It still surprises me to see anyone surprised when the State tries cracking down on Bitcoin being used privately. It’s slightly surprising that Bitcoin isn’t banned yet.

“most mitigations are likely to be defeated as surveillance increases”
Of course the same applies to coinjoined and Monero transactions, assuming no further improvements.

2024-09-22 19:39:58

- reply

A few assumptions are made in some attacks in that analysis, such as “KYCed coins used to open channels.” Also, some of the suggested mitigations are already active in LN implementations. Of course people fuck up. In any case, it’s definitely more private than non-coinjoined on-chain transactions.

Of course all the regulated exchanges are going to comply with whatever they are told and stop accepting LN or BTC that has coinjoin history. Europeans should embrace Bisq and Robosats.

Same with my work computer. Should have specified that it’s when you own it. If “you” is your company, same question applies. Proprietary software requiring Windows is a valid answer, but perhaps much of it works in Windows emulation (Wine) on Linux?

This is essentially a bet that government regulations will hamstring open weight, open source AI. Nobody is going to want neutered, less versatile AI when open alternatives exist. It’s an investment in tyranny.

It’s a problem with the transformer-based architecture. They are basically feed-forward networks where the “neurons” all face the same way, input layer -> inner layers -> output layer. They need a new design for more complex reasoning and eventual consciousness. Maybe liquid neural networks? Not sure what it’s going to be.

Both Switzerland and El Salvador have extradition treaties with the US. They used the extradition treaty with Portugal to arrest Roger Ver there on tax charges. Not sure if they used it to get the Samourai devs. Some countries that aren’t themselves tyrannies like Russia and China need to give the US the middle finger more often.

Just need to maintain some places that refuse to get on board with global minimum tax mandates, and also don’t extradite to the US.

If open source AI models continue to even kind of keep up with proprietary models, it’s almost guaranteed that the US gov will attempt to restrict it with export controls and placing liability on devs for model “misuse.” Sucks, but I don’t see it going any other way.

I suppose red dwarf systems could allow more time, if they are habitable.

Makes you realize that the time allowed for intelligent life to evolve is actually pretty short (assuming ~4B years between genesis and intelligent life). Probably the reason we haven’t made contact yet - the window is very short. The best chances for contacting intelligent life will probably involve looking for civs that have transcended to Kardashev II+.

The only long term solution is FOSS software and hardware in modern vehicles. Full self driving and fully autonomous unmanned vehicles (land drones) are going to become increasingly common and eventually change the way intersections and traffic flow work. Relying on old vehicles that lack computers and networking is not a long term solution.
