In 1996, mathematician Daniel Bernstein sued the US government after being told his encryption code was a 'munition' subject to export controls. With the EFF's support, he successfully argued that code is a form of expression protected under the First Amendment. This landmark case challenged the fundamental notion of what constitutes speech in the digital age. Code is speech. Think about how ahead of their time Bernstein and the EFF were 30 years ago. Today's LLMs are proving that code and natural language are not just similar, but fundamentally indistinguishable. What was once a progressive legal argument is now a technological fact. image

At the very least decentralization will keep us all employed because at some point you have to put all this shit back together again. Both Plumbers and Data Plumbers are recession proof.

Folks who excel at using LLMs aren't bothered by hallucinations. Instead of frustration, they adapt and redirect. Or maybe they're just nerds who love to argue.

TIL that for 2FA the RFC 6238 recommends allowing for a time drift of at least ±1 time step (typically 30 seconds) on either side of the current time. While I can’t get all that time back spent sitting there waiting for the token to roll over, sure as hell happy to learn this now. 😂

An npub is free to create and expensive to maintain. The people here who understand that the value of owning an npub is accretive are wise enough to not treat their reputation as disposable. View quoted note →

If you're evaluating AI based on its ability to generate gymnastics videos, you might want to zoom out a little.
