could LLM custodians train models to be purposely inefficient so you have to use more tokens to get a desired result?

or is totally up to the prompter to craft efficient prompts?

Replying to @Ava ॐ

My partner is a web developer and designer and I’ve been trying to get him involved in Nostr - but as he was signing up and going through all the flow there is a lot of friction. How can we help? Are there any other developers involved with Nostr in the Southern California area. We would love to set up a meetup to talk it over. I operate on vibes and for some reason even though I am new here I feel compelled to help.

You may be impressed by the forceful *tone* of harding's post here. But I think the most important point is the slightly-less appreciated, nowadays, fact that Bitcoin is not just 'finite supply', but 'bypass a corrupt power system, fuck the banks'. Bitcoin 'grew out of' the era of Wikileaks, operation chokepoint, and of course '08 crisis up to '14 Cyprus confiscation event.

And if you struggle to resonate with this 'anti bank' position, despite how blatant it was with e.g. the Canadian trucker event, then I suggest you need to shake yourself up a bit and do *something* unusual for once, because the level of "normie" you have to be to not experience problems with banks is slowly reaching inhuman levels.

I fucking hate dealing with banks.

Most days if you ask me why I work on Bitcoin, I'll probably say something about eliminating the temptation for the state to print money, with all of its disastrous effects.

But every time I have to deal with a bank and must grovel to use my own fucking money, I feel the urge to hoist the black flag and start slitting throats. On days like today my work writing about Bitcoin technology is fueled entirely by rage and spite.

most people speak about 150
words per minute, and read 200 wpm.

most type about 50 wpm and listen around 150 wpm.

text-to-speech, and speech-to-text is the optimal interface that gets us closest to thinking velocity.

yet our thinking is mostly limited and constrained by our language.

Over the past year I've been very impressed by the work of @Start9. I love the work they have been doing to make owning your own cloud and therefore owning your own data not just affordable (free if you have a raspberry pi or able to run docker) but easy.

The past couple of days has been spent firing up a private nostr relay and playing around with llm using FreeGPT-2. Along with a host of other services.

This is what we need to be doing, hosting our own services in hardware that we own and control. Where we have the first and the last say on how our data is used if at all.

Self hosting IS resistance. Bitcoin IS wealth. Nostr IS freedom of speech.

We don't have to participate in the madness. Not participating is how we win.
