given that he uses sock puppet accounts, as horrendous as his main is, can you imagine how horrible the shit he must spew on his sock puppets is?

there is such a thing as worse

you don’t actually need to fit the whole model in RAM at once: the 70b for example “requires” something like 120gb of VRAM, but i’m running it on my 64gb m1 mbp - it just starts to run a bit slower (still very usable; i reckon about a word per 300ms)

fun fact: australian power strips all have safety switches in them - not a fuse, and not on everything, but it covers most of the dumb things people do

literally doesn’t matter who they are. their strategy was to force kamala to exert pressure to stop the genocide. it failed… now palestine is even more fucked

congrats, there was a huge amount of people that told them it was risky. the risk didn’t pay off… now is the find out phase, and that is depressing as fuck

many people bear some of the responsibility… this latest escalation is at least in part on those people’s heads

they thought it was “the same” to have trump who gleefully says “let’s genocide so we can grab it for ourselves” rather than “please don’t”

just 1 really big asylum

if it was an accident, that’s almost as bad: either way they’re testing or developed some tool that has grouped lgbt and adult content together

rules for thee and not for me

it’d be interesting to see (without knowing whether this is actually already the case with most of the models scientists use) a model that looks at the predictions we’ve made, discoveries that have led to changes, and factored in the likely changes to come in the future… it seems our refinement of these models has often been “oops we didn’t think about this source” and it happens pretty regularly

perhaps, but Apples rosetta2 works great with crossover and games. valve just pulled proton out of nowhere: they might just decide to do the same with a hypothetical x86 translation layer

(although i have heard that rosetta is so good because apple made some fundamental additions to the silicone to make it more x86-like so that translation performance didn’t suffer too much, which valve couldn’t do)

technically? yes

but don’t act like it’d be the same

aesthetics, build quality, assurance that it’d all work smoothly, the whole experience just wouldn’t be the same

which is to say nothing about the fact that SteamOS doesn’t really work on hardware that’s dissimilar to the steamdeck… if they released a console, one would assume it would have higher specs

america has everything… and yes i do mean everything… that you have because the world (actually; the imperial core let’s go with that) allows america to have it because you’re relatively nice, you don’t force too much onto us that we don’t want, and you’re predictable

trump has just fucked all of that good will… this isn’t about canada: this is about you and the orange piss baby thinking that america is anything without us

you’re just not… your country is a fucking dumpster fire mate… health care, garbage… prison population, highest in the world… education, garbage… satisfaction with your govt, garbage… average happiness of your population, garbage…

so get the fuck over yourself because you are nothing without the world

YOU need the global community

the global community liked america

and that’s the reason bluesky is worth celebrating… sure, it’s not really distributed but the fact that it’s making concessions to look like it is means it’s far more open, and bridges to the real fediverse work… the second social media network becomes a lot more attractive when you can still interact with your family on the first: this is why my parents can still be on gmail and i can make better choices for myself… they’ll eventually come around, because they can switch and not worry about where their contacts are

yup! and this is exactly why it’s good for the fediverse more widely: we have bridges, so we can slowly entice people over… with twitter etc there’s no interoperability so we have a massive network effect hump to get over

it’s unfortunate that there has been a strong push to equate anti-israel sentiment with antisemitism… the side-effect of this is that the jewish community outside of israel is linked to israel for a lot of people

oh great! yeah i couldn’t load the article - the website seemed overloaded :(

in that case, totally agree! great idea!

yeah so that all makes sense. i think though that what that would mean is when they reshuffle and things wash out, people will end up with a higher salary and fewer benefits than they would have otherwise

that also makes it much easier for employees to evaluate new jobs directly on compensation rather that foggy benefits

yeah 100% agree. most of our resources go to china to be processed into the stuff you buy

i’ll buy shit loads of maple syrup and be real happy about it - as expensive as it is here 🥺
