Satoshi regularly took two spaces after a period. He uses vocabulary tied to British

There is a famous British cryptographer called Adam Back, who is also the inventor of the proof of work method laid out on the paper “hashcash”. He also leaves two spaces after a period (or used too)

I don’t think it really matters who created it. If you read the political story of bitcoin things look a lot clearer.

“The Blocksize War: The Battle Over Who Controls Bitcoin's Protocol Rules” is a good entry point

My take on it is that GPT is already a general purpose technology. It already can be used to solve ill defined coding problems that were not possible to solve a couple of years ago.

I feel that some people lack creativity to use it.

GPT is as good as the user is at posing good and well defined questions and tasks.

Its ability to perform few shot learning is astounding.

Imagine someone giving you a executable binary without the source code and calling it "open source"

Well, no pixel 8 for me. Pixel 7a will be my last pixel phone.

I thought pixel 7a would be a nice upgrade from my pixel 4a. Three months later, the battery barely lasts a a day, and the microphone stopped working clearly due to a software bug, ie, it works on calls and videos, but not on applications.

While making voice calls on a Bluetooth system, the connection randomly drops, and when it connects back, the microphone doesn't work, only speaker. Very poor product for the price.

The wireless charging charges 1% per hour. There are probably more issues I can't remember right now
