00:00 to 1:54:46
Intro: 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. I 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 ah how about that what do you guys think it is any guesses show and tell is fun isn't it ah 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 you know 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 you know and the whole industry is going to move in that particular direction it's gonna be a lot of fun uh 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 you know 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 you know what a white paper is do you know what a scientific paper is no you don't you know nothing your children and you know 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 uh 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.
06:03 Question: Hi Charles watching from cold Norway keep up the good work.
Answer: Many of you know my grandparents were norwegian on my father's mother's side father's half norwegian my uh i'm a quarter and my grandmother uh 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

Answer: 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.
08:10 Question: Do you need safe spaces for conferences like Andreas?
Answer: I'm not aware of Andreas doing a safe space you guys have to tell me the story. I know Antonopoulos but uh 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.
08:30 Question: What should the guy with two passwords left do?
Answer: 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 uh basically if you enter the password wrong ten times uh 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 uh very secure fips 192 compliant uh 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 uh 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 uh and their domain expertise probably can figure out a way to extract um 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 uh you know 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.
10:30 Question: What did you do in Florida?
Answer: 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 uh 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 you know 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 you know I've gone crazy if my hair regrows.

Answer: Uh 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 you know 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 you know 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

14:46 Question: Everyone be careful of scams on social media.
Answer: 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 like 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 you know 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 you know 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 like you told me to and uh 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 you know 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.

daedalus support multicoins coming to a flight near you uh 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 uh 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 uh multi-validation per block oh my god there's so much stuff yeah so using things like the consensus redux paper the ledger combiners paper uh you know the chronos paper the genesis paper the profs paper uh 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 uh 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 uh since 2017 that's a long time uh 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 you know 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

to convince chris allen the writer of the haskell book to make a series of free online tutorials explaining his book chapter by chapter it's 1200 pages long but it's the best introduction i think on

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 you know 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 uh 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 you know 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 uh 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 you know 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 you know 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 you know 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 like 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 ah 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 like 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 equation euler's identity are you getting a giraffe i already own a giraffe it's a gift in south africa names chips he's a horned dog goes around knocks up all the female giraffes

industry because people go there to see the northern lights you occasionally get to see them at the right time you go out on a little van ride in the damn middle of nowhere usually cross the border into finland it's a beautiful town i've done that before and a lot of sea there too i think cruise ships may come by from time to time and also i think it has the northernmost university in the world good fish i fell into a snow tunnel once there this tiny finish girl had to dig me out i was like don't leave me i'll freeze to death she's like this has never happened before on the snowshoe tour i'm so sorry that's a story for another time how's the family it was good see if we get the camera focus is so annoying man i'm sorry guys uh maybe i have the camera tools right here perhaps i didn't download the damn logitech tools oh well um have you ever been to grand junction yes i have many times you look like chandler from friends that makes me deeply sad disturbed and somewhat suicidal do you have bodyguards nope just my wild ninja skills how can we decentralize social media by doing the opposite of centralized social media dried carnivore diet no bad news bad news pandas your thoughts on ada promising with a side of inspiration isomorphic state channels good idea very easy to summarize read the paper love from nepal love from colorado favorite gun my fn tactical my chi is apparently out of control what ninja turtle are you finally a real question i've waited i've waited six years for this question junior og you win the night congratulations my favorite ninja turtles donatello sir absolutely amazing i played all the ninja turtle games i had the bo staff i was donatello purple yeah sup donald tell was the way to go my brother always played leonardo i was donatello i like kicked 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 you know 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 you know 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 uh doing pl research we're writing programming languages it's great uh doing video games even starting to get into anti-aging and understand more about that industry uh 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 um i'll show you guys that one how about that let's see here ah 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 uh 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 you know 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 you know different algorithms algorithmic complexity and you know what runtime is trade-offs and these things i have a pretty good idea about them i read sedgwick's book you know uh i read a lot of stuff on theory of computation and these types of things um but um 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 uh 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 um 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 um i'm a fan actually levity aside they're very good engineers at uh 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 um it's much more iterative than revolutionary in that respect and it's a product done right um 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 like 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 uh 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 uh she did mention that you guys didn't believe that she knew me she does indeed know me uh and she is growing lion's mane she went to evergreen state and learned all about mycology and uh 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 um 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 you know 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 you know the the drill instructor uh 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 like i'm just going to do it there you go [Music] um i'm sorry dave i can't do that alonzo date uh 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 you know 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 uh 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 like 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 you know 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 uh the actors from api 1. okay [Music] hmm were you happy with your ted talk six years ago no not really i mean i wish i could redo it make it more awesome and better and everything but you know what i'm going to go back and do it i was just talking to the premiere of bermuda ironically on um what was i talking to david it was sunday i was sitting in florida and i got a pinged by a fellow friend and we were saying hey we should do something fun and um i say that sounds great so we'll have a nice conversation about bermuda's an interesting place though 61 000 people and this massive reinsurance business and all this cool there's more businesses and registered and bermuda than there are people uh but that offshore industry is not working as well anymore all that arbitrage the regulatory arbitrage they enjoyed is going away so these are perfect places to reinvent themselves and become sandboxes for new things and what's really reassuring is every time i go to a crypto conference i always run into a bermuda guy you can tell because they wear the shorts it's a real thing they wear the shorts with a suit it's you they stand out like a sore throat um but um it'd be good to go back on the 10-year anniversary and talk about the aspiration versus reality and what did we actually accomplish and i think we'll have a lot to say and hopefully be able to actually talk about how we transformed all of bermuda talk to a lot of heads of state thanks doc you're welcome aydah hit a canadian dollar today ah was was the dollar okay did it get battered does it need emotional help i'm sorry are there many cryptocoins offering to work together with cardano yes are those african masks well some of them are african masks and some are not african masks it just depends on the mask hello from oregon beautiful place good mushrooms massive forests lots of rain strange hippies i watched mad max fury road yesterday well congratulations on that experience i saw an imax you probably didn't charles how do you like them apples i love apples and oranges and mangoes papayas and papaya starfruit mangoes with my turducken what's poppin from toronto i don't know you're in toronto not me tron legacy thank you finally somebody enjoys the magic raw sexiness that is jeff bridges that i do have you no do you have a black belt in karate no i do not i was on the korean side of that i did taekwondo they were particularly good at it although i was much better at judo probably terrible now but i can get back into it do the whole putin thing it'll be great wrestle a bear run honeyman run the outlaw josie whales come on kids haven't had a single rant sad about that charles tell us about the bird haven't you heard the bird is the word what traits do you admire most in people i admire empathy and honesty these are the two things i admire more than anything else if you have a person who is always true and empathetic and listens and understands you everything else can be trained you know you have an access for performance and raw talent you have an axis for trustworthiness honesty empathy okay most of the time the systems we have reward performance and skill but don't give a about this part and it turns out that the other side having empathy listening the ability to relate the trustworthiness the the camaraderie the ability to work well in teams and lead is so much more important for the proper effective functioning of the team you can always train people to get them better at what they do if they're focused and disciplined and they have the will to learn you can't really fix integrity issues it's really hard to do that because the people up here don't think they have a problem and because they can't admit they have it they can't be trained out of it so i don't admire that at all and that's why we have a no policy at iog don't give a about what they do hi charles what type of mathematical education would you recommend for an advanced 11 year old well yeah let's do this this book might be a little bit too advanced for them but if you work with them you probably can get them through it but this book right here i actually have every edition that daniel did he's a mathematician i think uh was the university of maryland or was it massachusetts i can't remember where is velaman at where did you go to school okay how to prove it okay so there's proof books proof books proof books proof books proof books they're all over the place but this particular book i really enjoy it's about thirty dollars and what's really nice about it is that the book actually has a really nice breakdown so it starts with sentential logic and then quantificational logic and that's the first about 80 pages then you actually get into proofs so you learn the language of logic you learn about a conjunction and a disjunction and negation implication about by implication you learn all those things so if then if and only if that kind of stuff okay then you learn how to do truth tables you learn how to do quantifiers like that you know weird backwards ease there exists and then the for all symbol what the hell does that mean a little bit about seth it's that theory it's that biller notation um and he's a really advanced 11 year old that should be a really fun thing and then we need to prove so you actually go through proof by contradiction allegations and conditionals and conjunctions you meet this proofs and you learn about relations then i have a whole chapter on functions chapter on reduction a little bit of number theory and then finally infinite sets so this is the kind of thing that a college student post calculus would do but there's no reason for that in fact in the pedagogy of mathematics this used to be a freshman course it was gh hardee's class a course in peer mathematics beautiful textbook and that was the way direction to analysis the hard way delta epsilon all the way down so i'd highly recommend this book if your kid can get through it and that's a good starting point and then the other book i don't have it here i think it's on my bookshelf um but it's the art and craft of problem solving and so this this book's how to prove it from daniel development the art craft for problem solving is from his name will come to me in a moment i haven't looked them up a long time at the university of san francisco though really good book the author was an expert training math olympiads and uh there's all kinds of cool books uh around that another one is uh from george poya so how to prove it is a play on a very famous 20th century early 20th century math book from the polish mathematician poya which is how to solve it and that's the canonical high school you know your bright high school student the high school math teacher who's kind of crusty and old and balding and hates life because everybody's a chum and he has that one student that's really good and he's like let me give you my copy of spock and he has hopes that that child to see succeed him and become a great mathematician and maybe he does uh but how to solve it is another very good book so anything read how to solve it the art craft for problem solving and how to prove it these three things i think will let you know very quickly if your child has a mathematical mind it's not about the understanding it's about the ambition to understand that desire to know more and if they can do those things then you have a math prodigy and then what you need to do is is get them into competitive problem solving and learn about these olympian things and get them into that community get them into that flow and get into that love of the next problem the next problem um and then there's you know the sky is the limit from there and there's plenty of advisors from there to help you through um norman wildberger uh all he's an ultra fighter so he's a little cookie as a mathematician but he has incredibly good nice lectures on youtube youtube that i highly recommend they break down a lot of great mathematical topics so i wish you and your child well and i hope seven years from now you tell me if you ever managed to get through velen's book which still remains to be my favorite introduction to proof book on the market it's the most understandable charles who's the best fictional villain in the marvel universe thanos what are the top three ihk research papers you recommend um probably the best representation of how we think as a company would be the gkl paper it's also our most cited paper in the portfolio the extended utxo paper uh and probably the aura boris classic paper and by no means is this like oh that's all of the stuff we've done the company's written 95 papers uh in association but those three papers in particular they show how to formalize something really well that's what gcal did world war shows you how to do something write a consensus protocol and actually show a research agenda and how to roll that agenda out the extended utxo shows you how to take a traditional problem in our industry and relate it to an old concept of computer science and how you can then vastly exceed what's actually represented market and provide universal utility to everybody so i say those are three probably great starting papers but there's 95 of them now and some of them go quite deep actually all of them do in their own way uh you're looking fresh charles you know i was the fresh prince of bel air but then they replaced me with this will smith guy i just just didn't have the right the right moves rick and morty or family guy i mean that's like comparing a masterpiece to you know high school theater rick and morty is the best show animated show of all time if you doubt me i dare you to watch the vat of acid episode in season four and tell me that that is not the greatest show of all time numbers look like colors to me then you have synesthesia there's a lovely book actually uh wednesday is indigo blue it's great condition to study it's really interesting actually and there's actually a reason why many people who have synesthesia are also memory champions because they have an extra dimension to use for memory palace to be able to memorize are you a freemason no what are your thoughts on freemasonry they make good cookies great bake sales now every now and then you guys teach me things new daniel tamet navigating synesthetic landscapes that's a really cool one i will look at it thank you so much uh what advice can you give to someone who doesn't like to read books well if you don't like to read books maybe you should learn how to listen to them so audible try that out or podcast try that out too you ever read daniel dennett well maybe i'll have an intuition pump for you if i did or talk about a subconscious zombie i do he's one of my favorite philosophers his father was actually in the cia and that's what made him so kooky what the hell is jd power and what a card ads reference them to be honest with you i i don't know i just don't know i've wondered the same thing my whole adult life i i don't know anything about this company i assume it's a company i assume people at some arbitrary point looked up to it and somehow it's like a bastion of quality or something like that but i have no idea jd power associates you guys tell me was speed racer jd power certified huh oh mahalo how do i talk to a woman you don't talk to her you listen to her that's the key and then it all works from there are you gonna reboot that elder scroll style game i want to be in on it oh yes sir yes sir yes sir legends of valor we will get it done charles if you help jack on a horse would you then help jack off a horse horse a horse of course and stu i gotta ask why the long face fell asleep the monk techno music he posted the other day well that was the point of it it was a sleepy tracy thank you so much for embracing my inner peace 22nd century buddhist dj music posted it just for you tell us the chocolate massage story i will one day it's a good story you know you always got to bring politics do you support the trump impeachment see there's good politics and bad politics good politics i had an hour-long conversation with dominick bailey as an author in our space he's just about published a book on taxes and i was in one of his prior books and he's a good friend and every now and then he calls me up hey gerald i got this thing i said all right i'll come on so i'll post the interview he wants to post it i'll post it okay maybe i'll post it tonight because i have my email anyway uh we talked about taxes and political theory and social contracts and the nature of government and how the government should tax people and what's fair market versus a controlled market we just went all over the place it was a beautiful political dialogue uh we're a little different on the political spectrum but it was a good conversation trump impeachment you can't have that conversation you really can't whatever you say some group of people's brains just short circuit and they go crazy because it's politicized and propagandized to a point where no meaningful dialogue can be held the proper dialogue should be what relationship should the american people and expectations should the american people have with their president so first the process it is completely unnecessary and counterproductive to do political kabuki theater and impeach a president who's no longer in office it makes no sense if you believe his conduct was criminal then what you do is you appoint a special prosecutor you have the special prosecutor examine it just like mueller did and private citizen trump has no immunity can be subpoenaed he can be forced to talk to the fbi he has to be open about it a special prosecutor can spend two years grinding away at that he also if it's a crime in washington dc why is the prosecutor there not investigating trump do it okay there's tax problems there's issues in the state of new york there's going to be criminal infants civil investigations in dc and yes you should have appointed special prosecutor all of these things to private citizen trump can and should be done for the events of the six okay and all the communications the text messages the emails the things that ought to be members of public record about what was being said publicly versus privately and what was known should be scanned through and examine that's how you actually solve the problem not political theater not a vanity impeachment that won't happen that'll be on party lines with a few defectors here and there will be primaries in 2022 you don't accomplish anything with that but you see politics is not about accomplishing things it's about vanity victories to preserve power while they steal from you okay you're the victim and they're entertaining you while someone is taking your wallet someone's putting handcuffs on you someone's screwing you this is the first thing you must learn you must transcend all of this and realize that they only get power when you give them power and they are only powerful when you pay attention to them if you ignore them you go about your day and you diminish their role in relevance and don't watch they lose ratings mass media falls apart if you go to alternative media if you do things outside of the spectrum of things if enough people do it then eventually the system will collapse and a new system will be born so you just can't talk about politics anymore everybody just they get so angry they don't want to solve problems and that's where we're at in america and i honestly don't believe there's a way out of it outside of a complete reformation system the only way in my view at this point is a constitutional convention the whole social contract has to be renewed rewritten a new constitution needs to be created the federal government needs to be torn down in the fourth branch reign and the bureaucratic arm and a new government needs to be created born like a phoenix of the ashes of the old one through a constitutional reformation process and it will not happen at the federal level they will not give power back at this point and you can't vote your way out of it it's raped it's absolutely rigged it's a two-party system the primaries are rigged it was going to be jeb bush hillary clinton trump short-circuited a little bit they tried to run him in when they couldn't they got rid of him and now biden the swampiest of swamp creatures is in power i don't even think he's cogent sitting there smiling as he signs executive order after executive order probably not even knowing what's in them and a whole bunch of handlers are running the whole white house and rebuilding the swamp putting their own swamp in trump was incompetent and so he had the capacity and capability as an outsider to drain it but

two hours so a csu student very prominent brilliant csu student by csu standards uh he decides to get a job for the summer make some extra money he's looking around and the economy is not so good so the only job he can get is he gets a job painting roads and his job is to go along and paint those little white strips on the roads you know so between lanes and so anyway he's a over achiever for csu standards and so he really really wants to do a good job so the first day at work he asked the boss he says on average how many miles of road can we paint per day you know what your all-time record they say most really good guys if they're going hustling maybe about four to five miles a road per day so oh okay so so i can do that he's a young guy you know really big achieving guy he goes out there he starts painting that road works all day in the hot sun because it's asphalt right comes back 10 miles of road he's painted and the boss he's super impressed he says wow that is incredible the average is five you did ten that's incredible barely ever see a guy come through like that first day too and so uh kid he says you know what i'm gonna try even harder tomorrow the boss wow i cannot believe i have this employee so the next day comes in works even harder he's covered in sweat and comes back and he says okay at the end of the day the boss how many miles did you get done he says i did three miles today he said three miles well you know maybe you had a bad day what's going on okay and uh and he said okay well better luck next time so this kid he really wants to make a good impression he was kind of disappointed that he went from ten to three so he wakes up early in the morning works out eats his wheaties takes an energy drink takes some monsters to work and he works hard he's ever worked before his whole shirt's covered in sweat he's got cuts he's following the asphalt like the sun is blazing hot he didn't give it he worked so hard at the end of the day they're summing everything up and and they asked how many miles of paint did you do today says half mile sir and the guy says what happened you started as a rock star you did 10 miles then you did three miles and now you only did a half mile what's going on and the kid looks at him he says sir i'm just trying as hard as i can but the buck gonna paint it just keeps getting further and further away and that my friends is csu as told by a cu boulder alum cheers
