we did it guys, the old models are so trash, here on the new TrustMeBroBenchmarks the model scores higher than ever before. Man fable 5.0 sucked so much, such a shit model, fable 5.1 tho, that's groundbreaking. We've gone up by 46.9% on every percentage in every bench, let's goooooooo fellas, now plz gib money because we're still not profitable.

you know what's hilarious? the whole CP argument is the exact same one the feds used to push to scare people away from Bitcoin. I remember seeing it constantly years ago, and every single bitcoiner, without exception, called it out for the garbage argument that it is.

- reply

Just one thing: rather than memorize them as buttons, you should learn the motions and what they actually mean. So you can be more powerful.
`da(`, `ci{` etc don't make sense if you just learn them as buttons but if you learn that d takes a motion and you know about a for around and i for inside, then it starts to make sense intuitively. Delete around parentheses. Change inside brackets etc.

That's an interesting stat, didn't know this one, thanks for sharing.
I wonder what the stats look like of you filter out the outliers on both edges (really low end CPUs, both arm and x86, as well as really high end server CPUs). I suspect (though I'm not confident anymore haha) that the majority of those mobile ones are for the low end devices. And also, people change phones very frequently, while they don't change computers until they because unusable for them.

2026-05-28 03:36:44 UTC

- reply

Sorry but those are bad statistics, because it's impossible to get this data reliably and do any meaningful extrapolation off of it.
Most people with phones ALSO have a computer; but yes most internet traffic is on phone because some find it easier, especially when on the go, to use their phone.
The only people I know who only use phones are completely tech illiterate 60+ year olds, who of course would never run a lightning server anyway.
Of course that might be self bias, but that's my experience

funny that you assume I'm a statist lol
here's a pretty simple example of why pure 100% anarcho-capitalism doesn't work, and why the real solution is just to go 99% of the way, and get rid of most government, plus make it simple to choose among (small) communities to live in.
alice has a restaurant, bob has a farm
alice and bob enter into a contract, she pays him 5000 sats every month to get a shipment of 5kgs of beef every day.
now bob delivers for 3 months, no problems. but then one month he just decides to deliver 4kgs a day.
alice notices, and calls bob out. bob says "no i delivered 5kgs every day, you're wrong." now what?
the second alice and bob disagree on whether he delivered 5kgs or 4kgs, you need a charlie, someone neither of them hired or can fire, otherwise he's just muscle for whoever pays more.
now what happens?

2026-04-20 12:16:40 UTC

- reply

who enforces the contract? if you and I sign a contract, and I violate it, who enforces it?
don't you think that we would need some semi-universal court that we both agree is gonna act as a fair third-party?
there can be multiple of those third parties of course, but those courts will have almost de-facto monopoly powers as time goes on.

2026-04-20 11:59:49 UTC

- reply

I think that the problem is that we all have different definitions of what anarcho-capitalism means. Some literally mean minarchism or agorism.
A minarchist still believes in a state monopoly on courts, police, and national defense. An agorist rejects political participation entirely as counterproductive. Conflating them makes debate nearly impossible, which is why nobody can seem to agree.
Pure anarcho-capitalism is impossible and undesirable imo, but agorism is a perfectly fine system and one that deserves more serious engagement than it typically gets... especially in places like nostr since we're (hopefully) all freedom minded people here
