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.

@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.

@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.

@jeremyphoward Own the code, and move in small steps you control and understand. They aren't ready yet for unsupervised working.
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").

@voidcompiler @LeomathHeart @planC Block size vs time is pretty lumpy in the early days. It’s 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 it’s 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?
English

@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

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.

i asked grok to date this photo. seems about right in terms of year, i have no idea if the location and other info is close or not.

Beautiful England. Year and location unknown.

@UK_Resurgence @SimonMagus Not sure the markets will support that…

@DaelonSuzuka Same.
Cat announces they're going to be more dog like from now on.
English


@straceX "Avionics" works too. Or nuclear power station control systems. Or anti ballistic missile guidance. Or...
English

@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?
English

@Simon_Ingari Got a 3.25% raise and after “exceeding expectations” 🙃
English

@CutMyTaxUK Any one got the phone number for the IMF? I last saw it in 1974
English

The Labour government borrowed a lot more than expected in February - £14.3 billion. Meanwhile borrowing costs are soaring - 3 times faster than the rest of Europe - & this morning reached the highest level since the 2008 financial crash.
Why are we borrowing more & more at an ever higher cost in order to pay millions of people to do nothing?
