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!
I haven't drunk the night before a doctor's appointment. This should be interesting.
Can't blame them...
Don't mention the war.
Just circle jerk and virtue signal all day everyday about self sovereignty and Bitcoin fixing everything...while you can't in fact be bothered making the effort to attach send and receive LN wallets to your SN account.
Don't ever mention The Greater Israel Project...or the fact that the US military Industrial combine supports Israels land grabbing genocidal war crimes.

Tried various Claude models for help with some academic work today. Tried Opus 4.8 High, Opus 4.6 Medium, and Sonnet 5 Medium.
I definitely think 4.6 is still better than 4.8. 4.8 seems to want to get too deep into things and ends up confusing itself / not explaining stuff properly.
I also found some regressions in 4.8 high, where it was trying too hard to apply some format, and give me inferior results, even hallucinate way more often as a result. That's when I learned that 4.8 high is nerf'd and 4.6/4.7 high equals 4.8 xhigh. Switching stopped it from trying to framework things and just do what I say.
What's the biggest downzap you've seen 👀
This one #1523894 by ek is a beaut 😍 -1069
From the Spark chain analysis back peddle thread

I believe @SimpleStacker was the recipient of the largest downzap. I’ve forgotten what for.
For leading the resistance against discriminate downzapping and getting upzapped for it. It was zap war though.
I knew it had to do with the great downzappening but I forgot what the actual post was.

Edit: oh crap I didn't refresh my saloon feed and I missed @SimpleStacker already replying lol
Your saloon doesn't autoupdate?
Nothing does - I have that turned off to not be distracted while I type.
I can't imagine going back to those dark times
And I'm damn proud of it
Your pride is mired in hypocrisy.
You misrepresented the facts...as above.
You led a vigilante group against maximising the use of LN in SNs.
You used personal attack to obstruct reasoned debate.
Sorry but the resident Zionist downzapper has surpassed your moment of glory.
My post on Greater Israel is now the most downzapped post ever.
In fact I hold the record for 1st, 3rd, 7th and 9th most downzapped posts ever.
You are now second place.
How fleeting is glory and fame.
Well done
Salute 🫡
You salute a liar and fraud.
I think I might have found some rare gems on a goodwill run this morning. Never seen these before...

wen u abuse fiat, u aid ur own abusers;
wen u abuse tech, u are shortening ur own lifespan;
The time you spend mindlessly scrolling through social media is time from your life wasted in vain; just a few days ago my child was being born, and now he is four—tomorrow he is already leaving home. Life is a mist, as the Bible says.
I'm working on the list for this week's Austin Bitdevs Underground, and there's just too much stuff. All the noise about BIP 110 makes it seem like not much else is happening, but the reality is very different.
How does the list guide the meetup? I noticed on prior posts of yours too that it is huge!
I start with a QR for the list so that everyone can get on the same page, and then present a selection of items from the list for discussion grouped by topic.
For instance, this week I imagine we'll do all the Spark/privacy stuff together and all the BIPs together and a good chunk on mining. And then a hop around releases and tools and research discussing things that attendees find interesting.
I try to read out most of the items on the list and when it seems like people want to talk about it, we do.
I remember thinking - last month iirc - "this must be a
could-belist" because it would take way too much time to discuss it all. So I guess that was the right feeling.Would you say that the devs discussion focuses more on current affairs - i.e. the current outcome the list describes, or the road between what's here now and what's envisioned?
Definitely leans more toward current state of things, less future oriented. It would be an interesting concept to focus more on what Bitcoin could be in the future.
It does come up, in the context of some new tool or development, but rarely is the meeting positioned around what the envisioned state might be.
I used to frequent a FOSS meetup a while back where we'd cover events, then a short talk / presentation / AMA and then the final round before networking time was: what are you working on? This made the socializing part much more forward looking.
I like the idea of a time for what are you working on. Currently the socializing time is mostly at the beginning of the meetup, this seems to make it more less about what people are working on and more about easy chit-chat.
Right. Pre-meetup socializing is to get comfortable, this is important too, especially if you have newcomers. Post-meetup socializing is for bonding. Can even just reserve 10 minutes or so for it if your participants are on a tight schedule. But it's good to have some time (and still have the space) to linger - or go for a pizza.
oof!

I think someone created an account just to come here and be a nuisance with that.
anything goes - the drama architects watch what people are passionate about, study the details, and create complex drama to keep people bickering & divided...
