I'm not sure how to share things correctly on #amethyst maybe this works 
 #bolt12 is awesome  
 Why? 
 Prime ribeyes only 15,000 sats now used to pay  over 100,000 for them 🤠 
 Even if you hold it for several confirmations? Will this still be true with FCMP? 
 It's okay to put metal in the microwave. Put medieval plate armor in the microwave.

 The promise of web 2.0 is completely dead. Consumed by AI scrapers. I wish I had more hard drives before everything locked down.

 Not reliably enough to count on it. And probably not for something at the scale that Alex would be working on. 
 What is your IDE? 
 Yea, fair enough.

I frequently use an x200, so I needed to figure out something more lightweight. Also, if I wasn't able to use vim, I would never write anything. NVChad is perfect for me. I can't imagine a faster workflow. 
 As a novice coder, it has been invaluable. I don't have time to read through an entire documentation, just to figure out that the library can't do what I want. I have an unrelated day job. I just want to ask "how do I do X with Y library, or is there a better library I should be using?" 
 It points me in the right direction so I can actually read the *relevant* docs. I am a novice coder, but I am very familiar with hallucinations. I've been running local models for a couple years now. I understand that it's just a next token predictor.

That said, you might find some benefit in allowing a model to autofill boilerplate code for you. I don't program enough for it to be worth my time to set that up (I also use NVChad and there aren't a lot of easy tutorials for that, like there are with something like sublime or vscode) 
 May you rest in peace, Aaron. I'm sorry we failed you as a society.

 I need to try this on some documentation pages when I get to my computer 
 I have only learned to program in python. It is the first programming language I used where I could actually make a functional program quickly. Actually being able to get results that I wanted really motivated me to keep learning. I am not a professional Dev, but I have pushed multiple projects to github. Some of them AI related, most of them not.

I understand that it's slow, and I understand why, but I can still make anything that I can imagine in python. That's why I use it.

 If Alice and Bob have only a single channel opened between them, when the channel closes, are all of the back and forth transactions commited to the block chain, or just the final balance? 
 Everything I've ever bought from Samsung has been a buggy piece of crap. 
 They believe that if we have deflation, people will simply hoard money instead of investing in real things that benefit people. They might be right. https://image.nostr.build/c6395335eb4e1a6f0a6eed9c2b2ef0872f9dfa684d5dfe46b40859591f01b390.jpg 
 I buy that 
 And businesses stop producing, because it is more financially viable to just hold the money they have. 
 Lol

 So, you're predicting line goes down? 
 Those places would make sense if you didn't know anything else about those countries 
 It's not about the security, it's about being able to maintain the infrastructure to have any kind of sizable mining facility. 
 TL;DR
The other prediction markets had Harris winning. 
 The amount that the markets take off the top would have destroyed any profit. I was going to do that, but predictit is terrible. 10% off the top and either 3% or 5% of anything that you transfer out. Total ripoff

 GOOD MORNING NOSTR.

 Morning ODELL, I sent you a DM, but I don't know if you saw it. I assume you get spam all the time. Mine is not that. May be worth your time.

 DAYLIGHT SAVINGS IS A SCAM. 
 It still pisses me off that fixing it was passed unanimously in the house and then just died before the senate even voted. They finally had a chance to do something good and just said, "fuck you" instead.

 A meaningless statement 
 I wish I could get pinged on replies to comments. I would like to know the answer to this. 
 Don't worry, it also forces you to backup your wallet with google services, so nothing to worry about.

 Oh man, you're right. I don't know why I heard it differently before. 
 Yea, I could hear it in my head when I read your message. I rebooted that old emachines a thousand times.
