Wasn’t he retiring? Go play golf, you fucking psychopath.

FWIW, LM Studio makes it incredibly easy to do this. I’ve been in tech for decades, and there are probably only a couple of suggestions I"d made to the LMS team if they wanted to target a broader, less tech savvy user base, but I think they already have their target demographic covered. I imagine the Ubuntu and Fedora crowds are already tech savvy, but vendors making it easier to ween reliance off tech giants’ LLMs isn’t a bad thing, if LLM’s are here to stay.

Now the one thing that will turn me off to initiatives like this is if these OS vendors restrct which model can be used, or make it more friction not to use their “chosen” default. Like Google just did by pushing What I"m assuming was Gemma 4 E2B to Chrome users. I figure Google wants to offload the LLM usage to local compute to take the load of their data centers, and since Chrome is already a data harvesting tool for them, there was no downside to their operations.

Yeah, I have seen the service life be in the 5-0 yer range. I see that as acceptable for a daily driver computer.

Sad to say, 100 is rookie numbers, especially for someone likely junior or maybe mid-level in their field. I"m senior in mine, and I applied to 54 before even getting a single phone call.

The least they could’ve done is install one of the abliterated models, so people can see how badly Gemini censors them…

For those that’ll go search that later, you’re welcome.

Heh, take my upvote.

I can’t believe they are FAFO with The Mouse ™️

It’s DJT, or course it’s a scam. Just like how the company will somehow be ultra profitable next time they need to quality for a high risk loan (his lifelong playbook).

Yeah, the down side is you need to be in the camera’s field of view to do this, outing themselves.

Switching to macOS as my daily driver years ago. Seeing the enshittification of Windows in the last ten years has been pretty breathtaking.

Side note, switching to Linux (hell yeah CachyOS!) for gaming has been a pretty rewarding endeavor. It has plenty of pitfalls, but I work in tech, and that’s half the fun. The other half was that I re-imaged my Windows 10 gaming PC to be a CachyOS gaming PC, for free, and CachyOS wasn’t all like “your hardware is too old, create e-waste and buy a new one with a Copilot button on it”.

I’m digging the Reese’s flavored Oreos, but the Oreo-flavored Reese’s just look gross.

I think the “no ethanol” stickers were meant to denote the higher octanes as not having it. I chucked because obviously the blank space has no ethanol.

Haha, typical. For some reason it reminded me of this meme image I saw a million years ago. Couldn’t find that, but this author basically wrote a whole blog post about it.

How the actual fuck can those videos be that long? Who has time for that shit…

OpenAI has entered the chat

“We know your IP address”. No kidding, that’s how IPv4 works, even if the browser wasn’t leaking offering it.

Do those petitions actually do anything real? I mean, other than be an attention vehicle.

I wonder if that’ll apply to CarPlay. Can’t wait to see if that causes any accidents…

They clearly only read the headline

Bold of you to assume any of this will be encrypted.
