Nvm I think I get your comment, but regardless, it’s noise. No 1-2% move in Bitcoin means anything. Some random alignment or decoupling for a week will mean nothing in 6 months.

That would be the opposite actually right? If the dollar weakens, then to stay the same purchasing power BTC would have to go *up* by the same rate the dollar fell.
Regardless, I’m saying all of these intraday moves are just noise. Up 5k, down 7k, up 2k, none of this is movement. It’s just bitcoin sitting around.

The trend still bulling ahead, this is the consequence of Ai. The walls will continue to grow, more platforms will become tightly controlled silos, and the open internet will slowly disappear.
The web is bifurcating into the old and the new. The old systems cannot work in a web where you have no way at all to prove that someone is human. You have to KYC everybody or deal with a constantly growing proportion of fraud and bots... and even when you KYC you will still only slow what is inevitable.
Only a key based internet can remain open so that you can know that you are talking or interacting with the same entity, and only a push based payment system is compatible with a world where you could be interacting with an Ai as easily as a real human.
Gave a talk about this a couple years ago, and so far - for better or worse - the trend is fully intact.

So my 7pm flight got delayed to 8pm, then to 9pm with a connecting, then to 10:04, then i was gonna miss my connecting and now I’m on a 5am flight to Dallas.
Didn’t realize it was moved to 5am until I got to the airport at 6pm yesterday but went ahead and got my ticket. 6pm the airport was totally dead, only one person in line to get ticket stuff sorted.
I get here at almost 4am and the place is jammed and the line to deal with tickets and get assistance is a million miles long… actually super glad i accidentally came to the airport 10 hours early and then went back home to sleep 😆😅

For parents or places you go to often, make bags that stay permanently ready, get a few sets of clothes that you can keep at those locations, have a second bag for your kid/s that is nothing but travel. We’ve found we can save packing about half of the stuff with this strategy. I’d say we aren’t super high level but definitely reached apprentice.

And also, the inequality and wealth of the top 1% has skyrocketed directly in line with the amount of money directed through the govt.
That is not a coincidence, it’s by design. Thats what your “public” money does.
If you aren’t demanding the govt cut 80% and give the money back to the people, then you are swallowing their propaganda and supporting the very thing you claim to be against: enriching a tiny few, with unearned corrupt wealth stolen from hardworking people.

2025-04-01 02:52:07

The biggest problem with Nostr right now is that we aren’t breaking any rules.
The value and differentiator for decentralized networks is the “grey market.” BitTorrent taught us valuable lessons, and the most important is that something like Nostr will likely only get a huge network after we find something that people want, but aren’t allowed to have/access for whatever reason.
Consider what you think it might be… 🤔

2100 sats to anyone who can find me that video of the crazy bright meteor that happened a couple years ago. There was an awesome video from some random kids party (maybe high school or college, pretty sure it was young) and the video catches this girls reaction to it in slow motion and something about it was just awesome. It lights up the entire night sky, almost like its daylight for just a moment.
I saved it thinking it would be cool to use for a project at some point, but it must have a generic name in my massive database of media because I spent probably 30-40 minutes looking and gave up.
Finding another copy would let me both save it with a proper name and comments, but then also search via the phash to see if maybe I could find the one I saved just for my own sanity 😂

Imagine coming out of 17 years of schooling with no basic blue collar skills, taking anti-depressants and ADHD meds, needing instructions to do absolutely anything, no confidence or initiative, having political opinions more developed than any productive skill but still requires a “safe space” because you’re mentally incapable of defending it, & despite the degree that academia was SO supportive about, the only job you can get is serving coffee…
And then being mad at “the economy,” instead of an education system that just took 17 years of your life and threw it in the trash.

If I send you a gallon of milk and we both sign a receipt that it was delivered, you drink it, then 2 years later I use the receipt to prove that you can give me back a gallon of milk and that we are even - that isn’t storing the milk. It’s keeping a record of it.
Money is a record of exchanged energy that is the closest to immutable as possible. I know a lot of people like the analogy, but it’s not accurate. Energy is a real thing, like milk, and money keeps a secure record of its production and consumption, it doesn’t store energy itself.

It actually isn’t though, it’s a tool to allow proof of energy provided in the past, with consumption of energy in the future. It’s just an accounting tool that ensures *balance* of energy across time. It doesn’t store it.

I think people fail to discern the power of a sustainable network, vs the short term apparent growth.
Nostr has a sustainable community, and people are building for it like crazy. Never underestimate the power of those two things combined.
The problem with so many other social competitors is that they never create an atomic network. They just try to get as many people as possible as fast as possible and trap them with algo engagement bait.
This is not and cannot be how Nostr works, thus its adoption won’t look like how platform socials do. It will look like protocol adoption. And we have an atomic network, there is a group of people who have adopted it and aren’t going anywhere, and who will never trade it for something less.

For anyone confused about the insane rhetoric of the @EU deciding to confiscating personal savings "for investment."
Understand, personal savings IS investment in the peoples' futures. What they are doing is bleeding the life out of your future so they can wage war.
Your future will be harder, your pay will feel insignificant, quality food will be too expensive, and your trajectory for retirement will look bleak or impossible... and it'll be *precisely* because of this.
They are sacrificing your prosperity at the alter of big govt, bigger corporations, & infinite war.

Pinging @nprofile…jejf , what’s the total vRAM in that monster you built?

2025-03-14 19:25:10

Holy shit… it costs $10K but you can get a Mac Studio (the little computer) with as much as 512GB of unified memory. Thats right, that’s RAM that can be used for vRAM. Meaning you can run natively the largest DeepSeek and Llama models with tons of room to spare on this single device.
The acceleration of hardware toward Ai optimization is going to be crazy. I get the sense we will see double, triple, and quadruple the vRAM equivalent (though it’ll all go unified) in just the next couple of years of product iterations.
Running huge LLMs and video/image models locally will get easier and easier.

I would actually say to leave the imperfections. I think what people like about video is the feeling of authenticity. There are certainly Ai tools you can use to make it super high quality if you like, but I think what you are describing is actually a different medium than “film.” I for one do not like the idea of watching Ai explain something with a fake person. Feels off and I don’t trust it as soon as I realize that’s what I’m seeing.
That said if you want the video to be really high quality, there’s nothing wrong with some solid editing and some minor effects, but I still think the simple “sit in front is a camera and explain it” approach is king in the social medium.

She literally uses the framing of multiple Austrian theories, explains them, and then discusses why fiat money actually exists for periods despite it seeming to violate some of those principles. And then develops a sort of unified theory. Arguing why the Austrian theory is right, but it’s the resulting characteristics, not the goods themselves, that make it a good money, and thus why fiat that isn’t horribly abused will work.
I think she’s completely right and have argued as such before her book on my show using numerous Austrian writers as the basis for making the claim.

Just for the record I’m not saying I can imagine the future either, I’m saying it’s practically impossible to do so, but our lack of an image doesn’t change the nature of markets and production.
Of course no one in the 1900s could imagine that all the people put out of work would eventually be working to sustain a global electronic communication system and eventually a place switching digital network that could provide practically any service that people desired at their whim… but that’s what happened nonetheless and tractors made it possible, they didn’t “make farm workers poor.”

It literally doesn’t. Your lack of an imagination doesn’t change that.
And your comparison uses two completely different groups either without realizing it or by trying to dodge the issue. I’m not talking about farmers, I’m talking about the millions who *worked in farms* who were displaced by tractors.
My example has absolutely zero fundamental difference from the conditions of today and Ai. To need fewer people to do something is the entire purpose of society. It does not make anyone poorer, it only changes what people do.
Example: you think the internet can even exist is a world where we need 90% of the population working on farms? It can’t. Tractors ALLOWED the internet to exist by freeing people up and providing food at vastly lower cost.

Apply this same problem to the invention of tractors when 90% of the population works on farms.

2025-02-24 17:13:02

This completely misconstrued the fundamental premise of technology: did the invention of tractors mean everyone starves without UBI because 80% of field workers lost their jobs?
The answer to your question is the same as the story of what happened to the economy and food availability after tractors were invented.

2025-02-24 17:11:21

1000%, discussion around UBI is always a gauge to how well someone understands basic incentives and market function.
There is literally no world where UBI doesn’t destroy an entire layer of the market incentive structure, leaving the society poorer than what UBI gives.
In other words, if you use UNI to give everyone an apple a day, it will lower the supply of apples in society by 2 apples a day, and literally everyone will be worse off by an apple, and worse they become dependent on the one apple they get from “the system” because apples are now too expensive.

If they don’t know anything about it, then why would they bother mentioning it? It gives the impression that the current authority isn’t really an authority, and that they are just guessing at a ton of this. Therefore it is good to only teach conclusions and results rather than ambiguities and mysteries if the goal is to establish your importance. Teach the latter, and suddenly they don’t matter very much.
Schooling has become a tool to establish hierarchies of political authority, not creative, explorative thought. Only by the grace of some good teachers and long lasting culture does the latter still occur to any degree. The system itself is explicitly antithetical to it.

But did you ever code your application in Assembly, or did you use a much higher layer language with libraries and shortcuts and nearly written in English?
I think the difference isn’t as big as people think. We already have a stack of a million shortcuts and abstractions that we build with, and Ai is just the next layer (and specifically one that makes it more accessible than any before it), imo.

It’s almost insane that we’ve become ok with filling out a bank form every time we want to do something simple online.
With Nostr + Lightning, creating an account, getting profile information, paying for a service, and getting the auth key for access could all happen in basically one step and maybe a couple of clicks.

And what percentage of their value does it secure and how do they conduct those transactions?

Consider:
Gold is so bad at being trustless money in the digital era, that it was defeated by fiat, one of the lowest integrity monetary tools we’ve ever been forced to used… but which was our only option in a virtual economy.
#Bitcoin fixes this.

As some have noted, depending on your jurisdiction, you should probably do a hop through a normal wallet *before* you do this because some services and governments are tyrannical assholes who will just shut your account down.

Good option, but a little trickier since you have to use a swap service. But definitely a viable route.

That's fine, then you've got your bitcoin off the service and you can find one that doesn't suck, imo. I pay from my CJs directly to Fold without issue. And River has not problems sending them to it.

Withdraw from all KYC services you use directly to Wasabi or Joinmarket. Otherwise you are pointlessly adding to the normal risk that comes with KYC over an easily applied level of protection.
Fees are super low too.

Also referral link gives you free sats so if you want to have bitcoin integrated into your banking it would be stupid, imo, to not use a referral link.
