And where do you download these audio books?

I just got done reading on Schnorr signatures in Mastering Bitcoin 3rd ed before opening SN 😀

I was formerly a machine learning engineer. I think this is a big bubble. These are glorified autocorrection models that cost lots of money to run. LLMs are a massive leap for programmer productivity, but they are only an augmentation and a tool for the best builders. It still takes someone with skill and creativity to build a great product. As for other use cases, if you can be replaced by a New York Times emulating essay machine, perhaps you should expand your set of skills.

As a software engineer in the US with hopes to start a business… yikes. Where do you suggest going? I see Uruguay in the comments. Anyone else want to give their 2 sats?

Are there restrictions on how this bitcoin is used? I can't help but think how much Lightning Network liquidity could be added if MSTR used even a fraction of their bitcoin. Feels like LN routing fees is revenue being left on the table, especially when they already employ software engineers.

NostrHub soon...

I think I came for the coke and hookers. My time preference has changed a lot since then...

Out of the box, I am not sure what you mean by custodial. To my knowledge, Tapsigner is non-custodial and functions with NFC. Can you elaborate?

I agree. The music on the radio is not very conducive to focus or musically interesting. The style of techno I like makes frequent use of polyrhythms and there’s something about those patterns that helps me work.

I forgot to mention I listen to some rap occasionally in the gym. I’ll have a listen to Harry Mack

Please hammer home Taproot. There is not enough introductory information on how these scripts are formed compared to older script templates like P2WPK. Also, I can design web applications if you are interested in working together. If the plan is to release the text under an open license I'd be happy to work on the website.

transient power sources don’t cut it with harder monetary policy… funny how reality hits when the printing stops

steak, bacon, eggs, coffee (this is already what I eat)

that sub is full of shitcoining anyway. on MuSig2 and Rust, have you contributed to BDK? I’m using it in my project and rely on smart folk like you.

I’ve heard Monero get referenced countless times for privacy but I’m struggling to understand how it can do better than Bitcoin and Tor. What is the sauce?

This is the new version of paying 10k Bitcoin for a pizza

An outcome I’ve thought about is that some, even a majority, may never stop using the “dollar.” Only the fractional reserve policies and balance sheets of the banks they use may change. Not the outcome that I want, but for many people there may appear to be no transition at all. I talk to my dad about this sometimes and it seems like an intermediate state that’s definitely plausible
