Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!

Yes- well worth a second watch.
Great tragicomedy about US economic and moral decline.

in 3D? no way Maybe 1.25D for me haha
2.25D for me I think - at least at a high level. It's 0.5D when it gets to details lol
Here's something I've noticed: other forums on the internet are very insecure -- not in the tech sense, in the emotional sense.
what triggered that thought?
Been doing a lot of hands on market research.
Interesting observation. Why do you think that is?
Easy answer is that forums are all dying, besieged by spammers for years and lately slop and feeling that the only way to survive is ruthless defense of their own.
A more complicated answer might involve the human reaction to discomfort. Foreign ideas sometimes feel like they will destroy the comfort we have if we even deign to listen to them.
Hmm. Spammers and clankers make things less personal too. So there's less feeling of community that way. I saw most communities move to discords. Which sucks because the nature of that - invites, privileged rooms, moderation and real time chat - makes it even more of an echo chamber.
I suspect that echo chambers are what most people want -- probably even most of us here on SN. It feels great to be surrounded by people who agree with you and think like you do.
One of the cool things about the SN model is that it is designed to allow open participation. This seems really hard for outsiders to understand though.
You were personally banned for spam? Or a VPN IP address?
Pretty sure it wasn't VPN related. It was because I signed up and made a post describing a generic forum moderated by money (no names, no links, no mention of Bitcoin) and for some reason they find this problematic.
I did a bit of research first and tried to match the tone and attitude on the forum. They do seem to like discussing the idea of how to moderate communities, but the idea of using money is perhaps a bridge too far.
One of the things that people generally distrust in their echo chambers is
outsiders. This is a bit different here on SN, but I catch myself also being more skeptical of newcomers, and if there is even a remote sense of slop, I ignore the first post.Note that sufficiently downzapped content reduces its public visibility (downzapped posts do not enumerate outside of top downsats / new, downzapped comments render hidden in SSR) and removes anchors on links, so the effect is similar-ish on SN in terms of public discovery (and I think search engine discoverability too)
Some people here in SNs are pretty fragile too whenever confronted with ideas from outside their own Libertarian US exceptionalist circle jerking echo chamber bubble...
A demonstrable inability to engage in a good faith reasoned contest of ideas instead of stooping to crude trolling attacks on the messenger...
Plumbers will be helping put my wallet on a diet today relieving it of fiat weight. This is even more effective than the Beverly Hills Diet!
My buddy got a quote for nearly a whole coin to replace 1950s plumbing that makes the toilet overflow every time he takes a shower.
Ow. Plumbers and electricians. Plumbers are worse though because they have to deal with shit (and I can mostly do my own electrical).
I used to do my own plumbing too - still do it for friends from time to time. But this one was a step too far.
I was very much thinking about getting into plumbing or wiring as a retirement job, but then I saw the specs on what it takes through apprenticeship. Young man's job. I'd still like to know how to do the work right for my own home repair though. Wish there was a community college path for that kind of thing versus just apprentice-channels.
I was lucky - I learned from family.
Have always done my own plumbing over 44 years of renovating older houses and building new houses- its dirty work sometimes but not rocket science.
Modern systems are relatively simple and easy to install.
oh dear...yeah they get crazy with pricing...
AI has ruined that short period of history where you'd see a video or clip of someone doing something cool. Some parkour or sick backflip, some magic trick with cards or bunnies, or just someone catching an animal in their backyard doing something odd.
Now my first reaction to seeing anything like that is "probably AI".
AI has increased the relative value of seeing things IRL (to believe them) and IRL social contacts.
I hadn't looked at it that way before.I've been off social media for a long time and don't really come across that kind of content. For some, it will be a rl search, while for others, all that's left is gullibility.
this.
Thanks to everyone who participated. Let's always remember that freedom ⛓️💥 implies responsibility. Be free and keep stacking sats.

Howdy! Very new here, I landed on SN because of AI (Claude, haha). It told me to come and I'm glad I did, I really like the concept of SN.
I'm building something around Bitcoin, a tool to help people actually understand how it works. Still finishing it, I'll share it soon.
Otherwise, happy to read you all and jump into discussions. Cheers!
Welcome aboard!
What did you ask Claude that led to a Stacker News referral?
i ask about SEO and how i could share my stuff because it's about BTC he recomanded SN, he also told me about new.ycombinator but i didn't understand much there! Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you too.
That’s interesting because your comment made me wonder if SEO has become completely pointless and we should be thinking about why AI might recommend us.
i see TBH i know nothing about SEO, my friend who is good told me to do google serach (classic) but also bing dev tool cause bing is used a lot by chat GPT and stuff... i guess SEO is a game that evolve super fast and even more now that AI change the rules.
Good Practices in the Age of AI for Individuals? 👀
I finally got caught up with my "to do" list.
It only took about 3 decades.
[why] do you [...still!?)] want an AMA from @adlai ?!Hope for me to catch up with my to-do list!
Anthropic must do something about the multi-page paragraphs that its models produce. I have always had trouble focusing while reading (in my life), often having to reread the same lines, but this is just unreadable and kinda unfair.
I have to use GPT to decode whatever Claude yapped about, or write things myself.
edit: yes of course there are skills but it's clear that after 4.6 the focus shifted on maximizing LLMs performance by writing what the LLMs can comprehend better - and it makes sense, how else are we going to retire humans?
ohh and not to mention the vice of writing comments in a magical-mystical way often also referencing private/local files
Paste this at the end of every prompt you send out (when you're satisfied, put it in
CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md/rules/whatever you use):**IMPORTANT:** Keep paragraphs to 2–3 sentences max, separated by blank lines; use headings, short bullets, and bold key terms so the answer is skimmable. Prefer several small paragraphs over one long block — never write a wall of text. **IMPORTANT:** Write code comments that explain the code itself; never reference plan files, task docs, chat history, or anything outside the repo (no "as per plan.md", "per the spec above", "step 3 of the plan").I'll try this out in a few minutes, thank you! I've been doing this manually, but not with these words, and it's always a lottery.
Maybe I just got spoiled by the way LLMs used to talk i.e. with lists and spacing. People criticized it, me too, but it was actually comprehensible.
This should make Claude sound at least a little bit like early GPT - haha
He wakes us up at 4:30 am. He has breakfast, goes to the bathroom, plays, and then goes to sleep. Excellent service.
the life I deserve
Yes sir

Yesterday I met someone who called himself a “crypto lover” (if I had 1 sat for every shitcoiner I’ve met, I’d already own a spaceship to send them back to their planet) 5 min later? metaverses, avatars, virtual lands and jpgs pretending to be the future... I’m tired of this circus, meanwhile, SN is quietly building something real, people sharing ideas, building communities and sending real sats, no fake lands, no shitcoins, just Bitcoin, Lightning and humans using money, happy to be on the right side
