But that amount of garlic. WOW. My wife wouldn’t let me near her for for a week

Nah.. this is dumb.

That looks like "Bitcoin" which is not the same unit as sats.

Also, anyone suggesting "bits" is mad. A bit is a measurement of data.

"sats" are to Bitcoin as "cents" are to "Dollars". We could always do SI Units like "millibitcoin". Or make a symbol for sats that's a play on the extinction of the dollar..

Sounds like a casino or the lottery. Rigged. Haha. But there is always the lucky one. Like solo mining hahaha

If a non custodial money transmitter is responsible for a few of their users using it for criminal purposes, that same ruling should surely apply to mobile phone service providers when users make calls or send each other messages for criminal purooses, or to ISPs if any of their users do criminal activities using their internet service. Why is it just money? What about ATMs or banks that give money to people who then do crime?

It sets such a ridiculous precedent

Pizza meetup on pizza day was gooooood

Bits already have a meaning as a unit of data. Wouldn’t like to overload the term unnecessarily

This was so good. Hearing this kind of humor in a podcast was so refreshing. Loving freedom tech for this.

Just sad I'm probably too late to have Gigi inside of me

Core is a project. It's a particular (the original/reference) implementation of Bitcoin components. There are devs that work on it.

"Support for Core" sounds weird. This is not team sports. Unlike bitcoin itself, the implementation and devs that work on it are not "the solution" to money.

It's really important that we are verbal when there are decisions we don't agree with or make us comfortable. This is not about feelings and supporting people. This is about opting in/out of (voting for) changes.

The devs and others involved with pushing that PR were sketchy. The follow-ups were arrogant and dismissive. It's obvious that people will lose confidence in that. And it's really good to see that people have shown they won't just accept every change as gospel.

We want a better money. That's it. The core impl. and all the devs that have worked on it up until now have done a great job, and there have been many arguments along the way. It's important. It's good for bitcoin. But we need humility, transparency and better communication if it's going to continue to be the primary impl. that everyone uses.

💯

I'd appreciate that. There seems to be a bit too much of arrogance and entitlement from some of the messages I've seen. Working on core should be done with humility and honor - a great responsibility, it is.

It's all healthy though. We need to have family fights to keep focus and attention. It also leads many to study bitcoin more diligently and understand their place as node runners / hashers etc.

Great idea!

I actually switched to Knots this week.

And only just noticed this debate was posted. Need to watch tomorrow.

I remember as a young kid in the 90s, having a book called something like “how computers work” and reason it diligently, learning so much. I remember learning SI prefixes from Terra down to Pico.

Giga- (bytes etc) was hardly even a thing then. I remember having a 1.99GiB hdd and like 32MiB of RAM or something. And I think that was my upgraded pc - don’t think I knew the specs of my first PC. Also, I think it was like a pentium II 166MHz (or 366?) processor…

Amazing how many orders of magnitude processing power and storage have grown in the last 30~ years that felt like a blink of an eye.

Life is fast

I am a huge Lion King fan. Along with The Matrix, it is my top ranked movie and other movie I can recite most of the lines to. Watched both so many times as a kid.

I just watched “Mufasa: The Lion King”… damn. It was good. I loved how much they tied back to the original movie.

This is one way. When you think of the better way, build it or suggest someone builds it. In the mean time we have these great ideas as improvements

Finally season 5 of You is available on Netflix for me. Cannot wait to start. Not sure what it says about me that it’s one of my favorite series … hahaha

Know that feel haha

I would like this as a local AI that only I have access to. No way in hell am I using OpenAI

Factory should make things clean, what on earth is that code doing? Hahaha

Its possible to use good tools badly

Claude Sonnet 3.7 is way better than GPT-4o-mini (as a coding assistant). I'd been using Claude up until now but wanted to try GPT-4o-mini for a bit. It kept getting context wrong, like caching old versions of files and wasn't able to update.

I know 4o-mini is a smaller faster model so maybe not a good comparison, but just a note to myself.

Right now AI writes code that follows our human made design patterns and principles for clean code etc.

I wonder if these will become irrelevant as there will be more optimal solutions and as humans do less of the coding, readability/maintainability because less of a requirement. Still a far way out for sure - especially since we still have to verify and fix a lot - but.. not that far.

I’d be more worried if she responded with the npub from memory

Another benefit of split keyboards. There’s a space for your coffee to spill when you knock it over.
