I was honestly impressed with the speed and accuracy I was getting with Deepseek, llama, and Gemma on my 1660ti.
$100 used and it was seconds to get responses.
Just a guy shilling for gun ownership, tech privacy, and trans rights.
I’m open for chats on mastodon https://hachyderm.io/

Always looking for penpals!

I think Terry A Davis would have found god in chat GPT and could have figured out the API calls on TempleOS
Israel has a history of ostracising those they deem “cowards” in society.
Just look into how they remembered the Holocaust and how they treated the survivors.
I both hope those brave soldiers stay in Israel to lead a change and hope they don’t let the state crush them with the gleeful support of the fascist civilian population.
Dunno how big they are. Might be a technical disconnect between the PR person and the devs.
I can excuse a marketing person making this whoopsie, but a dev? Come on you 100% saw the copypasta
Of the lines I draw in my gun purchasing decisions (you’re right they’re all war profitiers), IWI and the like is the only one that I actively disuade people from.
That being said, the engineering history nerd in me is easily compelled to learn about design philosophies
I’m sure the people of Gaza are always excited to play the “counter terrorists” on Dust 2 as well.
It took watching a bunch of videos on Israeli weapons development before I learned who uses the fucking Negev
Makes sense. The government probably didn’t want to fund 2 games studios when 1 is fine.
Much easier for valve to ban the Russian one that most certainly wasn’t going to make any money for valve than the money printer that is COD. And it has the perk of never letting then reflect on their own past as part of the war propaganda engine
I wonder if steam considers this can evasion.
TBH, if it’s free I don’t care if the reviews are rigged so long as it’s not to hide that it’s a crypto miner or something. But when money is involved I care a lot.
I wouldn’t hate that. I’ve been meaning to try some AI extension to add to my VSCodium install to talk to my self hosted AI instance.
It would be fun to compare it to a de-microsoted extension
A plug-in for what?
And why isn’t a normal video generation app/site fine?
I also just swapped my monitor out after nearly 12 years with it.
I think ANYTHING you would have bought new would have looked awesome. Panel tech has advanced.
I wanted an apartment with a balcony but they’re all $500+ more a month in rent then I’m already paying.
I mean you can always use the web version of office for 'free" with a Microsoft account. There’s a 100% chance your paper gets used to train AI but still
Not gonna convince me to play overwatch this way
But I am happy for them
Well there’s all the problems then
Asking a AAA studio to make their game sub 128 GB AND optimize it in anyway is a tall ask
Do they even make disks with enough space for a modern game? Secondly, would a spinning disk be fast enough for it?
I feel like the only way for truly physical media in the AAA space to be a thing again is if people are willing to pay an extra $60+ for an external SSD that holds the game.
The biggest perk for me for a dedicated NAS is redundancy and hot swap ability.
It is inevitable that a few of your spinning disks will die and need to be replaced, a proper dedicated NAS box will let you pop out and swap that drive and then the NAS software will rebuild the array for you with no data loss.
Obviously you can do most all of this with a normal desktop, but it’s generally easier with the right hardware.
I custom built mine running Truenas which was way cheaper then a dedicated NAS, but also I’m an IT turbo nerd so I wanted to do the whole thing myself.
What do you think the odds are that some of these make it state side?
I am a fan of LLMs and what they can do, and as such have a server specifically for running AI models. However, I’ve been reading “Atlas of AI” by Kate Crawford and you’re right. So much of the data that they’re trained on is inherently harmful or was taken without consent. Even in the more ethical data sets it’s probably not great considering the sheer quantity of data needed to make even a simple LLM.
I still like using it for simple code generation (this is just a hobby to me so Vibe coding isn’t a problem in my scenario) and corporate tone policing. And I tell people non stop that it’s worthless outside of these use cases and maybe as a search engine, but I recommend Wikipedia as a better start almost Everytime.
