Fun fact, DEDSEC is a type of memory used in Soviet era mainframes.
Ok, I'll come clean, I'm actually an angry T-Rex that drives on the wrong side of the road. I'm just looking for validation
That chiropractic care is not evidence based
I'll jump on board with this too. Someone's got to be the smartest person on earth Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
If youβre driving the same speed as the car in front of you, you have no reason to use the left lane
What if the car in front of you is driving at the same speed but heading right at you? Or if there is an angry T-Rex in the right lane?
OK, I did the math. I could turn $1K into $74M in 10 years with that strategy. I lost a year of growth because I thought Ethereum was released in 2013 however it was the white paper that was released in 2013, the coin started public trading in August 2015. Either way, I'd still be happy with that return.
- 2014-06-19 twiddle my thumbs because Ethereum hasn't been released yet
- 2015-08-01 $1.00 = 3.22ETH
- 2020-01-02 3.22ETH = $421.24 = 6.12 ZOOM shares (also buy toilet paper and n95 masks)
- 2020-06-01 6.12 ZOOM = $1538.262 = 6.80ETH
- 2022-12-30 6.80ETH = $8170.67 = 570.18 NVIDIA shares
- 2024-06-18 570.18 NVIDIA = $74773.41
I'm doing this from memory to stay in the spirit of the question. I'd buy ethereum, then pivot to zoom in early 2020, pivot back to etherum mid 2020, then finally to NVIDIA at the end of 2022. I'll look up how well my memory works have served me.
The scene you're describing is a good example. Though I would argue that given this story line is set a millennium in the future, it isn't just lazily progressive, it's an ultra-conservative view of the future. It perpetuates today's bigotries as universal truths instead of challenging the audience to perceive of a future without our current bigotries like the Kirk / Uhura kiss did 50 years ago.
The original series was based in a post-race society. When Kirk and Uhura kiss, it wasn't an interracial kiss in the show because the concept of race doesn't exist in the 24th century universe. It got backlash when it aired because some people couldn't contemplate a the future without their current bigotry existing. Star Trek explored current social issues by visiting some planet with a veiled version of that issue.
Contrast that to Discovery where Burnham is having a conversation with an Admiral and the Admiral brings up Burnham's family's history of slavery.
I agree. Discovery is the least progressive Star Trek series and is already aging poorly. The other series use the Star Trek universe to cleverly explore present day issues whereas Discovery lazily frames today's social issues as if they're universal truths. It was a real back step for the franchise.
That's fair. I appreciate that every instance host has the right to moderate their community any way they want however moderation rules should be clear and consistent. Banning people for posting respectful criticism of communism is inconsistent with the rules of lemmy.ml
I'm not defending these people. I'm saying illinformed hot-takes are common on the Internet. However they are an useful opportunity to understand an opposing perspective even if they're based in factual inaccuracies.
In my experience, most people are great. If a stranger has a wildly opposing opinion to myself, it's rarely because of differing values and more likely because of differing experiences.
Everyone that has been on the Internet for more than a few days has an illinformed hot-take floating around. You can learn something for a perspective even if it's not based in fact. Read with compassion and you don't have to believe everything you read.
That's 128GB RAM, the GPU has 24GB VRAM. Ollama has gotten pretty smart with resource allocation. Smaller models can fit soley on my VRAM but I can still run larger models on RAM.
I've installed Ollama on my Gaming Rig (RTX4090 with 128GB ram), M3 MacBook Pro, and M2 MacBook Air. I'm running Open WebUI on my server which can connect to multiple Ollama instances. Open WebUI has it's own Ollama compatible API which I use for projects. I'll only boot up my gaming rig if I need to use larger models, otherwise the M3 MacBook Pro can handle most tasks.
I'm running a search instance on a VPS so my home IP isn't linked to my searches. The main disadvantage is that my VPS is in Toronto and I live 2hrs away so geo searches don't work very well. For instance, if I Google "restaurants" I get results for local restaurants whereas if I Gregle (I named my search engine Gregle) I get results for results near my VPS.
DM me if you want a link to my instance to check it out. It's open but I don't publicize it because bad actors could ruin my IP addresses reputation with spam queries via the API.
The use of CSAM in training generative AI models is an issue no matter how these models are being used.
This is tough, the goal should be to reduce child abuse. It's unknown if AI generated CP will increase or reduce child abuse. It will likely encourage some individuals to abuse actual children while for others it may satisfy their urges so they don't abuse children. Like everything else AI, we won't know the real impact for many years.
Jokes on you Slack, I'm not intelligent!
These raccoons were having an epic all day love making session outside my window yesterday. They're nocturnal so I guess this is the equivalent of an all-nighter and I assume the masks are a kink Β―\\\(γ)/Β― Every 30 mins they'd venture out of the dead tree's hollow and start up again. Putting the wild in wildlife. Awww, to be young again...
The mangy fox was in a rough state by the time he had the treatment. We hadn't seen him for a few weeks and we were worried the treatment was too late. Then earlier this week my partner spotted what she thought might be the mangy fox. The fox looked healthy but it's tail wasn't full yet. Today I spotted him again and managed to take a video. We're confident it's the same fox, he actually left us a poop present on our back deck in the same place he used to hangout when he was sick.
It was a nice surprise being able to walk to our hotel directly from the airport on well maintained side walks and cross walks.
The arguments I've heard about tracking etc are misguided and don't understand the actual risks.
Firstly, posts on the fediverse are already likely being consumed by advertising platforms like Facebook & Google. It would be trivial for big tech companies to setup relays that act as scrapers.
Secondly, the value in platform's tracking individuals is for advertising. There is no mechanism for these platforms to identify you browsing the we if your instance federated with threads. Your instance won't share cookie sessions etc with threads. It doesn't increase your exposure.
Thirdly, these platforms have the know how to deal with spam and they will be incentivised to share that tech with other federated instances.
Don't get me wrong, Facebook is an evil company. But I haven't heard a decent argument as to why them joining the fediverse is a bad thing. We always have the option to defederate in the future.
Change my mind.

We're visiting Norway at the moment, it's a beautiful country. We're obviously here in the high season with lots of employment. What do tourist workers do in the winter when there is much less work?
