whut?

That's ok. "Bitcoiners" is kinda gross anyway with all the fiat maxis in that group.

ideal hyperbitcoinization vision

I'm closing on 13 years in and I am still not convinced that that is ideal. If the standard (which is always by decree) is Bitcoin, then what... shitcoiners become the cool rebels? I remain of the unpopular opinion that Bitcoin does best when it is optional, not mandatory. Fuck standards, embrace best practices to solve your problems.

Educational effort > standardization effort?

It was a smart thing to say. I try to remember smart things. Had to look up who said it though. lol

Never listen to Nicole Kidman, except when it's about nuclear weapons. lol

11. What did I miss?

What you're missing is trade: Optimize your time by doing what you love and find others that love other things. Trade with them.

There's 2 sides to the sovereignty funnel: the one where you gain sovereignty to get rid of parasitic foundations is what you describe, but if you stop there, you're fully isolated. Replace the parasites with mutually beneficial trade without rent seeking middlemen and overlords. You don't need Bitcoin when you're fully isolated. So don't forget to work with others and trade; it's what Bitcoin is for.

Context is basically your in-chat history. When you're coding, your tooling generally injects something like an AGENTS.md and its analysis of what your code does into your prompt. Together with the "conversation" history, this is the context that gets analyzed together with your current prompt.

Do you “wipe” the models memory somehow?

Yes. This is the best practice. Like "start new chat" in a chatbot. See for example this from Anthropic's best practices doc that says you should do this.

I've extensively tested it and it works much better when you clear out the rubbish from context, and we've developed similar ideas around this for non-code chatbots over the past year on SN, see for example this thread where @SimpleStacker makes the case against ChatGPT memory.

This would be awesome! Buy CCs through BIP-21 "invoice"?

For me, tight instruction aligning models like Claude or Gemini (not so much GPT/Qwen/Deepseek) combined with very concise hints files stating what to avoid and a constant awareness of context poisoning (small jobs with fresh context win almost always, only exception is when I don't accept a result) has worked okay-ish.

We've seen this playbook many times now. It's unlikely to be a business decision because this is bad for business, so I am wondering: who is orchestrating this.

I think that the best way to ensure that Elon's robot is going to be real is to convince the public that it is impossible.

I've never really cared much for "the" excellent. If you are excellent that is awesome, but I think that it's the desire to be excellent and the attitude that comes with it that is priceless.

Well that sucks now you gotta be good all year to get it in 2026 too. Lol.

Wasn't there an EO that declared the 26 Christmas too?

Hey guys, thanks that's super generous!

Maple?

I think that there will always be a use case.

Hah! That was my first thought too.

Europeans are proud of their freebies?

Not proud at all; entitled.
