Increasingly from what I'm already doing, I'm more likely to agree to podcasts if they are more grounded in terms of promotion/headlines/thumbnails, and will decline podcasts if I view them as habitually sensational in terms of promotion/headlines/thumbnails.

Wait, so "tiangge" has its roots in Mexico?
If someone says I’m not Mexican enough and that I should go back to my country, I’ll send them this video👇 I’m literally a co-organizer of the Tianguis de Bitcoin: a Mexican market with a Bitcoin touch. It’s just like a traditional tianguis, with the only difference being that merchants can only accept Bitcoin. It's the closing event of the Ledger Leaders Week (@ForoBlockchain) Join us this Saturday at @LaCasaDeSatoshi from 11 am to 5 pm in MEXICO CITY. 🇲🇽 RSVP link in the description below👇

This is why I believe in Bitcoin. If you only watch 9 minutes of my content, ever, please let it be this.

Maybe they should get spoons instead of shovels. Definitely not heavy equipment.

A Chinese court has ruled it illegal to replace human workers with AI purely for the sake of cost-cutting. The court decided that companies hold a social responsibility to treat workers fairly and pay them what they're worth.

Underrated use of AI: let's do this manually to validate the idea before writing code

As a developer, I've always liked markdown. It just toook AGI to get us to worldwide adoption. Next in my checklist: YYYY-MM-DD domination

Everything is markdown now and it will likely be an important part of the rest of human history. @gruber must think this is extremely funny.

Most governments really seem to see people as cattle.
Newly proposed regulations could force South Africans to sell their gold, foreign currency, and crypto assets to the National Treasury if they exceed a threshold set by the Finance Minister. dailyinvestor.com/cryptocurr…

The fake Sparrow wallet scammer is back in the Apple Store. This is the 3rd time I've seen this scammer in the App Store. The moment you enter your seed words, he'll steal your BTC. @FTC @AppStore @SparrowWallet @CorySwan @BTCsessions @dotkrueger @1914ad

It's clearer when you view having bitcoins as "possessing" it rather than "owning" it. You possess the private keys. Someone else can possess them too, at the same time.

When I have a typo, I don't meticulously correct it as much as I used to. Weird how that works.

I just got this
I used Nero to burn CDs as a kid and only later got the joke: Nero burned Rome, and "Burning ROM" is such a perfect reference.

bitcoin’s lightning network also works exactly like this when making a payment
Mathematics, Physics. This is Dr. Matthew Henderson's (@matthen2) animation modeling a lightning strike by finding the shortest path in a random maze, first by sending out a frontier through the maze — and then tracing it back. (Used with permission)

The worst: most never cared and the ones that did gave up. It's been a year now and the fact that the freaking football league controls the internet is accepted by society. I am short Spain.
Spain's egregious Cloudflare blocks are breaking Docker now 💀

There probably a little bit too much of us adjusting to AI rather than adjusting AI to do what we want.

Square just auto-enabled Bitcoin Lightning payments across 4 million U.S. merchant terminals. No opt-in required. Sellers receive USD by default. This is the most significant Bitcoin payments infrastructure move since the Lightning Network launched. Every coffee shop, barber, and food truck on Square can now accept sats over Lightning at zero fees through 2026. Jack Dorsey's Block didn't ask for permission. They flipped the switch.

This is how I saw it as a kid going up NLEX driving to Angeles to visit family. Except they were Transformers, not humans.
In 2010, Iceland introduced the concept of electrical support structures designed to resemble towering, walking iron giants.

Product Market Fit
this guy let an AI agent handle his scam texts for a week a scammer asked him to buy a $500 gift card the agent spent 4 hours "driving" to target. sent status updates like "i'm at the red light now, there's a very handsome squirrel on the sidewalk. do you think he's married?" then it said "i forgot my purse, going back home. wait, this isn't my house" it sent a screenshot of a captcha to the scammer claiming its "eyes were blurry" and it couldn't see the buttons to wire money the scammer actually solved the captcha for the AI the scammer eventually typed: "please just stop talking. i don't want the money anymore. god bless you but leave me alone" total time wasted for the guy was 14 hours the script should be open source lol

This. When working with code that touches money, I don't ever want to hear the reason "because the LLM said so". Yes, use AI. But let it properly convince you that it's proposal is correct. Just like you would another human, you shouldn't blindly follow what it proposes.
Replying to @SanhEstPasMoi
I have been trying to tell people this for a long time now. As impressed as I am with LLMs, I am equally frustrated. Just let go of the code… Nah man, I write business critical production apps that deal with money. I can’t afford not caring about the quality. ”This a preexisting test failure and not related to our change” No you dummy, you messed up and broke it.

If you can be trained, you can be replaced. True before AI. True today.
