First thing I did after opening this thread was ctrl+f r/bitcoin. I was already familiar with large scale social manipulation in politics, but would never imagine such a thing could happen in a bitcoin subreddit, that event was eye ope

I'm actually trying this right now, but it is becoming much harder than I expected. The fact that I keep needing to recompile kernel and rebooting device doesn't help. I'm trying to make the display and touchscreen work consi

I don't think you will get competitive at games by just playing it a lot. Many pro players watch other players, talk to other players, train with other pro players, are coached by other players, so they don't just play 1k hours, t

So do you think it is completely normal to recognize :̶.̶|̶:̶;̶ as a meme, but then it is completely unreasonable to recognize just :.|:; and it should definitely be AI bots? Really? To convert the comic to :̶.̶|̶:̶;̶ is a very very dista

The question is, what from what you have said is *strictly* only possible by using a blockchain? If you are already going to build something completely new, what is preventing you from creating something that fixes all those problems and do

I think a better idea would be to bet in running/adapting linux on smartphones. I have actually looked into this in the past. It could be very awkward in the beginning with most of the things hard to use because they were made for desk

I dont agree. > This may be stored as a boolean column, is_confirmed, in the database. It makes a lot of sense. But, you're throwing away data: when the confirmation happened. You can instead store when the user confirmed their emai

I learned a lot this in competitive programming. I used to write code that were 3-5x the size of the intended solution. There are many reason why you could write a worse/bigger solution but sometimes when I compared both solutions one

I don't understand, are you saying: 1) you dont need AI to generate code because you dont need any code at all? If you dont need any code then this discussion is useless. 2) AI generates more and worse code. Well, if you start with thi

Thanks. I was wondering if the benefit was on just writing by itself, randomly rereading it with no purpose, searching for something specific, etc. I've tried journaling before but I would rarely read it for anything. This is something

You can build all the tools yourself, or you can just go to a "tools store", install it and use it. MCP is just the standard everyone can use to build, share and use these tools. Just like an app store, a chrome extension store, w
