Cool project. Call me pessimist but all of these workflow/scaffolding/hooks are being absorbed by the model makers like ChatGPT and Anthropic. In fact, my personal setup with Claude Code is somewhat similar to this setup, except I bend it in CLAUDE.MD

Interesting story! During my short stay at CERN, I lived in an apartment in Pays de Gex as well. Cycling across the border twice a day is fun! (The border is not very bike-friendly though)

I am doing this and it's fun! The only hassles I had are a. setting up DDNS (since I don't have a static IP) and b. getting a certificate from Let's encrypt with only port 443 open (80 is blocked by my ISP). But other than that, it has been great! Hopefully my ISP won't have a problem with that ;)

I just use a script on a cron that runs every 15 minutes and updates my DNS provider. And for let’s encrypt, I use the DNS verification method so you don’t have to even expose HTTP(S) ports if you don’t need to

I wrote a small go app[0] which is invoked every 15 minutes and updates the DNS through the cloudflare API. Its very specific for my use case and ISP but works well.

Cool! There's also certbot[0] and lego[1] which can do ACME-DNS with a range of providers beside CF. You could also do tls-alpn, which allows you to do do the challenger encrypted on another port. Sounds like DNS works fine for you, but it's primarily worth considering for those issuing certs for non-public names that shouldn't be broadcasted via public DNS.

> “Biological objects can have a complexity that cannot be simulated by a digital computer,” Austin says.

I couldn't find more details in the article. Any idea what those details that couldn't be simulated with digital computers (but could be with the simple robots) might be?

Same. Also the author mentioned peer review, is that available on substack?

It's available everywhere! You can just write something and ask your peers to review it.

The first issue was published today (Sep.3) so I thought this might be interesting.

> The network hash rate is only so high because the ROI is there, but without it, people would still be mining.

Can you expand on that? What would be the incentive for the miners then? What happens when all blocks are mined?

You never mine all the blocks, and regardless of the reward there is always a transaction fee which incentives mining.

Regardless though my point about space heaters was that 'being warm' is enough incentive for some people to mine crypto.

Sorry for not being clear, I meant when all 21 million bitcoins are mined. The transaction fee is pretty small compared to the reward from the new coin, right? Also, since many cryptos have addressed the incentive issue. Maybe let's just focus on bitcoin specifically?

If ROI goes down, fewer miners will mine. When all blocks are mined, transaction fees will be the main source of incentive to mine.
