"I quickly discovered that freshman physics was wickedly hard, thanks in large part to the textbook, The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Volume 1. The book was less of a traditional textbook than a collection of brilliant essays based on a famous series of freshman physics lectures that Feynman delivered in the 1960s. After a few weeks, I felt like my skull had been pried open and my brain rewired. I began to think like a physicist, and loved it. Like many other scientists of my generation, I was proud to adopt Feynman as my hero. I scuttled my original academic plans about biology and mathematics and decided to pursue physics with a vengeance." Source: https://nautil.us/what-impossible-meant-to-richard-feynman-238358/

I ran an internet speed test and wanted to have a basic understanding of latency, jitter and packet loss. My time budget was 10 minutes. I started with asking ChatGPT: "Explain like I'm 17. Latency, jitter, packet loss". How do you think about learning from first principles vs. via analogies? https://chatgpt.com/share/67c3d4b2-0858-8010-be9a-97ee363de3f3

👀 👀 This mind-boggling number exceeds known timescales in physics and vastly exceeds the age of the universe. It lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a multiverse, a prediction first made by David Deutsch. https://blog.google/technology/research/google-willow-quantum-chip/

Chrome iOS users: Does tavern.fm audio stop sometimes when you switch tabs/lock device? Resumes on return. Any fixes besides a PWA or native iOS app? @brennen.eth aware?

Decreasing mining rewards from halvings, unless offset by significant price increases or higher transaction fees, could lower the cost of potential network attacks, challenging Bitcoin's status as a secure store of value. What are the top solutions for Bitcoin to solve its long-term network sustainability problem?
