I like that they say “outdated” stereotypes like they used to be true but now they aren’t.

Come on people, keep your steroetypes current.

I used my fake ID to buy Hpnotiq at the club because I was young and impressionable

lol I guess I shouldn’t expect more from a country where the AFD is running away with elections

Why would they fail you for putting the car in neutral and pushing the clutch in before you start the car?

What are you supposed to do if you want to let the car warm up or you’re waiting for someone or any other reason you want to start the car but not immediately start driving? Are you supposed to put it in first, push in the clutch, start the car and then just leave the clutch pushed in for 5 minutes?

Fuck you, yes we can

Which Trump policy’s do you expect to cause deflation significant enough to reduce your grocery bill?

Which Trump policy’s do you expect to reduce your dependcy on owning a car so that you won’t be at the mercy of oil companies, car manufacturers, and insurance companies in order to survive?

Is this some kind of weird market research?

Right? I want a PHEV so range isn’t something I really need to think about.

Fun fact: the person your replying to had absolutely no idea that a desalination plant was involved in this process.

Since a lot of people seem to be jumping to extreme conclusions about this based on specious assumptions, here’s how the process works according to the article:

Magrathea — named after a planet in the hit novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — buys waste brines, often from desalination plants, and allows the water to evaporate, leaving behind magnesium chloride salts. Next, it passes an electrical current through the salts to separate them from the molten magnesium, which is then cast into ingots or machine components.

Llamafile is a great way to get use an LLM locally. Inference is incredibly fast on my ARM macbook and rtx 4060ti, its okay on my Intel laptop running Ubuntu.

I got a little case like this one, helps a ton

I think the argument is interesting.

Absolutely no one would support this if the question was instead “If you’re alone in the woods would you rather come across a bear or a black/Mexican/Arab/whatever person”. However, since right now it’s socially popular to group men into a monolithic group and demonize them the man vs bear question and is a very funny and popular meme.

You can understand the point of the meme and still understand that it denigrates half the poplulation and creates toxic discord towards people who are perfectly good human beings.

That link doesn’t work; I’ll assume it says that he was denied asylum because he committed fraud against an Australian citizen. This doesn’t really provide evidence that his claims of being a spy are false, only that he committed fraud in Australia. It’s definitely a point against his character, but not evidence that he lied about being a spy.

Since you aren’t interested in being skeptical of your sources and jumped on the first thing that seemed to match the narrative you were pushing I found some evidence for you. Oddly enough there’s an entire Wikipedia article about him that goes into pretty significant detail about why his claims of being a high level spy are probably false.

It’s odd that you didn’t see the Wikipedia article, I’m sure you have access to Wikipedia in your country don’t you?

The South China Morning Post said a man claiming to be a former Chinese spy was lying without providing any evidence? Well that’s good enough for me, thanks for busting this myth with all this evidence!

Llamafile runs entirely on your machine. The largest one I can run locally is Mistral-7B and Wizardcoder 13B. They seem to be on par with chatgpt-3, but that’s okay for my purposes.

I use it for exactly the same thing.

I used to spend hours agonizing over documenting things because I couldn’t get the tone right, or in over explained, or some other stupid shit.

Now I give my llamafile the code, it gives me a reasonable set of documentation, I edit the documentation because the LLM isn’t perfect, and I’m done in 10 minutes.

A simpler answer might be llamafile if you’re using Mac or Linux.

If you’re on windows you’re limited to some smaller LLMs without some work. In my experience the smaller LLMs are still pretty good as chat bots so they might translate well.

I love duckDB, my usual workflow is:

• initially read my data from whatever source (CSV, relational database somewhere, whatever)
• write it to one or more parquet files in a directory
• tell duckdb that the directory is my data source

Then duckdb treats the directory just like a databese that you can build indexes on, and since they’re parquet files they’re hella small and have static typing. It was pretty fast and efficient before, and duckdb has really sped up my data wrangling and analysis a ton.
