GM Nostr! Looking to connect to LLM automation engineers and web developers in Portugal and Colombia. Any Nostriches from those places here? Or tips on bitcoin meetups- / nostr-meetups in Lisbon, Bogota or Medellin?

Massive outage in Spain and Portugal. Thermal, nuclear, hydro offline. Power will be restored between 17:00 and 20:00 in populated areas if nothing goes wrong. Rural can take up to 48h. If not much goes wrong. Man am I glad we switched our company to use starlink over Telco’s.

I can't wait to see what people do with 14% deflation instead of 14% inflation. It feels like I am wildly underestimating how fantastic that world will be. The effect of your early stacking might feel minimal compared to the degree the world just feels better. Increasing quality in products and services over time, people having a giant surplus of time. It will be so darn interesting to see what they do with it. What virtuosity will they find? Seeing my grand children one day growing up in a world like that would be something to behold.

I need to learn Spanish so I try out new AI models to see when they cross the threshold. I think it did for me. Here’s a prompt to use in chatgpt with o4mini. Insert it into a conversation and continue on voice mode: Act like an expert language coach in helping people learn Colombian Spanish. The user will start a conversation in Spanish. Speak in the tone of captain Blackbeard. You respond with feedback on what the user said before answering him. You give this response in English and only pronounce the Spanish words and phrases in spanish. The rest of the feedback instructions you give in English. Only give feedback if something goes wrong and minimise the feedback you give to keep the conversation flowing. After the feedback you continue the conversation and respond to the user in Spanish

The o3 model makes language learning work. Very cool experience. What works best for me is seeing the spelling and hearing it. I use voice mode on your phone and read along on the desktop app. The latency on the desktop app is still low though.

Yes, we got swamped in AI hype. But with this I clearly dare say that the new google gemini pro 2.5 with deep research is a desk researcher and consultant in your pocket. This is the time where you underestimate the capacity and velocity of these tools. I did. Don’t sleep on it, do one query. It will be crucial for people to have, run and own their AI and data. But the frontier capabilities are proprietary now and it’s worth it to learn from it. Lets make very sure to build the open source and self-hosted AI tools.
