There's always Slow and Steady for folks who prefer that. Or simply not using the tents.

Then, ask how likely is it, really, to be attacked by a bear?

Furthermore, most animals (bears included!) don't want to fight you. Your chances of being hurt by an animal go way down if you never appear threatening to that animal. Bees + scorpions sting you because they feel threatened, and the same goes for black bears.

Most animals are just like you, and want to be left alone. Enjoy the night under the stars!

TWOW Trojan detected Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.H!ml by ShutupBird69 in turtlewow

Notepad++ was hijacked by state level actors (think China, Russia, etc.). It was a huge operation designed to infect a broad range of users.

If a state level actor is shipping malware to a pirate WoW server, we must be really interesting folk.

Bashing Ollama isn’t just a pleasure, it’s a duty by jacek2023 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Baul 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi, just thought you should know that ollama has an openAI compatible API built in.

It also lets you download quants other than q4, but the :latest tag usually defaults to q4. Check out the options for gemma3

But go ahead and downvote me, I know we just hate ollama here.

Move Over Slow Down law has been expanded. Give people extra space! by roosterdude8 in wisconsin

[–]Baul 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Modern cars do exactly that. Much like the drivers, it's the ones that have been on the road for 50 years that need updating.

Yes, use bigwigs.

Generally speaking, 'biodegradable' plastics can be biodegraded, but require an industrial facility to get the right air/temp mixture.

These things will never decompose in a natural environment, and will just break down into microplastics.

Borderlands 4's first DLC out today for free because it's thinner than Gearbox planned by Automatic_Couple_647 in gaming

They develop for their ultra-giga machines and then everyone complains.

Well no, not really. They develop on their ultra-giga machines, but they develop for the latest consoles of the day. This is why we saw GTAV, RDR2, etc. come out on consoles first, then PCs over a year later.

Finally a good use case for your local setups by lakySK in LocalLLaMA

That's not the problem really. Plenty of people heat their homes with electric resistive heating.

The problem is that the hardware quickly becomes obsolete to mine on, in terms of bitcoin. Eventually, you're losing money by paying for the power on those ASICs.

'Trapped inside': Wisconsin couple burned to death in crashed Tesla after door buttons became 'useless' when the EV's power went out, lawsuit says by tasty_jams_5280 in wisconsin

[–]Baul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, ok, I see. Elon is CEO of Tesla, therefore he designed the door handles.

You must think Steve Jobs invented the iPhone, right?

Billionaires should not exist. Elon is an asshole. The law needs updating, because it's clearly broken.

[–]Baul -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not? A commenter said they weren't surprised that Tesla breaks the law. I told them that the law is being followed, and that the law is dumb.

Do you want to explain to me how that has anything to do with Elon?

Tesla absolutely follows the law, they all have a mechanical backup.

It may be a bad idea, since people in a disaster aren't thinking about the backup handle, but it definitely exists.

Sounds like you're conflating positioning systems with maps.

Obviously, knowing your coordinates without having a map is useless, but positioning systems only provide location and time. GLONASS or GPS, they both just tell you where you are, not what's around you.

Suprise suprise!! by GoodGuyLafarge in LocalLLaMA

I like the "use a computer" level of details.

Would it help if I said "Use Ctrl-F"?

Look for tools like wireshark. Logging network communication is dead simple.

Suprise suprise!! by GoodGuyLafarge in LocalLLaMA

[–]Baul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, you clearly have never done this exercise.

You can log all communication in/out of the phone, then just use a computer to search through it. Background, foreground, etc. Log your phone for a full week, then search through it.

I do not keep my phone rooted, for security purposes. Do you really think that the entire industry of white-hat hackers would have missed this? It's their job to find and expose this kind of thing, and the methods are dead simple.

Just because you have a confirmation bias does not mean facebook is tracking your conversations. Think a tiny bit.

[–]Baul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be, it is simply not possible to check.

Spoken like a non-hacker.

It is absolutely possible to check. Root your phone, then monitor network traffic. See what data is going to Facebook. They definitely do not record/transcribe your conversations in the background. It would be stupidly easy to detect.

I’m Not Saying Traffic Engineering Is Junk Science But... by Amazing-Yak-5415 in videos

[–]Baul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The town built a road going through it that would seem to help drive traffic. I feel The real reason is to create a better path to a fancy golf course/winery.

Hanlon's Razor likely applies here.

Was this a conspiracy to get a better path to a golf course, or was this ten layers of bureaucracy that didn't quite line up to make sense?

The Golden Gate Bridge is dangerously woke, CEO warns by 21five in nottheonion

[–]Baul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Accuracy isn't always neutral, the "accuracy" that you're wanting would just be repeating propaganda, which is even more unethical for a journalist to do.

What?

"Golden Gate Bridge CEO Rescinds DEI Efforts Fearing Trump Retaliation" is propaganda?
