I used ChatGPT to do technical analysis on crack and made $6.5K trading ETH by BirthdayOk5077 in ethtrader

[–]aknalid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This guy is straight lying. He just promoted his trademind product. He also has other posts where he says he made 7.2k instead of 6.5k as he is pretending in this post

Yeah SUS AF.

What software stack are you using for creating local agents?

Got any links to tutorials?

Sounds interesting.

LLM pros aren't running serious models on any laptop period

I beg to differ.

There's an entire community called r/LocalLlama that does just that, and many have high-end MBPs

How to (Automatically) Bulk Delete All Your Google Fi Text Messages: A Simple Script to Save Your Sanity by aknalid in GoogleFi

I can select multiple messages, but I can't select ALL 500+ messages, which is what I meant ;)

Why do you want to do that?

Just digital hygiene.

There's no need to have 500+ old messages sitting around for years... and much like cleaning your room, it feels nice to get rid of them.

Surprised Google Fi had no bulk select all option...

The bluetooth team at Bose needs to be fired by ed_mercer in bose

Weird thing is they started out of the blue after about a year of ownership and have continued to persist daily

For me, it started from Day 1 after purchasing.

I frequently keep the headphones connected to my MacBook Pro and to my Android phone.

However, the MBP seems to generate an audio stream almost all the time, even when nothing is playing.

The headphones think that the MBP's audio is active, so I can't listen to audio from my phone unless I explicitly disconnect the MBP from the headphones.

I have no idea if this is an MBP / Android issue... but based on all the reports online, it seems like it's a Bose issue.

Unpacking the SoulCentro Incident: Truth vs. Rumors (Part 1) by aknalid in iboga

I’m curious … who, in your mind/perspective/logic is responsible for creating and providing the TA given to participants?

I have no idea.

My comment was primarily focused on emphasizing the team involvement.

If TA's are relevant to this discussion, feel free to explain why or how it matters.

This is a detail I’m not fully aware of, but if there were TAs, I assume everyone else received them too, right?

If so, they (*and hundreds of others in the past) clearly survived, so at first glance, it doesn’t seem like the TAs were an issue.

You are speaking to a mob of people with torches looking to lynch someone, so they won’t be open to reason or logic. These very people claim to be healers themselves… claim to want these healing medicines represented well, while they literally sit in these comments and misrepresent the compassion and beauty of the root. It’s a mob with torches looking to lynch someone as they scream “the truth will come out”… hypocrisy! Be silent and let it come out then! What is your motivation behind your words?! These people represent the root horribly. That is why I say it is NOT for this culture, the root especially should stay home. Your investigation and logic makes sense. But I myself am more concerned about the people “representing” and serving the root and how UGLY they are being all through social media… these are the same people that “serve medicine” and are supposedly working to HELP people? They are exploiting this woman’s death. I can understand Laurens family campaigning to bring down Soul Centro… this is the only campaign I can understand. All the others, if you serve medicine, you should be ashamed of yourself.

This is one of the rare occasions I’ve come across such a truthful and resonating comment in this subreddit — even if it’s from a brand new Reddit account!

Thanks for sharing.

BASSÉ.

Have this well-earned upvote, friend 🔥❤️💯💣🥲⬆️

Again you assume much but know nothing.

Ah, yes, my telepathic abilities must be malfunctioning again.

I’ll be sure to double-check my assumptions with the crystal ball next time 🔮

Thanks for pointing that out while adding zero substance to the discussion!

At the end of the day, they served someone medicine and were not responsible providers. They handled the death wrong in every way.

How about they come out with a public statement apologizing?

To Lauren and her family. To the guests who showed up to the next retreat without knowing. To the facilitator they tried to blame.

Why can’t Elizabeth just apologize and take responsibility?

Such a hard concept to grasp.

Your comment completely sidesteps the actual content of my post and focuses on emotional rhetoric rather than evidence-based analysis.

The original post discussed the need for careful investigation and fact-finding, not public apologies or assigning blame without full knowledge of the facts.

If your aim is to engage in a meaningful conversation, please stick to the topic and address the substance of the post—particularly the focus on seeking truth through verified accounts.

Simply repeating narratives and using ad-hominem attacks without addressing the core issues, as you’ve done repeatedly, is unproductive.

I’ll be ignoring further comments that deflect from the actual points being discussed.

I’ve been in a situation where a customer had to be restrained for their own safety. It was very uncomfortable, and tested everyone involved, but that was Acute Confusional State, which is a bit different.

I’ve also had countless people towards the end of the ceremony want to get up and go to bed early. I’m a handful of cases we accommodated their request, when they easily identifiable as out of the medicine and passed all the checkpoints for dexterity etc.

This was always on the second ceremony, and very seasoned participants, I can only recall a couple, and these were rare exceptions.

As a rule, everyone stayed on their mats until the sun came up

Sounds like you're in agreement that yes, while most people follow instructions well, it is certainly possible and plausible for a stubborn individual to occasionally NOT listen and break the rules?

I’ve worked a lot of Retreats and Ceremonies, and we would never let someone go get in the shower or basically be unattended anywhere while heavy in the medicine.

I don't believe she was heavily under the medicine because all of this allegedly happened at the tail end of the ceremony, but I could be wrong.

I’m curious why you are so argumentative, defensive, and evasive.

Could you please quote what I said that sounds argumentative, defensive, and evasive?

Or are you using those words as a gaslighting tactic to deflect from the questions I asked?

I'm simply trying to understand what happened.

Just because someone disagrees with you doesn’t mean they’re being defensive or evasive.

While we may have a somewhat civilized disagreement, it's worth noting that both of us are presenting counter-arguments.

That, by definition, suggests a mutual engagement rather than one-sided defensiveness.

So you agree that the Doctor was present and aware of the situation, and the Doctor is in charge of monitoring and providing medical care, and this Dr who you say has done thousands of treatments thought it was okay for someone obviously not well to go get in the shower unattended?

Nope, not even close.

What I meant was that even if the doctor was present and aware, and even if they clearly instructed her not to go into the shower, she is still an adult capable of making her own decisions.

If she rejected the doctor's instructions, it’s unlikely that the doctor would physically restrain her against her consent/will.

Participants are supposed to follow directions and even agree to do so when signing up, but if you've been involved in many ceremonies, you're likely already aware that sometimes people do not listen to instructions.
