  • Obviously you need lots of GPUs to run large deep learning models. I don't see how that's a fault of the developers and researchers, it's just a fact of this technology.

  • In deep learning generally open source doesn't include actual training or inference code. Rather it means they publish the model weights and parameters (necessary to run it locally/on your own hardware) and publish academic papers explaining how the model was trained. I'm sure Stallman disagrees but from the standpoint of deep learning research DeepSeek definitely qualifies as an "open source model"

  • Cannabis. At least most major cities in Europe/North America I find it really common now to openly smell cannabis all hours of the day. Combination of the strains being MUCH stronger and legalization. Even just 20 years back, of course in the Haight in SF or certain parts of NYC you'd smell it, or outside clubs/bars at night. But today I walk through Downtown SF at 830am and smell it every other block. Was in the design district in NYC a few weeks back and same deal.

  • Ughhh that was my fear. Haven't built a desktop in probably 20 years. I definitely worry about the time sink mostly in deciding every component, researching if it'll work with linux, sourcing it, hoping it's authentic, etc. Any recent guides you could recommend if I have to go down that route?

  • The National Rosie the Riveter museum in Richmond California (a stone's throw from Berkeley, SF, Oakland, etc) removed an LGBT exhibit. They also weren't told to do it but did so proactively so as not to fall afoul of Trump's anti DEI order.

  • Snoop is worth ~160M he could definitely have turned down this gig

  • Crime in Oakland, California went down 34% in 2024. Homicide down 32%. Alameda County (where Oakland, Berkeley, and other east bay cities reside) recalled the DA in the November election. The cognitive dissonance is through the roof.

  • It is wind chill not actual temperature. Still cold cold cold but not as bad as it sounds in terms of your internal organs freezing or whatever.

  • Trømp

    Jump
  • Two Norwegians are actually like 14 different languages. I had a girlfriend from Trondheim, i had learned "nynorsk" while living in Sognogfjordane and had a much easier time understanding people in Aarhus where we lived vs her dialect.

  • Also met my wife on there. Together for a decade now, 6 year wedding anniversary this spring. Iirc we were a 99% match. Which in hindsight is funny because even though our moral sensibilities and lots of our interests/hobbies are very aligned personality wise we are very different (but complementary for sure)

  • Oh get out skeleton man

  • Now do fløibanen!

  • It seems to me like a thread about pizza would likely be a good thread to ignore as a vegan rather than going out of your way to poo poo others culinary choices.

    In any case, Cheese Board also makes a super decent vegan pie daily.

  • Cheese Board with the green sauce is pretty life changing IME.

  • Ahh sorry I get our misunderstanding now. I meant as an analogy, for an individual your total income is like revenue is for a company (i.e., money in, not accounting for expenses out). AFAIK the payment to Trump came from Meta not from Zuck.

  • I think personal income is more akin to revenue than profit. If you bring in 100K then you pay out rent, food, expenses, etc and only profit 30K or whatever you manage to save.

  • It's 0.0007% of their 2023 revenue. 0.002% of their 2023 profit. To put into realistic terms, if you made $100K it would be like giving 70 cents.
