No, I haven’t. I’m using replit that has Claude 3.7 built in. It has these things called “checkpoints” where it clocks what it considers a significant code change. You get a limited number of checkpoints a month and even debugging doom loops burn through them. Replit checkpoints are shitcoins

The chatbots are not reasoning models. Try OpenAI’s o3 model or deepseek’s R1 for reasoning. There’s a new one coming out every week now

They will be nearly free. The models will be open source and the only cost will be compute, which will be commoditized. Hyperdeflation is coming (if you’re a bitcoiner). Time to start pursuing beauty

2025-02-09 02:27:03

I’ve spent the last few weeks immersed in reasoning and deep research models. I’ve seen enough.
At least one (if not multiple) models will cross 50% on the Humanity’s Last Exam benchmark by the summer, and that will be a massive inflection point.
2025 is the last year when there will be a need for Product directors, product managers, engineering managers, and even scrum teams.
The product and software development lifecycles will never be the same again

And another one. Perplexity nails the analysis of the "Certain Man and Entropy" poem from chapter 10 👇
The poem "The Certain Man and Entropy" appears to be modeled after Lewis Carroll's "The Walrus and the Carpenter" from "Through the Looking-Glass." Here's why:
## Structure and Style
- Written in six-line stanzas (sestets) with a similar rhyme scheme (ABCBDB)
- Uses nonsensical language and intentional misspellings ("fery vames," "game ox chance")
- Features personified abstract concepts as main characters (Entropy and the Certain Man, similar to Carroll's anthropomorphized characters)
## Literary Devices
- Whimsical tone despite serious subject matter
- Deliberate word play and made-up words
- Uses portmanteau words and creative spelling
- Maintains a sing-song rhythm characteristic of Carroll's style
## Thematic Parallels
- Like Carroll's poem, it tells a story that contains deeper meaning beneath its nonsensical surface
- Uses absurdist elements to explain complex concepts (in this case, Bitcoin mining and entropy)
- Employs mathematical and logical concepts, which Carroll (a mathematician himself) often incorporated into his work
The key difference is that while Carroll's poem was purely whimsical, this poem serves as an allegory for Bitcoin's proof-of-work system and the role of entropy in establishing consensus through mining.

I asked perplexity to analyze chapter 9 from my book 24 and I think it did a good job.
The Noncemeister conversation in Chapter 9 explores three types of reality and their relationship to truth and the timechain (blockchain). Here's the key breakdown:
## The Three Realities
**Apparent Reality**
- The realm of dreams and imagination
- Where "seas can be boiling hot, and pigs can have wings"
- Constructed from projections of phenomenal experiences
**Phenomenal Reality**
- The empirical world experienced through senses
- What Oliver initially considers "real" - his daily experiences, physical sensations
- The observable, measurable world
**Absolute Reality**
- Transcends both apparent and phenomenal realities
- Where "there is nothing to understand"
- A state of pure being without distinction between realities
## The Timechain Connection
The conversation reveals that in the timechain (blockchain):
- All three realities converge into one truth
- There is no distinction between appearance and reality
- Truth becomes absolute through consensus
- The system creates "incontrovertible progression of truth"
## Key Themes
**Understanding vs. Being**
- The Noncemeister emphasizes "being" over understanding
- Suggests that trying to categorize reality is futile
- Points to a deeper truth beyond intellectual comprehension
**Truth and Time**
- The timechain represents absolute truth
- Time becomes an absolute measure through consensus
- Creates what the Noncemeister calls "the ineffable language of abundance"
The conversation serves to challenge Oliver's conception of reality while introducing deeper philosophical concepts about truth, time, and the nature of blockchain technology.

A lot of bitcoiners I’ve spoken to are well aware (myself included) that we had to make a Faustian pact with a dystopian tech oligarchy, and four years of abject shitcoinery for Ross’s freedom.
However, that bargain doesn’t exist in a vacuum and needs to be weighed against the alternative: Ross still in prison and four years of Kammunism.
Worth it.
