I say yes. I see your point. But nobody really spends every day.
Maybe yesterday, maybe tomorrow and maybe today. But not every day.
Earning is a similar thing.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
Just walked past some old guys fishing in the lake nearby my area.
The catfish was flapping aroud on the paving stone. Guess it got schooled as well.

If this refers to supply of Bitcoin in circulation, yes. It includes all Bitcoin in circulation (hot wallets, cold storage, exchanges, utxos that have funds locked in the LN, the Bitcoin down the back of your couch, in Michael Saylor's and Nayib Armando Bukele Ortez's underpants.

If this refers to the Bitcoin that has been mined, then layer one Bitcoin chain only.

Well, perhaps self-reliance, small farms and domestic farming, energy and chemical production would be a really good idea.

That's definitely one of the coolest sites I've seen for a while.
(I won't show you my building, it's more of a trailer.)

Thanks for posting, and thanks Simon.
Awesome.

The "lack of explainability"

when asked about how to manage a sandwich, MPs also struggled to take a bite.

"Every day, people on X say Bitcoin is going to $100,000. Most of them own Bitcoin. Under the government’s theory, selling before it hits that target is fraud."

I find this to be somewhat a non-sequitor.

If a public figure mentions their opinion on higher Brent crude, water utility prices, or precious metals prices, that's not dealing with securities. There's a difference, no?

The GRANOLAS European, nutritious pharma/tech/defensive mix:

GlaxoSmithKline (now GSK)
Roche
ASB Holding (often associated with ASML)
Nestlé
Oracle
L'Oréal
ASML
SAP/Sanofi

*A - Often AstraZeneca or Air Liquide (Most commonly AstraZeneca in the top driver lists).

*O -Oracle is a US company, but sometimes included in broader European-focused discussions: The "O" is typically Olin (the most cited list by Goldman Sachs includes Olin).

Got me thinking about breakfast.

Granolas?

Do they still accept cash?

I feel that it's not only because they wouldn't be able to track consumers with complete reliance on their own payment model, but also that they are unwilling to let other large corporations have that data themselves. US needs to encourage better privacy laws. It's an easy win for the electorate. The rest of the world cares even less for its people's privacy.

Walmart: "get cheaper product and pay for a system that gives less choice and quality."

re: 1

That gave me flashbacks to last year's Core PR/force push tribal vibes.

I have no more respect to give to anyone than I have for FOSS developers, though I don't donate as much as I should to the maintainers of software I use.

I guess the ethos of the handfull of projects that serve the 90+% of ai and social platforms are not necessarily as conscientious.

Interesting, that where one platform alienates its userbase, another one gains traction.

Okay. Thanks for the upshot. I read more and got a better idea.

Thing is like the article states, any of this can be done, has been done, .. and ultimately will be done. If it wasn't Grok, it'd be ChatGPT, I guess. I suppose the only difference is that it doen't have the reach.

Pretty sure, it wouldn't be so different 'share image' 'upload to facebook'. Something seems off to me. There's undoubtedly a campaign against the 'free speech media'.

I feel at a loss, whenever I hear of people self-harming because of ChatGPT, or indecent deep-faking on x. Probably because I don't use eith, never have, probably never will. Besides I don't share images of myself. If I was a celebrity, maybe I'd be a bit pissed over CGI rendering of myself. But am I even allowed to say it just sounds so overblown?

I don't know.

I'm read words: crusade, spicy questions, inherent risks, safety engineers, safety watchdog, safety team, safety tests.

Now, I've never used Grok before but I use other agents all day, every day. None of them seem remotely harmful. WTF is the problem?

Is the problem that it is training users to be national socialists as opposed to rainbow warriors, because, I'm pretty sure that if Grok trained users to ask about pronoun usage and holding hands together to defeat the evil that is carbon dioxide, I'd want some pretty stringent safety tests so my kids would not fall victim to the perils of socialist globalism.

Was listening to FP talk on Ungovernable Misfits (recommend it)!

Ahhh, gotcha..

Stupid damn sexploitationists!

Looks like the market price didn't really moonshot. Wonder if that had an impact.

The creep factor risk got too high for me to justify going cheap on accommodations.

I've hardly ever used Airbnb. What creep factor do you mean? Price wise?

It could be argued, I suppose, that much of humanity leaves home in the morning, walks into an office, switches on their employer's pc, boots into windows (which the company rents) the fibre (rented) links to the cloud services (rented) etc..

I think the gambit for everyone wanting to get the same services at home and spend our lives doing just that is a joke. That's not to take away the points raised about hardware being problematic going forward, but 1+1 doesn't make 3.

They'll be need for cloud services and compute, for some people with some needs.

and who seeks for a job in a dying industry?

I think there's some truth in your point, but also some inconsistency in the original statement.

Yowzers! We used to have one of those theme parks with crazy roller-coaster rides near by my home. Kind of reminded me of that.

I concede. You do always bring up good points, jajaha

Something about money and fools are always parted. But still, without these kinds of inefficiencies, the network doesn't get tested. I'm sure there's more insiduous actors that purposefully devise ways to test networks. Plebs help us prepare for this.
