So, I'm as big of an advocate for raising posting costs as anyone and if they're going to cost 100 sats, that's cool with me.

I did want to check in and see if the post I just made should have cost that much or if there's a bug somewhere. It was the first post I had made in over an hour.

It might be a bug. Are you sure it cost you 100 sats? It says that in satistics?

33 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined 15 Nov 2023

Interesting. It said it would cost 100, but it actually only cost 10.

How's the higher cost experiment looking so far?

694 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b 15 Nov 2023

There might be bug in the cost calculation in the browser (it might cache an old value ... I'll keep an eye out).

How's the higher cost experiment looking so far?

Qualitatively at least it looks pretty good. Recent is way less noisy afaict

No need for thanks. This has got me really excited. I had heard about the team, but your post gave more details. This winter could bring some real visibility to the team/league. I wonder if WBD did an episode yet? Peter should, considering his Real Bedford project.

From now on, if I see a SN main post with a link to a twitter, substack note, nostr note, without any explanation (YOU HAVE THAT OPTION TO ADD IN SN) I will just flag it. Hard flag.

If you have something to say, say it loud on SN directly, don't post me shity links from other platforms, just to clickbait and get visits.

@k00b I know you are working on the SN subs features. Here are some thoughts about those subs. Maybe can inspire you for later. Maybe are too many rules, you know better, pick what you like. I am just throwing ideas.

sub owner can set his own fees policies for posting in that sub or for a post inside the sub:

only cowboy hats can post or free for all
only SN accounts older than x time can post
set specific min fee for a post comment
set where to go the sats from post comments
set where to go the sats received for the post
disable comments on a post (maybe the author do not want comments)
set a % of all sats received in that sub to go automatically to SN or FW to somebody else.

you mean a meta post? Or a new Bitcoin guide? Not much inspiration. I am inspired when more people are asking interesting questions. Too much shitcoinery is going on and that is a distraction.

both!

Too much shitcoinery is going on and that is a distraction.

am I the only one thinks more people are not necessarily good? attracting the right crowds is better, otherwise it just brings more noise or potentially ruin the vibe.

go slow is better.

I don't mind to see new people on SN. Is very good that they migrate from other scum places like reddit. But most of them are just grifters and/or shitcoiners that only create noise and do not want to come to the light (Bitcoin). It takes a lot of time until they can see what is going on, but until then, they are a distraction from things that matter.

I'm assuming it only reached your neck of the woods now because a global recession has been here for months now. When prices rapidly increase then you need to know somethings brewing and its not coffee.

Ever since the interest rate hikes it's been harder to acquire funding. Initially this resulted in hiring freezes, but more recently I'd say that companies have been taking things a step further and shedding non-essential activities (usually R&D).

These have been large layoffs of several hundred people that also impact local communities. It's rough out there!

50 sats \ 1 reply \ @elvismercury 15 Nov 2023

I can't speak to what you're seeing, but a related factor in my industry is the advent of AI. Most companies are only beginning to figure out how to use it, but a lot of executives really do see it as an opportunity to shed dead weight and bullshit jobs. This isn't happening in a vacuum, obviously, but it is absolutely a factor.

It wasn't just people playing culture war: Elon laying off 80% of Twitter, or whatever, did not pass unremarked in the lofty executive chambers.

304 sats \ 0 replies \ @orthwyrm 16 Nov 2023

I can see that. There are certainly people I know in high paying positions which can, frankly, be automated. Especially within the companies who don't "make stuff" and are more in the business of managing information (such as law, finance).

For myself, AI is a godsend. Our company is too small to hire dedicated software engineers, and I am a mediocre programmer with no formal training who has just sort of stumbled into the field over the years. AI has probably doubled my capacity thus far and I'm still learning how to incorporate it into my workflow. It frees me up for more work in the lab.

Started a 21-day challenge in which I aimed to learn something new about Bitcoin or interact with its ecosystem every day. I would also record my progress on Stacker News.

Day 19 - Was thrilled to encounter Zapread and registered an account with it. Though my excitement died down when another patron @Undisciplined mentioned that Zapread seems to be inactive these days, I have hopes that having another Bitcoin-focused Avenue would stimulate my brain juices and motivate me to write more.
