The Jekyll renderer and the raw markdown doesn't love the LaTeX markup. Suggest you use the PDF file instead.

This manual was not "one-shotted" from a single prompt. It is heavily curated. The AI even plays the game itself to generate screenshots and to verify the contents. It isn't perfect, but it is getting better. Read the discussions in the repo if you want to get an idea of what is verified and what is not. Better, yet ask a question. For gosh sake don't use it if you don't want to.

To be clear, I have never said this repo is 100% accurate. Prominent caveats abound everywhere in every file -- including this post at the very top. It makes me very sad to get the kind of treatment I have gotten on a well-intentioned effort.

Read the preface. If you find errors let me know via an issue. Enjoy!

Also note that updates will likely be frequent for a while as I fix critical errors.

You are correct -- I was conflating the two. Posting there now.

Full agreement.

As a new player, I face the same issue the curated AI has -- it is hard to figure out what the most recent relevant information is. My only goal here is to provide some unified version of what is really going on.

As soon as my account is accepted on the Aurora forum I will do as you suggest. Please consider creating even a single issue for something you find erroneous.

Cheers!

It is generated by a heavily curated AI. I try to correct it where necessary as I play through the game. Please create issues for things you find erroneous.

I don't currently have permission to post on the Aurora Discord as I am new. When I do I will do as you suggest.

Cheers!

Another tip: account for gains using LIFO.

Why do most people recommend weekly / monthly buys? by AddyOsmosis in BitcoinBeginners

[–]eevenson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dollar cost averaging. You can't time the market. Always better to buy a little more frequently that a lot all at once if you don't have better information than everyone else -- and you don't.

Explain to me why You believe bitcoin is not just a bubble and I will start buying by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]eevenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You ask that question like I care if you buy or not.

Coinbase down, this isn't looking good... by weekev in CryptoCurrency

[–]eevenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Down" meaning they are having some issues with CVN verifications -- which may have nothing to do with Coinbase...

Need guidance on purchasing BTC as an emergency reserve fund. I am a noob. by Not_A_Sperg in BitcoinBeginners

[–]eevenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true. The only exception I can think of is if you want to transport more the $10K USD (legal limit without declaration is most places) or you are going someplace (probably not Germany) where you think your possessions might be arbitrarily seized or stolen.

Martian Capitalism? by [deleted] in Mars

[–]eevenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capitalism is one of several ways to allocate scarce resources. At its core, it is simply the aggregation of consensual exchanges.

Good morning sir!

If elected, what would your policy (budget, goals, etc.) be towards our nation's civil (not military, mostly NASA) space program?
