It’s not racist. It’s just what Chinese people started meming Xi years ago and the CCP government overreacted. Simple as that. Its what happens when an authoritarian leader gets flustered about their image.

You’d have to go looking for a specific model but https://huggingface.co/ has a model for nearly anything you’d want. You just have to setup your local machine to run it.

I’m not sure what you mean by ideal. Like, run any model you ever wanted? Probably the latest ai nvidia chips.

But you can get away with a lot less for smaller models. I have the amd mid range card from 4 years ago (i forget the model at the top of my head) and can run text, 8B sized, models without issue.

I was excited until I started trying to find their sources and they ended up just self referencing their own articles. Kind of an odd practice to not directly link their studies. Makes me not trust them. Glad to see you linking some in the comments though.

Not if you run it locally!

Big fan of age of decadence! I’ve been slowly going through colony ship, too. Glad they’re on a new project!

There needs to be less reliance on giant corporations. Those stinkers generally become evil as a rule. More competition is good for everyone.

I guess these conventions are only good for when you don’t really need them

I actually like the idea of a helmet that filters the air. Its something I didn’t really consider a helmet ever offering but something that I’d like to see in the future. Would also be interesting to see how this impacts wind noise.

Some concerns:

1. How easy is it to replace the filters
2. I don’t want to ever connect to an app to use the features of something I buy
3. I didn’t see a safety certification

Next bubble? They’re already calling dibs? We ain’t done with this one yet!

Macron just seems to be such a prick to me. What does he actually stand for as a leader? Just feels like he virtue signals but doesn’t actually care about what he says.

It’s sad because at least with public companies they must disclose important information to investors. With private capital, this is really only feasible for investors with large capital and leverage. Smaller investors may as well buy lottery tickets than invest into any private capital.

Very unfortunate

Believe it or not, straight to jail.

Still going to give Linux phones a shot now that the cats out of the bag.

To answer the question at the end of the piece: google doesn’t give a fuck.

I believe there’s something called Pince, that you could use.

Thank goodness there are still decent people in government

Article summary: Chinese EVs blah blah blah, Chinese EVs blah blah blah better than Slate.

Might be better off with a foldable trailer if that’s all you need.
