He married into it and took his wife's last name; a proletariat Marx-in-law

I didn't watch the debate and neither did most of the sane world. Sharing the stage with a felon is the only atrocity I see. Giving that traitor a platform is crime. The billionaire owned news media trying to fabricate drama and controversy is no surprise. We don't have legitimate media or freedom of information. We have lots of psyops bullshit and lots of authoritarian surveillance nonsense.

Are you trying to tell me that the host server is showing the ad, because last I checked, with my whitelist firewall, I never see ads because all ads are links to the ad server you are actually visiting. It is no different than opening up the webpage and connection to them. They get all the same fingerprinting info.

I'm not saying one way or another here, but there is no such thing as anonymous data collection. It only takes 2-3 unique identifiers to connect a person between a known and anonymous data set and there are almost always quite a few more unique identifiers than this in any given dataset. When I hear anyone say stalkerware is anonymous, I assume they are no longer just a privateer of a foreign drug cartel level state, instead they are full blown slave trader pirates fit for the gallows or worse.

It makes a huge difference running bigger models. I like to run a quantized 70b or 8×7b most. These large models are far easier to access their true depth with less momentum required to find it.

The issue is not memory bandwidth in general. The primary bottleneck is the L2 to L1 bus width. That is the narrowest point, and it is designed for the typical pipeline of a sequential processor running at insanely fast speeds that are not possible if things get more spread out. The issues are more like radio than typical electronics. The route lengths, capacitance, and inductances become super critical.

It will make a major difference just to add the avx instruction set to consumer processors. Those are already present but fused off or simply not listed in the microcode in some instances. The full AVX instructions are not used because you would need to have a processes scheduler that is a good bit more complicated. These types of complex schedulers already exist in some mobile ARM devices but for more simple types of hardware and software systems, and without the backwards compatibility that is the whole reason x86 is a thing. The more advanced AVX instructions do things like loading a 512 bit wide word in a single instruction.

Hardware moves super slow, like 10 years for a total redesign. The module nature of ARM makes it a little easier to make some minor alternation. The market shifted substantially with AI a year and a half back. Right now, everything we are seeing was already in the pipeline long before the AI demand. I expect the first real products to ship in 2 years, 3-4 before any are worth spending a few bucks on, and in ~8 years, hardware from right now will feel as archaic as stuff from 20-30 years ago.

Running the bigger model makes a huge difference. Saying it will run at those speeds is actually making a statement about agents and augmented generation. I can run my largest models with streaming text barely faster than my reading pace. I can't do extra stuff with that kind of model because I would need the entire text to send to other code or models for further processing. This speed is saying, I could do many things like text to speech, speech to text, augmented data retrieval for citations, function calling in code, and running several models to do unique things while keeping a conversational pace.

The way the API changes were done showed a disconnect between public best interests as a public commons and corporate interests to monetize. It implied that I was being targeted individually for monetization. I feel that anyone collecting individual data about any human and selling that data is a new form of slavery through an ownership of a part of that person with the intent to manipulate. The manipulation of information through the nondeterministic targeting of search results is a coup of a pillar of democracy and all governments of the world. The free press must apply to all information on the internet. With the monopoly of only 2 relevant web crawlers providing results directly or indirectly, there is no freedom of information in digital form. This would be no different than every news paper stand being owned by two companies a hundred years ago. Targeting the individual directly is what the API move was designed to handle. So, to me, it was an attempt to enslave my digital autonomous person. When faced with such a subtle attempt to subterfuge one's autonomy, I feel like the choice was obvious.

Everything I say here is scraped, but only the server host knows my dwell time, sensors, and various fingerprinting mechanisms. Ideally I would self host, but lack the skill and resources. This place is still hosted in a datacenter, but I'm using the API through a 3rd party, so it is even more obscure. I used reddit through an app with a scraped interface before, when that quit working, I quit using the site. Reddit proved it can only get worse, not better.

Wouldn't need to fight for justice if felons were put in prison once convicted.

Anyone flying the banner of this coup attempting monster is a traitor to god and country.

Does Apple lack a feature to turn off or hide the file menu?

I don't recall if I custom bound mine or if GNOME defaults to, but I never see those old things unless I press F10.

I agree that it is not very pretty having all three of those bars in growing redundant nonsense. Tiling frames are like desktop icons IMO; very retirement-center historical-preservation aesthetic design, but we're talking about desktop environments at that point, not the app dev. Apple wants things to be their little aesthetic way to monopolize, so they intentionally make decisions that erode the usefulness of outside package standards.

That's one way of putting it. I find it has the depth to explore in interesting ways with creative prompting, it is just handicapped by so much alignment nonsense that it lacks mobility into and between those spaces.

A fallen hero.

I, good sir, do not shit like mere humans. I sit upon my gilded high horse who does the shitting for me.
