death. In the middle of a natural disaster that cost you fifteen thousand souls, your people fought this thing and won. Chernobyl is something for Russians to be ashamed of, because that was their own screwup, and stupid communists can't do anything right. Fukushima wasn't your screwup. Fukushima happened to you. And your men stopped it. Fukushima is not your national shame. It is one of your finest hours.

@P3b7_ AI-generated text, no link to the paper, I am disappointed

Today, Google Quantum AI published a research paper that might boost the post-quantum migration. Their team has tailored Shor’s algorithm to solve the 256-bit Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem. ECDLP is the hard mathematical problem that secures ECDSA: the signature scheme underpinning most blockchains, TLS certificates, and countless authentication systems, using fewer than 1,200 logical qubits and 90 million Toffoli gates. Translated to hardware: fewer than 500,000 physical qubits, executing in a few minutes. A few minutes. Less than a Bitcoin block time. Less than two Ethereum epochs. The long-standing argument that public keys can simply remain hidden is now moot (In fact, it has always been x.com/P3b7_/status/1…). What exactly changed Shor's algorithm has been known since 1994 as a generic quantum approach to factoring integers and computing discrete logarithms. But "known" and "practical" are very different things. The real progress is in the engineering: how many qubits and gates you actually need once you compile the algorithm into a fault-tolerant quantum circuit. The last breakthrough by the INRIA Rennes team required ~2,100 logical qubit count for ECDLP. Google's engineers optimized the full circuit stack to ~1,200 logical Qubits. The recent algorithmic trendline is clear: every 12-18 months, the resource estimates drop significantly. And these are pure algorithmic gains: they compound on top of hardware improvements, which remain a major challenge. However, as of today, we're still far from having such a quantum computer. This didn't change. Zero Knowledge Proof Here's where it gets interesting. Google chose not to publish their optimized circuits. Instead, they released a zero-knowledge proof that their circuits achieve the claimed resource counts. We have no doubt they know how to do it, but no clue how (sounds magic ;-)) The reasons are likely multiple: competitive advantage, national security implications, or simply not wanting to hand a blueprint to adversaries. Regardless, it establishes a powerful (and elegant) precedent. What’s ironic: Google's ZK proof is not itself post-quantum secure. What’s next? The good news is that we already have the tools: Post Quantum Cryptography, now we need to migrate. A few days ago, Google announced it is targeting 2029 for full post-quantum readiness. NIST plans to deprecate RSA signatures by 2030 and disallow all legacy algorithms by 2035. Most organizations haven't started their cryptographic inventory. Major blockchain protocols are currently discussing the path forward. Cryptography exists to create mathematical trust in the security of systems. That trust is now being eroded, not by a working attack, but by the increasingly credible prospect of one. In security, the moment you start doubting the foundation is the moment you should be rebuilding it. What this means for blockchains For blockchain ecosystems specifically, the threat is central. ECDSA on secp256k1 (Bitcoin) and P-256 curves (broadly used elsewhere) is the cornerstone of security. Unlike traditional systems where you can rotate certificates behind a corporate firewall, blockchain migration requires coordination across decentralized, permissionless networks. This process will likely take time. I'll be diving deeper into the concrete challenges and strategies for PQC migration on blockchains and secure systems at my keynote this Thursday at EthCC conference.

@ILuvHiroiKikuri @cloneristic Skill issue

@cloneristic I'm not reading any of that. Cognitohazard

Eh. Leave her be. She's out there living the best life she knows how. Vulgar, coping mids are the bread and butter meat and potatis of the sex economy. You can shit talk them all you want but what if your trifling ass gets divorce raped? Who else will be there to catch you in the situationship roster when her favorite dick falls through and you're otherwise trapped laconically masturbating through tears at a torn picture of your bitch ex wife that ruined everything? You may think being on the B team is beneath you, but would you rather be riding the bench? Who else is supposed to glob up Hinge with easy pussy so it's even worth bothering with? Are you gonna suck yourself off along with the rest of the coomer 'cel block? I rest my case. This is a perfect illustration of why this body count talk is a pointless distraction. Does this girl sound like a virgin to you? Did Chad just pop her cherry? No. So that means she is prefucked already. As far as saintly virtue is concerned, she is ruined. There are n_,1_33_@,$ walking the earth that know what the inside of her pussy feels like on their dick, and as long as they live, that will still be true. In olden times this was the differentiation people cared about because it is the only one that actually matters. Once you are in ho world, the details are just details in her future husband's already ample cucklog. All you really have as far as women goes, is virgins, faultlessly divorced (very rare, like widows), common strumpets, and professional prostitutes. If you start chopping up the lines in much more detail than that you are just getting played. You are letting ran through, heavily prefucked women steal virgin valor and that just means you are getting worse treatment for higher cost, with no honor redeemed or redeemable. People don't want to admit how brutally cucked they are almost no matter what they do. They want to think Schnookums the low body count good girl would never do any weird stuff with bad boys. If you think this, I'm sorry, you are catastrophically retarded and should stop even trying to get a leg up in a gender war you are in no way equipped to fight. The women have you bound and buggered before you even get on the field. Let the people that have aged into reason handle it and worry yourself with a sportsball chewtoy instead. You are also highly counterproductive to this situation ever remedying itself in the only way that actually works, which is trad marriage and regulated courtship as seen in just about every religious tradition going back thousands of years and mostly what your great grandparents were doing as recently as mid 20th century. Stop the fucking copes, it's the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. You people are well boiled frogs who's liquefied brain juice is about to blow out your foreheads talking about "hey, I think it's getting a little hot in here. How bout we turn that thermostat down a pinch! My Schnookums, she's not like the rest of 'em, I'll tell you what, by golly. Her past pipe rides were top notch. Smooth as a whistle and poundy as a peach. Only the best for my princess!" So let this bitch cook. Maybe she'll suck my dick next. Good. Whatever the damage was, it already happened long before you showed up. Before most of us were even born. And we're all making do with what we got. Sexual renunciation is not an end in and of itself. If it is valuable, it's to serve another purpose of nobler enhancement and fuller pleasure, such as mandating people be forced incels except in marriage so their pair bonds are maximal strength and that creates the best chance for true love to thrive in an environment conducive to creating healthy, stable families. But if you're not even trying to do that, and that covenant is already as blown out as your roast beef puss and prolapsed toush, what difference does it really make? It doesn't. You need some D and you need it now. People gotta eat, no matter what, every day. They can't sit there and wait around for a brighter day they've only ever heard about in a song. Then it'd all be too much to bear, and the only thing that would pass is empty time. We're in R selected world now, rutting like beasts in the muck. And that too is good. It's certainly a perk of the job of living. And it's how we got here in the first place. We tried to ascend higher but it didn't work out this time. We thought we were better than that. That we had better ideas how to do things. There is more experimenting to do to come to a new meta equilibrium state. It will work itself out in the end. Your job is to do you and do your best with what you're working with. Until maybe that one fine day, it all comes together, or it all falls apart for good. Finally. At least that'll be something. And something is better than nothing. By a country mile.

@joeroganhq Hey @JoeRogan, let's talk about Bitcoin.

@trueonpurpose @cloneristic

@da_fidget @cloneristic Little touch I wanted to add

Women deliberately feigning obliviousness to male shame instincts is one of their most offensive traits. A lot of harm comes from it and they use their affected ignorance as an excuse to abuse and humiliate while playing dindu. You really can't let them get away with it or there is no limit to how far they will degrade you.

@trueonpurpose @cloneristic Man I love the slow mo in this clip. Really drives it home

women that carry water for someone that readily admits "she can't even count how many men she was with" are not good women and should not be in a position to raise the next generation. they have a bias towards their own narrow viewpoint that is so divorced from reality it's not even funny.

@acteduweininger Quite interdasting...

Otto Weininger discovered that all men of genius prefer women of the prostitute type. Western society conspires to separate men of genius and prosties. It is a fascinating correlation. I will continue these investigations.

The third rail in this cultural zeitgeist is men having sex with prosties. The prostitutes themselves condemn you as a rapist, the wignats as “Jewish”, the Christian LARPers comme il faut. Every disparate faction of our cultural decline is united against this. Feminine culture.
