Have LFG looked into this @isnit0? Too meta?

Laws and government policy should be on GitHub. Fork and discuss changes, fire AI models at them. We could improve the signal to noise ratio in politics by several orders of magnitude with this one change.

Cursor is a better UX than CLI tools and its coding agent seems to produce results of a very similar quality to other coding agents whilst being model agnostic. Results seem to more dependent on quality of development approach and prompts than the agent harness itself. No?

The only way out of this is through. Prosocial AI is the only realistic mitigation to the threat of antisocial AI. Regulating AI won’t stop non compliant antisocial actors, and will just hamstring our ability to build the AI systems necessary to defend our civilisation.

We disrupted a highly sophisticated AI-led espionage campaign. The attack targeted large tech companies, financial institutions, chemical manufacturing companies, and government agencies. We assess with high confidence that the threat actor was a Chinese state-sponsored group.

X really needs to remove the features that limit who can reply in a thread and allow original poster to hide specific replies. Whatever the supposed benefit is, it’s not worth the cost of allowing low integrity activist types to broadcast toxic bs unchallenged.

This is the way. Makers should stop mincing their words. Takers must take a back seat - they are dangerously wrong. The cost of applying the terrible ideas of their insane zero sum mindset is unnecessary human suffering.

@RolandForTexas You are a taker, not a maker. All you’ve done your whole life is take from the makers of the world. The zero-sum mindset you have is at the root of so much evil. Once you realize that civilization is not zero-sum and that it is about making far more than one consumes, then it

If you're an experienced engineer who's lethal with AI coding agents, you should jealously guard your prompt stack (ie. AGENTS file). Your methodology is your secret sauce. Peter Thiel 101: the value is in the secrets. Don't open-source your moat for temporary clout.

If you want to suppress access to chain you need to soft fork the transaction validation rules so that they reject the previously-valid transactions you now don't want on chain. There is no other way. Bitcoin is Sybil resistant.

The goal of mempool policies and standardness rules in Bitcoin is to make nodes as efficient as possible, whilst not filtering out likely-to-get-mined transactions as that would compromise fee estimation and slow block validation. It was never about suppressing access to chain.

I've raised a pull request on the btcd repo which raises the OP_RETURN size limit to 100KB to align with core v30 standardness. I fully expect this to be merged with very little drama. Thank you for your attention to this matter! https://t.co/L1gKDFpAfA

Let me try and wrap up the Bitcoin OP_RETURN/filter debate. You don’t need to attack Luke Dash Jr's character or motives to show that Knots filtering goals are insane and misaligned with Bitcoin's design goals. Here are the key facts: - Filters can’t stop valid transactions with

A 160 year old polish chapel that looks like something straight out of a Wes Anderson movie. A thing of beauty. Big up the Polish people nearly two centuries ago that built it.
