Last Notes
A Letter from Ada Lovelace to the Future of Artificial Intelligence.
https://media.damagebdd.com/19a4a2ad1104c25ae0f99b2464f183f4e3dc4570f6a7cb70c8bd0dbc2007006d.jpg
October, 1843. An age when scientific ideas travelled by handwritten letters, across oceans and continents, carried by horses, ships and the postal service.
Imagine Ada Lovelace writing to her dear friend and mathematical mentor, Mary Somerville, about something that would not exist for nearly two centuries.
Elliptic Curve Artificial Intelligence (ECAI).
An intelligence that explores mathematical structures, navigates elliptic curve isogenies, discovers relationships and produces independently verifiable evidence of its reasoning.
Not merely a machine that generates convincing answers.
A machine whose mathematical claims can be examined, reproduced and challenged.
In this fictional correspondence, Ada makes an observation that resonates with the future of AI:
“The machine would not ask to be believed. It would invite examination.”
There is a beautiful symmetry here.
In Ada's century, scientific correspondence connected human minds across enormous distances.
In ours, mathematical correspondence may connect computational intelligence across distributed systems.
The medium changes. The requirement for proof does not.
This imagined letter is a tribute to the pioneers who understood that computation could transcend arithmetic.
And to the possibility that the next great advance in AI may come not from generating more answers, but from verifying them.
Soli probati supersunt.
Only the verified survive.

October, 1843
My dearest Mrs. Somerville,
I trust this letter finds you in good health and surrounded by those mathematical curiosities which have so often furnished our conversations with their greatest pleasure.
I write to you concerning an idea so extraordinary that I scarcely know whether it belongs to mathematics, philosophy, or some future science for which we have not yet invented a name.
You will recall our conversations concerning Mr. Babbage's Analytical Engine, and my conviction that numbers need not represent quantities alone, but may be employed to express relations, patterns, and even the operations of thought.
I have lately imagined something more curious still.
Consider a family of elliptic curves, each possessing its own mathematical character, yet connected to others by transformations of exquisite precision. These correspondences, which a future mathematician might call isogenies, permit one to travel between apparently distinct mathematical worlds whilst preserving essential structures.
What if an Engine could explore these correspondences?
Not merely calculate upon a curve, but discover a succession of transformations, distinguish valid passages from impossible ones, and furnish an exact account of every step undertaken.
I would call this imagined discipline Elliptic Curve Artificial Intelligence — ECAI.
Its distinguishing virtue would not be the imitation of human conversation, nor even the production of ingenious answers.
It would be the ability to accompany its discoveries with mathematical evidence.
Imagine, dear friend, an intelligence whose conclusions need not be accepted upon authority, whose reasoning may be retraced, whose transformations may be examined independently, and whose errors cannot conceal themselves behind eloquence.
The Engine would become not merely a calculator, but an explorer of mathematical possibility.
And every discovery would carry its own correspondence: a record of the paths taken, the relationships established, and the conditions by which its truth may be tested.
There is something profoundly beautiful in this arrangement.
For we ourselves conduct science through correspondence. Our letters travel considerable distances, sometimes taking weeks to reach their destination. Yet the propositions they contain remain independent of the speed of their carriage.
So too, I imagine, might a mathematical discovery pass between Engines separated by continents, its validity depending neither upon the reputation of its author nor the authority of its recipient.
The machine would not ask to be believed. It would invite examination.
Perhaps that is the highest ambition to which an Engine of Reason might aspire.
I suspect that generations yet unborn shall build such machines, and that they will discover in the ancient elegance of curves a new architecture for intelligence.
How strange it would be if the most sophisticated instruments of future thought were founded upon mathematical correspondences, just as the advancement of our present sciences depends upon these humble letters.
I remain, with the warmest admiration for your intellect and friendship,
Your affectionate friend and devoted student,
Augusta Ada Lovelace
P.S. — I cannot resist one final speculation: if every assertion of an Engine were accompanied by its own verification, might we not eventually construct a society of machines in which trust itself becomes a mathematical proposition?
Every growing community needs spaces where knowledge can be shared and curiosity can flourish. Wishing La Librería de Satoshi the best of luck with this initiative!
Building a stronger Bitcoin ecosystem takes more than technology and financial innovation. Education, knowledge sharing, and accessible learning resources are just as important. I hope this initiative gets the support it deserves. #note1cmv…65f9

if you read portuguese, go read manual do usuário by rodrigo ghedin. honestly one of the best tech blogs in brazil.
here the indie web / small web / decentralization crowd is tiny. most tech coverage is gadget launches and "10 apps you need". rodrigo writes about "vida digital saudável" (healthy digital life): getting your email out of gmail and outlook, blocking roku from his own network to save an old roku express from enshittification, calling out the ai hype without sounding like a grumpy uncle.
it also has a real community. a weekly open thread where the comments are the post. a section where readers show off their phone home screens. it feels like a 2008 blog in the best possible way, run by someone who actually cares.
we need more of this down here.

Africa is final stop destination or edge destination because you can't just match to another country and go there within an hour.
Even to go to Zimbabwe or something like that would take 2/3 hours by plane
Also, we tend to have clearer and cleaner skies
More birds than planes for sure

Mastery starts with imitation and discipline
I have witnessed and heard from colleages and acqs so many things and testimonials about malfeasance in hiring and the near total skillessness of h1b's (read : indians) that I have no hesitation in believing stuff like this i read. Regular joes that were instructed to train and coach their eventual replacements that were brainless and incapable with none of the skills their supposed diplomas said they had.
Every company that let these supremely ethnochauvenist browns in while the C suite and their cockslobbering whores in HR disregarded every fucking of their "diversity principles" the rest of us have been raped with corporate policy for a decade deserve to go down in flames. Microsoft, Tesla, Adobe, IBm, all of then.
now if only we could somehow burn all the ill gotten stock wealth the career criminals accumulated on the way, there would be some justice done..

Exactly. And they trying to say no planes flying?
Why I love Caravaggio 🖤🎨

I wonder if Denny’s has a plaque dedicated to me at the first restaurant I ever ate at? 😂
Everyone is outside braaing and enjoying the fire.
Mud huts with grass roofs.
Wooden tools and utensils.
Few,

Europe looks so big and yet it's insanely tiny in comparison to Africa.
The process of Antonio Reiné sculpting form into wood is utterly mesmerizing.

Ya that's the new policies on these stores. And other stores even for gaming.
It's at a visa/MasterCard level actually.
So any client on one of those stores will most likely be bound to that regulations.
Just use poster.place
The world never stopped being beautiful. We just stopped paying attention. 🌍✨

It's strange because twitter is on the stores and that's unhinged so?
