Takeaway: If your random number generator starts spitting out Shakespeare, don't assume it's "Global Consciousness."

The website itself is a relic of the 90s web, which adds to the creepypasta vibe.
Charts that look like seismographs of reality breaking.
Is it pseudoscience? Probably.
Is it the Trisolarian fleet arrival signal? I’m not ruling it out.

It brings up the "Turkey Farmer" hypothesis from the book.
The turkeys think the farmer feeding them at 11 AM is a Universal Law of Physics.
We think these RNGs are random... until something higher up the food chain decides to change the feed time.

The GCP says the odds of their data happening by chance are "one in a trillion."
In the book, this is the moment Wang Miao starts seeing a countdown in his eyes.
Maybe it’s not our "collective joy" organizing the data. Maybe the universe is just flickering at us.

If you’ve read The Three-Body Problem, this is terrifyingly familiar.
In the book, Trisolarans send "Sophons" to Earth to mess with particle accelerators.
Scientists start seeing non-random results in random experiments.
That is LITERALLY what this project claims is happening.

The official theory: "Human consciousness" forms a "Noosphere" that physically organizes matter when we all focus on the same thing (like 9/11 or NYE).
The theory: This is classic data-dredging. If you stare at noise long enough, you'll find a face.
The Cixin Liu theory: Physics is broken.

he setup: A global network of "EGGs" (hardware random number generators) runs 24/7. Their only job is to produce pure, unadulterated entropy (0s and 1s).
Ideally, they should be totally unpredictable.
But the researchers claim that during major global events, the machines... stop being random.

The genie might be out of the bottle. Settlement on ECB/digital Euro is just one of many possibilities. They will have to face competition…

If you are building infra bridging TradFi and crypto, this is a green light. They admit they need the private sector to build the user layers. Good signal. Now we just have to wait and see how fast they can actually ship. (6/6)

My take: The ECB is drawing a red line. They want final settlement to happen in Central Bank Money, not private stablecoins. They see the threat to monetary sovereignty and are finally reacting by building actual product. (5/6)

He even named-dropped specific projects: "Pontes" and "Appia". These are for connecting existing rails to DLT. It moves the conversation from "is blockchain useful" to "how do we implement this". The spec phase seems to be over. (4/6)

The retail "Digital Euro" gets the headlines, but the real engineering work is in wholesale. They are actively building rails to settle DLT assets in Central Bank Money. That is where the actual volume will be. (3/6)

The core message: They know they will lose their role as the financial "anchor" if they don't modernize the stack. They explicitly acknowledge DLT and tokenization as the future of capital markets. They aren't fighting the tech anymore, they want to integrate it. (2/6)

Ist das der Typ der Avatar 2, Avatar 3 , Avatar 4 und Avatar 5 macht?
Serien wie Stranger Things sind innovativer…

I think there are pros and cons to both systems (price, efficiency, cooling, etc.). In Germany, I think the main reason is that people are used to the heated water system and prefer to replace only one component. In newly built houses, air-to-air is common as well.

Most buildings already have a heating system via water and radiators installed, but no existing space for air shafts. An air-to-water heat pump is a plug-in replacement for older oil- or gas-fired heating systems. Retrofitting a ventilation system would be incredibly expensive or nearly impossible.
