Do any of you have LLM’s downloaded and running locally on your own computers? Looking for recommendations on where to start with those. I’ve been meaning to for a while and the OpenAI stuff recently was a good reminder to get started. 🙃 idk if it matters for suggestions but the computer I’m using is an intel based Mac from 2019. Has enough space for it but not in the M chip area.

Twenty more items listed and I’ll be at 200 eBay listings :) slowly growing my inventory. Seems like I get more daily sales if I list daily too, but that could be just that I’m reaching a critical mass of searchable items.

Nostr be like: “what do centralized censoring social networks have that I don’t?!” The masses: “Easy to use video.”

Somewhere in a random marketing department: “what if we say the product has ai?”

Maybe if I write about nostr I’ll be forced to actually understand it and be able to use it without fear of exposing my private keys.

I use an iPhone and I’m wondering how do I sign into Nostr web applications with just the phone? I don’t wanna have to involve my laptop. Ideally, I don’t have to use Alby. I want to use my existing keys but nostore is gone, so what do I use in its place on an iPhone?

Is nostore gone?

We got a punching bag a few months ago, I set it up in the shop and no one was using it so yesterday I moved it into my room. I’m going to have to build up some wrist strength, a right hook just made my wrist pop in a concerning way 😅

Jujutsu Kaisen is good. Think I found a new way to procrastinate 😉

My kids recently tricked me into playing a Roblox game called Blox Fruits. Within two weeks I passed their progress and within three made it to level 350. I might have a problem.

Can we fast forward to when the Project Hail Mary movie comes out?

As I get closer to finishing importing all my trick videos from the past five years, I’m thinking about creating monthly compilation videos covering that entire span—maybe with a voiceover talking about the tricks, noting which ones I’d like to revisit or try again. It could be a good way to generate new YouTube content for a while. It moves away from short-form videos but still makes use of all the short-form content I created over the past five years.

I wonder who was the bigger freak, Hagrids’ dad or his mom?

One of my favorite scenes from The Day After Tomorrow is when they are arguing over which books they can and cannot burn to survive the incoming freeze, and the kid on the lower level goes: “Uh.. excuse me? you guys? Yeah, there’s a whole section on tax law down here that we can burn.”

Around February of 2020 my monthly folders labeled “yo-yo tricks” go from having 10-20 of my videos to hundreds. I guess that’s when I joined TikTok.

When I post short videos of yoyo tricks to my YouTube channel, they typically get thousands of views and a decent amount of likes. No comments though. And when I stop and I wait for them to drop off the month-long feed showing stats, my passive views on my long-form stuff like tutorials and freestyles, they get about a hundred views combined. But I'm more proud of the passive views coming in from search traffic and recommendations than I probably ever will be from getting some attention from people scrolling endlessly through entertaining shorts. I know this. I've stopped making short videos about a month ago. But I still would like to post that type of content in a long-form version. Perhaps I stand in front of my camera and record for an hour working on a new trick, or just exploring and seeing what I can stumble my way into. And maybe I talk a little bit here and there, or I do a voiceover after I've trimmed it down to the highlights. But either way, I know that I like that kind of stuff, and I think that it would do better than just hoping people watch my tutorials from seven or eight years ago, that I've gone back and re-uploaded since I made a new YouTube account.

I thought I might sit down and write out a few paragraphs about this. What do you think, any input? - Is it possible to choose not to judge yourself when you’re wallowing in self-pity or self-deprecation mode and you’re putting yourself down and beating yourself up? It would seem difficult at that time to stop doing that, but looking back at myself as a person who wants to do that these days, if I’ve done something wrong in the past and my subconscious bubbles it up into consciousness, I acknowledge it. I consider it and then I tell myself, while I might have been an asshole or an idiot back then, I’m not being that person anymore, so I don’t need to torture myself for my past mistakes anymore.

I wonder how the Starlink outage is an affecting various states utilizing it for their militaries. And if it was an accident caused internally or a malicious action externally?
