@railLKB @JaguarCat_ @Turbomanager @jjasloot these sell out within minutes of being posted btw, nearly impossible to actually get

[Arkadiy Kukarkin @parkan]

@robinsonmeyer @nytopinion did something get dropped in copyediting here? I think you're trying to say (correctly) that rising demand results in lower per unit prices due to amortized servicing costs but the "system costs raise prices [and] drive demand" is backwards causally

[Arkadiy Kukarkin @parkan]

@taydotfun @bendingspoons @luke10ferrari @harvest @brokenspoons yeah they were a chill platform I would happily pay them on pre-acquisition terms

[Arkadiy Kukarkin @parkan]

now that @bendingspoons / @luke10ferrari have set off to ruin @harvest -- what's a good invoicing platform these days?

[Arkadiy Kukarkin @parkan]

@taydotfun @bendingspoons @luke10ferrari @harvest @brokenspoons I previously replied "wrong spoon!" but actually this is perfect

[Arkadiy Kukarkin @parkan]

@taydotfun @bendingspoons @luke10ferrari @harvest ok yep took about 15 minutes to feature parity, byeeee

[Arkadiy Kukarkin @parkan]

@taydotfun @bendingspoons @luke10ferrari @harvest literally doing that now

@Melt_Dem also see Chiang, Bostrom, Kahle, etc all from 10+ years ago

[Arkadiy Kukarkin @parkan]

@Melt_Dem this was very explicitly formulated by Nick Land in the 90's (Machinic Desire etc, not an endorsement) and has been pretty widely understood for decades

[Arkadiy Kukarkin @parkan]

@Rididelduol @slatestarcodex @KTmBoyle paid post sadly

[Arkadiy Kukarkin @parkan]

@PSpaceAmoeba @slatestarcodex @KTmBoyle don't get me wrong, the current commentary is good, but actions have consequences

[Arkadiy Kukarkin @parkan]

@slatestarcodex @KTmBoyle scott, I don't expect a reply, I just want you to consider: has the rationalist movement perhaps contributed to the situation which you are describing? nearly every single SV right-winger quotes the codex in the first 5 minutes of conversation without prompting; reflect on this?

@sunny_gonna @thomasoncrypto I think my brain combined the original entropic design with algebraic constructions because of the integer lattice foundational to both

[Arkadiy Kukarkin @parkan]

does anyone remember a pre-BTC digital cash project that was based on integer lattices, circa ~2002-2003? no evidence of this existing at all but I think I have a key that signed an early account, please hit me up if you remember even anything close to this (announced on usenet)

[Arkadiy Kukarkin @parkan]

@sunny_gonna @thomasoncrypto I think this was it, a lot simpler than I remembered (and a bit later, this article is from 2007 but I think launched in ~2004-2005)

[Arkadiy Kukarkin @parkan]

it's not hashcash or anything simple like that, totally different line of thinking

[Arkadiy Kukarkin @parkan]

was not on cypherpunks, was probably on sci.crypt or alt-something, had a strong "buried treasure but you computationally cannot find it" narrative, never got traction b/c no viable mining = no incentive to run a node

[Arkadiy Kukarkin @parkan]

@levelsio NL is also currently host to a couple dozen gravity nukes to be deployed by Dutch F-35s and has a pretty nasty post-war chemical weapons industry? I am all for anti-proliferation but this is a weak position to argue from

[Arkadiy Kukarkin @parkan]

@levelsio I'm assuming this is meant for anyone unfamiliar with the history of NL, or Indonesia, Suriname, Ghana... van Heutsz is having a good laugh
