I'm genuinely curious here: what makes this an incel meme?

Ren from Ren and Stimpy?

https://x.com/OpenAI/

This is one small example, but I get notifications on developer livestreams for new models and new API updates and feature releases. The OpenAI sub itself is not only too many hours late in publishing any of them, but it's also only a fraction of the updates coming directly from the company itself. This extends to many other orgs and people I follow.

I'm a developer so I like to have quick access to new info to many frameworks and languages (and other lead devs that post updates.)

I keep a raspberry pi dedicated just to have NES/SNES/etc emulators via the "retropie" distro. I have thousands of ROMs that I can plug into any TV with HDMI and SNES/NES USB controllers for it. $100 for a full raspi kit to have full access to anything just by copying some files over to a microsd card. Can't remember controller cost but that's kind of a given requirement.

X is where people I want to follow post unfortunately. If they posted on mastodon, I would use that more. As it stands, a lot of people and creators I want to keep up with are only on a few select platforms at the moment. Maybe that'll change in time but I doubt anytime soon. Same situation with YouTube, I'd like to stop using that too but it's the only place to find certain things (small example: individual magicians who sometimes perform on Penn & Teller also post their own videos on YT only.)

100%, it's just a smart contract on a blockchain that can have multiple keys and logic as to who can add or unlock or withdraw funds at what times.. (like if you have a 6 person org and a transaction requires the key signatures of 3 people to also trigger the action for example.) The possibilities are endless. NFTs, however, were hijacked by retards.

One of the major breakthroughs wasn't just compute hardware, it was things like the "Attention Is All You Need" whitepaper that spawned all the latest LLMs and multi-modal models (video generation, music generation, classification, sentiment analysis, etc etc.) So there has been an insane amount of improvement on the whole neural network architectures themselves. (LSTM, Transformers, recurrent neural nets, convolutional neural nets, etc.) RNN's were 1972, LSTMs only came out in 1999 come to find out.

2009-2011 was when we got good image recognition. Transformers started after the Attention whitepaper in 2017. Now the models are improving themselves at this point, singularity is heading our way pretty quickly.

https://ollama.ai/, this is what I've been using for over a year now, new models come out regularly and you just "ollama pull

All free and available to everyone.

In my experience it depends on the math. Every model seems to have different strengths based on a wide berth of prompts and information.

+1 for Mistral, they were the first (or one of the first) Apache open source licensed models. I run Mistral-7B and variant fine tunes locally, and they've always been really high quality overall. Mistral-Medium packed a punch (mid-size obviously) but it definitely competes with the big ones at least.

They're fighting harder for non-citizens than citizens at this point it seems. Not entirely sure why.

Have to agree sadly. I searched and followed many people, still my feed is completely devoid of anything useful or interesting. I can keep digging but I feel like a 1% incremental gain from weeks of trying to set the network/profile up and giving zero results feels like a lost cause to some extent. I periodically check back, and it's more of the same unfortunately.

GrapheneOS offers such an auto-reboot feature (18 hours by default, but the users can set it between 10 minutes and 72 hours), while the iPhone picked up something similar with iOS 18.1 (Inactivity Reboot) last year.

I was referring primarily to things that are known to be good security practices and widely known and used already. Keeping data more secure at rest goes with the "don't trust anything or anyone" goal, and if not doing it on Android due to said trust or lack thereof, then GrapheneOS offers it too at least.

Thanks for the voice of sanity. There are so many people freaked out by basic security measures that it boggles the mind.

That's a fantastic video. I follow Numberphile but never saw this one, thanks for sharing.

Never even crossed my mind because 'Murica and all but now I know when I use my passport to go full crazy mode ripping my bags apart to make sure. One time I checked in at the airport and had a small spring assisted knife in my laptop bag (utility purposes) but didn't want to risk anything so I tossed in the trash before the scanners. Not worth any hassle, bought a new one instead after I got back. Knives and bullets seem like the worst case scenario in that context.

Also drastically improved overall energy levels all day for me.

Heat guns are what I use to loosen things up.

Where did you go in the US if I may ask?
