BIP110 is like the transgender argument. Some people think it is wrong for men to be in women's bathroom with little girls before something bad happens and other people thinks there is nothing wrong with it until something bad happens. #idonttrustcore

With all the talk about "The Epstein Files" it's important to remember that he had a boss. We're not calling the files by his boss's name only his. And that boss has multiple Epsteins working for him. And he is sacrificing one to save all the others.

#GM my #nostriches I need some help. I need your favorite Nostr essays (30023) naddr. I am in the process of loading up my openclaw instance with naddr of some of the best essays on Nostr to help it understand where @The Architect of NextBlock City stands on the different topics and issues in the #bitcoin and #nostr community.

The best analogy I've found for coding with AI: it's a 3D printer for software craftsmen. Yesterday I worked through four different database frameworks. Not reading about them—implementing them. Feeling the tradeoffs between security, sovereignty, and scale in working code. When I decided one wasn't right, the AI rewrote the entire data layer in minutes. Evaluate. Adjust. Repeat. That kind of iteration used to take weeks. The mythical 10X engineer everyone chases? They were still bottlenecked by typing and context switching. This is a category shift. The craft isn't gone. It's distilled. System design, debugging intuition, knowing which tradeoffs actually matter—that's still you. What's disappeared is the tedium of translating clear intent into syntax. The keyboard was never the instrument. Your mental model was. Now you can finally work at the speed of thought.

This guy is amazing at explaining #bitcoin without ever saying the word. Bitcoiners need to hear what he says about he bronze age collapse.

Today working with cursor felt like I was sanding something down to a finished product. So many things we used to look over at previous jobs cause no one wanted to do them. Ai loves grunt work. View quoted note →
