Here to echo this. I heard mechanic get vocal about this over a year ago,while running a node the whole time.
I thought, "my node doesn't have any issues, and this new spam thing will surely get priced out by real txs" L1 TX fees were much, much higher then.
Im glad this has been brought back up now In a lower fee environment, as it as bp shake n the feeling that this ordinal and inscruptions stuff has become "normal" because it is still here and not priced out.
I never understood how my mempool could affect this until this recent publicity, and I have decided to start filtering it.

You can do a lot through the system prompt to uncensored models, but it's not perfect. For a model that's uncensored by default I would recommend r1-1776. It's deepseek but with all the Chinese censorship removed. It's a reasoning model so you need a pretty hefty gpu to run it though. It scrapes along on my 4070 TI super though.

I have been running ollama for nearly a year myself, and haven't touched anyone else's AI in like a year. I use openwebui for my front-end and it opens up a lot of possibilities. I also host it publicly so anyone can check it out before diving into setting up their own sovereign AI server. The link is in my bio.

I've heard rumors of this myself. I've also heard some interesting things about knots having a stricter mempool policy and I find that interesting as well. It would be interesting to run both and watch the mempools for the differences.

Hell yeah. Knots is definitely a valid answer, I guess I just don't know of a broader term for it offhand. I should definitely spin up a knots node at some point and check it out.

Killing one person was murder; killing a few or dozens was ore murder; so killing thousands or tens of thousands ought to be punished by putting the murderer to death a thousand times. What about more than that? a few hundred thousand? The death penalty, right? Yet, those of you who know some history are starting to hesitate.
What if he killed millions? I can guarantee you such a person would not be considered a murderer. Indeed, such a person may not even be thought to have broken any law. If you don't believe me, just study history! Anyone who has killed millions is deemed a 'great' man, a hero.
And if that person destroyed a whole world and killed every life on it--he would be hailed as a savior!

This may seem really obvious, but im still gonna say it.
In a language(or protocol) that is less formal and is used by less users, it is easier it is to change the definitions within that language.
The easier it is to change definitions, the easier it is to change what has been expressed after the fact within that language to fit a current a narrative.

I was running sound at a local venue tonight. Overheard a well dressed couple discussing MMT. Even though it's fiat, I left that building with more than I came in with, and they likely left it with less. It's all proof of work, always has been.

Not having to waste Human Life to protect monetized wealth is worth every watt.

Human rights are not laws of nature. They are pretty neat, but they do not apply by default.

I am a musician, and have had it compose music for me. It's not the greatest at it, but it gives me somewhere fresh to start.

Anyone in the nostrverse have an old copy of pokemon emerald they would be willing to sell? I got a bunk bootleg copy from my local shop, and I'm wanting to try and get my hands on an OG one.

I discovered pretty quickly after getting into bitcoin that one of the easiest things to buy with it, is crypto. In hindsight, this is very telling.
Who wants your bitcoin so bad that they are able to push themselves to the front of the line?
Blackrock?
Crypto folk?
Your local grocery store?

Shading and depth look great! Also it's pretty cute.

I'm not the most up to date, I took a 15 year break from the game and just started getting back into it. a lot has changed, and the power creep is real. but I did pull this card a few weeks ago, and when researching it, I found that a deck based around it made it to third place in the world championships. (It's also how I learned there is a world championship)
I know any good deck usually also has one radiant card in it, their abilities are usually pretty useful, and because of that, you can only have one per deck. So usually the meta is built around a heavy hitter and a radiant card to keep buffing them up.

~30 USD for this one, this one's more of a looker than a meta card, and paid a premium for that. It's still pretty cracked in game though, but wouldn't be used in a pro deck or anything.

Price may be a little down compared to yesterday, but not down as bad as all of these services this morning. There's something in the wires, but if you're reading this, you're probably fine anyway.

This is really cool, because I just snagged some sats and while I haven't dug into it yet, there's a chance they could be these vintage near mint sats lol.
