Isn't the hardware requirement to spin up your local model pretty significant?

Yeah, I get quite annoyed when people try to put political messages into the Bible that aren't there. There's a word for this (putting your own thoughts into the text rather than drawing the thoughts out of the text): eisegesis vs. exegesis

2 Fast 2 Murmurous

Very interesting. Though that distinctive AI sloppy tone of voice comes through loud and clear here haha

The pattern "it's not this, it's this", or "it's not just this, it's this" seems to be a favorite construction of the LLMs...

Interesting. I thought it was a pretty obscure fast food chain overall so was surprised it was in Singapore. I wonder what other less common chains are there.

One thing I wish the US had was Mos Burger.

I use Alby Hub Desktop. Super easy to use

My prediction is that we're moving towards the LaaS model. Life as a service.

Yep. Sad to see my dad fall for it, but he's got serious trump derangement syndrome

Jesus's primary concern when flipping the tables was that they turned the temple into a place of commerce rather than worship. It wasn't about fighting injustice (or at least, not the political or economic kind.) If Jesus came to fight political injustice, he would have fought against the Romans.

my dad loves Talarico

I don't know much about him. I'm hesitant. My gut tells me that the left is treating him as their "token Christian"

we used to call them prophets

have you tried it?

Murmurations 2: Eclectic Boogaloo

Murmurations the Third, Twice Removed

No one said he's not good at what he does.

IIRC there's a common historical theme in which the hegemon outsources the unpleasant tasks (like resource extraction and warfighting) to third-world cultures, while members of the hegemonic culture devote their time to more enjoyable pursuits, like food and entertainment.

But over time, this not only integrates the third world cultures into the production systems and power centers of the hegemon, but it also makes it so that the dominant culture becomes dependent on the third worlders, which eventually leads to the third world culture taking over the dominant culture. I think I read that this happened with Rome and the Germanic tribes, or something like that.

fwiw, I just tried selling some shares and succesfully had the payment sent to my connected lightning wallet.

Did they get sent to a connected lightning node?

I noticed that sometimes on predyx I get something sent to my node. At other times they (supposedly) show up in my predyx wallet? But I never actually checked. I should start journaling my wallet balance

I haven't even been checking. Maybe I should!

At least the weather is good /sarc
