I’ll give that bot a 50% chance, too

That’s optimistic. I wouldn’t give chatgpt even 5 years. YouTube maybe another 20.

I’ve been using these for about 20 years. I just don’t feel clean without it.

There’s about a teaspoon worth of gunk there any given night.

H.264 frames can be coded out of display order. This is just an info log. Nothing to be concerned about.

Best of the 80’s? The Greatest American Hero.

Had to scroll way too far to find the right answer.

I had an infected in-grown toenail when I was 13-15.

The treatment is too cut the nail lenghtwise to the root and get rid of that excess root.

First try the anaesthetics didn’t bite because of the infection. The doctor didn’t believe me until she was at the root. Two weeks of antibiotics and she tried again.

Second time anaesthetics worked. The doctor tried to get rid of the root with lye. The only thing I felt was my foot going cold as she rinsed away the lye. It grew back in-grown.

Next time was are a private practitioner. Similar procedure, anaesthetics, cut it lengthwise to the root. But instead of lye, he just scraped down the root with his scalpel. It’s been great for 30 years now.

My creative output is programming demos.

I do enjoy the process. Changing a bit of code and getting immediate visual feedback is a very enjoyable loop to be in until I’ve achieved what I set out to do. And those heureka-moments when you make giant leaps are just the cream on top.

My toddler is thriving in pre-school. We can’t teach her how to be independent and socialise with other kids at home.

I can see a life situation where we would homeschool for a limited time. I’d expect both teaching parent and kid to do standardised testing to make sure the education is up to the national curriculum.

Home schooling should be be an excuse to not school, which it seems to be in some parts of the world.

Not really, but they’ve regulated very similarly to public schools. They have to follow the national curriculum and can’t charge tuition.

In practice I’ve only ever seen Waldorf schools as far as private goes. Maybe internatioal baccalaureate is private, too? I guess there might be some with focus on going pro athlete, too.

I’ve had better luck with llama.cpp for opencode. I’m guessing it does formatting better for tool use.

Gemma4 doesn’t Turboquant. But it is leaner on the KV cache.

edit: looks like there are forks that do turboquant already

Most do. My social circle and family are spread out over the EU.

I had a SIL and FIL who don’t own, and are generally bad with money. I fear we’re going to have to take them in when they reach retirement.

It’s a good way to keep the exploit around for seven days, too, if you apply it right away.

Yeah, but I’m not gonna go mug shopping until I’ve had my coffee

Same as I do every morning. A big mug of coffee and a big shit.

No amount of money would change that.

I work at a startup that classifies and extracts data from often very fuzzy sources.

We are encouraged to use agents for development. We use models in our services for things like pinpointing Coca-Cola* cans in YouTube videos. We offer our customers LLMs to discover how Coca-Cola and Pepsi are presented on YouTube.

*Soda scenario imaginary. I don’t want to dox my niche, but it’s similar enough problems that we solve.

When I’m overwhelmed I lay off alcohol and pastimes.

It stresses me a lot to have things undone. It even affects my sleep.

It helps to write down everything that needs doing, so that I can detach from thinking about it at night or over the weekend. The note will be there on my desk/fridge in the morning so I don’t forget. Check of the easiest things first to reduce the cognitive load of context-switching.

We recently retired our color laser printer of ten years for an epson ecotank. I’m happy with it two months in, and only the black has depleted some 10% with the Mrs doing a couple of color copies daily.

Hobbit drinking songs.

You can drink your fancy ales. You can drink them by the flagon. But the only brew for the brave and true comes from the Green Dragon

I got drunk and bought a t-shirt on eBay.

It featured a rainbow unicorn with the text “HAIL SATAN”.
