Finally read Slaughterhouse Five. I think I'll have to read the rest of Kurt's novels now (I generally stick to nonfiction). And so it goes.

I really wish the #bitcoin community had put their back into L2 like Eth did. It's a better foundation with comparatively nothing built on it. I hope the energy from this cycle flows in that direction more. Yes there is more crime and trash in a big city, but there's more opportunity and growth there too. 🤍

Oh 😏

It bothers me that the NSA knows my original Bitcoin keys, but I don't. Hey feds, make me a billionaire! Send me my keys.

Absolutely pulling my hair out. Learning new things when you've mastered others is hard and frustrating and annoying. So, I'm putting it down for the day. I'll watch a few videos on it before the next session and try again tomorrow. The expectation is of course I'll just be able to do it, it's easy to forget the time and fumbling around and learning that went into other skills that seem effortless now. 😮‍💨 Never stop learning. It's good for your brain and enriches your life.

Today is the day veterans remember why the state is illegitimate and what we are fighting for with technology like blockchain and decentralized networks. 🫡

Going deep #zapathon ⚡⚡⚡

Reading about @Edward Snowden joining Hot or Not and wake up the whole house laughing out loud. 🥲 It was simpler times.

Day 3 or so learning Blender. This is hard!

Whenever someone describes how LLMs aren't intelligence, they describe how human intelligence works except way better. Then they say we can't fully explain every output we are seeing and don't fully understand how it works. Kind of like human consciousness.🤷 Are public models there yet? Probably not, but they seem awfully close and private models are far better already. Who knows what the government has. Open open open is the way. Not corporate open output, but individual and collaborative open back end and full weights and training data. There are many out there, there is no stopping it. Embrace the future. 🫡

Beautiful day, minus the wildfire smoke. 70°

Beautiful night in WV. The Northern Lights dipped down as low as NC (visible with long exposure). I got a small glow, but missed the peak.

I'm learning Blender...it's a journey lol. My first attempt at trying to animate in 3D.
