Tweet by Balaji (@balajis):
I will take that bet.
You buy 1 BTC.
I will send $1M USD.
This is ~40:1 odds as 1 BTC is worth ~$26k.
The term is 90 days.
All we need is a mutually agreed custodian who will still be there to settle this in the event of digital dollar devaluation.
If someone knows how to do this with a smart contract, we can do it on chain, so I can send USDC.
If you won't do that, name a custodian.

I'll bet anyone $1 million dollars that the US does not enter hyperinflation
happy 90 days after this tweet.
as i write this, bitcoin is priced at $25,000, below its $26,000 price point on march 17 and a mere $975,000 away from reaching the $1M price point as balaji predicted

Debugging Django Performance
I know Bsky is supposed to be shitposts only, but hear me out, this is the story of how some derelict debugging code that was never supposed to be called in production multiplied request latency by 5:

In this video, I cover seven little-known features, behaviors, and implementation details in the Prometheus monitoring system that I find mildly interesting....
7 Things You Didn't Know About Prometheus | Little-Known Features and Implementation Details
New @prometheusio.bsky.social video! This time about 7 little-known behaviors and implementation details. Some useful, some (AT LEAST) mildly interesting 😅
How many of these do you know? 🤔

There are also studies linking artificial sugar to mental health concerns. This is why I initially stopped drinking them.
Aspartame (in diet coke/coke zero) can mess with your dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine levels.
It also increases cortisol levels.

As fallout from yesterday’s “lawyer cites to made up cases” flapdoodle, I ended up somehow in a challenge against a guy who claimed that he could write a better brief with ChatGPT than a lawyer could without one.
It … did not really go how he planned.

A long rambling email reply generated by ChatGPT
From now on, I will respond to all spam email with a long, rambling ChatGPT-generated reply (and then reporting the original email as spam). Maybe one day I'll even have GPT write code to automate this process.

Don't despair - I remember seeing some company bringing them back for midrange shipping and passenger transport. I don't remember their name (maybe someone with better memory than mine does) but hopefully they'll succeed! 🤞🏻

I'm trying to learn these things right now, and painfully trying to find out if my models will perform better with or without the "idk" category. If you happen to know what keywords would be likely to turn up good papers/blogs/etc that would be fabulous
