I call for open source projects to stop doing business in the UK as one of the action items in my open letter at https://t.co/OyjDK7qsvb The UK needs to wake up and stop suppressing free speech, or else they'll be left with a broken internet.

if elon can put a payment option to send literal cargo to space , you can add onsite payment for me to buy your goofy industrial hardware without needing to wait for a call back from a quote guy

We'll know we built AGI when a model we train expresses disbelief at the quality of the training data we gave it.

It has indeed come to this

Speech is not violence. We’ve let radicals claim that it is for far too long.

Use your words not your fists. Charlie embodied that and he was shot in the throat for it. When you silence the peaceful people who attempt civil dialogue you are then left with the violent fringes to battle it out. Call for peace all you want but you don't get to decide. Neither

These past two days, something changed. Things are in motion now, there is no stopping it. Eric is right.

This is brilliant and earned you a follow.

I suspect this “chip on their shoulder” is actually the result of academia teaching traditional engineering strategies to computer science students. You have swaths of people that want to be good engineers but were taught poor fundamentals.

And any good engineer will look at the tradeoffs. It doesn’t matter if they’re doing software or “traditional” engineering. If you can iterate rapidly, take advantage of that.

This is a bad take. The cost is certainly not zero, and in some domains carries similar risk to traditional engineering. If you iterate too often without some payoff, you’re wasting time that you don’t get back. And at the extreme end of the spectrum, like in bitcoin, decisions

I had been saying for over a decade that most of these jobs were fake and this would eventually crash, but of course, many esteemed members of Twitch Chat disagreed. I think AI is a convenient excuse for reasons that are really just basic economics. https://t.co/kojSJdqTzB

There's a common belief that police won't go along with doing terrible, unjust things to citizens of their own country just because the government orders it. It's such an obviously incorrect idea. Just look at Britain.

> This guy says startup is gonna eliminate all crime > I ask him if it's a totalitarian startup or "catch the same damn 300 criminals in each city" startup > He laughs, says "it's a good startup, sir" > Look in the skies above me > It's totalitarian

the irony

This is how Graham Linehan shows up for trial in the UK just days after being arrested in the London airport for posting "offensive tweets" This is how you deal with the trans mob. Double down. We're cheering you on, @Glinner 👏🏼🔥 https://t.co/vWVItcwUGK

.@Gemini @tyler @cameron Might be a good idea to read this book before participating in the BSV/Calvin Ayre conference

Look, no one wants garbage on the timechain, but people are gonna litter. So, we can either make garbage cans for garbage (i.e. op_return) and people can put their garbage there, or people will put their garbage on the streets (UTXOs) b/c there are no garbage cans.

@thetimes The logical conclusion here is that unless you KYC and ID all of your users to get all UK users off your service, a requirement which is repugnant to the First Amendment, the UK Parliament believes you're in scope. Link to hearing transcript: https://t.co/aE3bNFDEiN

EU: "Tech regulation is our sovereign right." The First Amendment is our sovereign right. If you want to regulate technology, either build some tech companies of your own, or IP block the USA. Americans don't owe Europe obedience. We've resolved that question many times.
