Dream Together is a little side project I've been dabbling with over the past few weeks. It's been a really fun journey learning about local ML and breath of fresh air to think about something different. The project started with me tinkering with local image diffusion models on my macbook. It was interesting enough for a crude website where a handful of contributors could enter a thought every hour, which my macbook would pick up and generate a photo from. Then I dove into audio, learning about all kinds of folk instruments and ML approaches to both generation and aesthetic judgement. Eventua… Related

Not having much luck with either of them to be honest. I can see lots of #meshtastic nodes from my home, but can't reliably communicate with any of them, and public channel is mostly silent. Not enough #meshcore coverage in my area for a fair try. Anyone else meshing in Portland? Related

I thought I'd be at least helpful as test subject for their protocols, but it turned out to be much more: my life has been semi-transformed, in the form of maybe a 50% boost in all areas of life. It's pretty big. So now I am encouraging any friends who are men friends in the 45+ age group to consider learning more about this stuff, and to make sure their next blood test includes a… Quoting @Camp4 There’s a lot of noise and misinformation out there about testosterone.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
