https://www.wolframalpha.com never received as much attention as GPT.

Probably because it's math based, although you can write questions in English as well

Have you seen LangChain? It combines ChatGPT + WolframAlpha for reasoning

reply

Those "Verify you are human" captchas are going to be useless soon with GPT4 and similar software.

It's getting harder to separate bot from human online.

There are some deep fake videos on Twitter that look oddly realistic - we live in a wild time

The rent is too dam high!

All done! My mother always said sharing is caring so stackers enjoy the fat rewards today for being active on SN

reply

Never thought I'd get so excited for a red square over a bell icon. I don't know why by the square is very satisfying. Something rustic about it.

reply

That tax return just hit! Should I break sats with the SN family? If this post gets 20,000 sats I’ll drop 1M sats for a donation in the daily rewards.

reply

How do you donate to the daily reward?

reply

Bottom of the page there's a link that says rewards, the donate button auto fills 1000 sats but you can make it whatever you want. Apparently to even over 1M thanks to @BlokchainB.

Two MVPs up here. That's a crazy rewards chart.

6006 sats \ 2 replies \ @ek 22 Mar 2023

You may even get most of it back with that 20k comment tip haha

However, not sure if it works like that since it was only me who tipped you

reply

It depends someone might come in and game the Algo and capture the reward

Insert Ric Flair WOOOO

When they said defi is the future, I didn't think they meant definancialization.

Fed watch to see where in particular the bullshit meter really goes off. Fountain podcasts for the commute. Working on humility and better active listening.

Stacking sats.

Just finished up a new blogpost https://sebastix.nl/blog/ligess-your-personal-lightning-address-with-nostr-zaps-support/ and is ready for some reviews before I share it on my socials ;-)

Just sitting here with a cold beer watching my transaction jump from a block to block in the mempool before it gets confirmed. Mesmerizing.

reply

Wondering which is better, to be rich or to be successful?

reply

Depends on how you define each. I know plenty of people who never made much money, never really moved up the ranks in their job, and barely made enough to retire in comfort. But they are wildly successful because they have a family that loves them and watches out for them and many friends who's respect they have earned.

Figure out what success looks like to you and chase it.

reply

I’d start by defining rich and defining successful.

reply

I woke up trying to make heads or tails of the banking crisis, if that's what it is. Economists I respect like Lyn Alden believe it's a situation limited to a few banks, but I remember 2008 when after Bear Stearns everyone was saying it was an isolated situation involving a poorly run investment bank (sound familiar?), and even after Lehman all I heard was "it's a liquidity crisis", not a solvency crisis.

This feels similar, but bigger.

reply

It is bigger but the net effect is only that it allows them to fold everyone into a CBDC whilst pointing the finger elsewhere. Don’t think we need to be overly dramatic, anyone with their eyes open can see it coming a mile off.

reply

Still not sure how much is echo chamber. Maybe I need some sunlight. Is the world really burning down or are we the crazy ones?

reply

We'll see. Off topic. I discovered your podcast. I'm listening to your recent episode regarding El Salvador. Very interesting. I have had plenty of personal experience with MS-13 in NY.
