Guys, we are being ECONOMICALLY DESTROYED OUT THERE!
Hang on let me fix me Stacker News ticker....
much better. Gm! ☕️
I wouldn't say people have to use it that way. A lot of daily transactions, by people actually living on a Bitcoin Standard, are very appropriately done with Lightning. That's correct and as it should be.
There are, however, many, many alleged Bitcoiners who aren't on a Bitcoin Standard at all, in any regard, whatsoever. The most they do (and even this is being charitable) is exchange their BTC for Fiat cards, which directly strengthens fiat's network and weakens this one.
It's less an issue with the Hodl culture itself. Everyone does actually have the tools to adopt a Bitcoin Standard, here and now, but many lack the balls to just do it—and it's really a very easy thing to do.
You don't even really need balls because it's as simple as switching from Argentine Pesos to USD (it's much simpler than that).
Reject the “Bitcoin wins by hodling” narrative.
I don't have anything to add, other than to lament the sheer stupidity of people believing a network's value can grow through fewer people using it.
Darth, have you ever thought about setting up a spot where the Bitcoiners of the future can just Ctrl-F all your warnings and commentary? "I wonder what DarthCoin has to say about Cats / Love / Monero... 🤔"
Openclaw has access to your computer at the user-level by default. On a siloed machine without sudo privileges, it seems to behave, but it did ask me to grant it elevated permission a few times. It can go through all the files you stored locally. I'm guessing if you use good encryption practices, your secrets are safe, but I do not know this for certain.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that.
Never in 50 million years and not for all the "guarantees" in the world. Motherfucker I wouldn't even let my wife mess around in my files.
(Thanks for the post by the way)
Processing Twitter's information in real time could be... at first glance that seems like God-Mode, right? But no, the sheer level of bots, disinfo and sheer stupidity infecting Twitter makes its value questionable. You can poison the data set so easily there, and now that adversaries know the War Department is doing this, you can bet that they will poison it. An LLM can rapidly source and organize obscene amounts of data, but how do you efficiently verify it?
Oh well, I'm sure the Pentagon knows its business.
Notice this is the second time in as many weeks that we've seen a state shut down the internet. It'll 100% be a common tactic going forward.
The Federalist side of the Constitutional Convention in 1787. Get yourself this book —
— and read both sides of the debates. Both sides had valid perspectives, but you'll see the Anti-Federalist criticisms (which have been de-emphasized in American textbooks ever since) have been largely vindicated by subsequent U.S. history. They were very worried about the "strong central government" and felt the critiques of the Articles of Confederation were being exaggerated to serve a centralizing agenda.
This is sadly a structural issue. They misjudged in the 1780s the influence the Executive could exercise on Congress and the willingness of people to pass the responsibility buck onto another. The Executive is incentivized to say, I'll take care of it, it's on me, and Congress is incentivized to avoid responsibility, and thus accountability to their voters, by conceding. There was meant to be a balance, but in practice it's like a Father-Son relationship, where the Son technically has the power to say "No," but—it's Dad.
(By "they" I don't mean the Anti-Federalists, who did see the centralization of Executive power and Congress's abdication of responsibility as an eventual issue. But it all sounds so abstract when you're thinking about possibilities more than a century in the future.)
Yes, absolutely. I've been encouraging anyone and everyone involved in LLM hype to just spend some time learning how the sausage is made. Just a little bit is enough to see they're not and can't be conscious.
You'll learn their obvious limitations, and hence their actual uses. So you'll use the LLM adequately.... which means you certainly won't "Ask the AI for its opinion about your recent argument with your wife" because you'll know it has no opinion—it doesn't think shit about fuck.
