I don’t really subscribe to the whole if civilization collaspes there will be no technology in anyone’s lifetime again thing. You aren’t going to go back to ordering shit off amazon from your smartphone or anything. However the knowledge that things like refrigeration, radio transmission, internal combustion engines, water treatment and such are possible is going to drive people to eventually find out how to get it by any means necessary.

How quickly this happens is a question of whether the majority of people adopt a “technology is too dangerous/a sin against God” idealogy or not.

Psensor. It’s gui only. I don’t care for the graph so I just resize the window until I only see the numbers.

Getting the cops to stop hunting down marijuana users is a lot better than nothing. Considering current marijuana laws throughout Europe, this is still a big step in the right direction.

Let’s see if they actually go through with it. And even then, let’s see if they do it without pulling a Thailand. “oh shit we accidently did the right thing, can’t have that”

If you get just the right gguf model (read the description when you download them to get the right K-optimization or whatever it’s called) and actually use multithreading (llamacpp supports multithreading so in theory gpt4all should too), then it’s reasonably fast. I’ve achieved roughly half the speed of ChatGPT just on an 8 core amd fx with ddr3 ram. Even 20b models can be usably fast.

This probably isn’t very helpful but the best way I’ve found to make an ai write an entire book is still a lot of work. You have to make it write it in sections, pay attention to the prompts based on what’s happening and spend a lot of time copy pasting the good sentences into a better quality section and then use those blocks of text to create chapters. You’re basically plagiarizing a document using ai written documents rather than making the ai shit it out in 1 continuous stream.

If you could come up with a way to make an ai produce a document using only complete sentences from other ai generated documents, maybe you could achieve a higher level of automation and still yield similar quality. Because otherwise it’s just as difficult as writing a book yourself.

As for software, use llamacpp. It’s a cpu-only ai thingy that can utilize multiple cores. You probably aren’t getting an nvidia gpu running on any arm board unless you have a really long white neck beard and a degree in computer engineering. Download gguf compatible models for llamacpp on hugging face.

I thought I never used it until my right shift key stopped working. I then found out that I use that thing a lot actually.

After doing a little research, maybe I’ll build a keyboard after all if I can get all the features I want. Where do I buy backlight compatible switches? Does “RGB switch” mean that the switch has rgb lights inside of it or are the leds usually attached to the circuit board? Are there cheaper ones I can buy that don’t cost $3.99 each?

I like vlc because I’m sexually aroused by traffic cones.

Smoking may be short lived but it does the job more reliably in my experience. I take an edible just for a baseline high, wait a little while and then hit a vape like once every hour or so. That way you aren’t wasting edibles on getting higher than you wanted and your smoking supplies last longer because 1 puff = really high.

Actually I got an nvidia card working on easy diffusion on Debian. The barrier for getting a text chat ai working with gpu acceleration is actually the fact that I don’t have the patience to deal with all that python venv nonsense so I use llamacpp. It runs in c++ which means no python dependencies to fuck you with at the cost of slower cpu-only generation.

Easy Diffusion just happens to be simple enough that I could actually figure out how to get it to work (it’s in python and needs a virtual environment) but it’s a different story for the text ais.

If you actually had the patience and knowledge to deal with all the python issues and/or had a distro that makes it easy (different distros deal with pip differently), I don’t doubt you’d be able to get Nvidia card acceleration working on some text chat ai.

I don’t even know what wayland is. I hope my system isn’t using it but I kind of don’t care enough to figure out how to check.

Probably both. A lot of them are pissed because it’s harder and harder to both continue firing people for thc and stay staffed. They want to have their cake and eat it too. Adapt to the times or fuck off.

In my 30s here. I spent my 20s getting shit faced drunk almost every day. I can’t drink anymore. The hangovers are just too severe. I would rather be sober and deal with all the boringness that comes with it than get hungover. And that’s exactly what I’ve been doing.

It’s a pain. Stuff does break for no reason. I’m a slave to it’s enhanced hardware compatibility and higher success rate at running proton games that are borderline. You just can’t beat the wiki and the community support. It’s too good to not have. But you still run into issues it’s just that I’d be no better off on a different distro.

Some people give birth in their own homes like in medival times. I know people who have done it. In my opinion people shouldn’t be having kids if society is so broken you have to do stuff like this but to each their own.

You can also stay drunk 24/7 if you’re a hardcore alcoholic. Can’t get a hangover if you never let the drunk wear off.

I ate a bunch of food, drank a ton of water and used the bathroom like 10 times. I used to be a more hardcore alcoholic. I think my body just can’t handle as much booze anymore.

If rich people and corporations are going to fuck the internet so hard it's unusable, we should make a new internet. One with blackjack and hookers.
