Surprise AMA 02/09/2021

hi this is charles hoskinson broadcasting live from warm sunny colorado it is 9 47 at night i'm in my night yukata i love this thing used to live in japan in osaka beautiful place a little place in himachi walk down the arcade go to namba japan's a special place i figured i'm back from florida i'm feeling good feeling healthy and i wanted to do an ama because it has been too long since i've had the opportunity to interact and talk to you guys and gals all the fans of cardano first order of business i have a new thing here let me show you guys how about that what do you guys think it is any guesses show and tell is fun isn't it this is a shakuhachi flute just got it it's an absolutely beautiful instrument made from a single piece of bamboo cut in all the right ways and it is just extraordinary i have no clue how to play it but what something so beautiful you have to learn how to because sometimes art necessitates form in form necessitates art anyway it's been a long month already we've been busy all of us been busy markets have been busy developers have been busy industry's been busy tesla just announced that they've taken a 1.5 billion dollar position in bitcoin apple's probably going to follow suit and the whole industry is going to move in that particular direction it's gonna be a lot of fun and what's happening is that i think there's a degree of inevitability in our industry that we never had before and as a consequence i think that cryptocurrency is not only here to stay but it's becoming increasingly clear that monetary policy is failing the reality is that governments are printing trillions of dollars the reality is national debts are all-time highs we have negative interest rates in many places and every institution is starting to lose legitimacy little by little by little by little and what that effectively means is that people are looking for escape valves used to be gold back in the day but bitcoin has become that and bitcoin is the gateway drug of our industry once they're in bitcoin they say well wait a minute we need to diversify we need to do different things and that's going to bring so much money into the cryptocurrency space and what does it mean when fortune 500 companies have taken positions what that means is those fortune 500 companies well they're going to become very pro crypto and that means regulations have to be appropriate though because the government is run by fortune 500 companies let's be honest about it and what does that mean for us it means that we can continue the work the mission unimpeded as the dog barks the caravan moves on especially that one over there yeah and i'm proud of that i'm proud of the inevitability i'm proud of this industry and i'm proud of the fact that it feels stronger and stronger and more and more real day by day now as for cardano we've written 95 papers now and for all of you in the industry say we're just a white paper do what a white paper is do what a scientific paper is no you don't nothing your children and what as you dabble incoherently into the wind we've been building we've been building and building and building relationships we've been building networks we've been building community we have been building momentum we have been building technology and this is the year where we start turning on all of that stuff this is the year where we start having rubber hit the road where we actually start seeing the fruits of our labors in reality and market and the market's starting to wise up to that ecosystem starting to wise up to that they're realizing that there's an inevitability behind cardano that not only are we here to stay we're going to make a very big impact and put a big [ __ ] debt in the universe because we earned it through years of hard work we earned it through so much effort we earned it by sticking around through the hard times when other people didn't we earned it by not taking shortcuts we earned it by doing it the hard way because it was the necessary way because others couldn't or were unwilling and unable to get there and i'm proud of that always been proud of that and i'm proud of you the community and i'm proud of what we've built and the relationships we have so this is going to be a good month a little bird told me that let's see how accurate that bird is sometimes bird's a little late but this one i think is going to be coming on time and it'll be very fun to see what that news is can't say much more than that i wish i could that said i can't answer your questions as long as you're reasonable ones and that's what we do that's the point of amas how about that so let's get to your questions [Music] hi charles watching from cold norway keep up the good work many of my grandparents were norwegian on my father's mother's side father's half norwegian my i'm a quarter and my grandmother was a hundred percent and her grandmother well her mother actually and and dad both came from norway they were sheepherders and farmers and the fjords they hated the nazis so they went and killed them for a few years and lived in ice caves then went back to sheep herding i [ __ ] love norway it's a beautiful country and i'm glad we have a norwegian community it's also a country that understood how to invest they have the largest sovereign wealth fund by population density in the world and that 2 trillion dollars is a good investment hi charles when will cardano come to japan well we're already in japan more than half of our communities japanese i will come to japan as for ada getting listed in japan that's going to get done one way or another i don't care if i have gold up the prime minister we'll get it done i'm not going to let that one go it's deeply personal to me charles we want cardone greece as a currency i'm sure my chief scientist does as well and we have great relationships there we have a lab at university of athens an office in athens and we are definitely going to do more greek projects i love greece any place you got good food and good weather i'm there hi charles how was ethiopia i've been there many times we have an office there we have an office in addis ababa and actually we're just about to open a bigger office with singularitynet because ben actually has an office there too and and we want to get some peanut butter and that jelly i think there's great synergies there and we have very close relationships with the ethiopian government ethiopian companies and perhaps we have something to be said about those relationships at some arbitrary point in the future so love ethiopia i will be this year in ethiopia if i'm allowed to travel it's hard to know with covid do you need safe spaces for conferences like andreas i'm not aware of andreas doing a safe space you guys have to tell me the story i know antonopoulos but and i know he's a little liberal but i wasn't aware that he went all the way to safe spaces so you guys you guys got to tell me that you got to give me the reference what should the guy with two passwords left do that's stefan thomas the former cto of ripple he has over 200 million dollars locked in an iron key an iron key is a specialized usb flash drive and basically if you enter the password wrong ten times the drive will self-destruct and destroy all of its contents it'll erase everything there and it everything goes in is encrypted with aes256 and they give them the army rangers and so forth they're very very secure fips 192 compliant cryptographic devices so stefan put a huge sum of bitcoin of the private keys for them on the iron key and he forgot the password he's entered it wrong eight times and he only has two tries left and he's just sitting there staring at it now wasn't such a drama queen about it there's a guy named mordecai who's over in israel who specializes in private data data exfiltration and is an expert breaching trusted hardware i guarantee you an israeli team with the proper incentives and their domain expertise probably can figure out a way to extract information out of an iron key you don't even have to risk the iron key in question you just buy that make and model from that year put bitcoin private keys on it that are empty because it's one it's the same concept and basically validate that they can break that and spend the small account there as proof concept and once they've done that and repeated it maybe 10 times you'd have enough confidence in it to be able to get that 200 million dollars on the key it is a great fun paper for graduate students and an easy thing to do and i told stefan because i know that i'd be happy to make the introductions and help them out but he never replied must be the ripple syndrome he's a nice guy i had good conversation with him in the past especially about codius he was the guy who created that what did you do in florida it was part of a experimental medical treatment where i got exosomes injected in me and it was part of a regenerative medicine treatment and the hypothesis is that it can slow down the aging process it's kind of a mad scientist experiment and several other people have participated and i'm taking a battery of tests and six months we'll see if my biological age has been reduced and i will let the cool things you can do i feel younger sir a lot younger maybe i can do something about the hairline too that's when i've gone crazy if my hair regrows hi charles how's the teleprism coming on schedule on target scaling up in georgia scaling up in ethiopia we're doing some good stuff when will parameter d equals zero march 31st at the current rate i wish you were here too i don't understand how people can call you a scammer charles everybody's called a scammer elon musk is called the scandal steve jobs is called a scammer bill gates is called the scam they're all scammers right because that's a label that people want to use they want to label your work a scam until it's not and then they trivialize it some other way that's on them it's not on me my life is great i love my life and what people are sharing in our success and that's the point true greatness is not what you do for yourself it's what you do for others and if you can find a way to create a system where many others can benefit from the things you do the most successful man in the world you probably don't even know his name was norman brawn he saved 1 billion lives 1 billion how many people talk about them it's not about your notoriety and fame it's about what you do he was an expert in fertilizer and growing techniques he went all around the world and taught all these developing world nations how to grow their crops properly that alone massively increased yields and a billion people didn't starve to death over his lifetime who would have had he not existed there's no other human that saved his many lives good old doorman why are you such a legend i am not i didn't mean to push that terrence mckenna fan i will be in my 40s that's a 40s thing i was looking for another question and this chat's moving so quickly brazil congratulate you obregado thank you thank you thank you do you believe in the fibonacci retracement in charts no it's only useful for modeling rabbit populations hi charles have you been to the philippines before yes mostly manila but i have family and friends in cebu and mindanao and my uncle is married to a filipino woman he lives in hawaii charles have you ever considered bringing a surprise guest for an ama i have and i may have a surprise for you guys at the end of this ama we'll see if it works everyone be careful of scams on social media yeah that's a good point so what we're planning on doing is i'm gonna have a meeting with all of our security guys this week and we're going to come up with some form of a scam squad and i might hire a full-time dedicated person who does nothing but due diligence scam and investing a former fbi guy or something like that and what we're going to try to do is go talk to all the other top 10 cryptocurrencies top 15 cryptocurrencies and see if we can create an industry-wide messaging and basically say hey these are the common scams that occur and broadcast as aggressively as we can about these scams and also i'm going to talk to some lawyers and see if we can set up some form of class action incentive the reality is that youtube is complicit google is complicit many of these platforms are complicit they're profiting from these scams this is why steve wozniak is suing them ripple is doing them and so forth i see ads for giveaway videos of me that are fake and tons of hack channels and these algorithms can be used to de-platform people and are but for some reason they'd rather do that and censor certain speech than censor outright scams that defraud people when all giveaways are always scams okay i would rather ban legitimate giveaways out of an abundance of caution that allow the millions of giveaways that have happened over the years from continuing to happen they're always scams always will be scams you don't get something for nothing and i don't know how to communicate we say it and say it and say it and it's heartbreaking the emails i get i get these people sometimes older and they email me saying i sent five thousand ada to this address you told me to and how come you haven't sent it back yet can you please help and i reply back and i say you've been scammed and they're just feel horrible and ashamed what tell anybody about it because it's so terrible and humiliating it has to stop and our industry has to do some work and the social media companies have to do some work and we need to figure this out so i'm going to be having some meetings this week about it i'm very upset about it and i'm getting tired of getting these emails it's not a kimono it's a yukata there's a difference hi charles how's the mary test net going it is on schedule marching marching marching marching to a february hard four combinator event and what an hfc event is it is you don't got to do anything except for installing new software that's it how about that we're giving a knighthood charles or charles hoskinson now someone said you're united no that's what the british do to other british i'm american we we kind of had gotten a little tussle with the british back in the day so we don't have titles we don't have sir we don't have royalty we don't the king we don't have a queen our head estate is a president not her majesty it was a bit of a disagreement in the 18th century but what we patched things up in the middle of the 19th century we gave them a ship back they gave us a desk it's in the white house it's called the resolute desk it's all patched up charles have you received the covet vaccine no i have not yet because i'm ineligible i'm 33 years old very healthy feeling great filled with exosomes and i am the last on the list to get it but i will and it's an interesting question which one i think of all of them the one i'd probably be most comfortable taking is the novofax vaccine and the data is very promising that said all of them look pretty good dad and brother both received the pfizer vaccine both doses second ones were tough but they got through it just took about two days that's that [Music] have you ever done cocaine late into the night while eating a full family of salmon i know a bear that did that had unbearable sense of humor i'm sorry charles i thought you were 52 years old the first time i saw you yeah that's what all the girls say a very important question how is fred twice the size from when you saw her every now and then she'll drop by [Music] good day from australia are you been mate cheers from chile greetings from russia charles charles charles you and papa elon are my favorite well grandfather nurgles mine when will daedalus support multicoins coming to a flight near you if not this month then next month for flight and we'll see how it goes for everything else fast fast fast i keep whipping darko he works hard we'll get there charles what's your skin care soap lava soap extra coarse hey to penn c when one-to-many delegation second quarter and it's going to come with hybrid wallets as well we had an option to do it this quarter but if we did it this quarter then native multi asset would slip and we'd have a little bit of trouble getting all of the wallet and dataless stuff for smart contract integration so i figured that was slightly more important it'd be nice to get hybrid wallets in one to many but those are nice to have whereas smart contracts and native assets are a must-have do you meditate daily i should but i don't yet but i will thoughts on simulation theory i'll get back to you next time our questions are inherently unreasonable charles but is charles reasonable if your questions are are they are they not i don't know [Music] this is my pimp hand so you got to have a pimp finger right slap that was the wayne brady what did the five hands say to the face come on guys dave chappelle it's amazing rick james i missed that show i truly do alright here charles can you talk about auroboris omega yes omega is the culmination of all of our research of the last six years for orophorus no reliance on external clock self-healing so it can gradually recover 51 attacks the ability to bootstrap from genesis semi-synchrony adaptive security instant finality all kinds of [ __ ] little multi-validation per block oh my god there's so much stuff yeah so using things the consensus redux paper the ledger combiners paper the chronos paper the genesis paper the profs paper and then all the theory and then some of the engineering acumen including an improvement to about a thousand tps so a lot of stuff whole presentation and we i will leave that for agulos to announce but we wanted to do a little sneak peek the scientist is super excited about it we're going to keep working to get genesis done and then after genesis is done the second half of this year we will talk about omega the protocol to end all protocols and you guys will love it hi charles will age usd launch simultaneously with gogen i'm going to see if we can do an age usd port when we launch the plutus test net after we do native assets and we already have a plutus implementation of the hesd design so there's a lot to discuss we're right now doing a lot of legal and regulatory work as well but it's definitely a very high priority of mine because it's interconnected with what we'd like to do for the next generation of cardona and it's very important to pull those things together but it's great to see it on our go it's great to see the work that's been done there and we do have a pluto's version of it to be run which inevitably would be changed again and again and again when are you coming to town hall i don't know let me see here there we go does that focus the camera no maybe i gotta download the camera software how about that namaste charles very proud to be part of the cardano community well we are very glad to have you mahesh since 2017 that's a long time how does google allow fake dental's wallet to be in the play store without any verification you tell me i don't know either this is just another example they're more than comfortable taking legitimate businesses out there more comfortable deep platforming people but when it comes to outright scams that are defrauding people and hurting people and stealing their money especially vulnerable people they can give a [ __ ] about it breaks my heart it's horrible and it's an example of an uncaring monopoly and that's what happens with monopolies government and private they become uncaring have you ever found yourself under the stars wondering what lengths you would go to avoid a life of prostitution it sounds a deeply personal question there nicholas anything you

cheesecake well pie is very diverse and much more diverse than cheesecake even though is a lot of cheesecake the set of all pies is larger than the set of cheesecakes and therefore i have to go with pie is cheesecake a type of pie i'm not sure [Music] charles how do you avoid ever getting burnt out how do you balance your work and your family time at home when so much is going on three things one you have to find a way to de-stress every day meditation isolation tanks exercise whatever the hell it is there must be some ritual that you perform that takes it from here down to here lowers the adrenaline lowers the fight or flight gets rid of the stress okay that's the first one second you have to understand that whatever happens in that horrible world out there no matter how [ __ ] up and bad it is it has to stay out there and when you come home you leave your problems at the door like your shoes you take them off leave them there don't want to get mud in the house don't bring your problems home with you harder said than done and i seldom do it well but it is something to always aspire to and three slow it down everything in life goes at 150 miles an hour if you let it or five miles an hour if you let it so slow it down so don't take your problems home find a ritual to de-stress and slow everything down a little bit the slow way is the fast way it's one of the most valuable lessons i've ever learned and i'm every day working to internalize it you would not believe how much work you can get done once you start looking at things methodically and not rushing and really approaching it in a systematic really thoughtful way so much in life can be accomplished hmm thoughts on the mandalorian star wars right you start with a space western and go from there and understand the milliere of the world is something the audience loves it's not about politics it's not about introducing the problems of our lives and trying to make a social commentary on them it's about the fact that we'd like to escape into a world we've never seen an experience we've never had but bring familiarity into standard tropes and then spin them on their heads just a little bit and add a space wizard every now and then there we go from black star great album favorite video game of all time favorite video game of all time is arcanum it's the greatest game ever made what are you going on the lex friedman podcast i just watched a wonderful lex friedman podcast while on the plane ride flying over from florida to colorado he had this gallon named eugena and she's russian as well and she used to be a journalist now she's an entrepreneur and she runs the company replicate a replicant or something like that and she had a dear friend who died in a tragic accident it was a hit and run when he was crossing a crosswalk in moscow in 2015 and so she decided to create a company that basically is copying rudy rucker's business model of the the life box and the seashell and so forth and he she's basically trying to create replicants of people as chat bots and you talk to them and they remind you of people i would love to take that business model and connect it to the nft market and then we can do an ai thing where people can interact and train a custom bot that's totally unique and then turn it into a token and then you can own the rights to that and you can only interact with it and token is the code for the the gears of the system so there's got to be some way of creating a unique chat bot and an nft together and tokenizing and selling it for collectibles and they'll have their own personalities and people can create them and for example i could take a bot and have elon musk interact with it for a month and then that's the elon musk chatbot and there's only one of them and there's only one parameterization and the primarization is hidden maybe that works you got to talk to ben about that we got to bend that [ __ ] we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna throw some agi on that still working with wolfram yes sir we're doing work every day would you go on rogan rogan after gogan that's the maybe baby of our industry horse tooth or red feather legs red feather legs oh my god you put your [ __ ] profile picture the safe in my office the safe in my office is actually empty i have this fantasy that someone will like have this daring robbery break into my office and open the safe and be like ha ha and then find it's completely empty that is the most trolly thing to do yeah and it didn't suspect the blue office decoy safe did you save box charlie did you yeah went book working on it working on it come on now let's see if we can get that refocused i forgot to download the damn logitech software this is a brio it should auto focus but it's not focusing the camera a focus charles thoughts on the brave browser i am a user of the brave browser love the brave browser it's a good product like bats good idea can't wait to use it hi i am a mathematician but from slovakia can i work for you somehow well crotchco 252 what field of mathematics what anime have you watched i don't know sailor moon full metal alchemist naruto lisa ann or julia anne i have no idea who you're talking about sir sir i just do not understand why you're trying to offend my phenom sensibilities with these names of people i've never heard of there we go how's the wikipedia drama going we won i got a page cardo's got a page seems like that squeaky wheel got some grease [Music] did you watch he-man as a kid see how you can answer a question was just a sound if person is familiar with the source material we call contextual conveyance [Music] when will your twitter get verified when i buy twitter charles what are your thoughts on diversity listen and it comes to you that's all i really got to do i mean diversity is an extension of empathy and your ability to understand the world around you so if all you look for is your own ideas and your own opinion sound of your own voice every person you hire and you interact with in some way is either a reflection of you or a validator of you true diversity is the ability to extend yourself beyond yourself and realize that there are people who exist with different values and differences of opinion that's the beginning of diversity the diversity of thought and ideas and it just so happens that people of different cultures genders races and geographies are the ones who will likely be because of where it comes from the most radically diverse from you so if you learn to love and embrace differences of opinion values and ideas and bring them closer to you then somehow your company starts looking quite diverse and you start hiring a very eclectic group of people from all over the place the head of for example the italia prism project is from zambia and he's half african half indian and he speaks five languages he lives in germany and south africa and zimbia us everywhere and that's just one person we have dozens of interesting people all around and we look for that because there's so much there in the culture the idea the approach the merging of worlds and the internal merging of things that's how you achieve true diversity but you can only achieve it through the ability to love the differences and learn to listen and accept that your own ideas are seldom the best ideas it's only in the merger of many ideas that you can achieve that that is the first path on the path that's the first step on the path to diversity quotas will never get you there because that's like saying the government has now mandated that we must listen and respect each other okay a teacher telling the class kids you must all now get along no bullying and no hazing you must all now not be children and be emotionally mature and take your roles seriously but it doesn't happen have to grow they have to learn they have to evolve you have to understand the folly of the ways then you achieve wisdom hmm favorite

ass yes see finally people understand tom brady is tom brady because he's a product of good science and good conditioning training all these other quarter john elway brett favre they just burned themselves to the ground they really did not condition themselves and what brady discovered is a way of undoing or delaying the profound damage that both age and football does to you and as a consequence he's able to extend the amount of time he's at all time great and he keeps getting more experience the guy does three hours of brain training and mental conditioning and biofeedback every day sits in an isolation tank every day it does hyperbaric therapy every day has some weird 80 alkaline 20 acidic diet that follows caloric restriction and immune fasting super massages like 400 different supplements he wrote a [ __ ] book about it in 2017. he is a machine and he's the most disciplined man of all time like david goggins can throw a football or something like that and this is brady because he knows that if he does this for a few more years not only is he the all-time greatest he is unassailably the all-time greatest he'll be the the greatest of the greatest of the greatest and of course to his enemies they they just hate him he's the malacca of malaccas how is duncan doing duncan's doing good right now working on the network stack a lot of stuff there favorite scientists we have to categorize them my favorite physicist does feynman and you will read the book surely you're joking mr feynman and you understand why messi or cr7 you even honestly have to ask that question it's messy any skepticism on covet being a natural zoonotic virus i think it perhaps could have been but i firmly believe it was collected in the field brought to a lab for study because they've been doing that for 17 years one of the lab techs contracted it and had an asymptomatic or mild case and then went around got breakfast or dinner or something or lunch and spread it to people that's my belief are you a top shagger that's not shacky carpet this is the this is the light stuff i don't have those thick shaggy carpets i'm not an orgy guy i don't multitask charles can you redo the whiteboard video now that we've come so far i'm going to make a new one for cardano 2025. it's going to be good too i'm going to do it in hagaromo chalk you guys are going to love it it's going to be great we'll do an 8k we'll buy a phantom camera [Music] can you burn some ada yes sir i can burn yours you first you go burn yours and come back and tell us about the experience spread a whole blog post about it is belief a design failure no no no belief is what makes the human race go around you have to motivate people to go do crazy [ __ ] and the only way you can do that is through some sort of bizarro belief structure invented or otherwise godzilla versus king kong godzilla always godzilla i watched every godzilla movie every single one of them all the men in lizards i had them on vhs i bought them at far more for 99 cents a tape the whole series all the way from king of monsters to 1985 godzilla and a lizard suit new ones are weird i don't understand them you should sit with dave chappelle and talk about society yeah we should do that and that would be the most awesome thing ever ever thoughts on the dollar falling makes me sad sad panda [Music] if you weren't working on cardano what else would you love to work on i work on all the things i love to work on i'm doing mathematical research again it's great we're actually getting lean community and we're going to start translating math into something computers can understand doing pl research we're writing programming languages it's great doing video games even starting to get into anti-aging and understand more about that industry doing mushrooms and actually i have a beautiful idea for bioluminescent plants so yeah doing all the things i want to do and there are many more but all that to it one of these days i'll race cars that'll be fun how can i apply to work at cardano if you want to work for the protocol then idea scale project catalyst google that learn about it plot and tell us what you want to do see if the community will agree go for it favorite mathematical problem those who know me will know the answer to this the goldbach conjecture my absolute favorite problem the collapse conjecture is pretty cool too so i'll show you guys that one how about that let's see here whiteboard there we go see if there's anything on it you always have to erase this because i might have some bird talk on my whiteboard oh i did oh my god it was it was filled with bird stuff so yeah okay screen share here we go there we go boom can everybody see my screen well [ __ ] it if you can you can all right here's my screen so the glass conjecture basically says that if you take an even number so that's a number that's divisible by two if n is even you divide it by two and if n is odd then you times it by three and you add one and the conjecture is that if you develop a sequence of these so you start somewhere that eventually that sequence will terminate and repeat so it's finite so in other words for all of these sequences this is equal to some n where n is natural numbers so they're not incident they're not divergent okay so let's do a number for example choose an n so let's choose one it's one even or odd it is odd so we times it by three and we add one so now you get four it's four even or odd you get two two goes to one one goes back to one right so your sequence is one four two and this is called a hailstone sequence those who want to know the parlance okay so what you're really saying and this is a kind of an equivalent statement about it is that if you look at powers of two if you get stuck on a power of two like four is two to the second power basically what will happen is you'll just keep subtracting all the way until you get two to the zero and then one goes back to two to the two so you'll start at some arbitrary place we'll call this z and you're gonna ping-pong around and the question is that as z tends towards infinity is it the case that at some point in that sequence that you're going to get to some power of two and if you do that's a trap and then you go all the way down to one and the sequence is finite otherwise you're going to potentially be divergent so is first the power of two the only trap or there in something else and can you converge the two so it's a really interesting mathematical question it's very simple to formulate it's called the collats conjecture and this is part of additive number theory it's a really interesting thing you really don't care too much about division by two you don't care too much about the multiplication by three is that plus one that's really interesting because it turns out you can decompose n into prime factors that's called the fundamental theorem of arithmetic and basically this is unique and when you add one to any arbitrary factorization it goes somewhere else and it's unknown that's an open problem and never theory it's a really fascinating beautiful problem so collapse is a really cool thing and there's plenty of mathematicians that have spent a long time in fact there was an old joke in the 1980s and 70s that the class conjecture was a russian conspiracy to destroy productivity in math departments for a few decades and if you guys are ever interested this is a great problem to look at and it's a great problem to study and think about and it's very deep and there's a lot of beauty to it the other problem is the goldbach conjecture there's several different ways there's the tertinary and binary but the goldbach conjecture basically says for all numbers minus the set containing one there exists a piece of one that's prime and there exists the feast of two that's prime such that two n is equal to feast of one plus v sub two so in other words any even number 4 or greater greater than or equal to 4 is equal to the sum of two prime numbers okay so let's look at a trivial example like 16 11 plus five and you can just keep going 18 20 22 and so forth you can always find two prime numbers that add up to that okay and this has been tested to an astronomically large number but the problem is this quantifier for all so for example factorial that's an even number so what are the two prime numbers let's sum up to that goldbach says there exists some that do that and that's actually another statement about factorization because you're actually relating a particular factorization to an additive property there's a whole field of number theory that studies these things and it's a fascinating field and you can spend your whole life doing it and never accomplish anything or publish anything of note nathan sent from kuni is one of the big guys there and i have several of his books it's an unsolved problem by the way no one's proved it if you prove it get a fields medal any of those problems collats goldbach if you prove them your field smell they're big deals can you call it charles yes but not very well python and scholar are the two languages i've most experienced with know a little bit about haskell and these types of things but professional programming is an art and a profession and people do that for a living i don't i can read code and understand what people are doing and understand things like different algorithms algorithmic complexity and what runtime is trade-offs and these things i have a pretty good idea about them i read sedgwick's book i read a lot of stuff on theory of computation and these types of things but by no means am i a computer scientist or a professional programmer you don't really have to be you just have to understand enough to be able to have a conversation with them and get what they're doing you have to know how to put the right people in place so that they can work together because a lot about engineering is not about the high level it's about actually the implementation details the optimization the quality control the symmetrical correctness the integration of that with other systems the compatibility between systems you get lost in that and that's an art onto itself and it has nothing to do with whether it's right or wrong and this is what frustrates academics when they go into engineering ninety percent of their time they spend on utterly uninteresting things that ultimately make or break the product hmm how much data do you have personally none it all belongs to my company i own the company so indirectly i guess it's all mine but it's at iohk hello from your farrier nice to see you lauren eagle you take care of the two horses misty and jameson good to see you in the anime yes i do have a farrier farrier comes out every now and then farriers treat horses they take care of their feet horses have special needs you can clip your toenails horses have much bigger ones and much harder to take care of and my farrier is an ada holder and actually knew about cardone on ada before knowing me hello from papua new guinea it's one of the prettiest places in the earth and it actually has some of the most beautiful birds if you ever go anywhere in ocean india before you die go there because you will love it [Music] merchandising are you able to objectively evaluate gavin's woods project as compared to cardano oh absolutely they read our papers and then they write papers that look a lot like our papers and they implement code that looks a lot like our code and so i'm a fan actually levity aside they're very good engineers at polkadot and they do good work and it's actually fun to see people get inspired from time to time and they have a good community and polka dot is exactly what f2 should be it's much more iterative than revolutionary in that respect and it's a product done right and this is the problem when you go from a visionary founder who no one says no to and has a cult of personality and has never lost anything in his life it's always one he's always been the big guy and accolade and praise you tend to believe you can do things that are insanely impossible and sometimes you're right but seldom do you get all the way there and and if you have some counterbalance in that process who says maybe we can do 75 percent of that and still accomplish something great that's probably good to keep that around and keep a balance of those things yes we'd like to go to mars but let's invent reusable rockets first and polka dot really feels the reusable rocket in that respect and it's a great loss in my view for ethereum not to have that kind of thinking surrounding them f2 is boiling the ocean and i wish him well but it's too much and it's just a lot of nasty things there and it's a shame that polka dot is not f2 it'd be much better for ethereum charles i just found out i'm friends with a mycologist at your aunt she claims you're a very fun guy tell lexi miguel says hi well hi miguel i think lexi's in your group and yes she she did mention that you guys didn't believe that she knew me she does indeed know me and she is growing lion's mane she went to evergreen state and learned all about mycology and now is helping me set up a center we're probably going to actually build the growing facilities and shipping crates that are repurposed so i'm sending her all around the united states oregon actually yeah oregon and ohio are the two states or iowa one of the two i can always conflate the two and canada when it reopens to do some additional training let's finish this what's the surprise you must look within yourself and only then can you have the enlightenment you need to understand the surprise was there all along you have a mycologist yeah yeah lives in the basement basement mycologist don't you guys have a basement mycologist i thought everybody had a basement mycologist damn i must be getting disconnected regards from ntnu university of norway best youngest professor of norway and holder aveda well i'm very glad that you're here norway is a beautiful place can you sing charles oh no no stranger in the night ciao ciao italia i love italy i am so going back one of these days congrats on getting your office back no this is actually the home office the other office we're still working on the best kubrick movie is space odyssey 2001 come on it's true no competition [Music] [ __ ] but you can suck a golf ball through a garden hose absolutely full metal jacket was a legendary movie as well the the drill instructor was an actual drill instructor from the marine corps and he was actually a consultant and kubrick liked him so much he's like just going to be in the movie go ahead and just be in the movie they didn't write any lines for him he just able to everything just i'm just going to do it there you go [Music] i'm sorry dave i can't do that alonzo date second quarter of 2021 if it's earlier or later it's dependent on when the plutus test net hits and i am going to beat the [ __ ] out of that testnet we already have one firm signed up we'll get another one soon they're going to come in be brutal and they're going to write lots of pluto's code and we're really going to have a lot of fun stress testing system i might even port unit swap take the source code and figure out how to port it onto plutus just to see what they look like wrap a lot of assets nice and dirty aloha mahalo if i was born in maui on maui lived in makawa why aren't you a doctor i hate people making any new friends lately yeah this little bird landed on my shoulder just going chirp chirp chirp tell me all these crazy bird things became very friendly have the unit swap guy said anything about making the switch no we never even asked them but the code is all around there and i'd like to use a proof of concept to really get it going it's not hard to do a dex and actually i'm probably gonna do one because i'm getting damn tired of liquidity issues in japan it is fundamentally unfair that they have to go abroad to divest and to purchase data that's just not right and it would be really really nice to see a dex exist what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow and the proper answer always is african or european and then he says i don't know then he gets cat off the bridge of death and we are all happy happy happy happy happy hippo charles come to a talk at msu denver i was a student there when it was called metropolitan state college of denver it's kind of like denver's version of city college and actually i was there when they had the old science building not the new science building that's all spiffy and everything that old science building was a ghetto it was built during the 1970s and it took them quite a bit of time to refurbish it we shared classrooms with north classroom but we had road runner pride god damn it was pride i think i might be the richest alumni in metro history they made at least one billionaire so you can be too sir why is it it's you're the first child you got the [ __ ] stick and all the kids that came after they get all the good stuff dad got rich dad was poor when i was born that kind of a deal yeah metro's like that for me and i'm very very angry about that what kind of whiskey charles whiskey makes me frisky whiskey hibiki habiki's the way to go thoughts on ipi 3. it wasn't as good as api 2 but i'm really excited about the sql api 4.

glad they brought back the the actors from api 1.
