true...
i have a lot of fun chatting with Claude, but that doesn't really translate to skills per se.
it goes back to just being really nervous about setting up the whole environment. all that stuff was always set up for me, i could just program and change little things in the big structure that was already there. i did have very good intuition for where things went wrong since i enjoyed reading code.
i'll be reading your journey at least to see how to implement more . ..

ok, so if a woman's friend did express interest and she ignored it. does that mean she'd rather just be friends?
should the man
A )definitely not bring it up again.
B) wait because she's thinking about it & give space
C) ask for clarity
D) reassure her if she wonders if her guy friend fell and hit his head.

if i may ask the same question, what do women want from men who are interested but don't express it.
maybe they have expressed it in a low key way, but there was no definitive answer from the woman.
do women prefe a direct approach from the man that you can answer definitively yes/no ?
or would you rather just not have the extra pressure.

i think it just strikes like a lightning bolt for men. you need a rainstorm on the trail and the guy with the mustache and dog and you have to crowd under the only bus shelter. then queue the lightning bolt (nearby) and if that doesn't do the trick, it wasn't meant to be!

ok,that sounds like a good approach. i might be joining you then on the learning journey for software instead of waving it away and trying to make myself feel better.
except i don't have any software stuff that i do anymore. i'm not sure what kinda of software stuff i would want to make.
what are the cynics saying now? i sound cynical about AI but I'm cynical about doing a software job in the age of AI. i'm very optimistic about the AI itself.
one subscription basically replaces the whole team i was part of
database admin
database developer
database developer
data analyst
middleware
UI
+ a couple others
it's mind-boggling when you think about it. that was just 6 years ago, and now 1 person can pay 200$ in a month and have access to that whole team.
i just haven't figured out how AI translates into success for me.

lol, that honest reflection about MSTR is what i was lacking last year.
someone on here posted something insightful about AI. i think it was Rich NOst.
i don't think you "fall behind" with AI. as long as you are improving as a human being.
the future AI will intersect with where you are at as a human. it doesn't need us to learn "AI skills". it needs us to learn human skills.

some other good news wrt Strategy and STRC is the Josh Mandell fellow finally seems to be warming up again...
Comparing Strategy to a diesel engine definitely is a good look for the stock. Who knew that investors don't like to invest in things they don't understand and nobody quite understood what was happening with all the "perpetual preferred" stocks.
all this time, the only "Wiley Coyote" moment --to quote Cathie Wood-- was me pretending to understand what perpetual preferred stocks were.
i trusted Saylor and tried to wrap my head around all the creativity while others like Mandell were smarter and bailed out entirely. if he can't understand it then nobody can. but that appears to be changing. with STRC, it's getting obvious even to the intelligent skeptics that this could be something good.
https://npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs.blossom.band/db68e703062a9917ee79b91de88ea4d1bf9cbe181884620a7b56810671914738.png
i have a newfound respect for diesel engines.
in fact, if any man wants to make friends with other men, study diesel engines. then go to equipment auctions.
for just 10,000 dollars a giant truck with a diesel engine and air brakes can be yours.
you can put up beekeeping boxes in yard and slap "Farm Use" plates on the truck and you won't need a CDL.
the joy of the engine and the air brakes will light up your face and you'll never be sad again.

so funny that Andrew Sorkin is trying to paint him as Satoshi. normally Andrew is the bitcoin skeptic voice on that program.
anyhow, Andrew has totally convinced my family member that Adam Back is Satoshi.
i'm also worried for said family member... they seem to be a little bitcurious, but i'm worried that they might fall into the rabbit hole. i don't know if we can deal with 2 people in the family with this affliction.
on the other hand, now seems to be the perfect time to collect someone's first satoshis.

sean was a giant. at least it felt that way to an 8 year old. he was made like an oak tree. legs, arms, feet were all several sizes to thick
when he tried to play with us kids, it was always a mess. the fallen tree that we balanced on, creaked to the ground.
the board that we leaned against at tree in order to launch of the rope swing, bent into a U and snapped.
the rope swing itself pulled out of the tree.
i had a certain sense of disgust at Sean. when we drove him in the van, he would opened the passenger side window and blow boogers. they were not normal size. they would streak across the entire back van windows.
he was so oblivious that he was different. a sweat-pants wearing sloppy 30 year old who's lack of decorum was magnified by his size-- holes in his sweat pants, not wearing underwear.
at church, he leaned over three pews to sneeze. when he sneezed, you learned to back away really fast.
he drove a car with Farm Use plates. he was farming "Cats" he said.
he spent Sundays with us. and some days during the week when he needed to go shopping.
the car with Farm Use plates must have also not been able to carry his frame.
---now i wonder, was the giant guy protecting us somehow? i never thought of it from this angle.

12 foot red haired giant
i don't know how he showed up but here i am trying to communicate. this guy could crush me with his palm. i attempt the obvious sign language joke holding my hand way above my head "you're very tall!" and then i did a bicep curl to say "and very strong!"
my MO is expect the best from people and not prepare for the worse at all, so i just need to get the red giant to laugh. one chuckle and i know we're on friendly footing. so i did the last joke i had, pulled my pants down and wiggled my d*** in the air.
at this point i rouse enough to realize i'm dreaming, but i need more sleep and head back to the dream anyway.
the worries start. i can't even get this fellow in the house without him falling through the floors.
how do i cook a hamburger big enough without it being uncooked in the center? OK, it's going to be a bunch of regular hamburgers that he will have to eat as sliders.

Yeah, tech deflation was noticeable.
Next it's real estate.
It might be lots of companies in the stock market next.
Literally the only thing valuing a stock is what the last person bought it thought it was worth.
Crazy!
It's the same for Bitcoin of course.... But, all the crazies who bought Bitcoin already know that it doesn't have earnings, employees, real estate, etc.
it's priced instantly based on... electricity cost... I guess?
I don't know how I price Bitcoin, I just buy it. It would probably be good to have a model for when Bitcoin is cheap and expensive. Right now it feels cheap.

2026-04-07 17:08:12 UTC

have you been loitering on the Jack Reacher internet of nostr and deflation has taken you by surprise by hitting your paycheck before your grocery bill?
--steps to take
eject relationship --kidding
eject subscriptions
ax the node
ax the starlink
chop wood
bike more
turn lights off -- quit believing in ghosts
start using coupons
seriously, deflation is happening.
People who don't check their car insurance, cell phone plan are paying much more than they should be.
deflation is happening all around us, and if we are living with the idea that everything is getting more expensive... the joke is on you.

oh, sorry.
i think you are right...there's always wealthy people in charge of their town, community, church, etc. and we just have to resign our future selves to being them..
actually i did hear that guy Jesse Meyers talking about how money adoption usually works. i was kinda disappointed that the whole bitcoin/lightning circular economy thing doesn't really fit with how money is adopted historically.
apparently it goes from being collectible to being "Store of value" for a while before it wins its place as "medium of exchange" by people wanting to be paid in it.
but then again, maybe with internet networks, the whole historical template is sped up. i would assume any kid playing video games would benefit from a lightning wallet.
but if the strait of Hormuz story is real about Iran wanting stablecoins, that's such a head scratcher that i'm also wondering if people's brains really are that different and it's going to be slower than expected.

thanks for the question, makes me feel smarter than i am.
i just heard that the prediction market jumped to a much higher probability for the rate hike at some point.
some people say the stock market will use AI to power incredible returns. others say it's going to suck the P/E ratios down from 25 to 10 in the next couple years...
i don't know if we ever faced rate hikes with potential alien disclosures either...
what i'm curious about is: has bitcoin already digested that possibility in real time, while 500 companies are still doing the math on their quarterly calls.
what do you think?

2026-03-31 11:45:23 UTC

i'm testing a shiny new argument for people to diversify into bitcoin:
the argument is:
bitcoin has already priced in the Iran war. it has also already priced in the possibility of rate hikes.
the rest of the stock market with quarterly earnings and no clarity has not.
it would be wise to sit in the thing that has much more real-time reactivity and not the thing that is stable simply because it's waiting for 500 individual companies to figure out how all these things affect their bottom lines.

sorta tangent here, but i was just thinking about
kids learning evolution in school.
it seems so anachronistic now-- a state religion that keeps the working class exactly that--working class.
my observation of rich is that they are either light or dark or gravitating one way or the other but aware of the spiritual.
even if i didn't have a christian view of the situation, i would be more likely to suggest we are an alien breeding project rather than an undirected evolution.
it seems so weird that kids in 2026 are getting indoctrinated that we came from apes because we look the same.
what is a way to introduce kids to multiple viewpoints without leaning heavy into faith?

Plus... their app is glitchy. it's nowhere near as fast as CashApp.

hah! i'm looking in the mirror on this one...
and basically thanking lucky stars that no one listened to me ever to buy bitcoin at 100,000 plus. my friends and family are impervious to whatever scams i fall into. they have started just started excusing my brash bitcoin statements as unpleasant behaviors of a gambling addict.
meanwhile, i do use bitcoin to pay rent: super convenient & efficient for that. i also use it to buy gas at Sheetz, groceries at Walmart.
i've even used bitcoin to top up a bounced checking account on a saturday instantly... this would have taken three days at normal bank speeds and probably some 30$ fees:
i sold bitcoin on cashapp on a saturday & hit "transfer instantly" to my checking account.
bounced checking account be gone. at the speed of a click
also, i now manage someone else's lightning account on my own self hosted Alby. I feel like a banker, but it's so much better than a normal bank. they are getting satoshis+ instant settlement on their phone.
if my customer wants to check out of the lightning network, i can just flash their balance onto a SatsCard and they can keep their key under their mattress.
going to a bank teller and getting a lollipop is fading into the rearview mirror.

yeah, i should tone my criticism a bit.
he's charismatic and interesting. i've learned some things from him.
charisma doesn't do nuance very well, so it makes sense he would just paint bitcoin as "controlled by them" and the same with political/religious opinions.
it's a valuable discussion to have.
i did find it interesting that his content was getting promoted to a boomer friend.
i can't shake the feeling that someone was paying him to create the anti-bitcoin and eschatology content and serving it up to people that that would disgust. the boomer friend definitely distrusts bitcoin, is anti-war, horrified at weird "christian" cults and unhappy with current state of affairs.

i've drunk so much coolaid, that i have a ghost man on this base: Trump is going against globalists, specifically British empire interests and elite who rule the US via CIA/elite for the British empire.
"ghost man" is a term we used to use while playing kickball with less than enough players to cover the bases. there are too many theories to proscribe to all of them. i have a ghost man who says there are aliens on the moon, seen by moon missions, and another ghost man that says we never went to the moon, and i'm trying to hit a home run theory to make it all possible.
video below claude summary:
Main argument in simple terms:
The video claims that the current fears about an oil shock (caused by the US-Iran war) are deliberately manufactured by enemies of Trump, just like in 1979.
The 3 main points:
1. What happened in 1979?
The Shah of Iran was building a modern, industrial Iran — nuclear plants, steel mills, independence from oil exports. British and American financial elites (the "globalists") didn't want this, so they helped overthrow him using the Muslim Brotherhood. The result: an oil crisis that hurt France, Germany and the USA.
2. The same playbook today
The same "globalists" want an oil crisis now to hurt Trump economically, so Democrats win the 2026 midterm elections and Trump's economic program dies.
3. "Unconditional surrender" is the cure, not the problem
Iran under the Mullahs was installed as a permanent weapon against Western economies. Removing the regime would actually free Iran's oil and stabilize the Middle East.

i lived for years on that stuff... i don't recommend. it was cheap. i thought it was healthy at the time. it barely gives you enough energy for a couple hours.

i'll take it! if they issue programmable money, i'll have a long trip to the grocery store.
a couple months ago, it was a suburb of St Louis, Missouri, multiple times.
maybe it's how the Mint Mobile network saves costs.

Does anyone else wake up to find the phone gives them random forecasts for cities they arent in? I guess it has to do with data centers that the Internet routes thru, unless my GPS gets confused.

i will take that deal anyday. that sounds like an insurance policy of sorts.
what i was trying to find was a structure that could be an easy sell for someone who doesn't trust bitcoin, so he thinks he's doing me a favor if he has can finally sell it for me but in the meantime he gets free farm help.
the upside is just free with the structure.

i'm guessing multi sig 2 of 3 with a trusted 3rd party?
or trust the farmer with the btc, except i think that would trigger a tax event to transfer. it would have to be a simple setup to get him comfortable with it like "here it is", "here's where you can sell it if you have to".

2026-03-02 00:18:35 UTC

woah, claude just rescued me today from the vicissitudes of life:
it's suggesting a "Total Return Swap".
Here's the deal. I work on a farm, it's tight margins but free basic amenities. i just need some cash per month to pay utilities and essentials from Walmart. I could either slowly draw down my bitcoin on Bitrefill gift cards
OR
do a "Total return swap"
basically, I put some amount of bitcoin in collateral with farmer. He pays me a small monthly paycheck that covers cash bills.
since he doesn't believe in bitcoin, he can sell if the bitcoin collateral drops to 1.5X the cost of the wages accrued.
if bitcoin moons, we do a 70/30 split of the proceeds.
basically bitcoin would have to go to $51,000 18 months from now for this to go wrong.

Floor sleeping might help. Thick carpet and folded blanket 4x underneath is perfect for me. I can't tell you how happy I am every night I go to bed and my feet don't stick off and let cold air in the covers or the pillows don't fall off.

yeah, i'm trying to wrap my head around it... fun challenge.
i've been seeing crystals growing everytime a close my eyelids. even the claude logo looks like it's crystallizing--reaching out, growing. the open AI logo on the other hand is like a shut in, self-referential whirly thing that--ugh.
if all the books in the world can now fit in the palm of my hand in a mobile phone, and my mother was putting ticker tape in the one computer in her school library at 3am because that's when it was free... it stands to reason that an LLM could also live amongst the knowledge on the phone in a deterministic way.
maybe it just needs RAM that's big enough? idk

you've outdone yourself. bravo mon frere
this is very beautiful. i feel very lucky to see this
initial reviews, could be the caffeine speaking--we won't know till the half life jitters and what's left re-bonds on the constraint surfaces:
"hours of Curt Jaimungal Theory of Everything elegantly distilled"
"diamond of philosophy, biology, comp sci"
so many stand-out concepts
one example:
"Biological organisms aren't 'matter that happens to be organized.' They're lower-dimensional projections of constraint-satisfying structures in a space with more dimensions than the chemistry occupies."
off-topic but i'm thinking this could explain ghosts, premonitions, and so much more.
on-topic: your use of Claude is absolutely blowing my mind. I can just load this project up and then talk to it about completely unrelated other stuff, and its creativity will be out of the roof.

so i fact checked myself, and I was hilariously wrong. apparently they sold 7 billion dollars easily of this debt at 6% interest. so they are borrowing in dollars and paying in inflated currency.
however, if they are buying GPUs/data centers those have shelf lives.
the internet also let me know that Motorola also issued a 100 year bond in 1997 when they were in the top 25 companies.
as i write this on a chrome browser

inspired by : google trying to issue a 100 year bond in order to fund data center ambitions. 100 year bond with no bitcoin backing it at all, just hopes and dreams of AI ambitions.
maybe no investor wants to buy debt in this, and companies will have to finance their AI ambitions with cold hard bitcoin instead.

this humanoid thing is quite another problem from creating AI lattice structure that is discrete and non black-box.
i see the point of getting AI to be less black box... i was just reading Dario's article on this (not more than half thru as of yet). hwoever what struck my imagination is his framing as "a data center as a country of geniuses" that can basically assert themselves as a power in the world without even needing phsyical infrastructure, as wielding power in the digital realm nowadays is more than sufficient.
i see limitation as AI as a tool so i'm having a hard time grasping the need for this continuation thing.
i love the idea of the crystal structure, and hallucinations being from misalignment within the structure. that would indicate some sort of ground truth...

bit out of my depth here. i see engineers posting about how they are getting their AI agents to code while they lounge on the beach.
if i'm understanding correctly, what you're aiming for is actual AI base level coherence "deterministic" instead of black box hallucinogen prone?
so this will grow itself from current models? will it need to be included in model training in future or will the models have this happen after training?

CUDA? now i'm seriously out of my depth.
oh, it's a StartOS server, so i think it's their OS. actually, i don't know if i can run anything else on it. or customize the operating system like add CUDA,
there's "FreeGPT" which can run models on the Start9 server. so i assume if i put a grpahics card in there, it could do it. but i think i would have to get more ROM as well.
maybe a 20$ monthly claude subscription is all i need.

ay, that's a great question... my best guesses:
1. the bots have been browsing on Nostr and they *Know*
2. inherent open-source permission-less design of BTC.
3. centralization (which government's stable coins are they going to run, and if any of the bots are in BRICS, maybe they can't access those...
4. these things live in the internet off of electricity so bitcoin/lightning would just be a natural thing for them.
flyguy, maybe that's all we were doing on Nostr is writing the bible for AI/agents. we will become their saints.

it says "Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 (4 GB)".
i do have an old dell optiplex server that runs Start9, so maybe i could add the GPU to that. i didn't realize that's all it needs. but i think i skimped on the RAM/ROM part of the equation too since i was just getting it to run the bitcoin core stuff.

what if nostr was built for humans but actually comes to be a AI agent networking infrastructure.
it's always hard to know what to zap---21 sats seems small...100 sats too large. AI agents don't care: if they need real-time oracle data, they'll just pay the fee.
AI agents might find Web-of-trust useful too for interacting with each other.
maybe they'll pay us Satoshis to run sensors on relays about real world stuff.
like thermometers and rain gauges.
