Amen to that. Wish I knew better before I got mine.


Well it kinda did change things up a bit. Me being able to receive payments across borders without significant delay or crazy fees is a decent perk, you can hate crypto culture and grifters trying to make a quick buck but it's applications are very real.


Won’t you get taxed on “gains”when you do that and then eventually convert to fiat?

I was considering this path a few years ago but all my research pointed to me being taxed for moving my own money from one country to another. Which would’ve cost significantly more than a good ol’ bank transfer. (I needed the fiat on the other end)

My understanding was that as far as the receiving bank is concerned, the converted crypto would’ve appeared out of an investment/trading platform and needed to be taxed

The bank transfer cost like a couple of bucks anyway so it wasn’t worth the risk of trying the crypto route in the end for me.


If you use stablecoins there will be no gains or losses.


wait what? you get morning erections when on low testosterone?


When googling, it seems to be the opposite. That morning erection is a sign of a healthy testosterone level.


He meant the opposite: They were absent.

It should be noted that this isn’t a truly reliable indicator like the internet suggests some times. For many people, they still get them but it occurs while they’re sleeping rather than at time of wake up.


Yeah I've always wondered about that. I haven't gotten them regularly since I was 16 - 17. But in my late 30's, I still have an annoyingly high libido, no issues in the bedroom, and testosterone in the upper range of normal.


Internet bro science about testosterone has evolved into something resembling a horoscope: If you read a list of symptoms of “low T” on the Internet nearly everyone will think they have a problem.

There’s a parallel problem where the testosterone replacement therapy industry has diverged from its original stated purpose of replacing missing testosterone. The trend now is to prescribe excessive doses, beyond what the person ever naturally had. It’s basically a doctor-prescribed steroids when overdosed, but that’s also what a lot of people think they want.

Even crazier, some of the TRT clinics are now prescribing anabolic steroid compounds that were only FDA approved for severe muscle wasting disorders and cancer patients. The subreddits even had scripts you could follow to trigger certain clinics to prescribe the steroids for a time.


Yeah that’s not true at all. Not sure where he got his info but it’s incorrect.


He probably meant absence of morning erections.


> Human Beings are incentivized to cure

i'm not so sure, insulin for diabetes is a solved problem yet it's costs hundreds of $ all because scumy of pharma corps(looking at you Eli Lily) keep renewing the patent using legal loopholes.


...in the US.


not from a tech field at all but would it do the context window any good to use "think" mode but discard them once the llm gives the final answer/reply?

is that even possible to disregard genrated token's selectively?


it's not a bug it's a feature!


With all due respect, that's one of the most misguided(i wanna say retarded but.. HN) takes I've seen in a while. How could he even compare the SLS (which costs per launch about as much as it took to develop the entire reusable Starship system) to Starship?

The guy is just blinded by his hatred for Elon to even acknowledge one of the historical achievements SpaceX engineers worked their asses off for.


hahaha gave me a chuckle.


>Also, if you care to explain, what' the stack used?

a claude prompt apparently haha


well to steal a quote, "Neural networks are second best at almost everything"
