šŸ¤” how are you categorizing ā€œnormalā€? Are you capturing the btc-20 txns in this data too?

I guess we’ll find out šŸ™‚

Does all social media reduce to the empty pursuit of popularity contest likes and follower #s in the end?

Twitter kinda washed tbh

Cool to know I’m not the only one that feels this way about Apocalypse Dreams

I seriously had a fellow engineer tell me his job was easy a couple years ago. Seriously discounting the fact that it took him 10+ years to get good at his job.

A newbie to his discipline wouldn’t even know where to start.

It’s really common for very smart engineers and people to completely underestimate their work. Chatgpt has all the code available at its fingertips that any noob does. When you tell ChatGPT to do something, just knowing that the thing you’re telling it to do is something worth doing is insanely valuable.

The feedback after it gets it wrong the first time is even more valuable.

ChatGPT is a new coder on stackexchange, think very carefully about feeding it your 20 yoe battle tested engineering judgement

The most nefarious part about large cloud AI is that once again— you are the product

LLM’s are impressive because they are trained on tons of data. The base level of knowledge scraped from millions of humans is there.

What’s nefarious is in interacting with an LLM, you are training it how to think and reason like you. Your good ideas are going in and being added to the training. You get some value but you give a lot more

šŸšŸEnd of maple season 2023 update:

Sap collected: ~ 20 gal across 2 trees

Syrup made: ~ 56oz

Pic shows early vs late season color difference.

We had tapped a 3rd tree but got no sap out of it. My neighbor was driving by when I was pulling the taps and hopped out of his car to show me where to tap next time. Neighbors are awesome.

Overall, pretty happy with the first run! Season was a little weird this year, hopefully next year is a little more consistent
