0 sats \ 0 replies \ @nullama 13 Jun \ parent \ on: AOSP isn't dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developers tech
One of the main devs is in the front lines...
And now they have to do much more extra work to support Android 16 because Google didn't release the code for the devices...
Seems like a bad time for the project, but they're continuing.
I think in the end GrapheneOS will need to use their own OS, and hopefully their own hardware. They tried doing the hardware bit some time ago but it didn't end up working for some reason. Maybe it's a good time to revisit that.
In terms of the OS, they discussed this a bit and the long term plan is to use something along the lines of Redox
We have a brain.
Yes.
The brain is a biological computer
Not necessarily in the same way we know computers. We still don't really fully understand how the brains works.
I will leave this quote here:
All computers are information-processing systems, but not all information-processing systems are computers, and the human mind is an information-processing system that is not a computer.
This article explains the point further, focusing on the views from Alan Turing, the father of theoretical computer science.
OK, cool, it makes sense. I thought there was something wrong. I just need to configure this a bit more. Thanks for the reply.
mmm, I actually have an issue with SN and phoenixd when making payments.
It seems that SN sends an OPTIONS HTTP request when trying to pay an invoice, which phoenixd replies with
"Invalid http method (use the correct GET/POST)"
If I change the OPTIONS to POST in my localhost test it seems to work fine.
I also am able to manually pay the invoices created in SN, so the only thing wrong seems to be the OPTIONS method in the request, when it actually should be POST.
You're right!, it works flawlessly.
I actually read a bit into it, and you can even get an estimate of the current fees, so, for example, to receive 2m sats, you would have to pay this fee right now:
phoenix-cli estimateliquidityfees --amountSat 2000000 { "miningFeeSat": 1219, "serviceFeeSat": 20000 }
So a total of 21,219 sats for receiving up to 2m sats, which is about ~1%.
phoenixd rocks ⚡
I've seen phoenixd being discussed here quite a bit, and I have a question about it.
It seems great, and it works seamlessly. But, isn't it a bit too expensive to actually use it?
Having to pay 2m sats (~2k USD) to open your first channel seems massive. And any sats you send to it are basically trapped until you send at least 2m sats, which will go to pay the fee, so you end up with 0.
Am I missing something here?, or does it really cost about 2 grand USD to use it in practice?
I think it depends.
On one side, I do agree that having a system that works with typos and incomplete text ends up with the user writing incomplete inputs filled with typos...
But on the other side, I've found that the best types of answers you get from these LLMs, is when you actually write a well crafted text, in which you specify all the important things that matter to you. I guess this might be what people call prompt engineering. When you're interacting with the LLMs in this way, it actually makes you think a lot more about what you're asking, and makes you write a much better question, which sometimes makes you get to your answer even before sending the prompt as you figured out while thinking it through.
Qt, not QT. It's pronounced as "cute", not Q, T.
And no, Satoshi was not a vibe-coder.
Forms for GUI application usually are done visually, and then the low level code is generated from a tool of the GUI framework.
As an example, you can see all these forms (.ui files) from the current Bitcoin Core implementation using Qt here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/src/qt/forms
These .ui files are created with a GUI (Qt Creator), and then the MOC (Meta-Object Compiler) generates the required code from them.
All of this is not "vibe coding", it's standard GUI programming.
That's true. I agree with all this.
We indeed live in amazing times.
I do like the "magic" of sending digital files to a website and a few days later receiving the physical thing in your mail. I know there's a 3rd party involved, but it's quite nice.
Is there a minimum threshold before payouts, and what is it?
It seems to be implied that there's no minimum with lightning. It says that they will try to pay with lightning every time, and if it fails, it will retry. If you get the on-chain minimum (0.01 BTC approx) it will be paid on-chain.
Apparently every time a block is found on the pool it tries to pay.
Note: You must ensure that you have one or more Lightning channels and the necessary inbound liquidity to receive payments, otherwise payments to you will fail.
Had a quick look but didn't find any mathematical proof.
Seems like a clear case of survivorship bias
There might be an infinite number of other universes where other physical laws exist, and life might or might not exist there. Maybe there are some other phenomena there that doesn't exist in our universe. But we don't know because this is the universe that allowed life to emerge.
That's no mathematical proof.
Interesting!
Would this work for example with the BoltCard?, it has an NXP NTAG 424 DNA chip.
I mention this because it's much cheaper at £4.99 compared to €25,00 per Satochip
So if you want to help fight off the attacks against humankind, help by writing GPLv3 licensed software. MIT licensed software is not helpful because companies can take it, make it addictive, and attack humanity with your code.
If you look at the real world history, you will see that many companies don't really care about the license. That's partly what motivated this project to exist: https://gpl-violations.org
Be more like Satoshi, and release your code with as few constraints as possible, i.e. MIT:
If the only library is closed source, then there's a project to make an open source one.If the only library is GPL, then there's a project to make a non-GPL one.If the best library is MIT, Boost, new-BSD or public domain, then we can stop re-writing it.I don't question that GPL is a good license for operating systems, especially since non-GPL code is allowed to interface with the OS. For smaller projects, I think the fear of a closed-source takeover is overdone.
With the Bolt Card you can pay sats directly from your own lightning wallet by simply tapping the card on any merchant that supports it, for example BTC Pay Server, or others.
Note that coincorner made available that card for cheap, but you can use any other card with a similar chip. It's not linked to any company in particular.
It is actually faster than a credit card transaction
