I think a lot of people think I just sit on my couch, eat ramen and refuse to turn the AC on in the summer
FIRE doesn't look like that at all
I live better than 80% of the people that spend triple what I do
I am just very skilled at spending my money intentionally
I taught it to sing Wonderwall
Chimera looks up pronunciations in CMUdict, falls back to letter-to-sound rules, and turns the resulting sounds into timed gestures that it can reuse for each lyric.
The future is now
This is the part of a Saturn V launch most people skip the seconds before it moves.
The five engines don't all light at once. The center one starts first, then the outer ones follow in opposing pairs about 300 milliseconds apart, so the rocket isn't slammed with all that thrust in a single jolt. It stays clamped to the pad while the computers check that every engine is making full power. Only then do the hold-down arms let go.
Even the release is gentle. As it starts to rise, tapered pins get dragged through dies on the rocket, and that holds it back for a fraction of a second.
What gets me is how long it sits there burning. Roughly seven seconds of engine run time go by before it moves at all.

I just had my Grok Bot call a resort for me! The most mind-blowing part? When the automated menu picked up, Grok Bot pressed the numbers on its own and got through to a real person. 🤯
We're planning a trip and I had two questions: Is the waterpark included with a room? Can we use it on checkout day?
Here's how it went:
1️⃣ I told Grok Bot the questions and said keep it short. Questions only. No booking, no payment, no personal info.
2️⃣ It found the official number on Kalahari's own site.
3️⃣ It showed me who it was calling and why. Nothing dialed until I tapped Call.
4️⃣ An automated menu picked up. Grok Bot listened to the options, pressed the right number, and reached a real person at guest services.
5️⃣ It said it was a virtual assistant calling for me on a recorded line, asked both questions, and hung up politely.
The whole time, I watched a live transcript in my chat… the phone menu, every word from guest services, even the moment it pressed a number, all in real time. I could've ended the call or taken it over on my phone with one tap.
Stay tuned for more use cases!!
Both sides disclosed that the call was being recorded.
@w_s_bitcoin@nvk Man everyday I wish Bitcoin was private but it also understand why having it not private is somewhat of a feature.
UTXO management wouldn’t matter with private Bitcoin
realizing i might be part of the last pre-singularity generation.
it is so surreal to be in this razor-thin slice of time and humanity that gets to experience both extremes.
i’m 37 years old. i grew up with no computer, no internet, no tv. we played under the sodium street lamps. no phones, just library books. i remember memorizing entries in the encyclopedia britannica, then the 56k modem screech. i’ve gotten to witness this whole arc. a genuinely pre-digital childhood, and now whatever this is becoming.
it’s just so bizarre to hold all those memories and contrast them with the current state. now i speak into a slab of silicon and glass and it manifests code like water flowing down a hill. i commune with this alien intelligence on a daily basis. same head, same lifetime.
i increasingly feel like a three-dimensional being looking at this multidimensional, crystallized artifact of intelligence that is increasingly beyond my comprehension. i can interact with the little slice facing me, but have less and less intuition for the shape of the whole thing.
if i was positioning myself in a replay of the lead-up to what might be the most significant event in modern human history, i’m not sure i would choose any other years. old enough to remember what came before. young enough to have a lot of life left inside whatever comes next.
sama was talking about the excitement and the melancholy. a feeling of something ending. Cheeky Pint
it feels like we’re on the precipice of handing over the torch of intelligence to something nonhuman. it’s an extreme viewpoint, but it feels like we’re hurtling uncontrollably towards this singularity.
it doesn’t feel real. it probably won’t be a singular, definable moment, but a slow-motion event of gradual realization, with occasional shockwaves.
to quote a great scholar of our times.

@Jakob99788672@jordanBTCplz@lucien21m Multi-sig brings its own issues. For most people the added complexity is not worth the extra security.
But yes. Seems like the most secure is using several different key gen methods along with several different key signers.
@Jakob99788672@jordanBTCplz@lucien21m True.
There is no perfect solution.
That’s the world we live in.
An old laptop currently seems to be the best course of action though.
