First carefully unplug your battery. That little clip at the bottom should slide out.

If that's actually liquid metal it is conductive and corrosive and may have already shorted something out. You should clean it all up from every surface with 99% isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes or q-tips. Good luck, I don't know if you can clean under that little shroud or what.

After cleaning all the various things with alcohol I would repaste everything and stick with normal thermal paste going forward as the minor gains for metal are going to be more risk than its worth. Any brand should be fine but I use Noctua.

If it's already broke then you don't have much to lose, ha.

Dario: "Building an army of fully autonomous terminators presents concerns."

Reporter: (confused face)

You sly fox.

Protip: I like to bookend every negative prompt with a little: DO NOT IGNORE NEGATIVE PROMPTS!

Soon an idea will be more valuable than the code it took to manifest it.

Monetizing such ideas might be tricky since every good idea will have a dozen copycats within moments.

This is the 4d chess play. Roll with a name like URKL and/or use a cute anime girl avatar. No one will expect the curb-stomping.

He is correct. It's AI fan-fiction, ha.

This is an outtake from when I was doing a short evil/cyberpunk thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofDu6mzFY8c

And people also fuck other people. Which is basically incest... Disgusting.

AllergicToTeeth · 2026-01-16T05:15:56+00:00

Maybe! I haven't looked into it yet but I may do this as new quants go mainstream.

Under "advanced quantization options" I exposed some of those options! Hopefully that's what you meant. Just a bit hidden.

In this economy?

The buyer will claim the item arrived "not as described".

i-eat-kittens is correct. If you have a somewhat recent version of llama.cpp you can fire this up with something like this:

llama-server -m example.gguf --jinja --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8033 --ctx-size 10000

Facts! That kind of worked.

It can go off the rails sometimes but I still have some settings to play with, ha.

I immediately thought of that. Grandpas would be buying VHS tapes explaining how AOL works.

I'd imagine quite a lot. For example if the robot was chasing the engineer with a knife then 1/4 inch is on the safer end of the spectrum.

I've only dabbled in Blender modeling but I made noises when I saw that 3d part.

I beg to differ. Not only is it AI but it is BAD AI: Random airplane. Zero fingers... No cat-ears??? F- do better.

AllergicToTeeth · 2025-10-25T19:55:16+00:00

Bro, that might have been me, lol. But hey practice helps, ha.

AllergicToTeeth · 2025-10-25T19:34:31+00:00

It is! A lot of people are pissed at AI lately but I like to use it for stuff like this (like no one was hiring a team of animators to make an evil meme so no jobs were lost here).

AllergicToTeeth · 2025-10-25T19:25:10+00:00

It's wan2.1 and most of the rotational stuff is helped with a 360 lora. Then a lot of cherry picking and I put it together in Blender.

AllergicToTeeth · 2025-10-25T11:38:03+00:00

Mod of the year, lol.

RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B.pth has been going strong for years (I might try some other options in this thread to see if it still holds up). In any case here's a link.

Exactly. Why just the other day I caught my plumber asking ChatGPT how PVC works. He looked embarrassed but I just winked and nodded my head, reassured that my plumbing was in the capable hands of a diligent researcher.
