Coffeezilla seems to be all about prediction markets in his latest videos, here a new one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE8Lt5mBQb0 (different but similar to the one shared here #1349855). You can agree or not with CZ's disdain towards prediction markets and his love of regulations, but the examples he gives clearly support @SimpleStacker's claim that
haha every time you say CZ you throw me off because I think of the Binance CZ
The thought crossed my mind, too. But don't want to give scammy Changpeng too much credit...
also, that Kalshi GTA 6 ad sure was something
Unpopular opinion: you don't necessarily have to write code to be a cypherpunk 👀
You have to wear Bermuda shorts and gaze into the ocean?
Optional, but recommended :)
Working my way through Refactoring UI and it's pretty excellent. I never had much of toe hold for learning about UI design, having trained on the art side of design (and very little at that). It does a great job of surveying the most important design facts/rules/pitfalls and supporting them with examples.
I hope the designers will not make SN working slow and clunky just for the sake of adding tons of bullshit fancy stuff that is not really needed. 90% of today's websites are totally trash because of this trend of adding crap on the webs.
One of the problems I've had outsourcing design is that SN would lose the look of otherness, the funk, that I like it having. It's hard for someone to know what I've made look weird and what's me being naive. To many designers, anything that isn't fashionable, any personality that doesn't fit inside some accepted window, may as well be naive. It's also not their fault. I'm so naive that it's not easy to tell what's what.
Keep SN Funky is a slogan I can get behind.
man i would fail this course because i don't really see what's so bad about the left one ~lol
It's not that it's bad imo, but that it can be a lot better.
Watching Avatar 3 tonight will post a review later tonight in ~movies.

Well.. now I know why I couldn't find gpt-5.2 on lmarena:
Un fresco día por aquí, he estado pensando en que debería haber un territorio de referido, donde se pudieran compartir enlaces de plataformas que no sean estafa. También si ya hay una de música que tal una de filmes de todos los tiempos no importa si sean silentes o manga, donde se pudieran compartir opiniones. Qué tal?

My work week is winding down, vacation is just on the horizon, and I have a fresh pot of coffee. Life is good.
I haven't noticed any obvious spam but SN seems to be consistently getting >3k items a day this month.

So there are lots of zombie items? I don't seems to see too many. Sometimes I see some AI slop here and there.
Only a k00b, or whoever created them, can see those zombie items!

A k00b filter?
Imagine a Darth filter.
unpaid filter

previous 🧟 items report
What are these items? I don’t understand how they’re being made.
Someone has automated unpaid replies or there's some bug, that they are being generated automatically.
unpaid items (zombie/ghost)
I think if you disconnect your wallet, empty your account of cowboy credits, and try to make a post, a QR code will pop up for you to pay. If you don't pay, the post still enters into the database and thus gets an item number, but it doesn't show up anywhere, hence "ghost items".
Makes sense
This isn't how someone is creating 3k or so items daily. Do you really think someone is doing hours of labour doing so?
No, you can just write a script for it.
Something like a bot or automated this?
exactly
By posting daily updates of this you're also helping. Welcome.
2026.... BREAKING NEWS ! Predyx acquired Stacker News ! From now on all posts on SN will be gambling posts.
Hahahaha. Will @grayruby post more than 5 times tomorrow?
Buy YES
Should be more that 50 for he neatly closes out on this daily
That’d be an absolute haven for scammers! Haha
