Panama. Greenland. Canada. Gaza.

It truly feels like Trump is desperate to cement his place in history with a territorial expansion. I honestly think these seeds were planted by Putin to destabilize Euro-American (and NATO) relations.

They insulate themselves from the difficult topics and nuance of the real world with Fox News and a carefully curated Facebook/X feed.

Instead of having their beliefs challenged regularly and being forced to critically think and introspect, they only reenforce their world-view and get fed a steady dose of fear, hatred and outrage until they're incapable of human empathy with people different from them.

It's awful. I've seen it with several family members and friends. Good, kind-hearted people transformed into the most hateful versions of themselves with only their most negative emotions driving their decisions.

It takes something deeply personal and challenging to force them to reevaluate. And for some that's not even enough. They'll double down instead of admitting they might be wrong, and go back to the comforts of their carefully crafted world instead.

Wake me up when they finally do transparent aluminum.

Silly. They're looking for a fall guy, not actually addressing the problem or being responsible.

"Oh God! The consequences of my actions are impacting me!"

And it's stunningly good. Absolutely running circles around Gemma 3 and Phi-4

I'd recommend Qwen 2.5 Coder. Just try to ask very direct questions with smaller context.

QWQ is a bit stronger at more advanced coding tasks but I had a ton of trouble finding a version that would fit in my 24G 7900xtx.

Better method:

Walk up to geologist, hand them a rock

"Look at this cool agate I found!"

Where "agate" is substituted for any obviously incorrect identification.

They are. They're shipping several RISC-V SOCs

"We are currently clean on OPSEC" - man leaking information on a non-official channel while cosplaying as a military leader.

My daughter's daycare is more stringent on OPSEC for christ's sake.

It's like an email with a "If you're not the intended recipient please don't read and dispose of this message" footer levels of OPSEC.

Agreed. The gimmicks are garbage.

Formula E is great, and their lap times are getting to the point they directly compete with F1 hardware, and F1 has a monopoly on the best drivers to boot.

Couple more years, and I think the constructors will be demanding all electric.

Well I was born and raised here, so I'm very biased, but I love it. Nature is everywhere, we have a ton of true wilderness, and people are generally very polite and kind. Lots of different cultures in the melting pot and fun cities/towns big and small.

Add onto that our politics (in the metro area especially) and it's hard to beat.

Perhaps. But it won't be a success story here. Minnesota has odd politics. We're quite progressive for the US and extremely oddly progressive for the Midwest/Great Plains. Even our dyed in the wool conservatives are fairly libertarian (actual definition, focused on personal freedoms) in their beliefs.

Of course we still have our share of hateful and misinformed people, but this tack isn't going to be very popular here.

All performative. MNGOP has been ineffectual and effectively out of power for 30+ years.

I use OLlama & Open-WebUI, OLlama on my gaming rig and Open-WebUI as a frontend on my server.

It's been a really powerful combo!

Sounds like a venereal disease. Though to be fair, so did 'Hogwarts'

Yeah they disappeared him and his family when he was just 6 years old, then announced a loyalist the new Panchen Llama. That was 30 years ago.

And Hitler was Austrian, never had a nuclear family, blue eyes, or blond hair.
