AtHeartEngineer··on Fable 5 – Median thinking declined in August
flash next is good, I've been running it for like 2 weeks now and it's pretty solid, hope you like it and it meets your needs. I still lean on Claude and codex a fair bit for harder stuff, but I'm rapidly moving towards 2x $20 plans instead of 2x $200 plans

AtHeartEngineer··on Why aren't smart people happier? (2022)
I got to this point somewhat recently, I stopped worrying, I kind of broke. I still think about the big picture a few hundred times a day, but went from worrying about it and thinking it was something I could do anything about, and really am just kind of a nihilist now. I was a nihilist for a time as a teenager, saw the world, grew to want a better world, got mad (still am pretty mad) that we don't live in a better world (good job greed), and now I am just idk, participating in the circus for what it is.

A whole combination of things lead to that last year, I had to fire a bunch of people, quit my job, trump, family stuff, living situation stuff, dog passing, etc. But ya, not fun to go through, but I would say life is a little easier if you stop worrying about the big picture, you don't have to stop thinking about it or paying attention, but just recognize there's basically fuck all you can do by just worrying about it.

AtHeartEngineer··on Why aren't smart people happier? (2022)
For me it was a combination of being around people much smarter than me (I got lucky and worked at some crazy places) and realizing how disfunctional they are. There is some happy medium where you can be pretty smart and realize you are a normal person.

I've met people that are about my intelligence, who have been better educated than me, and they think they are fucking brilliant and it's just tiring as shit. They are insufferable to be around. Honestly I think a lot of silicon valely/tech bro people are a fucking chore to deal with because they have this "I'm so smart" attitude.

If you want to check your ego, try to prove yourself wrong, test theories, talk to people to get their perspective and actually try to understand them. At some point you realize how much you don't understand about the world, about other fields, and about other people's experience.

AtHeartEngineer··on How Claude marks AI-generated content
non visible text is extremely easy to filter with a git hook, a post tool call hook, or just a script. I doubt they are doing that
AtHeartEngineer··on Illinois just passed a law that puts Linux on the hook for age verification
This is definitely not about "protect the kids" or age verification, this is a stepping stone to full identity verification to use the internet at all.

AtHeartEngineer··on Trusted URLs via Cryptographic Signatures
Just emailed you, I'm working on something similar https://github.com/MinistryofMany

it's basically an OIDC provider as an identity wallet using verifiable credentials, but I've got a "share link" system built in where you can share specific credentials/proofs with others.

AtHeartEngineer··on Ethereum Is a Dark Forest
Transactions on ethereum get processed from the mempool in order of who wants to pay the most gas to have their stuff processed.

And yes, ethereum has more potential for problems, it's a much more complicated system than bitcoin. Their current goals are proof of stake (getting away from energy wasting mining) and scalability. Bitcoin is great for what it's great for, being digital gold, but it's pretty far from replacing Visa, ethereum actually has a shot at that.

I don't see how this could all not fall apart. It seems like the divergence between the stock market and the rest of the economy, is going to be the biggest bubble that has ever been. Personally, I think it's going to be the end of the US dollar.

AtHeartEngineer··on Black Sky satellites return images just 58 hours after launch
It's not about how fast you can task a satellite and get data back that the article is talking about.

It's taking about between when the satellite was launched, and when it was able to send images back down was 58 hours. That is impressive. In the past it would normally take a week or more to get a satellite into a stable orbit and do all the checkout tests. After that, sure, task away and get all the images you want.
