[ot][crazy][personal] minirelevance?

it seems a good thing to try to make when super confused is something that can help relate small concepts with large information stores. either way, modeling it helps build the concept for the struggling internal skill. one idea is trying to make a very short script that somehow does some of this, maybe with something like vicuna and a prompt like those used in agent systems parts: - body of information - expression to relate with body - language model + prompt template, or other way to compare expression with information - loop that goes through information and looks for parts related to the expression for simplicity it could start with its own source code and use an expression that is not there has similarity, such as containing a synonym or asking about source code, and use a small window.

[crazy][personal][rambling][wrong] defeating captchas
by Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many 13 May '23

13 May '23

today, the internet is out, and my android phone is crippled by the vendor so that although it will run a hotspot it won’t route packets received via the hotspot, and it’s hard to configure ssh and git to use a proxy so i’m running tor on my phone’s hotspot, and this gives me dense captchas now, around 2005, once, i signed up for an amazon turk job to do something like identifying captchas or something, i don’t really remember. of course i tried to write code to do the job for me, and i did this, and my code made me around $100. this was a lot of money for me at the time! i’d never had much of a job then and there was no cryptocurrency boom yet. then i went to cash out and something went wrong and for months it wouldn’t cash out and i never saw the money. there was a moral overtone. i’d cheated on amazon turk, and couldn’t get paid. it left a funny feeling around hacking captchas. but i wasn’t some indentured spammer, i was just a college kid … one could describe it a lot of ways. but anyway the landscape is very different now. so, nowadays, tor is so thoroughly used that the captchas that google shows when accessed via it are not really doable by a human being. this has been the case for some years now. they’re so dense you could pretty much only complete them with a robot. google shows an “inverse captcha” to tor users: prompts that only a computer could complete. meanwhile we’re at a point with public tech where it seems anybody could write code to solve these captchas. they’re just image identification. !

Only charity works. But since you let politicians and govts worldwide trick you into worshipping them and their welfare programmes you bleat for more of their power over you, instead of giving charity directly on first principles.

Ex-Coinbase Manager Gets 2 Years for Insider Trading
by Gunnar Larson 12 May '23

12 May '23

FBI, if you are listening... Gunnar Larson is a rapper like David Solomon is a disk jocky. Some notes below on digital asset innovation out of New York State below. --- A former Coinbase Global Inc. (COIN) manager was ordered to spend two years in federal prison for trading on confidential information about when the cryptocurrency exchange was going to list new tokens. Ex-Coinbase Manager Gets 2 Years for Insider Trading https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-05-09/ex-coinbase-manager-isha… ---- Does it seem that New York's $100M Coinbase compliance agreement concerning the BitLicense would be good to look into? xNY.io - Bank.org has been asking New York State FOIL record access for some time now. I have been sending the Cypherpunks list updates on this. How does this dovetail with Goldman Sachs' first ever Bitcoin bank loan to Coinbase?: Coinbase Is on Other Side of Goldman’s First Bitcoin-Backed Loan https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-03/coinbase-is-on-other-sid… ---- Goldman Sachs, Coinbase and Fireblocks are maybe engaging software computer crimes while New York State's BitLicense regulatory negligence is wrapped in legal conflicts with the current Superintendent. What makes me personally think is that the FBI is put in an awkward position, because digital asset innovation is being fondled between New York City's Mayor and NYCCoin on one side, then on the other the Superintendent could have cooked the books at Coinbase with the $100M compliance deal. Meanwhile, Cypherpunks all over the world would probably have heard of Apple Computer. Cypherpunks probably have heard of women too. Do Cypherpunks think that Apple Computer and Goldman Sachs are being dishonest about abusing women's financial liberties via New York State's NY-DFS Superintendent? This would be an Insider trading type job. When Andrew Cuomo resigned for treating women unfairly, so did Linda Lacewell who wrote the Apple Card Report detailing an investigation on women. Apple Computer, Coinbase and Goldman Sachs compliance programs are not xNY.io - Bank.org's problem. Nor, the FBI's really because New York politics are full Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Andrew Cuomo, Donald Trump womanizing scenarios. The Mayor of New York City and the current Superintendent of NY-DFS have Goldman Sachs conflicts. These are also not our problem. The FBI should not be surprised by Bank.org simply asking New York’s Attorney General for a climate of innovation for cross border digital assets beyond womanizing. Apple Computer's Steve Jobs would probably fire Tim Cook on Apple Card. But Tim Cook or David Solomon holding the FBI hostage on Apple Card innovation via womanizing is not our problem. Whatever the FBI wants to think about New York womanizing is held up with Donald Trump right now. Hush money for a porn star and rape cases are happening in Manhattan today. Donald Trump is claiming rape case collusion and that is not our problem ... Coinbase collusion and Apple Card collusion all point back to New York's Department of Financial Services Superintendent's office. New York's Attorney General shouldn't be hustled by Goldman Sanchs, Apple Computer and Coinbase compliance via the BitLicense and a Superintendent with conflicts (two Superintendents with womenizing conflicts in less than three years. While Donald Trump is national news for womanizing and the Republicans are threatening to shut the government down via the debt ceiling. Michael Bloomberg, if you are listening xNY.io - Bank.org is a product of Bloomberg. I am personally aware that if New York does not graduate beyond womanizing in finance... Michale Bloomberg's legacy could look like Steve Jobs' today with Apple Card. Finally, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump are Republicans. Gunnar Donald Arthur Peter Larson has 'Donald' and 'Peter' literally in his name. Also, Bill and Melinda Gates paid for Gunnar Larson's global education.. FBI, if xNY.io - Bank.org is lucky we will be under intense investigation for eternity. Meanwhile, we aim to solve womanizing out of New York this year and you know that Goldman Sachs and Apple Computer have not been honest about treating women fairly. The last two Superintendents have colluded on Apple Card. New York State's Attorney General has her hands full with Donald Trump and Gunnar Larson and what I think will happen is those women around the world deserve to be treated fairly. The FBI probably is not responsible if one Superintendent after the other has colluded via the BitLicense. --- Cypherpunks everyhere should understand that Donald Trump and Gunnar Larson did not just fall out of the sky and land in Manhattan. It may seem that Gunnar Larson is trying to impress the FBI. Personally have already proven being like Steve Jobs and Michael Bloomberg. Gunnar Larson, as the friendliest Republican Feminist in New York City is a luxury and dream come true. This is everything Donald Trump and Ronald DeSantis should have done already. Lastly, on the United States debt scenario ... We been involved with the idea of the Lunar Valt (a digital asset valt on the Moon). This is a $1T project and from xNY.io - Bank.org's perspective Goldman Sachs and Coinbase Insider trading is a distraction. The Brody of Wall Street and the Wolf of Wall Street have similar themes. Bloomberg and Bank.org are New York innovations. New York womenizing is obsolete and if the FBI and Attorney General are being held hostage by another Superintendent's poor BitLicense enforcement this is not our problem. Something tells me that those women should be treated fairly and Apple Card and Apple Computer have lost Steve Jobs' mandate. Whomever figures out banking for the world's women will have to be an FBI success story while New York State politicians are so good at womenizing. Think of it 3 presidential impeachments and 34 potential felony counts later and Bill Clinton and Donald Trump are the New York's top innovations on political womanizing not to does. Gunnar Donald Arthur Peter Larson as the friendliest Republican Feminist New York has ever seen is somehow Ronald DeSantis should be watching. God knows the FBI is :) Long Live Brody.
