Nope, they can use your NPU, GPU or CPU whatever you have… the performance will vary quite a bit though. Also, the larger the model the more memory it needs to run well.

I’m not 100% sure but I think it’s from a time when spoons were rarer and everyone had their own spoon. So, to discard your spoon meant you’re done with eating for good.

Finnish ones (some sayings here too):

• “Ski into a spruce!” -> Get lost!
• “So the forest answers as one calls into it” -> what comes around goes around
• “If you reach for the spruce you’ll fall into the juniper” -> don’t bite more than you can chew
• “to be like hit on the head with a piece of wood” -> to be baffled
• “it went into the forest” -> something failed
• “to have own cow in the ditch” -> to have their own hidden agenda behind a request or actions
• “to throw the spoon into the corner” -> to die

Been on PS+ for 7 years and canceled it immediately when I saw the price hike. Also, not going to buy consoles anymore since they’ve gone to shit.

Depends on how you define meaning. I find meaning in experiencing the life. It may be predetermined or have random elements in it but the experience is unique to me.

Anyway, given all we know about us and the universe I haven’t heard a coherent proposal of how free will could work. So, until there’s good evidence to convince me otherwise … I can’t help but believe it doesn’t exist.

I’m not saying that humans are just AI, I’m just saying that there’s no fundamental difference in the sense that we also respond to stimuli… we don’t have free will.

"What we call AI lacks agency, the ability to make dynamic decisions of its own accord, choices that are “not purely reactive, not entirely determined by environmental conditions.” "

That’s from the article and I referred to that.

It’s one of the terrible hype trains again… However, I wonder what makes him think that humans are something clearly more than a model that gathers data through the senses and reacts to external stimuli based on the current model. I think that’s special pleading.

Huh? The things people do for that wage will certainly rise in price due to inflation. Interest on bank accounts usually correlates with inflation, house prices go up with inflation (if you own one, it’s value usually does too)… It’s usually only stuff that wears out quickly and/or electronics (stuff that has steep inherent value deprecation) that do not grow in value due to inflation.

You should be able to do that, you’d just need to set up and maintain the Nextcloud instance yourself :)

I use Hetzner’s Storage Share (which is a nextcloud instance) as my drive and pay around 5€ / mo for 1 TB. Depending on the features you want you could also use their Storage Box which is more like a plain network drive, and cheaper… like 13€ / mo for 5 TB.

I must admit I don’t know the situation well but I feel like “immunity from child emotional abuse claims” is not the right move. This feels like a symptom of much wider problems. Parents work way too much, kids spend too much time in school, too much revolves around being “productive”. Parents can’t parent much but they feel the pressure to provide their kids with best possible future… Much is left to the teachers who probably need to do parenting work too without necessary time and tools. So they suffer, because kids suffer because parents suffer.

Yup, I’ve started avoiding gaming forums, mostly stopped following news/rumors and hype trains and I’ve become “patient gamer”. As a result, I pay much less for games and enjoy more the ones I get.

this plus:

1. For many companies the majority of operating expenses are related to employees, so they will try to resist raising wages, preferably cutting them and/or firing people (also, union busting)
2. Product quality will suffer
3. They’ll try to skirt regulations and lobby to overturn them
4. In capitalism there’s no such thing as enough when it comes to ROI so we go back to 6.

Umm, what makes you think that if they did exist they wouldn’t also be explainable by science? Also, if you dig really deep into anything you’ll find all kinds of fascinating stuff even if it’s not supernatural.

People challenging the seriousness of the climate change are saying “we will adapt and survive like we always have”… Yeah, our “adapt and survive” could look like that.

I’ve been developing stuff with .NET and F#. For the most part the experience with the compiler, libraries and IDEs + tools has been good. Haven’t had to touch visual studio or windows. Most devs run Linux or MacOS and the end product is deployed on servers running Linux and open source dotnet. I’m about as far as you can be from a Microsoft fanboy but you might want to get up to date with the ecosystem. Is it my favourite tech stack? No, but I’ve experienced much worse.

I’m a long time Linux user and a programmer. What I love about it (besides privacy, non-pushiness etc.) is that I can pull pretty much whatever program or tool I need from package manager and that command-line lets me integrate many command line tools with graphical apps.

Just yesterday I made a little script that pulls weather data from a “non-official” weather station that is closer to me and stores it in a csv-file, then I could bind a key combination to fire another script that plots and shows me that data. It’s just a few command line tools mashed together. A few days ago I wrote little scripts that control lighting in my house and I can bind keys to those as well… maybe that’s “tinkering” too but they’re small things that make my life a little bit better :) Is that impossible to do in Windows? No, but Linux has much less friction.

I use Youtube-shorts block -add-on. It rewrites the url for shorts and shows them as normal videos (because they are). IDK why they had to make a new purposefully shitty player for them.

Well, when I get thirsty i am flirting…with migraine. I don’t have a schedule I just habitually drink a lot of water… but to be able to drink regularly I need to carry it with me.
