just a joke 
 Now around 2 years and 5 months have passed. Imran Khan is still not back.
 
The military is keeping him hostage. 

I was and still am waiting for Imran Khan to come back as the Prime Minister.
Now, thanks to Allah, probably around 95% of Pakistan is waiting too.

 No, both have the same amount of languages. It was just a matter of layout. I was not sure which version would look better. I asked a LLM and it told me to pick the right version one.

 You probably want to train an AI model (text-to-speech, LLM, ...) and now want to tokenize Arabic letters. I did some tokenization, but it was in English and German, so I'm not sure if I can help here. The general idea is to get any non-numeric representation as a numeric representation. So, instead of having letters, smileys, or any kind of data representation, you want to find a number that represents the same meaning as the original representation.

For the Arabic language, you might be able to use ASCII, UTF, and so on as used in the blog. You might also be able to include an Arabic font. Another approach that I think would be a good alternative is to use an existing Arabic tokenizer. Have a look at Hugging Face. Coming up with your own tokenizer could be a good idea if you know what you're doing.

However, note that the quality of your LLM highly depends on your tokenizer. Thus, I would suggest going with an already existing Arabic tokenizer. Chances are that it's better than what a non-expert in this field can come up with.

I'm not sure if this has helped you, but for the moment, I cannot invest more time in other things. All the best, my friend. 
 I am inshallah about to write the script for my next video. I find it very strange that on Twitter and Co you find so many people suggesting they would be Zionists.

Well, hahahah, sorry I have to laugh. The reason for that is, I made a bit of research and it is funny how stupid the Israeli lobby sometime behaves. Chances are you already know the answer, but still I want to make a video about it 
 Hahahah, so now our Muslim people finally are getting famous. I mean they try to convey another message than that shown in the short clip. Still, it kinda counts? 
 This little girl is exceptional smart. Inshallah she will remember that only a small group of people can bring a lot of change and will indeed bring a good change.

 Haha, I'm not sure how this happened. The developer of the tool I used to demonstrate what AI says about Freedom for Palestine shared this video. However, I just checked, and 30 views came from external sources.

I know that there are many bots deployed by the #Israeli lobby, so I assume many of my viewers might not even be human. You can check for yourself by reading the comments. They are so absurd that I have to call them out.

This is the first time I'm labeling something as stupid so harshly. Usually, I try to understand where the miscommunication lies, but in this case, some of the comments are just really filled with stupidity.

 
 I have a question to the people of #Nostr and  @primal here? Is it possible for any government to shut down Nostr?

I mean, they can technically make #Bitcoin illegal. Then people who have no idea about world politics would even see you as a criminal.  
 One of the reason why I am asking:
nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszxthwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skctcpzamhxue69uhkzarvv9ejumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcyflj58 asked what Nostr would mean to them. There were so many people saying: Freedom. Powerful people don't want regular people to live in freedom. So one of the many natural consequences would be: try to shut down Nostr. 
 This is very strange. Does nobody have an answer to that very essential question? 
 I see. If you ever have the time, ability and capacity, feel free to make a video, blog or something else about. I would love to inshallah see it. The point is, I really appreciate #nostr. However, I do not think that it is that kind of freedom as many want to believe. 

Freedom is something that cannot be taken away from governments - or at least I would define freedom as such. 
 Describe Nostr in three words. 👇 
 I indeed feel more secure here than on other platforms. I think it is sad that people here do not talk that much about #Palestine, but that does not take away from feeling secure here 
 Love this one. Isn't is strange that people say, they would live in a democracy and today things would be better than in the past. Well, how come, so many people are here because they are searching for freedom. 

Also, I am a bit worried about a government shutting #Nostr down. If they cannot shut it down, you might become a criminal because you use Nostr.  
 I think the thunder generated too much heat. Maybe you should have added some rain effect too? 
 Let me post something here, so you inshallah get a new notification 
 Hahah, this is amazing. Appreciate you letting me know about it.  
 The Debate Killer: AI Exposes Truth About #Palestine's Struggle

The truth #AI isn't afraid to tell you

 I am not sure if he really is free? Just because he is now out of jail, does this mean, the ones who got him in jail in the first place are fine of him being actually be free?

Because of mainly corrupt world politics, I think he is not really free. He has to watch out what he says, where he goes and the same is true for his family. Remember, the US politicians invade entire countries and dictate what to do there. 

Also, you say it took him 14 years to be released. Why was he even in jail? Why did it take 14 whole years to get him seemingly out of it? The answers to these questions give hints about how Julian might have to live his life. 
 I like this response quite a bit. We Muslims say this like other would say hello to each other. You might have heard even non Arabs say: Asalamu aleikum, which means: peace be with you 
 Oh, sorry in my first response, I was not aware that you are the one in the picture with Julian. Please, do not get me wrong. I am an advocate of Julian's work. My intention was just to highlight the fact that he should never have been in jail. But because of such a long time he was forced to spent there, I do not believe, he is actually safe - at least for now 
 That's a very good question. However, there are people who can say more things than others. There are people whose life is more important than others. The president of US can start wars and still be free. There are others who try to stand up for what's factual justice and are forced to go to jail.

The one thing that really annoys me is that we are so many people and still, a few of them can do what ever they like. We clearly know that their actions are crimes and we were not able to do anything. In the case of Julian, it took 14 years to get him free. Why? 
 ohhh, wow, I am highly impressed or/and surprised. Thank you 
 Maybe it's just me not being able to use the search function properly, but could it be that people here on #nostr don't talk about Palestine?  
 Dude, while it is a bit funny, the closest thing that comes to kosher is our halal. 

Also, I from what I came to know, , Israelis are not really Jews. Real Jews, who read the Thorat are against Israel and stand for the freedom of Palestine.  
 Sorry, I don't understand?  
 This might be a valid theory. However my point was reading 📖 the holy scripture. I am reading the Quran. Allah mentions Musa as. more than any other prophet. So, as someone who reads the Quran, I know quite a bit about Musa. 

Because of my own knowledge about my beloved prophet Musa as and about the Thorat, I know that Jews who read the Thorat with a sound mind and a living heart, are against Zionists.

This is also confirmed by some of my research I did lately. I will inshallah make a video about it.  
 I don't know about that. If this would be true, it is very funny that the seemingly Jewish state Israel gets that much support by the seemingly Christians, the USA. 

Please note, I do not consider Israel as the state of Jews. Jews would not kill people, steal land and a lot of other crimes.  
 You mean the US empire and the united states of Israel?  
 Ahh, you are a Christian. I just had a look on your profile. I was thinking you would be from Israel.

I was a not confused, because we are having a chat and I was not attacked by you. Attacked by you for being a #muslim  
 Could you please spell it out for me? I am not sure of I am understanding things right here. 

Also, in the last message, I meant to say, I was confused, because you did not attacked my til yet. Sorry for the typos.  
 Actually I think the issue is not with Jews. I make a big distinction between Jews and Zionists. Zionists are people who use the religion of Jews to get protection for their terrible ideas. 

Jews, if they are literate in their scripture should be nice people.  
 Also, in Islam Jesus, we call him Isa as, the son of Mariam. Isa as is not dead. Allah has taken him up in the sky. He was one of the big prophets. Because of that people cannot kill him. 

So in my belief Jews have not killed him  
 The Quran says, follow the book. Do not follow your bloodline. Because of this, I highly assume the same thing is in the Thorat and in the Evangelium as well. 

But, I totally get your concern. Chances are that they do not care that much about their books. This is also the reason why they have changed it in the first place. 

However, a few of them, for sure can be believed to be good guys - inshallah  
 I don't know about what the Bible says. But wait a minute. Isn't the Bible the word of Jesus? If Jesus died, how did he said these things after his death? 


Also, man, I think, you are a born Christian. Maybe this is the reason why you don't like Islam that much. However I just can tell you, I really really love the Quran  
 Allah explains in the Quran that the kids of Jakub as (maybe you call him Jakob?) did a lot of messy things. So many that at one time a heavy mountain ⛰ was above their heads. They did mistakes over and over again. Even Musa as. couldn't take it anymore. They even worshipped a cow.

So yeah they did a lot of filthy stuff, but demonic... I don't know. By the way, we believe in the devil too.  
 I love Jesus. But I really find it strange to call him Jesus. I prefer to call him Isa as, the son of Mariam. 

I got my love for him through the Quran. Muslims in general have a deep love for their prophets. I also really really love Ibrahim saw (you may know him as Abraham). 

Thank you for sharing this personal story with me. However, for me there is only Allah, Allah and Allah. A life where I cannot see myself as a slave of my almighty Allah, is not a life that I want to live. 

We Muslims love having only God. Saying that Jesus somehow is more than a slave and prophet or Allah drives us nuts. We don't understand this. I tried and asked, but it does not make any sense to me. If you like this idea of trinity - your life, your decisions  
 Ohh that's heavy. Well, I as a Muslim would never say or assume that Allah would have taken a son or a daughter. He is too perfect for that, much above that. 

The need for a son is with humans. Please take a look at the two attached images. The first one is the second Surah. The second image is a very heavy ayat that challah highlight how offending the idea of Allah having a child is in Islam. 

Again, your life your decisions. I am not here to get you a Muslim. My goal is only to understand the Quran myself and talk about the tiny bits I came to understand

 The issue is a lot of people have no idea that Nostr exists. Also, people often just go along with the masses, not thinking for themselves.  
 If we’re friends and I don’t follow you here, please let me know 
 We are not friends, still I thought why not just reply here - maybe it is a bit funny. 
 I really think, I should read more in the Nostr chats. There is still soo much I have to learn about Bitcoin. 

Also because Nostr is not that famous as Twitter and co there are some helpful implications. Chances are higher not to be confronted by bots that try to suggest that there are so many Zionists in the world. But haha, let's see if a  "living" Zionist will reply here

 My first reaction, reading should be just fine. After seeing the images ... it really looks nice 
 Almost everything I see on twitter makes me mad, but I suppose that’s the point. 
 I had a hard time to describe how I feel about Twitter. It was negative, but still I was missing the words. I think it goes in the same direction as you described.

Also, it is really strange. Here on Nostr, I actually am not afraid of being banned because of what I want to say.  
 Scientists love graphs. They help to explain things - like you did here 
 It reminds me of this blue ice packs. When I was younger, I used to play football. After getting the injuries, this ice pack was used to cool things down.

 Clown world gonna clown.

Tune out.

It's all a distraction. 
 Wow, I love it. It is also sad, because so many people out there believe that they are actually living in a democracy. They believe that their vote or their opinion would have any value, that is, it would be heard. Way tooo many people, I would assume.

This small board might be the new way of being poetic. Having one short message that has significant meaning.

 Buy me a coffee? Testing PubPay? 
 I don't get that post. So are you asking for getting sats for a coffee or is PubPay a new service that you launched? 
 Can you post a link, please? I only find: https://wbslogistics.com/ 
 I am very open to new technology. Thus, I opened the link and initially, I was not understanding how this is supposed to work.

After a few seconds, I tried to log in. For the moment, registration does not seem to be possible, right? 
 Browser Extension: I added Alby, and it does not support any of my wallets that I have. Maybe I need to do some research here.

Amber: From what I could gather, Amber is something that can sign nostr events on Android devices. Also, here, I need to do some research to understand how and when to use these things.

Thank you for your quick responses
 
 Like the way how the announcement is made. Basically, we are doing it anyway - but feel free to provide some input, if you like. 
 Because of the horse, I think we Muslims cannot pray on it. Thus, my question, was it intended for people to pray on it? 
 Haha, nice I was born in the 90s, but still, there are some things I can remember too

 Maybe there will be a Word War 3 - I don't know. But how would you prepare for such an event?  
 From my point of view, if you can speak the language, you are assimilated well enough. Everything else should be optional: how you dress, the food you eat, your religion, and so on.

Basically, you just need to be able to communicate properly with others. Also, I would say that English does not need to be perfect all the time. If the person you are speaking with can understand you, that's good enough.

People might disagree with this. However, I believe in giving and getting enough freedom to be allowed to be an actual individual. 
 Mashallah, love this video. I think Bitcoin is more reliable than the current FIAT-system. Such videos help me to make my point
