Block button exists for a reason. I'm using mine.

The "Israel has a right to defend itself" line is pure misinformation. Here's his actual quote, in full:

"Israel, of course, had the right to defend itself against the horrific Hamas terrorist attack of October 7th, but it did not, and does not, have the right to go to war against the entire Palestinian people."

It's fun. Getting away from it all and spending some quality time with nature. Hiking yourself into exhaustion. Sitting peacefully by the fire and watching it crackle.

Have low expectations and try to roll with whatever situations happen, things won't be ideal or perfect. There might be rain, there might be mosquitos, it might get chilly at night, the ground might be hard where you sleep. The best thing to do is be prepared and try to keep a good attitude. There is a kind of fun to be had in persevering through any unideal situations that happen.

Don't approach or interact with any wild animals. They aren't domesticated. If you encounter one, stay calm.

There are a lot of skills needed for camping, and a good way to spend the time on the first trip is to start learning these. Like if you've never made a campfire before, ask your friend to teach you how to gather kindling and build the fire.

because of credit card debt

wut, you're the only one trying to make a comparison between credit card debt and the national debt. They aren't comparable things, FYI...

wooooooosh. That wasn't the comparison.

Also Norway is literally the prime example of when a sovereign wealth fund works and makes sense... They have a massive... wait for it... SURPLUS... due to their nation's natural resources (oil)

Patently false.

😂 that cracked me up

Yeah of course they can, like I can open and fund an IRA while underwater on credit card debt...

Any nation can also have policies that are bad or stupid or horrific.

Because that's where the money that is put into the fund comes from. Otherwise you're putting in money that should probably be used to balance the deficit.

Those are for nations running a surplus, not a deficit.

Ironic, gallons per mile is actually a more useful measure for high fuel efficiency vehicles because it directly represents fuel consumption. Differences in MPG are more misleading to intuition as MPG increases.

For example, upgrading from an 18mpg car to a 28mpg car (Option A) saves more fuel than upgrading from a 34mpg car to a 50mpg car (Option B). It is easy to be misled that Option B would result in more savings because it is an upgrade of 16mpg rather than only 10mpg in Option A.

GPM does not have this problem and the differences can be compared directly, Option A in GPM is 5.5gpm -> 3.5gpm, for a difference of 2gpm while Option B is 2.9gpm -> 2gpm for a difference of only 0.9gpm, making it easy to see that the Option A is a greater impact to fuel economy than Option B.

AMD GPUs are well supported by many LLM frameworks. I'd recommend ollama

Your intuition about this is not accurate. 24GB is more than enough for running local image generation and training a LoRA. You also don't need an insane amount of data; a LoRA is generally trained with less than 100 images, usually around 15-30 images.

To do deepfakes, you're not training an entire brand new image model from scratch, which is only within reach of big organizations, you're just adapting an existing model that is publicly available. You can do this for free with open source tools. It is within reach of anyone with high-end gaming hardware or anyone willing to pay for some cheap cloud compute.

Further, LoRAs for most celebrities and famous people have already been trained and can be found on the internet for free, so the training step is likely not even necessary in most cases.

And someone like JD Vance is almost always using the same expression in the same light.

If this is the case, then images generated with the same expression in the same light will not look out of place.

But you will still be able to generate images with other lighting and facial expressions, even without sample images for them, because the base image model that is being adapted already "understands" differing facial expressions and lighting and can apply them to the subject of the LoRA, in the same way that it can combine random concepts together to create something "new" that wasn't present in the training images (eg a painting of a zombie unicorn in the style of a specific painter)

I would disagree with MBFC's opinion that RFA's credibility is "High" or that its bias is left leaning

Wow.

I'm not aware of specific bans or rules for this community beyond what is in the sidebar. It says that sources with Low or Very Low credibility rating from MBFC will be removed. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/drop-site-news-bias-and-credibility/ Drop Site News has a Mostly Factual rating, 2 notches above Low, so I'd assume it would be allowed? 🤷

Edit: I checked RFA ratings on MBFC and it's "High" credibility with "Left-Center" bias. LOL!!!

Calves are insanely strong, in general. They are constantly balancing your entire body's weight with every step and movement you make. Also as others have stated, squat and calf raise are different ranges of motion

Pretty sure I've seen folk run a terminal emulator and ollama on android
