Suggestions for online service providers where I can rent a desktop VM to play around with openclaude opencode pycharm etc? Like paying with sats anonymously but will take what I can get #asknostr #programming #python #ai #opencode

Every once and a while I will create a note in #amethyst, click publish, and it just... Disappears. Isn't shown on my profile. My relay list has several outbox relays, none of which have a bunch of errors in them. Any fix for this? #asknostr

I want to get started with #vibecoding and #opencode for #freedomtech but don't want to give it access to my entire filesystem 😬. I don't have the resources to run a separate vm with pycharm opencode etc. is there a decent remote desktop solution to this? I don't mind paying some money. Interested in experimenting with openclaude too. I could spin up another laptop just for this purpose with 8gb of ram or so, but having a separate piece of hardware for this seems dumb. I'm coming from a python/pycharm background. Ideas for the proper tech stack? @Derek Ross #claude #python #pycharm #ai #programming

Trying to get into #vibecoding for #freedomtech, coming from a background as an amateur python dev used to pycharm. It sounds like #opencode is probably what I want to use, but I don't want it to have access to my entire filesystem. What is the best approach? I don't have the system resources to run a full vm with opencode, pycharm, etc running inside it. I don't mind paying a few bucks a month to have this hosted elsewhere but IDK where to start with that. I like that such a solution would be portable. I could also spin up another laptop w 8GB ram on it, idk if that's really enough though. I've also looked into #clawdbot but that sounds like more than I need right now. Thoughts? Thank you anyone for your insight. #asknostr @Derek Ross

I don't understand how it's possible that sour candy technology peaked in the early 2000s. I want to feel my taste buds being scraped off my tongue. This is not the future I was promised. We haven't advanced past warheads candy and I'm so sad. #foodstr #candy

Does Shakespeare work for stuff aside from website? I want to develop a plugin for an existing app which is written in python. If not, what would you suggest for vibing? I typically use pycharm for developing. Thanks @Derek Ross #asknostr #vibecoding #python

Does #shakespeare support languages/uses aside from web development? I need a tool to help me code a plugin for an existing python project. If not shake, what do people suggest? I use pycharm for normal coding. #python @Derek Ross #vibecoding

Every AI you use has liberal bias. It's not right or wrong, it just is. But why is it this way? - The world has a liberal bias. There are way more people on team blue than team red, because urban areas tend to be liberal and most people live in urban areas. This means the bulk of written material in existence online will have a liberal bend to it. AI is not intelligent yet, it just gives you the most likely result. If 90% of your sources are liberal, 90% of your output will be too. - LLMs were largely trained on data from reddit, which has taken a strong turn to the left over the past few years. Social media platforms in general are mostly owned by liberal leaning people and companies with some notable opposite exceptions (x and truth social). Just something to be aware of. How to correct for this bias? - ask for it to provide alternative viewpoints - seek out different LLMs with different bias setpoints. Just like media consumption, look at stories from different news sources and you'll find the truth is often somewhere in the middle. - run your own LLMs and train them on your own datasets. This becoming more of a feasible reality every day. #ai #chatgpt #grok

🤔If you held 51% of the seats in Congress, the political system would do whatever you want 💰If you owned 60% of the banks, the financial system would exist only to serve you 🌹If 60% of people admired you, your social power would be nearly limitless ✈️If your country held 60% of global military power, the geopolitical landscape would bend the knee to you 🤯But if you owned 90% of the Bitcoin in the world, Bitcoin would not bend to your will. Bitcoin is the ONLY system designed by humans with this property: it does not grant special favors to the rich and powerful, it does not bend to their will. Bitcoin is going to do what Bitcoin is going to do no matter how much you have or how rich/powerful you are. It is the most fair, most democratic, most stable system ever made by human hands. Nature is abundant with systems like this, physics governs their rules. Being a rich and powerful human does not make you any less subject to the laws of gravity, the passage of time, or the inevitability of death. Which is why Bitcoin's strength comes from physics and math. It's not a separate system from nature, it's an extension of it. Bitcoin will print 21 million coins total, you can't make it print more. It won't accept fake or false transactions, you can't make it. It won't let you seize anybody else's funds or censor transactions. Ever. No matter who you are. And that's exactly why rich and powerful people don't want you to use it. Which is exactly why we must. #bitcoin

Look I have no idea what I'm doing ok 35 years ago I was born and now I'm sending you all letters with a television that fits in my hand and what even is a deductible and why doesn't it help on my taxes

🤦Here's one of the stupidest rituals I have ever participated in: A few years ago, I joined a progressive political organization, the details don't matter but let's just say that the stereotype of your average progresssive/liberal would have fit very comfortably in this environment. This was an online only group, we communicated only via text. This was a place where all participants could be freed of the oppressive bias of patriarchy, sexism, racism, and ableism. Here, behind text-only monikers, each of us could be judged, as Dr Martin Luther King said, by the "content of our character" or the quality of our work. 🤔 Surely, the DEI crowd, the avowed anti-racists, the people with diversity flags in their usernames, the people who had steeped themselves in knowledge about how to combat bias and discrimination would relish this environment. Except they did not. Instead, on day one, they insisted that all of us include our pronouns in our online nicknames and let everybody know what oppressed groups we belonged to. Because as always with these people, it isn't about equality, it's about deciding which in-group we're going to put on top this time. It's about weaponizing the language of bias against everybody else. It was absolutely ludicrous. 🧠 There is undoubtedly value in understanding the world from other people's perspectives and being aware of how implicit biases in ourselves and the systems we navigate impact other people. There is nothing more human than doing the same thing and having totally different subjective experiences, and then sharing these experiences with others. But that's not what this was. 🎯 Until the "left" expels this kind of thinking from their circles, they will continue to lose elections and the faith of moderate, reasonable people. Anybody who is truly dedicated to a more egalitarian future, to a world where one's skin color or gender shouldn't impact your access to opportunity, needs to be extremely cautious of thinking where we treat people differently based on these aspects of their identity. Many political commentators have suggested that disgust with this kind of rhetoric is part of why Trump won the last election, and I think there's absolutely some truth to that. ⚠️ Competitive victimhood is a mental illness. And it is driving people away from otherwise good ideas held by progressives. We need to do better.

Btcpayserver has a dependency on Bitcoin core, but there are also plugins for strike, breeze, etc. if you use these plugins do you still need btccore or can you get by without it? Further, for the lightning support,I see it can run cln or lnd. Both of these daemons have plugins that can eliminate the dependency on a full node, could that work with btcpay? Any help is appreciated #asknostr #btcpay #btcpayserver #bitcoin #lightningnetwork

🎓 If you have a young person in your life that is struggling to find work, opportunity, and direction, I implore you to read this post and share with people you think could benefit from this. Young people need our help, they are staring down a terrifying, unstable economic future. I cannot imagine the despair they must feel looking forward. And that's before we even get into how AI is decimating the job market and doubling in capability every 6-12 months. 🥳 But there's still one place that is ABUNDANT with opportunity, meaning, and paths forward: Bitcoin. Here's the TOP THREE reasons to work in Bitcoin and how to get started. 1️⃣ There is a TON of low hanging fruit in many areas: programming/development, UX/UI, media creation/eduction, implementation/consulting, etc. At least once a month I come across a idea that could be a big money maker, but nobody has taken it up because there is more opportunity than talent in the space. And that's something pretty crazy to say, given that the existing talent has built a 2 trillion dollar market. If Bitcoin was a country, it would be in the top 15 by GDP. And it got there in 16 years. 2️⃣This opportunity is across all scales from freelancer devs making their own products or chasing bug bounties to W-2 employment to seeking seed funding for multi-million dollar companies. This is a market that has been growing for 15 years and shows no signs of slowing down. 3️⃣This market DOES NOT CARE about your background. You do not need any kind of formal education. If you have trouble in the traditional job seeking environment, whatever barriers you face are practically non-existent in the Bitcoin space. The only thing people care about is signal and output. You've been to prison? You face discrimination based on your color, gender, nationality, etc? Bitcoin DGAF, only what you build does. Many of the best talents in the Bitcoin space work entirely anonymously, we don't even know their gender, nationality, etc. ⚠️"Crypto" gets a bad rap, and it should, but you should understand that there is a wide gulf of difference between people in "crypto" and people in Bitcoin. People in crypto are chasing quick money and making rug pulls, the pit is full entirely of snakes. The snakes don't go to Bitcoin, because the Bitcoin space is about the long-term growth of a public utility, and because no single person or company controls it, there is no way to leverage a privileged position to get rich quick. So the snakes generally avoid it. 😍 People in Bitcoin are genuinely enthusiastic about making a better future for humanity, and I know because I work with them every day. It is one of the few places I go where I am consistently humbled by the intelligence, optimism, grace, and character of the people around me. That kind of energy is contagious and exactly what young people need to stay on the right path and plot a valuable future. 🤔So how do you get started working in Bitcoin? - Educate yourself on the basics of Bitcoin and Nostr first. This will get you prepared to identify opportunities. Get an account on nostr, follow Bitcoin influencers like Odell, Jack Mallers, etc. - Bitcoin has multiple conventions every year, so does Nostr. And everything is online, free for you to watch. Check out Bitcoin Las Vegas and Bitcoin Prague. You will see what pain points people have with the technology, this is where your opportunity is. - Attend Bitcoin meetups, go to events and get into online spaces where people are talking about the tech. Skip anything related to investment, find those who are genuinely building. They are enthusiastic to teach you and get you involved. If you show up in these spaces with curiosity and enthusiasm, you WILL find opportunity. I know because I see it and have to pass on it every day because my schedule is already full. "Young people don't need a college degree. They don't need anybody's approval. They need ChatGPT and the knowledge that no man is above them"

The social contract is broken, how do we know? Because the demand isn't that the people in the epstein files be prosecuted, we know that has zero chance of happening, the demand is simply that the files be released. That's how little faith people have in government, they'd rather just let social media, a notoriously poor system for determining truth, decide what happened and appropriately punish these people. Yet outside of this context, ask people what you think government *should* do, and you'll hear that they should fund and have a monopoly on healthcare, look after us, and fight crime. That same government? Really? Get your consistency in check bro. Because you sound fucking fucking crazy right now.

📆 4 years ago this week: Canadian trucker protests get de-banked and turn to Bitcoin, raising over $1 million worth of funds. No bank, no centralized platform, no politicians deciding how much they can receive or how they can spend it. 🗽 💛 💙 Shortly after, Russia invaded Ukraine, and Ukraine becomes the first country to crowdfund a war with Bitcoin. When banks abandoned service in Ukraine due to "risk" and "liquidity issues", Bitcoin was there for Ukraine. To date they have received $51M worth of Bitcoin, receiving over ten whole BTC in the past six months alone 😲. No middlemen, no NGO taking a cut, no international wire fees and delays, no "explain why you're sending money to Ukraine or we won't let the transaction through", just money going exactly where it needs to go with no interruptions. Bitcoin is freedom money, it will be there for you when you need it. Nobody can stop a Bitcoin transaction no matter how rich or powerful they are. 16 years, 24/7, 365 days a year. #bitcoin #truckers #ukraine #freedom Ukraine official BTC address
