Yes the more men the less gay is my understanding.

Pretty sure lots of old games still look great. Why else would there be modern pixel art games still coming out? The graphics of yore may not have been advanced but they had an art style which is more important than graphics and more than most modern AAA games.

Ummmm 4k is way less important at couch distance compared to desk distance. Most of us don’t have TVs that occupy the same field of view from the couch as a monitor does at the desk. For example I have a 32 inch monitor at my desk 1.5 feet away and a 65 inch TV about 10 feet away. Sure the TV has 4x the viewing area but my viewing distance is more than 4x so the picture is not as crisp.

Half? I didn’t understand any of it. The words mostly made sense but their usage did not.

I’m not a skilled coder but sometimes need/want to get things done. So I’ll try my best get something that doesn’t quite work right then ask it to tell me what’s wrong and fix it. Once it works I ask it to explain the issue further. Its helped me learn.

Probably my favorite trek because it was my first trek. Also its the only one that actually treks.

I code at a kindergarten level so its been useful for me when I’m trying to get an idea to just work. I tell it what I was trying to do and give it my code and then I ask it to fix then explain what went wrong. Works pretty well in qwen 3.8 27b on my GPU in zed. But I’m not making huge apps or public code just dumb scripts for me. So ive found ive actually gotten better this past year. Its all in how you use it.

Running a local llm in obsidian is actually pretty useful but I’m not asking it to do much. Just search my human notes and find/summarize them. Is it a useful tool yes, would I let a cloud provider touch my notes absolutely not.

Yup thats how they do it. I went to a liberal arts college like that in the mid 2000s. 20k scholarship out of 30k tuition/boarding. Next year it was up to 35k. Year after would have been 40k, schalorship did not increase. Transferred to state school no scholarship but it kept my out of pocket about 12k.

I got hit up by a recruiter this week about a job with some startup trying to build data centers in the ocean and Peter theil is a major investor. I’m not looking for a job but going to tell them they have a dumb idea funded by an asshole sounds like a good time.

I get that gnome is quite inflexible in multi monitor mode but doesn’t bother me since second my screen is usually static and I just swap around the main workspace. Tiling extension just helps me organize them. The point was the market on tiling wm seems pretty saturated why even deal with a problematic one.

Cool story bro. Wasn’t trying to be cool and edgy by liking something as innocuous as a DE. Unlike insulting someone over their choice of DE or WM.

They only care about their competitors because they’ll be the ones scraping up the extra ad revenue. No one actually cares about the children. Almost as bullshit as the Sackler payout for causing the opioid endemic.

Same I still us gnome, though I did use budgie for a while.

You can just get a tiling extension for GNOME and it just works, or use sway or i3 there’s no reason for hyprland to exist.

Karma is clearly taking care of at least his playing career, hopefully he’s lost most of that contract money to the victims too, but somehow I doubt that.

Like I just don’t get their philosophy. Foreign languages were always my worst subject but if some isn’t speaking English I dont really care doesn’t bother me. And as bad as I am at languages getting taught a phrase here and there by someone makes me happy and usually makes them very happy if I reuse it with the down the road.

Absolutely. I’ve softened my stance a lot recently. I think local llm are fine. The data has already been crunched the books destroyed and the water used so I may as well play with one locally. If you set realistic uses as a tool its fine. Need a quick script great at that. Summarize some notes, or search through them also great. Not really into image gen or anything else but anything helping me get dumb stuff out of the way for just myself its a W. I’m not down with using it for public facing stuff.

I remember getting told not to use wikipedia as a source and that was pretty obvious. We also got told it was a great jumping off point and that the listed sources could be used. I feel like Wikipedia is the only thing I trust anymore.

I got a little fanless atom PC from work that was being tossed because it “didn’t work.” It did work you would just have to apply pressure to it before boot because the CPU must have been coming unsoldered. I just stuck it on the bottom of like 30 pounds of gear and never had a problem.
