metadata: spellbook.scale.com? free api, max length 4000 tokens temperature 0 2023-03-17 07:06:01 { "input": "Once upon a time," } in a small village nestled between the rolling hills and dense forests, there lived a young girl named Amara. She was a kind and gentle soul, always eager to help others and spread joy wherever she went. Amara lived with her loving parents and her younger brother, who looked up to her with great admiration. The village was a peaceful and close-knit community, where everyone knew each other and worked together to ensure the well-being of all. The villagers were skilled in various crafts, from pottery to weaving, and they traded their goods with neighboring villages. One day, while Amara was walking through the forest to gather berries for her family, she stumbled upon a small, injured bird. Its wing was broken, and it was unable to fly. Amara's heart went out to the poor creature, and she carefully picked it up and carried it back to her home. With her mother's help, Amara nursed the bird back to health, feeding it and tending to its broken wing. Over time, the bird grew stronger, and its wing healed. Amara and the bird formed a deep bond, and it would follow her wherever she went, perching on her shoulder and singing sweet melodies. One day, as Amara and the bird were walking through the village, they came across a group of children who were playing by the river. The children were trying to catch fish with their bare hands, but they were having little success. Amara, always eager to help, approached the children and offered to teach them a better way to catch fish. Using her knowledge of the river and the fish that lived there, Amara showed the children how to weave a simple net from the tall grasses that grew along the riverbank. With this net, the children were able to catch more fish than they ever had before, and they were overjoyed. Word of Amara's kindness and wisdom spread throughout the village, and soon, people from all walks of life were coming to her for advice and assistance. She helped the farmers improve their crops, the potters refine their techniques, and the weavers create more intricate patterns. As the years passed, Amara's reputation grew, and she became known far and wide as a wise and compassionate leader. The village prospered under her guidance, and the people were happy and content. One day, a traveler from a distant land arrived in the village, bearing news of a terrible drought that was plaguing his homeland. The people were suffering, and their crops were failing. The traveler had heard of Amara's wisdom and had come to seek her help. Amara, moved by the traveler's tale, decided to journey to the distant land to see if she could help the people there. Accompanied by her faithful bird and a small group of villagers, Amara set off on the long and arduous journey. When they finally arrived in the drought-stricken land, Amara was shocked by the devastation she saw. The fields were barren, the rivers were dry, and the people were weak and hungry. Determined to help, Amara set to work, teaching the people new farming techniques and helping them dig wells to find water. Slowly but surely, the land began to recover. The crops grew, the rivers flowed, and the people regained their strength. Amara's kindness and wisdom had saved the people from the terrible drought, and they were eternally grateful. As the years went by, Amara continued to travel from village to village, helping those in need and spreading her wisdom and compassion. Her faithful bird remained by her side, a constant reminder of the power of love and kindness. And so, the legend of Amara, the wise and gentle leader, was passed down through the generations, inspiring countless others to follow in her footsteps and make the world a better place. 55387 ms

Dear Madam Acting Superintendent: Reflecting this week, Ripple once again <https://www.law.com/radar/card/ripple-legal-chief-accuses-sec-of-playing-de…> shares concerning comments and approaches to respecting their Bitlicense award.

Dear Palantir Board of Directors: You have yet to respond to xNY.io’s February 8, 2022 memo concerning <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Oej5gM5wuftu68eVkXTR4wWqoHREP2zg3nwlH1H…> a reasonable request for the resignation of Mr. Peter Thiel from the Board of Directors of your esteemed organization. Making matters worse, Palantir’s Board of Directors failed to respond to xNY.io’s February 18, 2022 memo urging <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NMs-8HFD_Rrnkw4ePUhQSvJSGwhU70F9/view?usp=…> Palantir’s Board of Directors to act in resonance with the law. - Today’s correspondence <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cRuyS6IUS-8j8yKjOvs7Mx1V85zbMGfg6hyV6g2…> (memo attached) mints xNY.io’s overall concern of being victim to Palantir’s Board of Directors conspiracy to commit Computer Crimes and Securities Fraud. - xNY.io has made 185 highlights to the Prosecuting Computer Crimes Manual <https://drive.google.com/file/d/11tbgHgDg8qagomO-NBffvIFpxXKmBC3g/view?usp=…>, issued by the DOJ Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section Criminal Section. - xNY.io has made 85 highlights to the FDIC’s Office of Inspector General’s investigation <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mTHY9KMc6pK9T-brBhweEJlWfbka0fTg/view?usp=…> outlining Palantir’s Board of Director’s likely exploiting vulnerabilities in your system to conduct malicious cyber activities. - xNY.io now has logical concern of active Securities Fraud <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Securities_fraud> sponsored by Palantir’s Board of directors that may be a threat to xNY.io’s international enterprise (chart detail attached). Seemingly, Meta’s Board of Directors (FB) embody xNY.io’s similar, logical approach. How would you like to proceed? Warm regards, Gunnar Larson -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xNY.io> | Bank.org <http://Bank.org>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&u…> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovat…> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001 ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Gunnar Larson <g(a)xny.io> Date: Fri, Feb 18, 2022 at 3:45 PM Subject: Re: Imploration of Peter Thiel Resignation, Palantir Technologies Board of Directors To: <Investors(a)palantir.com>, <investor(a)fb.com> Cc: cypherpunks <cypherpunks(a)lists.cpunks.org> Dear Palantir Board Members: xNY.io seeks Palantir's immediate response on the extremely reasonable and overall logical request regarding Mr. Thiel, alleviating any co-conspiracy concerns of your directorate. We are tracking Palantir's Board now behind the reasonable 02/14/22 deadline at the expense of xNY.io (given our general perception of xNY.io related files being hosted on your platform). - Humbly, Palantir's Board may want to assure the United States that Palantir's Board is not sponsoring the next Cambridge Analytica. - Furthermore, xNY.io is designed <https://xny.io/whitepaper>to sidestep such unnecessary circumstances - xNY.io points to the New York Post's report <https://nypost.com/2021/08/25/fbi-palantir-glitch-allowed-unauthorized-acce…> on a "glitch" in Palantir's system allowing Cambridge Analytica type access to private data. *Make no mistake, it is not xNY.io's fault if Mr. Thiel is potentially sacrificing the purity of Palantir's Board.* What does Palantir have to lose in doing the right thing here? xNY.io further hints that it is not our overall problem if Palantir's Directorship wishes to self-destruct against scientific law <https://xny.io/> (aka modern logic). History provides the epic example <https://thecapital.io/article/directorates-who-discredit-truthful-witnesses…> of Enron and a cunning Board of Directors of misleaders, a team of flimflam artists who used sly rhetorical skills to bamboozle the public, turning night into day. In this conception, directorates tell stories only in order to seduce and beguile regulators who fall prey to the advocate’s star-crossed tricks. - Potentially best said by Senator John Mccain, “And the persons who ultimately are harmed by all of this, of course, is the average consumer, the average citizen, who has no knowledge, unless it paid attention to this hearing, of the extent of the manipulations that have been carried out by the largest financial institutions in America and, indeed, probably the world.” Forgive the efficient, yet candid locker room talk above. We are not saying Palantir's Board is crooked. But, you can imagine xNY.io's next correspondence should not be necessary.

Water.org Sustainability Funders Disrespect China
by Gunnar Larson 20 May '25

20 May '25

xNY.io recently compiled a Water.org Global Risk Assessment (below) a few years ago now. As true New York diplomats, xNY.io is absolutely required to be friendly innovators with the dignity and trail blazing, historic pioneering spirit of the e-CNY initiative. There is no association with xNY.io and e-CNY, however, we seem to share the ideals of to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life from regulatory arbitrage corruption. Water is life, for the human species. xNY.io, lucky in every way for our global marketplace position knows of a water assault on China. Given several factors, today as a disclosure technique we respect e-CNY outlining 'who may be a Water.org sustainability funder' ... So this hopefully will not affect xNY.io in the future. USDC and USDP are not our problem (people who know, know what this means). More research can be found here: https://chinapower.csis.org/china-water-security/ Water.org’s Key Institutional and Strategic Risks Water.org’s current risks and barriers to scale include concerns over misuse of loans, operational delays, fraud, error, and security, all of which undermine Water.org's objectives and mission. ● FRAUD: These deceptions often include manipulation of documents or the abuse of policies, procedures or office property. For example, in absence of a well-designed process for selection of a raw material supplier for the construction of toilets, operations staff can collude with dishonest suppliers and procure cheap, low-quality material at high rates, which could create infrastructure failures and lead to credit risk. ● ERROR: Errors are typically unintentional and result due to lack of staff capacity and training, rapid growth, limited technical resources, or an inadequate number of staff. Errors in judgement or incorrect interpretation of policies, procedures, documents, or cash transactions can create problems for an FI. For example, a branch manager might make an error in the appraisal of a WASH loan client if s/he has not received training on WASH lending. ● SECURITY: This refers to risk of cash or material theft. For example, for FIs that are involved in provision of construction materials, the storage of the materials and their delivery is a risk. ● INEFFICIENCY: Risk is created when there is low staff productivity or ineffective management leading to loss of efficiency. ● CREDIT RISK: An assessment of credit risk at Water.org investigated whether the credit policies and procedures are correctly followed and administered by the FI staff. This includes reviewing whether credit transactions are properly recorded and summarized in the account tracking system and presented in the financial and portfolio reports. For example, an FI in the Philippines had a loan product tenure of three months even though loan sizes were quite high. Clients who were assessed to be qualified for a loan of PHP 15,000 (US$340) ended up actually receiving nearly PHP 35,000 (US$793) over the course of a year, through multiple loan cycles. This flaw in the loan product design resulted in large-scale delinquency problems with clients in the third and fourth loan cycles Our Suggestion: Water.org 2.0, Blockchain and Energy Our research shows Water.org currently lacks developed, effective, accountable and transparent institutions reporting processes globally. Their published internal studies highlight FI corruption and bribery in all forms. Blockchain technology could help solve this, only implemented globally and monitored correctly. Most importantly, we strongly recommend Water.org executives should leverage blockchain and current partnerships, historically and radically innovating Water.org’s global scope to include solar energy in North Africa. ● Immediate Recommendation: Essential for Water.org’s global development reporting work to be organized and oriented in the same direction in order to focus on what really matters and ensure proper transparency and figures. Water.org has been working on the nieve, poor business assumption that goals can be achieved with enough political will, investment and action at all levels. ○ Integrated water resources reporting via Blockchain, include management smart contracts at all levels, including Water.org funds to FI, FI internal use of Water.org funds, client use of funds through to contractor ● Review Loan/Product Benefit: Water.org’s global executive team has not reflected the importance of complete sustainable development for their clients. Internal Data shows most Water.org wells/loan proceeds are ultimately lost, as the individual navigates life with unsolved energy and lack of access to basic economic/financial tools. ● Innovate Water.org’s Scope: Once defining clear and unified global standards, practices and reporting transparency on blockchain, eliminating current fiance transparency concerns ○ Microcredit water loans alone do not solve poverty (noted above) ○ Current UN research shows best poverty success advancement includes addressing three important dimensions simultaneously: i. Regular access to clean water/proper sanitation facilities ii. Access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy iii. Equal access to mobilized banking tools, insurance and microscred lending -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xNY.io> | Bank.org <http://Bank.org>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&u…> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovat…> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001

i’ve been using a gift tp25 for some years. it’s a special lenovo laptop edition that is similar to the t470 and t480. as the years have passed, it gets harder to find information on repairing this laptop online. last time or two ago i replaced the system board, i engaged a long list of substitute part numbers for system boards that would fit and boot. i haven’t found this list again. i originally made it by looking at simple commonalities on support.lenovo.com and ebay.com , but simple search terms do not return as many results now as they did before, and support.lenovo.com is only showing one system board now for my model number. i’m seeing these values in the bios atm: bios ver: N1QETA3W ec ver: N1QHT54W model: 20K70004US unit serial: PF12XKZP board serial: L1HF83M000D cpu: i7-7500u 2.7ghz uuid: 1f4bfcc-2c71-11b2-a85c-955ac813bb93 os license: SDK0J40697 oa3 id: 3305102936368 may have made copy mistakes the problem i have right now is that the system does not charge, instead emitting a pungent smell for some time after the charger is plugged in. i removed the bottom cover but

NY-DFS Superintendent Harris D&O Malpractice - HK Asylum AU Assange Paradox
by Gunnar Larson 20 Apr '25

20 Apr '25

Today, I drafted a creative monograph Christmas message for Asia Feminists. You see, Assange did not seek HK asylum because how the money ran. Ecuador is on the USD, so asylum has pass through insurance. Mr. Assange is now freed back in Australia this Christmas. NY and HK are the world's preeminent digital asset regulatory innovators. 2024 is wrapping up to xNY exhausting another NY regulator. The Lacewell to Harris saga continues... HK has been a jurisdiction for xNY's ambition all along. Disney HK has been a personal best for me to drive next to whilst in HK many moons now ago. Below is a love letter of sorts. There are mistakes and misspellings. Systematic racism is much like a booze crooze: A ship of fools. James, Harris and Larson are black. One is not an attorney. One is product of the United Negro College Fund. One is man. Singular, yet a Feminist. Below is a statistical monograph. See, Microsoft bought LinkedIn. Just like Melinda Gates had that King interview endorsement. To be between Microsoft and LinkedIn is a dream for someone like Gunnar Larson. Already a Gates Scholar you would think DOD Hoffman conflicts extending to BLOOMBERG would be too exotic to handle. ONE MILLION BLACK WOMEN was not mentioned in the Melinda Gates interview with King. Harris brand likeness recognition has impacted an election via Systematic racism. But, help is on the way. ATUCHUNG all spelling and grammar mistakes Below ... Anything said here beats Ron and JD in the HK crypto scene. -- xNY is looking to raise $100M for HK digital asset recovery of $1B. Here is the pitch to the one women who can shut me down on Christmas 🎄: ------ Ms. James, Honorable New York Attorney General: HALLELUJAH! Marking it in history, NY-DFS Superintendent Harris is a New York Directors' and Officers success story. This is a dramatic finish to 2024 considering FTX's founder imprisoned at Metropolitan across town as I write Attorney General James. Yes, while Superintendent Harris is likely culpable of STX/POX malpractice, she is not the first, considering her former boss, Ms. Lacewell holding a University of Miami law degree. Attorney General James, we have learned so much from our time with Ms. Lacewell and Cumo, the former Governor. However, xNY.io - Bank.org cannot be certain if the fate should be indifferent for Ms. Harris. Ms. James, the United Negro College Fund partnered with Bill and Melinda Gates to launch Gates Millennium Scholars in 2000. Gunnar Larson (me), Ms. James is one of Bill and Melinda Gates' Millennium Scholars, class of 2003. Ms. James, how does DFS Superintendent Malpractice act and operate like a distance derrivitive to ONE MILLION BLACK WOMEN, a Goldman Sachs program? How does the same relate to STX and the protocol POX? Ms. James, finally, how do STX interact with USD, AUD and HKD (derrivitive XXD*) to degradate the purity of Bitcoin? The software behind these systems extract revenue by mass segregation. POX's entire ecosystem is derived as a pyramid. POX then interacts between STX and Bitcoin to exploit the Bitcoin blockchain. New York’s BitLicense is the world's exemplary regulatory regime. Ms. James, Superintendent Harris is the BitLicense regulator of Bitcoin to the worl, according to NYMAG. Attorney General, no one can really foretell how much Superintendent Harris has banked by trading STX while DFS Superintendent. While only at DFS for a short time from Lacewell's resignation ... Harris' Malpractice can be traced to Hong Kong (HK) at OKX, a famous F1 trading house as sponsor. From HK, the OKX platform launched MIA Coin and NYCCoin. OKX potentially laundered STX proceeds from HK to Miami using POX. MIA Coin and NYCCoin were derrivitived in Miami, layering one POX instance ontop of another POX, a program resembling cascading windows. Ms. James, xNY.io is considering a $50M compliance failure claim against OKX in Hong Kong (HK), naming DFS' Harris as potential conspirator against xNY. Jurisdictionally, xNY would need to seek claim recovery in HK, or build a close OKX relationship otherwise. Respectfully, we do not aim to add insult to injury, things only get more complicated for Superintendent Harris with Goldman Sachs' sponsorships of STX in Miami. Harris knew POX tainted monies were sloshing Bitcoin Blockchain purity of STX in Miami. Proof of Miami's FTX Stadium is a STX success story, while Bitcoin purity waned from POX pyramids. Ms. Jams, to make matters more interesting, POX instances can be layered with mutually independent protocol settings. Segregation can be programmed using computer software simply explified by POX protocols. Attorney General James, xNY.io has University D&O research from China that references xNY.io's claim ambitions for HK recovery. Frankly, Ms. James you should ask Superintendent Harris for this D&O research paper, shared several times with Superintendent Harris. Meanwhile, Ms. James, today I contacted FinCEN and Treasury with new Malpracticee of Superintendent Harris fingerprints. Harris' close connections with Goldman Sachs perhaps further inquiry to you as Attorney General. You, Letitia James made history by history launching a fule-to-fire investigation of former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Ms. James, this may shock you: xNY will soon liaise with Mr. Cuomo for another xNY program at Penn Station dubbed 'Atuchung'. No kidding! Getting to the point of this email: As founder of xNY, I ask the Attorney General if Superintendent Harris' oversight has will to post a mega fine (100M+) to the DFS regulated intities culprit to ONE MILLION BLACK WOMEN and UNICAF initiatives. I hold a MSc in Digital Currency from Cyprus' UNIC. Ms. James, Goldman Sachs is an Africa investor in UNICAF. Friday, 13 December by 6:00am EST we demand DFS Superintendent Harris' recusal from litigation investment by Mr. Reid Hoffman. No Harris-Hoffman recusal will exasterbate xNY's ambition sto explore additional Malpractice line items in HK asset recovery. New York’s Attorney General is famous for asset innovation, and so are we at xNY.io. Ms. James, Harris' recusal would satisfy xNY's litigation investment conflict with Mr. Hoffman's funding of Adult Survivor's Protection Act litgation by current New York State Governor, Ms. Kathy Hochul. Goldman Sachs does not share xNY's ambitions. B12 and F1 fraud at Goldman Sachs has ripped unnecessary investment from xNY greater than the $1B in FTX legal waived in FTX's historic rise and fall. Ms. Harris' former firm represented FTX to bankruptcy. FTX's founder was imprisoned, with Ms. Harris as regulatory arbitrage loophole to FTX assets. xNY is now forced to pursue all OKX recovery options available in HK. xNY has been credited with exhausting all DFS Avenues with Superintendent Harris without Harris' Hoffman third party investment recusal. xNY will take this notarized recusal for HK third party exploration. xNY holds unique, rare and prudential HK standing. Privileged segregation at SDNY is a Harris conflict wrapped in POX straddling Hong Kong and New York's tri-state. Harris' Regulatory confidence in conflict is a basic Benzentine General's Problem.* xNY exhausted 2024 in SDNY vs HK recovery debate. Harris is no Firewall, w/ Hoffman recusal. DOD PI* SDNY, xNY is probably plausible in deniability to harming any animals in aforementioned. Bank.org is a champion for the North Atlantic Right Whale. A Caribbean winter whale, summering in the Atlantic's North famous feeding grounds. *AU, CY, HK are Bank.org HQ locations, outside Superintendent Harris' New York State oversight of United Nations Headquarters at 42nd and 1st in Manhattan. *UNODC does not share common AU, CY, NY judicial themes. However, UK, HK themes emerge that fit PI standards. *ONE MILLION BLACK WOMEN could be a Supreme Court case for white national equality. FTX could lobby rights for HK in sophisticated after the event derrivitive vehicle, option for world wide Syndication. 2025 UN Goals reasults out soon! xNY.io - Bank.org reserves all Interjurisdictional rights. -- Noel, to Attorney General Letitia James! -Gunnar Donald Arthur Peter Larson Founder, xNY.io BA. Journalism and International Relations, BOND, Australia MSc. Digital Currency, UNIC, Cyprus Find us online: http://www.xNY.io -- Post Scripture 1: BLOOMBERG has a documentary of FTX's founder imprisoned at New York's Metropolitan. xNY will seek to buy the FTX founder's claim against BLOOMBERG in the event defamation is proven of FTX's Caribbean Pent House. FTX has substantial injury prospect, only if BLOOMBERG had malicious intent to parallax footage of said Pent House. Post Scripture 2: POX Crimes Against Humanity, systematic computer sofware to segregated Bitcoin Blockchain performance, aka Crypto RICO syndicate. We cannot trust Harris after FTX, forced to flee to Asia Courts seeking justice (HK). Post Scripture 3: Business Casual prudential example. Fort Peter, too can see the 4th air show, for birthday girl America and Mom (SDNY-ID).
