  1. “Just as the full metaphysical implications of the Copernican revolution took centuries to unfold, we have yet to fully grasp the philosophical and existential consequences of #entropic #decay.” aeon.co/essays/philo...

    Philosophers must reckon with ...

  2. @deviantollam has a great video up with a much more upclose OTG details from DEFCON on the badge situation.

    Sadly sounds like DEFCON both had good cause to pull the plug on the badge contract+talk and luckily had volunteers on hand who successfully completed delivery of the project.

    That's no small feat!

    Hard to watch contractors getting fired etc but Dev tends to have a pretty level headed read on things.

  3. Definitely want to send some positive vibes to the Entropic team. I wasn't there so I don't have a better read than others, but I have been on teams of independent contractors and it'd be pretty devastating to get stiffed in the way this blog describes (even if a teammate pissed off the client).

    Entropic clearly did some serious work on this year's badge and I hope the conference is able to resolve that dispute.

  4. So what’s going on with #entropic ? One of the badge makers calls out the firmware not being authorized to be used and gets kicked out? I thought we were at #defcon that’s some #blackhat shit…

  5. "Intrinsic Motivation in Dynamical Control Systems"

    This paper defines a "Generalized Empowerment" measure, connecting empowerment to causal entropic forces and Lyapunov exponents. Looks like a must-read!

  6. CW: NPM (JavaScript) discourse

    Anyone following #Entropic? It's the open, federated replacement for NPM.

    This is an interesting talk about capitalism, open source and centralization to introduce why it's needed.
