Curtis Yarvin literally pwns and trolls his tech bro supporters in his ny times interview. It takes skill and chutzpah to make your supporters part of your performance art. It’s kinda hilarious that he sends his kids to a liberal school because the rubber has to meet the road and he finds Musk odd, Apple as a monarch, Vance an institutionalist, and the current phase as fools trying to untie a gordian knot. If it looks like a troll and sounds like a troll and walks like a troll. It’s probably a troll even if he’s made friends with you.

“Quantum is a meme coin”. The working title of my journal article.

You have to love method names in stack traces “invokeExplosively” has to be a new favourite (and a reason why I limit myself to simple 4 letter names in my code).

Quantum computers are at the point where quantum engineers dream of a day when they are only as wrong as a 1990s intel pentium chip.

“Contrarian” is the new polite phrase to describe people who are fucking nuts that should not be near our social power.

I’ve worked it out. The drones are a message from mechanical about how IT is lying to us all in the silo.

I wrote a blockchain this year for a commercial product going live early 2025. It’s a chain that stores images direct from professional cameras using phone wifi, suitable for an f1 photographer who wants to live post using ai post processing from the start grid. After I have live processing to @zora on @base, I’m going to open source the chain on @zora mid 2025. The VM is a virtual-virtual machine where the user execution context is virtual and then executes on many stateless virtual machines in a cluster where some call AI. 4th energy lives on.

Financial risk is my industry (risk is defined as return variance), yet it’s taken this ride to make me realise duh, an asset with 20% volatility is irrefutable evidence that it is an asset with no intrinsic value to anchor it. Its value is pure sentiment. I also just reviewed a journal article that quantifies it.

I’m unsure anything the head of Google quantum says stands up to any scrutiny. The 2x Moore’s law sounds like many of the breathless hockey stick business plans I’ve seen at board meetings. If you think your bitcoin is going to disappear up a quantum black hole; send it to me. I’ll look after it for you. 😀

Writing… Quantum is an observed natural phenomenon. It was annoying for a while because it broke things, but it’s real and accepted as such, now, and so we can observe and repeat it and try to make machines that exhibit the effects in a controllable way reliably and at scale. This is what a quantum computer is; the machine that tries to achieve these effects at scale. The rest is just programming using the quantum equivalent of digital logic gates constructed by maths applied to the physical manipulations and observations. We are both there; the theory and math is known, and not there because the machines don’t scale. And we also don’t have a shared understanding of where “there” is because it’s a space unanchored that needs the machines to anchor them.

After watching the head of Google quantum and reading about drones, I’ve decided to up my fashion game.
