On top of that, so many people forget it’s April 1st, and actually believe it

Probably be a recreational pilot, like one of my friends did training for. Like sure, I love my deep interests in tech, psychology and gaming, but damn I wanna fly a light aircraft.

Actually, I agree. And so far, small local models are really solid, and can punch above its weight even when compared to frontier models.

I believe what I meant when I said I doubted it was since these AI corpos seemingly give no indication that local is an option, so most people would think they can only access an LLM through the web. This would bolster the SaaS ecosystem dominating over local AI, although local will keep increasingly growing as a more favourable option.

Although I do agree that the industry will shift from being server based to PC based inference as well, I don’t see that shift being large enough to make these companies change their training paradigms to include telemetry from local AI, but I’m sure some will.

I doubt it, but honesty, many systems can do inference pretty well, like how I ran the MLX version of Qwen 3 4b with a DuckDuckGo search RAG, and used it to ask quick questions and verify some simple things, running on a MacBook Air m2 16gb, and barely made a dent in the RAM utilisation or SoC, and this also goes for my much less powerful machines, like even a galaxy a20, with 3gb of memory and a low spec octacore exynos, can run small models really well, although the quantisation needs to be a bit strict.

This but I’m Australian and it’s called “Reparations for Pine Gap”

Eh, I’d say it’s rad-ish.

I’d love this to work, but unfortunately it seems the nature of war is more to act as a collective burden/punishment instead of actual dispute resolution. I guess it’s just a shitty way to have a temper tantrum that coincidentally involves countless millions of citizens who never wanted war in the first place on all sides.

yeah happened around that time

When I was in public high school last year, the boys toilets were horrid, someone spilled baby oil all over the place for some reason, people would rip off doors, smash the toilets, make wall smear murals, leave their CO2 canisters everywhere (which was what they’d get high off of, odd choice but an interesting one I suppose), and of course, piss literally anywhere. I mean, hey, at least the massive mirror was completely intact somehow…

I agree on that front, the engineering of these bins has gotta be a big factor in the cost, although there has been government and union corruption recently, which would’ve ballooned the cost a little, but I’m not sure by how much.

what I don’t understand however is why they chose to do a machete amnesty program rather than anything else, such as improving rehabilitative justice, and removing the endless crime loophole caused by bailouts (which tbf is being acted on currently,) for example.

Edit: now that I think of it, its probably since the government might want free credit for “solving the crime epidemic”, even though they’re mostly half solutions

This could never happen where I live, the government decided to spend 13 million dollars on 30 something machete bins so that everyone, apart from murderers who use machetes (who won’t actually care about the amnesty), will be made to surrender their machetes.

Ultra mega hyperfixating on one very specific piece of technology for days on end, then burning out lmao

We should all explore more, not stay stuck in a bubble of 6 or so megacorp websites that take most of the worlds traffic.

The internet is distributed, with billions of websites that are all unique.

Even if it’s difficult to find new websites to look at, then choose a different internet medium such as dark net browsers such as tor and i2p to explore the more privacy respecting web, or on the lighter side, go for geminispace or gopher browsers like Lagrange to explore the un-corporatised early internet style web.

It’s hard to explore when you don’t know where to look.

The algorithms in these social media services don’t care about you actually wanting to watch the video or see the content in general, instead they hyperfixate on if you took 0.02 seconds longer before scrolling to the next one compared to the previous scrolls, to determine what should be shown.

For example, if your interests are exclusively in random gadgets and trinkets for example, but then it shows you a video of an onlyfans promotion, you may accidentally pause in confusion, then scroll, unknowingly triggering the algorithm to keep showing you onlyfans promotions despite you not wanting that.

And it’s the same if it’s offensive or triggering, the algorithm decides to keep showing you such content so it can stun you into staying in the app longer.

This is why I’ve decided to outsource my social media use to lemmy and geminispace BBS boards, because sure instagram can be enjoyable a lot of the time, but if you use it excessively, it’s damaging.

Also, pro tip: if you don’t use Insta for a month or so, it decides to show you the best content possible to try getting you hooked again, but once you get to a video which isn’t awfully enjoyable, close it and forget about it for another month. Mileage may vary but it works for me somehow, even if I’m likely to be AuDHD

Soooo, the metaverse paid plots? I swear, every company with even an inkling of a 3d environment now just wants to “build” and sell worthless plots as if it’s real land, and literally nobody who uses these actually fucking asked.

I hate the cybertruck, but I think it’s chassis modularity is really neat, they just cut a predefined line in the chassis, then drop in a replacement section, although I’m not sure if I should trust the glue they use to fuse them, even after seeing how it happens in JerryRigEverything’s video on it.

As a wise man once said, “the cylinder must remain intact”

The whole reason I’ve switched to DuckDuckGo on all devices, but there’s also the fact the google page is heavy as fuck and takes too long to load because of the AI bloatware

Didn’t think I’d cross digital necromancy off my bingo card!
