MSRP: Replace spacetime + Markov dynamics with something simpler that still predicts everything.
Diaphorum 1.5: Primitive Forms of Argument
Diaphorum 0: Feynman’s Markovian Spacetime Replacement Problem (MSRP)
Alright, you clowns. You've spent a hundred years polishing spacetime like it's some sacred crystal. Minkowski this, Markov that. But nature—real, messy, experimental nature—keeps coughing up data that doesn't fit your pretty, memoryless picture…
Diaphorum 1: The Riddle Underlying Math and Physics
Here we explore a hypothetical construct, the diaphorum, motivated by a playful challenge from theoretical physicists: can one imagine a structure so basic that geometry, causality, and quantum texture all emerge from it?
ADD the Beat: Accountability-Driven Development in an AI World
AI can generate code faster than any human I've met. But it often lacks what we might call EQ for engineering: it doesn't know when to stop, it forgets promises, it drifts from context. That's not malice--it's the nature of the tool. The burden falls back on us to create a structure where AI's speed doesn't outrun our ability to review.
IPFS Open Source Collaboration on a Mac
This tutorial guides technically sophisticated Mac users (not necessarily developers) through setting up a fully open-source, non-crypto toolchain for decentralized collaboration using IPFS.
Way Down Hadestown: Reconciliation for Our Liminal Age of AI?
If AI is the next Hadestown—efficient, secure, but potentially dehumanizing—then Orpheus is the mythmaker, the artist, the remixer. A reminder that we are still here, and that meaning can emerge even inside the machine.
Deaf Spots (ChatGPT on Y Combinator)
In a sense, that's exactly what we’re doing when we look for the most disruptive ideas: we’re searching for the fixed points in the system—the things it won’t change, can’t change, because everything else depends on them.
🧠🍻 Fireside Chat: Sam Altman, Tim O’Reilly & Elon Musk on AIGORA
Tim: > “AIGORA isn’t just a technical blueprint—it’s a moral imperative. We must design systems that reflect our highest values.”
“Mi MOSA 2040” (Retrospective on the Modular Open Systems Architecture)
I was there—on the drafting call, in the back corner of a drafty conference room in the Pentagon’s E-ring. And I’ll tell you something that never made it into the record: halfway through, one of the junior drafters—we called her LT—looked up and asked, “Wait… are we actually going to do this? Or is this just another polite lie we tell ourselves about interoperability?”
My Paradigm for AI in Education Was Wrong
Julia Freeland Fisher (on Class Disrupted) puts her finger on the real existential risk of AI: ensuring we prioritize human connection over simulated experiences.
