       It's expensive to be poor. It's ironic but true. You get charges and fees for everything. Higher interest rates. Overdraft fees. Late fees. Having only enough to buy what you need right now instead of buying in bulk. Losing your job because you can't afford to get your car fixed. Losing your car because you don't have a job. Even your mental faculties are drained, as you are forced to continually eat low-nutrition foods, "sleep" in miserable conditions, and be exposed to toxins and lack of medical treatment. The lack of liquidity wipes you out. Life really does kick you while you're down.You can't tell someone trapped in that vicious cycle to "just" get a job or "just" make responsible decisions. Sometimes, no amount of good decision-making can stop the vortex sucking them down. So the next time you are tempted to place moral judgment on someone who lives in poverty, think twice.Signed, someone who has been both a Have and a Have-Not.

       What are your pain points, folks? Stuff that you hate doing or dealing with, or problems you can't find a good solution to? Stuff that other people might be frustrated with, too.I'm looking for a way to make myself valuable to other people, as a way to both help people and also earn an income to feed my family in the process.One thing I can do *really well* is create reliable software to automate rote tasks, generate financial/statistical/other reports, or calculate difficult solutions. Think it can't be done without LLMs? I might surprise you!Throw me a bone!Please boost for reach!#PainPoints#WishList#Automation#Reporting#ProblemSolving#FediHire #GetFediBHired #FediJob

       Please help! We need food money!#MutualAid#MutualAidRequestI was recently laid off *yet again*. The AI Jobpocalypse is continuing to wipe out the software development and ML engineering industries, making it extremely difficult to find employment.My wife got her first paycheck from Walmart Thursday, but we used all of it towards overdue bills already. She won't get paid for another week and a half. If anybody can help us out with food until then, we would be very grateful!Please boost for reach!https://paypal.me/AaronHosfordhttps://account.venmo.com/u/Aaron-Hosford-42

       Also, if you have job leads, please please shoot them my way! I have over 20 years of experience with Python and SQL, and almost as much in machine learning. I'm a very talented guy, but nobody seems to be hiring.#JobHunt#FediHired #GetFediHired#GetFediBHired

       @Stellar @soatok "Model Context Protocol"It's basically a mini language that LLMs can use to interact with external systems  in a standardized way. By standardizing it, they get around the need to train the language model spearately to use every new tool.In other words, the "Mundane Clown Possy" answer I just saw in response to the poll is pretty spot on.
