"CR" for short. Edited "Kicking the Hornet's Nest" (everything Satoshi wrote publicly in chronological order). Made the Nostr Wiki at https://nostrwiki.vercel.app and Nostr bridges: Nostrdon (with Mastodon) & Hostr (with Hive). Home page: https://crrdlx.vercel.app

Two surprises at the grocery store: 1. these fruits startled me looking like a mass of tarantulas, 2. they're part of the lychee family which I've been picking the past few days. Scary ones are rambutan, mine in bags.

Let me get this straight, this Trump Wallet site gets uncovered by a dev. Then both Don Jr and Eric deny any connections, and even Barron joins X, handle barronxspaces (for the first time?) to deny the wallet. Meanwhile Don Jr does in fact say a wallet is indeed coming, just not that website (trumpwallet dotcom), and listen to worldlibertyfi. Sounds to me like, "We're not involved ('cause we weren't ready for go-time), but yes it's totally happening."

It's becoming more and more clear to me, and fast, that coding with no longer be defined by which dev can best write and debug code, but by which hacker-coder (vibe coder) can best utilize AI to mash up code and get it working. Man coding (manual coding) is driving the car with reins and buggy whips, new coding is telling the auto-drive car where to take you and sitting back while you get there.

Picking lychees. They need a few more days to ripen up. Normally they're a mix of tang and sweet. They're more tangy now, but still good. Would like to wait for them to sweeten, but you gotta pick when you can. image

Want a good investment? Buy forever stamps. Inflation went up 21% 2013-2023 (CPI), but stamps went up 26% in price. Forever stamps hold their value in comparison. Stamps are the new gold. image

Ever have so much to do in one day you don't know where to start? That's where I am today.

This Strategy plan is starting to worry me. Saylor is literally just making stuff up now to get more money in order to buy more #bitcoin. I get wanting to acquire BTC, but this creating stocks and shares promising greater payouts down the road is starting to sound awfully pyramid-ish. It works as long as BTC goes up, then it doesn't. I'll give him credit for doing what he believes in. Instead of changing the name from Microstrategy to Strategy, he should have changed it to Going All In because that's what he's doing.

I realize that "AI is making us all dumber" is the idea du jour, but I'm starting to wonder if it's true. At least in this early-going period, until AI gets really smart or truly figures out us dumb people, it might make us smarter. In the least, it might improve our writing skills. To use AI effectively, it absolutely forces us to use as much exact precision in our writing as possible. And, with language being so close or the same thing as thinking, it requires us to think with precision. This article is great along these lines:

On desktop, I can't get an image to upload on my usual go-to clients: failed on Nostrudel, then Coracle, then Iris. Finally got an image to work on Yakihonne. What gives?

The lychees (notoriously fickle year to year) are coming in nicely. Getting that beautiful deep red. Already ate a few and they are good, need to sweeten up a bit, but still good and tangy. My wife has recipes lined up. image

I don't know about global warming on the rise, but seems like geomagnetic storms are on the rise. Or maybe they're just a buzzy thing now and we hear about them more...I lean this way. Anyway, I've been looking up but haven't seen any auroras and feel left out. Had to make my own fake one: It's pretty and fun, and actually reports the current activity on the 0-9 scale.

One thing I respect about AI chatbots is how confident they are. They will tell you something like "The Earth is flat," with complete confidence. Then when you call them out, they're like, "You're right, the Earth is round," then just move on like they were never wrong at all. I've met successful financial advisor types like that when it comes to stock markets. They'd be totally wrong, but then just move on.

Forget about building a rocket to occupy Mars without exploding before leaving Earth's orbit and forget about AI pushing us all out and taking over the globe. If you want to save humanity, we need to focus our engineering on designing a coffee pot that won't spill everywhere when you pour it. #savethehumans

Lots of geomagnetic activity going on, might be auroras at night. For fun, I made this to check the current level of activity, 0-9 (it's a 6 right now). It's not Van Gogh's "Starry Night", it's "Solar Flare Night": image
