#asknostr

I just restarted my node, while that process is happening what...uhh... what happens to my lightning channels? I clearly can't get a zap but, like, do my channels get eliminated and the lightning balance shot back to on-chain?

Just new to it all.

If it's a short restart the channels should be fine. If you go down for an extended period, then you are at rush of your channel partner force closing the channel. Then you would end up getting your Bitcoin back in your on chain wallet.

your channels are now marked as offline with your channel partners. they will reconnect and be active again once your node is fully back up and running. there is a small chance that one of them could close, and if that happens, you'll eventually have those funds depostied back into your on chain wallet. but a simple reboot should not trigger that response.

The excitement of finally 'unlocking' Nostr for myself is the frustration that I will successfully convince zero IRL friends to do the same.

This is an artist's colony at the current time.

Albyhub is pretty easy to get up and going, much easier than I originally thought it would be.

Same here, came when it first came out and poked around. Checked in every once in a while but never kept the same keys. So much more usable now and to me shits working like #magic. Welcome back! 😀

Tfw you’re like ugh only $104k lol pretty surreal tho

One of the crazy things about AI and robotics is that in the year 2025, most people still don't use Roombas or other robotic vacuum cleaners.

They're useful in many contexts, but they're not clearly better across most metrics than a human with a vacuum cleaner yet. They've been out for a very long time, gradually improving. And that's one *very specific* task with pretty clear visualization requirements and floor mobility requirements and pretty low safety thresholds with high repetition levels, and yet that market isn't dominated by robotics yet.

That's an example of why I continue to view white collar computer-work AI as being *way* ahead of in-the-field blue collar robotic AI in terms of competing with human jobs.

The moment where it's a joke to buy a human-powered vacuum instead of a robot vacuum, rather than a debatable trade-off, is kind of the canary in the coal mine moment for consumer robotics. We can't even nail that yet, but once we do, it's kind of a floodgate moment, considering how long that task has been in the works for, and it will probably quickly expand to other areas following that moment.

That's kind of my basic test for robot hype. Yes, they're getting better and better. Yes, they do backflips now. Yes, it's a big deal. But in-the-field blue collar skilled work is a really high bar, and we haven't fully cleared the "vacuum carpeted areas of the same house floor area over and over" stage of that yet.

Everything is kind of hype until that stage is fully breached. Then it's off to the races.

What's your view of that heuristic?

Welcome to Nostr, I hope you stick around this time :)
