Agreed, this is a relatively simple "tool" as the LLM parlance goes. It's what Model Context Protocol (MCP) is designed to facilitate

To verify, the author should try the same prompts on a local LLM with no tools enabled and most likely the LLM will respond with some nonsense

My advice would be to treat investing in unique assets - like shares in one company or Cryptos - as gambling: only put in what you're willing to lose. Anything you can't afford to lose should be saved or put into index funds with lower risk and volatility.

You just cannot know what an asset will do in 6 months. You can have a really good guess, but at the end of the day it's still a guess. And that guessing is even more difficult when it's a non-productive asset like Bitcoin, because then you're just gambling on vibes. There isn't much logic to Bitcoin's price besides "what if" and FOMO.

So yes, if you can afford to lose the money, you can leave it in. But if that money going to zero overnight would impact your quality of life or ability to absorb unexpected expenditures, then liquidate.

And on a more personal note, you're probably better off having the drone you want than flipping a (digital) coin and hoping it's heads

This is something I think about a lot.

Part of me would love to go back and redo high school.or college and just be a better student, learn more, and flirt with girls more (although now that you mention it the age thing would make it weird, you're right). But I end up at the same conclusion - it wouldn't be worth not meeting and marrying my wife.

It'd be so difficult to meet her again (we met on Tinder) and to make it so she's interested in dating me. And then the relationship would be so one sided because I'd know every intimate detail of her past and she'd know nothing of mine.

So, I eventually come to the conclusion that nothing I could do in the past is worth risking her.

A couple options here: https://github.com/offa/android-foss?tab=readme-ov-file#-call-blocker--spam-filter

None of them are very big but they may be worth a try

Relatively new to Python so that's news to me.

Other languages I've used support assignment like that but I always avoid it, but they just used = so I'll give this walrus a try and see if the different syntax makes it any better in my mind

The answer is still to adopt. The dogs are coming either from a shelter or a mill and both are good sources for adoption.

The former means it's still giving a dog a home. It is still a dog that needs a home regardless of which country it originated from.

The latter seems completely nonsense if the German shelters are paying full price and still giving the dogs up for adoption at reasonable rates. They'd be losing a ton of money. And if they're taking the leftovers from the puppy mills for cheap or free, then those are still losses to the mills and are discouraging more breeding. Also, those are still dogs that need homes regardless of source. Just because a dog was born in a mill doesn't mean it deserves not to be adopted.

In either case the answer is still to get a dog from a shelter.

Arctis 7 was truly the best headset, I have three pairs at this point. None of them broken - all were purchased because the headset was so good I wanted one for the office and for my wife.

However, Steelseries seems deadset on making worse versions of the Arctis with every iteration. The 9 was altogether disappointing and they are really trying to force all the features like the chat mix into Sonar software instead. Really disappointing.

A Short History of Ireland by John Gibney

Paying a visit to Ireland and wanted to learn some of the history. It's a good book but definitely wish it included pre-1500s history, since it is a more Britain-centric view of Ireland, really. Starts when Britain really gets to colonizing

We do have a couple containers of cat grass I rotate in so that they can have some to eat, but like you said getting a "lawn" out of the grass is difficult. It's usually very large, thick seeds that don't disperse very evenly

Definitely make your own, if you can stomach the time. You can buy molds online for a cheap initial investment, then just water down some fruit juice.

You can also use real fruit if you don't mind a chunkier texture and own a food processor already.
