@NousResearch Nous not only dropping awesome updates on the daily, but one of the sickest chiptune tracks I’ve ever heard.

@rektmando @Pledditor HOW?! This dude looks like he going on 60, much less 40.

Good lord, if there’s any way to actually demonstrate she did this, she needs to be reported to Animal Services because this is NOT okay. The original sin was leaving the cat alone for the initial trip itself, and then she just compounds the animal cruelty deeper and deeper. Horrible, horrible person.

[Eduardo Moreno @EdTheOSINTer]

@Midnight_Captl Yeah that’s not really what Solara is. Solara is supposed to be an agent-first OS for devices; the badge is just a concept for a device form factor that the OS could run on. https://t.co/vSW4psmu81

@oft Yeah they literally added the remote server connection within 20 minutes of me installing the app to begin with, it was nuts.

[Eduardo Moreno @EdTheOSINTer]

@miha_nikolovski @Saboo_Shubham_ Nevermind, @Teknium seems to have literally committed the remote backend functionality in the period between me installing it an hour ago and just now, LOL. Connecting to remote Hermes installs is now in the app.

[Eduardo Moreno @EdTheOSINTer]

I don't think that natively exists yet in the desktop app. At least, I don't see a way to set it up; it installs Hermes Agent locally on install. However, since the Hermes API server is OpenAI-compatible, I think you can configure your remote install to expose a Hermes API server endpoint (https://t.co/9fc9nI6Zje), then in the desktop app, set up a custom API provider pointed at that API endpoint. That *should* technically work, but I'm not sure about all the other endpoints exposed by the API server for skill and tool discovery.

I can't imagine that natively connecting the desktop app to a remote instance isn't planned though!

@bkkray @ColorfulTones @Saboo_Shubham_ @Teknium No, the first link (https://t.co/hISz0OM9t4) goes to installers for the official desktop app; I literally just installed it. You can get to the same page from https://t.co/8MbwEkewXu and clicking "Desktop" in the top nav bar.

[Eduardo Moreno @EdTheOSINTer]

@ColorfulTones @Saboo_Shubham_ @Teknium Thank you! Some of the other desktop app devs seem to be intentionally confusing people. :(

@uncle_vitalik @DuvalMagic If it was lost recently, it could very well be a final (or close to it) version, given that Google typically announces the new Pixel devices in late summer.

@CarlaTaggarty @RosannaPansino "Jimmy" is MrBeast. His actual name is James "Jimmy" Donaldson. https://t.co/T1iCv3e8XV

The issue isn’t so much the fact that she paid off her credit card debt; as you said, that might even make financial sense. It’s the fact that she then went and bought a car (a depreciating asset) with the leftover money for some reason instead of putting the money back in her 401k.

[Eduardo Moreno @EdTheOSINTer]

401k contributions are made pre-tax and are taxed at withdrawal, because contributions weren’t taxed. The logic is that you tend to have a lower tax rate in retirement than when earning, so taxing at withdrawal means a lower tax paid. Roth 401k works in reverse; post-tax contributions that aren’t taxed at all at withdrawal.

@NbSoloman @claudeai Gemini 2.0? What is this, early 2025? /s

Omg it’s only been a year and change since Gemini 2.0 Pro?

[Eduardo Moreno @EdTheOSINTer]

@Jwf1776 @Pet_Rouge @RobinhoodApp I’ve literally been on the waitlist for two years. 😢

[Eduardo Moreno @EdTheOSINTer]

@LayoffAI These layoff posts from CEOs are becoming so generic and templatized that any attempt at sincerity (valid or otherwise) completely falls on deaf ears. I read three paragraphs in and I already knew what the rest of the letter was going to say, and damnit it, I was right.

[Eduardo Moreno @EdTheOSINTer]

I’ve been on the waitlist for 2.5 years, am already RH Gold, and have a fairly substantial chunk of my net worth on RH, but am still without card. Now that Coinbase supports stock transfers in, I ended up moving enough of my taxable investments from RH to Coinbase so that I get 4% back in BTC from my Coinbase One credit card, beating RH’s 3% rate.

[Eduardo Moreno @EdTheOSINTer]

He works for Meta, so any RSU grants vest over the course of the year and can be immediately sold for cash as they vest, so you can basically consider the full $300k as cash compensation (exclusive of market volatility in the Meta share price). When I worked there, I immediately sold any shares for cash immediately upon each quarterly vest.

[Eduardo Moreno @EdTheOSINTer]

What purpose does this serve? Even if the court ruled in his favor, he can’t do a dann thing with the wallets, seeing as he doesn’t have the keys. Anybody who does have the keys is still going to be able to move the funds out. Best he could do if the court ruled in his favor is claim any unauthorized funds movement is theft and pursue seizure if they hit a regulated exchange.

Regardless, how do you even claim a non-custodial wallet is abandoned?

@stas_paradigma 2.9% + $0.30 is the standard rate for domestic card transactions.

Stablecoin payments are a flat 1.5% fee, including machine (agentic) payments. A0
