Interesting. I look forward to hearing what kind of neat ideas they come up with!

I think overall having the kids earn money is a great idea. I'm not as keen about having them do it online. There's so much screen time in kid's lives nowadays, already. And - anything that could be done online, can also be done by someone that's not local (or often automated).

But getting the work via online marketplaces, though, that's probably by far the easiest.

My kids were both mother's helpers as a first job. Basically, they helped out with younger kids, while a parent is in the house, but busy. Also, nowadays, kids barely ever just play with other kids in the neighborhood, outside. I think that sometimes he got hired just for play time.

That's a REAL job - in that it's not something that adults purchase just to support the kid, or because the kid is cute.

Zero.

As long as I'm not actually nuking my food in flimsy plastic containers, I'm fine.

I honestly think it may be an engineered distraction to the nightmare that is the current food system - processed trash carbohydrates, seed oils, and sugars. The majority of the population (in the US) overweight and obese.

"Focus on the microplastics", they say. No, I say "focus on whole foods". And, of course, I eat carnivore, which I'm convinced is by far the best for me.

Oops, forgot the block - it's this one - https://mempool.space/block/000000000000000000020a852eec4de2f78f03b495276a0abb6d62ea726e9c34.

The fee range is between 0.20 - 130 sat/vB.

Nope, I was thinking about doing it myself, but didn't get around to it.

But I'm pretty sure it works, other people have done it.

Now whether it actually gets shown, I'm not sure about that. But at least you'd have ONE post that would always be a good reference.

Editable posts - seems like they'll take a while. And this should work now.

I was traveling overseas in Burma, many years ago. At a cheap hotel, there was a patch of grass. A couple of the workers there were cutting the grass, with scissors, while crouched on the ground.

I told a Burmese guide about it, and talked about how inefficient it was. He said that it was a good thing, because at least that way they have jobs.

Fear is definitely the mind killer. But I can see the fear of not having a job as being a very immediate, powerful thing, as opposed to the much more vague and abstract "it's more efficient and will lead to greater wealth".

It is for me.

Actually, it looks like if I created a NYT login it might work, they say "limited free articles".

Ha ha. Yes, it's actually an under-appreciated benefit. Think of the savings in...

I figured, it's about every 3 or 4 days. Then about one third the volume. So, I estimated 10%.

I do a tiny bit of coffee, no alcohol. And I will eat some occasional berries.

Maybe people do differ in this regard, but the norm, from talking to people and reading about it, is for a greatly reduced volume.

It seems like it would be, but it's really not. And that's because your body is absorbing almost everything. There's not that build-up of volume that you had, before carnivore.

I'd say the "not fullness" is a pretty constant. For me, anyway.

Great list, thanks.

What happens when the options change? Will you re-do the post?

Maybe you could put in an empty "post", and then put your actual list in a pinned comment. That way you could change it when necessary.

There's so much great information in Stacker.News that is transitory, because you can't update posts.

Are fees of below 1 sat per vbyte happening? At one point Sparrow, for one, didn't allow that. But I think things may be changing, or have changed already.

It's not just PWAs, right, it's the APKs as well?

That really sucks. Spike in Graphene adoption

Very interesting, thanks.

Is a potential use case for RAG to set up something like a debater bot - a resource that would be primed to answer arguments on a particular topic.

Maybe I could load up a set of my preferred books on a topic (like bitcoin, or climate change), and then have my own private LLM that would also primarily be about giving good replies for debate? If so, how might one do this?

So, for instance, when someone comes up with a reason why bitcoin won't work, I could come back with some well-structured arguments on that topic.

This is as opposed to thinking, "Darn, I know I've heard a great response to that argument, but I can't remember it now."

Also - have a sheet of paper to slice up nearby. This way you can test it easily and objectively, without running your finger across the blade.

I just did a "digital detox" yesterday (#1093374).

Not boring, but no screens. It feels good. I need to figure out how to screen-proof a greater percentage of my time.

Have you done one of these retreats? What was it like?

I started drinking coffee because there were all these studies, telling us how great coffee was for health, mental acuity, etc.

But now, knowing more about how these kind of studies work, I suspect ALL of them to be funded by the coffee industry. I did a little clicking on this article to see if I could figure out where it was funded, but couldn't figure it out.

Regardless, I believe most of these studies are funded by organizations with an interest in promoting coffee.

But I still drink coffee...

What is RAG use?
