Maybe you’re just a moron, because a. this has nothing to do with politics, and b. even if it did, it’s happening in a Republican county:

This ludicrous stunt is being subjected upon Salamanca, New York, a city in Cattaraugus County, with a population of 5,929, and Seneca Nation land. And, as is the case with every single AI grift in existence, it’s being done not to actually help the widely impoverished people of Salamanca, but to try to promote the company’s AI.

Correct. Nothing but water. Pangea wasn’t the only supercontinent in Eath’s history, just the latest.

AI slop.

Fedora. Better than Ubuntu in pretty much every regard.

You’re gonna get your ear poked.

All apps developed by AI use useless, annoying, battery draining animations. That’s why you have to close them once you’re done if you want any battery life at all. The Suno app will chew through 50% of my battery in an hour.

AI art in my memes? It’s more likely than you think.

I’ll suffer whatever I want.

You’re not gonna believe this, but it’s the highest number before going to the next place in base ten.

The Pacific Ocean is really big.

Nothing stopping you. Well, except for the federal government and its military.

I definitely agree. Lol. But I also totally understand using Discord. I assume the community isn’t meant exclusively for people who currently self host, but also for people interested in starting to. In that regard, Discord will most likely be what those people have and are willing to use.

Poor kid. I hope he’s ok. Shitty parents should be ashamed of themselves.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

Not that it’s the same, but I lost my best friend to a fentanyl overdose two and a half years ago. The first year was incredibly hard. There were so many times every day that something would happen and I’d want to talk to him about it. I got pretty depressed for a while. The next year it was a little easier. Those times that I wanted to tell him something were more like once a week instead of once a day. This year it’s been easier. I still miss him like crazy.

I printed out a wedding photo wall for me and my wife, and since he was my best man, we had a lot of photos of him. I printed some really big ones of him, and they’re displayed prominently on the wall. They make me happy when I see them, but I still feel that loss.

I don’t think I’ll ever stop missing him and wanting to talk to him, but I don’t cry anymore when I think about him. It still hurts, but a lot less.

I guess that is to say, grief gets easier, but you never stop experiencing it. It gets easier to think about the fun times and laugh instead of cry.

It is such an amazing vehicle!! You’re gonna love it. :)

The problem with cheaper vans of this size is that the large thin panels (like the roof) will flex and bend when you go over bumps. That causes slight changes in internal air pressure as you’re driving which you feel in your ears. Adults generally don’t mind, but children will dislike it and babies will often start crying (think about how babies cry on airplanes for the same reason).

So, for cargo, or for driving adults around, yeah, this may be a great deal, but for families, it’s probably a no-go.

If you watch reviews of this particular van, that’s a problem that is specifically called out.

I just bought a VW ID. Buzz, and based on the reviews, I think the extra 50% price for the Buzz is worth it. The Kia seems like it would be an ok van for cargo, but not for a family.

A quantized 30b model will run on a 3080. I know because I’ve done it. But yeah, it needs to be quantized really small.

Edit: wait, no, you’re right, I’m thinking of a 3090. I’ve done it on a 3090, not a 3080. Quantized to 4 bits. And yes, it’s very slow. That’s enough to replace a human, right?

Mitch is very very dead. They’re just waiting until it’s politically convenient to announce it.

That’s just not gonna happen. Inference is incredibly expensive, and training is even more expensive. There’s not a lot that can be done to change that.

~Just use smaller models, my guy. Humans are so easy to replace, a 30b model running on an old RTX 3080 ought to do it, right?~
