It doesn't have to take all the jobs. If it can take most of the fake jobs we've invented over the years, it will be massively destructive to our way of life. It seems to already have that level of capability.

Funny that you assume education will lead to some sort of egalitarian society. What do you think the point of modern education is? We all take the course in evolution and natural selection, whether we want to or not. We all study history. We all fraternize and learn the little political games or we drop out. Some of us recieve a degree in hard knocks. Why shouldn't the educated be more cutthroat than the rest of us?

It would be convenient if it's cultural because it would explain why transfeminine nerds retain "masculine" nerdy interests while avoiding a faux pas.

It's the init in the cpio which is the interpeted program, and the rest of the cpio is memory for this interpeted progam.

fairphone support for pmOS is improving. What DE were you using? It was probably just slow on the pinephone.

librem 5 is also an option. It is sorta expensive and weak but is the most capable.

right now im on calyxos but development has been paused for like a year

Surely AI has to take a shit eventually. What's all this racket about water usage?

I think their point is that by giving the gov control of monetary policy, you give the executive branch access to an unrestricted lever of taxation. They support "normal" taxation because they are easier to control than inflation

Trump won on anti-war talking points. His owners had other ideas.

You chose to use AWS

It's not naive. I've been to college. To call it intellectually demovating is an understatement

it seems infeasible that blue origin could pull this off at an adequate scale.

Still pretty good considering 17B is what one would run on a 16GB laptop at Q6 with reasonable headroom

Would you rather use a compiler, or have an LLM generate assembly code based on source code?

The purpose is to establish a new high-level lanugage

Brother, we need to eat. You don't need to go to college to learn about some topic, you can pirate textbooks. You need to go to college to get a piece of paper saying you did. If you were passionate about computer programming, you can do it in your free time while you flip burgers or do whatever you need to survive

I think what they're getting at here is that it's cheaper for countries to import the car from themselves because you don't have to cover the cost of manufacturing, just the cost of transport (which is low, because you are importing it from yourself).

I don't really need a foundation model's capability

I run Qwen-3.5 based LLMs in the 20-35 parameter range on my laptop's iGPU and it works great for my use case, which includes coding, search, reasoning, and general tasks. Gemma3 is good too.

There are ones that are distilled with better reasoning models or abliterated for whatever you need, and the multimodal features work... fine.

Just started running local LLMs this week, and it is pretty much overkill for what anyone in my family needs. All it really lacks is some tools for it to use, which I am putting together now.

To be fair, the best model I have used is claude sonnet. I don't really know what I am missing with opus.

You can use it at steak n shake

Firstly, you can run the LLMs on your own machine. So I find the proprietary/moat narrative weak.

Secondly, I find that correct usage of LLMs can accelerate learning. My brother used an LLM to generate flash cards for a driver's license test. I use LLMs to digest a ton of text and debug issues that would have been impossible to find (I would have given up) Have it generate, explain, review, compare code or general writing.

It is like having access to wise old man in every field. They may have inferior reasoning capability, and their memory may falter, but they have seen everything in their corpus and are great at pointing you to external references. And you can delegate them to busywork.
