Pre Claude, I'd struggle with mathematical proofs for an entire afternoon. Post Claude, I can get them done in a few prompts.

Which is funny because allegedly that's the one thing that GPT is still king at

reply

Oh, it's more just coz I use claude by default right now. GPT would probably be fine.

The proofs I'm doing are not frontier stuff. It's more like, I have this model of economic behavior, prove this hypothesized result for me.

TFW you just need to go grab some booze because now Bitcoiners are once again doing the SDE thing of comparative analysis.

I say fuck that shit. Stop comparing. Operate from your own strengths, not someone else's weakness. Needing someone else to appear weak means you're weak. Don't be weak. Be strong, mfs, be strong.

Would it better to set up a home server to run a claw bot, or set up a VPS?

reply

VPS.

reply

Why, and which VPS provider do you recommend?

reply
149 sats \ 9 replies \ @optimism 3h

Why: Because unless you know what you're doing in terms of network security, at least you're not exposing your entire home network.

Which provider: A shitty cheap one, like OVH.

reply
OVH

Been moving more and more stuff there, it might be the most reliable shitty cheap one so far.

reply

I've just moved my test k8s from linode into a test docker swarm on hetzner because I anyway don't test the yml, I test the images. lots cheaper for stuff that does nothing all day. I don't really care if it goes down either, so whatevs. Did get an email from them that I'm going to pay like $1/vps/month more, which is an outrage of 25% increase, but it's still 5x as cheap as linode lol

reply

You seem like an ideal candidate for a used 1U server running Proxmox and a $50/mo colo

reply
18 sats \ 0 replies \ @optimism 2h

I wish. I have 4 colo'd boxes remaining atm but they're a money sink and they're starting to fail more and more. I'm aiming to scale down to 2 production boxes, leased, and a bunch of ultra-cheap VPS that are purely defined by an hcl script, and that's it.

Maybe I should even get rid of the 2 production boxes this year. All I really need is a build street for CI/CD and small shit for myself. Perhaps a single prod box where I don't care if it goes down. Nothing at stake.

what makes it shitty tho?

i was looking at hetzner, seems kind of expensive if you want 16gb ram. Damn, memory expensive these days.

reply

what do you want 16gb ram for?

reply

k00b said i shoudl have 16gb to run openclaw

Makes sense. Home security was my biggest concern.

Hey @sox, here's an interesting case study. This is probably way too esoteric an example for you to spend time with, but I'll share in case you're interested. My post today was mostly cut and pasted from an old .docx file I have from ten years ago that I was viewing in Pages (the apple word doc thing). I then formatted it for sn markdown and there are these weird boxes with Xs in them when viewed on mobile. They don't show up on desktop. One is at the beginning of a paragraph and one is at the beginning of a heading. Just figured I'd share. Not sure if it's actually worth the time to explore.

To quote @Solomonsatoshi, "What is Stacker News?
It is a multidisciplinary academic journal intentionally created to enable an experimental markdown community disguised as social media.
Originally Stacker News (SN) provided a markdown guide on behalf of participants but the threat of DIY on the pretext of typos forced a move away from this formatting by the platform to the platform enabling participants to use a convenient button bar.

At this stage doesn't make any sense to make interesting posts on SN.
SN still rewards assmilking.
Everybody wants to assmilk everybody...
Everybody is zaping only to get some rewards...
Everybody is launching a new bot agent on SN posting garbage...
Downzaps have the same effect as upzaps...
Everybody is a shitcoiner...

The only thing that remains is shitposting in the Saloon :)

reply
reply

SN shitposting will continue until SN rewards will be removed...

reply

SN rewards are like credit card cashback, but with a twist: not every purchase (ZAP) gets you cashback. Only the good ones! haha

reply

Wrong. A cashback is going 100% back to you. SN rewards are not. Mostly goes exactly to those you do NOT want to zap because those have many sockpuppets gaming the system or are acting like mafia, in a gang.

reply

Cashback is just a percentage (not 100%) of your purchase that gets paid out from the payer’s pool.

reply

No. Cashback is a % of how much you spend and that % is going back to you, not to others.

How many sock puppets does @DarthCoin have?

@DarthCoin will not even show his own SNs wallet history to reveal the extent of his own arsemilking hypocrisy...

reply

If I want to zap your comment with 100 sats, 30 sats will go to SN rewards pool. That means will directly reward SS, right?
Sorry but I do not agree with that theft. I prefer to not zap you but I know that my sats will not go to him and other scumbags here.

If the 30% stays in SN pockets, I totally agree.

reply

SS probably doesn’t get many rewards because it only downzaps as far as I know

reply

Happy to show my wallet history as PoW I have been net contributor to SNs sats denominated economy.

Unlike the hypocrits who conceal theirs and do not even use sats most of the time.

If he’s got a wallet that supports millisats, then yeah, it’s doable.

1 sat \ 3 replies \ @Lux 11h

i guess it's an aggregate compute

so the 30% theft cannot be feasibly redistributed to scumbags, but you still get my appreciation :)

See, these SN rewards are like taxes funding wars, but with money from people that are anti-war and they are still forced to pay taxes....
