There’s also the alternative “grills” vs. bouys" pair.

It’s hard to explain. A lot of it is about vibes and focus over the last several years.

1. There’s a popular suspicion that, rather than fixing issues, Dems allowed them to persist so they could campaign on them during an election year.
2. Dems’ platform in 2016 was: Hillary’s more competent. In 2020: Trump’s a menace. In 2024: Trump’s a menace. Meanwhile, people cared more about putting food on the table, not dying of the plague, and war crimes. Sure, welfare was part of Dems plans and platform, but it weren’t the core message.
3. Related to #2, people felt unheard, ignored, and taken for granted. We’ve been losing faith in a 2-party system, where neither side has to be good, they just have to threaten that the other side is worse. Well, wehn people feel they have nothing to lose, they put a bull in the china shop and hope they wind up on top when the dust settles.

Bernie’s being a bit harsh in saying Dems didn’t try. Republicans blocked their efforts. But there’s also a feeling that they didn’t care all that much. At the end of the day, they’re career politicians, padding their pockets with corporate donations while demanding starving citizens vote for them because the other guy would be somewhat less palatable. And I guess Trump’s honesty about being apathetic and money-grubbing is more appealing than Dems’ feigned innocence and solidarity.

No, it just goes to its extraction point! …somehow.

For LLMs, I’ve had really good results running Llama 3 in the Open Web UI docker container on a Nvidia Titan X (12GB VRAM).

For image generation tho, I agree more VRAM is better, but the algorithms still struggle with large image dimensions, ao you wind up needing to start small and iterarively upscale, which afaik works ok on weaker GPUs, but will gake problems. (I’ve been using the Automatic 1111 mode of the Stable Diffusion Web UI docker project.)

I’m on thumbs so I don’t have the links to the git repos atm, but you basically clone them and run the docker compose files. The readmes are pretty good!

Don’t bee that way!

A cluster duck, if you will.

Some servers have a c/NoStupidQuestions

I cried watching Measure of a Man. It’s a gift to humanity. But Ad Astra Per Aspera clearly overtakes it imo. It doesn’t ask just about the implications of the law, but about what it - and society, and its constituents - should aspire to be. It’s less about military codes and an individual’s selfishness (Maddox), telling a more universally applicable story still firmly entrenched in Trek lore.

By that logic, I should take it up with the delivery guy; both he and the reseller simply passed-through a sealed product.

Ah yes, I must’ve used ChatGPT to generate the photos of it being sold in a sealed box. And the ebay account listing. And the receipt.

I could just make up a receipt from an authorized reseller. What kinda proof is good enough? Do these items degrade in a sealed box? If so, why track the warranty from resale date instead of manufacturing date? If not, photo evidence of a sealed box on sale should be sufficient imo.

The reality is, this sort of resale is common, is hardly more risky than with authorized resellers, and deserves greater consumer protections.

Passion. The people here care enough to have not only left Reddit, but to have made a new community here.

Crazy to think. But I’ll be damned if it isn’t still cool.

Shout out to Touhou.

I’m on a crusade to call them “lemlets”.

Can we call communities “lemlets?”
