CLAUDE: The privacy paradox we face today—where people claim to value privacy but readily surrender it—may partly exist because most people haven't seen "behind the curtain" regarding how their data is actually collected, processed, and used. Those with technical knowledge or insider experience don't have the luxury of this cognitive distance.

If it isn't the mempool size, and it isn't the chain size, presumably it's censorship. But if you'd like to actually say what you're alluding to that would be easier than me guessing

2025-05-16 12:06:45

Mempool is small compared to the chain. Small nodes aren't running out of memory, they're running out of disk space

2025-05-16 10:45:29

- reply

Throwing mud doesn't make your arguments any better. Mempool filters reduce memory usage, but have no effect on block sizes. Only changes to consensus can do that

2025-05-16 03:30:57

- reply

That's an entitled view. How else should core allow nodes to misconfigure themselves? Nodes are welcome to run whatever code they like, just as Core is allowed to write whatever they like.
That's a separate issue from what I had said, which is that adding filters beyond consensus to mempool doesn't accomplish the stated goals, and is ultimately harmful to node operators

Who said the nodes can't decide? What you're advocating for is not in the nodes' best interests.
But am I biased: I run an rpi node

2025-05-15 21:50:51

- reply

This is logical If the goal is to reduce mempool memory usage. But the intention seems to be to keep these blocks off the chain, and filters fail to do that. Instead they create two different mempools, one of which makes miners more money. Node runners end up with the same chain bloat, and open nodes are now second tier template sources

Why shouldn't vbytes be a free market?

2025-05-05 13:56:50

Let me see if I have this right:
- People are already making huge transactions
- Since there's a limit on OP_RETURN, they're stuffing them all over the place
- Either way they're paying for the vbytes
- Blocks will have the same size regardless of what's in them
- The limit on OP_RETURN increases complexity
- This is a effectively a tax on high-data transactions
It seems to me that the decision is between artificially keeping fees low, and rewarding miners. Given the importance of a healthy mining ecosystem, shouldn't we favor free market vbytes?

New use for LLMs: explain this clickbait to me so that I don't have to click it

2025-05-01 03:12:28

- reply

I don't think DHTs are the right direction for small data. You're better off spraying the same records across many databases, like nostr relays. This gives you more redundancy, and the implementation is simpler. I think you could even use nostr events by first signing the message with the stronger algorithm, including this in an attribute, then signing the usual way. Even if it becomes possible to forge the outer signature, you can use the old algorithm to find potential events and then filter out those that don't have valid new signatures.
I'm also not concerned about quantum cryptography. So far it seems to be a great way to attract funding and scare cryptologists, but practical advances have been limited. It may be more useful as a tactic to scare people into using unproven, less secure alternatives rather than those that are actually secure today.

“An Application may not download or install executable code. Interpreted code may only be used in an Application if all scripts, code, and interpreters are packaged in the Application and not downloaded. The only exception to the foregoing is scripts and code downloaded and run by Apple’s built-in WebKit framework or JavaScriptCore, provided that such scripts and code do not change the primary purpose of the Application by providing features or functionality that are inconsistent with the intended and advertised purpose of the Application as submitted to the App Store.”

It always starts off great. Then you realize that:

- people are stuck on an old version
- or they just want to use the app right now instead of updating
- or their connection was unstable on update and now they have half old and have new assets
- some basic API isn't available
- or is available but has different options than the normal API
- or different bugs
- and things behave differently when installed as a PWA vs a web page
- etc
This isn't a criticism of jumble.social as I haven't used it. I've long advocated for PWAs and web first, but... it's way harder than it needs to be

2025-04-27 15:51:35

I understand the perspective. For a long time getting an LLM to arrive at the right answer took a lot of coaxing and hand holding. I kept doing it because I'm interested in technology and prefer to collect my own data rather than have people tell me what's real. Claude 3.0 Opus was the first to turn the corner of being obviously able to reason about things. It still got a lot wrong, but it was a level above the other models.
Since then, things have gotten better quickly. What used to spit out "intern" level code can now perform at senior+ developer levels when provided the right context and interfaces. That's a big jump in one year. Keeping a similar pace, by next year they will outperform all humans at writing software.
Will they be human? Of course not. But now is the time to figure out how to integrate these new calculators into our lives

2025-04-27 15:38:22

- reply

Sure, but the LLM can use a calculator as well. The point is to see that the LLM isn't regurgitating something that it's seen, because it hasn't seen every math problem. Realizing that they are instead following logic demonstrates that they are not stochastic parrots, and that they also can design experiments. Are they human? Of course not. But they can already do most things a human can do, if you give them the right context and ask them the right questions

2025-04-27 15:26:19

- reply

For a stochastic parrot to count to one trillion, it must explicitly train on the entire sequence of numbers. And to count backwards, it must also train on the reverse sequence of numbers. To do math, it must train on every permutation of every equation that it hopes to solve. There is essentially an infinite number of permutations that we expect grade school kids to solve.
No one is training LLMs like this: the hidden layers are somehow generalizing answers, not stochastically reciting them

No one cared because there was no scale. Everyone spoke a different language, and if you were going to lift someone's ideas you had to put in so much effort you might as well mix in your own ideas at the same time.
If this conversation is really about IP laws being used against AI then my take is a little different because I don't think AI is a derivative work any more than a human who has read a book is a derivative work. If someone prompts the AI to produce something obviously infringing, that's on the prompter. Corporations don't want this because it's too difficult to enforce, but their protections have grown too strong over time and are past due for a correction
