So much practical wisdom here! Thank you!

I sat the whole family down and we went nuts with image generation on this thing last night. It's pretty amazing what you can make when every iteration towards the goal gives you two choices from different thinkers at once.

I mean, I would call that being an advocate, but I suppose that's just a semantic difference.

But yeah, thanks so much for sharing. I think I'm going to take that approach now too. Does it ever cut you off?

So I guess this means that my new motto is, "put the peg in the hole first, and determine if you want to use the round one or square one later!"

Thanks for sharing. This is really helpful.

Dude! Arena is such a great idea! I can't wait to use with this.

Make sure to give back and rate the answers, it's one click :-)

Did you make this, or are you just an advocate?

I love your nym. I also love your explanation, despite not understanding it. haha

Thanks! I am very open to checking out new ones! Of these models, do you recommend different ones for different tasks? Budget is definitely a big factor for me with this.

Probably obviously to most, but my favorite months are July through November and the b is for my two favorite cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Satoshivision.

I alternate between minimax m1 and Claude sonnet 3.5 using ppq.

I’ve heard that they each make hundreds and potentially thousands of sats every day from our fees.

The fatcat executives at sn have exploited the little man for too long! Rise up!

I was today years old when I learned you can bookmark posts on stacker.news. This will save me some serious emailing to myself time. 🤦‍♂️

Great idea! This sounds fun! Can't wait to see how this develops. I'll see what I can try it with.

Many perform regularly, including faculty recitals and what-not. What many can't do, is actually hang on a pro gig. Obviously, there's a massive diversity of routes one can take to get paid to perform, and there are a decent amount to music profs who can't really hang in any of them. The typical audience at a faculty recital isn't the demographic that's paying for it, and many music classes force the students to go to them as part of their grade. On one level, that makes sense as you can't learn music if you don't experience it. On another level, it creates a fake sense that these professors have a consenting audience. Don't get me wrong. There are lots of great musicians in academia, but there are plenty of terrible ones as well.

I just noticed who I was talking to here. I definitely don’t doubt that’s true in your discipline (Econ, right?), but not in music. I learned pretty quick that many (not all) music profs can’t hang on even entry level gigs.

Oh, I loved the teaching and the students (mostly). It definitely wasn’t their fault that they were ill equipped…but they were, and to a significant degree. What bugged me the most was the fact that they were basically buying a ticket to better paying jobs. I only taught part time, so it didn’t create too much angst in my life. It was a fun thing to teach and then put it away when I actually went to work. But all in all, when it comes to my own kids, I’m pretty skeptical of the state of higher education based on my experience teaching there.

Awesome! What setup do you recommend to folks when you do that? BTC pay server?

Look into the "Great Society" for an intro to LBJ and the economy.

As far your whole, "you're racist for criticizing any black person," argument...meh. It's tired and I am too.

I taught at both a state school and a very expensive private university for a number of years in the 20-teens and into the 2020s. My experience is that kids are now buying degrees. Different people are paying for them, depending on the kid, but a vast majority of the students could not write to save their lives. I felt like the kids mostly wanted to learn but absolutely had not been equipped for critical thinking. By the end, in my music appreciation courses, I had multiple weeks dedicated solely to learning persuasive writing and how to debate. I got so much out of my college experience (early 2000s, degree in political science), but I'm reluctant to encourage it for my kids today... :/

Rad!!!

MYSTERY SOLVED!!!

The only people I had shared this with outside of stacker news was a Bitcoin meetup telegram group for one of the cities here in Ohio. I’m constantly shilling stacker news to them to little avail and was like, “wow, this meetup group is way more into old school arcade games than I would have guessed.” This article as an explanation makes more sense.

Ultra big kudos to the author for mentioning the lightning payment option, given it’s a crypto magazine and I always get the impression those things are downplaying Bitcoin as money.
