The "demand side" meaning 5 companies trading around the same IOU and calling it "revenue"?

Well FWIW Austrian theory would disagree... While it might reduce some investment, one could argue that the investments that are being made with a F...

I'm assuming by "Turing complete" you meant "Turing test" otherwise I'm having trouble parsing that definition

Turing complete seems problematic with today's LLM's -- couldn't most of them fake being a real person? If so, isn't it Murder to pull the plug?

Personally, I think AGI remains a "mythical" concept relative to the current state and development pathway of AI -- I'm generally with Cory Doctorow o...

What? Of course they do. It's like question 2 on the 1040. There's no minimum, no exemption. Cup of coffee or buy a house,. doesn't matter.

Be seeing you... 👌

Conventional social media has all kinds of "tip jar" Zap-like functionality, and people don't go crazy 🤯 over it. Look at any Youtube or Twitch stream...

I mean... It kinda does. Have you actually tried using Instagram recently? Most of the best Nostr apps are much smoother and easier to use. People ...

Seems to work just fine! Honestly, I'll probably wind down the kind 10015 and just use this instead

With Kind 30015 "interest sets", Amethyst is now "feature complete" as far as I'm concerned... Great work folks 👏 nostr:nevent1qqstrwga0msvtk5apqw355...

how to get Amethyst desktop?

"Stories" on Signal too -- I've tried it but none of my contacts use them 😔

But the thing is, they're leaving Nostr / DiVine to go BACK to their OTHER Twitter -like apps... They're not eschewing the microblogging social media ...

ooof should have read past the first 2 paragraphs... "dark feminine wealth coach" = "person you wished you hadn't started a conversation with a party"...

Not at all what I'm saying. Fear is a signal, one of many. Learn to hear what it says but not let it be the only decision-maker.

Like a lot of stuff with Dune, it's ambiguous whether this is Frank Herbert saying "yes this is the way to live", or "this is a cautionary tale." The...

Living "in fear" - sure. Living "with" fear as an emotion you let into your life is a different thing.

"I'm afraid of negative outcomes for my actions" isn't "stupidity", it's entirely rational. Should you live in fear as a main driver for your life? Ab...

Fear serves a purpose. Without it people will do stupid things. "I have no fear so I'm betting my life savings on whether Trump says Banana at the S...
