What if Satoshi is already a billionaire?

If Satoshi has at least half a brain (which we know he has), he knows that moving even one coin from this historical stack could crash the whole Bitcoin economy. So, no, he doesn’t have trillions of dollars.

(It is so basic, I’m still confused by people asking how could he not sell those coins. Because the answer is simple: to whom?)

It can’t be Finney because there was an entire send reply send reply sequence that was while Finney was in a marathon race between Satoshi and others which could not have been scripted.

The case for Jack Dorsey is much stronger than the Back claim.

What if he is already very wealthy and very famous … and knows there is no upside for Bitcoin if they disclose it.

Wealthy people are notorious for having a ravenous desire for more wealth... It's often the mindset that made them wealthy in the first place - unless they inherited it, and even then.

Like a certain Adam Back

Or Jack Dorsey.

Dorsey sure does promote the shit out of Bitcoin on all his socials.

I’m think a great marketing line for local/selfhosted LLMs in the future - “You can swear at your LLM and nobody will care!”

I wanted to use the existing ABE product for exactly that, especially as you can actually lockdown apple devices properly to stop teens from undoing VPN settings etc … however it’s explicitly against their policies to use ABE for personal devices and I’d guess the same for this new iteration of it.

You are right. I didn't read the terms. Looks like ABE can only be used by a business entity.

Finally found another Aider user to ask. How does Pi compare to it?

Why and what would a good benchmark look like?

30 people trying out all models on the list for their use case for a week and then checking what they're still using a month after.

> it's almost like it's flat

It is almost. 4200R means the circular radius is 4.2 meters for the curve. That’s too big a radius for using as a desk monitor that large imho.

4200R is very gentle curvature. Wouldn’t it have been better to curve more aggressively, like at least 2000R for such a large screen if the purpose is a desk monitor?

I don't see ast-grep as being very useful to an agent.

What a coding agent needs is to be able to locate portions of source code relevant to what it has been tasked with, and preferably in more context-efficient fashion than just grepping and loading entire source files into context. One way to do this is something like Cursor's vector index of code chunks, and another would be something like TreeSitter (or other identifier-based tools) that knows where identifiers (variables, functions) are defined and used.

Language servers (LSP) are not useful for this task since they can't tell the agent "where is function foo() defined" (but TreeSitter can), since as someone else noted language servers are based on location (line number) not content (symbols). Language servers are designed to help editors.

It's possible that ast-grep might be some some use to a coding agent, but looking for syntax/AST patterns rather than just identifier definitions and usages seems a much more niche facility.
