there are times when the way people talk about filters and bip-110 just make no sense. How is it possible that we are talking past each other so much?

What do they share that would allow them to orient themselves in a disagreement? We used to read the same newspapers and watch the same news broadcasts. The scarcity of that forced us to reach consensus constantly. We disagreed at the edges. We all live in our own little information worlds now.

maybe the way to describe it is that we all live in our own little interpretation worlds now.

I think that both sides of this current disagreement in Bitcoin can see the same information. unfortunately, we seem to draw wildly different conclusions from it. And when dialog occurs, it is fraught with misunderstanding.

This may actually be due to the low bandwidth nature of so much of our communication. It's easier to misunderstand a twitter post than it is an in-person conversation.

Isn't he the Ark shitcoiner building an Ark wallet but only realized that Ark has the same liveness constraint as Lightning after building said shitcoin wallet just to throw his hands up and trust the Ark completely?

reply

yes
Will be fun to see how Ark users will be getting rekt with these shenaningans. And on top of that, comes the submarine swaps...

Even the shitiest Muun wallet is doing better than this.

I posted what I thought was a reasonable and relevant comment on a Hacker News article for the first time in ages and it got downvoted, lol.

In a way Hacker News and Stacker News are both familiar to me - text-based and insightful, somewhat aligned towards my general areas of interest.

But I realise with Hacker News I am consuming not just articles, but also passively absorbing other people's comments and worldviews. There is a kind of privileged uber-geek, Weird Al Yankovich White N Nerdy 'acktually' vibe to it – Let's not forget how that hive mind feels about Bitcoin.

When I do decide to participate, I am punished and I realise maybe that group is not so much up my alley.

With Stacker I feel part of a community, I love this place's quirks. Downzap me here instead guys :)

Today was the second day in which I managed to sieve out commonalities in the vocab questions fellow teachers liked to test their primary six students. Complied a list of c words that contain the -tion suffix and prompted ChatGPT to generate an infographic. I am eternally grateful that ChatGPT’s advancement is in sync with my growing awareness of the parameters of the PSLE game.
