Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
If we do go back to the WoT algo, it'll be less haves and have nots. Everyone will have trust, but you can earn up to 2x more trust by zapping/boosting/posting things other trusted people zap. Prior algo would distributed trust from 0-1 and with a very high confidence requirement. Next iteration should be more forgiving.
Who wants an echo chamber of circle jerking virtue signalling...
Is a robust contest of ideas seems too hard for Libertarians?
You keep changing the rules to suit circle jerking hypocrites.
Governance is not such an easy gig in the real world is it?
Every change you make to fix one perceived problem creates others.
People don’t get to appreciate @k00b as much as I do day by day but will say love that man.
One of the most good trustworthy men I’ve ever known.
This song reminds me of him.

you are a code simplifying super intelligence. create a simplicity improvement plan for this branch against master for another agent to execute. objectives of the plan:
The "super intelligence" part is a gag. The leaked claude code prompts hyped up the agent by calling it an "expert" in everything.
I still refuse to do roleplay.
I was surprised to see Anthropic doing it.
I think it's because how they train it. (And since they train it on Claude Code conversation history, it means they train it on their own system prompts)
Edit: Funny how OpenAI doesn't do it in symphony "You are working on a Linear ticket" and also not in some of the codex templates
Their plan prompt is way more involved than I would have guessed.
Yes. I copied the pattern, I call it my first
anti-DRYpattern in 20 years, lol, by making forgejo issue templates with large prefilled (but specific to the task-type-at-hand) sections around things like subtask decomposition, acceptance criteria, and so on.I figured this beats context poisoning you'd otherwise get by putting it in AGENTS.md or even a skill, because you cannot edit that on the specific task instance. So even if this means I have infinite copies of the same stupid text in each issue, with only very minor deviations, it is the best place to solve it.
Issue bodies are huge, but they define a framework and I can change it if I need to
Bitconers are having a really hard time understanding the equity markets
#1469096
Fiat games have broken why equity markets exist in the first place
TO RAISE MONEY!!
The fact we are born in an era where people treat the equity markets as a savings account has caused so much confusion and misconceptions.
The comparison is indeed wrong. The problem isn't that Saylor is doing a good thing which is labeled as a bad thing, the problem is that we're facing a hoarding problem (and it's not just Saylor, and not just treasury companies either) that will put extrinsic things such as exchange rates at risk. As long as there are liabilities in fiat for a supermajority of miners this comes back into Bitcoin intrinsics through cost-of-PoW.
To me, the comparison is mostly made like this to not have to discuss extremely complex systemic risks to Bitcoin.
But hoarding is a way of using an asset
It is haha it’s called savings

'While not all ships are paying a direct toll at least two vessels have and the payment is settled in yuan.'
Wacky suggestion: It should be easier to subscribe to a territory than to mute it.
(Translation: Please make "subscribe" something on the main territory description instead of burying it as literally the only option in the "..." menu.)
I just realized another weird thing about the Strait of Hormuz statement "vessels are [..] to pay in Bitcoin" as reported by FT and other reports/interpretations claiming Iran would also accept Yuan.
Why would they charge USD 1 per barrel and not, say, RMB 7 or 1400 sats per barrel?
They won't accept USD, so why call up that price?
I was curious about that too. Other things I’ve read make the toll sound a bit less rigid.
Suddenly dealing with rain this weekend. I thought summer was here early but suddenly it's wet again. Go figure.
My cat doesn't want to get up today.

Zionist Zealots thank you for your contribution to the rewards pool!
The US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has given an insight into his life during the US-Israeli war on Iran, saying he spent the past several weeks in a command centre.
“After six weeks of living at command center in one room with two dogs, sleeping on cots, making meals in microwave and hot plate, and having very limited movement, we’re back at residence during ceasefire,” Huckabee wrote.
“Actual bed! Being Ambassador is filled with luxury and adventure!”
Huckabee is a staunch supporter of Israel. The avowed Christian Zionist sparked outrage in February after saying in an interview he “would be fine” if Israel took most of the Middle East, in accordance with his interpretation of the Bible.
