Will re-record once this post COVID coughing stops

Film industry: it always about the characters; not the action.

Me: man this show sucks, zero action low budget junk.

Crazy is as crazy does… crazy needs its frocking dose… maybe it’s a thorny rose, love is sweet, my loves are foes…

Great track 😎 nostr:note1chqja73ulr2ld9w8k7mmvwgl6skw708z9aj9ys7uqufhkk3h8uxq8j96cc

Nostriches in the US later this week 🦃

We’ve begun rolling out the ability for Strike users globally to buy bitcoin with their debit card! We’re now officially live in the 36 countries below and are actively rolling out to the 65+ countries where the Strike app is available today (iOS is rolled to 100% and Android is actively rolling out to 100% through the week)

It's not the case for everyone, but for a lot of people, participating in something that they perceive as bigger than themselves is really important. They want to leave a tiny mark that goes beyond their own life in some way in terms of reach or in terms of time.

Sometimes it's religion, sometimes it's patriotism, sometimes it's a certain political/ideological movement, sometimes it's a professional guild, sometimes it is advancing technology, sometimes it is advancing art, etc. Could be any number of things.

Mine is mixed, but it's basically the intersection of technology and human rights. I want to support technologies like Bitcoin and Nostr and others that empower individualism and human rights. People should be able to engage in transfers of information and commerce largely unrestricted. They should be able to protect themselves from currency dilution. They should be able to do this regardless of their race, religion, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, or whatever, as long as they are not actively trying to hurt others. It should require probable cause and the allocation of deliberate resources and time by authorities to prevent bad people from doing these things, rather than being automatically applied to everyone as a matter of course. And this can't really be asked for; the technology has to be built and shared so that the burden of difficulty is on those trying to make it otherwise.

And for me, that means educating people about these technologies, providing capital or economic guidance to people these technologies, otherwise doing whatever small part I can to help improve the success or adoption of these technologies.

Other than that, I just want to leave my little slice of the world better than I found it. I want to help rather than hurt. I want to beautify rather than destroy. I want to unify differing views through objectivity and open talk and help create collaboration and coexistence, rather than sow unnecessary division. This doesn't scale as well and can't win as decisively as technology can, so it's mainly just my side thing.

What's yours? What is the thing(s) that you want to participate in that are bigger than yourself?

Don't take yourself, or anyone else, too seriously. I almost always disagree with what I myself am saying, without further qualification. Reality is too rich, and language is too poor to ever properly put things into words.

Broader than that. Let’s say you publish a study and link the paper. The LLM might read the linked content and find other studies you had no idea about that show some data that when looked at together reveals some non-obvious insight.

One pre-made prompt I added to the design is “connect the dots”

This would look at anything adjacent to the context of the note (for whatever reason it’s related) and display that to the user.

The idea is to help connect random related but unknown topics, ideas, findings, etc. I think this is probably one of the best ways to learn non-linearly and how kids explore ideas.

Every time I hit my stacking goal, I extend my stacking goal.
