Can run decent size models with one of these: https://store.minisforum.com/products/minisforum-ms-s1-max-mini-pc

For $1k more you can have the same thing from nvidia in their dgx spark. You can use high speed fabric to connect two of ‘em and run 405b parameter models, or so they claim.

Point being that’s some pretty big models in the 3-4k range, and massive models for less than 10k. The nvidia one supports comfyui so I assume it supports cuda.

It ain’t cheap and AI has soooo many negatives, but… it does have some positives and local LLMs mitigate some of the minuses, so I hope this helps!

Keep doing it. They all have strengths and suckiness at the same time.

That’s… not what they said.

Sex is more than fucking. The fucking is great but even medium term, there absolutely needs to be more. As others have mentioned it’s about a connection, intimacy, and feeling sexually desired.

The scheduled part is only something that would bother someone without kids. With kids, you either schedule sex or only have it very rarely.

Scheduled isn’t a dirty word, it just means you’re making time for someone you care about. I’ve found it’s nice to have a time to look forward to.

I have only surface level knowledge of ace folks, so pardon the question: is scheduled intimacy something you could look forward to and enjoy? With optional sex… knowing that the sex isn’t something you need.

If being intimate without sex isn’t enjoyable to you, it you don’t think you could make someone feel desired (at any level, since it’s obviously not going to be sexual desire!,) then I would suggest looking for other ace or ace-leaning folks.

Yup. Rare, but has happened multiple… oh wait, you said “strongly held.”

Even then, probably yes, but not a single… hmmm. I would say the closest I’ve come was this person talking about what it’s like to be trans. They said it’s like going into a shoe store, and you just can’t find a shoe that fits. Everyone is telling you you’ve got to buy a shoe that doesn’t fit. Why can’t we be ok with everyone deciding what fits?

They said it more eloquently than that, but it made the issue click for me. I was never against; I just didn’t understand, and they helped me understand.

Then much later someone pointed out the scientific data on SRY and that helped the data side of my brain. (The data didn’t change my acceptance, just furthered my understanding. I’m fully onboard and think it’s crazy that everyone else isn’t.)

Great question! (Mostly I have dropped out of online discussions, straw man arguments are so common it’s exhausting and not worth it.)

Last one doesn’t make sense any more, iPhones have been usb-c for a couple years now.

Shredded latex is the answer, 100%. But only if you are able to remove (or add) the latex as needed. I found I needed about half of what the pillow came with. Maybe a third?

The result is a pillow that can do it all: prop up your head for reading in bed, become mostly neck support for back sleeping (with a bit of shaping; takes seconds but isn’t automatic,) and ditto for side sleeping but at a slightly higher height.

Once you get used to a pillow that holds its shape and provides excellent support, all other pillows feel archaic.

I am trying so hard not to be a pedantic ass about 1GB and 1Gb…

… and failing.

We knew what you meant!

Most cars only lose value.

A very tiny minority of mostly exotics become collectors items and are worth many times their original value, even after considering inflation.

For heavy construction vehicles only three main factors need to align: normal replacement schedule, enough capacity for the heaviest day (which is quite predictable in many industries,) and the charging infrastructure.

The last one is a major hurdle and is holding back EVs on all levels already. In the US it is also the least likely to see improvement anytime soon

I am very very much not an artist, and yet also cannot imagine not being able to conjure up images of whatever.

It is fascinating how the brain works! Even if we barely understand it!

He personally does, but Grok calling him out on his BS makes Grok look better in my view. Still not going to use any product remotely associated with Musk though

Project 2025 is the lesser evil? Compared to?

I agree with you, except your use of “his.” OP only used the term partner.

If people would vote for good that’d be a choice. Consistently voting for “less evil” works towards that goal - having good candidates.

If “more evil” candidates keep winning, what message does that send to candidates?
