Cool. Friends of mine and their toddler daughter lived in a small Cambodian village for about a year about 30ish years ago. They said after about a month or two of living there the village got together and got them a front door as a welcome gift because up until that point they didn't have one.

In 4 days JetKVM is about to release their new light models. It's roughly $40usd if bought in a 3 pack. One is ethernet based, one is wifi based. I did the math and I can't even build an a equivalent product for that plus postage from parts.

It's worth is the equivalent of a toddler saying all dogs will turn in their owners if school is allowed to open on Monday.

Did someone ask them their motivation? I theorise birds are lazy and a group disturbed air current means they need to flap less.

If you are playing around at home I suggest seeking a MoE model. You get less penalty from having less vram and offloading to normal ram. I run Qwen 3.6 quant 6 on 250k context on a 16gb vram 64gb ram ddr4 PC. I get about 31tps which is enough for my use. After a little tweaking I have put results of it's output into Claude Pro for vetting and it hasn't found any flaws in the simple scripts and things I've asked it to make. I can only run Qwen 3.8 which is a dense model and not MoE. At low quant with not as much context. It spits out accurate short context answers if that's all you need. So I prefer 3.6. Tiel is faster but Claude picked up more errors in what I was doing. Orinith kept getting into thinking loops for me so I stopped using it. Anyway I'm just a little guy.

Which Qwen?

Bro just flat out pops her one for gigs.

I only just noticed people calling her Joanne because she identifies as JK. Nice one.

I'm in that age bracket and one of my best friends, about a month ago, started using chatgpt instead of a search engine.

We went to dinner after work and the place was closed. I went back to my car to grab something and when I got back he was fiddling with his phone and frustrated. He said 'i'm trying to figure out (using chatgpt) if this other place is open.'. I just opened Google maps, it had the opening hours and I clicked directions and we were on our way.

Known this guy forever and I found it weird he would think that was better.

I learned one morning that a cmos battery could become a resistor. It can fail in a way that it's not working nor completely dead but passes just enough current to make a server motherboard that otherwise might A: Work, B: detect it's dead/missing and boot anyway with defaults to instead C: just freeze and not do anything. That was a fun full day of time wasted.

A software dev friend of mine works in autonomous vehicles. He is certain a Tesla cannot reach an acceptably safe full safe driving level without lidar and it's widely known in the industry. But they push on anyway. They don't care. They will say or do anything to achieve their goals.

They're scared of her, how can I tell? Those pissweak white balaclavas.

Ignore. Empathy is hot.

I was looking up a review of a mediocre tech gadget the other day. It turned out it sucked, in research Google took me to Reddit and every third post about it was a glowing "I use blah every day and it works perfectly for my needs and I'm glad I bought it." The negative posts were obviously real with details about annoying quirks and the very positive posts were obviously AI/sponsored. And it reminded me why I left and how normal this has become.

Local Send. I got it from Techno Tim recommends.

The best.

I opened Lemmy and this was my top post in home, I came back 6hrs later and it was still the top post. I'm not mad.

I thought a guy at the end would walk in without a mustache and he'd be called Debian.
