The conversation doesn’t always need to be, but sometimes having notes about what else you’ve considered when running experiments can be critical when looking back over time for example.

Often when you’re in the exploratory phase of a project you pursue many dead ends most of which don’t belong in a paper. Sometimes you run thousands of versions of the same experiment and you want to follow up on some observations.

oh yeah that makes sense — keeping the exploratory mess separate from the final thing. do you actually go back and look at those dead ends later or more just for peace of mind while working?

The beauty of using local LLMs for trying out lines of thought for research is that you can fork the conversation at any point and go on tangents.

You can’t easily do that in the web interfaces for Claude and the others without losing the history and if you use the API you’re paying by the token.

Might be a good vibe project to setup a way to preserve a conversation history tree with a way to link nodes via tags or other links - zettlekasten style.

If the world gets as bad as you think it will then we’ll look back and say these were the good days. You’ll wish you enjoyed them thoroughly.

If things turn out ok then you’ll look back and say you wish you didn’t spend so much time worrying.

In both cases you look back and regret not living in the moment. Every day is a gift if you can appreciate it.

That’s not to say don’t plan for the future or work to improve your situation; you still need to do the work. Just look for the beauty in things every chance you get.

Bitcoin has plenty of podcasts and podcasters but we’re missing a personality like Andreas Antonopolous.

He struck a good balance of explaining the tech, rejecting the banks and the state, and spoke in a way that normies could relate. He didn’t dilute the message or talk about price. He had charisma and was on a mission to make the system understandable by a wide audience.

We’re missing that voice in bitcoin now for the new recruits. Sure they can look up his old videos but they don’t get promoted for people to pick them up anymore.

I’m saying this because I’m hearing the same voices and same message on all the podcasts and it’s repetitive and diluted (for lack of a better word). The world is even more on fire than it was back in 2015-2017 and most of the talk these days is focused on fiat price action or SBR or other basic shit. Saylor is sucking the air out of the room.

We can do better. We should expect better. I’m working to orange pill my social network in the least cringe way but want to do better. I’m not doing enough. I don’t know where to go from here but now more than ever we need bitcoin and bitcoiners.

MCP isn’t directly competing with CLIs since the former is a protocol. You may want to run your agent in a distroless container without a shell but let it make HTTP requests to whitelisted endpoints for example. MCP is also a tool discovery protocol.
