I’m considering familiarizing with git.idk.i2p since we’re probably going to need an anonymous GitHub in California. Unrestricted 3D printer firmware and Linux without ID verification are couple types of software about to become illegal to share here. 3DP gun files are already illegal to share.

I guess we’re waiting for Deepseek V4 to be distilled on GPT 5.4 Pro a bit.

If you ever feel dumb think about the California legislators who are currently trying to regulate Linux and 3D printer firmware.

How are US demonstrations of it being acceptable to arrest or kill heads of state going to change geopolitics and national security calculations for other nations going forward?

If the EU wants to shut down Trump’s pressure on Greenland, just threaten to allow ASML to sell EUV machines to China. Done!

AI expert: “Super intelligent AI will be able to distribute itself widely, making it impossible to pull the plug.” Same AI expert: “Super intelligent AI will emerge from hyperscaling and needs to run on a giant server cluster in OpenAI/Google data center. Can’t run on consumer hardware.”

Is there anything, short of a US civil war, that could prevent the US from centralizing military power worldwide and eventually becoming the World Government? Not sure even China is up to the task.

I’m predicting that after computer hardware manufacturers have forced us all to run demanding software like games on their rented cloud services because consumer hardware is no longer made, there’s going to be a new hacker movement to turn decommissioned data center servers sold on eBay into PCs.

I think I need to start building stuff I didn’t have before. For a long time every time I pick up a tool it’s to repair something that broke, so now tool use and mechanical and electronic work is associated with frustration. Need to find a way to get excited about it.

Prediction: within 5 years Nvidia will stop selling consumer GPUs and push their cloud computing as the way to run any demanding software going forward.

Will the institutional rotation from Ethereum back into Bitcoin happen gradually or suddenly?

I’d like to see Confidential Transactions added to Bitcoin primarily for privacy, but also for the amusement of it getting completely banned in the EU and the Wall St suits also freaking out about compliance and selling all their coins.

I wonder if the smart contract exploit that enabled the $1.4B ETH theft will lower support for OP_CAT in Bitcoin.
