Christine will do whatever she's told - but make no mistake, she only listens to one person, so I have no doubt who this helps the most.  The ECB and the 21 national central banks of the euro area are paying a 2.25% interest rate on some €2.16 trillion worth of excess liquidity, resulting in outlays of around €48.7 billion per year, Reuters calculations show. Doubling mandatory reserves, which are not remunerated, from €173.56 billion would reduce the central banks' combined annual interest bill by nearly €4 billion. Given that she is (allegedly) leaving the position of the head of the ECB anyway, a $4 billion gift to the banks from a woman who has already been convicted in a serious case of only 400 million euros will give her a lot of favor in the future.

as you say, what a time to be alive.
oh also the fact it all this tech runs on my system that i basically built for games years ago: it also plays games like nobodys business too. i find that funny.
On a side note I came across a term recently Organiod intelligence and an hybrid form is literally just Terminator. There's a chance we would have a Robot apocalypse before a Nuclear apocalypse.

Actually, the gift is to the CENTRAL banks, not to the private banks. If the proposal passes, the private banks would hold less overnight liquidity with the ECB, so they would pocket less hassle-free interest.

Open Source models are increasingly becoming better and better when compared to the frontier models. The latest Ornith 1.0 release just blew me away at how things are developing with local LLM's.
im running the 20 gb version of that and it its so much better than what i played with even 6 months ago its stupid. How’s this compared to qwen? It thinks too much and it gets me pissed  , there’s an additional command to by pass thinking but avoided to prevent it from misbehaving.

People without a mind are still asking if it is the right time to buy Bitcoin.

It thinks too much and it gets me pissed  , there’s an additional command to by pass thinking but avoided to prevent it from misbehaving. Ornith based on qwen 3.5 with gemma4 is the better agentic model while qwen 3.6 both dense and moe are the better coders.

Welcome! 🤗 No offense to Buddy or Bob, but in the age of automation, AI, and agentic AI, something that requires human manual effort deserves a round of applause. 👏👏👏👏 😄 Nice taste! ₿ Bitcoin Trend - June 2026
Downward trend but that's temporary we know it. 📈 Historical Post Trend (5 Years)
Wow that's solid consistency of ~2500 post/month for 5 years. 📊 Correlation BTC Price ↔ Post VolumeFig. 5. Correlazione mensile tra variazione prezzo BTC e volume post Super!!! Trust me, I've always wanted to see how the post volume correlates with the BTC price. I'm really curious to find out whether the relationship is stronger than we all assume. But at one glance it looks like WO have its own class trend  🏆 Top Merit Receivers 📤 Top 10 Merit Senders 🏆 Top Posters 🏆 All-Time Top 25 Posters 🏅 All-Time Top 25 Merit Receivers

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to "non-custodial"

[edited out]
Dude. Calm down. I don't have the price always on my smartwatch's screen. I have to select it in the menu. Time, date, heart rate and battery charge are displayed, if i tap the display or turn my wrist. I don't want to expose my love for BTC to the public because of reasons. But it's way more comfortable this way, compared to wrestling out my smartphone of my trousers pocket, unlocking it, opening the chart view app (and so on, i suppose you are familiar with that kind of process). I have not considered viewing the price of bitcoin on my arm to have had been any major problem or even threat to my privacy in recent times. Perhaps I am not paranoid enough? Nonono, dude was thinking that my watch is constantly displaying (like) realtime BTC price in always-on-mode, so everybody could see it on my wrist, always. But it's not the case here. Well, the app can only update the price if the watch is connected to my smartphone. No biggie. I have not been using the "always on" feature, and it seems that my watch only shows what is on its face when I turn my wrist inward. Of course, I have around 8 different things on my watch, including the bitcoin price and also the time, but also it does not always update right away, so sometimes, I have to manually click on the bitcoin display to cause it to update, so then that would be more privacy revealing, to the extent that anyone might be viewing my watch while I am viewing it., but they would have to be relatively close to me and kind of at a similar angle to me, to the extent that anyone cares or that they know the difference between bitcoin and some other market that I could be looking at. Another thing might be who is your potential threat, and so if I might be around people who I might not want to know what I am looking at, then I might be more guarded, but even if I am out and about for many hours, I might want to get a quickie glance at the BTC price, especially if it might be in some kind of an active status. I recall sometimes being in a car, and then if I am in the front seat and I have my phone in some kind of a heads-up display, then anyone in the back could be looking at whatever screens I am looking at, yet maybe the passenger-side person in the front would not be able to see, unless they would be purposefully leaning over to the driver's side to be able to see. Some people are more snoopy than others too. I have had some people around me who are not very respectful to privacy, so that can be more annoying and incentivize more guarded ways of looking at data, whether on the phone or on the watch. The phone tends to be a more detailed interface, and the watch tends to be easier to keep private if the "always on" display is not on.

I'll start playing with self hosted models soon.
Is it true that free models are distillated from frontier models ?
