learning to build on bitcoin/lightning/nostr.

Porn helped VHS win and make the internet more popular. Porn is always quick to adapt to better tech and markets.

So who is making Nosturbate?!

The hits keep coming when the market is already down!

📰 JUST IN - Chinese DeepSeek AI launches multimodal "Janus-Pro-7B" model with image input and output.

"This new model beats OpenAI's DALL-E 3 and Stable Diffusion across GenEval and DPG-Bench benchmarks."

It's already posted, too: https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/Janus-Pro-7B

And it's also under the MIT License.

The market might be taking a beating on this news, but in the long term, this surely only increases competition, right? I'm already hearing talk of "AI's Sputnik Moment."

Chances are, in my humble opinion, that in the long term, this only serves to pump the AI bubble harder and faster.

What do you think?

Fascinating, I wish I knew more about AI/ML. It seems like it's really a small, powerful group of companies out there controlling everything, but maybe open-source will even the playing field.

Before I deleted my Reddit account, I was feeling down pretty often. My subs were mostly doom and gloom and /r/all was the same.

I’m trying to change careers late in life, and Reddit is filled with fresh grads saying that coding is DEAD, there is no future for comp sci or programming, AI is going to kill and enslave is all…

I saw someone claim to be a senior at a FAANG company even say “most of the code has been written, there is no low-hanging fruit” and soon human programmers would be some uber-elite few.

Maybe they’re right.

I’m only on Nostr now, and I’m less stressed about the future. Ignorance is bliss, I guess, and all the doom and gloom from Reddit or twitter is out of my view for the most part.

I have a lot to learn, like math which was a weak point for me, but I’m excited for the future. I’ve learned you can mostly learn anything, it’s just hard work.

Proof of Work yields rewards. You have to expend the energy, you have to trade your time to do something hard that may seem pointless but is in the service of some higher purpose.

Been a while but I'm pretty sure it was Ep 99: The Spy

I'd bust a nut, buy a ColdCard, and one day tell my grandchildren how Nostr made us generational wealth, from the comfort of my own Citadel.

I can’t believe I ever gave Musk $8 when I could have been ZAPPING people the hardest money invented, DIRECTLY. Through a system of nodes and relays controlled by no single third party! In fact, I can run my own!

Do you think assets like stocks, bonds, etc will end up tokenized? If so, is it going to be on one chain, or many?

Etherealize (eth's new marketing foundation) says "All roads lead to Ethereum".

I know RGB, Taproot Assets, and others exist but I'm not too knowledgeable about the process. All the hype I see is about this stuff being built on Eth/SOL, and I don't understand why those people aren't taking advantage of what already exists in Bitcoin.

It's funny to me how after meeting with all the big-name Bitcoin miners and Bitcoin Magazine folks, Trump's own company (WLF) announces they are building businesses on Ethereum 😂

Well color me orange, I didn’t think he’d fucking do it.

Glad for Ross.

Because all MAGA has talked about for four fuckin years is “Biden crime family hurr durr mah!”
