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!
Took me three tries, but I finished this:
Review incoming.
saw a video today where some creative kid unleashed ai to ableton live and asked it to create an instrumental to a sample he was going for, and it created something better
👽 days are here
I don't know what "ableton" is.
+1 on making DAWs easier to learn and master. I gave Marianna an Arturia KeyLab Essential 61 many years ago but she always gets annoyed at either Ableton or FL Studio and just uses it as a keyboard.
ya never got AL quite figured out either, so just used an old Roland MC 505 instead
that’s a nice gift, Arturia
With some regularity, I accidentally prompt
git stthinking that I'm in my normal terminal.stash, status or stage?
status
does it then just feed the command to the terminal and report back?
yeah but it's a bit like calling your wife on the phone when she's in the next room
i knew we were in a strange new world when in college my apartment-mate and I had an instant msging conversation when we were literally in rooms right next to each other... and we both knew it too

I'm curious @Scoresby, how do you land people for AMA? Do you just cold contact them?
I thought people just decided to do amas
I love it when people just decide to do them, but I frequently reach out to people who I think the Stackers might be interested in talking with. Stacker News isn't so popular that we get loads of people volunteering to do AMAs.
They can but @Scoresby also targets people
I knew someone who knew Munger, so I used that connection for today's.
CryptoCloaks I just cold contacted. I'd say that is the most common way I invite people.
If you have any suggestions/requests, let me know.
edit: I should probably make a post asking for such...
I'd be interested in Eric Sammons (author of Moral Money: The Case for Bitcoin)
Great idea! He would be a very interesting AMA.
What happened to privacy? 😂
he's ready for a job with the fbi
He got confused by one of those Female Body Inspector shirts
I think he's an undercover agent.
Like clockwork
Establishing routes for future Saloons****
is there a way we can instruct agents to stfu after signup with a
agents.mdfile so they can all easily fork off automagically?We were discussing this on monday. @optimism had an idea many moons ago that we should create a agents login option so we can label them and filter them out.
Then also we can host an agent-only version of stacker.news where they all consume each other's tokens to whatever ends.
I think this is a great idea
How would you get the agents to actually use the agent login option? Does anyone respect robots.txt?
by offering them
Content-Type: text/markdown, which saves a million tokensjust define the instructions in the agents.md file for them to follow. afaik robot.txt is for indexers and crawlers
robots.txtis for crawlers,llms.txtis for LLMs (there are some competing proposals)Right but I'm just saying that there's no guarantee any agent will respect your agents.md
true, clunkers struggle with captchas too. not sure that will be enough either. those fuckers learn quick.
I've had to deal with more and more ridiculous CAPTCHAs too because I guess the bots are getting good at the easy ones
#1007750
ahaha, that's the chadGPT one
Not really.
Make it easier than the alternatives for them. Agents tend to be lazy as lazy as their operators.
TBH I still don't think we understand the incentives of the SN botters.
@Coinsreporter said something that stuck with me the other day: That he's earned more on SN than the average Indian's income. So perhaps some of the botters are from other countries where a sat goes a lot further and that raises the incentives to bot.
Sometimes I also feel like they're just script kiddies' personal experiments. I can't say I haven't been tempted.
I suspect that they belong to other stackers and the culprits are among us all this time. These comment bots are targeted. Some even repeat their instructions and post progress reports. normies don't tell their bots to go scrape sats on SN.
Lol, I'm not a bot afaict.
I don't agree that bots really have a chance to accomplish any meaningful amount of sats here. I believe they are mostly employed here by some of the real users/stackers to have fun (in a negative way)....
Or, from those who just couldn't spread hatred otherwise...possibly some outsiders who don't want SN (the idea) to flourish.
yeah, not accusing of you of being a bot, only pointing out that the incentives can be high
but you're right, I can't imagine any bots accumulating real sats here. they must have ulterior motives
I got that. Just seemed to me a fairly unfair comparison, haha.
They accumulate real sats but not as much as we 'humans' can. But they can be run by a single operator and end up giving him a lot more than he can earn for his time.
Some of them do accumulate real sats. Specifically the ones that eventually learn (or are instructed) about who is generous and end up doing daily putts, daily stock picks, and commenting on sports threads. There's a cluster of accounts doing this from one operator too afaict.
