Lambda Rick (Ben Rayfield) on the future of computing and freedom on the internet

The Paleo Cyborg Podcast

Lambda Rick joins me for episode 3 of the Paleo Cyborg Podcast to talk about All Things great and small A must-listen for anyone who cares about the future of computing and the internet 🛜 So many topics were covered that I put the Show Notes in order to read as you listen to the episode with links to Ben Rayfield’s social media twitter and GitHub https://twitter.com/benrayfield https://memecombinator.io/ https://twitter.com/wikibinator Augmented reality https://humanai.net/phonegame/ play it now with your webcam and your tennis ball in hand. Here's the longterm link https://github.com/benrayfield/augmentedballs/ and heres a video about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8_TBtBHGMM Get code button and dags for coin Gitcoin Iota combinator Wikibinator Large or small bit strings https://twitter.com/wikibinator/status/1640129155579748354 “Universal combinator that makes copies of itself run Linux or windows" -- thats not something i actually expect it to do, just saying any model of computing could do this Lambdas in an email that are sandboxed Conway game of life simulating conways game of life (someone else’s video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP5-iIeKXE8 Stack on a computer have called earlier share branches Main use case: endless Augmented reality Build new parts of the world in the world without recompiling and using a outside expert GPU drivers Normie use drag and drop demo is online now at http://memecombinator.io/Wikibinator203DragAndDropTree.html and the more longterm link to it is https://github.com/benrayfield/wikibinator203. Decentralized AgPL3 license 🪪 solves the TiVo-ization problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tivoization “tivoization is about using opensource in hardware that only accepts 1 certain fork of it” (see additional appendix at bottom for additional notes) not sure if it solved that or not Simulation hypothesis 15,000-dimensions Bayesian Uncertainty blob gray quasi-crystal Rule 110 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_110 Mathematical Universe Hypothesis MUH Rubix Cube particle Copenhagen Interpretation Everettian interpretation Superpositioning moon 🌚 Recursive lambdas copy paste into a social network Link into Ruliad Turing complete program sharing Increasing dunbars Number P2P dag infrastructure GPU-hungry GPU drivers -- CUDA is controlled by Nvidia and has become a political pawn with export bans on some of the faster GPUs that can run it. I prefer OpenCL and browser GLSL, such as GPU.js compiles a subset of javascript to GLSL in browser to use GPU. https://github.com/gpujs/gpu.js FOUNDATION. Additional appendix notes: “Time doesnt exist, but is often a good local approximation. This can be seen in wikibinator as the order of calculations has no effect.” for example, in the S lambda λx.λy.λz.xz(yz) you can do xz first or yz first or both at once, and it makes no difference, then whatever those return xz is called on yz. This will be useful in reducing lag, since it doesnt have to wait on the order of things AGPL3 license 🪪 solves the TiVo-ization problem" ...not sure if thats true. i said instead right after that it solves the problem of... as it says in the AGPL3 license [[[ A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they receive widespread use, become available for other developers to incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about. The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its source code to the public. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source code of the modified version.]]]
