Llamafile is a great way to get use an LLM locally. Inference is incredibly fast on my ARM macbook and rtx 4060ti, its okay on my Intel laptop running Ubuntu.

I don't know why Biden would cause so much inflation in Canada, England, France, Germany, and just about every other country on earth, but he did. What a dick.

Obama is also at least 10% to blame. Vote Trump 2024 to teach the Dems a lesson.

I got a little case like this one, helps a ton

Economically, militarily, and politically...yeah..

Lol

Several desperate Gazans intercepted trucks delivering aid from the pier over the weekend, leading the UN to suspend the delivery operations until the logistical challenges are resolved.

Eventually everyone has to go full Battlestar Galactica

I think the argument is interesting.

Absolutely no one would support this if the question was instead "If you're alone in the woods would you rather come across a bear or a black/Mexican/Arab/whatever person". However, since right now it's socially popular to group men into a monolithic group and demonize them the man vs bear question and is a very funny and popular meme.

You can understand the point of the meme and still understand that it denigrates half the poplulation and creates toxic discord towards people who are perfectly good human beings.

It's amazing that Putin has managed to transform Russia from one of the worlds most powerful countries into a vassal state to China in such a short time.

So you think they chose right and this is the best outcome for the people of Gaza?

Unfortunately for a leader like Bibi there isn't a middle ground. Even more unfortunately the Israeli right wing has too much political power to allow a prime minister to be elected that would find a middle ground.

Hamas horribly miscalculated when they attacked Israel on October 7th, and now the innocents of Gaza are paying the price.

That link doesn't work; I'll assume it says that he was denied asylum because he committed fraud against an Australian citizen. This doesn't really provide evidence that his claims of being a spy are false, only that he committed fraud in Australia. It's definitely a point against his character, but not evidence that he lied about being a spy.

Since you aren't interested in being skeptical of your sources and jumped on the first thing that seemed to match the narrative you were pushing I found some evidence for you. Oddly enough there's an entire Wikipedia article about him that goes into pretty significant detail about why his claims of being a high level spy are probably false.

It's odd that you didn't see the Wikipedia article, I'm sure you have access to Wikipedia in your country don't you?

The South China Morning Post said a man claiming to be a former Chinese spy was lying without providing any evidence? Well that's good enough for me, thanks for busting this myth with all this evidence!

It was a pretty common phenomenon. Wikipedia article about the subject

I think the answer is no even if they own only a single copy (digital or physical) at a time.

This company copies home movies from VHS to DVD. The linked article implies that when you buy a product you're only buying the format you purchased. So if you buy a physical book you're only buying the rights to have the physical book, not a digital copy of the book.

Correct. Joe Biden is not a dictator with ultimate power and control over everything that happens in the United States.

Should Biden borrow a play from Xi Jinping or Putin and have Trump executed?

Should Biden the military to force Donald Trump off of ballots?

What legal recourse so Joe Biden have to stop Trump from running for president?

If they aren't going to come through with a Palestinian state then Hamas doesn't have much to lose right now by just dragging israel through the mud further.

That's an interesting take. I think more Palestinian deaths would be a pretty significant amount for Hamas to lose. Seems like you're not at concerned about the genocide as you pretend to be.

I've almost entirely switched to using pak for managing my R packages. I'm not 100% sure what the magic is in pak, but it's really made my life easier when installing packages.

I'm not sure if you're using Quarto or not, but use it almost daily and frequently write R and Python in the same file without any noticeable overhead.

I think the major difference is now everyone can get their tailor made brand of misinformation based on their own biases.

For example Cambridge Analytica had about 200 personality profiles that they used for targeted disinformation during the 2016 political campaign. So before people spreading misinformation had one or two stories to try and convince everyone. Now they know just about everything about you and can bombard you with misinformation until they find something that sticks.
