Why wouldn't someone just do this with their brain?


I was going to add to your comment with some snarky rejoinder like "brain, is that a new agent from OpenAI?" or "we are all vibecoders now" or simply "ain't nobody got time for that".

But then I got to wondering about the OP's statement that they would specifically like someone to create this with AI. It strikes me both as silly as saying "if you're good at using Visual Studio, could you do this?", because AI tools are just tools now, and those who want to use them don't need to be prompted... but also somehow fundamentally different.

OP, what was on your heart that caused you to phrase it that way?


I think it's phrased that way because he's saying it would be great to have as long as you don't spend too much time on it. Doing it by hand would probably not be worth it, but if a tool can do it, then it's worth it.


I'm still busy building my ox-bike wagon. Soon I'll start pedaling around the country offering tea, and hand written (my brain to my keyboard ™) software.


This is because gyroscopic forces are not significant except at high speed, and most of the forces relevant to cycling and which direction the bicycle goes are generated between the front tire and road surface. Turning the handlebars to change direction is also only relevant at low speed for the same reason.


The whole thing is full of speling and grammar errors. The author desperately needs a copy editor.


I can't really see how a craptocurrency attached to a messenger provides any sort of pseudonymity. If I can send money to you, I can later identify you in a ledger, which simply means I need to find some reason to converse with you and it's game over. If the ledger isn't public, you're back under corporate or Government control.


Signal does not require KYC, so there is no direct link there. As far as public ledgers are concerned, pseudonymous activity offers reasonable privacy controls as long as you know what you are doing.

There are also entirely anonymous cryptocurrencies with no readable public ledgers. Everything is still decentralised, no centralised control of any kind, but you can't see what people are doing (Monero and Zcash being good examples. Signal uses Mobilecoin, which still needs to stand the test of time).

There is still a long road to go before there is a fool proof anonymous, liquid, consumer friendly, usable cryptocurrency, but it is the last bastion of defense against complete total state and corporate surveillance. - One of the greatest threats to human life, on par with climate change.

Your use of the word "craptocurrency" is rather childish and naive. Eventually you will take a closer look at the situation and reconsider. Good luck

Is this related to dombox.com? They may not appreciate you muscling in on their business.


No it's not. They just own the domain. They provide the regular mail service to businesses. Mine is a new invention.


Is AWS not cloud-based any more?


Just curious how far they're extending this logic.


More likely that it generates a massive amount of wideband noise that happens to be modulated at 120Hz in this case.


Tell me more about this bacon mining.


I’m interested too- it sounds like something I might try this morning...


I can only assume this guy wears The Breeches Of Trust


They owed me, unless you are them.


Cheers. Whilst entirely off topic, as a Norwegian expat in an English speaking country I do appreciate the correction. :) I found https://writingexplained.org/me-vs-myself-difference which was a nice explanation.
