 Yik yak was relevant for my freshman year of college and it was great.

 Does overheating itself count? 
 Man I'm really procrastinating these demo videos.

Really just want to go over some coding projects and explain the thought process and how they work

 Finished my second build (first one was a couple years ago)

Keys I wish I knew: 

1. do the software shit first so you aren't undoing shittons of soldering work

 "There can be no such thing as conditional property"

 Chatbots gonna accelerate language learning like crazy 

Just changed the system prompt to solo hablas en espanol and its working great

Speech to speech would be crazy but readings good too 
 Transformers one has some charm

But its like the origin of optimus vs Megatron

Megatron starts out good and they make a big deal out of him changing with his willingness to fight / kill transformers

Meanwhile the "good" guys are gleefully killing transformers too. 

But its only bad when Megatron does it

 When will it be malpractice to not invest in BTC? I'm thinking 2028 
 Idk why I enjoy loading up my 3090 with vLLM requests so much 
 That's hilarious 

"We're afriad that results showing that [thing] is bad may be used by people who don't support [thing]"

Telling on yourself that the main goal isn't truth/helpfulness

Or their in so deep their worldview forces them to ignore contrary evidence

<am I out of touch? No its the [data] that are wrong> 
 Dang I just lost like all enthusiasm for this project 
 8b on akimbo 3090s can "read" ~3.8 pages/sec 
 OK so srsly limiting the response output gave giant speed boost. Token generation is like 10x slower than prompt reading.

Outlines let's you constrain model output but I don't see how to have a conditional requirement. Like result:boolean quote:required if true

So gonna break it into 2 calls, one for the result and one for the quote 
 Lmao so the speedup was BC half the requests bounced BC the prompt was over the context limit 
 Cutting the output length by 60% gave me a 2x speedup.

A huge LLM application is turning unstructured data into structured data 
 Trump or Harris? 

Or does it even matter? 
Just Bitcoin? 

#asknostr 
 Fading the nostr consensus that trump would be better. I think Harris is long term better by being worse

Adversity creates strength or something.

extends the cheap SATs period and/or hastens the collapse 
 "O(n^3) won't be that bad, my input is small"

Micro plastic effects unknown

If you want to minimize (approximate order of importance):
1) rev osmosis filter for your house (avoid plastic bottles/tap water)
2) swap sea salt for rock salt
3) avoid microwaving any plastic
4) avoid nonstic pans
5) eat fiber
6) get sweaty occasionally
7) supplement sulphoriphane / eat cruciferous veg

 Lowkey think Harris winning would be better for btc BC she'd be worse for btc. I guess I'm anaccelerationnist now 
 Recent server mono+processor listings on eBay make a 4x3090 rig reasonable. 

Torn between more corn and this. 

Will likely go with the rig BC its a chance to learn more skills + its cyberpunk/sovereign AF

Allegedly can lend my hash-i mean flops to vast.ai for 60¢/hr which would be an ROI of like 6M

 Before I bought my first Bitcoin, the 58k gang told me it would never break 58k, said I was wasting my time.

I bought anyway. It hit 63k.

When it dropped back to 58k, they laughed again.

I bought more. It went to 64k. Silence.

The 58k gang warned me that holding past 63k was reckless, said I'd regret it.

We hit 65k. No regrets.

The opinions of the 58k gang are just reflections of their own self-imposed price ceilings. You can safely ignore them. 
 Eat shit 58k gang
