It's truly shocking how many bitcoiners use that walled gardened, privacy invading garbage platform.

My theory is that Nostr #zaps is the reason BlueWallet chose the end of February last year to remove their custodial Lightning service. Think about it. Damus enabled zaps on February 10, leading to a surge in payment activity, immediately stress-testing the BlueWallet node, which was not prepared for a large amount of rapid transactions, and probably didn’t have the liquidity to handle it. The operator of lndhub.io didn’t want the responsibility of running a bank, so they rushed to shut it down, and had no idea how to communicate this effectively.

Is this real?! 🤣 what a day

Ok if you don’t think the state should exist and all taxation is theft, we’re definitely going to agree to disagree 😂

Just for future reference

One technique I learned a long time ago to make yourself conscious/lucid within your dreams is to train yourself to always look at your hands during the day. If you do this enough you tend to do it in your dreams as well, but in your dreams many times you don’t have the right number of fingers.

This becomes a triggering moment which can either wake you up, or with enough practice, make you lucid dream. If you get good at this you can spend your nights exploring what is effectively an interactive “AI art” generation program in your brain.

This was a really cool way to explore how the brain generates consciousness, because the experience of consciousness in your dreams is so different. In many cases the things in my dream felt “more real”, as it felt like the imagery was being generated from the raw trained model instead of trying to render variants of this model from the results of photons entering the brain. its hard for me to describe, but its the best way I can think of in terms of what we know about ai.

Anyways, I always found it funny that the finger issue became a real thing in AI image generation models, as it was something I relied on for detecting consciousness rendering bugs in my dreams.
