KARL - Could you not bring up your alleged health issues in our chat?
by professor rat 09 Apr '23

Could you not bring up mental health issues in our chat? We're a community of problem solvers but can't help those who can't help themselves/ It makes us feel powerless when we hear you won't tell us where you are. We want to help youse but there's nothing we can do. Btw - I'm taking the diabolical liberty of speaking as 'we' since others have said similar over the years. I noticed you brought up health issues in chat again. This is your third warning. It's actually your fourth, but we'll call it you a third. TL/DR HELP US HELP YOU!

A c-punk that can't argue against " Four Horsemen " critics is a eunuch
by professor rat 09 Apr '23

They're like an anarchist that can't argue against ' propaganda-of-the-deed ' critics. Same deal. "How will privacy and anonymity be attacked?" [...] ( Mongo ) like so many other "computer hacker" items, as a tool for the "Four Horsemen": drug-dealers, money-launderers, terrorists, and pedophiles. . . " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Infocalypse The implicit ' social contract ' with our proposed cryptoanarchist alternative 'operating system', to replace neo-liberal/ state-capitalism, is that prediction markets reduce the anti-social criminal population and then we use reputation capital ( Goodwill, good-faith dealings, etc ) more in our day-to-day dealings with each other. It is also a sorta cypherpunk ethic that we are for transparency for the rich as well as privacy for the pleb. Don't like that? Tough. Strong powerful and wealthy anarchists do what they like - the weak suffer what they must.

Reverse Bernstein - make crypto a munition again
by professor rat 09 Apr '23

09 Apr '23

As a rogue judge just did for an approved pharmaceutical >>> Daniel J. Bernstein, supported by the EFF, also sued over the export restrictions, arguing that preventing publication of cryptographic source code is an unconstitutional restriction on freedom of speech. He won, effectively overturning the export law. See Bernstein v. United States for details. <<< " Cypherpunks " - Wikipedia Soon as this is done Adam can go back to radical T-shirt activism and we can all get some sleep.

With offices in Canada, Cali and Israel, Blockstream is subject to the same regulatory regime as Moby.

Drilling down a little on Mobilecoin I noticed several of their top people retweeted a post mentioning ' cypherpunks'. Then Moxie Marlinspike was associated with anarchism for a while. Makes me wonder if Adam Back isn't providing ' revolutionary ' figleaf cover the way Moxie just did. Adam already supports 5-VEY compliant journalist, Julian Assmange. Presumably Blockstream has a compliance officer or three - maybe we could ask them? How many customers has Blockstream already ratted out? And when did Adam stop raping his wife?

If crypto is free speech how protected is it?
by professor rat 09 Apr '23

09 Apr '23

By Moby? Not much. >>> David Ackerman @CryptoRegExpert · Oct 25, 2022 That question is as yet unanswered but I’d argue it probably is. The question we should be asking is, if crypto is free speech how protected is it? Does that protection outweigh the restrictions some wish to place upon it to combat financial crimes or other atrocities? <<< https://twitter.com/CryptoRegExpert/status/1584530449849896960 Reposts not rehashes of old cypherpunk lawfare experience

first jart was banned from llama.cpp by ggerganov during personally targeted trolling from 4chan after implementing mmap which drops loading time from minutes to immediate then i was banned from jart's discord this easter morning while sharing notes on model pruning and compilation earlier in the channel chat, i had asked what a good hard problem to work on was, and jart's user replied that sparsification was useful, that even looking at resources and sharing notes in the channel would be helpful so i was surprised to be banned while doing this exact behavior ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Karl Semich <0xloem(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Apr 9, 2023 at 6:04 AM Subject: did you ban me from redbean discord? To: <jtunney(a)gmail.com> sorry if the sparsification exploration spam was too much i was really excited to have a task to work on and kind of took it a little far i was in the middle of editing a message with notes on the hyperparameters for optimal bert surgeon when the server disappeared from my discord list didn't notice any warning or dm, although i was in another fullscreen window the moment it happened I'm using Inbox When Ready to protect my focus.

What is " Filecoin " ?
by professor rat 09 Apr '23

09 Apr '23

What is Filecoin? Filecoin is a decentralized storage network based on the Interplanetary File Storage (IPFS) protocol. It is designed to utilized unused storage globally into an efficient storage market for users to pay for low cost storage. The objective is to ensure file storage is permanent and distributed across the web. Contrast this with centralized cloud storage solution such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, or Dropbox, where data are stored in servers owned by these private corporations. Filecoin (FIL or ⨎) is also the currency of the decentralized storage network. Customers wanting to access storage will have to pay for storage in Filecoin. Nodes that provide storage to the network will in turn be paid in Filecoin for their service. https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/filecoin Reposts not shameless shilling for Chinese consumerism that once had Fil priced around 80 USD
