GM! ☕️ How are you today? 💜🫂 Monday, Monday... Today is a nice, warm and sunny day, so I decided to harvest winter garlic. The leaves are slowly drying up and turning yellow and this is a sign that the garlic should be harvested. From the time you peel the flower until the leaves dry out, the garlic bulb grows by up to 25%, so it's worth waiting. #foodstr

For context, my usage was around brainstorming ideas for a sci-fi novel I intend to write. I tried llama3 briefly, then switched to dolphin-mixtral, a mixtral-based model that attempts to remove alignment and increase compliance.
I found that both had similar knowledge. For example, both were familiar with authors I wanted to reference like Robert Zubrin and Kevin Kelly.
Both seemed to think that climate change was a big issue that humanity needed to solve—even after I told them to ignore climate concerns for the purpose of the brainstorm.
Where they differed that I could tell was in bias around character design and in tone. Llama kept suggesting characters that were predominantly female doctors, mostly Indian/East Asian. Dolphin seemed more willing to suggest male characters.
Regarding tone, the prose llama3 produced tended to be chipper and light hearted, even when I prompted it to be dark and cerebral. Dolphin-mixtral was more willing to offer darker prose.
These are my general impressions so far.

Tesla’s Furious Rally Is Another Massive Short Squeeze

Having become more aware of these issues, and especially with the recent financial data leak of Evolve, one question persists...
Where are the victims? Why does it stop at data leak? And I don't mean bitcoin/crypto related, I mean general consumer harm en masse.
Without that follow up, data leaks appear to be routine but harmless, something that gets resolved easily. If insurance claims cover it up, then it likely leads to inflation, maybe that is worth reporting on?
If it is only bitcoiners that get targeted, it only helps to enrage us, which is fine, but it keeps the normies at distance from bitcoin instead of leaning away from KYC.

If you’re thinking about running an LLM at home for the first time, here’s my top 4 tips:
1. Try GPT4ALL and/or ollama. These are launchers that help you download and interact with models. GPT4ALL is a GUI, while ollama is a command line program.
2. Current models come in roughly two sizes: 7B and 22B parameters. These are ~4GB and ~40GB respectively, but they can be even bigger. If your GPU has computational capability AND sufficient vRAM, then the models can be run on GPU. If not, they’ll run on CPU, but more slowly. Try a 4GB model to start.
3. Although there are a relatively small number of popular architectures (llama, mistral, etc.), there are lots of variants of models to choose from. Hugging Face (terrible name) is the site to browse for models.
4. “Alignment” is the new word for bias (particularly the philosophical/political kind). A model tweaked to be maximally compliant and unbiased is called “unaligned”. The big mainstream models are “aligned” with the companies that produced them. Find unaligned models if you want less biased results. (I’ve been happy with the Dolphin line of models by Cognitive Computations).
Good luck!

Gad Saad on X: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
”I've said this before but it's worth repeating: World history is defined by the following simple rule. There are two groups on either side of a river. Each covets various resources from the other group. The only thing that stops a perpetual conflict between the two groups is the realization by each group that the other will respond in equal measure (or worse) if attacked. Now imagine that the West has decided to throw away this defining dynamic that shapes this fundamental historical reality. Defending what is ours is rooted in our genes; it is a central feature of our human nature. But the West has said that we are so progressive, so empathetic, so enligteneed that we are not bound by pediastrian biology. Hence, we will not defend our culture; we will not defend our heritage; we will not defend our religion; we will not defend our women; we will not defend our children; we will not defend our values. According to our Western leaders, only barbarians worry about such defensive concerns. We are open, tolerant, kind, compassionate, welcoming. No amount of evidence can convince us that other groups might do us harm. And hence, we brainwash our children who become our politicians; we rejoice in the rape of our societies because this proves that we are kind. It is a mixture of what I discussed in The Parasitic Mind and what I'll be presenting to the world in my next book Suicidal Empathy. I frankly am running out of optimism; I'm bereft of hope. I fight every day at great personal and professional cost. But how can you change anything when your society is hellbent on committing orgiastic suicide?”

All governments are Mafia. They are the high table. They have a monopoly on force... Standard Rothbard stuff.
I'm ignorant to the specifics. It raises an eyebrow, but I'll reserve judgement. The nation is still getting on its feet, so hopefully he's building those industries internally and not relying solely on imports.
He's not whoring his people and land to the globalists, which makes him an enemy. Globalist bankers have creative ways to make others bend the knee, so he gets a lot of leeway from me and price gouging is frowned upon in the US as well. Again, specifics matter.
Protecting a nations trade is not necessarily collectivist. It's exactly what any CEO should be doing. Clearing obstacle, protecting established business and creating new roads to business.

We used NIP-54 as a base, not NIP-23, because we assume that there can be x versions/editions of the same book, with different titles, and they should all show up in a list together, like in a wiki.
The "d" tag has two completely different use cases: either as a topic/subject tag OR as a unique ID.

NATO’s Plan for Permanent War in Ukraine and on the Fareast Front — Putin Has Stalin’s Hitler Problem, by John Helmer

American, British and Canadian troops in NATO’s forward bases in Poland, Latvia, and Lithuania are being told to prepare for deployment to the Ukraine next year. They are also being warned to expect to fight under heavy Russian artillery, missile, guided bomb, and drone strikes. This message is also intended to slip into the hands…

one of the key things to understand about Christianity is that the central thing you need to understand is that what you fear, you must put it somewhere else, in the hands of someone else, who will carry it for you, someone who can carry the weight of the whole world
why is this important? because fear stops us from living, it stops us from learning, it stops us from having a future
> Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
- Phillipians 4:6-7
the other thing is understanding that part of that weight is something you simply cannot carry, and so you bumble along, under the weight of a yoke that you can't see, being driven like an ox to perform labor for someone who only wants to watch you suffer
you let go of that burden by saying "Jesus, take this from me, I cannot do this by myself"
last night it became lucid to me what this actually means, not just words that sorta wash past my ears and don't enter into my mind
i have been slowly poisoning myself because i can't carry that weight, for decades, and i'm finally fucking over it
sin is error, and we can't help but have some in us, all of us have errors in our code, and we can't see it properly by ourselves, and that feeling of doom that it's going to run you into the ground itself runs you into the ground even harder
it's been a thing for me anyway, today is a new day and the beginning of a new age of my life... in fact i am coming to my first Jubilee - in 11 months time, and it is past time to renew

Imagine you're one of the big zombie companies on the Japanese zombie market, trading in yens, and you still not get it. 🫣
On the other hand, given the average age of senior executives in these, and their attitudes towards taking risk or actually inovating, I wouldn't be surprised if it takes another epoch or more to even notice.

I guess if you spend your bitcoins to improve your life she will be happy as well.
But the real question is, what would really improve your life? Bigger house? Probably not, unless you live in a 2 bedrooms and 3 kids. Moving to another place? Why? To get closer to loved ones? Maybe yes.
More travel? If it's your lifestyle to discover and meet people, maybe, but you don't want to spend months at the beach drinking cocktail, you will get bored after less than a year.
More fashion clothers, more expensive accessories, gadgets, expensive car, expensive restaurant and shit, definitely not.
Less work and more free time without depending on a paycheck, to read, learn, build your own stuff and adventures, grow your food, help others. Definitely the right way.
Now set your goal, set your sats targets and max sats expenses and improve your life by living free. Stacking your sats forever with no goal is also pretty stupid and useless.
