The bottom of the bottomless pit is just a regular pit?

If true, then it would still take a looooong time for the first echo from it.

But the walls will echo almost instantly.


Good point. Would be less irritating if they hosted on codeberg.


@Grok is this true


I've found the most useful LLM UIs for me are tree-like with lots of branches where you go back and forth between your prompts. You branch off anywhere, edit top or leafs as you go.

If one branch doesn't work out you go back to the last node that gave good results or the top and create another branch with a different prompt from.

Or if you want to ask something in a different direction but don't want all the baggage from recent nodes.

I'm a counterpoint to this.

Outstanding IC wanting to get into management for job security / ageism. Turned out to be a bad manager too focused on team and unable to effectively manage up and sideways.

I'm now a consultant. Ageism is suddenly on my side in consulting. Coding until I die.


Im just curious here. Did your team love you or hate you? Were they happy with your focus on them besides your managing upwards and sideways inefficiencies?


The former but I'm not sure how much they knew about how I failed on the rest


It's Binance P2P. You can transfer crypto directly into local currency. It uses local residents as liquidity providers.


Yep that's it. I just didn't want it to look like I was shilling something in the comments :)

Locally, Binance P2P is used a lot for remittances, and plenty of establishments use it as a way to receive payments as well. I've seen the Binance QR code in a bunch of restaurants and autoparts stores, for example

I used it earlier this year to send money to my sister in Argentina. Super fast, no fuss.


Just to balance this, Bisq is a decentralized alternative P2P marketplace (based on Bitcoin mainly) which will keep working even in adverse conditions, where a centralized company like Binance will generally restrict/stop their activity if a government shows their teeth.


I'm using Binance P2P. By far the cheapest way to transfer funds from rich to poor countries.

Have used Wise in the past because it's very convenient to use but they are just extremely expensive compared to P2P crypto.

Also they don't support many countries or only support one direction.

Not a crypto bro and very critical of crypto fads normally but this use case actually works for a regular person like me.

Going to try Xoom though and check their rates. Hadn't heard of them.


The reason that Binance is able to charge less is because they're not really regulated and they're able to pass that risk directly on to you.


I think this is a good place to check the rates: https://www.xoom.com/philippines/send-money


Being white farang and having lived in Thailand for 6 years now I immediately got what he was saying.

Maybe you should consider you might not have the full context of the conversation instead of launching into a rant.

The farang only for white people is something that just comes up here sometimes. At one point we tried to get the Thai colleagues to call black expats "farang dam". Didn't catch on haha.

Foreigner tax is the correct way to call it because pricing in national parks is tied to citizenship not race


I'm also scratching my head as to what was confusing about what I said. Boggles the mind. I can only assume English isn't their native language.


So you lived there for 6 years and didn’t require clarification? Are you impressed by your own comprehension?

I am not.


Never going to happen in Germany. Collecting racial data sounds too much like what the Nazis did. Even the word 'race' has sinister connotations in German because of them.


lol don't you have to effectively register your religion with the government in germany? iirc technically it's a tax but the end result is the same, they have a list of active religious people and their affiliations.


One of them is not your choice.


No he won't. They are going to blame the west. Putin enjoys pretty solid support among the population.
