hilarious dream.
I always have the one where I'm can't get dressed or stay dressed while trying to get out the door for a vacation or appointment, and for the life of me the luggage I'm packing keeps getting strewn about and I misplace it, and while searching for it something else always interrupts and I never get to where I'm going, or if I do actually get out the door, then I'm getting in a car or a train and then the car or train shrinks to a size that I can't fit into.
that's what that guy Peter Zeihan used to say, that alot of Tech companies are just a zero interest rate phenomenon. It was one of the things that I think he got right.
I'm still left wondering if technology is the key to an abundant future or is technology just the cherry on top of abundance.
I'm pretty sure technology is helpful with a lot of agriculture/medicine. however, then there's doubts like is modern medicine really all that, is the internet all that.
The Romans lived as long as we live today. So is all the medical tech just a fancy way to further drain the working class of their hard earned money.
i woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I do know that anti-biotics are pretty amazing as well as penicillin.
is that because minimum UTXO size would determine the amount of verified identities possible?
100,000 sats = min UTXO
100,000,000 *21,000,000 / 100,000 =
100,000,000*210 =max 21 billion identities possible?
I'm hoping for the bandaid problem. I'm getting ready to pop open the code now.
It's a DB... I think it's a DB because it's interfacing with web pages that could be open in different locations by multiple people at once.
I'm not a native computer programmer so I wouldn't know what another solution would look like. I just take the code as it was created by others and assume it's the best solution and just try to find the bandaid problems.
" if you're a central bank and print fiat to buy Bitcoin you'll add a short term anomaly in the data but it'll smooth out eventually."
Short term blip... This reminds me of Matthew Kratter mentioning that government owning Bitcoin is like government setting up a trust fund for itself.
It will be interesting to see if any of the central banks figure it out, but ultimately they will have to spend it. I assume as individuals who work there figure it out, they will either try convincing bank decision makers or just leave. The last one will turn the light off.
The tide's direction has changed from centralized and very unfair to decentralized and fair.
Welp, you're right. Sounds like a design flaw.
Perhaps it's made this way bc only step 5 knows if it should continue to additional step 6, and only step 6 knows if it passes criteria already or needs to go to step 7, etc.
Hmm. The way it overall knows it's finished is when there are no incomplete subtasks. But the criteria for propagating subtasks is at the subtask level.
I probably can't actually change whole structure, but I can recommend moving a "commit" around.
You'd set a terrible eXample
so I've been using Nostr as an escape from a problem I can't figure out at work.
Today I'm flipping this on its head and talking to myself on Nostr to solve my problem:
Workflow logic Bug:
main task contains 5-10 sub tasks, all of which need to complete for the main task to complete.
Error: every day a couple hundred (out of 100,000) main tasks are marked as complete even though they should not be because all required subtasks have not been created and/or marked as complete.
How it works:
Main task gets created (Status incomplete)
-->sub task 1 (status incomplete) starts, ends (status: complete) creates sub task 2
-->sub task 2 starts, end & creates sub task 3
-->etc
every 3 minutes, a separate procedure checks main tasks:
if all sub tasks are complete, main task is updated to complete.
So, for this error to occur, either:
1. the chain of sub tasks fails to create the next incomplete subtask (look in log)
2. the commit for the completed sub task happens before the commit for the insert of the new incomplete subtask, and the main task is updated to "complete" in this short window of time
3....
Questions to look up:
Are all Subtasks marked as complete? for the incorrectly completed Main Tasks?
oops, Matt, i'm sorry i used the word "you" while referring to Dave. sorry about that. Ramsey is good for keeping people out of debt...
ok, I'm reading your post and realizing I need to forgive Dave Ramsey for confusing people I care about that Bitcoin is a scam for criminals and not doing even the most basic research into it while also directing people to "approved" real estate advisors.
at some point i'm like , you're a discredit to your religion, your state, your city, your listeners!
ok i haven't forgiven. okthis is why i'm probably going to hell. grudge against ramsey.
interesting:
"the Spirit of God enters our hearts and gives us the ability to declare Jesus as Lord (1 Cor 12:3)"
is one the sign of the other?
I like the Bitcoin memes, and when I discovered I could have them with a side of Novela on Nostr, I was hooked.
Whoever you were tussling with on the daily and the behind-the-scenes tech network bootstrapping were all so entertaining. It's an art you practice that probably doesn't have a name :-D
Awwww! Your posts back then are why I am on Nostr
I assumed that they collaborated with humans sometimes. If their chosen humans can't just print money out of air, they might need to steal it. Just a thought.
humans might just be scarcer than satoshis.
if i calculated correctly 1 human per 200,000 sats.
if people are correct about 100,000 sat UTXOs, we could double the population and each one could still have a UTXO.
i might have gotten the math screwed up.
oh, interesting. so it was similar to the Golden Spike on the Transcontinental railroad across the US in Utah
2 more instances:
My phone was inside, windows closed and I had to pump up my bike tire outside. I struggled with the Shrader valve and thought very specifically why did the bike have to have two different valve stems. The next time I checked my phone for something, the suggested article was about the difference between Shrader and normal valve stem
Same scenario, I was visiting an aunt and struggling to make coffee with her Keurig machine and thinking how much I didn't like Keurig machines. The phone was outside on the patio, glass door closed. When I finally got the coffee and sat outside and opened phone, first ad was for Keurig machines.
This reminds me that now I have no longer pay for YouTube premium, I'm starting to get very generic ads that seem AI generated. One day the word "galavanting" was in my head. Within a couple days, I noticed that I was getting an ad where the character was using the phrase "galavanting about".
Today I'm getting an ad where the main character explains she likes her coffee black with no sugar, just a day after I wanted to write to someone the same thing.
I'm told that it's just LLMs predicting things, but it sure feels like Google/Android phone read my mind.
sometimes I admire the Italians or just truly passionate people who just let it all out. maybe this is why. i was always surprised how by how many French couples would be kissing in the grocery store aisles.
