Yes, indeed are good guys behind Muun. I have nothing against them.
They only create a bad product.

Trying to decide if it is better to support lots of content or a few really good pieces of content. So the question is should I zip lots (10 sats) or zap a little (50+sats)?

This isn’t about the algorithm but more of a personal question about giving value for value.

And as an aside I am always surprised how few people donate to the rewards fund each day.

@k00b you see?
I've told you in the past to build a dedicated sub for "marketplace" or at least a sub where merchants that accept Bitcoin they could do their promotions, ads, introduction etc.
So SN users can just go to that sub (like job) and start spending their sats on something that they really want and merchants accept BTC.

CREATE THAT BITCOIN CIRCULAR ECONOMY RIGHT HERE ON SN!

Just playing with ChatGPT, I feel like it isn't just professors and devs that are headed for challenges. I'm super surprised by the "creativity" it is capable of. Ask it to write a funny story or poem about any subject and it nails it. Right now it feels cool to have it write some rhyme that makes people laugh. But I'm thinking, that in the next few months, genuinely witty and funny people will be accused of using AI. Story tellers, comedians, writers of children's books and role playing game masters will all hear things like "you just pulled this from ChatGPT", no matter how original the content is. Political arguments and scams could even sound way more convincing than they should with a little AI magic!

I'm going dystopian for now. I am totally ok with computers being better than humans at chess and driving.. but creativity and imagination was an area that I thought we'd always rule. I was wrong.

I can't believe I'm on this list. Thanks to those who have read the posts about my country, I want to be the voice of those in Venezuela who can't speak because their lives are in danger. Happy weekend.

Bitcoin has all sorts of lightweight clients that have to trust their parent nodes. This trust can be removed with zk-proofs. See one such project: https://stacker.news/items/256267
I hope to see more of that, for example watchtowers that can prove to you that your lightning channel is not being closed or SPV wallets that can prove to you that you haven't received a payment.

This is a really tough question. Our thinking is that this is user experience driven and by making liquidity as easy as possible to access (and access quickly) will be the biggest driver of marketshare. We also want to have the depth of liquidity and that's stemming from being interoperable across implementations.

There's a few things that we're optimizing for with Magma: Speed, User Experience, and Reliability. It may not the cheapest place to get liquidity or the most on-chain efficient, so users that want to optimize for those qualities will likely choose other options. But lightning network operator time is precious and probably the dominant cost of running a routing node.

My in-laws built one of these in the mountains of New Mexico north of Tijeras. Not quite this extreme - they stopped short of the indoor plants and bottle walls, but 3 of 4 exterior walls were rammed earth in tires, giant south-facing windows to maximize solar gain in the winter, off-grid solar and a metal roof to catch water. It looked really nice (walls were finished with stucco) and was in a beautiful spot on a south facing mountain slope. They eventually sold it for a live aboard boat, but it was an incredible place for the couple decades they were there.

I would love to live in an earthship. I will say, builders/owners should develop an instruction manual for all of the off-grid systems. They're all a bit unique and visitors will be totally unfamiliar with their operation and peculiarities.

This is a bit controversial and it doesn't fit 100% the scope of the thread, but remove free nym changes and remove free LN adresses etc. Make them cost a little sats. This way we can build up our profiles over time as we stack sats and it could be a monetization angle for the longer term :) I think users will mind when they hear the suggestion but I think if it's implemented it will feel quite natural

AI. Its a terrible name. It isn't a savior or a villain. Its just an evolution in computing and it will not end civilization. Relax. The issue isn't AI. The issue is us. We are lazy, fat, and dumb. AI is an easy scapegoat.

I generally try to work nutrients into my diet rather than supplementing. There are two supplements that I think most people need to take, though, in order to get optimal amounts:

  1. Vitamin D3 in the winter for those in temperate latitudes. Otherwise, get some sun.
  2. Vitamin B12 is produced by bacteria and one of the tradeoffs of modern hygiene/sanitation is low B12 consumption. This might be unnecessary if you eat enough fermented foods, but I'm not sure.
