fiat food was a good trip down the rabbit hole in that regard
it's an english tea thing, i do have loose tea and green tea, but nothing hits the spot like a plastic teabag and milk.
i would say luck might play more of a factor, but by working hard and showing up, you can stack the deck in your favour i think
i visited my great granded in one when i was a kid, but i dont have much memory of it. it was a nice one with a fish pond, that's all i remember lol!
Which wallets have good utxo management? like it would be good to have something that visually shows a utxo number or something.
Right now i have just multiple wallets and it's getting visually messy looking at it.
i see Blippy and Ryan are still there lol. man his mum's voice would do my head in where my kids would watch his channel.
Well at the time i was living in Russia at after the 2008 crisis hit off, a lot of the translation clients started slashing their budgets anyway , i started teaching more and just keeping a bit of translation side work, but later transitioned into working in broadcast media, then pivoted away from that into online business and e-com
bro, i can tell you as a former translator back in the day, that the end of the golden age was when Google Translate came online, been downhill ever since.
Yes, it was quite shit (Google Translate), but it was good enough for a lot of people and it marked a shift.
A lot of the translation gigs became consolidated into agencies that never pay that well, and the rest is history (for example, https://www.loekalization.com/blog/blog/2025/01/17/blu-digital-the-blue-abyss-of-subtitle-hell/)
I have fond memories of doing my translation work to my own schedule and then walking to the publishing house once a month to get a cash envelope.
But as with many things, you can probably still find a job using lang skills + something else, but gpt is pretty great at reworking texts and localizing, writing things in certain styles.
What is sad is that it takes a lot of work and many, many years to develop the skills to do the job, and when few people care about it or respect that anymore, it does feel like a loss
I'm just sitting back for the ride and seeing what plays out, but LLM-driven automation targets knowledge work, not physical labor (yet at least). Unlike past industrial shifts, this wave threatens entire job categories at once — journalism, translation, legal research, customer support, basic design jobs etc. It's a pretty big list. There will still be jobs in these fields, just way fewer.
Plus physical tools didn’t centralize power, but LLMs might - whoever controls the models controls knowledge access.
Also, these models are early days, they are going to get better and at some point be able to do all kinds of other things and admin tasks i think
Where's that image that @DarthCoin would often post with the levels of utxo manegment?
it used to be here

but nothing there now
a new cycle always brings death to some and rebirth to others, depending on lots of factors.
With AI we've already started a transition, i think and white collar workers in general are already feeling the squeeze.
Classic trades like plumbers, builders, and mechanics will be fine, though. People can still build businesses too and do things with social media.
Personally, i think the change will be far more far-reaching than any tech we have seen before, and that it will take a lot more jobs than it creates new ones.
It's not like before, where you could transition from making buggy whips to getting a job on the Ford assembly line.
There will be new industries and always be jobs of some kind of course, but the change and adaptation period will be a crazy one i think.
the suck hasn't been bad enough for people to even consider things, since the big covid print though people are waking up to spiraling costs, most haven't gotten to the solution part.
That and all the media fud targeted at btc, plus contagen from all the crypto scams etc
that's sneaky af. i think there is some law in europe where they have to show prices per oz or unit. so if you're looking at different sizes bags of dishwasher tablets, the cost per tablet should also be shown, makes it easy to compare.
havnt seen them mixing units on meats, will have a look.
i'd argue that when temps are getting above 30 degrees (86°F) it's almost dangerous to not have an AC. hot as balls all the time, can't concentrate, hard to sleep etc
France just being over dramatic , as usual
