the worst Nix project has finally been announced: behold crypto NixOS

I’m starting a paradigm shifting, open and new human / computer interface system that is global, multi device and privacy focused.

[…]

DISCLAIMER: You are not my exit liquidity, I have the best performing long term spot crypto portfolio in the world - I’m a early adopter with 100% hit rate on geniuses. So, I don’t have to work, I’m not building this to become rich. I want to build something paradigm changing - truly mind-blowing, because now we have the tech and I’m annoyed how computer work. It is a lot of work, but it will reward us all.

my “this isn’t a grift and I’m not a grifter” disclaimer is prompting a lot of questions already answered by the disclaimer. but speaking of prompting, what goes with crypto?

ChatGPT-1o thinks, after some reinforced asking, that the MC of such a coin can reach 300-1000M; I think it could easily go higher - it solves so fundamental problems in a much more elegant way. In my opinion, it will be the same step as the command line to the windowed systems was. Or dump phone to smart phone. It will just span devices and span users while keeping the data under control and of companies.

of course. after some reinforced asking, gpt told me you’re all haters if you don’t think I’m as important as Xerox PARC!

there’s lots more in the OP to sneer at, but here’s the worst part of the thread:

Mod note: I’m glad to see doubt and scepticism about crypto-based claims. However, that point has now been made; please avoid any further posts in that vein to avoid a pile-on dunkfest, and leave the thread for any potential on-topic discussion.

thanks for nothing as usual NixOS discourse!

e: via mastodon, archive

That’s some wildly disingenuous goal post moving

check their recent post history. it’s all old school, Ayn Rand, bro you don’t even watch Bullshit?, internet libertarian takes and it’s fucking delicious, like eating a Big Mac straight from the time capsule where someone buried it

oh shit, it’s the only capitalist on lemmy and they’re in this thread! I’ve been waiting so long to tell you this:

go fuck yourself

e: holy fuck that post history, what did the objectivists do to you?

Can someone explain why I am being downvoted and attacked in this thread? I swear I am not sealioning. Genuinely confused.

my god! let me fix that

if only I splurged on awfulsystems dotcom, I could’ve been one of the big boys

The dotcom bubble didn’t rid us of dotcoms.

wait… is your definition of dotcom any corporation that owns a .com TLD domain? that’s so fucking precious, I love it

both those are related to information theory, but there are other things I legally can’t mention. shrug.

hahahaha fuck off with this. no, the horseshit you’re fetishizing doesn’t fix LLMs. here’s what quantization gets you:

• the LLM runs on shittier hardware
• the LLM works worse too
• that last one’s kinda bad when the technology already works like shit

anyway speaking of basic information theory:

but the research showing that 3 bits is as good as 64 is intuitive once you tie the original inspiration for some of the AI designs.

lol

the fruit can’t be rotten, you must be picking it wrong

it’s weird you pretend to be an anti-corporate leftist but when convenient post shit like:

All of the top tech companies now were once spending cash faster than they could make it, and all the naysayers saying they’d never be profitable.

“the only thing I hate more than neolibs and Peter thiel is when a bunch of thiel’s friends get credibly accused of running a massive grift” haha sure

I still need to finish that FPGA Krivine machine because it’s still living rent-free in my head and will do so until it’s finally evaluating expressions, but boy howdy fuck am I not looking forward to the cranks finding it

Wow, how is every post somehow weird and offputting?

just an ordinary mastodon poster, doing the utterly ordinary thing of fedposting in every thread started by a popular leftist account, calling “their wing” a bunch of cowards for not talking in public about doing acts of stochastic violence, and pondering why they don’t have more followers

there’s unfortunately a lot of cranks around lambda calculus and computability (specifically check out the Wikipedia article on hypercomputation and start chasing links; you’re guaranteed to find at least one aggressive crank editing their favorite grift into the less watched corners of the wiki), and a lot of them have TESCREAL roots or some ties to that belief cluster or to technofascism, because it’s much easier to form a computer death cult when your idea of computation is utterly fucked
