GM. i am taking a break from nostr. i will be back. if you’re looking for a sign, this isn't it.

I cancelled my Midjourney Generative AI subscription in July, after three months of testing. Was a fascinating exercise but i realized i could be more productive spending my time and money elsewhere. It is interesting to see what others are putting in to get the consistent amazing results they get out. Here’s a monthly AI bill for $7,533 on together.ai View quoted note →

i think it is peculiar and ironic that #NOSTR, a protocol built around the persistence of notes and other stuff, has for its mascot an Ostrich known for being quite a forgetful creature. GM. Stack sats. Stay weird.

I recall a time when i had to work in freezing server rooms full of screaming servers, like this one, for hours in a day. While fun to watch now, it sure wasn't back then, but work had to be done.

In the beginning the illness is easy to cure but difficult to detect, yet in the course of time not having been either detected nor treated in the beginning, the illness becomes easy to detect but difficult to cure. - Niccolò Machiavelli on ignoring #Bitcoin

Look at these persons exhibiting toxic masculinist behaviours. Such risk takers. Much wow.

I recently came across and read "(L)earn Bitcoin: Become Financially Sovereign" by @Anita and found it an incredibly good primer on #Bitcoin and one i can see myself recommending along with "The Little Bitcoin Book" going forward. How do new and established authors of bitcoin and related work prefer to be paid/acknowledged? For those of us that may stumble across your books in non-traditional places, how would you like people to contribute back to your effort? @Anita @Lyn Alden @gladstein @jimmysong

Mate, what a fantastic thought-provoking piece you've written on how you liberated your laptop. Quite timely too coming on the heels of Apple's launch of the iPhone 15 and ancillary products and services. Lots to ponder. 🤔 Lots of good actionable content and suggestions. 👍 I zapped you some sats to encourage you to write and share more. 🤙 View quoted note →

I think it's brilliant that an answer to a problem from 9 years ago can not only be relevant but often times spot on. Thank God for StackExchange. Thank Got for Linux.

Manners maketh the man, and in my opinion dressing well (decent pair of shoes covering your toes, slacks and a shirt) is basic manners when you have a camera on you in most cases. We should all aim to take pride in our appearance. “[One] realizes that without his clothes a man would be nothing at all; that the clothes do not merely make the man, the clothes are the man; that without them he is a cipher, a vacancy, a nobody, a nothing… There is no power without clothes.” - Mark #Twain - The Czar’s Soliloquy (1905) “The apparel oft proclaims the man” - William #Shakespeare - The Tragedy of Hamlet (1600) “vestis virum facit” meaning “clothes make the man.” - Desiderius #Erasmus Roterodamus - Collectanea Adagiorum (1500) View quoted note →

Let’s connect. It might just work.

"The Great Wave off Kanagawa" is probably the most iconic of the "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" prints by Hokusai. Pick up some souvenirs from Ueno street market in #Tokyo when attending @npub1nstr...rg5l View quoted note →

There are many false prophets, idols, mentors and influencers. We are meant to believe that their loss is our loss. And their gain is our gain. And that we are all in this together. The truth is often that our loss is our loss. And our gain is their gain. If you so choose to be led. View quoted note →

What would a 2020's prize money inheritance look like, and how much would Brewster need to spend on "fair value goods" in 30 days to be realistic to you? Brewster's Millions is a comedic novel written by George Barr McCutcheon (Richard Greaves) in 1902 There have been many screen plays based off of the novel. The 1902 novel: Grandfather leaves Brewster $1 million in a will, but a competing will from another relative requires Brewster must spend the $1 million in the first year or forfeit a $7 million inheritance from the other relative. The 1945 version: Inherit $8 million but must spend $1 million on fair value goods, without keeping any assets, within 60 days. The 1985 version: Receive $1 million upfront or inherit $300 million but must spend $30 million on fair value goods, without keeping any assets, within 30 days. I recently listened to WBD693 with @HODL and @Peter McCormack where "Brewster's Millions" was mentioned in passing. Having never seen the movie i went digging and watched the 1945 version. Highly recommend. The podcast was also pretty good 🤙

If you are in #Japan and ever get the opportunity i highly recommend going to watch “Hidden Fortress” currently performed at the Meija-za #Theatre 🎭 in Tokyo 🇯🇵 Its an adventure-action period drama stage adaptation of the Japanese movie classic “Hidden Fortress” starring #Toshiro Mifune and directed by #Akira #Kurosawa. 隠し岩の三惑人 聞え！逃げろ!守り抜け !
