Yeah… I won’t even lie, I think at some point it’s for the best we hand the keys to society to the machines. Maybe not the current generation, but eventually 😂

It’s because the morons running the country don’t think that constitutional freedoms apply to non-citizens. No freedom of speech if your speech hurts their feelings. Fuckin aye

Our administration would rather people—not just gay people, anyone who is at risk of contracting HIV—get a preventable illness and die than provide for the constituents they’re supposed to represent

My Mac mini (32GB) can run 12B parameter models at around 13 tokens/sec, and my 3060 can achieve roughly double. However, both machines have a hard time keeping up with larger models. I'll have to look into some special-purpose models

I haven't been able to find a model that is both performant and useful on my machines (RTX 3060 12GB and M4 Mac mini), but I am open to suggestions! I know I want to use local LLMs more, but I feel that their utility is limited on consumer hardware

Great news! PNG has always been my image format of choice due to its relatively good compression and support for transparency.

Like others have said, the key to protecting the safety of children while also protecting the freedom of grown adults from enjoying a recreational drug is education. That means lifting legal barriers so that we may study the plant in academic and clinical settings.

I agree that sometimes in our effort to promote progressive legislation on cannabis, we paint a very pretty picture. But I think the risk profile is rather low. And much like with other legal recreational drugs like alcohol or tobacco, young adults need good mentors to equip them with the information and resources to explore responsibly. Because they will explore.

Your average “rich” American (millionaires) are likely no better equipped than the average person when it comes online tracking and fingerprinting. The ultra-wealthy (billionaires) own the platforms carrying out such tracking. If you’re talking about tracking by governmental groups, I don’t think anyone is exempt.

Dating and hookup apps are designed to be checked as frequently as possible, so that users can be shown advertisements or sold memberships. A great way to accomplish this is to play on people's insecurities. Do yourself a favor and leave the house every once in a while

It helps to be accustomed to cognitive dissonance

I have my Mac desktop configured to snap icons to a grid. However, for a while I've noticed that moving an icon causes them to snap to the upper-right corner of the screen, ignoring where I actually want them and overlapping existing icons. The only way around this seems to be going into Display Settings, changing any parameter such as Grid Size, and then moving the icons again. Has anyone else been experiencing this?

I'm trying to find a YouTube video of a stand-up routine that I loved, but I can't remember the name of the performer! Here's what I do remember. She had long brown hair and a voice that reminded me of Mickey Mouse. I believe the video was taken from one of those late-night shows. Her routine was about getting older and not wanting to date casually anymore. It was pretty raunchy too. Two punchlines I remember had to do with drinking c-m and claiming her biggest weakness or red flag was that her p-ssy is too tight. Thanks in advance!

I am interested in dual-booting a Linux distro (probably Ubuntu) on my 2019 MacBook Pro. Ideally, I would have a shared data partition so that I could access my documents from both OSes. Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to accomplish this?

UPDATE: created macOS, Ubuntu, and data partitions. Was able to mount and access data partition from both systems without any issues. As a bonus, Ubuntu let me replace the standard documents, photos, videos, etc. folders with symlinks to the data partition.

 

My partner and I bought a low-end 3D scanner on Amazon to create this visualizer for a song I wrote!

The scanner aided in created a 3D mesh and texture map, which we brought into Blender and added fluid simulations via the FLIP plugin.

The song was recorded in Logic Pro, featuring my childhood Yamaha Portasound PSS-270. The video was comped in Final Cut Pro.

I'd love to know what you all think :)

 

Does anyone here have a BOOX e-paper tablet? I'm a big fan of e-paper devices—I love my Pebble smartwatch, Kindle Paperwhite, and Light Phone II. I've been eyeing the Tab Ultra C for quite a while, and I am considering the pros and cons. Mostly, I intend to use it for browsing the web and maybe some light note taking and document writing.

UPDATE: After working my way down the entire software stack, I contacted the vendor of my USB-C port and requested a replacement. It did the trick...

 

"Nothing Chats, powered by Sunbird, allows you to directly message other phone users from your Nothing phone via blue bubbles."

I don't think this solves the problem, but it is a step in the right direction.

 

I recently acquired an Intel Compute Stick during a liquidation sale. Has anyone used one of these as a home server? I currently host UmbrelOS on a RPi 4, which works great, but I can't imagine what I would use the Compute Stick for...
