Block One strikes again. I was also affected by this group because they bought the exchange rate API provider we use for Casa and decided to 10X the price. Naturally, I surveyed the market and we migrated to a new API that was a quarter of the cost of what we had been paying.

It has been said that cyber society would be far more well behaved it was possible to punch someone in the face through their screen. Perhaps assassination markets are going too far, but it certainly seems like an ass beating market could be beneficial.

One aspect of the enshittification of technology is that by turning lots of items into smart devices, we speed up their obsolescence. I hate that my 6 year old TV, which is in perfect condition, is now relatively"slow" to load streaming apps and it regularly crashes.

The guy who murdered the United Healthcare CEO was clearly not a professional hitman. In the video of the shooting you can see that his handgun suppressor is not properly configured and every shot results in a failure to eject, requiring him to manually rack the slide after each shot in order to load another round.

Buttcoiners like to call BTC a Ponzi scheme because early adopters were rewarded for the risk they took. But then they have to do mental gymnastics to explain why other assets aren't Ponzi schemes. Usually they fall back to the argument that they are "productive assets." You could probably trigger them well by declaring that real estate is a Ponzi scheme perpetuated by Baby Boomers.

Ran my first Bitcoin Core build with cmake. I like how it offers the ability to parallelize the build across many cores. Now I can do a full build in until 10 minutes!

I want an AI agent that analyzes how much time I spend performing various tasks and determines which high time cost tasks can be outsourced to AI agents.
