Cryptocurrency: Prometheum Exchange Trojan Horse SEC Democrats

https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/06/15/crypto-lobbyists-ask-sec-for-i… Prometheum is a Legal Trojan Horse to trick the public into buying and adopting in pointless GocBankCorp Fiat Shitcoins including CBDC and their Stablecoins. And to provide the legal precedent needed to kill all other exchanges and real OG cryptos. Again, unless it's real OG crypto, it's just another Fiat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmbYWRMu9c8 Prometheum Trojan Horse Congress v Aaron Kaplan Prometheum Trojan Horse... Leviathan News https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI_ZV2Tq4to Prometheum Trojan Horse Prometheum - The Governments Trojan Horse for the Crypto Industry The Government is trying to set up a Shell company to circumvent their power struggle with the Crypto Industry. Bret and Uncle Dan host Crypto and Cash on... https://www.sec.gov/oiea/investor-alerts-and-bulletins/exercise-caution-cry… That same day, Prometheum announced that they had received approval as a special purpose broker-dealer (“SPBD”) for digital asset securities. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230523005313/en/Prometheum-Ember-C… https://twitter.com/DigPerspectives/status/1669687853352140800 This guy may just be the new #SBF_FTX #SEC #TrojanHorse #Prometheum. Why did the #SEC award Prometheum with SPBD (Special Purpose Broker-Dealer) License knowing it is a #China #CCP backed Company? Our country is on the attack from the inside. https://twitter.com/MMark_2023/status/1669154837630689280 @CaitlinLong_ Prometheum seems to be a Trojan horse but doesn't know exactly what they do and how it works Promethium Exchange is the only registered exchange, it is filled with former SEC Govt Pols Lawyers Lobbyists and Corp staff, and it has sold precisely nothing. Because when you "come in and get 'registered'", you can only sell "registered securities". Which means NO Bitcoin, NO Ethereum, NO distributed P2P non-Corporate Nameless-Dev privacy Coin / Token / DeFi at all, none of it, NONE, period. There is absolutely ZERO point to a registered corporate foundation stable CBDC coin etc, because they are all ultimately NO BETTER than worthless GovCorp controlled devalued stolen robbed extorted inflated and censored Fiat in the end. True private p2p cryptocurrencies solve the Fiat and Corp problem. And destroy the sorry regulators in the process. The only thing exchanges should do is open their own books operations contracts assets liabilities etc to transparency, provide segregated allocated non-rehypothecated custody and insurance choices for those who want it, accurately advertise for inspection any restrictions against market makers influence bots etc, and describe all coins and their metrics accurately, etc. Then let the market choose which succeed and fail.

greg sent me this and i'm encouraging my habit of cc'ing the list greg speaks kindly below, and discusses the bouncing. i'm surprised that cock.li is bouncing. it's silly we are all using gmail. it would be funny if the bounces were all to my own addresses. O_O one idea is sturdier channel, but of course it's all quite silly on my end On 9/29/23, Greg Newby <gbnewby(a)petascale.org> wrote: > Hi Karl.

[ot][ml] FUSE Git_LFS mount huggingface models
by Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many 27 Sep '23

27 Sep '23

I made this bash script while trying to do other minimally-related things. https://github.com/xloem/httpfs_lm # httpfs-lm Load Git-LFS files without using disk space. This quick batch script clones Git-LFS repositories from https://huggingface.co and uses https://github.com/excitoon/httpfs to mount the Git-LFS files via the network with FUSE, without ever writing them to disk. This makes it easy to clone and use models without consuming disk space for them. Caveats: - Bytes will be retrieved from the network on every read, so repeated loading is just as slow as initial loading. - There is presently no way to unmount the files. I use `ps -Af | grep httpfs` and sigkill all the listed process ids. - A new mounted filesystem and two processes are constructed for every Git-LFS file. - I have not tested this much, and used it with a tiny model. Example: ``` $ ./httpfs_lm.bash cerebras/btlm-3b-8k-base@main Cloning into 'cerebras_btlm-3b-8k-base_main'... remote: Enumerating objects: 87, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (60/60), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (60/60), done. remote: Total 87 (delta 27), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 27 Unpacking objects: 100% (87/87), 2.71 MiB | 9.20 MiB/s, done. fatal: a branch named 'main' already exists branch 'main' set up to track 'origin/main'. Already up to date. Mounting cerebras_btlm-3b-8k-base_main/pytorch_model.bin .. Got 1 parts. https://huggingface.co/cerebras/btlm-3b-8k-base/resolve/main/pytorch_model.… 4.9G ... cerebras_btlm-3b-8k-base_main/pytorch_model.bin -> /tmp/tmp0y3337k4/pytorch_model.bin https://huggingface.co/cerebras/btlm-3b-8k-base mounted at cerebras_btlm-3b-8k-base_main ``` Extending this script to handle Git-LFS repositories on other hosts would just mean ensuring the URL to the large files is correct. For example, for GitHub I think `/resolve/` would simply be changed to `/raw/` in the value assigned to `httpfspath` in the script.
