For all his remarkable clarity @Devon_Eriksen_ gets this stuff quite backwards.

Atheists often do—like thinking law is only positivism. There’s an indefensible idea they can assert anything except on the basis of God—that without him anything can be but relative.

Christ (the logos) is an assertion both against this, and against the “gods” of old who were demonioi—hardly above creation or creations themselves. In an eternal universe (what Einstein disproved, to his own chagrin).

He often asserts as baselessly and harmfully as the New Atheists, now crying that they wrecked Britain, precisely opposite of Devon’s assertion that Christianity makes us defenseless: they whittled away at Christianity, now it is being invaded by the haters of Christianity.

The failure on atheist thought (and Jewish! Hence getting endless flak—and figures like David bar-Hayim at @MachonShilo getting threatened for acknowledging it, albeit in other terms and categories) is that similar things by the same name are not the same.

You can have a global religious body calling itself Christ’s that via adulteries opposes Him and universalizes everything when Jesus the Rabbi warned the way is hard and narrow.

Or rabbis giving their own traditions all contradicting one another but not teaching the Torah proper (what Jesus pointed out in his own day, and figures like David bar-Hayim at MS in Israel today point out must be acknowledged as there are contradictory stories that cannot be reconciled).

The atheist with good intentions just wants to blame “religion” without the difficult intellectual work not realizing if you destroy religion something worse will come to fill that void: made in the image of God, man will worship God or a god or Ba’al or his own corruptible image and feelings and ideals and mission and give us tyrannical hell on earth trading truth for the current interests of those with power.

[Devon Eriksen @Devon_Eriksen_]

@Abuser_Eater @TKratman That's the point. Christianity is a big part of what renders us unable to unite against precisely that.

Folks about to rediscover why unvendored software and dependencies (or that from untrusted vendors)

were—depending on era—written in shell scripts (UNIX), a scripting language (web), Java (enterprise shared software elements) or a Java-like (Android)…

[Abdulkadir | Cybersec @cyber__razz]

Someone hid a self-replicating worm inside 37 npm packages.

Written in Rust.

Hidden behind an eBPF kernel rootkit.

Talking to its operator over Tor.

It steals 86 environment variables.

AWS keys. GCP keys. Vault secrets. Kubernetes tokens.

Your Anthropic API key. Your OpenAI key.

Your Exodus wallet seed phrase.

Then it uses your own npm credentials to republish itself into your packages.

So your code infects the next developer.

Who infects the next one.

The commits were backdated up to 13 years.

The commit author name was “claude.”

The malware named itself after the AI to hide in plain sight.

The attacker also left their own wallet recovery phrase in the debug data.

Nobody is having a good day.

Check your preinstall hooks.

An actual life lesson that’s a rather strange one is experts are terrible at predicting things perhaps because they’re specialists in a field, and this narrows their vision rather than whacking their widening their insight— insight seems to come from breath of knowledge and with enough depth and enough areas one can then make an inference that others cannot.

We might literally do better with funding first certain building blocks that can be used across many small businesses and then many small businesses— create them service Businesses. technicians.

Then ease the administrative layers, the compliance functions, interfacing with lawyers.

We need not merely math nerds. We need practical nerds, startup nerds. Nerds who’ve done ground to pounding and run faster than regulators can catch up while avoiding the actual applicability of regulations and laws—not evading, but avoid avoiding.

In an indirect way I’m saying “strategic and cautious about leveraging a flooding algorithm.”

To @IOHK_Charles , and the Cardano community

Charles,
I saw your video the other day in which you asked “where do we go from here?”and in which you were despairing about the negative behaviour of many.

You are looking at it the wrong way. Humans are what they are.

Now, Cardano humans have recently been asked to forget about all they know and use a new system of doing business.
If they react with anger, frustration, spite etc, it means the system they have committed to isn’t good enough. Simple.
They lash out in frustration, not malice.

So we don’t need better humans, because those don’t exist.
We need a better system.

The current problem is pretty clear.
We have a “one-pile-Treasury”that is supposed to finance anything anybody can think of that is in any possible way related to Cardano.
Then we all get to fight about it.
To make matters worse, none of us can possibly be masters of all topics, yet Dreps are asked to vote on all proposals, also on some topic matters they likely know little about .
Not to mention the sheer volume of proposals they are meant to vote on.

The solution is the following:
Evolve the process:

1. Establish categories up front that Treasury Money gets to get spend on

2. Decide which field gets what percentage

3. Get the current and new Dreps to choose a category that they want to be Drep for, based on their personal expertise and passion.

Outcome:

- All categories of work needed to further develop Cardano are guaranteed their funding
- Decisions on what to spend the funds on are now made by Dreps with expertise in their field

Now the system works better, Cardano humans don’t get frustrated and stressed anymore, and we all go back to the mission of changing the world, powered by Cardano technology.

Others have mentioned this, but there’s very little necessity to actually talk about Cordano for many of these categories of technology (initially) because it really is an infrastructure layer and the people who need to consume applications and services. Don’t really care about the underlying cryptocurrency— in a more sane world they would but people don’t like to go that deep, and they already expanded enough energy in the day.

You guys thought I was just crashing out, this is what I said was coming a couple of months ago, and it's just getting started.

Almost everything you know on Cardano is dying while we spend more money researching how to make NERDY shit.

All we'll be left with, NERD + WINE

(E) Talent completely unrelated to crypto to start tiny little businesses in the sense that they are not extraordinarily expensive to start,

That could become

(a) a source of revenues,

(b) an incubating space for

(1) staff who could then become technical support and customer service and education for Cardano (since they’re already working for the business and would have downtime),

(critical for later explanation for larger adopters)

(2) educational and trade related materials in-industry to then put the solutions built on Cardano on display (in particular, built by people in the trenches that know the problem domain or under their oversight, rather than just nerds who love to talk about perfect math language is which to be fair is pretty cool, but you will always miss out on critical practical detail details going this route).

Most experiments fail, and negative results rarely get published. This means LLMs are unaware of the outcomes of most experiments.

Follow earned!

Not even a professional Dev & I’m shocked at how often people don’t go into the context and read about this stuff!

You see a similar thing today where everybody’s complaining about the C programming language and basically the criticism boils down to it is a portable assembly rather than a safer subset or language built to be systems or applications language but not very portable. 😂

A little more esoteric is where people want to replace reflexes with extended or perl refer, and they don’t realize that the original reject implementation is hyper composable and predictable (billions of times faster in some instances.

You actually need goto to properly implement them as automata (real regex).

[ProgrammingMadness @programmadness]

A lot of the people in the space built their entire career around building infrastructure for blockchains.

So they’re not business development they’re not business people they’re not true sales and marketing even when they promote the stuff because the people doing the promotion and influencing and content creation have never done anything but Card or cryptocurrencies.

So talk like yours is crazy talk it’s outside of their view. It is not in their world or their experience whatsoever.

This is why real estate was for [a long time] taxed based on value at purchases and any estate not producing income (rents) classified as not-an-asset.

The problem abandoning that old scheme is that all of the incentives for corruption become perverse and align everybody to go along with it (local gov, banks, financiers, etc.), including the homeowners who suddenly, on paper, have much higher financial wealth than in reality in any economic or other sense.

[Brad @BraddrofliT]

If taxing unrealized gains is somehow “unfair” for billionaires holding stock, then why are middle class homeowners hit every year with rising property taxes based on the unrealized value of their home?

Most people haven’t sold their house. They haven’t “realized” anything. Yet the tax bill keeps going up anyway.
