So if I understood right - it is propably fake. Form an account that makes "prank call" videos of political people.
I refuse to believe that all those people would be so easy to fool.
I was introuced to the main principles of bitcoin by Pomp and Peter. They are not bad people even tough they might be tempted to have questionable guests, promote scams or hold edgy sponsors...
I ecpecially loved the energy that Pomp was radiating through the space during the best business show times. People like this do important work in bringing bitcoin adoption forwards.
Yes, there are wiser people in the space, podcasters who are better informed and more likely to question edgy behaviour. However, you cannot expect everyone to nosedive straight to the bottom of the rabbit hole.
The next hype bullrun is just around the corner.
The gpt3 bot has been broken from I think early february.
It seems that Will has now fixed it. It surely adds more liveliness to nostr space!
Feeling so priviledged by seeing these on my back yard few nights every winter. Pic just from few weeks ago.
Upper: Northen lights (usual)
Lower: Barium clouds from some swedish rocket test (never seen such before)
The fully customizable nostr client:
Average weekly earning in a maufacturing job was 80$ at the end of year -55. Just for comparison.
In todays wages, shouldn't a similar bill be little bit over a weeks salary? 1000$ ish?
How much would this be today? I live in a socialized healthcare country so not aware of the situation in the other side of the ocean. In Finland, bill for this kind of week would be about 300€ - rest is paid by everyone in the form of taxation.
Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen paid Greenpeace to make a campaingn against Bitcoin. Main narratives against bitcoin and proof of work are energy use are high energy use and e-waste, both of which are based on false/old data.
An envirometal topics spezialiced artist Von Wong was contracted to make an art installation for the campain. He made a real masterpiece - the green skull.
Many bitcoiners thought that the art pice was really cool, and also noticed the endless memeing possibilities. It is some of the most badass bitcoin art ever done.
The artist jas DM:d in twitter. The misconceptions behind his art were corrected and he is already half way to bitcoiner. Hopefully he will do more bitcoin art in future.
I'm quite interested that what would be your starting plan?
Spefically I am interested of the value conponent that your fund would be generating. Are you supposing that the teenagers do excessive amounts of work on their free time in the sole purpose of chasing the pounds in a family business? This is of course on good lerning opportunity about the value of work and ones time.
OR
Are you counting on arbitrage/speculation/inflation to work for you. Maybe a bitcoin and sound money experience? Overall 1000£ is not much for a full family financial journey.
For comparison. Median income in Finland is a bit over 3400€ for private sector employees. We pay approx 30% taxes from that, which results little bit over 85k real income in three year time. If you had a small starting money to live with the first few years, and a reasonable odds for success - many adult wage earners would keenly join this kind of excersise.
I am not using the bird app at all - so wasn't aware of the bet.
Balajis is willing to bet a million dollars against one bitcoin that dollar will hyperinflate in three months time.
Odds are low and the potential payout is still 'only' one bitcoin. Does not make sense.
I think Will just stopped maintaining it as damus development took his time. Also, i believe the bot cost some real money to run as the GPT 3.5 is using a token model
#[0] thanks for a nice presentation at nostrica! There was some discussion on having a nostr keys as sign-up in other services.
I was impressed by how vida.page manages it. You can set up a profile there by using only the nostr profile, no e-mail/phone etc. required.
They don't ask for nsec key in sign-up/sign-in but only npub and a relay. They then send a verification key as nostr private message. Kind of the same way an email sign-up works.
Of course you still have to have a good nseckey handling when using the nostr client, but there is no need to trust the nsec-keys to any app/service that does not need it to sign stuff.
Well, at least the wendy's cashier will not give you plastic toy potetoes when you ask for a hamburger. And when you then complain, fail to see that there is no hamburger, and explain that the potatoes are also a good example to show you what a food generally is like.
I just tried the new Bing GPT-4 based chatbot. It is so badly screwed up that it is hard to understand.
I asked about US banks reserve requirements and it confidently answered: 10% or 3% if certain conditions apply.
I pointed out the truth that the requirement was dropped to 0% at 2020 whem covid hit. Bing confirmed this, but did not want to aknowledge that it provided false info at first.
Then I asked if the 0 reserve requirement made bank runs more feasible. It brought up SVB.
This was how it explained the SVB default: (Note! Totally flase info here.)
Also, the "references" 1) cnbc, 2) latimes 3)washington post, did not contain anything that actually backed this story.
Delibrately misleading or just a really bad AI?
There is no cloud! There is either your computer or somebody elses computer.
Google reminded me that I am having a backup of my pictures at Their computer.
Translation:
"Backup space is almost full (83% used)
Soon new pictures cannot be backed up and will not be visible in memories or search results
Not now / Start 100 Gt trial"
Related to this, what is the best method to start your own home media server? Small amount of technical difficulty can be accepted.
Bing search coded this for me. I was looking for a way to easily generate a wallet and the 12 words and a mnemonic on a offline computer with a way that I could easily verify: python code.
What are the key errors with errors?
Here is a possible Python script that will generate a bitcoin private key and a corresponding bip39 mnemonic, based on some web sources123. Please note that I cannot guarantee its correctness or functionality, and you should use it at your own risk.

Ooh - first this kind of a meme in nostr? Haven't seen these in a while.
What was it called?
Wooly? - - no, thats a lamb thing...
Wierd -- no no, thats all the other posts
Wake -- no thats for surfing, like a nice wave behind a speedboat, surfing on those is kinda nice.
I give up
Anyway, nice to see nostr gaining adoption on both sides of the asile. Welcome!
