Well, lots of people have ham at Easter, so a roast on Memorial Day isn't out of the question.

When I was in Korea, I leaned that chickens can (sort of) fly. They can flap their wings hard enough to get from the ground to a tree branch maybe 8 feet or so off the ground, and safely back down.

And I've heard chickens tasted better back in the old days. A bird that eats grubs, worms, grasshoppers, frogs, snakes, etc tastes different than one that just eats chickenfeed all day.

It's ok though, they have fecal transplants that can help.

How often do you hear that sentence?
(For anybody who's never heard of it, it's exactly what it sounds like)

Renegade Cut had a pretty good video about her. https://piped.video/watch?v=HC4K1mx0SPQ. I was mostly wrong about her. I didn't realize they became friends later. That's a pretty big arc for only one season.

Maybe we don't live in the worst possible universe. Madonna and Will Smith in the Matrix, everybody using the Hulk Hogan Grill, Stallone as Axel Foley, OJ as the Terminator. I guess I'm ok with where we are now.

Awesome. I'd heard that Pat was one of Redd's old friends from the "Chitlin' Circuit" era of comedy, but I've never actually seen him do standup.

A monopoly? How, by making better cards? When AMD or Intel makes a better card, I'll buy one.

The median salary at Nvidia is $266,939. I don't feel sorry for their workers.

Probably better to ask on [email protected]. Ollama should be able to give you a decent LLM, and RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) will let it reference your dataset.

The only issue is that you asked for a smart model, which usually means a larger one, plus the RAG portion consumes even more memory, which may be more than a typical laptop can handle. Smaller models have a higher tendency to hallucinate - produce incorrect answers.

Short answer - yes, you can do it. It's just a matter of how much RAM you have available and how long you're willing to wait for an answer.

One thing I love about usenet is that it's great if you're just looking for one episode, song, etc and don't want to download a whole collection.

Why replace torrents? Why not use both? It's a bonus if your usenet provider includes a VPN.

 

It's not just people trying to get out of Ohio.

 

An update to this post https://beehaw.org/post/6717143

 

Residents of the Cottontown neighborhood are concerned the two-building, 102-unit complex will house homeless veterans using government vouchers to pay rent

So they don't want to house homeless veterans, at least Not In My Back Yard™. And, when given the chance to walk back his comments at least a little bit, Harpootlian doubled down. https://thetandd.com/news/local/government-and-politics/sc-rep-ott-criticizes-sen-harpootlian-for-comments/article_0e6ee7c3-6333-5660-a138-82803d9ba413.html

 

I need to host about 30 Gb of video, light traffic, but may need to upgrade in a year if things go well.

Self hosting isn't really an option. I don't want to deal with the security issues of keeping the hosted stuff separate from my home network.

I'd rather avoid AWS/Google, etc and give my money to a smaller company instead even if its a couple of bucks extra.

I'm also looking for a .family domain if anyone knows some good registrars.

It's been about 20 years since I've hosted a website, and the only thing I can remember is don't use GoDaddy.

AMD saw huge gains on Thursday and Friday after getting a favorable mention in Dell's blowout earnings report.

AMD finally crossed the $200 per share mark and finished the week with a market cap of $327 billion.

To put it in perspective, AMD traded at $2.16 a share on January 4, 2016.

 

Nvidia managed to silence the doubters, rising 16.4% to close at an all time high, beating earnings and revenue estimates and posting strong guidance for this quarter. AMD gained 10.69%, closing within a few dollars of its all time high, and SMCI closed up 32.87%.

 

This is an interesting demo, but it has some drawbacks I can already see:

  • It's Windows only (maybe Win11 only, the documentation isn't clear)
  • It only works with RTX 30 series and up
  • It's closed source, so you have no idea if they're uploading your data somewhere

The concept is great, having an LLM to sort through your local files and help you find stuff, but it seems really limited.

I think you could get the same functionality(and more) by writing an API for text-gen-webui.
