Not sure why’d you want to change the pretty translatable and neutral name of South Africa to the Greek name of Azania, but at least one positive I could see is appearing near the top of country dropdowns online 😂 Very unlikely to happen, though.

Where do the rational LLM users congregate? Also, the ones who are fighting cognitive atrophy? What are some fun things to do without the clanker on weekends? Software? Hardware? Crafting? What games are good? I’m thinking of building my first power amplifier circuit for my own QRP radio product.

What’s the psychological term for seeing AI-writing tropes everywhere even when there’s evidence it was actually written by a human? Am I seeing the perfect median clichés in all writing now? Make it stop.

Hail Mary is pretty intense. Now I have to read the book. I noted the proper/dilated time. I was like “wtf” you can’t, and then I was like “ohhh”.

1/ Bark is now a Lightning backend option in Alby Hub. Alby built the integration on the Bark SDK in record time, just days after our mainnet launch. You can now enable Lightning payments in your hub with no Lightning node, channels, or liquidity to manage.

1/ Wallet apps built on Bark have never done their own Lightning pathfinding: the Ark server works out the best path on their behalf. It works great, but some users want more control, or don't want to share destination data. New research from grubles explores an alternative.

if I could avoid intellectual atrophy, that would be great. In other news: today I spent too much time in the sun, tried to rest, now I’m contemplating everything that sucks about me.

Can we be past the hype, FUD, existential dread, and societal problem part of LLMs? When do we get to the “it’s a tool in the toolbelt” part? I want to write a long post on this, but it’s probably been milked so dry by now. I still have “feelings” though.
