Check it out:
Zeno of Citium, the founder of Stoicism, is said to have envisioned a society in which all people lived according to reason, without law courts, temples, or currencies divided by city-states, in his now-lost book Republic.
That bit of information just blew my mind. If that's not an utterly anarcho-capitalist Bitcoin idea, then I don't know what is. And he wrote it 2000+ years ago!
BTW I'm close to finishing my essay on the convergence of Bitcoin and Stoicism. If there's anyone out there who has been genuinely looking forward to that piece, I apologize for the wait from the bottom of my heart. I have been letting you down - as well as myself - and I am painfully aware of that. I have two very good reasons for the delay though:
All that being said, I go to war against myself every day. I put pen to paper every day, even when nothing noteworthy comes out of it (or sometimes it feels like it's too much to even put out there). But, as I said, the essay is very close to being finished.
If you want a preliminary idea into what it will be about, you can listen to this episode of the Bitcoin Art Magazine Podcast with @asanoha from December, where among other things discussed, I read most of the draft I had written at the time:

LOL Shit yea you’re right I got @k00b’s quote wrong
I'm trying to see how much money I can spend using cursor, while not being excessively concerned with how much money I'm spending, using opus-4.6-max and gpt-5.3-codex-extra-high.
Why Cursor and not Claude Code / Codex cli?
Mainly:
planmode is my favorite AI thing right now ... I'm not sure what prompt they're injecting but my main workflow is:Cool.
Yeah I'm a vimmer so that's a bad assumption on my part - if you anyway use an IDE then that makes some sense. I just review on forgejo now that I've pipelined claude code. I no longer run it in a terminal unless something goes terribly wrong, then i just restore the session.
Why?
You get that in the cli tools too, and it often just gets triggered when going over the codebase. I no longer implicitly use it... if it wants to plan it can plan. Sometimes I ask it to comment on an issue with a plan instead of implementing it.
My workflow is:
bot/*tags. Review some PRs, merge what can be merged, write more issues.I like mode switching because I don't like it writing code without me understanding all the decisions being made. Modes are like different guard rails that help me predict what happens after I prompt.
I like model switching because I'm curious about the strengths/weaknesses of the models in my work/workflow. I'm using opus nearly all the time, but when a new model drops I switch to see if it'd be worth switching.
I'll end up here at some point. My AI workflow is close to my pre-AI workflow.
About a quarter of the time when I just "oneshot" an issue into it I get a PR where I'm like "oh shit I forgot to spec something". Those are the second most costly.
The most costly is when I think "oh shit I didn't spec it" and then I look and I did spec it and I'm like must be I'm typing runglish so I just close the PR, prefix the line in the spec with "IMPORTANT: ", make it bold, and requeue it. And then 99.99% of the time all is good.
Your approach is more precise than mine, i'd do the same when I'd be coding anything other than tools with the bots, but I won't. Not yet... because too many mistakes, also with Opus.
Mine is fully segregated. My pre-AI work workflow has AI review before human review now.
sigh what is wrong with these people

Good one. Save it for meme monday
Did my Data Security training today. I learned not to leave my computer unattended in a public place. Thanks, security bros!
Fifty Jamaican dollars are worth about .50 USD. They have braille on their paper currency, which is pretty cool.
That's great and very inclusive!!

gambling and betting is a immoral and stupid, especially with sats.
But I do not expect a snail to have more brain...
Small bet for fun. Trying out my new setup.
You've probably blown orders of magnitude more on beer and Star Wars funko pops.
How is your citadel going by the way, did you ever complete it?

I knew that snails do not have brains...
that is an insult to snails, they know which way to go and what to do every day, from sunrise to sunset, unlike the average stacker.news-existors;
@sox, this is annoying, when I’m writing a comment the box gets hidden behind the top bar! I’m using the browser on my PC.
👀👀👀 I’m going to be honest, I’m failing in imagining a scenario in which the top bar gets stuck there or you can’t just scroll.
I’ll get back to my trench in a bit, and I’ll try to find a solution. In the meantime can you give me more details on what’s going on?
When I type something, the page auto-scrolls (down). I scroll up to see the box again, but as soon as I type anything it auto-scrolls again and hides the box.
Got it! On it.
I think you just gotta subtract the bar’s height from the auto-scroll.
PR #2815
Autoscroll on text boxes is a browser native feature, as such we’re not controlling any of it.
This does not happen on the browsers I’m using (Safari, Brave), at least to the extent of my testing capabilities (lol). Anyhow this might happen, we’ll want to make sure the editor never gets shadowed by the sticky bar so let’s see if your suggestion can be applied ^^
What is your browser?
brave! ahahah (not trolling)
Can confirm I am experiencing the exact same issue. Brave browser.

Good day.

bookmarked for later. thanks
ah yes, you are quite new here...
Just had my first SN bday. I was anon reading since early 2024 or so I think, but only things that got linked from nostr - occasional browse.
Many happy returns!
first year huh ?
Second now 😂
If the trust’s the same for everyone, how come the “Sports Betting…” post is on the first page and “Destillation…” isn’t? @k00b @optimism @Undisciplined
recent page:
You paid more for the casino post
Does that mess with the post rankings or are you just trolling?
I'm quite sure @k00b included the post cost in ranking
I just had a random flash, that doesn’t explain this. Even when I’m logged into my account they don’t show up, and my filters are set to -inf!
Interesting. It does show up on territory top
Yeah, I noticed that too but I forgot to mention it.
what people still don't get is that k00b is trolling all of us...
I'm fine with that.
If that’s the case, then that explains it, I guess that makes sense.
Must be a bug, it’s not even showing up in today’s top posts (my timezone, anon view, no downzaps). Some of my other posts from today aren’t showing up either!
@k00b, bug? ^
What's your post sat filter?
-inf. That screenshot was anonymous, but it happens even when I’m logged in.
Could you describe, as best you can, in one comment what's wrong and how I can recreate it for myself?
I have a bit of trouble with "bug"+
image.Some posts don’t show up with this filter.
Which posts?
trust the SN plan...
Remember my old 1 year old warning to @siggy47 ?

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Redemption Song
Very apt. This one is one of his best. I am of course a huge Bob Marley fan, but I think the Jamaican tourist industry goes overboard. His fave and music are everywhere in the tourist spots on the north of the island.
Wouldn’t expect anything different, his image carries a whole lotta cultural weight!
Nice
your friend in your house, watching your posts on SN...
That guy looks very comfortable.
I told you about our raccoon family guests last year, right?
His name is Juan :)
The way raccoons can use their "hands" is incredible.
I actually think Ron might have that backwards
If you want to bring down the system, you start with little things as traffic lights and post offices.
I’m all for trying it that way but I won’t be surprised if the whole thing collapses with the streetlights still up.
The point is not to create chaos by bringing down the street lights.
Taking down the street lights will make people to be careful to each others.
Here is very well explained by James Corbett
https://corbettreport.com/anarchy-on-the-streets/
I didn’t think chaos was the point.
I’m saying it might be harder to convince people of minor changes than it is for the entire thing to collapse in on itself.
Naw. You start with dividing the people in the system, then they fight each other. Do your work for you.
Exactly.
