extended from “Make” as a static site generator (2022)“ - https://www.karl.berlin/static-site.html

People are really into using static site generators because they’re fast, low-maintenance, and easy to host. They’re pretty versatile too. For my blog, I discovered that crafting my own simple script was less time-consuming and felt more fulfilling than tweaking an existing platform to fit my needs. Now, I’m working on a project that doesn’t require bells and whistles like RSS feeds or auto-updated timestamps, so I can opt for an even more basic setup.

Basic setup
To get the site into a working state, I require the following functionality:

All input files reside in the source directory, in the same layout as I want them in the output.
During processing, add a header to all HTML files.
Copy all other files to the build directory as they are.
Each of these points results in one rule in the...

The age of content abundance has arrived. With the rapid advancement of
artificial intelligence, it is now possible to generate a wide variety of content with ease. From blog posts and speeches to music and images, AI is able to produce high-quality content at a rate that was once unimaginable.

However, as a result of this content abundance, the value of certain types of content has been commoditized. It is now relatively easy to produce well-written blog posts or catchy music, but the things that currently stand out as more complex and valuable are truth, meaning, storytelling, wisdom, and knowledge.

DeepMind, the leading AI research company, is making significant progress in the field of generative truth and knowledge. The company has developed an AI system that can predict the structure of proteins, a task that was once considered one of the most complex problems in...

On August 23, 1897, a letter to the editor in the New York Times responded to the idea of owning a car:

Sensitive and sentimental folk cannot view the pending change without conflicting emotions. There are reasons why the departure of the horse from the streets and the park drives should be considered gratifying. But it must be confessed that he will take with him a kind of picturesqueness which the self-motivating wagon will never supply. Moreover, man loves the horse, and he is not likely ever to love the automobile …....

The tale of woe about the harm Bitcoin does to the environment from many a “concern merchant” is built on such a thin veneer that I thought it would be gone by now. The fact that this meme still propagates has driven me to write a post that I can reference such that I can contain it in a tweet every time the issue arises.

In simple terms the argument goes like this.

• Bitcoin is an energy intensive industry that uses polluting energy
• Bitcoin creates no value (at least so little that it does not justify the environmental collateral damage it causes)
• Bitcoin miners should either voluntarily stop, be forced to stop, or the Proof of Work algorithm should be changed to something more environmentally friendly
• Due to the above, it is immoral to mine Bitcoin and accelerate Earth towards catastrophic climate change.

The argument fundamentally misses that the method of energy production is the...

Recently I received a deluge of criticism for the statement “If you understand Bitcoin then you support Universal Basic Income”. This statement was seemingly obvious but was derided as being moronic and non-sequitur. Even when prefaced with the statement that those that are against Universal Basic Income (UBI) generally don’t understand economics or money. The sequential logic here being Bitcoin relates to understanding money relates to understanding economics relates to economic policy = UBI.

The general concept of money has ben confused with wealth, currency, and even dollars. Fortunately our language distinguishes between these concepts, even if the meanings of the words has blurred into each other. Wikipedia does a pretty good job of defining it;

“Money is any item or verifiable record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a...
