  • Interested to see how they implement this. I've always thought that the first 150 turns of Civ are a ton of fun, but eventually it turns into a slog. I've always wished there were more automation options in the late game, and faster processing of enemy turns.

  • Harris had some mediocre polling today while Trump gained a little bit of ground. I hope she pulls ahead further after the DNC but the election is still on a razor's edge.

    It's fun to read about Trump's massive failures like NABJ and the Elon interview, but I just don't want Harris supporters to get complacent. Trump may never have won in the first place if the NYT wasn't giving everyone a false sense of security with their 90%+ projection of a Clinton win. I hope everyone remembers right up until election day that this is a close race that could go either way and it's going to take everyone's vote to make sure it happens.

  • No, it's not due to the active virus but general dysregulation of the nervous system. It's likely related to inflammation that occurred during infection but there are more questions than answers at this point. NIH has a decent write-up on the symptoms, possible causes, and some of the avenues of research underway.

  • Oobabooga is a pretty beginner-friendly solution for running LLMs locally. Models are freely available on Huggingface, but look for GGUF quantizations that will fit in your VRAM. The good thing about GGUFs is that they're typically offered in a wide range of sizes so you can pick one that will fit on your GPU. If you use all your VRAM and start offloading to system memory then the generation will be far slower.

    I've had the best results with Noromaid20B and Rose20B quants running on a 16GB 4080. Don't expect it to be as smart as GPT 4.0, but those models do a pretty good job of following instruction and writing decent prose.

    Once you mess around with Oobabooga a bit, I'd highly recommend picking up the SillyTavern front-end. Oobabooga runs the actual model while SillyTavern manages characters, world lore, and offers a wide range of other features including a "visual novel" mode where you can set up character sprites that emote based on the content of the messages. It takes a while to get the hang of but it's pretty cool.

  • I have it, and it sucks. I hope the attention on it leads to new treatments, though I know that can take years. I also saw that Bernie proposed a bill to fund research and treatment but that will probably die in the House.

  • I highly doubt Kamala can make up the 5.5% deficit she's currently running in Florida, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

    If she does, then you're absolutely right. She would probably be up 7 or 8 points nationally at that point, and well into blowout territory.
