Great idea! You're 95% of the way there and the rest is a couple of UI tweaks.

1. I thought the table showing a bunch of models after my laptop specs would be models I could run on my laptop.

    Model Tier Example Models Params RAM Needed Your Status
    Top SOTA GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini Ultra 1T+ Datacenter —
    Large Models Llama 3 70B, Mistral Large, Command R+ 70B 64 GB  Usable
    Mid Models Llama 3 8B, Mistral 7B, Phi-3 Medium 7-13B 16 GB  Usable
    Small Models Phi-3 Mini, Llama 3 2B, Gemma 2B 1-3B 4 GB  Your Tier

2. I don't know what 'usable' means. How can these models be status:usable if they are not 'my tier'? I deduce 'usable' doesn't mean usable on my laptop but I don't know what 'usable' does mean.

3. Give me links to set up the best model I can.

This isn't constructive feedback. In my case it detected my Mac's capablities accurately and gave me models to use. What was wrong about it?

I would accept that such people are entitled to their beliefs only if they would equally believe in the extreme innocence of a chicken who has not caused any harm in this world and they would seek to punish the murderer of the chicken.

Why is equating human and chicken life necessary for you to accept that people are entitled to their beliefs?

A finger is not able to live independently, but the same is true for an embryo.

The finger is the person's DNA. The child is not their DNA.

In a 2025 University of Iowa single-center study (published in JAMA Network Open), out of 22 infants born alive at 21 weeks gestation, resuscitation was attempted in 17. 6 survived to NICU discharge (about 35%), and 1 remained hospitalized.

Yes. People are prepared to pay Stripe 1% of all their revenue, same way they're prepared to pay card companies 2%.

software that does something in a way that causes a human to have to expend effort every time they use it which could easily be fixed by one-time effort on the developer's part, but the developer is either uninterested or hostile to the idea of fixing it.

Yes, exactly! It's like devloper doesn't understand that automating thibgs like this is the point of computers.

Request bodies and headers. You should be aware of this before you participate.

Sure but you still know which connection belongs to which licensed customer which seems to be how this person was identified.

Microsoft literally logs all web requests

Microsoft sends every URL you visit in Edge back to Microsoft servers,

Not the same thing.

Ngrok license not VPN license but yes, it’s correct as other posters have mentioned

Microsoft literally logs all web requests

Nope. That would be unbelievable but also very well known. It was a Windows software licensing matter, see my post above.

Good question. My understand is that it was licensing:

Hackers cloaked IP address -> VPN license -> Windows GDID -> Hacker's name.

Contrary to the title this isn’t about the web but rather makes an argument against trusting suppliers to hide your messages from the same suppliers.

I provided specifics and you said I was being obtuse.

There is no shortage of examples of musk being a shithead

People doing things you personally don’t agree with doesn’t make them evil.

I am not going to litigate every detail in these articles because that’s not the point of this thread

You were caught lying about a serious matter of course you feel bad. You made an accusation of someone distributing CSAM but they provably did no such thing, and worst of all you did that because you disagree with their politics.

I am not going to waste any more time on you.

Yes because you’re ashamed and want to cower. It’s not nice to lose in public.

So weird and gross.

Rather than call other people weird and gross when you’re exposed like this why don’t you seriously consider how you’re spending your life?

I’d write a more detailed response about exactly what I think of your character but Dan is going to show up and I’d like to follow the rules.

I know the point you’re attempting to make but I’ll answer anyway: no but my work is vastly less tedious.

No, the opposite. I’m being acute. You are vaguely (I suspect deliberately vaguely) referring to “CSAM generation“, I’m pointing out the specific issue of generating images of children wearing bathing suits (children wearing bathing suits has historically not been considered CSAM) and giving references to prove it.

“we all know musk’s character” is not an argument, in fact, it’s a textbook example of https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/logicalfallacies/Appeal-.... I could make the same comment about his enemies.

The original issue was specifically to do with bikini photos - parents often upload pictures of children in bathing suits without this being considered CSAM content, so Grok (and all other AI models) weren't moderating this. Here's the original article from Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/grok-says-safeguard...

Do you mean that Musk not making fun of concerns is easily falsifiable, or Musk making fun of concerns is easily falsifiable? Nobody in this thread has been able to provide evidence that Musk mocked CSAM concerns.

From your NPR article:

Previously, users could ask Grok to edit images and put people into revealing clothing like bikinis.

It's because bikini photos aren't generally considered CSAM, or weren't until this year. NPR states "Musk mocks critics" but there is no evidence of him mocking CSAM concerns, and the second two documents don't mention Musk making fun of concerns at all.

From your second article:

musk “not aware” of any naked underage images

There aren't any naked underage images. They were bikini photos as linked to from your first article: https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/grok-says-safeguard...

But show me something that has become so critical in your day that if I took it away tomorrow, your work would actually fall apart. Show me something truly life changing.

Descript. I edit video for work and I am not ever going back to manually seeking to edit video. I am about 8x faster with Descript.

This isn’t even a raw praise post: Descript is wildly unstable and shitty at times but I STILL won’t use anything that doesn’t have transcription-based editing.

I used to think, when I disagreed with someone, we were on a journey together to find out what the truth is. Maybe my understandng was wrong, maybe theirs, maybe it's something neither of us thought of.

But then I realized that most people don't think that way. It's more important to not be alone than to know the truth, and people tie their individual identity to their group identity - if a fact contradicts their group identity's approved list of observances, they'll take it as a personal attack. So I just say 'ok' now.

I’m not entirely sure if believe a person that writes about “the USAID cuts, which I call a ‘Silicon Valley Genocide’ in my book.” about the specific reason they were banned from X, given how many anti capitalism, left, radical Islamic and even pro Hamas accounts happily exist on the platform.

Threatening violence? Yes you’ll get banned. Otherwise nobody cares.

You have to be pretty spicy if you are getting banned from Reddit

I was banned from Reddit for saying that a (well recognised as terrorists) terrorist group should be destroyed. That is a fairly mainstream opinion.

Other people are banned from Reddit for disagreeing with trans ideology to the same extent as today's supreme court decision. The court decision isn't particularly surprising and neither is people saying the same thing on Reddit.

Not having border control and not having effective border control are effectively the same as having open borders.

You're right, Florence!

If anyone's played Assassin's Creed II (or any of the Ezio games) (these older games were produced with help from historians) Ezio's scar comes from a street fight on Ponte Vecchio in Venice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKTXd7L01pI2

Non-Android Linux does have users, but people don't use Airpods on their gaming PCs.

Ambitious could mean so many things.

It just means ambitious. That, I would have thought fairly obviously, encompasses more startups but also people wanting to better their lives in some way.

In the GaWC rankings it’s 4 tiers behind NYC.

Yes. Decline and growth take time. Skate to where the puck is going.

It means more people in Miami are likely to be starting businesses than people here in NYC are. I’m surprised you couldn’t come up with a guess about that.

It is illegal under NY Penal Law § 240.40 to appear in public under the influence of narcotics or other drugs (to the degree that you may endanger yourself/others/property or annoy people nearby). This is a violation (not a crime/misdemeanor), punishable by up to 15 days in jail and a fine of up to $250.

The point re: Paris is that most cities would look better when compared to Paris on safety.

Only London and NY reach the Alpha++ world city designation.

As someone that's spent the last two decades living in both, it's a little bit of past glory. Miami is more ambitious, Lisbon is where smart international companies go. London still has great universities but they're lessened and capital goes elsewhere.
