Didn't mbappe leave psg for Madrid to win the champions League?~~

I got rid of view history and recommendations. I just get the search bar when opening youtube. Unless i have a clear idea about what to watch, I will just end up closing it again.

Very good share. Makes me think a lot about my use of LLMs. I really wonder what the next generation of coders will look like, the ones who grew up with LLMs.

Guess we'll adjust to this new reality. One way or another.

I'm from the generation that stopped remembering facts. I remember where to find them. That was the Google effect. We adjusted. Our phones are now extensions of our brain. It feels normal. Because i lived the before time, i feel some of the negative side effects. But my juniors by only a few years have known only this.

And they're fine. One way or another.

It was the days of Umbrel plebs. Many people didn't understand what they were doing.

Many likely didn't know i was using them for LOOP liquidity. They were just happy to see routing activity.

Same.

Yeah, that's indeed not the full picture i gave.

I had however managed the rather pleasant scenario where people would just keep opening channels with me basically becoming the N-2 node towards LOOP. As i would very actively rebalance, they could set high ppm towards me and profit down the river. I ended up with 3 to 1 rate in terms of inbound versus my outbound. It happened naturally without me looking for extra inbound. People would just tell other people to open with me and they'd profit.

That was a few years back, so not sure how it works now.

For sure. But Kraken wants you to trade. Not buy and hold.

According to Alex Bosworth, some people route at 4000ppm with LOOP. Even used to be 7000 pm at some point. 0.4 and 0.7%, respectively. You can see it accumulates quickly if you do it several times per day.

Size matters for sure. Not sure about the current status, but at the time, below 1 or 2M sats per channel, it didn't make much sense. For LOOP, I think I had 10M channels, at the very least. Probably more, but I don't remember the details.

One of the reasons I stopped is that I felt I was playing outside of my league. I had too much capital locked in those hot wallets, and I grew too fast, too quickly. Some hardware and software problems reeled me back in, and I never got around to doing it again, at least not as a routing node. To do it properly, what matters is size. So unless you own disposable Bitcoin at the 1+ BTC unit level, you're likely not going to reach this kind of APYs.

Back when I was still running my node, I was at 12% APY when I was providing liquidity to LOOP. From what I gather from the related Telegram groups, this seems to be still quite a profitable endeavour. My largest channels would be depleted several times per day.

Nice one~~

vim over emacs, every day~~

EDIT: spaces, here.

Auctions will come back later. I think @evanbaer has hired a real coder to change how they are implemented... vibe-coding seems to have hit its limitations... in the meanwhile, just direct buy parties...

Maybe i should start using qualifiers like that when writing about myself for my next grant application~~

By design, LLMs don't know if they are right or wrong. My friends usually do. So the answer to your question seems obvious to me.

Thanks.

It's interesting to see how on the one hand he dismisses the alleged lack of placebo group and on the other hand he hails eyewitness testimony as valid proof.

But i did not dig deeper into this. Who knows, maybe he's onto something. Future studies will tell. Or they won't.

I'm ok vaccinating my child for the typical childhood diseases, the same way i was a child.

Ok tnx :)

@cristaiji what's the summary of the podcast? Don't feel like spending nearly two hours not knowing what to expect... tnx!

This whole interaction feels very bot-y.
