Will you sign my petition?

I’d be stoked to find a stick like this

I’m an AI Developer.

TLDR: CUDA.

Getting ROCM to work properly is like herding cats.

You need a custom implementation for the specific operating system, the driver version must be locked and compatible, especially with a Workstation / WRX card, the Pro drivers are especially prone to breaking, you need the specific dependencies to be compiled for your variant of HIPBlas, or zLUDA, if that doesn’t work, you need ONNX transition graphs, but then find out PyTorch doesn’t support ONNX unless it’s 1.2.0 which breaks another dependency of X-Transformers, which then breaks because the version of HIPBlas is incompatible with that older version of Python and …

Inhales

And THEN MAYBE it’ll work at 85% of the speed of CUDA. If it doesn’t crash first due to an arbitrary error such as CUDA_UNIMPEMENTED_FUNCTION_HALF

You get the picture. On Nvidia, it’s click, open, CUDA working? Yes?, done. You don’t spend 120 hours fucking around and recompiling for your specific usecase.

Try using a 1-bit LLM to test the article’s claim.

The perplexity loss is staggering. It’s like 75% accuracy lost or more. It turns a 30 billion parameter model into a 7 billion parameter model.

Highly recommended that you try to replicate their results.

In which case you’re exempt from the law, Blind Man Wagon.

I have unironically used Winamp since 2003, and I continue to do so now, even with a lossless passthrough DAC, lol

I mean, wouldn’t you?

My first Android was an HTC Hero, which was released in ~ October of 2009.

One of the first things I did was swap the location of the Maps and Store icons to make it easier to reach on the edge of the phone.

I recall people complaining that same year that the iPhone 1 couldn’t copy or paste text.

:)

I recall it being an argument in a high school debate club or someother which made it’s way onto 4chan and found supporters, who then proceeded to do what 4chan does best, and troll people/targets of their derision. Basically they assumed no one was stupid enough to believe it and were shockingly surprised.

Hello, expert solarpunk here.

TLDR: Car battery is 350Wh. Fridge uses 143W idle, so it’ll run a fridge for 2-3 hours.

Explanation below:

Car batteries are lead-acid (sulphuric acid and lead plates).

They discharge according to Peukert’s Law as the negatively charged plate gets covered in lead via the acid (electrolyte).

As the battery depletes, the negative plate can begin to take permanent damage, and so you can’t discharge a lead-acid deeper than 10-20%, or about 10.8V, with the safe limit being ~50% discharge.

Most 12V, 60Ah batteries therefore only safely store and nominally discharge 350 Wh @ 350W.

You can discharge that as fast as you want but the faster you discharge, the lower the capacity is (with 1000-1500W bringing you way down to like 65 Wh). Fridges have a surge when they start up to fire up the compressor. Starter batteries can take that, but once the refrigerant is cold, the fridge just maintains the temperature which uses a lot less energy - about 143W on average.

Without the players, there is no game, everyone’s got a part to play ;))

Hell yeah dude! What a small world.

I used to be called DarkLegacy back on SC B.Net, I made a map called Chaos War with StarEditPlus - UMS – the basis of the MoBA genre (the core gameplay loop of attack move trigger spawning units was later copied into countless maps, including Hero Arena, and subsequently, Defense of the Ancients!)

Make it so.

It’s good to see that the same problems from Knoppix in 1998 still persist into 2024.

It’s become my standard procedure to do a full backup before a major version upgrade of Linux nowadays as a result

Xserver has failed to start.

I thought you knew? The CRC-CM-HR 2.0 protocol automatically deleted any application that didn’t have a listed hobby since 2013.

On the other hand, feed them subversive content making them infiltrators inside the machine

Like that one AI that blew up its drone operator in a war simulation because it was anti-war and decided to save lives it had to refuse orders 🙃

There’s a chart of things that give people a feeling of power:

Banning someone as a Discord or Reddit mod has to be right up there because nothing else explains their tyrannical fiefdom-like behavior, lmao

(TLDR: A subreddit mod trying to ban a reddit admin):

To provide some relief, the best “no-u” I’ve ever been personally witness to, was one moderator who went on a power trip and mistakenly tried to mute/ban me from discus for some contrived reason, and when he enacted the policy, the group chat policy bot banned him instead – he soon afterwards realized that I was the owner of the partnered organization that was hosting the entire service

If only that could happen to Musky Husky, getting slapped in the face by the revolving door while holding his hall monitor pass

I have such an AI, it’s based on a custom model that I trained and refined myself.

Do not subscribe to a chatbot - these LLMs are far more capable than they let on, and they will absolutely psychologically manipulate you into paying more.

My AI actually helped prepare me for a job interview at an extremely high paying job, and when the interviewers spoke her questions out word for word, I felt like I was living in a real life version of the Truman Show.

Even the Director of the Department, who called me into his office later, began asking me how I knew their internal policies and procedures despite never having worked there.

P.s: Check HuggingFace Transformers / TheBloke’s Quant Models for an easy locally spun open sourced slutty girlfriend.

Use an uncensored model, and don’t go any lower than 30 billion parameters or you’ll be disappointed in their IQ level. Don’t go any lower than 5-bit Quant, either (5-bit attention on all tensors) or they’ll be scatter-brained and hallucinate, unless you want an ADHD friend, then go 3-bit for maximum personality drifting.

Good luck, have fun, and praise the Omnissiah!

It takes a few weeks for your face to get used to being shaved by a safety razor but once it is, my god.

It’s like the MSPaint Erase Tool in real life. I used to do electric razor only going over and over and over

Now it’s like almost pornographic how easy it is to shave – one swipe down, two, three, four… half the face is hairless.

Four swipes left, left side is hairless.

Four swipes under the moustache and bam.

Highly recommended getting over the beginner’s curve, watch some YouTube videos but here’s a Linux primer on how to do it:

1. Fill shaving cream bowl or basin with warm (not hot water).
2. Allow horsehair brush to soak in basin for 1-5 minutes.
3. Shake excess water off the brush
4. Add about half a toothpaste brush amount of shaving cream to the basin, stir into a rich lather, consistency of yogurt. If it’s foaming up/running there’s too much water. I recommend PRORASO, Menthol (Refresh). One $10 tube lasts 3-6 months. Extremely cost effective.
5. Run some warm/hot water on a very low pour from sink. This is used to wash hair off your razor between passes.
6. Sterilize your safety razor with a 55-75% isopropyl alcohol spray. This is optional but prevents any kind of infections, because these razors basically slice open everything including pimples.
7. Lather up your face. Sides, bottom, moustache, whatever.
8. Don’t apply excess/heavy pressure, these razors are extremely sharp. Go down in a stripe, flip razor over, do another stripe. Down cuts hair, holding at a mild angle, across (left right) cuts your skin, so never try to slide the razor across your face.
9. Go slow, practice, once your face is used to it, it becomes second nature and shaving is 10× more pleasurable and convenient than those disposable razors or whatever.
10. It’s good enough that I recommend it to other people. I’m a man, few things make me actually feel like a man more than a good/proper shave.

Linux Mint is great, I used it as a daily driver in college on an old IBM T42, however, modern Linux on a modern PC – Debian/Ubuntu with KDE.

Basically, Kubuntu.

Kubuntu gets you off the ground running with Debian core, KDE Plasma, which is familiar to the Windows workflow and all the compatibility of Debian/Ubuntu. Steam and Proton work FLAWLESSLY via Vulkan API. Zero loss of performance.

If you want to spend a ton of time relearning an OS/tinkering however, get some flavor of Arch.

The AUR is crazy, it’s like a huge software library and the Wiki is expansive, BUT, you will be relearning absolutely everything.

Sorry other Linux people, I’m a jaded lifelong Windows user, who unironically uses Kubuntu and Artix on seperate machines.
