Exactly. It’s not a valid statistical inference unless it requires Cauchy’s integral theory theorem to calculate a result.

the next time someone angrily calls you out for saying some erroneous shit, just reply "sorry, but I think the world is desperate for more storytelling right now". then the person will be mad with you for totally new reasons.

Hall of fame streak of Ls by JD Vance this month:
- internally campaigns against pointless war in Iran; war happens anyway
- gets sent to Hungary to campaign for a loser authoritarian, who loses the SUPERMAJORITY
- gets sent to Pakistan to fix the mistakes of a war he didn’t want to start; fails

“Did you hear they figured out who Satoshi is??”

Oh wow, so they got it verified through encryption? He moved coins?

“…no”

Oh, then surely he was able to sign something cryptographically that proved he was Satoshi?

“…no”

It wasn’t just some bullshit language and time zone study, was it?

It is not so much that Bitcoin is vulnerable to quantum computers, but rather it must carefully navigate the Strait of Shor’s Muse

The expected emergence of cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) will represent
a singular discontinuity in the history of digital security, with wide ranging impacts. This whitepaper
seeks to elucidate specific implications that the capabilities of developing quantum architectures have
on blockchain vulnerabilities and potential mitigation strategies. First, we provide new resource
estimates for breaking the 256-bit Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem over the secp256k1
curve, the core of modern blockchain cryptography. We demonstrate that Shor’s algorithm for this
problem can execute with either ≤ 1200 logical qubits and ≤ 90 million Toffoli gates or ≤ 1450
logical qubits and ≤ 70 million Toffoli gates. In the interest of responsible disclosure, we use a zero-
knowledge proof to validate these results without disclosing attack vectors. On superconducting
architectures with 10−3 physical error rates and planar connectivity, those circuits can execute in
minutes using fewer than half a million physical qubits. We introduce a critical distinction between
“fast-clock” (such as superconducting and photonic) and “slow-clock” (such as neutral atom and ion
trap) architectures. Our analysis reveals that the first fast-clock CRQCs would enable “on-spend”
attacks on public mempool transactions of some cryptocurrencies. We survey major crypto…

it's crazy to me that video podcasts existed 21 years ago on iTunes via simple RSS publishing. glad it's back in Apple's walled garden but man.

(I know because I published one of the first video podcasts that was available there)
